Rick thought she couldn't answer, because he knew that Lu Hanxue had been practicing the Silent Mouth Meditation. But to her surprise, she spoke: "If I don't put it in the water, where can I put it?" ”

Rick was stunned by her sudden opening, and he stammered, "You--can speak--you?" ”

The corners of Lu Hanxue's lips twitched slightly, and a fluttering smile appeared in the corner of her eyes: "Actually, I was able to speak a long time ago." ”

"Then why don't you say it?"

"I don't want to say it. Maybe you can try not talking for a day, it's a touching feeling. ”

Rick shook his head, he couldn't believe it was moving not to speak. Lu Hanxue suddenly turned his head and asked, "Won't you come down and give it a try?" ”

"Put your feet in the water?"

Lu Hanxue nodded. Rick smiled bitterly, "I'll be free, the water is so cold." ”

Lu Hanxue kicked his feet in the water a few times and said, "Actually, the water is very warm." ”

Rick was stunned, he didn't understand what Lu Hanxue meant. He could have thought about it and might have been able to understand, but unfortunately, Farley's shouts suddenly came from the other side, and Rick had no choice but to say goodbye to the cold snow and walk in the direction of the hall. Half an hour later, a carriage carrying Ginshin, Rick, and Farley headed straight for the palace under the escort of the guards sent by the Admiral of the Nine Gates.

At the same time, in the prime minister's mansion of Bo Yingte, in a delicate little garden, a man with a gloomy face asked the young man standing behind him while trimming a pot of flowers: "When will they do it?" ”

"In two days." The young man hung his head.

"You seem unhappy with my decision?"

"My son didn't dare. But why did my father exterminate the Permon family? ”

"Bastard thing!" The yin owl man threw the scissors and said angrily. "When will you understand why my Carlo family is where they are today? It is not earned by soft-heartedness and mercy. Your grandfather is the prime minister today, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight. Since the Permon family is in front of us, it must be eradicated. ”

The young man snorted, "I don't understand any righteousness, but there are almost only orphans and widows left in the Permon family, why doesn't my father let them go?" ”

The anger on the face of the yin owl man increased suddenly, but he did not reprimand the young man, and instead said lightly: "The queen wanted to recall that short-lived ghost of Gus to Bo Yingte two years ago to serve as a counselor of the Ministry of State. As you know, Gus doesn't have any skills, but is good at handling all kinds of government affairs. He didn't know how to turn, which was a big obstacle for my Carlo family. This alone should let him go to Huangquan. ”

"But now that he's dead, why don't you let go of the few people left in the Permon family?"

Yin Owl smiled coldly and said: "If you don't cut the grass and don't remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows." This is a necessary means for the great husband to act. ”

"But I've heard that's not the case. Back then, my father and Gus pursued the Duchess of todayβ€”"

Yin Eagle's cold gaze fell on the young man's face, and he said gloomily: "If you weren't my son, that sentence just now would have made you die a hundred times." Bastard thing, don't retreat yet. The young man hurriedly retreated in a panic. The Yin Owl man turned to look at the sky and muttered, "Qin Xin, soon you will enjoy the price of turning your back on me back then." ”

Qin Xin and Rick waited outside the court for nearly an hour. The chamberlain came and told them to enter the temple immediately. The Blue Moon Empire's court hall was unusually large, and even if there were hundreds of people standing on it, it was still empty. Rick helped Kotoshin into the main hall, approached fifty steps in front of the throne, and immediately knelt down. Say "Long live the Queen". A voice as clear as a phoenix came from the throne: "Flat!" Rick dared to look up, but his heart was pounding. The eyes simply can't be condensed.

A clear voice came from the throne again, it was the Queen's voice: "I am really comforted that the Permon family has you two escaped the catastrophe. ”

Qin Xin said very calmly: "Your Majesty is benevolent, for the sake of the safety of your subordinates, the Peimeng family is deeply grateful. ”

The queen stared at Rick, and Rick peered at the queen. The woman sitting on the throne was quite far from the image of the queen in his heart, mainly her age, she was too young, she looked younger than Qin Xin's, at most twenty-five or six years old; She is very beautiful and noble, and her nobility is absolute, more and more qiΔ“, and no one dares to doubt it, which also forms her temperament that is not angry but mighty. Between the opening and closing of those phoenix eyes, it was like the brightest star in the sky twinkling, making people unconsciously have the urge to surrender to her feet. This is the Emperor! Rick sighed inwardly.

