Rick thought she could not answer because he knew Lu Hanxue had been practicing silence. But unexpectedly, she spoke: "Where can I put it in the water?"

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

Lu Hanxue's lips were slightly tied, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her eyes: "Actually, I could speak a long time ago."

"Then why not say it?"

"I don't want to say it. Maybe you can try it for a day without talking, it feels very touching."

Rick shook his head. He couldn't believe that there was something moving without saying anything. Lu Hanxue suddenly turned her head and asked, "Don't you come down and give it a try?"

"Put your feet in the water?"

Lu Hanxue nodded. Rick smiled bitterly and said, "I'll spare it, the water is so cold."

Lu Hanxue kicked her 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 carefully, but unfortunately, Falli's shouts suddenly came from the opposite side. Rick had to say goodbye to Lu Hanxue helplessly and walk towards the hall. Half an hour later, a carriage carried Qin Xin, Rick and Falli, under the escort of the guards sent by the admiral of the Nine Gate, and headed straight for the palace.

At the same time, in the Prime Minister's Office of Boint, in a small and delicate garden, a man with a sinister face trimming a pot of lace, asked the young man standing behind him: "When will they do it?"

"It's within two days." The young man said with his head down.

"You seem to be dissatisfied with my decision?"

"My son dare not. But why should my father kill all the Pemon family?"

"Bastard!" The sinister man threw away the scissors and said angrily. "When will you understand that the reason why my Carlo family has achieved today's achievements is not achieved through kindness 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 stuttered: "I don't understand the righteousness, but there are almost only orphans and widows in the Permon family. Why doesn't my father let them go?"

The sinister man's face suddenly increased, but he did not scold the young man, and instead said lightly: "The Queen wanted to recall Gus' short-lived ghost to Bowent two years ago to serve as a consultant to the Ministry of State. You also know that Gus has no ability, but is good at handling various government affairs. His lack of knowledge of turning is a big obstacle for my Carlo family. This is the only thing that should be done to the underworld."

"But he is dead now, why not let go of the few remaining people in the Pemon family?"

He smiled coldly and said, "Cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will grow again. This is a necessary means for a real man to do things."

"But I heard that's not the case. My father and Gus once pursued the Duchess of the present-day-"

The sinister and cold eyes fell on the young man's face and said in a silence: "If you were not my son, what you said just now would kill you a hundred times. A bastard will not retreat yet." The young man hurriedly retreated in a panic. The sinister man turned around and looked at the sky, muttering: "Qinxin, you will soon enjoy the price of betraying me."

Qinxin and Rick waited outside the hall for nearly an hour. The eunuch came and told them to enter the hall immediately. The palace of the Blue Moon Empire was extremely large, and even hundreds of people were still empty. Rick held Qinxin into the hall, rushed to the front of the throne fifty steps, and immediately knelt down. He shouted "Long live the queen". A clear voice like a phoenix cry came from the throne: "Flat!" Rick then dared to raise his head, but his heart was thrust and his eyes couldn't be condensed.

A clear voice came from the throne again, and it was the queen's voice: "I feel comforted by you and the two of you in the Permon family."

Qin Xin said calmly: "Your Majesty is kind, and you are deeply grateful for the safety of your subordinates."

The queen's eyes narrowed and looked at Rick, who also peeked at the queen. The woman sitting on the throne was quite different from the image of the queen in his heart, mainly because of her age. She was too young and looked younger than Qinxin, at most twenty-five or six years old. She was beautiful and noble, and her nobility was absolute, beyond everything, no one dared to doubt it. At the same time, it formed her uneven temperament. The eyes of those phoenixes opened and closed, just like the brightest stars in the sky were flashing, making people feel the urge to surrender to her feet without realizing it. This is the emperor! Rick sighed in his heart.

The queen sitting on the throne noticed his sighing eyes, a mysterious smile flashed across the corner of her lips, and then said, "I have always felt deeply guilty for the Pemon family. Back then, I knew Gus was a master in government affairs, but I still sent him to Fenghua City. Two years ago, I thought about calling him back, but it was delayed for some reason. If I had done that at that time, the Pemon family would not have become like this today. I also have a responsibility for this. As for you, Madam, "the queen's eyes turned to Qin Xin and said, "The guilt in my heart is even greater. It is my negligence that the Puva traitor was not captured."

