Although Gao Dehong is good at flattering, he is not completely a fool. At least his speculation this time still makes sense. Lin Nan pondered for a moment, looked up at him and said, "This matter is not a matter of our guess. I am afraid it will be difficult to make a conclusion. I will ask you to find out when I meet my father in person tomorrow."

"It should be like this, and it should be like this. The emperor is wise and decisive and smart, and he will definitely find out the truth." Gao Dehong quickly flattered again.

After holding his fists and leaving, Lin Nan turned around and entered the inner hall, comforted the girls to go to bed, and he also put his clothes on his face and squinted on the collapse.

When he woke up, it was already dawn. After rushing to wash and change his clothes, Lin Nan came to the study room to wait. In less than half an hour, Yang Guang retreated and smiled faintly when he saw Lin Nan, and asked, "Yu'er, I heard how many assassins you killed last night?"

"Yes." Lin Nan asked an An An and said, "The father's holy body is healthy, and the sons did kill several assassins."

"Yeah." Yang Guang nodded and said, "Although you know some skills, as a prince, don't do this in the future if you take risks."

"Yes," Lin Nan replied respectfully: "My son was reckless yesterday and asked his father to sue him."

Yang Guang had a kind face, and he had no intention of blaming him at all. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Since you have fought with the assassin, do you still remember what tricks they used?"

When Lin Nan saw him asking, he didn't dare to speak nonsense. He knew that Yang Guang was very skilled in martial arts, so he demonstrated the scene of fighting with the girl yesterday. However, when he talked about the last sword, he changed his mind and said that it pierced the assassin's chest and killed him.

After hearing him, Yang Guang nodded slightly, was silent for a while, then stood up with Long Ke from behind and looked at him and said, "Yu'er, can you tell that these assassins are using the martial arts sets there?"

Lin Nan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I just think that her sword technique is more feminine but not strong enough, which is far from the Feixian sword technique taught by his father and Empress Zhaoyi." He wanted to get some benefits. However, Yang Guang shook his head and said, "You are still young and don't know much about martial arts. In fact, her sword technique is not general. It's just that the assassin has not practiced well and only learned some basic knowledge."

Lin Nan heard him say this, and became interested for a moment, but Yang Guang continued, "I just saw you depict it. The assassin should be the golden snake sword technique of the Qin family in the Southern Chen family. This set of sword techniques was created by Chen Baxian, a famous general in the Southern Chen. It made it like a poisonous snake. Once it fought with it, it would never stop. However, when the sword score was passed to the Qin family, half of the book was missing, and only those feminine and tangled foreplays were left, but the ruthless backlash attack was lost, so it was not powerful."

"So that's it..." Lin Nan suddenly realized, and then he understood why the woman's sword technique was more feminine but not strong enough. But at the same time, he thought of the Qin family in the South Chen, so he said: "Since my father knew that this was the sword technique passed down by the Qin family in the South Chen, then this incident of assassination in the palace was probably related to Nan Chen."

"Oh..." Yang Guang shook his head and sighed. At this time, Lin Nan said again: "Don't worry too much, Father, the palace guards captured two rebels yesterday. If we could ask some of the reasons from the two of them, we can question Nan Chen.

"Yeah." Yang Guang reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Okay. But those assassins were very stubborn. I heard Qin Huaiyu report that the two assassins were beaten up all night but kept silent. It can be seen that they were all hard bones, and I'm afraid they might not be able to ask anything."

"Hehe..." Lin Nan smiled sinisterly and said, "I have some ways to ask these thieves to say something." He said this, but in fact he was thinking about something to pull out of the girl's mouth.

Unexpectedly, Yang Guang laughed loudly when he heard this. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, then I asked Qin Huaiyu to take you to the Heavenly Prison to meet these thieves."

...

Qin Huaiyu is the chief guard of the palace guards. He is very respectful when he sees Lin Nan on weekdays, so the relationship between them is pretty good. He came to Tianzhuo and walked in the gate. Qin Huaiyu then whispered in Lin Nan's ear: "These two thieves are very stubborn, and they have cut off two whips and have been punished. But even if they refuse to fight to death, they are only half their lives left."

