Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 248 Undercurrent

"Okay, okay, let's not say these words. Just tell me how I can help you, right?" Emperor Wen obviously knew what Ling Buhuo was in trouble for, so he simply interrupted him.

"It's your Majesty. It's actually very simple. Your Majesty, all you need is to allow Lou Ben to take up a post in Tingwei Mansion, so that I can gain the trust of Xiao Yuehou." Ling Buhuo bowed directly and said

"Well, this is not difficult, but you shouldn't always be busy with Zi Sheng's affairs. You can't forget the things I told you, right?" Emperor Wen reminded him.

"It's your Majesty. I will never forget your Majesty's teachings. In fact, what happened back then has nothing to do with Xiao Yuehou, so my eldest brother is destined to get no useful information." Ling Buhuo said

"Well, it should be said that this kind of thing should be difficult, right? It's really just a matter of letting Lou Ben take up the post. Is there really no need for other help?" Emperor Wen said pointedly.

"Your Majesty, there are still some difficulties, but I think I can do it, so I don't dare to bother Your Majesty anymore. However, I kindly ask Your Majesty not to issue an order too quickly." Ling Buhuo said.

"Well, just come to me when you are ready. Okay, step back and remember what I said." After hearing this, Emperor Wen directly waved his hand and said

After hearing this, Ling Buhuo knew that it was time for him to leave, so he bowed directly, then turned and left. Emperor Wen looked at Ling Buhuo's leaving back and nodded with satisfaction.

Ling Buhuo, on the other hand, had remained expressionless since he left the royal study. After leaving the palace and getting on his carriage, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was too thrilling just now. It seems that His Majesty still has selfish motives. He doesn't want to find out the cheap brother himself, and he can't refuse it openly.

But fortunately this is the case, otherwise where would there be any benefit?

What he didn't know was that Tutor Lou also entered the palace today and told the prince everything.

"What? They actually said that? Taifu, what do you think of this matter?" the prince asked.

"Your Highness, judging from the news you just said, there should be something really wrong with their brothers this time, or in other words, there was a conflict between His Majesty and the former general."

"Ling Buhuo is nothing more than a decoration that was pushed out, but there is one thing we have to guard against. Ling Buhuo is not worried about His Highness knowing when he talks nonsense."

"This is unusual. Without His Majesty's permission, he would never have had the courage, so Your Highness, we must be careful." Taifu Lou said

"Taifu, is there something you haven't told me yet?" the prince asked.

"The prince is wise, I do have something that I didn't say. In fact, Ling Buhuo mentioned the Sun family yesterday. Your Highness, I suspect that your majesty is related to the affairs of the Sun family." Taifu Lou said.

"What? Taifu, do you also suspect that it is the Sun family? But originally, my father asked me to marry into this marriage. What happens now? How can this be like this?" The prince said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, I think that whether it's because of the Sun family or not, we won't be able to take too big actions in recent times, so as not to attract your Majesty's special attention anymore." Taifu Lou said.

"Well, Taifu is right. You really can't go too far. However, we must have a way to deal with the matter between Ling Buhuo and Lao San." The prince said.

"Your Highness, this matter is easy. The focus of this conflict is my nephew. No matter whether Ling Buhuo is sincere or fake, he will always have to take care of it."

"The old minister will start to deal with it after he returns. If my nephew cannot become an official by then, Ling Buhuo will become the laughing stock of the capital, and the third prince will definitely question his ability." Taifu Lou said.

"Well, what the prince said makes sense, so let's do it." The prince nodded.

Ling Buhuo had just returned to his Hou Mansion and found that someone was already waiting for him. When he saw the visitor, he did not delay and followed him directly.

That's right, they arrived at their destination, which was the Chengyang Hou Mansion. Yes, the person who came to see him was the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion. The person who wanted to see him was naturally his cheap father.

After arriving in the study, Ling Buhuo quickly saw Ling Yi who was reading a book. He knew that this was a threat to him. He had guessed it on the way here.

After all, he had fallen out with his precious son. How could he not cause trouble for such a big thing? If he wasn't looking for himself, it wouldn't be him.

Normally, he would have cooperated with Ling Yi to complete this drama, but there was no need for that today, because he was now on an errand.

