Because after hearing the news of the disappearance of the full moon, Ling Hu Jie showed a gloating look, and was discovered by Ling Hu Quan, and Ling Hu Hongxi punished Ling Hu Jie to kneel in front of the old lady's window until the old lady woke up.

When Ling Hujie heard the doctor say that the old lady might never wake up, she was a living dead lying on the bed, beating her chest unconsciously.

If Grandmother never wakes up, will he still be on his knees? When is the kneeling to be a head!

However, Linghu Hongxi and Linghu Quan didn't speak, so Linghu Jie could only kneel obediently.

Because of the full moon and the old lady's affairs, Huquan suffered a great blow, and since he returned to the Hou Mansion, his tears have not stopped.

In the Qianyun Pavilion, Ling Huquan's eyes were red and swollen, and he looked at the tools that the full moon often used to make tea in the study, and tears fell again.

"Big brother, it's all my fault. Actually, I'm the Saoba star in the family! My husband is dead, and the full moon is still trying to save me - big brother, in fact, the ominous person is me. ”

Ling Huquan patted his chest, crying out of breath.

Ling Hu Hongxi sighed, he naturally didn't believe that his sister was an ominous person, but there were indeed too many things going on in the Hou Mansion recently. Do you really need to rush to rejoice?

It's not that he is in a hurry to marry Qiu Jixuan, but the entire Hou Mansion has been shrouded in haze for more than half a year, and every time he comes back, he feels breathless.

"How can there be bandits in that place? Since it is at the foot of Xiangguoji Mountain, and it is not a place where the dart bureau and other caravans must pass, how did you encounter a bandit? ”

Ling Hu Hongxi couldn't figure it out, shook his head and sighed.

"Big brother, I also think it's strange. This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can there be a bandit? But those people were indeed dressed like bandits, and they spoke in a similar tone. ”

Regarding the scene that just happened, Ling Huquan is also a little confused now.

"At the beginning of this year, His Royal Highness was ordered to encircle and suppress the Holy Lotus Sect, and at that time, he also cleaned up some ruffians and hooligans near the precision by the way, which I have never heard of such a group of people. This matter is very strange, I still have to go into the palace and inform the emperor of this matter in detail, after all, the full moon is a female official of the imperial court, if there is really something missing-"

Linghu Hongxi choked up when he said this.

"Big brother, don't say it. Falling off such a high cliff - there really is no chance of surviving, my full moon girl - if she hadn't pushed me away and let Tie Ying protect me, I would have fallen off the cliff now-"

When Ling Huquan said this, he hid his face and wept.

It made Hu Hongxi's expression even heavier and more painful.

A few days ago, he misunderstood his daughter, and his daughter's words gave him a feeling of empowerment, and he didn't have time to say a few more words to her.

"No matter what, if the body is not found for a day, I will treat this daughter as if she is still alive in the world."

With that, he stood up and strode outside.

Ling Huquan sat down on the chair, tears flowing uncontrollably.

——

At the same time, the Imperial Palace, Chengqian Palace

The emperor and Pang Rui sat opposite each other.

"Didn't you go back to Panghou Mansion to live? Why did you go back yesterday? There are so many empty places in this palace, isn't there enough for you to choose? ”

At this moment, it is the emperor who usually gives people a sense of majesty and coldness who speaks.

It's just that the emperor's expression in the face of Pang Rui is indescribably relaxed and natural.

It's like gossiping with your family in the back garden, and it's not at all a noble shelf of an emperor, who looks approachable and kind.

It's just that Pang Rui obviously doesn't appreciate it.

I didn't bother to raise my eyelids, lowered my head, and said lightly,

"That's where I was born, and I've lived there since I was a kid for twelve years. Others think it's a haunted house, I'm not afraid. I don't do bad things in my life, and I am not afraid of ghosts calling the door at night. Isn't it? ”

Pang Rui's words made the emperor's face a little weird, and there was a hint of indescribable bitterness in his eyes.

"Okay, it's not impossible for you to live there, just don't stay outside the palace every day, it's okay to live outside occasionally for three or five days a month."

The emperor actually had a time to bargain with others.

It's a rarity.

It's just that such an emperor is doomed, and only Pang Rui can see it.

"It's barely okay to stay in the palace for three or five days a month." Pang Rui didn't give the emperor a son at all, he didn't raise his head or open his eyes, he looked at the chessboard in front of him quietly, and it was completely dispensable to be the emperor.