The queen sitting on the throne noticed his sighing eyes, and a mysterious smile crossed the corners of her lips, and she continued: "I have always been deeply sorry for the Permon family, back then, I knew that Gus was a specialist in handling government affairs, but still sent him to Fenghua City, two years ago, I thought about calling him back, but for some reason delayed it. If that had been done then, the Permon family would not have become what it is today. I am also responsible for this. As for you, Madameβ€”" the queen said with her gaze turning to her heart, "and the guilt in my heart is even greater, and it is my negligence that the traitor was not captured. ”

Qin Xin knelt down and said, "Your Majesty's great grace has made the Peimeng family feel dead, and they don't dare to ask for it anymore. Even if the traitor escapes, he will be ambushed one day. ”

The queen nodded and said, "I have been thinking about it for a long time in the past two days, and I decided to let Xia Hua? Permon succeeded Gus and gave him the title of Third Earl and the rank of Captain of the Queen's Legion. Madam, you have a posthumous child, and when Lin'er is born, you will make a gift. After speaking, the phoenix's eyes turned and landed on Rick's face, and said, "Originally, I planned to give the Peimeng family some rewards for their wealth, but someone has already received 100,000 gold coins from me, so this matter is abandoned." ”

Rick knew that the queen was talking about himself, and he was stabbed in front of so many courtiers, and with his thick skin, he couldn't help but blush. Fortunately, he was very good at comforting himself, and after thinking about it, he felt that the 100,000 gold coins were just obtained by himself a day earlier, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he was at ease in his heart.

To Xia Hua? Permon's appointment was apparently expected by the courtiers, and therefore did not raise objections. But at this moment, a white-bearded minister suddenly walked out of the court hall, and said in a loud voice after giving a salute: "Your Majesty, Wechen held a banquet at home last night, and invited Count Xia Hua to the banquet, but I didn't want Count Xia Hua to be secretly attacked by someone of unknown origin on the way to the banquet, and Wechen was deeply worried about this. It is reported that there is no one guard in the Duke of Permon's palace now, and the safety is really worrying. ”

The Blue Moon Queen looked at her and asked Rick, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Rick originally didn't want to make this matter public, because he was confident in the strength of the Nymph Guard, and it was difficult for the Duke's Mansion to come up with it under their protection. He didn't know how this person knew about the sneak attack, and now that the queen asked, he couldn't help but answer, so he had to say honestly: "This lord is right, someone did attack the minister's carriage, but fortunately, the minister knew some fists and kicks to survive." ”

"Why didn't you report it?"

Rick snorted, "Because the minister--the minister wants to solve it himself." ”

"On your own?" The Blue Moon Queen smiled, probably thinking Xia Hua? Permon was too naΓ―ve. She gently stroked a lock of silk in her ear with one hand, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I want to investigate this matter thoroughly." Duke May--"

The white-bearded Wenchen, who had just stood up to speak, responded, and the queen said majestically: "This matter will be entrusted to you, and I will immediately instruct the Admiral of the Nine Gates to investigate this matter thoroughly." As soon as she mentioned the Admiral of the Nine Gates, the majesty in her words increased sharply, and she seemed to be quite dissatisfied. The courtiers really pinched a cold sweat for the Nine Gate Admiral.

Duke May respectfully replied and retreated into the midst of the courtiers. The queen continued to caress her beautiful hair, her eyes showed a thoughtful look, and everyone in the hall did not dare to make a sound. After a while, the queen's clear voice sounded again: "In view of the fact that this matter may lead to strict consequences, I have specially allowed the Duke of Peimeng's palace to form its own personal guards, and the number of people should not exceed three hundred. Speaking of this, the queen's eyes narrowed slightly, ignoring the fierce reaction of His Royal Highness to this, and the chamberlain immediately announced her retirement from the court.

The courtiers walked out of the palace in 6 succession, and as soon as they walked out, several sleek courtiers said hello to Qin Xin and Rick, especially Rick, who had become the upstart in their minds. Although the bestowal on him was not very impressive, the privilege of "forming one's own guard" in the end was not something that a person like him should have, although the number was not more than three hundred, but it fully showed that the Lampon family was full of saints. (Note: The laws of the Blue Moon Empire stipulate that ordinary courtiers and nobles will have no more than twenty people in their families, and those with military positions will receive a certain number of personal guards according to the size of their military ranks, and these people are usually sent by the military department to receive imperial salaries.) With the current situation of the Peimon family, there can only be a maximum of fifty generals. However, the Blue Moon Queen allowed the Peimon family's guards to reach three hundred, which was a great grace. However, it is also a heavy burden. Because "self-organized guards" meant that those guards could not receive imperial salaries, but had to pay for them from private individuals. This method of disposition does not contain the intention of punishing Rick, who made him earn the queen's money without knowing whether he lived or died. Note: The above description of the generals is an ordinary situation, in fact, the real situation is very different from this, many high-ranking officials in power often in the form and name of diners, staff or their secrets to recruit a large number of subordinates, although this behavior is not allowed by the law, but usually recognized by many dignitaries, you must know that everyone cherishes life, raising more generals, it means more personal safety. οΌ‰

Of course, Rick can't handle these slick high-ranking officials, but Kotoshin can handle it well. With a smile, he dealt with all kinds of invitations on the spot, and if he really couldn't shirk it, he postponed it appropriately. After a long while, those people gradually dispersed, but there were two people who had been standing outside the circle, one was the white-bearded Wenchen just now, if Rick was not mistaken, he was the head of the Mei family, Old Duke Mei. The other is a fat man with a round belly and small eyes who stands in the court hall, and his skin seems to be whiter than that of a girl, and Rick guesses that he is the current prime minister Ponge? Carlo.