Lin Nan nodded and entered the inner prison.

Xing Jie tied two men with his upper body naked, and was beaten to the point of blood. Both of them were young men in their twenties, but because their hair was scattered and sagging, they could not see their appearance clearly.

"It's really two men." Lin Nan said as he walked up, took the whip and raised the chin of one of the thieves. He saw that he looked pretty good, with fair skin, starry eyes, but his face was covered in scars without blood, and he looked a little dead. When he looked at the other, he saw that his skin was dark, thick lips and thick eyebrows, and his eyes were wide open without fear.

"Let them wake up." Lin Nan turned around and ordered the two guards to pick up a bucket of cold water and pour it on their faces.

The two of them were so excited by the cold water that they suddenly woke up a lot. Seeing that the person who came to the trial was actually a 16 or 17-year-old boy, the black-faced man scolded sternly: "Little bastard, if you want to kill him, you will be not a hero if you frown!" He said this and was determined to die. It seemed that he had suffered all the torture when he saw that he had lived for half a day, so it would be better to die.

Seeing that the guard next to him dared to insult the prince, he shouted boldly and picked up the whip and whipped it. After whipping four whips, the man clenched his teeth without saying a word. At this time, Lin Nan raised his hand to stop the guard's whip, and looked at the man with a cold snorting, saying, "I know you want to die, but before asking the envoy behind the scenes, I'm afraid that death will not be so easy."

The black-faced man snorted coldly, without saying anything, and had suffered all kinds of punishments. He expected that the young man in front of him would not make any new tricks. Unexpectedly, Lin Nan suddenly sneered and looked at Qin Huaiyu and asked, "By the way, I don't know if General Qin had ever heard of 'man slap'."

"Manhun?" Qin Huaiyu frowned slightly. He had not read much martial arts since he was a child, so he didn't know much about this manhun. However, there were guards around him who had read the Records of the Grand Historian, and he still remembered the manhun when he said this manhun.

The black-faced man seemed to have heard of someone who was still as strong as a man, but the fair man next to him couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and then his whole body was a little trembling.

Lin Nan had already noticed the different reactions of the two, and then smiled quietly and said, "The pig is a pig. This guy is a game that turns a human into a pig." Speaking of the word game, he deliberately approached the two of them a little. He said carefully: "To put it bluntly, it is to chop off the limbs and dig out the eyes. Use copper juice to inject it into the ears to make it deaf, then pour it into the throat with dark medicine to cut off the tongue so that it cannot speak, and finally throw it into the pigpen and become a living person."

When he said this, his face smiled. But every word was clear. The plain man looked dark and his body shook, and cold sweat soaked his back. Even the black-faced man couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. When he looked at Lin Nan, he trembled: "You dare..."

"Why don't you dare?" Lin Nan turned to look at Qin Huaiyu and said, "General Qin thought this method was interesting?"

Qin Huaiyu was born in a ranks. Although he had not been through the battle formation for a long time, his hands were covered with blood. However, when he heard about this man's behavior, he couldn't help but feel a little palpitations. This method was too cruel. I don't know how Lin Nan thought it out. After thinking about it, he couldn't help saying, "Your Highness, is it a bit like doing this..." Before he finished speaking, Lin Nan shook his head and said, "No, no, no, these are just small games, and the interesting ones are still behind."

Hearing this, the guards and Qin Huaiyu felt chill all over. If such cruel torture was a small game, then what they had to do later was unimaginable. In fact, even Lin Nan felt a little disgusted, but in order to get the confession of the two, he could only hold back his heart and smile.

The black-faced man didn't expect that the young man was so young and his heart was so vicious that he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. Thinking that he was about to become a man, even the tough guy was a tough guy, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. Lin Nan had already seen both of them. Although the black-faced man had already looked fearful, he might not be able to convince for a while. The white man next to him was so scared that he trembled all over and his face was blue and black. I thought he could have something to pull out of his mouth.

"Come here!" Lin Nan gave the order, and the two guards came out: "Here!"

