Gu Hanzhang thought as he walked, and suddenly found that there were a lot of burning eyes around him.

Slightly retracting his mind, he listened to the whispered discussion.

"Wow, do you see? This is the son of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion of Daqi, if he really looks like a talent, I envy His Royal Highness. ”

"That's not it, Your Royal Highness is really blessed, to be able to get such an outstanding man as a man, so envious!"

"You all keep quiet, don't scare the son, men are more fragile, I don't think the son of the world is very strong."

"Okay, hurry up, I didn't see Shizi slow down, shouldn't I hear it?"

There was a sudden silence all around, followed by sparse sounds.

Soon, several palace maids scattered and left.

Gu Hanzhang just glanced at it slightly, then withdrew his gaze and continued to walk in the direction of going back.

After a while, Gu Hanzhang returned to his residence, Fang Huimin was no longer here, and he should go back to rest.

"Hanzhang is back, what is the matter with grandmother looking for you?" Chao Li asked.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I was asked to find the person who killed my grandfather." Gu Hanzhang replied.

Chao Li pondered for a moment, as if wondering why the empress would hand over this matter to Gu Hanzhang to investigate.

It stands to reason that Gu Hanzhang is not familiar with life in Xilin, even if he is wise, it is still very difficult to reach out in Xilin.

After all, Xilin is not Gu Hanzhang's territory, and the strong dragon can't suppress the ground snake.

"You promised? But why did your grandmother let you find out, aren't these things easier for people from the west to find out? Chao Li frowned and looked at Gu Hanzhang and asked, "Could it be that this matter is a test for your grandmother, and she did it on purpose?" Obviously, it may not take long for her to find out by herself, but if you come, I'm afraid it will increase the difficulty. ”

Gu Hanzhang was not surprised that Chao Li could think of this layer, he already knew how smart his wife was.

Immediately, Gu Hanzhang drew a shallow arc.

"Madame don't have to worry, I'll take care of it, since it's the empress's test for me, I'm going to take it. If she can't handle this matter well, how can she trust you to me? Gu Hanzhang spoke gently.

Hearing Gu Hanzhang say this, Chao Li relaxed slightly.

Also, Gu Hanzhang never needs to worry about anyone, but she cares about it, according to Gu Hanzhang's wisdom, even after a few years, he can find out who attacked Ye Rin.

Moreover, starting from the Heart Devouring Gu and tracing back to the source, it must not be too difficult.

"Well, if you are in any trouble, go to your grandmother. The task she's given you is sure to make sure you'll be able to find those things, and that's not to worry. Chao Li nodded.

Gu Hanzhang pursed his lips and looked at Chao Li, who was in thought, he wanted to tell her something, but he didn't know how to speak.

In the end, I had to give up and swallow the words in my heart.

It's not that he doesn't believe Chaoli, or he deliberately conceals it, but it involves the empress, Gu Hanzhang doesn't want Chaoli to think that he is targeting her, so he still plans to wait for Chaoli to find out by himself.

I didn't see some of the empress's plans, not that Chaoli was not smart enough, but that she didn't know enough about imperial power, and that her feelings for the empress's grandmother were too rational now.

In this regard, Gu Hanzhang didn't feel anything, anyway, everything was with him.

The two talked for a while, and then it was time for dinner.

Originally, Chaoli was going to have a meal in the palace, but there was news from the empress that there would be a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust today, and she would have a meal with her own people, which was also to let everyone know each other.

Therefore, Chaoli had to wait for a while, and then pass when the time came.

At the same time, in the front hall of Prince Gong's mansion outside the palace, a middle-aged man in a cyan python robe sat on the top.

Below him, it was as if kneeling was a bloodstained Long Lin.

He had already returned to men's clothes, his face was very ugly, and he looked extremely weak, so white that he seemed to die in the next moment.

The middle-aged man at the top looked noble, but he was in his early thirties, and his body was full of nobility.

The man's face was expressionless, he reached out to pick up the tea on the table, took a sip and put it down, and then his gaze fell on Long Lin's body like charity.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

Long Lin moved slightly, his chest and abdomen seemed to be burning, and the fishy sweetness in his throat was almost unbearable, and finally a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Dare to ask my father, what is wrong with me?" Long Lin said coldly.

The man sitting at the top was none other than Long Lin's father, Prince Gong, the empress's nephew.

In fact, Prince Gong's age is almost forty years old, but he just looks young, and he is well maintained.

Prince Gong's eyes were still indifferent, "What's wrong still needs to be told by this king, then you really lived in vain." This king asks you, why don't you send the news of the eldest princess back, and get mixed with the empress's people. Do you think that you have grown up and your wings are stiff, and this king can't control you? ”

Long Lin stiffened his neck, "The empress is the emperor of the west, and she is my elder, so I should do things for her." And I have done what you have commanded, and I have taken back a lot of money, which you cannot deny. As for my aunt, I didn't know about it beforehand, so I can't blame it. What's more, they didn't believe me that much, I didn't know my aunt's traces, and she wasn't with me anyway. ”

Hearing this, Prince Gong suddenly smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Long Lin, it's true that you are the son of this king, but you are not the only son, don't you think this king will not dare to kill you? Or do you think that your actions in Daqi are really unknown to this king? You're not afraid of death, but don't forget, isn't your mother's family afraid of death either? Prince Gong spoke quietly.

Long Lin was dumbfounded, "What do you want to do!" ”

Regarding Long Lin's anger, Prince Gong didn't pay attention to it at all, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.

Perhaps in Prince Gong's eyes, Long Lin never had the slightest threat to him.

"Who can stop you from what this king is going to do? Long Lin, acquaintance, just be smart, the people of your mother's family still expect this king to stay alive. ”

As he spoke, Prince Gong suddenly stood up, slowly walked in front of Long Lin, bowed slightly, and reached out to lift Long Lin's chin.

"Tsk, how do you look at it, it's still a little similar to this king, if you can, this king doesn't want to kill you, let alone turn against you. If you wait for this king to be the emperor, you are also a prince, even if you can't inherit the unification, no matter how bad you are, you are still a prince, don't you enjoy the glory and wealth? Why do you have to fight against this king? ”

After speaking, Prince Gong also wiped the blood from the corner of Long Lin's mouth, and took out the silk handkerchief in his sleeve to wipe it gently.
