After Prince He and Prince Gong left Qinzheng that day, they couldn't make loud noises in the palace, and the two walked out of the palace quietly.

It wasn't until they arrived outside the palace that the two began to talk.

"What is Lord Gong thinking?" When he came out of the Qinzheng Palace, he found that Gong Qin's face was a little heavy, and the ban was finally lifted when he left the palace.

"Xia Guan is thinking about returning to his hometown." Master Gong replied very politely.

"Do you still have relatives in Lord Gong's hometown?"

"Yes, yes, no."

"What are these words?"

Master Gong didn't answer, and kept walking.

"Lord Gong, this is the right time. Why don't you go to the Yanyu Building together? "And the prince hippie smiling face invited Gong Qin.

Lord Gong glared at Prince He, did not speak, and quickened his pace.

"Lord Gong, don't go so fast, wait for this king." And the prince is really thick-skinned.

Prince Gong still didn't pay attention to Prince He, and walked forward quickly.

At night, the night market is not bad, people come and go, and it is quite lively.

Prince He's palace is closest to the palace, and Prince Gong's mansion is farther away from the palace.

When he walked to Prince He's palace, Prince He didn't go home, but followed Lord Gong forward.

"Lord Gong is not safe this night, this king will send you home." He said with a concerned look at the prince.

Gong Qin still took care of him.

When he arrived at Prince Gong's mansion, he and Prince Gong followed him up the steps of the mansion and stood outside the gate.

Master Gong knocked on the door, and the subordinate opened the door for Gong Qin.

Prince He wanted to follow up, but who knows, Prince Gong glared at Prince He.

"The lower official mansion is poor, and it is getting late, so it is inconvenient to greet the prince. Lord Wang, please go back. ”

Prince He also said with a dead face, "This king is tired of walking, so I don't need you to entertain him, so I will go into your house and rest for a while." ”

"Lord Wang, a few steps ahead of here, it will be Yanyu Building. It is more comfortable for you to go up to the Yanyu Building to sit than to sit here in Xiaguan. ”

Prince He smiled wickedly, "Okay, this king will go to Yanyu Tower." We'll see you in the smoke and rain. ”

Gong Qin closed the door.

I waited with the prince in Yanyu Building all night, and I didn't wait for Lord Gong.

However, the mute waitress in this smoke and rain building is very beautiful, and the prince likes it very much.

Every time I go, I have to pull people to talk for a while, and I guess I have forgotten Gong Qin for a long time.

The next morning, Master Gong wrote a leave application on the grounds of returning to his hometown to repair the ancestral tomb.

This is also the first time that Lord Gong has asked for leave since he entered the court as an official.

That is, if the emperor agrees, the emperor naturally wants to approve. Not to mention the approval, he also praised the contribution that Master Gong has made to the court for so many years. Not only that, but also rewarded Lord Gong.

The court knows that the relationship with the prince and the Gong family is extraordinary.

Now that the emperor is in the court, he has allowed Prince Gong's holiday, and the prince naturally has to be cheeky to follow.

The prince's last dynasty was a formality, coupled with the prince's bohemianism and amorousness.

North Korean and Chinese officials will not have much of an opinion.

The reason for going with the prince was to follow Master Gong out of the palace to study. Learn from Master Gong's way of behaving in the world and change your habits.

The emperor naturally wants to approve it.

Since the emperor had approved it, the two decided to set off in the afternoon.

Prince He has long gone out of the city to wander, and the capital and the prince have already been wandering all over the corners. And the prince wants to go out of the city to release the free soul.

After the morning court, the two returned home and began to pack up their salutes.

When the two big men go out, they can't pack anything? Pack a few changes of clothes, bring some belongings and silver taels and you're good to go.

The two rode out of the city slowly.

"Lord Gong, what do you think of our queen from heaven?" Sitting on horseback with the prince, he said slowly.

"A heavenly queen? That's a good name. "Master Gong feels like a different style.

"It's still like this, Lord Gong, this king likes it. This king is very curious, how Lord Gong pretends to be stable in the palace, and he doesn't talk much. Won't you panic? "Joked with the prince about Prince Gong.

