"Is this dead?"

Looking at Lu Bingde, whose breath was getting weaker on the ground, Nian Fan naturally knew that Li Huan was not lying.

But he was a little difficult to accept such a result.

However, Li Huan's next sentence immediately made him feel refreshed.

"But I found some important information before Lu Bingde's soul collapsed and dissipated."

Li Huan took back the fingers that were on the other party's eyebrows and looked at Lu Bingde, who had completely lost his life expressionlessly.

As a mortal, Lu Bingde's soul is undoubtedly fragile.

At the moment when the soul restraint is triggered.

His soul collapsed and collapsed in an instant.

Perhaps because of the long-awaited relationship, Li Huan still found some key information from Lu Bingde's collapsed soul fragments.

for example.

The fourth prince seemed to rely heavily on his advice.

But in fact, the matters discussed with each other are often related to the court.

Especially after the prince's death.

Lu Bingde has been helping the fourth prince secretly win over the court officials who once loyal to the prince, thus gradually strengthening the fourth prince's influence in the court. Basically, in addition to the chief grandson, the fourth prince has become a factional force that cannot be ignored in the court.

But on the heir to the throne.

The Chief Grand Secretary, but he is willing to have a marriage relationship with him, the Ninth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince.

In other words.

If the fourth prince wants to control the court, then the fourth prince must face this mature and influential chief grandson.

Lu Bingde's task is to compete with the Chief Grand Secretary for the power to control the court.

After all, in terms of the investigation of the heirs of the throne.

Whether the heirs can control and consolidate the court is also a very important indicator of investigation.

Emperor.

If even the court cannot be controlled and stable.

This emperor is obviously unqualified.

The fourth prince chose to support Lu Bingde back then, not because he had long coveted the throne. You should know that the crown prince was not dead at that time, and no one could shake his heir position except the emperor. Moreover, the fourth prince, who is the brothers and sisters of the crown prince, is still the other party's most trustworthy right-hand man.

therefore.

The Fourth Prince's support for Lu Bingde may largely be due to the instructions of the prince.

The reason? It is nothing more than recruiting more talents for the prince, and gradually spreading his own people throughout the court in the future, so as to achieve the goal of controlling and stabilizing the court.

Does Lu Bingde know?

He must have known it in his heart, but he chose to hold the fourth prince's thigh tightly.

Lu Bingde's choice is not difficult to understand.

On the one hand, I am grateful to the fourth prince for his kindness, and on the other hand, I am too many talents on the prince.

Even if he defected to the prince, he might not be able to be reused.

With the idea of ​​rather than having a chicken head for a phoenix tail, it seems natural to choose the Fourth Prince as his backer.

only--

I spent all these years with the Fourth Prince.

He inevitably noticed some of the secrets of the Fourth Prince.

The fourth prince with the talent for cultivation is keen on cultivation, but unlike the third prince and the well-known and keen on cultivation, the fourth prince has never shown this.

There is no hope for the throne, and the heart is for immortality.

This is a normal situation.

But what is abnormal is why the Fourth Prince chose to practice secretly?

Perhaps it is because of cultivation.

The fourth princes all respected the offerings in the mansion very much, and Liu Daozhen, who was born in Taihua Sect.

Often after Lu Bingde discusses with the fourth prince, he leaves, the fourth prince will go to find Liu Daozhen to ask questions about cultivation.

In addition to practice.

Lu Bingde also suspected something.

A secret that is shocking.

The Fourth Prince is not good at female sex, which is well known both inside and outside the court.

The problem is.

The fourth prince has never taken concubines since he got married. The most important thing is that the prince's concubine has not given birth to children so far, and the fourth prince rarely stays at the prince's concubines.

Regarding the issue of giving birth to a prince's concubine.

The royal family also investigated privately, and the results showed that the prince's concubine was physically ill, so she was unable to have children.

For this reason, people from the royal family have suggested that if the fourth prince wants descendants, it is best to take a concubine.

But the fourth prince refused.

He said that there are many members of the royal family, and there are not many descendants of his own, and there are not many fewer ones, not to mention that he has no intention of this.

At first, Lu Bingde also thought that the fourth prince was just not interested in women.

Later he discovered some clues.

The Fourth Prince—

There may be something wrong with his sexual orientation.

To be precise.

He likes men.

Unfortunately, Lu Bingde did not have conclusive evidence to confirm this, and he did not have the courage to continue speculation.

"Brother Huan, are you sure that these situations were all found in Lu Bingde's soul?"

After Li Huan informed Nian Fan of his soul search results.

Nian Fan became stunned.

"Yes."

Li Huan said concisely.

"The Fourth Prince likes men? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it will be fun once this kind of thing is promoted."

Nian Fan couldn't help but smack his lips, and his face still felt a little incredible.

"But what basis does Lu Bingde have to judge that the fourth prince likes men? Not liking women does not mean that the fourth prince likes men!"

"Because Lu Bingde discovered that the fourth prince, the prince, and even his steward Su Chang had ambiguous behavior that exceeded brotherly friendship in his words and deeds."

Li Huan said indifferently.

"...My mind is a little confused, I may need to sort it out."

Nian Fan immediately took a breath of cold air when he heard this.

He once heard a sentence.

The dirtiest place in the world is the palace.

It seems now.

This sentence is really correct.

Especially these royal people are so good at playing?

It is not uncommon for men to like men.

It’s not unfamiliar to Nian Fan, who is knowledgeable.

But it is not easy to happen to the fourth prince. If you think of the death of the crown prince, the third prince, and the chief grandson, it is even more difficult.

"Do you Demon Suppressing the Demons know about this?"

a long time.

Nian Fan, who calmed down, suddenly thought of it.

"When it comes to the secrets of the royal family, do you think our Demon Suppressing Department will know?"

Li Huan glanced at Nian Fandao.