Only others have such an attitude towards the emperor, and it is the first time that someone can treat the emperor like this.

Even the queen mother is polite when she talks to the emperor.

"Why is your heart not in this house? You have to waste your time outside. The emperor's words sounded like a reproach, but in fact, instead of having half a reproach, it was completely a feeling of helplessness and pampering.

"No way, I left here at the age of twelve, the desert is vast and magnificent, and my temperament became so arrogant and unrestrained at that time! It's been eight years, and I can't change it well, so I'm so virtuous. ”

Pang Rui said indifferently, but he didn't even look at the emperor.

And the emperor's gaze never left Pang Rui's face from beginning to end.

At this time, the big eunuch Xiao Zhuozi hurriedly walked in.

Because when the emperor and Pang Hou were talking, no one was allowed to disturb them, including the Queen Mother. So although it has been rumored outside for more than an hour, Xiao Zhuozi still didn't dare to come in until Linghu Hongxi came.

"Go back to the emperor, and make the fox marquis have something urgent to see."

"Linghu Hongxi?" The emperor frowned, and he didn't feel a strange feeling.

Linghu Hongxi has always been calm and calm, and he rarely enters the palace suddenly.

Pang Rui put down the chess pieces in his hand and finally raised his head.

The starry eyes are like the moon, the eyes are bright, and the delicate and delicate facial features are under the cover of the glazed palace lamp, revealing a flawless feeling of whiteness, and the white clothes are like snow, and the dust is not clean.

He sat here with his whole body, like the most perfect treasure in the world, which made people stunned and couldn't take their eyes off.

"Announce him in."

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Pang Rui had already ordered.

Although Xiao Zhuozi was one of the few people who had a close relationship with Pang Rui and the emperor, he was also taken aback at this moment.

Pang Hou is so bold and overstepping, can the emperor tolerate him?

Who knows, the emperor just waved his hand casually, and didn't mind Pang Rui's actions at the moment.

Xiao Zhuozi bowed down and retreated, and only when he went out of the door did he remember to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. The emperor's tolerance of Pang Hou is really beyond the impossible.

——

"Why did Linghu Hongxi come?" The emperor was still pondering in a low voice.

Pang Rui's face was solemn, as if he had thought of something.

Linghu Hongxi walked in hurriedly, and he could see his haggard look from a long distance.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Pang."

Seeing Pang Rui's leaves, Ling Hu Hongxi couldn't be surprised, and after saying hello, what he wanted to say was stuck in his throat, and it was indescribably sour and painful.

"Hou Ye is here, then I will leave, it seems that this game of chess can only be played by Hou Ye on my behalf."

Pang Rui said, stood up, nodded at Linghu Hongxi, and walked out of the main hall immediately.

Ling Hu Hongxi took a step forward, his expression still unspeakably sad and sad.

He quickly recounted what had happened, and the emperor was shocked when he heard it.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, at the foot of Xiangguo Temple, there were bandits?

How is this possible?

"Linghu Aiqing, don't worry, I will send more people to investigate this matter." The emperor comforted Linghu Hongxi in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Lord Longen." Linghu Hongxi got up after thanking him, but he inadvertently glanced at the chessboard, but saw the chess pieces on the chessboard, which made Hu Hongxi stunned.

Just now, Pang Rui was playing chess with the emperor, Pang Rui was a white son, and the emperor was a black child.

The white chess pieces are famously invited into the urn, as long as one wrong step, to be exact, as long as the emperor's chess pieces take a step forward, it is a loss of the whole game.

He remembered that when he came in, Pang Rui placed several chess pieces on the chessboard one after another seemingly casually, and the emperor's attention was on him, and he didn't notice it. What does Pang Rui mean by posing so quickly to invite you into the urn?

Is it just a coincidence? Or is it intentional?

Was Pang Rui reminding him of something?

"Linghu Aiqing, I will give you 3,000 Praetorian Guards, led by you, and you are fully responsible! Until you find Linghu Full Moon and exterminate the gang of bandits. ”

The emperor ordered in a deep voice at this moment.

If it is left before, as long as the emperor speaks, Ling Hu Hongxi will not have any objections.

But today, Linghu Hongxi just felt that Pang Rui's chessboard was really deliberate! Coupled with the fact that so many strange things have happened in the Hou Mansion recently, it may not be a good thing for these three thousand Praetorian Guards to be in his hands.

