Chapter 925 She Can't Hold It Back

Inside the prison.

Just as Leng Yixiu and her brother were secretly discussing how to take action against the Duke of Zhenguo's followers.

Prince Leng and his three companions had just arrived here and met Gu Chan and the other two outside the cell.

Gu Chan was also helpless at this time. The palace guards who escorted them here actually locked them up in a cell. She was a woman disguised as a man, and it was not clear how long she would stay in the prison. It was conceivable how inconvenient it would be for her to be locked up with Feng Hao like this.

Feng Hao didn't care about that at all. When he saw Prince Leng coming, he quickly said through the cell door, "Old Prince, you have to trust us! We will never cheat."

"Then tell me honestly, did Guo Yu really buy the test questions for the three of you?" Prince Leng asked.

Feng Hao immediately shut his mouth and turned to look at Gu Chan.

Gu Chan said angrily, "Now that things have come to this, what else is there to hide? She did buy the test questions for the three of us that night, but we didn't even read them and burned them directly."

"You really didn't see it?" Prince Leng asked.

"I really haven't read it! And to put it bluntly, I never thought that I would pass the exam, so I wrote the Romance of Three Heroes casually. Who knew that I would pass the exam and get the third place? I was stunned." Gu Chan complained.

"Hahaha……"

Prince Leng was so amused that he burst into laughter.

Guo Pinchuan and Xu Zhenlin stood aside, both with bitter faces, unable to smile at all!

Wu Zhengyuan was puzzled and asked, "Old Prince, what are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at your stupidity, but do you really think Her Majesty the Queen is a fool? It has been hundreds of years since the founding of the Diyue Kingdom, and the imperial examination is held every three years. Has there never been a leak of the questions? So in order to avoid this problem, the Queen only gives three questions each time, and then takes them to the Imperial Academy to seal them." Prince Leng explained.

Xu Zhenlin nodded and said, "That's true. I was the one who sealed the three questions myself. Who would have thought that Lin Li would see them and leak the questions?"

"What a joke! If he had really leaked all three questions, the kid from the Gao family would have been admitted to high school long ago. He must have only seen one of the three questions and then leaked that question. As a result, the idiot from the Gao family memorized the wrong passage and copied it, and failed the exam." Prince Leng said with a wry smile.

Gu Chan suddenly realized and said, "Oh! I understand. No wonder I was wondering why Gao Lin failed the exam even though he had a professor from the Imperial Academy. It turned out that he memorized the wrong questions, but he was stupid enough not to think too much about it, so he ended up failing the exam."

"So! You don't have to worry from now on, just stay in the Heavenly Prison and wait for the Queen to investigate slowly. As long as she follows this line to investigate, she will definitely find the truth. Then it will be Gao Lin's turn to stay in the Heavenly Prison, and you can enjoy the good life outside." Prince Leng said.

Gu Chan asked in confusion, "Old Prince, you are so smart, why don't you go directly to Her Majesty the Queen to explain this, but come to us to talk about this instead?"

"Alas! I'm old, and I'm not interested in the fighting in the court. I just want to be leisurely and comfortable. Let the Empress negotiate with the Duke of Zhenguo!" Prince Leng sighed.

Gu Chan nodded secretly after listening to this, and finally she realized how shrewd this old man in front of her was.

The Duke of Zhenguo has many followers in the court. Even for such a big event as today's morning court session, he was able to skip it. This is enough to show that he has a very high power and status. It would be extremely difficult for anyone to deal with him.

Prince Leng threw this difficult problem to the Queen and her brother. He was happy to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight. No matter which side won in the end, he would be the one who benefited!

After understanding all these, Gu Chan had no choice but to clasp her fists and salute, "Old Prince, you are indeed amazing. I admire you."

"Don't flatter me. I'm old and not as good as you young people. Anyway, I don't want to say anything now. I just want to tell you that I will keep the red spider lily for you three. After this matter is settled, you three can come to the Leng Palace to find me. I will arrange an assessment for you. Whoever passes my assessment will be given the red spider lily." Leng Wangye said with a sly smile. After that, he turned around and left, leaving Guo Pinchuan and the other two standing outside the prison, staring at each other with Gu Chan and the other two standing inside.

Wu Zhengyuan sighed and said, "The old prince is really unpredictable!"

"Go back to the inn and rest! Don't cause trouble for us and don't provoke Gao Lin, otherwise I'm afraid you will be implicated." Gu Chan reminded.

"Brother Xu, I was wrong to doubt you before. I apologize to you again. I hope you and Brother Feng can get out of the prison safely as soon as possible." Wu Zhengyuan said sincerely.

Gu Chan and Feng Hao both nodded quietly, with nothing to say about his character.

After that, the two sides didn't say anything more. The three of them said goodbye and left immediately, leaving only Gu Chan and Feng Hao, who were left in the prison feeling extremely helpless.

At noon that day, Leng Yixiu sent spies from the palace to secretly investigate the case of selling the test questions.

Thus began a secret struggle between the Empress and the Duke of Zhenguo.

What's funny is that Gao Tianba, the Duke of Zhenguo, was not in Kyoto at this time. Long before the spring exam began, he had already taken his men to the south to travel and hunt for beauties.

The people in charge of the Zhenguo Mansion now are the eldest lady and his concubines. In order to help Gao Lin, they are working hard to discuss countermeasures with Wu Huaiyun and other Zhenguo cronies, and they want to put Gu Chan to death.

Gu Chan naturally knew nothing about this.

After spending a day in the cell with Feng Hao, at night she was really in a hurry to go to the bathroom.

Feng Hao was lying on the straw mat next to her. Seeing her twisting and turning on the ground next to her, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Hehe...No, you don't have to worry about me, just sleep." Gu Chan said with a dry laugh.

"Hiss! You haven't had time to relieve yourself all day. Are you in a hurry now?" Feng Hao said with a wry smile.

Gu Chan said unhappily, "You're asking even though you know it."

"Then go pee over there! Isn't there a toilet there? Why, are you still shy when I'm here?" Feng Hao laughed so hard that he couldn't stop smiling.

"I have a quirk. I can't pee when there are other people around me." Gu Chan said embarrassedly.

Feng Haole laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.

Gu Chan glared at him angrily. The next second, she leaped forward, raised her hand knife, and chopped down at Feng Hao's neck.

"you……"

Feng Hao was caught off guard and before he could even block, Gu Chan's palm knocked him unconscious.

Gu Chan stuck her head out to look outside the prison, and after making sure that no jailers were passing by, she quickly ran to the toilet in the corner and sat down to relieve herself.

She really couldn't hold it in any longer this day, and finally she felt a lot better after she resolved it!
