Mu Qing felt a little inexplicable, as long as Dali Siqing came over, he was not a special judge, the people would definitely not believe him, even if he was really called over at that time, I am afraid it would be useless.

She just shrugged her shoulders, "Anyway, the matter has been settled, and nothing big has happened, so you don't have to worry so much." ”

"Don't believe me?"

Bai Lichen's tone was a little colder, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

I was kind enough to help, but this woman was angry? I really don't know what to do.

In his opinion, those who control those who have no king's law can only be sent to Dali Temple for trial.

After a lawsuit, they will feel scared, otherwise they will not give up.

Bai Lichen understands Mu Qing's personality one-sidedly, and she didn't think that this matter would make her grateful to herself, but who knew that in exchange for her doubts.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter doesn't need to be so big." Mu Qing looked at him a little strangely, what has this man been stimulated by recently? Why is it so weird?

And Mu Qing's attitude of not being very willing to explain made Bai Lichen seem to be nosy.

He didn't say anything more, turned around and went out slowly, Mu Qing was even more blindsided in the back, she just didn't want to trouble others, so was it wrong?

"Are men so yin and yang now? I didn't ask him for help, how can I make it seem like I've done something wrong, it's really strange......" Mu Qing is the monk of Zhanger was confused, and looked at Bai Lichen's back a little strangely.

But she still has to settle accounts now, and she doesn't have time to deal with him.

After this incident, Bai Lichen has never shown up.

At this time, Mu Qing didn't have a sense of crisis, but he was a little anxious, "The third prince hasn't come over for a few days, isn't Niangniang just going to take a look?" ”

Mu Qing remembered the way he left coldly that night, and felt that he hadn't offended him much, so why did she want her to coax him first?

And Mu Qing felt that he was not much wrong with this matter at all, Bai Lichen might be busy with other things, so he shouldn't care about this matter.

Thinking of this, she waved her hand and shook her head and said, "No, as long as you don't find those people to rob me of the family property, the rest is easy to say." ”

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do." Mu Qing looked at Xin'er steadily, and said seriously, "Oh, you don't have to worry about the sky, what about your mother and me, I just want to make good money, let's not think about other things." ”

After saying this, she turned her head directly and stopped paying attention.

Now that it has come to this point, Xin'er really has no choice but to sigh and leave.

At the same time, Bai Lichen's side, he was also worried about this matter.

Danqing watched from the side, and his master had been sitting in front of the bookcase for an hour.

He didn't do anything in this hour, just flipping through the book in front of him over and over again, judging from the frequency of his flipping books, his heart should not be very calm.

He stood there for a moment, then turned and walked out.

At this time, Bai Lichen finally found him and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go down to the courtyard and take a look."

In fact, Bai Lichen didn't understand in his heart that Danqing's words were just a rhetoric at all, he frowned and asked, "How is the prince's side?" ”

Danqing paused and said: I heard that he is still being confined to his feet. ”

I see.

Bai Lichen felt a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was understandable, and smiled hehe, "It seems that the queen's side has not come up with a good way to save him for the time being." ”

Danqing paused, he didn't refute Bai Lichen's words, but after lowering his head and thinking about it there, he spoke again: "My subordinates heard that the matter of Peach Blossom Pavilion has a bad impact, some people say that they sell fake wine, and some people say that the people who make trouble may be coming for the third prince." ”

Bai Lichen's eyes drooped, and he said coldly, "Send a few people to keep an eye on the point secretly, and report to me in time if there is a situation." ”

"Yes, but ...... The princess ...... there"

Danqing wanted to speak and stopped, he had been with Bailichen for many years, although the relationship between the two was not bad, but there were some things that should be said and should not be said.

"She? If you don't suffer a little loss, you won't have a long memory, besides, her little head always has strange ideas, do you think she only has this way to make money? ”

Bai Lichen was not worried about the business of Peach Blossom Pavilion being affected at all, and he ignored this girl recently because the dog bit Lu Dongbin.

He couldn't say why, he should have felt very relaxed about Mu Qing's approach, but he felt a little lost in his heart.

He stood up and walked to the window, reaching out and opening it.

