The words of the full moon made Lin Jian scratch his head.

Is there anything wrong with the old butler Whitebeard other than speaking slowly?

"Your Highness, are you from the palace?"

Full Moon pointed to Lin Jian's shoes, as if the problem was all in his shoes.

"Yes. When I came out of Jingyang Palace, I would pass by a mangrove forest, it was the middle of winter, and the leaves of the mangrove forest had long since fallen, but the soil was dyed red. ”

Lin Jian pointed to the red dirt on his boots and explained to the full moon.

Because there is snow on the ground, and then you step on the red dirt, once the snow melts, the edges of the boots will take on a maroon red circle.

"You mean the old man with the white beard—"

"His shoes are also stained with red soil, this kind of red soil is very rare, only where there are mangroves, and he has to step on the unmelted snow water, the outside is cold, the house is warm like spring, if it is elsewhere or has been stained a long time ago, I am afraid that it will melt early, not after entering the house because of the temperature rise and melt, if it is calculated according to time, there is no mangrove forest near Linghuhou Mansion, only the palace."

When the full moon came to this, Lin Jian was suddenly shocked.

"He's been in the palace before?"

What made him even more frightened was that the white-bearded old man was seventy or eighty years old no matter how he looked at it, and there were still people talking about it before, generally saying that Pang Rui's family had fallen to such a point, and the housekeepers were all old men in their seventies and eighties. But if it is really what the full moon said, this white-bearded old man can enter and leave the palace freely, and he is by no means an idle person!

"I'm not 100% sure! But in addition to the palace, there are really no mangrove forests near the Hou Mansion! If he stepped on it somewhere else, why didn't Pang Rui have it on his boots? And the ones on his boots were freshly scratched. ”

If it hadn't been for Linghu Hongxi to let her send Pang Rui away, in fact, the full moon might not have observed so carefully.

"It seems that Pang Rui's matter needs to be investigated in more detail."

The expression on Lin Jian's face was deep and solemn.

If you can freely enter and leave the palace without being discovered, and at such an old age, then Pang Rui is really surrounded by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon masters! What if this threatens the safety of my father and grandmother?

"Full Moon, you said that the poisoning of the hunting ground a month ago will have something to do with Pang Rui?"

Although Lin Jian's assumption is bold, there is a certain reason.

"Although Pang Rui hasn't come back at that time, he can send someone back, but now there is no evidence, and it's useless to say anything!"

Full Moon said thoughtfully.

With such a master around him but not in a hurry to make a move, what kind of game of chess is Pang Rui playing?

If he really has an ulterior secret, shouldn't he have kept a low profile when he comes back to Kyoto thousands of miles away? With such a fanfare, is there a master behind him?

Who else has the ability to do this?

"Your Highness, if you really want to investigate Pang Rui, you should hold off for the time being. I'm worried that Pang Rui's person may not be visiting the palace at night, what if he has an internal response in the palace? ”

"I'm worried about that, too! If the inside and the outside are together, the father and the grandmother—"

The expression on Lin Jian's face became more and more solemn.

"Your Highness, this will not be! If Pang Rui wants to be unfavorable to the emperor and the queen mother, he has too many opportunities to take advantage of, although the emperor and the queen mother don't like him, their defense of him is very low, because of Pang Rui's embarrassing identity, but Pang Rui has a lot of opportunities to no avail, but he entered the palace once before coming to the Hou Mansion! The talent who receives him in the palace is the most important thing. ”

The words of the full moon made Lin Jian more and more frightened.

"It seems that this Pang Rui is really not simple!"

Lin Jian was shocked, but he admired the observation and adaptability of the full moon again.

If she hadn't observed this, I'm afraid that in a few months, he wouldn't have seen the true skills of the white-bearded old butler!

In this way, when investigating Pang Rui, at least there is a clear direction.

"You stopped me just now, and I thought you were finally- but that's fine, so I can see the real gap between myself and you."

Lin Jian was a little ashamed at the moment.

If it weren't for the full moon, he wouldn't even have a direction to investigate.

He wants to stand in front of the full moon to protect her and take care of her! Let her perch under his wide wings, but now it seems that his existence by the side of the full moon is only emotionally involved, but the full moon can always find the direction for him at a critical moment!

He didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't!

The gap between them is really big.

Lin Jian left again, not just a simple expectation and fantasy, but with a deep sense of mission! If he still needs to be reminded by the full moon to find his way in everything in the future, then he doesn't deserve to stand by the full moon!

――

Late at night, Yin Xiu came back from Lin Yidongyao's side, and the news she brought not only verified the full moon's guess, but also made the full moon even more curious about how many trump cards Pang Rui still had not shown!

The spies in Lin Yidongyao's palace found that the people next to Pang Rui had been in and out of the palace, but the person was dressed up in disguise, and he couldn't tell which one was next to Pang Rui.

Combined with what he had observed, Lin Yidongyao found that nine out of ten of the people who entered and exited the palace were Steward Zheng beside Pang Rui.

