"I just want to ask if the third prince has given a secret order to your faction?" Fang Fan thought that what he said was not too subtle, but Yin Tao's reply had always puzzled him, so he simply asked straight to the point.

Yin Tao still said ambiguously: "We obey the emperor's orders, how can the third prince give us a secret order? ”

There were only the two of them in the room, and Fang Fan simply went further: "We Mingren don't say secret words, the emperor invited the Quartet and Ten factions to Beijing before, but the Dinghua faction was unwilling, and then went to Beijing because the three princes climbed Dinghua Mountain, and the position of your faction is well known, and I don't hide it from Lord Yin, I can sit on this throne without the support of the three princes, so we are in the same boat." ”

As for Fang Fan's words, Yin Tao somewhat understood what he meant, it should be that Fang Fan mistakenly thought that what they were doing was the instructions of the three princes. However, Yin Tao remained silent: "In this case, what the three princes said to us, Lord Fang must also know, how can he say the secret order?"

Fang Fan hesitated for a moment: "Lord Yin is so cautious, I can understand, I am not here to inquire about the content of the secret order, but I am afraid that there will be a disagreement with our guard department about what the third prince wants your faction to do, and if the matter is delayed, I will not be able to bear the third prince." ”

"So what exactly does Lord Fang want to ask?"

"Today, you sent Chen Moling and Gong Shuangting'er to the Guards Division to ask the emperor about the duty time of the imperial guards around him," Since Fang Fan has already said that, he will no longer detour, "Is this related to the three princes?"

Yin Tao had long expected that the matter between Chen Mo Ling and Gong Shuangting would be suspicious today, but he didn't expect the other party to think so, and deal with it like this.

"What about it, what if it has nothing to do with it? Since Lord Fang doesn't know, it must be better not to know. “

Fang Fan thought about Yin Tao's words, nodded smartly, and felt that he knew the mystery: "I understand what Lord Yin means, I won't ask more, I'll take care of it over there." ”

Yin Tao could already conclude that Fang Fan must have misunderstood something, and a plan appeared in his heart, he moved closer to Fang Fan and asked, "Since Lord Fang is so open-minded, then forgive me for asking Lord Fang a question." ”

"Excuse me. ”

"Lord Fang thinks that the emperor has been abnormally lately?"

"Very abnormal?" Fang Fan saw that Yin Tao was relieved, and felt that the other party was willing to talk to him, and was happy in his heart, "Yes, the thing that the third prince asked you to ask about is very abnormal." ”

"Lord Fang refers to the removal of the imperial guards?" Yin Tao also asked directly.

"Yes," Fang Fan nodded, "In the past, I was always responsible for arranging the imperial guards around the emperor, because the emperor was more cautious, and he only had to be sent to the imperial guards, and there had never been a time when the imperial guards were asked to leave, so I was actually not surprised that the third prince asked your envoy to investigate." ”

"That Lord Fang has some clues, why did the emperor do this?"

"As long as the emperor doesn't take the initiative to say, how dare we ask and guess," Fang Fan shook his head and said, "I think the reason why the third prince didn't tell me about this is because of the inconvenience of the guard department." ”

Yin Tao couldn't laugh when he heard it, and he couldn't tell Fang Fan the truth, so he could only mutter: "If this is the reason, then I have told you now, doesn't the third prince want to blame me?"

"Don't worry, Lord Yin, I just said that I came here just because I was afraid that the Guards Division would delay the affairs of the Third Prince, and since I already know that your faction is acting on orders, I won't ask more," Fang Fan said, "I have been doing things for the imperial court for more than ten years, so I naturally understand the rules, and many things have come to an end." ”

Seeing that Fang Fan was speaking in an orderly manner and talking to himself, he didn't need Yin Tao to think of countermeasures at all, and in the end he filled the road for him, Yin Tao felt very ironic.

"Since Lord Fang has said so, I am also relieved, I can't hide it, we were still worried about how to investigate before, for fear of causing a misunderstanding by the Guards Division. ”

"It's really a bit of a difference, but I'll make it clear to them when I go back, if there's anything your faction needs my help with, just send someone to find me privately, the third prince is not in the capital, we have to contact you a lot," Fang Fan said, "By the way, what else do we need our guards to do in this matter?"

The alliance was formed in the clouds, and Yintao still didn't react.

"Oh, this matter is actually not a big deal, it's just for us to find out if the emperor is ill," Yintao turned his mind and said, "But Lord Fang is right, since the third prince is not in the capital, then the two of us should contact each other more, so as not to make a mistake, I have already told the Lord just now, and now I want to ask the Lord about something." ”

"What's the matter? If I knew, I would have told me. ”

"Regarding the matter of Xuanyue Gate, is the eldest prince really killed by them?"

"It should be no difference," Fang Fan was really blunt, "There are two personal servants around the eldest prince, who went to the country of Ma Si with him before, and now one is in a different place like the eldest prince, and the other was sent to Lu Wu, according to what the slave said, it was indeed the people of Xuanyuemen who attacked the three of them at that time, and the eldest prince and the other died on the spot, and the slave was rescued by someone and narrowly escaped with his life." ”

"Rescued?" Yintao asked, "Who rescued you?"

"Before he found this person, he took this slave to the door of Lu Wu's house, and left, this slave can't tell the appearance of that person, we have passed the book to the third prince, and he should know about it in two days after tomorrow. ”

Yin Tao pondered for a moment in his heart and said, "Can I go and meet this minion?"
