Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

Cui Mingchong listened to Bao Zheng's "Your Excellency, you are welcome.", and smiled, but the smile was a bit bitter.

Seeing that Cui Mingchong's expression was still so depressed, Bao Zheng didn't speak again. After saying a few words, he bowed his hands and said goodbye.

After Bao Zheng left, Cui Mingchong stood for a long time before turning around and leaving slowly.

Cui Mingchong walked all the way in a daze, his mind was muddled, until a soft voice sounded: "Mr.

Cui Mingchong came back to his senses, and looked at the woman who had come to him at some point. The woman had a beautiful face, with gentle brows and eyes, but her tenacity could not be concealed. She stared at Cui Mingchong tenderly. The embarrassment is still revealed.

I don't know when, it rained heavily.

At some point, the woman held up an umbrella to cover him from the rain.

He stared fixedly at the woman, perhaps it had been a long time, and he could no longer remember some things, but the woman standing in the garden covering her mouth and smiling lightly at him, her brows and eyes full of pride, was at this moment. When I think about it, it is very clear.

But, when did the pride fade from the proud woman's brows and eyes, replaced by embarrassment?

Was it when her father-in-law was dissatisfied that he had not returned home for three years, and she tried her best to cover up for him in front of him?

Or when he was indifferent to her?

The clear, crisp and proud, beautiful woman that he will always remember makes him fall in love with him at a glance.

He has won her sincerity and won her people, but he has not treated her kindly in the past three years.

He let her stay alone in the empty boudoir, made her suffer the ridicule of the famous women in the capital, and let her bear the scolding of her father-in-law, but she didn't complain at all, she waited.

He knew that she had been waiting, had been waiting patiently.

She believes in herself, so she waits, waits for herself to turn around, waits for herself to let go of her guilt towards Yunshuang...

The mountains and rivers are full of empty thoughts, and the falling flowers and wind and rain hurt the spring even more.It's better to take pity on the person in front of you.

And when do you want her to wait?

He killed Yunshuang, so is he going to kill another Pang Qiuyan?

Cui Mingchong raised his hand slowly, and then, under Pang Qiuyan's suddenly red eyes and Pang Qiuyan's uncontrollable trembling, he gently held Pang Qiuyan's hand holding the umbrella, and said in a hoarse voice, "Qiuyan... wronged you gone."

This grievance sounded like thunder in Pang Qiuyan's ears. Immediately, the grievances, sadness, and bitterness that had been suppressed for three years rushed out like a flood that burst a bank. So, the tears that had been suppressed for three years, just like that , on this street, at this moment, the arms of the man standing in front of her burst out of her eyes!

Cui Mingchong looked at Pang Qiuyan who was crying bitterly in his arms, and his vision blurred for a while.

In this life, he owed both Yunshuang and Qiuyan.

Cui Mingchong and Pang Qiuyan hugged each other tightly in the drizzle, but they didn't realize that there was already a carriage parked at the end of the street where they were standing.

The carriage is very simple, but the man in his 40s sitting in the carriage has a gentle face and a smile on his lips. He opened the curtain, looked at the embracing couple, and said softly, "Grand Master Pang, here you go!" You can rest assured. This time, not only has this tricky case been solved, but Ming Chong and Qiu Yan have also been relieved, which is a double blessing."

"En." On the other side of the carriage, a man in his 40s, with a dignified and solemn face and dark eyes, was Grand Master Pang.He stretched out his hand, put down the raised curtain, and said in a low voice, "My lord, it's raining and the wind is blowing up, be careful of catching a cold."

A gentle man in his 40s, namely the Eight Sage Kings, waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile, "It's just a little rain, it's fine."

Grand Master Pang didn't speak, but lowered his eyes and slowly sat back to his original position.

Seeing this, the Eighth Sage King curled his lips and asked with a smile, "Are you worried about Feiyan?"

Grand Master Pang shook his head, and said slowly, "The matter of Feiyan has been settled, and Feiyan herself has no objection." But after speaking, her brows frowned.

The Eighth Sage King nodded, and said consolingly, "That's good. Although the emperor is a bit domineering this time, I can see that he really likes Feiyan. After Feiyan enters the palace, the Queen Mother will take care of her, so it's fine."

Grand Master Pang raised his eyes, looked at the Eight Sage Kings, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I'm afraid... prosperity is fragile."

When the Eighth Sage King heard this, he was stunned.

Prosperous and fragile?

Looking at Grand Master Pang's stern face in a daze, the Baxian King's heart suddenly jumped. Grand Master Pang, this is because he was worried that Feiyan's entry into the palace would... make Pang's family more powerful?And the emperor is in control of the world, so, afraid that Feiyan will get the favor in the future, the emperor will be even more afraid of the Pang Mansion?

Thinking of this, the Eighth Wise King couldn't help admiring Grand Master Pang for being calm and sober, but at the same time, the Eighth Wise King was a little strange. Shouldn't Grand Master Pang discuss such a taboo question with his own people?Why did you bring it up with his political opponent?

Thinking of this, the Baxian King asked curiously, "Grand Master Pang... Is it not good for you to tell me this?"

Grand Master Pang stared at the Eight Sage Kings quietly, his hands in his sleeves trembled, but his voice was calm, "Because the Lord knows me."

——Because the prince knows me?

These six words immediately made the Eight Sage King feel complicated and unspeakable, as if... back to 18 years ago...

After a while, the Baxian King said in a low voice, "If you are really worried about prosperity and fragility, you will do everything possible to prevent Feiyan from entering the palace."