Ever since the full moon pointed out in front of Lin Yidongyao how Lin Yidonghe placed spies in the palace and outside the palace, Lin Yidongyao paid special attention to the cultivation of secret agents.

That's why we have today's harvest!

It's just that although the harvest is big, the current situation is even more confusing.

Pang Rui is friend or foe, and it is difficult to distinguish for the time being!

Full Moon also sent Tie Ying to follow Qiu Jixuan before, Qiu Jixuan has disappeared since the dinner, and I don't know when he will come back! If Qiu Jixuan is really the daughter of the Qiu family in Jiangnan, she naturally doesn't know martial arts, and she won't be able to get rid of Tie Ying.

But Qiu Jixuan can leave unnoticed, and come back unconsciously!

Her identity is just as suspicious!

Once again, the full moon assumes a bold conjecture!

What if Qiu Jixuan is not the real Qiu Jixuan?

It's not impossible for this thing to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix into a phoenix! There is a Liu Mengliang in front of him!

"Yin Xiu, you ran errands tomorrow morning, so that His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness kept an eye on Qiu Jixuan! Ming'er will also enter the palace, just in case. ”

If it weren't for Qiu Jixuan's identity and too many doubts, the full moon would not have arranged for Lin Yidongyao to stare at her.

Looking at Qiu Jixuan's reaction today, it is not so simple for her and Pang Rui to know each other! Pang Rui left Kyoto at the age of twelve and stayed in the desert Gobi for eight years! In the past eight years, Qiu Jixuan has never left Kyoto!

The communication between the two may have been earlier!

But if this Qiu Jixuan is a fake, then the time she and Pang Rui have known each other cannot be calculated!

The full moon has not been calculated, and Pang Rui's appearance will bring so many chain reactions!

And that's just one side of the story!

That night, the full moon stayed awake all night, and he couldn't figure out the real purpose of Pang Rui's return, and who became his backer in the palace!

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

The courtyard of the third lady next door suddenly came with a noisy and noisy sound.

"Miss! Something happened in the courtyard of the third lady! ”

The voice of Ximeng sounded at the door, and the full moon chuckled in her heart, the third lady has been sick, she also went to see it a few times, she was very sick, and she took a lot of medicine to no avail, and finally the doctor said that it was a heart disease, and the third lady needed to be happy.

"What's going on?" Full Moon said as she walked out of the room.

Although she hadn't slept all night, her expression was still cold, and after a night of thinking, the cold air in her eyes was even more cold than before.

"Miss, there is news from the old lady's yard, it is Miss Qiu who didn't know what to do last night, the old lady invited a Taoist priest to come back to practice, who knows that the priest has just started to practice, the third lady is in the house painfully dead and alive, the old lady said that the third lady provoked the magic barrier, and now bring people to the third lady's courtyard to fight ghosts."

Ximeng's face was indescribably shocked when he said this.

After all, she was still young, and it must have been the first time she had experienced such a thing.

"Qiu Jixuan was stunned?" Full Moon frowned, thinking of Qiu Jixuan's sudden disappearance last night and suddenly returning home.

It's no wonder she's going to be nightmare!

The third lady's body has been weak in recent months, and if the old lady tosses in her yard again, I'm afraid that the third lady won't be able to survive this winter!

At that time, the old lady will also have something to say, and you can blame all the accidents of the third lady on the magic barrier!

"Now go check it out."

The full moon did not delay much, and walked towards the courtyard of the third lady with everyone.

Outside the hospital, I met Linghu Spring, who came in a hurry.

Seeing the full moon, Ling Huquan spit out the words that he had been holding back,

"What is this old lady tossing early in the morning? Why did you still do it here when you were looking for a Taoist priest! It is clear that I saw that the eldest brother went to the court, and there are many things in the court today, and the eldest brother will not be able to return to the Hou Mansion for a while, and the old lady is taking the opportunity to have a moth again! ”

Ling Huquan's dissatisfaction with the old lady has reached the top!

Full Moon shook her head and softly persuaded her,

"Auntie, let's go and have a look first! The third lady's body is afraid that she can't withstand such a toss, if it is really as her grandmother said, Qiu Jixuan was tricked, then she should ask Qiu Jixuan where she went yesterday and who said what she said, so that you can find the cause and effect. ”

As soon as the full moon said this, Huquan was immediately stunned.

"Qiu Jixuan went out last night?"

"Doesn't my aunt know? After I sent Pang Hou, I thought about the new clothes I needed to enter the palace this morning, and remembered that my grandmother handed over to Miss Qiu a few days ago, so I wanted to ask her whether she would send the clothes tomorrow at noon or in the morning, who knew that she was not there, my maid waited at the door of her room for a long time, and had to come back to hand over the errand, when she came back, I don't know. ”

Full Moon's words made Fox Quan's face cloudy.

"What is she running out in the middle of the night? What attracted her out there? Ling Huquan's eyes instantly turned cold, and he immediately took a step towards the courtyard, and he must ask Qiu Jixuan where she went last night.
