Chapter 199

King Jin stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and started talking to Yu Qiushui.Yu Qiushui also turned her head to the side, and whispered something to the King of Jin. She used to cover her face with her sleeves, but now she had already pulled them off, so she couldn't see her expression clearly from a distance, but the slight movement of her body when she spoke showed that She was still agitated.

Yu Wangyan was even more skeptical. The father and mother met each other in the daytime, so they didn't know how to avoid suspicion and talked directly in front of the imperial study?Not to mention the relationship between the mother concubine and the father, Emperor Tianying knew, even other concubines could not be so close to a clan like King Jin to show off.

What the heck...

Can't help looking at Emperor Tianying, the expression caught on Emperor Tianying's face added to Yu Wangyan's suspicion.

Emperor Tianying was blaming himself, remembering something, love, regret, pity, and sadness flashed in his eyes, but there was no resentment or jealousy, not even a little bit.This look is like looking at a relative who is very important to him but has been deeply hurt and owed by him.

In front of the imperial study, King Jin looked at Yu Qiushui who was sobbing, and said coldly: "What's the use of crying, can crying get you what you want?"

"I……"

"Tears are the most useless thing." King Jin withdrew his gaze, walked up with his hands behind his back, "You've lost your composure, it's not good to be so restless."

"I'm sorry, I..." Seeing that King Jin was about to leave, Yu Qiushui grabbed his sleeve, bit his lip and sobbed, "My lord, if you don't do anything, when will you wait?"

King Jin's eyes dimmed instantly, he looked back, and sneered coldly: "What you reminded is that it's time to do something." He pulled back his sleeves, walked towards the imperial study room without looking at Yu Qiushui again.But Yu Qiushui stared at King Jin's back for a long time, as if he could see something in him that others couldn't.

All this fell into the eyes of Emperor Tianying, and he did not change the expression on his face from the beginning to the end.

Yu Wangyan returned to Prince Jin's mansion with doubts, and before he had time to change his clothes, he was told that Zhang Yifan had come to visit Xiao Sesel.

Yu Wangyan casually put on a big cloak and passed.

According to Zhang Yifan, he has been practicing martial arts during this time, and he was forced to keep his ears shut. He also heard some gossip about the desolate bewitching, but his father Zhang Qian dismissed him and said he was fine. If you don't listen, listen to some nonsense.

Apparently Zhang Qian didn't want to affect his mood for the exam. Seeing that Xiao Sesu was really fine now, but just pretending to be evil, Zhang Yifan finally felt relieved, and he could go back and tell Zhang Qian not to worry so much.

Yu Wangyan came over and brought some desserts for the two of them. Seeing Zhang Yifan's face flushed, he said with a smile, "The number one scholar in new science and martial arts is a formidable future generation."

Zhang Yifan waved his hand, "It's just that Kong has some strength, the rest are still tender!"

Xiao Sesu took a jujube cake, took a bite, and smiled lightly: "Since when is Yifan so humble."

"When have I ever been proud?" Zhang Yifan rolled his eyes, quite indifferently, making Xiao Xiao laugh out loud.

Zhang Yifan looked serious, and said: "There is something I haven't told you for a long time. The Sixth Highness was chased and killed by the Second Highness, and was seriously injured. Miss Xiao San was rescued."

Xiao Sesu and Yu Wangyan also turned serious.

"When did this happen?"

"It's been a while." Zhang Yifan said, "I wanted to tell you that day that Miss Xiao San saved His Highness the Sixth Highness in the Shunjing Cemetery, and His Highness the Second Highness silenced all the guards in the cemetery. I'm afraid I'll tell you if I tell you. will implicate you."

Xiao Sesu asked, "How do you know?"

Zhang Yifan lowered his voice and said: "That night I went to practice arrows with a few buddies. I came back late and happened to see it from a distance. So I climbed to the hillside behind the cemetery and picked some feathered arrows that could not be identified. , lit it and shot it into the backyard of the Second Prince's Mansion."

Xiao Sesu immediately thought of the weird fire in the Second Prince's Mansion that night, "So it was you who made it, and the Second Highness had to turn back."

"That's the way it is! Otherwise, His Highness Second Highness will kill His Highness Sixth Highness and Miss Xiao San!" Zhang Yifan curled his lips and said, "Sister, it doesn't matter to me how those princes fought for life and death, but Miss Xiao San can say whatever. Your sister, I definitely can't just ignore death!"

Xiao Sesu pondered for a long while, then murmured: "Fortunately, you are alert, and you specially picked the arrows when shooting, otherwise, if the one with a logo is found by the Second Highness, you will be burned." After finishing speaking, he looked at Yu Wangyan , "Forget the words, the third sister must have kept the matter of His Highness the Sixth Prince in the Xiao Mansion from the whole house, otherwise if Father finds out, he will probably tie up the Sixth Highness and hand it over to the Second Highness. What do you think we should do?"

Yu Wangyan stroked Xiao Sesel's hand, motioned her not to worry, and comforted her: "Take care of your baby, and leave this matter to me." After thinking for a while, he said: "There may be a big accident in the near future, you can avoid it." Just avoid it."

Xiao Sesu nodded and said nothing, but he had already made a decision in his heart to advance and retreat together.

Leaving the siblings in the room to talk about themselves, Yu Wangyan walked to Houhu alone.There was still ice in the lake, and the withered willows were drooping on the water, looking so lazy and leisurely, completely different from Yu Wangyan's mood at the moment.

