in the Royal Palace

The gold bricks in the main hall are paved, the cloud top sandalwood is used as a beam, the crystal jade is the lamp, and the nine gold pillars carved with the dragon flying nine days are the pillar base.

On the throne of the golden lacquer carved dragon in the hall, there is a king who looks down on the world. At this time, Chu Hengjue was holding a black paper in his hand and looked at it with a serious face.

Below, in addition to Li Mugong standing respectfully, there was also a man in black clothes, black hat and black mask who also knelt on one knee, bowing his head silently.

The spacious hall was quiet, so quiet that only Chu Hengjue's slight breathing could be heard.

In the middle of the night, Chu Hengjue lowered his eyes, handed the paper in his hand to the candle shade next to the table, and the slight crackling sound of the candle flame beating looked a little strange in the quiet hall.

"What else does the Southern Hades King say?" Chu Hengjue's deep voice sounded.

"Back to the emperor, the prince didn't let his subordinates talk!" the man in black replied truthfully in a hoarse voice.

"Got it, you can step down! Since Ye Ming said that everything is ready, you can rest for the night and set off tomorrow!" Chu Hengjue waved his hand, he had read the private message brought by Lan Ye Ming, which clearly wrote the current border situation. No need to ask.

"Yes!" the man in black bowed respectfully and exited the hall.

Chu Hengjue stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of paper at random and opened it, looked at it for a long time, reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, Li Mu below hurriedly took a few steps behind Chu Hengjue, and stretched out his hand to gently rub Chu Hengjue's shoulders while smiling and comforting.

"The emperor may be at ease now, with our Southern Hades Lord personally going out on the expedition, what else can't be solved!"

When Chu Hengjue heard this, while enjoying Li Mu's service, he nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction on his face.

"Well, there is a night in the night, I am naturally 100,000 relieved!It's just ......"

Chu Hengjue closed the fold, tilted his head slightly, as if asking Li Mu, and said to himself: "You say, why did Ye Ming suddenly ask me for an order this time to personally lead the troops to the battle?"

"Ahh How does the old slave know the prince's thoughts?" Li Mu was stunned and replied with a weak smile.

"Smack", the music in Chu Hengjue's hand fell on Li Mu's head, and he shouted in a disfigured voice: "I don't know, can't I guess?

"Yes, yes!" the old slave thought...... The prince must want to share the pressure for the emperor!" Li Mu rubbed his head and continued to answer while massaging.

As soon as the words fell, he saw Chu Hengjue glance at him and said a word coldly.

"You watched him grow up, do you think that stinky boy would have such a good heart?"

"Ahem, ahem...... Prince, the prince is still very filial to the emperor. Li Mu smiled, what did he dare to say, although his master was picky about the prince of the underworld, in fact, he favored the prince the most in his heart, as a personal eunuch, he could say with certainty that in the entire capital, I am afraid that there is no prince who can compare to this king of the southern underworld.

"But this time this stinky boy has really solved a big problem for me!" Chu Hengjue thought of this, with a long-lost smile on his face, and while motioning for Li Mu to knead it with his hand, he said with relief: "Originally, the general of this expedition I planned to order Bian Cheng's Xiao family to go, although I was not very sure, but at least I was more relieved than others, but I didn't expect this stinky boy to know the general situation and go out in person, and I didn't hurt him in vain!"

"Yes, yes, the Hades Lord is still very considerate of the emperor!" Li Mu's old face turned into a flower and responded.

Just as Chu Hengjue's master and servant were in a good mood talking in the main hall, outside the main hall, a woman in palace clothes walked slowly from not far away.

"Meet the Fifth Princess!" the guards outside the main hall bowed down.

"Father, can the emperor?" Chu Ling'er glanced at the latter and asked nonchalantly.

"Yes!"

"Hurry up and report, just say that this princess is here and wants to see her father!" Chu Ling'er happily glanced at the food box in her hand and instructed.

"Princess, please wait!"

After a while, Chu Ling'er appeared in the hall with a food box.

"Ling'er greets his father!" Chu Ling'er smiled and saluted Chu Hengjue above the main hall.

The latter was also in a good mood at this time, and he smiled happily when he saw Chu Ling'er, who was sweet and lively in front of him on weekdays.

"Hurry up, why did Ling Er think of looking for his father today?"

"Ling'er misses her father!" Chu Ling'er walked to Chu Hengjue's side with a smile, and obediently beat Chu Hengjue's back with her little hand.

"Is it?, I saw the food box that Ling Er was holding just now, did you want to give it to me?" Chu Hengjue glanced at the latter's pretended to be well-behaved, and asked pretending to be curious.

"Hehe, Father, guess what!" Chu Ling'er heard this, ran over and took the food box and put it on the case, but did not open it. Blinked and looked at Chu Hengjue with a pair of big eyes.

"It's soup!" Chu Hengjue glanced at the food box and replied with a smile.

"Huh, how did my father know!" Chu Ling'er asked with wide eyes and confusion.

"Father is amazing!" Chu Hengjue made a rare joke, he still knows more about this fifth daughter, she is lively and arrogant, and she is not a quiet person at all on weekdays. When you just enter the temple with a food box, you can hardly follow the rules, and only the soup that is easy to spill will be like this.

"Hehe, father, my daughter just learned the lotus seed lily white fungus soup recently, and I specially brought it to you to taste!"

"Oh, Ling'er even made soup, then I want to taste it!" Chu Hengjue quipped.

Li Mu on the side hurriedly helped open the food box and took out the soup soup and spoon.

Looking at the bowl of soup in front of him, and then looking at Chu Ling'er who was obviously looking forward to it next to him, Chu Hengjue picked up the soup spoon, scooped a spoonful, put it to his mouth, and was about to drink it, but he slowly put it down, looked back at Chu Ling'er, and asked slowly.

"No, does Ling'er have something to ask me for today? Otherwise, why is she so virtuous and well-behaved?"

Hearing this, Chu Ling'er's complexion changed, and then she pouted, and her little hand took Chu Hengjue's arm and shook it gently, her voice carrying the coquettishness of the past.

"Father Emperor is making fun of Ling Er again!"

"What's the matter? Isn't what my father said wrong? Say, let me hear what trouble you have caused again, so you came to curry favor with me?" Chu Hengjue put down the soup spoon and nodded Chu Ling'er's forehead.

"Hey, hey, father!" Chu Ling'er's little face wrinkled, and she said aggrievedly: "The queen mother forced me to learn to be a girl, but Ling'er thinks it's useless to learn that!

"Nonsense!" Chu Hengjue deliberately made a face when he heard this, and scolded Chu Ling'er: "Look at which girl in the capital doesn't learn to be popular, besides, you are still a princess of the dynasty, so naturally you have to grow a face for the royal family, you must learn!"

"However, everyone is already very old, isn't it a little late to learn this?" Chu Ling'er pulled the corner of Chu Hengjue's clothes with one hand and muttered quietly.
