Gongqing bone

If Du Heng knew what Concubine Long said, she would have been taken aback for a moment, and had to use all her strength to refute her.

Concubine Long's logic is very shameless, but there are always two points of fallacy——

In the end, the little eunuch's face was ashen and he stopped talking.

Concubine Long Gui saw that he really didn't know much, so she was dragged down impatiently and skinned, she did what she said.

"Wait a minute!—" the little eunuch hurriedly yelled, "Let me die as a fool!"

The guard looked at Concubine Long's face——

"Since that's the case, let's ask~" the imperial concubine Shi Shiran said.

"You..." Concubine Long glanced sideways——

Instinctively, the little eunuch trembled twice in fright, and was forced to change his words under the pressure of the imperial concubine——

"How...how did you guess that the eunuchs in the palace are the eunuchs of the Tenth Prince?"

Concubine Long flicked a bit of rouge under her fingernails, "No matter how stupid Zhou Yan is, he knew he was going to rebel at night, so he chose a night like splashing ink on the first day of junior high school; did he bribe the eunuchs? Let's see the eunuchs who are in charge of candles and lighting." It is very clear whether they have touched their hands or feet..."

Oh, I have to thank Du Heng~
After Concubine Long Gui answered his questions, the little eunuch finally knelt down powerlessly on the ground, allowing the guards to drag him out.

"Peel off his skin to make a lantern, so that everyone in the forbidden palace can see clearly, clearly, clearly, clearly—"

Although Concubine Long's words were light, the content in them was creepy. The other eunuchs who promised the tenth prince Zhou Yan to be the internal response would not end well.

On the one hand, she used the method of "making lanterns" to punish those eunuchs who "turned off the lights" for the ten princes, and on the other hand, it was to deter those palace people who dared to have two hearts in the palace, so as to achieve the purpose of killing everyone...

***
On the night two days ago, Du Heng took advantage of the moonlight and came to the Prince's East Palace.

When she escaped the guards of the Prince's East Palace, she stopped behind a large lake stone in the back garden of the East Palace.

She can avoid the servants in the mansion, but she will never get close to the prince who is secretly guarding the environment.

She watched coldly as the crown prince was pacing back and forth with a book under the wisteria trellis, and several counselors stood with their hands hanging down like stars.

Even outside, bright joss sticks are lit, and refreshments are available under the candlelight.

Although he looked a little anxious, but from a distance, he seemed to be just annoyed about where the sunspots on the torreya chessboard in front of him should fall, or why this year's Yuqian Longjing didn't arrive until May...

Even if it is an urgent family and country matter, if it is done by the prince, it must always have such a "romantic" feeling;

In his opinion, the sorrow brought by the smoke of war can only be compared with the pain and poignancy of the tender and beautiful flower buds when the petals are scorched and curled up.

But there is also an advantage, the prince has soft hands and soft ears, so he will definitely not become the "lord of Jie and Zhou" like Concubine Long.

After Du Heng walked out of the lake stone, he continued to move forward under the scolding and threats of "Who is it?!", "One more step forward, and you will be killed!", not paying attention to the faint light reflected by the white blade——

"Hey~" The prince raised his hand to block the sharp blade in the guard's hand: "It's just a little girl, can I still kill Ben Gong in front of you?"

But when Du Heng walked up to him, he sized him up from head to toe, and showed disappointment undisguised: "Miss, you'd better have something urgent to do when you come to the East Palace late at night, otherwise... "

"Is the safety of His Majesty the grandson considered urgent? Is it urgent that the third and tenth princes of the Zhou family cross the orthodox line? Is it urgent that Beiyan is ready to reap the benefits of a fisherman?—"

Du Heng dropped three blockbuster bombs in one breath, and the shocked prince and his counselors were speechless for a long while.

After the advisors looked around at each other, they all turned their attention to the prince. Presumably they all had the same idea——

The prince also has a vague idea, they are just waiting for him to give an order...

Du Heng also straightened his sleeves that were stained by overturning the wall, planning to sit down and have a face-to-face talk with the prince later...

That being the case—

"Where did you get the crazy woman! Hurry up and get out!—" The prince even took two steps back and threw the book on the stone table, making the commanding order look more majestic...

Du Heng: "..."

Counselors: "..."

"Wait a minute!—" One of the brown-clothed and seemingly oldest counselors stopped the guards who were about to come forward to arrest Du Heng, and whispered in the prince's ear:

"Your Highness, although this woman's whereabouts are strange and a mystery, there are traces of what she said after careful consideration; and the three points she raised are clearly interlocking... Let's listen to her first." How?—

If it's really her talking nonsense, it's not too late to rush! -"

The prince felt that he was a bit embarrassed, but he still put on the majesty of a prince of a country, flicked his sleeves and turned his back to Du Heng: "In that case, let's talk about it..."

The prince's words were so out of point that the counselors around him were also very anxious. One of them couldn't help but ask:

"Girl, may I ask why you asked the three questions above?

Although His Highness Taisun was involved in danger, it was also a natural disaster. According to you, could it be a man-made disaster? -"

That's right.It was a "man-made disaster" plotted by the tenth prince Zhou Yan, and Xue Feibai would further make Zhou Xian stay in Guihua City forever.

"The rivalry between the third prince and the tenth prince has already emerged, which is why His Royal Highness chose not to fight for the edge; but what you mean is that their struggle has reached a feverish level? Could it be that this time the naturalized earthquake, too? Sun Yudan, is he already a pawn in the chess game?—”

That's right.These counselors of the prince are very thorough, and they are quite strategic.

Du Heng squinted his eyes and looked at these people carefully—some were recommended by his grandfather, and some were recruited by Xue Feiqing, Zhou Xian and his brother himself.The prince still has the advantage of listening to people's advice.

"As for the third appalling question the girl said... we are really puzzled:
If it is said that the first two reasons lead to the third conclusion, it does make sense; but if the first two are only based on the girl's "no evidence" guess, is the third a bit arbitrary and far-fetched? ? ..."

No, that's a pretty sure thing.

It is also precisely because of Zhou Yan's "desperate risk" that she strung together pearl-like clues scattered all over the place, and when these pearls are worn into a necklace, it will become Da Zhou, the "neglect of exercise". "The noose around the neck of the "lady" gave her a fatal blow—

And in this silent game, it was Xue Feibai who acted as the pawn in the needle.

And Xue Feibai, Beiyan's son Tantaishao, is also true.
