Son, he doesn't want to divorce

Gu Hanzhang was thinking as he walked, and suddenly found a lot of burning eyes around him.

He calmed down slightly and listened to the whispered discussion.

"Wow, have you seen it? This is the crown prince of Da Qi's Zhenbei Hou Mansion. He is really a talented person. I envy His Highness so much."

"That's not true. Your Highness is so lucky to have such an outstanding man as your husband. I'm so envious!"

"You all should keep your voices down, and don't scare the prince. Men are relatively fragile. I don't think the prince's body is very strong."

"Okay, let's go quickly. I didn't see the prince slowing down. Could it be that he heard it?"

There was suddenly silence all around, followed by sparse sounds.

Soon, several palace ladies scattered and left.

Gu Hanzhang just glanced briefly and then withdrew his gaze and continued walking back.

Not long after, Gu Hanzhang returned to his residence. Fang Huimin was no longer here and must have gone back to rest.

"Hanzhang is back. Why does grandma want to see you?" Chaoli asked.

"It's not a big deal, it's just asking me to find the person who killed my grandfather." Gu Hanzhang replied.

Chaoli pondered for a moment, seeming to be wondering why the Queen would leave this matter to Gu Hanzhang to investigate.

Logically speaking, Gu Hanzhang was unfamiliar with the place in Xilin. Even if he was extremely wise, it would still be difficult for him to reach out to Xilin.

After all, Xilin was not Gu Hanzhang's territory, and a powerful dragon could not overpower a local snake.

"You agreed? But why did grandma ask you to investigate? Aren't these things easier to find out for people in Xilin?" Chaoli frowned and looked at Gu Hanzhang and asked, "Is this a test from grandma to you? She did it on purpose. Why? Obviously it won't take long for her to find out by herself, but asking you to come is probably going to make it more difficult."

Gu Hanzhang was not surprised that Chaoli could think of this. He had long known how smart his wife was.

Immediately, Gu Hanzhang evoked a slight arc.

"Madam, don't worry, I will handle it well. Since it is the Queen's test for me, I will accept it. If she cannot handle this matter well, how can she trust you to me?" Gu Hanzhang said gently.

Hearing what Gu Hanzhang said, Chaoli felt slightly relieved.

That's right, Gu Hanzhang never needs anyone to worry about, but she is confused when she cares about her. According to Gu Hanzhang's wisdom, even after a few years, he can find out who attacked Ye Lin.

Furthermore, starting from the Heart-Eating Gu, tracing back to the source must not be too difficult.

"Okay, if you run into any trouble, just go find grandma. The task she has set for you will definitely ensure that you can find those things, so there is no need to worry." Chaoli nodded.

Gu Hanzhang pursed his lips and looked at Chaoli who was lost in thought. He wanted to tell her something, but he didn't know how to say it.

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

It wasn't that he didn't believe Chaoli, or that he was deliberately concealing it, but when it came to the Queen, Gu Hanzhang didn't want Chaoli to think he was targeting her, so he still planned to wait for Chaoli to find out on his own.

The failure to see some of the Queen's plans was not because Chaoli was not smart enough, but because she did not understand the imperial power well enough, and her current feelings for the Queen, a grandmother, were too rational.Gu Hanzhang didn't think anything about this. Anyway, he was there for everything.

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

Chaoli originally planned to have a meal in the palace, but news came from the Queen that a reception banquet would be held today, and he would have a meal together to let everyone get to know each other.

Therefore, Chaoli had to wait for a while and go there at about the same time.

At the same time, in the front hall of Prince Gong's mansion outside the palace, a middle-aged man wearing a blue python robe sat at the head.

Beneath him, Long Lin, who was covered in blood, was kneeling.

He had resumed his men's clothing and was wearing underwear. His face was very ugly. He looked extremely weak and pale, as if he would die in the next moment.

The middle-aged man above him looked dignified, but he looked like he was in his early thirties, and his whole body was filled with aura of nobility.

The man had no expression on his face. He reached out to pick up the tea on the table, took a sip and then put it down. Then he cast his gaze on Long Lin like a charity.

"You know what's wrong?"

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

"May I ask my father, what did I do wrong?" Long Lin said coldly.

The man sitting above him was none other than Long Lin's father, Prince Gong, the nephew of Queen Xilin.

In fact, Prince Gong is almost 40 years old. He just looks young, and he is well-maintained.

Prince Gong's eyes remained indifferent, "If you still need me to tell you where you went wrong, then your life has been in vain. I ask you why you didn't send back the news about the eldest princess, and why you got involved with the queen's people. Do you think you’ve grown up and your wings have hardened, so I can’t control you?”

Long Lin frowned, "The Queen is the emperor of Xilin and my elder. I should do things for her. And I have done what you asked me to do and got back a lot of money. You can't do this." Deny. As for my aunt, I didn’t know about it beforehand, so you can’t blame me. What’s more, they didn’t believe me that much. I didn’t know where my aunt was, 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 my son, but you are not my only son. Do you think that I don't dare to kill you? Or do you think that I really don't know anything about your actions in Daqi? ? You are not afraid of death, but don’t forget, aren’t your mother’s family also afraid of death?” Prince Gong said quietly.

Long Lin's eyes were wide open, "What do you want to do!"

Prince Gong paid no attention to Long Lin's anger and didn't even raise his eyelids.

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

"Who can stop what this king wants to do, you? Long Lin, you should be wise. People in your mother's family still hope that this king will survive."

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

"Tsk, tsk, you are still somewhat similar to me. If possible, I don't want to kill you, let alone fall out with you. If you wait for me to become emperor, you will also be a prince. Even if you can't inherit the throne, you won't be able to inherit the throne. After all, he is also a prince. Why not enjoy the glory and wealth? Why do you have to go against me?"

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