Chapter 77: Ask Shizi for help
It's just that now for Xue Xingyi, He Linwan doesn't feel sad anymore, she just wants to figure out what is going on.
I only heard Zeng Heng over there ask: "I wonder if Gongzi can become Qiu Yu's disciple this time?"
Xue Xingyi's voice was still undulating: "My father asked you to come?"
"My lord heard that something happened to your apprenticeship, so I ......"
Xue Xingyi interrupted Zeng Heng's words lightly: "Since I promised my father to come to apprentice, I will naturally do my best, if the final result is not what my father wants, I hope he can remember to promise me." β
Zeng Heng paused, and then said: "What does Gongzi mean about leaving Beijing? My lord still hopes that Gongzi you can stay in the capital, after Fan Ge Lao Zhishi, now the power of the Mu family in the court is in full swing, and His Majesty will definitely not be happy to see the Mu Pai family dominate for too long, so he should soon vigorously promote the new science and technology Jinshi, with the talent and ability of Gongzi, as long as he stays in the capital, he will be able to get the reuse of His Majesty." β
Xue Xingyi said lightly: "Father also wants to learn from Fan Ge Lao Zhishi?"
Zeng Heng was stunned: "Why did the prince say this? My lord is now in his prime, and he has won the trust of His Majesty......"
Xue Xingyi lowered his eyes slightly, and interrupted lightly: "In this case, it is impossible for me to be reused, it is not uncommon for a father and son to be officials in the same dynasty, but with His Majesty's employment habits, there is no father and son in a high position at the same time, and it is more beneficial for my father to leave Beijing, which my father himself understands, so he will let me enter the Hanlin Academy." β
Zeng Heng also wanted to persuade again: "Your Excellency will let you enter the Hanlin Academy for your own good, non-Jinshi will not enter the Hanlin Academy, and non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet. β
Xue Xingyi didn't seem to want to continue on this topic, so he didn't answer Zeng Heng's words: "You just came today to ask me about the progress of my apprenticeship?"
Zeng Heng knew Xue Xingyi's temper. Knowing that he was afraid that he was already impatient at the moment, he changed the topic according to his words: "I heard that Mr. Qiu took out the "Xuanyuan Testament"?"
Xue Xingyi sighed.
Zeng Heng said: "My lord means that even if you can't worship Mr. Qiu, please be sure to get this "Xuanyuan Testament". β
Xue Xingyi glanced at Zeng Heng when he heard this, and frowned: "Reason?"
Zeng Heng lowered his head and said: "The villain just came to pass a message to the son, and the reason is that the villain doesn't know." β
Xue Xingyi ignored Zeng Heng's answer, and after being silent for a moment, he asked, "When you infiltrated the Yang family, was it related to this book?"
Zeng Heng bowed his head and was silent.
Xue Xingyi continued: "Father asked me to talk to ...... I remember my father once asked me what ancient books were in Master Yang's study. And she is the only one in the Yang family who can enter and exit Master Yang's study at will. β
Zeng Heng still didn't say a word.
Here, after He Linwan heard Xue Xingyi's words, he couldn't help but set off a huge wave in his heart. She recalled that Xue Xingyi had indeed asked her grandfather if there were any ancient books in his study, and she knew that he was not very interested in them, thinking that he just had nothing to talk about when he was with her. So she randomly picked a topic she liked so that the two would not be cold, so she also casually replied to the titles of a few of his ancient books and then moved to the topic he was interested in, but she didn't expect that Xue Yuancheng asked Xue Xingyi to investigate.
He Linwan felt a little ridiculous, so she really laughed.
Li Yu turned his head and glanced at He Linwan. He frowned, but said nothing.
Xue Xingyi's still cold voice sounded next door: "Sue sΓΉ father I know." Go back. β
Zeng Heng lowered his head and responded.
Xue Xingyi ignored Zeng Heng and left the room.
He Linwan listened to the sound of the door opening next door, and saw Xue Xingyi's figure walking out of the window again, and then the footsteps gradually disappeared. He Linwan and Li Yu did not move. It wasn't until Xue Xingyi walked away that Zeng Heng also came out of the next room, closed the door and left.
There was no noise outside. Li Yu also turned around to leave through the same door where he came.
"Wait-" He Lin called out to Li Yu.
Li Yu didn't hear it and continued to walk forward.
