Xue Rui saw that Yu Shu's expression was different, so he asked her, "What's wrong?"

Yu Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I found out that I had done something stupid."

When she estimated the eight-character disaster of King Xiang before, it was based on the signs of King Xiang's life and his recent illness, and picked out a few of the matching ones from the sixty eight-character characters, and then did the calculation, who knew that King Xiang's illness was just an excuse, so the results she had worked hard to calculate would be overturned.

Her law of misfortune is based on complex number operations, and in complex number operations, a small mistake can cause a huge deviation in the result. Then she eradicated the wrong data and calculated several time periods when King Xiang might have lost his property, all of which could not be established.

When she saw King Xiang today, she was going to ask to confirm which of those time periods was accurate, so as to judge where King Xiang had lost something, but now, it was all in vain.

Tomorrow will be handed in, there is less than a day to see the king of Xiang, even if you are lucky to get the exact eight characters, after going back, you have to do careful calculations again, in order to calculate the time of the lost property, but only know the time, do not know the place, or to see the king of Xiang again, if she calculates the time in the middle of the night, where to meet the king of Xiang?

If there is another day, at most she has the cheekiness to beg Xue Rui to come again tomorrow, the key tomorrow is the deadline, all candidates will return to Taichengsi tomorrow morning to hand over the papers, this is a big Yan exam, no matter how unfair it is, it is also a serious exam, Xue Rui arranged for her to see this side, it is not easy, but she missed the opportunity.

One day, just one day.

"What's stupid?" Xue Rui asked puzzled.

Yu Shu shook his head, raised his hand to wipe his face, sighed lowly, and said: "This year, Dayan, I may have to return empty-handed, I made a mistake, even if I see the prince, it will be useless."

Yi Li is a subject, she is ordinary and only enough to deal with the astrological subject, she didn't refer to it in order to frame Ji Xingxuan, she put all her bets on thaumaturgy a subject, for Bo to have the title of Yi Shi, but in the end, she stumbled and pitted herself.

Yu Shu's mind suddenly came to mind that day in the Peiren Pavilion, Wen Shao'an said "the bamboo basket is empty", could it be that she is now?

Xue Rui didn't know why Yu Shu was troubled, but when he heard this sentence, he actually felt disheartened, and he didn't look like he was full of confidence just now, he frowned secretly, wanted to ask carefully, wanted to persuade him, but when the words came to his mouth, his mind turned around, and it became a sentence:

"It's not like you when you don't succeed."

There was no trace of sarcasm or contempt in his tone, but Yu Shu heard a trace of disappointment from his words.

"Then you say, how do you look like me?" Raising her head, she asked.

"If you don't go to the Yellow River, you won't give up, and if you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears." Xue Rui looked at her with two eyes, and there was a faint smile between his sparse eyebrows.

Yu Shu's heart moved, he was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not enough to die and cry now, it's true that there is nothing to do."

Xue Rui said: "Then find a way, there is still time, isn't it tomorrow to hand in the papers." If you haven't figured out what to say and ask when you see the prince, we will stop at the door of the Dingbo Pavilion later, and then enter to see you when you think about it.

Yu Shu said depressedly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to think of any other way for a while."

"Don't be discouraged just yet..." Xue Rui took away the cold tea in her hand, and changed a cup of hot stuff to the concubine, and said:

"Think about it, you must have a way."

Yu Shu looked at Xue Rui, who was firm in tone, and didn't know where he got his confidence, but after his words, his impetuous heart just now calmed down, and he covered his hands with a hot cup, and his brain turned normally again.

In addition to the law of calamity, she has no idea where to start with this question, do you want to use the six lines to divinate the king of Xiang, yes, it is not as accurate as her blindness.

Really, if she had been more cautious at the beginning and hadn't arbitrarily judged King Xiang's illness because of the pretexts and rumors of the palace, she wouldn't have been so passive and forced herself to this now.

Xue Rui saw that she had the spirit again, put her mind at ease, stopped persuading, and let her think nonsense.

The more I wanted time to slow down, the faster time would run, and the carriage came to the street in front of the Dingbo Pavilion, and Yu Shu was still at a loss.

Xue Rui didn't urge her, so he asked the coachman to stop on the side of the road, he turned one out of nowhere, lifted the half-corner window to borrow light to look through it, and passed the time.

After waiting for a stick of incense, I heard Yu Shu say, "Let's go."

Xue Rui put down the book: "Came up with it?"

Yu Shu shook his head very lightly, and said, "No, see the prince first, and then say, instead of sitting here and using my brain and not doing anything, maybe I can ask about the situation in person, I can have an idea."

Xue Rui laughed and said, "Okay."

The two got out of the car and walked a few steps to the door of the Dingbo Pavilion, Xue Rui let the concierge go in Tongbing, there was no need to queue up, and he didn't hand over the post, and after a while, the steward stepped on the snow and ran out, and saluted with a smile:

"Eldest prince, please come in and wait."

"Lead the way." Xue Rui lifted the corner of his robe and crossed the threshold, he didn't see any politeness to this steward, Yu Shu was not as comfortable as him, so he nodded and smiled at this steward.

"Yes."