"Drag this thief to become an adult pig first!" Lin Nan pointed to the fair man, and the two responded, stepped forward and untied him.

"No! No! I don't want to be a human being, kill me!" The fair man shouted at the top of his lungs, and the guards present couldn't help but frown at him. Thinking of his appearance as a human being, he felt a trembling in his heart.

At this time, the black-faced man shouted loudly: "A real man should stand tall and stand tall, but he will die if he dies. What are you afraid of? We will still be a hero in 18 years!"

"What an eighteen years later!" Lin Nan laughed and took the white man out with two guards. Qin Huaiyu looked at the black-faced man in a blink of an eye and waved his hand and said, "Stop fighting for me!"

...

The Miaomiao cigarette rose from the stove, which was the Longyan fragrance with added ingredients, so it smelled like jasmine.

The furnishings in the hall are very luxurious. There are some famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls around them, and many antique vases are placed on the shelf. A bosi carpet at the entrance goes straight into the front of the hall. It seems that it has just been cleaned without a trace of dust.

Lin Nan held a folding fan and sat on the mahogany carved chair with a light shaking. Opposite him, a man in white sat. Although his face was covered with scars, his white skin still showed a scholarly spirit. But now he just put a little on the edge and barely sat on the chair. His face was a little pale and he didn't know where to put his hands, especially the pair of godless eyes, who could not see any light at all.

Bang! Lin Nan closed the folding fan, and the man in white trembled and almost fell to the ground. He looked like a new son-in-law, but there was a look of horror on his face.

"A practitioner is a hero. Since Mr. Guo is a scholar, can't he even understand this principle?" Lin Nan looked at the man with a calm expression, but he had a very good deed of not showing his joy or anger.

The man surnamed Guo looked up at Lin Nan and said submissively: "Thank you for not killing your Highness. Qingyun should repay him with a charity."

Lin Nan felt a cold sigh after hearing this. This kind of villain who is greedy for life and fear of death is the most shameful person, but he has to ask him something for a while, so he can only pretend to be smiling and say, "Young Master Guo is so serious. You can abandon the darkness and surrender to my Great Sui Dynasty. It is a blessing for the Great Sui Dynasty."

"Shame. Ashamed, Your Highness killed the villain." The man bowed his fists, but his heart was full of ups and downs. I wonder if Lin Nan said the forgiveness was true.

How could Lin Nan not know what he meant? In fact, Guo Qingyun was not a person who was greedy for life and feared death. He still had some backbone, but he could bear the pain of ordinary flesh and blood. But the man's punishment was too cruel, so he was shocked and of course the only backbone disappeared. He heard Lin Nan say that he could avoid death, and aroused the hope of life, and became a rat who was completely greedy for life and feared death.

"Don't worry, Mr. Guo. As long as you are willing to tell me about the person behind the scenes, I will report to Emperor Ming to avoid you from dying." Lin Nan gave him another centralization injection, and Guo Qingyun hurriedly thanked him, and then he began to tell the story.

It turned out that Guo Qingyun and the other twenty-two people who entered the palace did not come from Nanchen, but were disciples of the Red Lotus Sect, a cult organization lurking in the Sui Dynasty. The Red Lotus Sect took it as its mission to rebel against the Sui Dynasty and raised dead soldiers. Although there were not many church members, they were all elites. However, although they did not come from Nanchen, their leader Yang You was a descendant of the Great Sui Dynasty and was now ordered to be the royal family of the Southern Chen Dynasty. The purpose of their trip was not to assassinate the emperor, but to steal something - the jade seal of the Kingdom.

The jade seal of the kingdom was a seal passed down by emperors of all dynasties. It is said that it was engraved under the order of Qin Shihuang. It is four inches in a circle. It is connected with five dragons on the top of the neck and is engraved with the eight seal characters "Accepted by heaven, and will live forever" written by Li Si, as a token of "the imperial power is granted by gods, orthodox and legal". Later, emperors of all dynasties all took this seal as a talisman, and regarded it as a rare treasure, and the country's important tools. If you get it, it symbolizes that "the order is received by heaven" and lose it, it shows that the "energy has been exhausted", which prompted those who want to seek great treasures to compete for each other. This seal was also after several changes to the master and finally passed on to the Great Sui Dynasty.