He Linwan waited for Li Yu to walk to the door and said, "Shizi, what about the marriage hexagram you asked Mr. Qiu to calculate?"
Li Yu paused.
He Linwan continued: "You are so sure that Yang Weizhen is not her. Is it because Mr. Qiu sued you that she was still alive?"
Li Yu said coldly: "What do you have to do with it!" But he finally stopped and didn't move forward.
He Linwan sighed in his heart: "It's me who has nothing to do with me, I just want to ask the prince to do me a favor." β
Li Yu turned around and looked at He Linwan coldly: "Why should I help you?
He Linwan walked over to Li Yu, with a little apology on his face: "I apologize to Shizi for the slap I just made, I was also angry at the time to do it, after all, any woman was ...... like that by a man But now I also understand that Shizi did that to help me at that time. If the son of the world is still unhappy in his heart, he can call back, and I have no complaints. β
After He Linwan finished speaking, he looked at Li Yu earnestly.
Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Don't give me this set, you want me to help, instead of pretending to be low and small in front of me like this, it's better to tell the truth and exchange what I need." β
He Linwan looked at Li Yu and smiled suddenly, and then put away the apology on his face and restored his previous indifference: "Since the prince likes to go straight, then let's go straight." I want to get that copy of Xuanyuan's Testament. β
Li Yu didn't express any dissatisfaction with He Linwan's face change speed, as if he already knew that the laughing girl in front of him was a person with two faces and three knives.
Li Yu raised his eyebrows at this He Linwan: "Reason?"
He Linwan thought for a while: "I just listened to the words of the two people next door, I don't like the people of the Xue family very much, so I don't want them to get their wish, does the prince think this reason is okay?"
Li Yu looked at He Linwan, and a mist seemed to slowly condense in his deep eyes, making it impossible to see his feelings clearly, just when He Linwan thought that he was not satisfied with this answer and wanted to say something more, Li Yu suddenly said softly: "It's okay to ask me for help, but what are you going to exchange with me?"
He Linwan pondered for a moment. pondered the conditions that might impress Li Yu in her heart, but found that she couldn't offer anything valuable to exchange with Li Yu. She thought about using the person in Li Yu's heart to deceive Li Yu, and she really planned to do so when she stopped Li Yu just now.
But when it came to the end, He Linwan found that he was a little speechless. What can she sue Li Yu? Using herself to deceive and use Li Yu to help her will make her feel that she is very inferior.
He Linwan sighed, smiled slightly bitterly, and simply asked Li Yu: "What does the prince want? As long as I can do it." I will not shirk. β
Li Yu suddenly smiled. looked at He Linwan with some amusement: "You know what I want is her whereabouts, why don't you exchange this with me? Even if you lie to me, I don't know if it's true or not, so this price is the lowest." β
He Linwan couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this. But she just paused, and said without changing her face: "I can lie to you, but I'm afraid that I can't bear the consequences of lying to you, and my mother will be retributed for telling too many lies." β
Li Yu's deep eyes looked at He Linwan without blinking: "Really, then you agree to whatever conditions I propose?"
He Linwan thought for a while: "I can do it." β
Li Yu nodded: "Okay." I want you to take off your clothes. β
He Linwan was stunned at first when he heard this, and when he reacted to what Li Yu said, a surge of anger surged in his heart. She looked at Li Yu's face that did not change and said such obscene words, and was thinking about whether to slap him again, but Li Yu glanced at He Linwan with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, I don't have weird hobbies." I'm just trying to figure out one thing, and I'll naturally arrange for a woman to confirm it when the time comes. β
He Linwan knew that she was being teased by Li Yu, but this time she was not angry. Instead, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought she knew what Li Yu wanted to confirm, there was a crescent-shaped red birthmark on her back when she was still Yang Weizhen. Li Yu may just want to make sure if she has this birthmark on her back. Could it be that Li Yu suspected that she was the person she was at the beginning? How did he suspect it? Her age and appearance didn't match, right? He Linwan couldn't have appeared in the Yang family's courtyard at that time.
It's a pity that Li Yu doesn't know that she has changed her body, Yang Weizhen has a birthmark on her back, but He Linwan doesn't.
Wait!
How did Li Yu know that she had a birthmark on her back?
He Linwan looked at Li Yu with a strange expression.