"If the lower official talks too much, aren't you holding back the panic?" Gong Qin also joked.

"Then it seems that the king has to thank you."

"You're welcome." Master Gong's style conversion is too neat. This is too far from Master Gong's style in the capital and in the court.

If it were someone else, he would definitely be at a loss, but he has known the prince and Master Gong for many years, and the prince has long been accustomed to it.

"What does Lord Gong think the queen meant? This king thinks that it takes so much effort to not look like it is just to find out the real culprit of the queen's murder? "And the prince is a little serious and serious.

"Agreed. It's just that the cause of the queen's death is too far involved. I always feel that the emperor has buried some foreshadowing. Master Gong also looked serious and serious.

"It seems that the imperial brother has something to say to us."

"The emperor didn't say it, naturally there is the emperor's reason. The emperor has always been far-sighted, and it seems that there will be big waves in this court. ”

"Also, the dull and calm personality of the imperial brother has not changed at all. This king thinks that we, the queen from heaven, are very suitable for the royal brother. Even God couldn't stand it anymore, so he specially descended from the sky and sent a queen to the emperor. "And the prince does not forget to joke with the emperor at any time.

"Although the mother is from heaven, she is so smart. The lower officials were worried that the emperor would be under their control. ”

"Isn't that bad? can watch the royal brother being controlled, and this king is also happy in his heart. "After all, Prince He is usually controlled by the emperor.

"If the mother is the same as the queen, she is dedicated to the sake of the Sina country, then it is naturally the emperor's right-hand man, and it is also the blessing of the people of the Sina country, if it is not ......"

"This king is looking at Niangniang and thinking about Si Na Country."

"How so?"

"This king has read countless people in this Yanyu Building, and he doesn't even have this point, and he has also lived up to the reputation of this king."

Gong rolled his eyes and glanced at Prince He.

"Niangniang is not the woman of this smoke and rain building."

"Lord Gong, don't worry. Listen to this king tell you in detail. ”

The first choice is that the mother dares to call herself the palace in front of the emperor. Dare to ask this woman in the world, who dares to be so bold.

It's like an official who dares to call himself an official in front of the emperor.

Moreover, the queen's eyes have never been seen with the prince.

The woman in this rainy building had a trace of sadness in her eyes, a trace of unshavenness, a trace of arrogance, a trace of unwillingness, a trace of humility, and a trace of helplessness. There are too many sad stories in their eyes.

In the eyes of the general concubines in this harem, there is a kind of strife, a kind of indifference, a kind of hostility, and a kind of resentment. The eyes are not pure, the purpose is too strong, or there is no purpose.

In the eyes of ordinary girls, there is a kind of innocence, shyness, and curiosity that has not been done in the world.

But the queen's eyes are different from them, there is a kind of openness, righteousness, neither humble nor arrogant, natural.

Not only are the eyes different, but the actions are also informal. When he saw the emperor, he didn't salute. There are also many unruly people among the officials of the DPRK and China, but most of their informality is the informality of life. In the face of the emperor, this etiquette is not bad at all.

However, the mother dared. The movements are also clean and neat, and there is no suspicion of intentionality.

It's like that's what it was.

Although the mother doesn't talk much, she will have some thorns. The style of speech is also very interesting, and it can drown people and can also kill people by drought.

Niangniang also has a skill that no one can match—a living map.

If this skill is really harmful to the four countries, the four countries will have no power to fight back.

The ancients said that the time and place are favorable. This shows how important this geography was in ancient times. I've heard, seen, and walked through to form a living map, which is simply terrifying.

Niangniang's hand, this ordinary lady's hand, that is ten fingers that do not touch the spring water. Not to mention the scars and cocoons.

Although there are no big scars on the hands of the queen mother, there are many small scars and many calluses. The nails are also not long, and there are almost no nails.

Nails are a symbol of a woman's status and blessings, but the length of her nails is shorter than that of an ordinary housewife.

And the prince is never seen.

asked for an age and was taught by the mother. This situation has never been encountered with the prince, and no matter whose age he asks, he will answer immediately.

But when I got to my mother, it became something that I couldn't ask.

