Ever since he found out that the pearl was missing, Murong Yanchang has been restless day by day, lest this fatal bead suddenly appear from somewhere and kill him. Therefore, he didn't go to the yamen for the past few days, and concentrated on being anxious at home, grinding and losing his temper.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "In case the news leaks, he can't get out of it!" Do you want Ben Hou to beg him personally? ”

Pang Zi echoed: "I think, that's what the eldest prince thinks." They said that they had inquired about Mingzhu's whereabouts, but they didn't know if it was true or not......"

Murong Yanchang still understood this clearly, and his tone eased: "It's better to hope that it's true, otherwise it's ......" Murong Yanchang shook his head, threw out those unimaginable pictures, and said, "What about Qi'er?" Why haven't you come yet? ”

As soon as the words came out, Murong Qi had already entered the courtyard.

When Mrs. Pang saw her son from a distance, she immediately smiled, and before Murong Qi stepped into the threshold, she grabbed him and asked for warmth: "Qi'er, you are here, why don't you let the maid light a lantern......

At this time, the sunset in the western sky is in full bloom.

Murong Qi's expression was sorrowful, and his words and demeanors were not as proud as before, and he couldn't be a lifetime: "Dad, mother." Call the kids...... What's the matter? ”

Thinking that once the incident in the east window happened, such an innocent child would be implicated, Murong Yanchang couldn't help but feel pity, his eyes were full of love at the moment, and he said: "It's nothing, go, accompany my father to Qingfeng Residence for a walk." ”

Pang Shi noticed that Murong Qi's expression was different, so he stopped him and said, "Qi'er, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Murong Qi stumbled: "No...... No, mother, I'm fine. ”

Pang Zi raised his hand and probed his forehead, although he found no signs of fever, he was finally not very relieved, and advised: "Master, don't stay too long, let the doctor come over later, and show Qi'er." ”

Murong Yanchang answered and left in a hurry.

When Murong Yanchang arrived at Qingfeng Residence, he saw that there were no others in the house, and he didn't sell Guanzi, so he said: "Qi'er I have already brought it, since you have found out the whereabouts of the Night Pearl, just tell it." ”

Zhang Wenxin looked at Murong Xi and saw that he had no opinion, so he asked Murong Qi and said, "Master Qi, have you been to Baoyue Tower recently?" ”

Murong Yanchang didn't look like a good place when he heard this name, and frowned: "Baoyue Tower? What is that place? How could Qi'er possibly go to that kind of place? ”

"Dad, don't be impatient."

Zhang Wenxin handed over a cup of tea and blocked Murong Yanchang's mouth.

Murong Qi didn't squeak for a long time, and then she said again: "Young Master Qi, did you give all the eight hundred taels of gold to Miss Mingyue?" And the pearl of the night, do you know it's not an ordinary pearl? ”

In the past few days, Murong Yanchang has been restless, and the whole mansion is panicking, and Murong Qi naturally knows that the treasury in the mansion has been robbed, although he only said that he lost eight hundred taels of gold, but from the anxiety of his parents, he also faintly noticed that things were not as simple as they were difficult. But he didn't dare to ask more, for fear of revealing his feet.

Murong Qi stood up suddenly: "How is that bead not ordinary?" Isn't it just that it can shine at night? ”

"What?" Murong Yanchang was incredulous: "Qi'er, is it really you?" ”

Murong Qi: "Dad, I'...... The child was just confused...... Be...... It was Feng Gongzi who had to take the child there. He said that there was a new fun place in the city, and the child didn't know that Baoyue Tower was that kind of place......

What was confused for a while, it was clear that he was prepared to go, and he went several times.

However, Murong Yanchang didn't seem to care about pursuing these: "So speaking of that night pearl, what ...... did you also give it?" ”

"Bright Moon Girl." Murong Qi said: "Baoyue Tower only accepts gold, not silver......"

Zhang Wenxin almost squirted out a sip of tea, it turned out that a cup of tea cost ten taels, and a boudoir cost a hundred taels, is it all gold? That...... At this time, counting the little money that Murong Qi stole, he was really poor.

“…… The gold is too heavy for the child to take so much at once. I accidentally discovered the Dark Pavilion that day, so I ...... Dad, what's the difference with that bead, it's worth your ......?"

Just said that he was confused for a while, so he won't admit himself now. He went five times to steal all the gold.

However, the Hou Ye in front of him always seems to ignore many important things. I only heard him sigh and said, "That bead was given to your grandfather by the first emperor!" ”

"Huh?"

Murong Qi's legs weakened and he fell to the ground.

Murong Yanchang immediately panicked, hurriedly leaned over to look at him, and hurriedly called someone to carry Murong Qi back. Immediately afterwards, he followed.

Qingyun Juli was suddenly brightly lit and colorful, the Yahuan family was so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and the doctors in the house also ran with their legs in the wind, eager to fly.

Pang Shi was worried that Murong Qi was sick, but when he heard that he had fallen to the ground in Qingfeng Residence, he rushed to the ground as soon as possible. The doctor came over to check the pulse and said, "The second son is fine, but he has been overworked all the year round, and he has been restless and frightened recently, so his feet are weak for a while." Childe is young, rest for a while, grab some medicine to make up for it, and it will be fine. ”

With that, he stepped aside and picked up his pen and prescribed.