Lin Nan had already understood the whole story after hearing his words, but when he asked where Yang You were now, Guo Qingyun didn't know. The Red Lotus Sect is an extremely strict organization, and the leader Yang You rarely showed up. Many instructions were conveyed by the Dharma protectors in the sect. The Red Lotus Sect has four Dharma protectors in total, but even these four people, Guo Wuchang, had never seen their true faces, just because every time they came to convey the message, they were covered in red and did not show any faces, so they could not see their appearance at all. The only thing that could be sure was that these four Dharma protectors were not men, and as for the rest, they didn't know at all.

Guo Qingyun is just a small culprit in the Red Lotus Sect, and it is not easy to know these things. This is the first time Lin Nan has heard of the title of this cult. However, since their leader was ordered to be from Nanchen, their intention to secretly pass on the imperial seal is self-evident.

Seeing that Guo Qingyun could not ask any useful information, Lin Nan's face suddenly changed, and he shouted coldly: "Come here!" Two guards came in. Seeing that his face changed so quickly, Guo Qingyun knew that he was going to break the bridge, and when he reached out, he had to force Lin Nan to force Lin Nan. However, he didn't expect that his three-legged kung fu skills were really worth mentioning in Lin Nan's eyes. In a blink of an eye, Lin Nan had been restrained and threw it to the guard.

"You little thief, how dare you cross the river and destroy the bridge!" Guo Qingyun didn't care about anything else at this time and shouted at Lin Nan.

Lin Nan looked at him coldly and said disdainfully: "How can I, Da Sui, tolerate such a rat like you who are greedy for life and fear of death? It's a joke." He waved his hand and dragged him back to the death penalty. Guo Qingyun saw that his life was about to be lost in the blink of an eye, but he became a villain again. He was so angry and hatred that he regretted that his intestines were even green.

Lin Nan received Guo Qingyun's confession and hurried to the study room. At this time, Yang Guang was reviewing the memorial. Seeing Lin Nan coming, he looked happy and went forward to greet him in person: "I have been there for a long time now, have you ever asked what you have asked?"

Lin Nan hurriedly said, "Reply to the words of his father, the son minister has been interrogating for a long time, and he uses both soft and hard work. Finally, he draws the truth from an assassin's mouth. It turns out that they are all from the Red Lotus Sect. Their leader was ordered to be from Nanchen. The purpose of this trip was to steal the imperial seal."

"Red Lotus Sect?" Yang Guang seemed not very familiar with this name, so Lin Nan said to Yang Guang every word of Guo Qingyun's confession. When he heard that Yang You was the leader of the Red Lotus Sect, Yang Guang couldn't help but be stunned, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

It was not until Lin Nan finished talking about the whole story that Yang Guang became clear and pondered for a moment: "It seems that this Red Lotus Sect is not as simple as imagined. Yang You is smart and capable, skilled in scheming, and is also a remnant of the rebel party. If you don't eliminate it as soon as possible, you will be afraid of disasters over time."

Lin Nan nodded and said, "What my father said is very true, but I just don't know if this matter has anything to do with Nan Chen."

Yang Guang's face turned cold and he frowned deeply: "It seems that he has to send someone to Nanchen to investigate."

Lin Nan suddenly felt a little active when he heard this. Since his swordsmanship was successful, he had long wanted to do some adventures, but he was a prince, and after all, he was inconvenient to take risks. Seeing that it was an opportunity today, he stepped forward to Yang Guang and said, "My son is not talented, and I am willing to go to Nanchen to investigate this matter."

Yang Guang looked up at him and saw Lin Nan's respectful look, but there was a little excitement between his eyebrows. He couldn't help but frown slightly, then smiled and walked up to help him up and said, "This trip is very dangerous. You are still young and may not be able to take this responsibility. I know that Yuwen Shu's son Yu Wenshu and Su Ling are alert. He is good at speaking, but he is a very suitable candidate. Besides, in half a month it will be my imperial title ceremony. How can you leave the palace easily?"

