Chapter 102: The Past

"Sister Zhi, if something really happened to Sister Xiaomei, it would be all my fault. I shouldn't have pushed her, and if I hadn't pushed her, maybe we'd both be fine. ”

"No, it's not. Little Lian'er, it's not your fault. Moori whispered to reassure Molian.

"Okay, let's stop crying."

Life is like that, it's unpredictable. No one knows when they will regret it, regret what they have said, regret what they have done.

Xiao Lian'er, no one can know what is the right decision, no one can know the future. So, don't blame yourself and don't blame yourself.

——

Chu Yueqing's matter was not publicized, except for a few henchmen, the subordinates in the palace also knew very little. First, the reason why the princess disappeared inexplicably for several days is not good, and rumors may spread when it spreads. Chu Yueqing not only lost his reputation, but if the old emperor knew, it was estimated that a holy book would allow Chu Yueqing to go down to the church and always accompany the ancient Buddha of the green light.

Again, Xuanyuan Hao can't come forward openly now. If Chu Yueqing has an accident now, even if he does his best to defend it, it will be difficult to block everyone's mouth. And in the past ten years, his reputation has plummeted, and there is no majesty to speak of. The overall situation must be slowly planned.

However, he didn't want to completely dust this matter to the bottom of the cliff. The mouth of the yoyo is difficult to adjust, and the people are unpredictable. If he blindly hides, it is difficult to ensure that someone with ill intentions deliberately adds fuel to this matter and adds vinegar to it, but it will hurt Qingqing.

Therefore, what he has to do is to investigate the matter thoroughly, focus on anti-customer, and strike first.

Early the next morning, Xuanyuan Hao went to the study.

"Sir, what do you think of Qian Tu?" Xuanyuan Hao asked Zhang Yan, that is, Steward Zhang.

The two met at a Lantern Festival twelve years ago. When Xuanyuan Hao first met Zhang Yan, he was depressed because of the failure of the autumn exam, and his life was also poor.

Zhang Yan's family lives in a small village called Linzhong Village, 500 miles away from the capital. He was the only one in Linzhong Village, and the whole village scraped together enough silver taels to let him go to Beijing to participate in the scientific expedition. However, he offended the powerful as soon as he arrived in Beijing, and was stumbled in the examination room and fell to Sun Shan.

Not only that, because he was framed for cheating. Zhang Yan was also stripped of his status as a lifter by the invigilator at the time. And you can't participate in scientific research for the rest of your life.

The autumn exam takes place in September, and the spring exam takes place in March of the following year. At first, Zhang Yan did not know that he was deprived of the right to conduct scientific research. I'm still thinking about waiting for next year's spring exam to take it again.

The spring test is not as grand as the autumn test, and it is mainly martial arts. However, because the scientific examination is once every three years, if you miss one time, you will have to wait for another three years. When the ancestors were in power. In the name of 'the pearl in the sea', a policy has been introduced, and those who have not passed the autumn examination, or those who have not passed the autumn examination, or those who participate in the autumn examination, can be given another chance during the spring examination, and a small examination hall has been set up.

Zhang Yan lived in the cheapest wing room in Yunlaiju and studied hard every day. I didn't expect to sign up in February. was told that he was robbed of his status and could not participate in the scientific examination for the rest of his life.

Zhang Yan was penniless at that time, had no way to conduct scientific examinations, and his reputation was discredited. He felt shameless to see his father and elders in the village again, and wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river when he was ashamed.

That day happened to be the Lantern Festival, and the fifth prince Xuanyuan Hao at that time was still the darling of the sky. On a whim, he asked Ding Yi to take him out of the palace to play.

The two formed a master-servant relationship.

Zhang Yan has real skills, is informal, and after experiencing a scientific examination, he has more shrewdness in his bones. As I get older, I see people more accurately.

Xuanyuan Hao asked, clearly trying to pull Qian Tu into their camp.

Steward Zhang thought for a moment and said, "My subordinates have inquired about him." Qian Tu did not specify which party he joined, as if he was neutral. Moreover, in the past few years, Jing Zhaoyin's position has long been equated with a fictitious position, and all the larger cases are basically decided by Dali Temple. Several parties in Beijing don't seem to want to win him over, if the prince intends to win over this person, his subordinates will go to find out his tone for the prince. ”

"No need, invite him to the house. I've got something to look for him. Xuanyuan Hao groaned, "He is Jing Zhaoyin who was personally sealed by his father. ”

When Steward Zhang heard this, he understood. Jing Zhaoyin, who was personally crowned by the emperor, must have already been investigated. And when Qian Tu became Jing Zhaoyin, he was only a weak champion, and his talent was inevitably good.

Steward Zhang said yes and withdrew. Called the little guy to go to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion.

After an hour, Steward Zhang led Qian Tu to the palace together. Accompanied by Ou Shiqiu and Yu Wuxiao.

Yu Wuxiao came to find an opportunity to ask Chu Yueqing about Zhao Wan. However, he is a foreign man. No matter what the reason, it is impossible to be alone with the princess of the palace.

"King Hao, Wu Xiao is with his parents who will come to the house to visit him next. Wu Xiao grew up in Yuling Villa since he was a child, and his parents regarded him as their son. "Ou Shiqiu covered for Yu Wuxiao. They had long known from Xiao Dong that the Spring Pavilion was very far from the Bamboo Heart Courtyard.

Even if you don't go in, it's convenient to let Xiaodong help pass the word.

"Shiqiu doesn't have to be polite, my word is Ming'an. I'm two years older than you, and if you don't mind, you can call me brother. Xuanyuan Hao said.

"Brother Ming'an," Ou Shiqiu arched his hand, "Shiqiu went to see his parents with Wu Xiao first. ”

"Okay."

After Ou Shiqiu and Yu Wuxiao left, Xuanyuan Hao sent everyone out and discussed with Qian Tu alone for a long time. It wasn't until the waning days that Qian Tu took Xiao Zhao and left the palace in a carriage.

In the bamboo heart courtyard, Dongmei was sitting on the square bench in the inner room, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.

Chu Yueqing rarely saw her like this, and quipped, "Yo, so shy." Did you do something bad with Xiao Xun's cousin? ”

"What bad things to do," Dongmei said, "he's so wooden, where can he do bad things." ”

When Chu Yueqing heard this, he was happy: "You want him to do bad things!" Haha, I'll send a little guy to give Xiao Xun's cousin a breath when I turn around! ”

"He doesn't necessarily understand it. Well, let's not talk about him. Dongmei was bold, and after determining her mind, she didn't care about these jokes, and she was already able to deal with it easily.

However, she didn't come to chat with Yueqing today, her eldest brother and Wuxiao entrusted her with an important task. Hey, it's better for her to explore the palace at night, after Yueqing was just stimulated by such a stimulus, she was anxious to ask her about the princess, would it be heartless? !

Chu Yueqing looked at Dongmei's embarrassed and tangled appearance, and had a guess in her heart, she said, "Do you have something to ask me?" ”

Dongmei nodded with difficulty.

"Then just ask, as long as I can say something, I won't hide it from you. You're so twisted, I don't look like you anymore. Chu Yueqing said, with his hands in front of his chest, his body half leaning on the head of the bed, looking generous and ridiculous.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. Wu Xiao, do you remember, he is the master behind the scenes. He wanted to ask me if you had seen Princess Cheng, could you depict what she looked like, or if you saw the portrait, could you come out as her? And is she very similar to her sister Zhao Yu?! Dongmei said these words in one breath, quickly and urgently.

After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued.) )
