Qiu Yuebai opened the cloth, and there was a little ashes inside. Qiu Yuebai flipped it back and forth with his fingers for a long time and then tried it himself before saying: "The name of this thing is rosemary. It is a spice unique to Nanling. It is highly sought after by Nanling women. This is not common in Luoyun, where did the princess get it?"

"It's just a coincidence."

Ye Yun said casually, thinking of the human skin mask just now, a hint of interest aroused in the corner of his mouth, it was really a good show!

However, Pingbai involved her and cost the original owner his life. How can this account be settled?

"The time is almost up, it's time to find the real culprit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yun raised his feet and walked out. Qiu Yuebai didn't know what Ye Yun's plan was, so he had to follow behind him with the medicine box.

Coming out of the side hall, Ye Yun whispered a few instructions to the two forbidden soldiers, and then took Qiu Yuebai to the main hall.

Everyone who had been waiting in the main hall for nearly an hour saw Ye Yun come in and immediately turned to look at her.

"Eldest Princess, have you caught the real culprit?" Eunuch Dou asked impatiently.

"Never." Ye Yun shook his head.

"There is only one stick of incense left in one hour. Princess, you have to hurry up." Eunuch Dou said eagerly.

"My father-in-law, please be patient." Ye Yun smiled and said, "Just watch with peace of mind."

After a while, the imperial army entered the main hall with more than ten eunuchs and everyone knelt down to salute in unison.

"I have seen the emperor." Everyone said in unison.

Yu Wenyong glanced at Yu Wenyun and said, "What's going on?"

"Father, it was my son who asked them to come."

After hearing this, Yu Wenyong said slowly: "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up and quickly stood up, lowering their heads and holding their breath, not daring to make any noise for fear of disturbing the holy driver and being beaten to death with random sticks.

Seeing this, Ye Yun curled up his lips, crossed his arms and walked among the crowd. When he came to a Nanling follower, Ye Yun stopped and walked around the person with interest, and then asked :"May I have your name."

"Back to the eldest princess, the villain Xiao Shi."

"Oh? I wonder which master you work for?"

"Back to the princess, I am a follower sent by Lord Wu to protect the third prince."

"So you know how to use martial arts?"

"What on earth is the eldest princess suspecting? Xiao Shi is the personal guard of the foreign minister, and there is no way he would do such a treacherous thing!" Behind him, Wu Yuandao said angrily.

Ignoring Wu Yuandao, Ye Yun just looked at Xiao Shi with a smile, as if he must answer in person.

Under Ye Yun's pressure, Xiao Shi whispered: "The villain knows some skills."

"I like martial arts the most. I wonder what weapons Xiao Shi used in the past?"

Xiao Shi lowered his head with a hint of impatience in his eyes, and then replied: "Back to the eldest princess, I have been using a sword since I was a child."

"Sword, I like it too." Ye Yun's eyes moved to Xiao Shi's palm and exclaimed: "Ah, this hand is so beautiful." Then he grabbed Xiao Shi's hand with lightning speed and took a closer look. A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It's just that this hand doesn't look like the hand that held the sword at all... Are you right? Nan Ling San! Emperor! Prince!"

Things happened so fast that everyone was shocked by the last few words Ye Yun uttered before they could even react!

"What did the eldest princess say? Isn't the third prince of Nanling dead?" Ji Liang, the minister of Dali Temple, asked everyone's question.

"Your Majesty is right, the third prince is dead, the princess is joking." Xiao Shi lowered his head and quickly took two steps back, trying to keep a distance from Ye Yun, but he forgot that his hand was still being held by Ye Yun.

At this moment, Ye Yun suddenly got angry and pulled hard. Xiao Shi staggered towards Ye Yun. Just when the two were about to collide, Ye Yun quickly touched the side of Xiao Shi's face and stretched out his hand. Xiao Shi felt his face As soon as it cooled down, the human skin mask on his face was in Ye Yun's hands.

Ye Yun shook the thin human skin mask in his hand and his tone suddenly turned cold: "When the third prince comes back from the dead, shouldn't he give me, Luoyun, an explanation, and give me an explanation?"

The sudden turn of events caught the Nanling envoy off guard. They originally wanted to rely on the death of the third prince to get Luoyun to send troops unconditionally. But now it's good. The third prince pretending to die is a small thing, but not being able to borrow troops is a big deal!

"Should the three envoys give me an explanation?" Yu Wenyong's tone was low and calm, which frightened the three envoys of Nanling and quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"I will personally prepare a letter about this matter and send it to Nanling. Before the matter is resolved, the third prince can stay in the posthouse with peace of mind. Someone come!"

Shen Kuo, the commander of the imperial army, came in from outside: "I'm here!"

"The third prince must have been frightened a lot just after he came back from the dead. During this period, you will lead the imperial army to protect the safety of the third prince and the Nanling envoys."

"Wei Chen, take your orders!" Shen Kuo stood up, walked to Rong Yan and said, "I will escort the third prince out of the palace. Third prince, please!"

Rong Yan glanced at Ye Yun with a sullen face, shook his head and left. Rong Yan's move scared the Nanling envoys to a cold sweat. He was deeply afraid that Yu Wenyong would kill them on the spot if he was unhappy. After all, Luoyun's troops were far superior to Nanling, and besides Luoyun also has a mighty tiger army that is victorious in every battle!

"Foreign minister, please retire!" After saluting cautiously, the three of them hurriedly caught up with Rong Yan.

After the matter was settled, Yu Wenyong glanced at Eunuch Dou, who hurriedly dismissed everyone and retreated, leaving only Ye Yun, Ji Liang, and Guo Huai in the palace.