"Father, if you don't have any other instructions, then my son will leave first." Ling Buhuo said

"Huh? What did you say? Zichen, it's different now that you have been granted the title of Marquis. Your wings are hardened. I can't do it anymore. I really can't do it anymore. Father," Ling Yi said directly.

"Father, why are you doing this? I know the reason why you asked me to come here. I can only say that some things are not that simple."

"Father, what you see and hear may not be true." Ling Buhuo said directly

"What? Zichen, I just want to ask you, is this thing about Zisheng?" Ling Yi said

"Father, I'm going to disappoint you. This matter has nothing to do with my eldest brother. Don't ask me anymore. I won't tell you if you ask me again." Ling Buhuo said.

After hearing this, Ling Yi's expression changed immediately. After all, he was not Zi Sheng, and he could make Zi Chen have to do it, so what was left?

But what is the reason that allows Your Majesty to do this?

"Father, I don't care what you think, don't say it. I came back today, but I didn't say anything. It's all your own guess." Ling Buhuo said

"Okay, Zichen, my father's attitude was a bit wrong just now. Don't take it to heart. You haven't gone to see your mother since you came back, right? Go and meet her quickly. He misses you every day." Ling Yi smiled. road

After hearing this, Ling Buhuo naturally bowed, then turned and left. Looking at his son's leaving back, Ling Yi's expression became solemn.

Because he thought of a possibility. With His Majesty's great love for Zi Sheng, the only situation that could get things to this point was what happened back then.

It seems that my son has really found something, otherwise His Majesty would not be so anxious.

It seems that I have to make plans early.

Ling Buhuo didn't care about this at this time. He was busy dealing with his mother. After he said what he just said again, Chunyu finally calmed down.

"Son, although things happened for a reason this time, what are you going to do after this time? It won't be easy to maintain by then?" Chun Yu said worriedly.

"Mom, don't worry. With my son's current status, my eldest brother can't do anything to help me. Taking this opportunity to really change the family is not a big deal." Ling Buhuo said.

"Huh? My son, is it really okay? Is it really okay? Do you want to think about it again? After all, your eldest brother's status in His Majesty's heart?" Chunyu asked worriedly.

"Mom, no matter what happened this time, my eldest brother and I will never be able to go back to the past. If that's the case, why should I bother?"

"Don't worry, Mom, don't you understand your son yet? When have I ever done something I wasn't sure about? Don't worry, nothing will happen to me." Ling Buhuo said

"Well, okay, as long as you have an idea, then Grandma will be relieved." Chunyu said, "Grandma, this incident just happened, and I still have things to do, so I left first." Ling Buhuo listened. After saying this, he naturally left quickly.

After hearing this, Chunyu family naturally did not stop him, so Ling Buhuo came out of the Hou Mansion, and then he did not go home, but went straight to the Cheng family. He couldn't remember it originally.

But if his father could hear about it, then the Wan family could definitely hear about it, which meant Wan Qiqi, so he went directly to the Cheng family.

When he arrived, he happened to catch up with Wan Qiqi and the sisters having a private conversation. They were all a little surprised to see Ling Buhuo coming, especially Wan Qiqi, who knew everything.

Seeing that his wife didn't know yet, Ling Buhuo felt relieved. He was really afraid that Wan Qiqi's careless temper would make it difficult to explain the matter if he told her about it.

"Wan Qiqi, can you go out for a moment? I have something to tell my wife." Ling Buhuo said

"Ah, okay. Anyway, we sisters have pretty much said it. I won't disturb your farewell and wedding. Let's go." After Wan Qiqi finished speaking, she stood up and left.

After she left, Shaoshang said, "Tell me, husband, what happened?"

"My wife is smart and knows that I can't hide it from you. In fact, it's nothing. The reason why I'm so anxious to come back is because I'm afraid that you will worry if others tell you." Ling Buhuo said

"I asked you, how come you are so good at it, why do you insist on me returning to my parents' home? Have you been thinking of this trick before? Are you keeping it a secret from me?" Shao Shang asked

"I was wronged. Didn't I know that at the time? He is the only one who can do this kind of thing. Let alone others, even His Majesty can't pass that test." Ling Buhuo said

"Okay, husband, why don't you just say it's okay now? In fact, you don't have to worry about me. What you do now is the key. I'm doing well in my family, so you really don't have to worry." Shaoshang said

"Shao Shang, it seems that I should spend more time with you, but, but this." Ling Buhuo said

"Okay, husband, haven't I already said it? I understand, it doesn't matter." Shaoshang said

"Okay, madam, take good care of yourself. I'll go back and finish things first. After I finish my work this time, I will move here so that you can see me every day." Ling Buhuo said

"Okay, but husband, do you really don't need to take a concubine? It's okay with me." Shaoshang asked

"Bah, bah, bah, why are you mentioning this again? Didn't I tell you last time? Besides, I'm so busy right now, how can I have time to think about that?"