Pang Zi still wept to himself: "Master, I said that Qi'er's homework is too heavy, but you don't listen, so you have to invite three gentlemen for him." It's good now, he's overworked all year round, and if he leaves a root cause, how good is this! ”

Murong Yanchang also sighed: "From tomorrow, all those gentlemen will be dismissed." Wait until Qi'er is better and then please, and only invite one in the future. ”

The old doctor listened on the sidelines and shook his head, this fatigue, where is the bookcase, it is clearly in a broader world than the bookcase.

Murong Qi lay down for a while, relieved his breath, and was fine.

Pang Zi stayed by the bedside, asked the maid to bring the medicine, and fed it with his own hands, which was a little relieved. said to Murong Yanchang: "Master, what happened to Qingfeng Residence? Why is Qi'er still frightened? Master, you have to be the master of our mother and son! ”

Murong Yanchang's face was calm, and he was speechless for a while.

Seeing that he refused to express his position, Pang Zi burst into tears again and said, "Master, Qi'er is still a child, he doesn't understand many things, and he won't say anything if he is bullied." The concubine body has long known that the eldest prince will be bullied to him sooner or later. If you refuse to do justice for him, then our mother and son will really have no way to live......"

Murong Yanchang was upset and said angrily: "There is no way to live, Ben Hou is the one who has been harmed by him and has no way to live!" ”

Pang Zi seemed to be a little wrong when he heard the meaning of his words, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Master, what did you just say...... Qi'er? ”

Murong Yanchang sat down: "Who else could it be?" Stealing gold and taking pearls are all his doings. Just now in Qingfeng Ju, he admitted it himself! ”

"How so? How can it be? ”

Pang Zi looked at his son on the sickbed, and the trapped beast was still fighting: "Qi'er, what does he want so much money for?" Even if he asks for it, will I not give it? He doesn't have to steal it. Master, it must be the eldest prince and their husband and wife, joining hands to frame Qi'er! Qi'er, he must have been forced, he was beaten into a trick! Master...... Besides, where did he get the key to the vault......"

Speaking of the key, Pang suddenly remembered that her key was placed in a vase in the house, Murong Yanchang didn't know, but his baby son did. If he wants to get the key unknowingly, and then return it unknowingly, it is actually very easy.

Murong Yanchang sighed: "For today's plan, we must quickly find the pearl." If it's too late, if the Baoyue Tower changes hands over the pearl, a catastrophe will come......"

Mrs. Pang wiped away her tears: "Hug Yuelou? ”

Murong Yanchang had a bad voice: "It's a newly opened song house, I heard that it is in Yongle Fang." ”

With that, Murong Yanchang got up and left, and returned to Qingfeng Residence.

Murong Qi saw that his father was gone, and he didn't mean to pursue the guilt, so he sat up as soon as he exerted his strength, pulling Pang Zi's sleeve: "Mother, what you just said, if I want money, you will give it, is it true?" ”

The child did such a thing, and Pang Zi was also slightly dissatisfied: "I will give it, but I will not give it to you to a place like Baoyuelou." This dignified prince of the Hou Mansion went to the Song Building, in case it was passed out, let Prime Minister Guo Cheng's mansion know, how could he still marry his daughter to you? ”

Murong Qi knew that his mother would not really annoy him, and said coquettishly: "Mother, I am also confused for a while, and I promise that I will not go again." Will you give me another thousand taels? ”

"Okay."

Pang Zi was coaxed by him in a few words, and agreed in one bite, but still asked: "However, what do you want to do with this thousand taels?" ”

"I borrowed 1,000 taels from Feng Gongzi, thinking that I would repay him as soon as possible, so that his family would not come to the door to collect debts and let my father know."

"Feng Gongzi? But the son of Feng Shilang's family in the Ministry of Works? ”

Murong Qi nodded: "Exactly." ”

Don't say 1,000 taels, 10,000 taels, she can also take it out without revealing anything. Although it is distressing to spend so much money, she can still understand it compared to letting Murong Yanchang know which is more important.

Immediately, he only pointed at Murong Qi's head, and said dotingly: "...... you"

When Murong Qi saw that the goal was achieved, he laughed again and coaxed her mother to go back to rest.

Mrs. Pang saw that her son was really fine, so she was relieved.

Before leaving, Murong Qi added a reminder: "Mother, remember a thousand taels of gold, I will ask for it tomorrow." ”

Gold! The corners of Ponzi's mouth twitched immediately, and he almost died of distress.

Murong Yanchang went and returned, and returned to Qingfeng Residence, although his momentum was three points shorter, the shelf was still full of dignity: "Since the Night Pearl has a whereabouts, it should be brought back as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

At this time, it was just dark, and it was the best time to go to Baoyue Tower, Zhang Wenxin said: "The bead itself is worth a lot of money, since I left the house, only three days have passed, and it should not have been transferred." I just don't know how you, Dad, plan to get it back? ”

"Naturally, the sooner the better."

"I mean, first, dad you can spend a lot of money to redeem the beads from the Baoyue Tower, and the other is to bring the soldiers of the house over and surround the Baoyue Tower, forcing them to hand over the beads. In fact, no matter what method is used, there seems to be no need for the daughter-in-law to intervene. ”

At the thought of spending a lot of money, Murong Yanchang twitched in his heart. Unfortunately, this bead is too special, and he doesn't dare to ask for it openly if he borrows ten guts. He asked, "How much?" ”

"This, it depends on Miss Mingyue."