Qin Xin knelt down and said, "Your Majesty's great kindness has made Pei Meng's family feel that she has survived and died, and she dare not make any extravagant requests. Although the Puwa rebels are fortunate to escape, they will be killed in the future."

The queen nodded and said, "I have been thinking for a long time in the past two days and decided to let Xia Hua?Pemon inherit the title of Gus, award him the title of third-class Count, and also award him the position of 100 cavalry commander of the Queen's Legion. Madam, you have a child, wait for Lin's son to be born before you can give the title of gift." After saying that, the phoenix eyes turned and fell on Rick's face, and said, "I originally planned to give the Permon family some rewards for property, but someone has already received 100,000 gold coins from me, so I gave up this matter."

Rick knew that the queen was talking about him, and was so sarcastic and implicit in front of so many court officials. With his thick skin, he couldn't help but blush. Fortunately, he was very good at comforting himself. After thinking about it, he felt that the 100,000 gold coins were just obtained by him one day earlier, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he felt calm.

The appointment of Xia Hua?Pemon was obviously expected by the court officials, so it did not cause any objection. But at this moment, a civil servant with white beard suddenly walked out of the court hall train, and after saluting, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, I held a banquet at home last night and invited Count Xia Hua to the banquet, but I didn't expect that Count Xia Hua was secretly attacked by people of unknown origin on the way to the banquet. I was deeply worried about this. It is said that there is no guard at the Duke of Permon's house, and the safety is really worrying."

The Blue Moon Queen showed her eyes and asked Rick: "Is there anything wrong?"

Rick originally did not want to make this public because he was confident in the strength of the Nymph God Guard. Under their protection, it was difficult for the Duke's Mansion to find something wrong. He didn't know how this person knew about the sneak attack. Now the queen was asking, and he had to answer, so he had to honestly say: "This lord is right. Someone did attack my carriage. Fortunately, my subordinates could survive the disaster."

"Why don't you report?"

Rick said stutteringly: "Because I want to solve it myself."

"With your own strength?" Queen Lan Yue smiled, probably because she thought Xia Hua? Peimon was too childish. She gently stroked a strand of hair in her ear with one hand, and then thought for a moment, saying, "I must thoroughly investigate this matter. Duke Mei--"

The white-bearded civil servant who had just stood up and said, and the queen said majesticly: "This matter is left to you, and Immediately instruct the Admiral of the Nine Gate to thoroughly investigate the matter." When she talked about the Admiral of the Nine Gate, the majesty in her words suddenly increased, and she seemed quite dissatisfied. The court officials really secretly sweated for the Admiral of the Nine Gate.

Duke Mei respectfully retreated among the ministers. The queen continued to caress her hair, her eyes showing her thoughtful look, and she did not dare to make a sound in everyone in the hall. After a while, the queen's clear voice sounded again: "In view of the serious consequences of this matter, I specially allowed the Duke Permon's mansion to form a personal guard, and the number of people should not exceed 300." Speaking of this, the queen's eyes slightly reunited, ignoring His Highness's fierce reaction to this, and the eunuch immediately announced his retreat.

The court officials walked out of the court hall one after another. As soon as they walked out, several smooth court officials congratulated Qin Xin and Rick, especially Rick, who had become the new nobles in their minds. Although the gift to him was not very considerable, the privilege of "self-organizing personal guards" in the end was not something that a person like him should have. Although the number should not exceed three hundred, it fully demonstrated that the saints of the Permon family were in great importance. (Note: The law of the Blue Moon Empire stipulates that the family members of ordinary court officials and nobles should not exceed twenty people, and those with military positions would receive a certain number of personal guards according to the size of the military positions. These people were usually sent by the Ministry of War to receive the salary of the Empire. Given the current situation of the Permon family, they could only have fifty generals. However, the Queen of Blue Moon actually allowed the Permon family's guards.

To reach three hundred people, this is simply a huge grace. However, it is also a heavy burden. Because "self-organized personal guards" means that those personal guards cannot receive the salary of the empire and have to pay privately. This method of disposal does not mean to punish Rick, who makes him earn the Queen's money without knowing how to live or die. Note: The above description of family generals is ordinary. In fact, the real situation is very different from this. Many high-ranking officials who hold power often recruit a large number of subordinates in the form and name of diners, staff members or their secrets. Although this behavior is not tolerated by the law, it is usually recognized by many high-ranking officials and nobles. You should know that everyone cherishes life and raises more family generals means more personal safety.)