Outside the window was a deep blue sky, with a bright moon hanging in the sky, and the cold moonlight looked clean, but it was soon covered by dark clouds.

Like where he is now......

In the splendid palace, a man in a dark blue court dress stepped into the threshold of the main hall, hunched his back slightly, and walked slowly until he stopped in front of a person in a bright yellow court robe.

The person in the dark blue court dress was Mrs. Liu.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already found out about the imperial examination." He directly held the already written book in both hands, held it above his head, and presented it very respectfully.

That's all there is to it.

The emperor opened the book and looked at it carefully, and his face changed one by one.

Mrs. Liu explained on the side: "Li Shangshu forbade the students because those students refused to listen to his orders and befriended him. According to Weichen, his plan is to win over these students, once these students are won over by him, they will get their results in the future and become officials in the court, and they will become the power of Shangshu. ”

It is normal to form gangs, and there are forces in the court that are hostile and check and balance each other, which is also what the emperor is very happy to see. However, if you want to develop your own power, you must do so under the premise of maintaining imperial power.

In other words, once the imperial power is threatened, no matter what the reason is, it is unacceptable.

Therefore, Li Shangshu did such a thing, and the emperor was furious when he heard it, "This person is so bold and dares to do these things under my nose, it seems that I am really too kind to him." ”

Hearing the emperor say this, Mrs. Liu knew that he was determined to rectify it.

So he continued very respectfully: "This time, Weichen has already compiled the list for the emperor, and this matter is widely implicated, and the emperor is asked to solve it as soon as possible." ”

The emperor listened to Mrs. Liu say this, so he flipped through the memorabilia, and when he reached the last two pages, he found the list he had already sorted out.

These lists are from the officials who participated in the imperial examination to the students who participated in this examination, and Mrs. Liu has sorted them out meticulously.

He took a look at it, and although it proved that he didn't fully know the people in it, several people he knew were basically the prince's henchmen.

In other words, this matter may not be separated from the prince.

Thinking about it, if there was only one Li Shangshu, it would be impossible to make such a big wave, and now it seems that Li Shangshu is so bold and reckless because of the support of the prince.

The emperor's face became more and more ugly, but in the end, it was unpredictable, he had been looking at this list for a long time, and he didn't make any statement.

Mrs. Liu's heart also followed, and she didn't know what the emperor would decide.

I don't know how long it took, but finally he spoke up and made his decision after careful consideration, "Let those who have been banned from the exam be reinstated." ”

And then there was no follow-up.

Mrs. Liu stood there and waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the emperor's next order, so he nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Just as he was about to withdraw, he suddenly heard a voice from behind, "Call the prince." ”

The prince was soon found.

He had an uneasy heart, and vaguely felt that this time it seemed to be passed on to him, and it was not so simple.

He saluted when he stood in front of the emperor, and then lowered his head as if he had done something wrong.

The emperor looked at him with a cold face, "Do you know why I called you over?" ”

Looking at the emperor's face, the prince's heart tightened, and a bad premonition came to his heart, he pretended to be calm and said respectfully:

"I don't know."

As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly heard a voice above his head, and the voice was a little majestic.

"Of course you don't know!"

Before the prince could react, suddenly, a letter was thrown directly in front of him.

"Li Shangshu's affairs involve a lot, how many of the lists that have been investigated are your protégés and strategists?" The emperor looked at the crown prince with eyes like a knife, flashing with a sharp cold light, "I didn't expect that you were grounded, and you could still stretch your hand to the court, I see that you can't wait to take over my throne!" ”

Hearing the emperor's majestic reprimand, the prince trembled with fright, trembling, and did not dare to say a word.

"What's wrong? Am I wrong? The emperor was so angry that his whole face turned blue.

The prince paused for a long time before he spit out half a sentence with difficulty, "Don't dare...... Father......

"Don't dare? I'm not dead yet, you want to control the government, what else do you not dare, I think your ambition is very big! ”

The emperor stood in front of the prince and reprimanded the prince fiercely for a while, and when he saw the prince lying there motionless, he was probably really scared stupid by himself, so he didn't dwell on it any longer, and left with his sleeves in a huff.

Above the main hall, only the crown prince was still kneeling, his clothes already soaked with sweat.