The reputation of Prince He is also going to be ruined in the hands of Cai Xiaoxiao.

Gong Qin looked at Prince He hatefully, "The prince really lives up to his reputation." But why does the mother say that the prince doesn't understand women? ”

This is the second wave of slapping with the prince in the face here in Cai Yu.

Thinking about it with the prince is sad history.

"The king affirms that he only knows the women of these four kingdoms. This heavenly woman, this king really does not understand. Neither does the king deny it. Have the women of heaven seen this prince and the prince? ”

That's not bad, Cai Xiao is indeed from heaven. Times are different, and it is normal for people to have different cognitive ranges. After all, this cognition is related to people's experience and environment.

Speaking of this, Gong Qin's face suddenly became calm again.

"Lord Gong, do you remember anything again?"

"Xia Guan remembered Lord Shui."

"Lord Water? Why do you suddenly think of Mizu-sama? Lord Water won't appear in the Smoke and Rain Building, right? "I joked with the Prince.

"I did see Lord Shui in the Yanyu Building that day."

"What? Lord Shui, this bad old man, still goes to Yanyu Building? The news simply shocked and the Prince.

"It's just that Lord Shui went to the bustard's mother's room in Yanyulou."

"No, when the bustard mother of this Yanyu Building was young, she was the old face of the water lord, right?"

"I don't know."

"How long has Mizu-sama been in there?"

"It's not long, it should be the time of half a pillar of incense. It's supposed to be talking about things. ”

"Did you overhear something?"

"Nope. At that time, Su Wanyue seemed to be next to me, so it was inconvenient for me to go up and eavesdrop. ”

"Su Wanyue? It's the dancing girl who dragged it so much. Seeing him, Su Wanyue also depends on his mood. ”

"Yes, that's him."

"Lord Gong doesn't just want to talk about this, does he?"

"Of course not."

So Master Gong began to slowly tell about Lord Shui.

That year, Master Gong had just advanced and won the top prize.

Lord Shui took the initiative to contact Lord Gong. During the contact, Gong Qin found that the water master was a little strange.

Why is it strange?

The accent of Lord Shui's speech is obviously a Beijing accent, and it can be seen that he lives in the capital all the year round, or in the cities around the capital.

Later, I learned that the hometown of the water master is Wuzhou, and this accent is naturally in the past.

But when Master Shui said the word 'two', there would be an obvious flavor of Lord Gong's hometown in it.

Although the smell is already very light, it may be so faint that others may not be able to detect it. But for Lord Gong, this taste is enough to judge.

However, the hometown of Lord Shui is Wuzhou, which is not in the same direction as Lord Gong's hometown of Yezhou.

Master Gong asked Lord Shui if he had ever been to his hometown of Yezhou, and Lord Shui replied that he had never been there.

In the later contact, Lord Gong would subconsciously observe Lord Shui. Unexpectedly, the food that Lord Shui likes is similar to a food in Lord Gong's hometown.

At first, Lord Gong might have wondered if it was a coincidence, but now, in retrospect, it seems that it can't be explained by coincidence.

For so many years, because there was no chance to go back to his hometown to verify, Gong Qin had never mentioned this matter, and Gong Qin almost forgot about it.

This time I happened to return to Yezhou, so I can take this opportunity to investigate.

"There is a big age difference between Lord Shui and Concubine Shu?"

"Indeed, 10 years old. Mizumi's father is really in good health. ”

Prince He glanced at Lord Gong with a strange expression, "Indeed." ”

"But this lady does have the demeanor of a big brother. In the future, let's all worship the queen as the eldest brother and cover our younger brothers. ”

Lord Gong glared at Prince He and did not speak.

"Well, that's not the case. I knew that the queen mother was so interesting, I should have stayed in the palace and watched the big drama between the queen mother and the royal brother. He said with some regret.

"Don't say that you are so aggrieved, the lower official did not force the prince to go with you. It's not far out of town now, and it's too late for you to go back. Gong Qin looked disgusted.

"Oh, isn't this king worried that Lord Gong will go alone, the road is far away, and it will be lonely! Isn't this taking the initiative to invite Ying to accompany Lord Gong, so as not to be lonely with Lord Gong. ”

"Don't, Weichen can't stand this love with the prince."