"You will be thinking wildly this day. Okay, that's all that needs to be said. I'm going to leave first." After Ling Buhuo finished speaking, he lightly knocked Shao Shang on the head, then stood up and left.

Shaoshang rubbed his forehead and looked at his husband's leaving figure, a smile appeared on his lips.

At this time, Wan Qiqi suddenly walked in and said, "Oh, what did Ling Zichen tell you? Look at how longing you are for spring? Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"Sister Qiqi, don't you know that I'm pregnant now? How can you be so scary?" Shao Shang scolded after hearing this.

"Sister Shaoshang, don't be angry. I'm wrong, isn't it? Tell me quickly, what did he say? Did you dodge on purpose?" Wan Qiqi asked.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Sister Qiqi. Not only did my husband not dodge, but he refused directly. I've told you a long time ago that not all men are like Uncle Wan." Shaoshang said

"What? Did he really say that? It shouldn't be right? How is it possible? Uncle Cheng doesn't take concubines because of his aunt's reputation. What's the reason for Ling Zichen?" Wan Qiqi asked in confusion.

"Of course it's because he has more important things in his heart." Shaoshang said with a smile.

"Hey, it's so sour, so sour, I won't talk to you anymore, let's go, let's go." After hearing this, Wan Qiqi left with a look of disgust. In fact, she said she was disgusted, but she was not without envy.

What she didn't know was that she actually misunderstood what Shao Shang meant. Shao Shang was not in love with Xiu and his wife, but wanted to say what her husband's true pursuit was in his heart.

When Shao Shang saw Wan Qiqi leaving like this, he naturally knew that she had misunderstood, but she wouldn't explain it? Anyway, there is no concubine in the house, so it is because her husband loves her, not because of anything else?

How could Ling Buhuo know about the little girls' little thoughts? After saying goodbye to Cheng Shi and his wife, he left the Cheng family and could finally go home this time.

Today was a very tiring day, so he took a rest as soon as he got home. Early the next morning, he went directly to work.

While he was on duty normally, he was extremely anxious. At this time, Xiao Yuehou was pacing back and forth in the study. He thought that Ling Buhuo would come today after such a big thing happened yesterday.

But he never expected that it was almost noon and Ling Buhuo hadn't come yet. When he asked someone to inquire, it turned out that he had gone on a special tour.

He secretly scolded Ling Buhuo for being so arrogant. Now he actually has the heart to go up in value?

Originally, he wanted to send someone to invite Ling Buhuo over, but then he thought, since he has been exposed, why should he pretend? Of course I went directly.

In this way, he could see whether Ling Buhuo was acting or not. He did what he thought of and walked out. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the door and get on the carriage.

When Ling Buhuo learned that Xiao Yuehou was coming, a smile appeared on his face. After all, he couldn't help it anymore, and he even played a clever trick.

Ling Buhuo stood up to greet him, and the two of them went directly to Ling Buhuo's public room without much exchange of greetings.

"I say, Marquis Xiangwu, you are really able to keep your composure. Do you know how big of a fuss your brothers made yesterday? You know everything you need to know!"

"Now that His Highness has gone to the palace to see my sister, shouldn't you think carefully about how to explain to His Highness then?" Xiao Yuehou said.

"Explain what? Why should I explain? This is not a big deal in the first place? Isn't this something everyone knows? Doesn't His Highness the Third Prince intend to compete for the throne?" Ling Buyu asked.

"You, you know that's not what I said?" Xiao Yuehou was at a loss for words.

"What does that mean? Xiao Yuehou, I think you are not here for the Third Highness, but for yourself, right? Just keep your heart in mind and nothing will happen to you." Ling Buhuo said