Grand Master Pang couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly, the prince really knew him!In the past few years, the political views and positions are different. Although the prince has alienated him, he still knows him and understands him like this!

Grand Master Pang couldn't help but softened his face.

The Eight Sage Kings didn't notice it, but suddenly let out a sudden oh, looked up at Grand Master Pang, his eyes were shining brightly, "So, is this the reason why you deliberately stopped Bao Zheng from entering the Kaifeng Mansion?!"

Grand Master Pang pulled a gentle smile from the corner of his mouth.

Such a gentle smile... made the Baxian King a little dazed, and it had been a long, long time since he had seen such a relaxed and gentle smile from Pang Ji.

It seems that the person in front of him is not the high-ranking and powerful Grand Master Pang, but Pang Ji who played chess with him on a rainy night 18 years ago and talked all night...

The Eight Sage King lowered his eyes to recover himself, swallowed the sudden sourness, and said in a low voice, "Then, do you want to train Bao Zheng to become your political enemy and strengthen the Eight Sage King's power?"

At the end, the Eight Sage King's tone was a little displeased.

He knew what Pang Ji was thinking. Bao Zheng's solution to the case this time was not only focused on the emperor, but also the Eight Sage Kings, and Pang Ji.

Pang Ji must have seen Bao Zheng's ability. Bao Zheng is upright and smart, and most importantly, he is not pedantic, as can be seen from his handling of Cui Mingchong.

Originally, the emperor privately wanted to keep Bao Zheng in the capital and in the Kaifeng mansion, but he did not agree. Although Bao Zheng is talented, he has to go through a lot of thinking. He can solve cases and is smart. He is not an official. The best standard, he meant to send Bao Zheng to a place where he could grind it out.

But the emperor didn't know why he insisted on letting Bao Zheng stay in the capital, but the officials who usually vassalized him took his silence as support, not only echoing him, but also called on Taishi Pang's people to the board!But Taishi Pang also strongly opposed it.

Grand Master Pang's objection made the emperor feel disgusted. He was already very taboo towards the power of Pang's family.

Later, under his tactful persuasion, the emperor used Pang Feiyan's name to hint, at least Grand Master Pang is your future father-in-law!Now that the daughter-in-law hasn't gotten married yet, you can't save any face for the future Master Taishan, can you?

Such persuasion implied that the emperor had to take a step back.

Thus, Bao Zheng, the future Lord Bao Qingtian, was sent to other counties.

But now, in retrospect, the Eighth Sage King felt a little bit of resentment, that he was actually used by Grand Master Pang!

Taishi Pang, who is exquisite and smart, naturally heard the displeasure in the tone of the Baxian King, and said in a low voice, "Although there are many people who benefit from the prince, there are almost no people like Bao Zheng. I also need a clean stream." After a pause, he continued, "Although Ming Chong is considered a clean stream, but he is a member of my Pang family, no matter how well he does, the emperor will definitely be suspicious of him, and, Ming Chong He has put too much effort into matters of love, and he is not as straightforward as Bao Zheng. Most importantly, the emperor needs to have his own strength! The prince, mine, and the emperor will not be at ease."

The eight virtuous kings listened, and the displeasure in his heart gradually dissipated.

The emperor is his nephew, so he naturally understands best. After the emperor becomes an adult, the thorn in his heart is the person in the court, whether it is Pang Ji's or the eight sage kings. The emperor needs his own strength.

Although Bao Zheng was recommended by him, because he participated in the transfer of Bao Zheng, the emperor will definitely feel at ease now.Or, the emperor is so stubborn to keep Bao Zheng in the Kaifeng Mansion, but in fact...he also wants to see who Bao Zheng is?

Thinking of this, the Eighth Wise King couldn't help frowning.

Looking up at Taishi Pang, the Baxian King said solemnly, "The emperor... is already an emperor."

Grand Master Pang nodded slowly, without words, some things just need to be understood without words.

Soon, the carriage arrived in front of a certain study, and the Eighth Wise King was about to get out of the carriage, when a cloak fell on him.He bowed his head, it was very warm, the leather looked like a high-quality product, and it was a rare black with white edges.

"It's cold outside." The three words were low and heavy, very concise, but with caring, the Eighth Sage King naturally knew it.

The Eighth Wise King just raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking in his heart, this is a cloak that is very valuable, so I don't know how Grand Master Pang got it... Fortunately, this cloak is black, if you don't study it carefully, you may be afraid of it. Can't see it either.

The Eighth Sage King was thinking casually, but he didn't thank him. Over the years, one after another, this person has given him many good things either explicitly or secretly. Saying thank you will make this person feel sad. I don't know why?

Is it for the love of knowing you back then?Or is he the only one who knows Taishi Pang understands Taishi Pang for the sake of the whole world?

The Eighth Sage King didn't think about it any further, he opened the curtain of the carriage, and with the help of the umbrellas of the servants outside, he entered the study.

It wasn't until seeing the Eight Sage Kings entering the study through the window that Grand Master Pang let go of the hand tightly held in his sleeve, and a faint joy flashed in his dark eyes.

Today's harvest is pretty good.

Leaning on the carriage, Grand Master Pang closed his eyes slightly, Bao Zheng was sent to other counties, firstly for tempering, secondly...he didn't want the person he cared about to always admire another man in front of him...

——Even if this kind of appreciation is just an appreciation of talent.

What's more, from today onwards, the words prosperous and fragile will be put in that person's heart.

In this way...he will pay more attention to him and Pang Mansion.

As for what will happen to the emperor?What will happen to the court?

Grand Master Pang slowly opened his eyes, his dark eyes were full of indifference, how could he care?