When Lin Nan heard this, he knew that the matter had failed and replied helplessly. Yang Guang reached out and patted his shoulder, sighed and said, "Okay, let's do this. You will leave the palace in a few days and go to your mansion to see your mother for more days. She often talks about you in my ears."

"Yes." Lin Nan lowered his head and responded. Since he had a bedroom, he rarely went to see his mother. Speaking of which, although Jiang Xian is his mother in this life, the relationship between the two is not deep, but even so, he should take the time to see his mother.

...

A wonderful person who was like a rouge appeared in the bronze mirror. She was wearing a slightly wider bright red silk brocade palace outfit and a bright crown on her head. Her eyes were filled with wavy waves, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, but there was a hint of melancholy under the endless charm.

"Empress, Empress!" A palace maid outside the hall hurriedly ran into the hall. The woman gently pushed open the mirror and looked at the door and asked, "What's so panicked?" The girl stood there respectfully. She lowered her head and said, "Report to Empress, the Fifteenth Palace is coming down."

"Yu'er is here!" The woman stood up suddenly, her eyes full of divine light. At this time, a young man had turned into the hall gate and said respectfully: "Son-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-

"Get up quickly, get up quickly, let your mother see." Jiang Xian ran over and helped Lin Nanzai up with both hands and looked at her carefully. Looking at the woman in front of her, it was difficult for Lin Nan to compare her with a woman in her forties. Whether it was her fair skin or her soft eyes as soft as water, it made people inadvertently forget her age.

"Yu'er seems to have lost weight." Jiang Xian gently pressed Lin Nan's shoulder and touched his face and said kindly.

Lin Nan smiled slightly and replied, "Ten years have passed, and the mother is still so beautiful."

Jiang Xian smiled softly and looked at him and said, "You will be kind enough to please your mother."

"I'm just telling the truth there. Even my father said that my mother is as beautiful as ten years ago." Lin Nan smiled again.

Hearing the word "Father Emperor", Jiang Xian shook his head gently and sighed: "Your father has never been to the mother's place in one day."

Seeing her sadness, Lin Nan hurriedly comforted her: "The father is busy with all his life and works hard for state affairs, so don't blame his mother."

When Jiang Xian saw Lin Nan, she was in a much better mood, so she stopped thinking about this and hurriedly ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a table of dishes that Lin Nan liked. The mother and son had lunch together.

After the meal, they handed over the tea and the two of them chatted about it. It was almost time to gossip when Lin Nan came out of Yikun Palace.

At this time, Lin Nan remembered the girl in the Forbidden Garden again, and didn't know what to do. In fact, even he didn't know why he wanted to save her, but now he wanted to hand her over, and he was reluctant to let her go. Besides, he couldn't hand over again, and staying behind was a burden. He couldn't hide her in the palace all the time, right? Lin Nan thought about it, but after a while, he was upset and secretly walked towards the Forbidden Garden. Seeing that no one around saw her, he turned over and jumped into the yard and quickly ran towards the inner hall.

Lin Nan pointed the seven major holes around her body and lay on the collapse and couldn't move. However, because she had been resting for half a day, her mind was still clear, but because she lost too much blood, her body was a little weak, and her wounds were also a little painful.

"Beauty, how are you sleeping well that night?" Lin Nan sat gently on the soft collapse, and looked like a disciple, stretched out his hand to untied her mute hole.

"Shameless, despicable, vulgar!" Seeing that she had unlocked her mute hole, the girl immediately glared at her and cursed sternly.

Lin Nan curled his lips and said, "I knew I would scold you, but I didn't expect it to scold you so hard."

When the girl saw him saying this, she felt bitter in her heart, tears fell down her mouth, and she said, "I want to kill you, I must kill you!"

"Even when I was crying, I thought about killing me? Am I that bad? Don't forget, I am your savior." Lin Nan said helplessly.

"I don't need you to save me. Kill me quickly, kill me quickly!" The girl became more and more sad as she cried. It seemed that the crabapple was carrying rain. She couldn't stop for a while.
To be continued...