It's so easy to see, it really makes Yu Shu feel emotional, I want her to see the old housekeeper of the Xiang Palace, and she spent four hundred taels of silver before and after, and waited for three days, and now she wants to see the King of Xiang, but a few words, no wonder Feng Zhaomiao has to ask her to go to Xue Rui for help, this is called a related household.

This Dingbo Pavilion, Yu Shu once came to Xue Rui, and she still remembers the scene when Xue Dashao had an argument with the Seventh Prince that day, gambled with wine, and broke up unhappily.

After a heavy snowfall, this garden is very different from the last time she came, there is no spring green in the four seasons, and it looks elegant when dressed in silver, and there is another fun to watch.

The steward led the way in front, and he didn't walk with his head bored, and turned his head to talk to Xue Rui:

"The eldest prince is here by coincidence, and the county lord is also here, so he came to you for a while, and he is sitting in the incense hall, waiting for the prince to sleep."

Xue Rui paused, "The county lord is also there?"

"Yes, someone came to report just now, and when the county lord heard that you were coming, he was very happy, and urged the little one to take you to the incense hall to talk."

Yu Shu was listening curiously, county lord? Is he the county lord of the Xiang Palace?

Xue Rui seemed to know her doubts, and turned his head to her and said, "Lord Xiwen is the daughter of the prince, born from my aunt, and the younger sister of the son of the world."

"Kiln."

Xue Rui asked the steward who led the way: "Is the county lord alone, or did he bring someone else?"

The steward said, "I brought a young lady with me."

Xue Rui and Yu Shu glanced at each other, knowing in their hearts that this must be the same as them, "going through the back door".

While talking, a slightly longer flower path in the past, I saw a three-room hall sitting in the verandah, the snow in front of the road was cleared, the red curtain on the door was released, and a silver plaque was hung on it, making the word "grinding incense".

Under the eaves in front of the door stood two obedient maidservants, dressed in pink coats and leather jackets, and looked well-behaved, and before they came to the door of the hall, they saluted first, and then one rolled up the curtain, and the other lifted the corner of the curtain, and reported to them on the other hand, and invited them in.

"County Lord, the eldest prince is here."

Yu Shu followed Xue Rui in, half of his body was wrong, and looked inside, the two women in front of the tea party got up, and the delicate girl who was smiling up to meet her felt familiar, and she didn't look closely, so she was attracted by the green gauze behind her.

What kind of fate is this, she can meet her twice when she comes to the Dingbo Pavilion

"Brother Rui, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing?" The county lord of Xiwen stood in front of Xue Rui with a smile, and the pink fox scarf around her neck lined her with delicate colors, her eyes were white, and she smiled, innocent, inorganic and innocent.

"Well, I have rested at home for a few days," Xue Rui didn't plan to mention Mrs. Xue's illness, he also saw Ji Xingxuan in the hall, his eyes flashed, and he was about to ask, Xi Wen had already turned his head and introduced:

"Brother Rui, this is the daughter of the Si Tianjian Ji Right Judge, the fourth lady of the Ji family, and she is very good with me, Star Swirl, this is me"

"County Lord, I've seen Lord Xue," Ji Xingxuan interrupted Xi Wen's introduction in a soft voice, stepped forward, first bowed to Xue Rui, and then explained to Xi Wen, who looked confused:

"Previously, Lord Xue handled cases in Taishi Shuyuan, and he had a few meetings."

Hearing this, Yu Shuxin said interestingly, of course Ji Xingxuan and Xue Rui knew each other, but it was not because of the investigation of the case, but because of the marriage of the pit father, she had already met in Yiyang, and she was also fortunate to be present at that time, as one of the parties.

However, without waiting for her to think about it more, Ji Xingxuan turned her head again, saluted her, and said:

"Hello Lianfang girl."

Yu Shu wondered, this Ji Xingxuan had taken the wrong medicine, and it wasn't that he didn't know her, what did he call her to do with that fake name?

When Xi Wen heard this, she shifted her attention to the person behind Xue Rui, but when she saw that it was a young man who was not good-looking, she heard Ji Xingxuan call her a "girl", so she couldn't help frowning, and turned to ask Xue Rui:

"Who is this one?"

"Friend," Xue Rui replied briefly, glancing at Ji Xingxuan, who wondered why she was called that, just like Yu Shu.

"Oh," just now someone came in to report that Xi Wen knew that Xue Rui had also brought someone to see her father, and she guessed with Ji Xingxuan that it was because of the exam, and she didn't want him to bring a woman here.

Lotus girl, the name Lotus Fang sounded familiar, and so on—she remembered

Xi Wen glanced at Yu Shu twice, and before Xue Rui noticed anything, someone outside the door said:

"The county lord, the eldest prince, the prince is up, please come to the East Pavilion to talk."

"Zhilu said," Xi Wen replied, turned her head and smiled at Xue Rui: "I came first today, everything has a first come, you just wait a little later, when we meet our father, you can bring this Lianfang girl over."

Xue Rui thought about it, saw Yu Shu's indifferent look, and said, "It's okay, you go first."

So Xi Wen took Ji Xingxuan to take the first step, Xue Rui and Yu Shu sat down in the hall, drank hot tea, didn't talk much, and didn't mention anything about Ji Xingxuan, knowing that this was not the place to talk.
