Chapter 242: Cheating
The second day was the day of the scientific expedition, and Chu Lingyi went out with Liuyun early in the morning. They had to send Xu Tianhong safely to the examination room, and Mu Li was still planning what to say to the emperor after entering the palace.
"I'll go to the shop and get some pastries and send them to Thirteen, so as not to say that I won't see him when I enter the palace." As long as Mu Li enters the palace, he will always bring Chu Ziyi some pastries outside the palace. Who let Chu Ziyi and Mu Li chat, there are always endless topics to talk about when the two of them are together.
Mu Li knew that today was the day of Xu Tianhong's scientific examination, but his own affairs had to be put first, and the matter of the side concubine had not been resolved, so Mu Li was not in the mood to send Xu Tianhong into the examination room. Before entering the palace, Mu Li played a sideline game with Chu Lingyi, but he didn't meet him.
"In a while, you go to the Thirteenth Master first, and I will go to the emperor. When the time comes, we will meet at the gate of the palace. Mu Li straightened his clothes and prepared to meet the emperor.
Today is the triennial imperial examination, and the palace is also very lively, and everyone is guessing who will come out on top. However, Mu Li didn't have time to join in the fun, she just wanted the emperor to take back her life.
"Lord Jin, aren't you going to the examination room today, why are you still hanging around here, so you are not afraid of delaying the hour?"
Mu Li heard that someone was calling Lord Jin, and wondered if it was the Lord Jin that Chu Lingyi mentioned one day. Mu Li hurriedly hid, intending to hear what was going on.
"I said, father-in-law, why do you care about everything. Anyone who has to go to the toilet as soon as they go to the exam room, I will go right away. ”
Mu Li covered his mouth and smiled, why didn't he do it. If you meet a nervous person, you have to go to the toilet, you must know that every year in the college entrance examination, Mu Li can see strange things on the news that someone faints or has a nervous seizure. However, it was the first time for Mu Li to see a chronic son like Lord Jin, and he thought it was a little interesting.
I saw that after the father-in-law left, Jin Wuhe kept stuffing things into his sleeve, and Mu Li stood in the corner and couldn't see what it was. However, Mu Li didn't bother to care, and was ready to meet the emperor. Just as Mu Li turned to leave, he saw a few pages of rice paper falling from Jin Wuhe's sleeve, and Mu Li picked them up after waiting for him to go away.
Mu Li took a closer look, "Isn't this the exam question, how did he get it?" Mu Li thought that he still had to meet the emperor, and he didn't have time to care about Jin Wuhe's affairs for a while.
"See the Emperor."
"Hurry up, please."
The emperor was still so polite to Mu Li, and his mood when he saw Mu Li was immediately better, but the emperor also had a small expression on his face. Chu Lingyi's matter of accepting the concubine, the emperor originally disagreed, because after all, it was related to Mu Li. But who knew that the courtiers also knew, and they all put pressure on the emperor and Chu Lingyi, and the emperor had to issue an order for Chu Lingyi to marry Mu Jing.
"Does the emperor remember that he owes me a favor?"
The emperor naturally remembered, and kept thinking about Mu Li and didn't know what kind of grace he would want. But seeing Mu Li today, the emperor can probably guess a few points, I'm afraid it's for Chu Lingyi's concubine.
"Of course I remember, but except for the matter of the concubine." Before Mu left the mouth, the emperor refused what Mu Li asked for.
"Why? Emperor? "Mu Li really doesn't understand, why do you have to force Chu Lingyi to take a side concubine, and she is also the second lady of Shangshu Mansion, this is obviously Mu Li's opposite." Your Majesty, this is what you promised me at the beginning, the gentleman is hard to chase after a word, don't you ......" Mu Li immediately stepped back, she knew that her attitude was a little excessive, and she shouldn't talk to the emperor like this.
"Mu Li, I know that this matter is indeed embarrassing for you, but I can't help it. Although this is my world, I ...... Chu Ziheng is also embarrassed by this matter, as the emperor, his foundation is not stable enough, he can't do it according to his own heart, he can only listen to the ideas of most courtiers.
"But this matter is not impossible, as long as the second lady of Shangshu Mansion is not happy, I will naturally cancel this marriage. However, looking at Lord Shangshu's appearance, it seems that he is determined to marry the second lady into the prince's mansion. Anyway, you're all sisters, and it's better than everyone else. ”
What the emperor saw was superficial, and Shangshu Mansion was no longer his home in Mu Li's eyes. Mu Li and Mu Jing have always been at odds, but outsiders don't know, and it seems that the grace Mu Li wants can only be done.
"Emperor Xie reminds." Mu Li suddenly felt that what the emperor said was not unreasonable, since Lord Shangshu had to send Mu Jing to the prince's mansion, Mu Li was not as good as he wanted.
That's right, as long as Mu Jing explained to the emperor that she didn't want to enter the prince's mansion, Mu Li suddenly felt as if he had heard a great piece of good news, and jumped out of the palace.
"Princess, the thirteenth master is clamoring to see you, so I have to bring him here."
Chu Ziyi heard that the prince wanted to accept the side concubine, so he was afraid that Mu Li would not be able to think about it, so he didn't rush to comfort Mu Li. How do you know that the smile on Mu Li's face is not like a sad person at all. "I'm going out of the palace, we'll talk next time."
"Imperial sister-in-law, I know you're sad, but you don't have to be like this, it's a big deal that you move in with me in the future, and I welcome you here at any time."
"What do you little devil know, who said I was sad." Mu Li was in a hurry to leave the palace, she almost forgot that today was the day of Xu Tianhong's imperial examination, so she had to cheer him up.
Chu Ziyi and Qing Kite were stunned.
Mu Li saw from a distance that the queen was coming to the emperor, so he immediately said goodbye to Chu Ziyi. She didn't want to meet this rival, lest she wouldn't be able to get out of the palace today.
"Hmph, you go fast, but you'll be crying soon." The queen is still proud of the things she controls, because Mu Jing will definitely marry into the prince's mansion as scheduled, and then Mu Li will lose Chu Lingyi's sole favor and become a poor person.
When Mu Li rushed to the examination room, Xu Tianhong had already entered, and only Chu Lingyi was still outside. After Mu Li told Chu Lingyi what he saw, Chu Lingyi asked Mu Li not to make a statement, maybe Mu Li made a mistake. You must know that slandering court officials is a big crime.
"I'm telling the truth, you see." Mu Li remembered that he had also picked up the paper that Jin Wuhe had fallen, which was obviously the test question of the exam.
"Well, it won't." Chu Lingyi couldn't believe his eyes, although this was only part of the test question, he knew at a glance that it was the question of the imperial examination. Chu Lingyi really didn't expect Jin Wuhe to do such a thing, but the imperial examination has begun, and Chu Lingyi is not an official of this imperial examination, so he can't go in.
"What should we do now, should we immediately report this matter to the emperor and let the emperor arrest this person. Cheating, this is too much, and he must be put in jail. ”
Mu Li hates this kind of person the most, it is easy to give Xu Tianhong a fair chance, how can he let Jin Wuhe destroy it.
"No, it's just your guess, wait until the imperial examination is over." Although Chu Lingyi also wanted to know whether Jin Wuhe was involved in cheating, after all, the exam had just begun, and the entire scientific examination could not be affected because of this uncertain thing.