Li Yu looked at He Linwan fixedly and said, "What?
He Linwan was shocked in his heart, but for fear of arousing Li Yu's suspicions, he still didn't show his feelings, and nodded coldly: "If you help me get that book, you can find a woman to confirm it at that time." β
He Linwan thought that it would be good if he could use this to get Li Yu to eliminate suspicion of her, he would die one day if he couldn't find that person.
Li Yu smiled slightly, with a puzzled expression: "How do you want me to help you?"
He Lin said lately: "If you want to get that "Xuanyuan Testament", you can't let Xue Xingyi become Qiu Yu's student, so ......"
Li Yu interrupted He Linwan's words: "I will not worship the Holy Gate." β
He Linwan glanced at Li Yu when he heard this, and smiled very reservedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Qiu is very demanding." β
Do you think that if you want Mr. Qiu's student, Mr. Qiu, to accept it?
Li Yu frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked at He Linwan's eyes, and the black aura began to gradually permeate: "So...... Do you think I'm not as good as Xue Xingyi?"
He Linwan couldn't help but be speechless.
Although she was slandered by Li Yu's caution, He Linwan was still very smart enough to know that she must not say that she was inferior to another man in front of a man, she still wanted Li Yu's help, and she couldn't offend him at this time.
So He Lin said in a gentle and euphemistic tone: "Shizi misunderstood, since the last time I tried Shizi's martial arts, I knew that Shizi had been in Taoguang for all these years, so it was naturally not good to show his true talent on the outside, so it was impossible to worship the Holy Gate, so I would have said so." β
Li Yu looked at He Linwan lightly, snorted coldly, seemed to accept He Linwan's statement, and finally revealed the topic with great compassion: "Then how do you want me to help you?"
He Linwan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's not good for the prince to worship the Holy Gate, but someone can." β
Li Yu glanced at He Linwan lightly.
He Linwan continued: "For example...... Mu Gongzi. β
Li Yu glanced at He Linwan: "Since you want Shao Ai to help, why don't you go directly to him." β
He Linwan said frankly: "I am not familiar with Mu Gongzi, so it is better to ask him for help directly, it is better for Shizi to be a lobbyist." β
He Linwan's words didn't know what made Li Yu happy, and the corners of his lips curled: "It's not impossible for me to persuade Shao Ai, but if he replaces Xue Xingyi and becomes Mr. Qiu's student, then the "Xuanyuan Testament" should naturally belong to him, even I can't let him give the book to you." β
He Linwan smiled slightly when he heard this, with a little pride: "I know this, but please forgive me for being blunt, even if Mu Gongzi learns well, he may not be able to worship the Holy Gate, if I help him, it will be different." And my conditions are simple, just that book. β
Li Yu's dark eyes looked at He Linwan without blinking, not knowing whether he was looking at her or looking at someone through her.
Seeing that Li Yu didn't speak, He Lin frowned and called softly: "Shizi?"
Li Yu lowered his eyes and said lightly: "With Shao Ai's pride, he won't want you to help." β
He Linwan really doesn't know Mu Zhizhen as a person, and in her opinion, any scholar will want to worship a gentleman like Qiu Yu, because this means that the future career will be very smooth for the scholar. However, He Linwan didn't doubt Li Yu's words when he heard Li Yu say this, after all, Li Yu knew Mu Zhizhen better than her relationship.
So He Linwan thought for a while and said, "The prince of the world will persuade Mu Gongzi to fight first, and then how about the book after the matter?"
If Mu Zhizhen became Mr. Qiu's student by her own ability, as long as the book was not in the hands of the Xue family for the time being, she would find another way in the future. She just couldn't "Xuanyuan's Testament" fall into Xue Yuancheng's hands, although she didn't know what was in that book that made Xue Yuancheng go to such great trouble.
Li Yu nodded: "Okay, as long as you don't forget to promise me something." Let's go, it's a foregone conclusion if you don't go out again. After saying this, Li Yu went out first.
He Linwan waited for a while, waiting for Li Yu's footsteps to be far away, and then came out of the house and walked in the direction of the flower hall.
I didn't want to see Li Yu standing not far away before I arrived at the flower hall, and I glanced back at her.
He Linwan thought that Li Yu still had something to say to her, so she walked over and whispered, "Shizi?" (to be continued)