"Oh, Lord Gong, don't be so polite."

In the midst of chatting, the two of them were getting farther and farther away from the capital.

The time was almost up, and the two hurried away. Before it gets dark, get to the next city, and it's good to stay.

The two of them worked so quickly that they finally arrived at Lord Gong's hometown.

The two were exhausted from all the way.

"This king knows why the mother said that she would not go with us, and said that her butt hurts. It really hurts. How can I go back? I'm afraid I'll have to take a carriage when I go back. He said in a pampered tone.

"When you get to the inn, let Er give you a kettle of water and apply it with a hot cloth."

"Later, Lord Gong will come to apply to this king." And the prince said shamelessly.

"No, no."

"Why, this king is not easy to deal with alone. Besides, this king has never done these things, how did this king do it? The prince was also coquettish.

"If you don't go, you won't go." Gong Qin refused simply and neatly.

"Lord Gong isn't shy. Two big men, what are you shy. ”

Lord Gong didn't bother with the prince and walked straight forward.

Gong has been away from his hometown for 7 or 8 years, and the original old mansion has long been unoccupied. Even when they arrived in Lord Gong's hometown, the two of them could only stay in the guest house.

In the middle of the night, Lord Gong knocked on the door of Prince He's room.

He Prince was very reluctant, got up sleepily, and opened the door, "Lord Gong, this big night is not scared, lonely, come to find this king." ”

Gong Qin hurriedly covered Prince He's mouth, and closed the door as he walked into the house, "We are out of the house, this is not a good name." ”

"That's right, low-key. Then I'll call you Gong Shi, okay? "And the prince didn't forget to joke at this time.

"In that case, then the king will call you Gong Ban, okay?" Lord Gong is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

"Anyway, I changed my last name, but it's okay. The surname Gao is a royal surname, which is not very suitable and too ostentatious. He didn't care about the prince, shook his head and said.

"If you like it, if you like it."

"It's so late, I don't know what Gong Shi is looking for this king?" It's time to get used to it very quickly with the Prince.

"I just had a dream that reminded me of ten years ago."

"What dream, so magical?"

Master Gong talked about his dreams and what happened ten years ago.

When Lord Gong was very young, he heard from the adults that there was a house outside the city that was burned down.

It was originally a large family's house, but in the last years of the previous dynasty, a fire suddenly burned down the entire house.

Strangely, however, not a single body was found in the house. So there were rumors that the fire had burned them all to ashes, so not a single body was found.

I didn't think it was anything before, but if I connect with Mizu-sama, it feels like a lot of things can be said.

So what exactly is the water lord hiding? And what is the shocking secret behind it?

This is just an inference by Master Gong, and there is no evidence.

Besides, after so many years, it is difficult to investigate.

"In the middle of the night, just to tell me about this, aren't you scaring me?"

"Is it scary?"

"How is it not scary? It was a fire again, and the body could not be found. Either it's orchestrated, or it's not artificial? ”

"I just thought about it suddenly, and I'm afraid to get up tomorrow morning and forget it."

"I don't know about it. But now that it's all here. Why don't we go to that house and have a look? ”

"Just look at it, after all, when we go back to Yezhou, I don't know if we will be followed or targeted."

"In that case, it's better to ask some elderly people, maybe they will be more rewarding than we can see directly."

"This can be there. There was a ruined temple outside the city, and there were many beggars there. They must know something. ”

"Hmm. This is good. In that case, can I sleep? ”

"Yes."

"How do you feel a sense of resentment, do you want to sleep with this king?" And the prince began to skin again.

"Are you a woman?"

"It's not."

"Can't you see the disgust on my face?"

"Yes, I thought Lord Gong had been single for so many years for the sake of this king?"

Lord Gong looked at him with great disgust, and glanced at it, "The official examination depends on ability, and the official examination in the court also relies on ability, and it is naturally based on ability to wander around alone." ”

After speaking, Master Gong opened the door and left.

He walked to the couch with the prince, lay down, covered the quilt and continued to sleep.

Sometimes the closer you get to the secret, the more dangerous it becomes.