He stroked the rusty red thread and Hetian jade beads on his wrist, squinted at a few waterfowls that were taking off, turned his head, and met the sight of He Huan who was walking up.

"My lord." He Huan cupped his hands.

"Any news?"

"That's right." He Huan said, "All of us ambushing in the imperial study heard the conversation between Emperor Tianying and Prince Jin."

Yu Wangyan looked serious, "My father is going to see Emperor Tianying, what is he going to do?"

He Huan took two steps closer and said in a low voice: "Didn't King Ji's rebellion beat down the Imperial Forest Army to the point where there were not many people left? Emperor Tianying was worrying about the formation of the Imperial Forest Army. Prince Jin took the initiative to ask for orders to reorganize the Imperial Forest Army for Emperor Tianying." .”

Some complex expressions flashed in Yu Wangyan's eyes, which didn't seem too unexpected, but the eyes became deeper and deeper like a pool of water.

He Huan didn't know what he was thinking, scratched his ear and smirked: "Uh... my lord, why don't you just ask Prince Jin about these things."

"You can't ask." Yu Wangyan said three words calmly, then stared at the frozen lake water and those poor waterfowls, and remained silent.

Because Yu Qingxuan also had reservations about Xiao Shutong and Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke naturally didn't know about Xiao Zui hiding His Highness the Sixth Prince in his boudoir, which was the same as Xiao Sesur's judgment.

And a few days later, His Highness the Sixth Highness and Concubine Rong appeared in King Jin's Mansion. I don't know what method Yu Wangyan used to get them here without anyone noticing, and Xiao Zui, Jun Yao, and Lu Luo also disappeared at the same time. .

After accepting Concubine Rong's lengthy words of thanks mixed with tears, Yu Wangyan sent a few confidantes to send Concubine Rong and Yu Qinghan out of the city for temporary shelter, saying that they were meeting Xiao Zui Jun Yao and Lu Luo.

Ever since Zhang Yifan was awarded the title of No. [-] Scholar of the Great Yao Wu, the whereabouts of Zhang Yifan seemed to have become a mystery. It seemed that Emperor Tianying did not arrange a position for him, but just let him stay at home and concentrate on practicing martial arts, waiting for the court to listen.Coupled with the fact that the Imperial Examination for Wen Sheng was about to start, Xiao Ke led all the courtiers to arrange the arrangements intensively, and everyone's attention to Zhang Yifan faded away.

The disappearance of Yu Qinghan, Xiao Zui and others was obviously beyond Yu Qingxuan's precautions. While sending people to search around, he was preparing for a bigger matter.

A few days before the imperial examination, there were a lot of flower pots and bamboo baskets in Jiaolan Hall, and the person in charge of the arrangement was the Chief Inspector. He only brought a few trusted servants to arrange the arrangement, saying that it was ordered by His Majesty. Cultivate some potted plants so that the fragrance of flowers can ease the mood of candidates in Jiaolan Hall.

Yu Wangyan came to inspect the arrangement on behalf of Emperor Tianying. The Chief Ouchi was covering a bamboo basket with a black cloth curtain, turned around and saw Yu Wangyan, and hurriedly saluted, "His Royal Highness King Jin."

Yu Wangyan glanced at the bamboo basket, and asked in a low voice, "Is it settled?"

"His Royal Highness King Jin, don't worry, slaves and slaves will definitely not go wrong."

Yu Wangyan nodded, and said in a solemn tone: "These are very important, and I depend on my father-in-law."

The Chief Ouchi did not speak, but nodded slowly, showing how much he attached importance to this matter.

Three days before the day of the palace examination, Yu Qingyun came back quietly.The substitute who had pretended to be him before took off the human skin mask and returned to his post.

On the third day of March, the imperial examination began on time in the Bingwu Year of Dayao.

The front hall of the Jiaolan Hall is occupied by examinees and examiners, as well as several princes and clan relatives.In the back hall, Emperor Tianying was resting. His body couldn't bear to sit in the front hall all the time, so he could only listen to the situation coming from the front hall in the back hall.The cousin of the Lin family waited on the side, lit some incense to soothe the nerves, and then went back to pick up the medicine and prepare it.

The atmosphere in the front hall was quiet and tense, and the candidates were writing hard.The new flowers in the temple exude a quiet fragrance, interlaced with the strong fragrance of ink.

From time to time, the inspectors walked back and forth among the candidates. Xiao Ke, as the chief examiner, commanded the inspectors to monitor the candidates, and at the same time took time to look at Xiao Zhiyuan.

When the exam was halftime, a young eunuch walked in quickly with his head down, tiptoed to the face of several princes and relatives, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, the tea is cold after sitting for so long. , the servant then ordered someone to change the tea."

Yu Wangyan was flipping through an ancient book in his hand. Hearing this, he glanced at the tea on the table in front of him and his eyes sank.

During the Imperial Examination, you have to keep quiet. If you want to change the tea, just let the servants come in quietly to change it. When do you need the servant to come over to ask?

Answering the servant's voice, yin and yang, came from Yu Qingxuan, "Change it, remember to change it to the best one."

"Yes." The little eunuch answered, turned around with his head down, and although he didn't raise his face from the beginning to the end, Yu Wangyan could still tell that this person was not the servant of Jiaolan Palace.

With a clear mind, he put down the ancient book, looked at several places in the ink-scented hall with cold eyes, and then sank again.

The Second Highness and the little eunuch were exchanging signs.

Then let's see if the Second Highness can win this time.
