The emperor pondered and said to Gong Yun: "Listening to Gong Gongzi's tone, it seems that you are very sure of what you just said. ”

Gong Yun smiled: "I am just conveying my father's words, as for how much of it is true or false, it depends on Your Majesty to know what to see." ”

The emperor nodded clearly: "I understand, then Gongzi also conveyed his thanks to Patriarch Gong on behalf of me, thank you for sending you to inform me." ”

"Your Majesty is polite, it is the honor of my father and my Gong family to contribute to the Yin country. ”

Contribute to the Yin country, not to the emperor or the royal family.

Be cautious in your speech and don't take sides.

This courtesy, although he is young, has an excellent grasp of the subtleties of his family's position, what to say and what not to say.

is really a young man and talented, but unfortunately he can't be used by him.

The emperor couldn't help but feel regret in his heart.

The appearance of respectful appearance frustrated the eldest prince's wishful thinking of provoking the three princes and the emperor in the middle, and the emperor seemed to have completely diverted his attention from the topic of the three princes and Rong Meiren.

The eldest prince wanted to say more, but was stopped by Sheng Zhuohuai's eyes.

They have missed the best time, and if they make another move, it will be deliberate.

And at this moment, Gong Yun on the side, his head was slightly on one side, and his gaze seemed to unintentionally sweep over the faces of the eldest prince and Sheng Zhuohuai, who were making eye contact.

Based on the experience of the Gong clan in the past, whenever they came forward, they would provide useful clues to the two major clans of the emperor and Xiang, and the emperor ordered someone to investigate the relevant information provided by Gong Yun about the painting of skin.

In front of the palace of the Marquis of Yin, the words were amazing, and there were two strange things in the harem in the future, these three things were analyzed together, and gradually there was a sense of clearing the fog and hiding the truth.

The Ghost Courtyard, Dali Temple, and the General's Mansion led by Han Tao joined forces, and soon investigated Fu Hengzhi, civilians, and the guards who had been given death involved in the incident, and sure enough, they were all changed at the time of the incident.

At the same time, they also found that the picture of a beautiful woman under the moon somehow entered the palace at the time of the incident in the court and the harem, and some witnesses even saw that the faces of the civilians and guards who were controlled at the time of the incident had appeared on that picture respectively.

The situation is exactly the same as Fuheng.

Because the skin painting technique recorded in the "Ghost Search Record" only roughly records the effect of the skin painting technique after it is used, and there is no other relevant information, so after a detailed investigation of the three incidents, the last three major court institutions unanimously concluded that "whoever has a face that appears on the beauty under the moon will be skinned, and then the consciousness of the person who has been skinned will be manipulated by the caster." ”

This is completely mild from some of the news that the Gong clan continued to provide after that.

Gong Qing, who lives in the Gong Mansion and does not come out, has a more thorough understanding of skin painting than he, the first ghost deterrent master in Yin'an.

If it weren't for knowing the Gong clan's consistent style of acting, Qiu Lingshuang would have almost thought that the Gong clan was the black hand behind the scenes.

Next, the breakthrough of this matter, Qiu Lingshuang, Luan Chang and Han Tao agreed that it was on the picture of a beauty under the moon, but the painting that had appeared in the palace had magically disappeared since it was witnessed.

In the quiet long alley, on a bluestone road, Yin Hou followed behind Yin Heng and was going to Xiangfu to see Xiangyu.

This time, Yin Hou fell for the skin painting technique, and Xiangyu wanted to understand some specific situations through him.

Today's rare sunny day, the scorching sun scorched the sky, as if the dry and hot summer days of a month ago had returned.

The road where the two walked all the way was rarely trafficked, only the father and son who were relatively speechless.

There were still about 100 steps to reach the gate of Xiangfu, and Yin Heng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped at this time.

He turned to look at Yin Hou behind him and said, "Father, I have something I don't understand, and I want to ask my father to solve my doubts." ”

Yin Hou followed and stopped: "You say." ”

Yin Heng asked: "Over the years, our Yin clan has not been of any help to the Xiang clan, and this time because my father was hit by the painted skin and the nonsense after the surgery dragged down the son, but why is the Xiang clan still willing to protect my clan all the time?"

"Of all the big clans in Yin'an, which one is not in the first place in terms of vital interests, Xiangfu has consistently maintained the Yin clan, it can't be because I am the son's close ghost deterrent master, right?" Yin Heng said this, showing a self-deprecating smile.

Yin Hou looked at his expression and replied: "The Xiang clan has been in the world for thousands of years, and it has its own way of doing things, you and I just need to know that the Xiang clan is a big clan that my Yin clan can rely on." ”

When Yin Heng heard this, he realized that Yin Hou didn't really want to explain, although he was a little puzzled in his heart, but after all, it was not good to ask anything more.

Father and son continued to walk forward.

Yin Hou looked at Yin Heng's strong back in front of him, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes.

Yin Heng didn't know that the Yin clan had secretly been acting as the eyes and ears of the Xiang clan inside and outside Yin'an.

It's not time yet, tell him about it.

At this moment, at the same time that Marquis Yin was heading to Xiangfu, Xu Fengyang, who had become a guerrilla general, also specially rushed back to the Three Princes' Mansion from the military camp.

After Xu Fengyang went to the military camp to report, the task of serving the three princes fell to Gu Yong, who was the strategist of the three princes.

Xu Fengyang was originally worried about this arrangement, but the third prince insisted on doing so, so Xu Fengyang didn't have much to say.

When Xu Fengyang arrived in front of the door of the Third Prince's study, Gu Yong happened to come out of the room, and the two happened to bump into each other.

Gu Yong was stunned when he saw Xu Fengyang, then bowed to him and said, "Gongzi is waiting for you, General Xu, please go in quickly." ”

Xu Fengyang nodded lightly at him, and then strode in.

Gu Yong was now in place, turned slightly sideways towards the house, and after thinking for a moment or two, he still walked away.

When Xu Fengyang came to the study, the third prince was standing in front of the bookcase, casually holding a flower branch to prune.

On the bookcase in front of him, there were many flower branches to be pruned.

The lines on Xu Fengyang's face softened, and he stepped forward to salute the three princes.

The third prince asked Xu Fengyang to take a seat, and Xu Fengyang said to the third prince with a worried face: "Your Majesty has any feelings against His Royal Highness after that incident?"

The third prince picked up another flower branch and began to prune, with a faint smile on his face, and replied: "It's okay, fortunately, Gongzi appeared in time to help." ”

Xu Fengyang was stunned for a moment, then understood, he put his mind at ease, and said: "The Gong clan has always been neutral and does not side with any side, if His Royal Highness can bring Gongzi under his command, he will definitely be able to strengthen his wings." ”

The third prince's gaze still stopped at the pruning of the flower branches: "You went to the barracks for a few days, but you have also learned to take precautions, and even people have become a little noisy." ”

Xu Fengyang smiled embarrassedly: "Since his subordinates have entered the barracks, since they can help His Highness, they naturally want to start planning for His Highness." ”