Linghu Hongxi pondered for a moment, and then looked at the emperor with some embarrassment and trepidation,

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with the use of the Praetorian Guards to exterminate the bandits, but there is really no need to spend so much money to find the little girl, although the little girl is a female official, but it is the responsibility of the minister to find her as a father, and please forgive the emperor The minister has to find his daughter these days, and he has to take care of his unconscious mother, he really lacks the skills to exterminate the bandits, and the three thousand Praetorian Guards are still——"

Linghu Hongxi paused when he said this, and waited for the emperor's decision with some apprehension.

This is the first time he has politely refused the emperor's order, and he has no bottom in his heart.

The emperor didn't answer him, so Linghu Hongxi just stood there with a bow, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

"Well, it's important for you to find your daughter now, it's better to do both, you are only responsible for finding your daughter with peace of mind, as for the three thousand Praetorian Guards, I still leave it to you to take them to search the cliff, and I will make other arrangements to exterminate the bandits."

The emperor insisted on handing over the 3,000 Praetorian Guards to Linghu Hongxi, just to show his generosity and compassion for his courtiers as a king.

Linghu Hongxi immediately retreated, and after leaving the Chengqian Palace, he met Pang Rui outside.

Linghu Hongxi took a step forward, clasped his hands into fists, and said in a deep voice,

"There's Lao Panghou."

This finger is naturally the content on the chessboard.

Pang Rui blinked, smiled gently, revealing an indescribable elegance and nobility.

"Hou Ye is polite, in fact, I didn't know what happened before I left, but I saw that Hou Ye's three souls lost two and a half souls, but he just casually put a few chess pieces to let Hou Ye calm down, don't lightly agree to the emperor's order, because the emperor did not punish Hou Ye a few days ago, someone has already secretly lost the impeachment of Hou Ye, at this juncture, Hou Ye still don't take some thankless things to do. In fact, I am also just preparing for a rainy day for Hou Ye. ”

Pang Rui's tone was light, but he was thinking about Ling Hu Hongxi everywhere.

Indeed, if he hadn't deliberately put on a chess game just now to remind Ling Hu Hongxi to calm down, Ling Hu Hongxi's state at that time would have been very willing to agree in a daze. How many pairs of eyes are staring at him now, Pang Rui's reminder is timely and accurate.

"Pang Hou, today's matter, thank you another day, I still have something to do, so I will leave first."

Linghu Hongxi nodded at Pang Rui, turned around and left quickly.

The next moment, Pang Rui's figure appeared in the hall again.

The emperor was thinking about what happened just now, and after Pang Rui came in, he seemed to mess up the chessboard at random.

"The task of exterminating the bandits is entrusted to Lin Jian."

Pang Rui suddenly spoke.

The emperor came back to his senses, and although he looked at him with doubts, he did not object.

"It's time for your prince's son to put on a show." Pang Rui continued, but there was a sharp essence in his eyes.

"Jian'er is casual by nature and uninhibited, in fact, it is more suitable for Donghe, who has a calm temperament, to exterminate the bandits." The emperor expressed his opinion, and if Pang Rui still insisted that it was Lin Jian, the emperor would not object.

"It's not about finding the right thing for them to do, so how can you see their potential and their true strength. Everyone will do well in what they are good at, but once you encounter something you are not good at, it is the most powerful time for you to observe a person! Isn't it clear whether he exerts his ability to overcome difficulties or unscrupulous means before he achieves his goal? ”

Pang Rui's voice fell, and the emperor had an expression of sudden realization in an instant.

"My eight years of hard life in the desert Gobi are not in vain, when you are here in brocade clothes and jade food, all I think about is how to speculate on people's hearts, which is naturally different."

Pang Rui's words made the emperor's face darken, and he seemed to feel guilty about him.

"I'll look for Linghu Full Moon in the dark, she must not be fine!"

Pang Rui's tone was rarely as firm and resolute as at this moment.

The emperor looked at his expression at the moment, and couldn't help but flash Linghu Manyue's cold and indifferent face in front of him, is it because Linghu Manyue is a little similar to that person, so Pang Rui cares about her very much?

Because when he saw Linghu full moon for the first time, he also felt that her eyes were very similar.

It's just that he later found out that Shang Moxin's demeanor and movements were more like that person!

Linghu Manyue is just a cold and indifferent look in his eyes, but Shang Moxin is like every movement in his gestures, and even the tone and tone of his speech are very similar, so he set up Shang Moxin as Concubine Xin as quickly as possible, all for the person he used to be.
