Chapter XVIII: Crisis
She doesn't feel sorry for herself, but others feel sorry.
This is what Lu Xuan is most troubled but grateful for.
Seeing Rong Li's furrowed brows, she remembered that it was rare to see him angry.
"Lord Chen, he ...... I just saw it, and I didn't even say a word, he went to find someone else. β
I had to lie.
She's good at it anyway.
Rong Li's worry and anger did not subside, and he sighed.
"Okay, stay away from Chen Weizhi."
Rong Li didn't believe that the examiner who would meet the tribute student in private, what integrity did he have, since he was not a gentleman, then he should tell Lu Xuan to stay away.
Lu Xuan agreed.
The adult's misfortune was the pot on Chen Weizhi's back, and Lu Xuan didn't know what to say for a while.
Later, Lu Xuan found that Rong Li seemed to tell many people to stay away from Chen Weizhi, not because of anything else, but because she found that as soon as she mentioned Chen Weizhi in front of Lu Nanjun, Lu Nanjun didn't have a good face.
"Sister, how can he find you privately? Others don't know, and Sister herself doesn't pay attention? He said a few words, felt angry, and worried: "Sister must remember that she is a daughter." β
Lu Xuan was so helpless, Chen Weizhi was innocently made a scapegoat, and it was clear that there was someone else who entangled her that day.
However, she is not stupid, it is clear that there are other people, but the palace only dares to spread rumors about Chen Weizhi, and there is no rumor of that adult.
It proves that the position is high and powerful, and the imperial power is unfathomable.
If you want to prevent it, compared to Chen Weizhi, it is still more dangerous.
β¦β¦
Rui Brain Pins Golden Beast, Agarwood Smoke Fills, and the Sandalwood Incense in the Copper Sparrow Smoker Spits Out of the Sparrow's Beak, blurring Gu Yuanli's face.
"Lord Wang."
"This king heard that the palace was quite restless, what happened?"
Lin Wei shuddered, then leaned over and said, "It's outside, there are rumors about Grand Master Lu." β
He deliberately did not mention the content of the rumors, nor did Lu Xuan have rumors with anyone, mainly because he didn't want this master to ask more.
Without asking, he is not in danger.
If this person is not happy, then there is something to do.
Gu Yuanli didn't follow his wishes, the white handkerchief wiped away the long sword, and the chill instantly spread to every corner of the room.
"Hide?"
"No, don't dare, it's a rumor between Grand Master Lu and Master Chen Weizhi, saying yes, Grand Prince Lu and Lord Chen...... Share a bed. β
After finishing speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, he had always been worried that Gu Yuanli would ask this, but now that he asked, he was not so afraid.
Gu Yuanli got up, and the long sword "snapped" into the scabbard.
"Oh?"
He naturally knew the reason, but it turned out to be Lu Xuan and Chen Weizhi, Gu Yuanli held the scabbard, and the hollow pattern pierced into his palm, and he saw blood slightly, but he was indifferent.
He narrowed his eyes, that time, Lu Xuan didn't call Chen Weizhi to come, Chen Weizhi was-uninvited. The long sword came out of its scabbard, and the cold light and shadow shone on the rice paper, pale but dangerous.
"You ought to know how to do it, if not......"
If it doesn't work, Lin Wei knows best, it's weird and scary to say, don't say it.
"Subordinates obey."
β¦β¦
For the safety of his own life, Lin Wei climbed over the wall and crossed the Lu Mansion to find Lu Xuan, and he didn't know why his prince cared so much about Lu Dagongzi, his net worth was not good, and he was not famous. The others who clearly want to recruit are much more important than Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan thought about the recent strange things one by one.
At that time, Lu Jiaojiao came, and she said so confidently that Chang Wangfu would give her the master, and she was clearly a bed-climbing maid, she didn't care too much, but when she saw the conversation between the prince and Chang Wang that day, she ......
If King Chang noticed her because of the Guangyuan Courtyard incident, he happened to know that his son had an affair with Lu Jiaojiao, and wanted to use the concubine branch to touch his bottom?
Her phoenix eyes swept over the names written on the rice paper, and before she could put pen to paper, her hand shook, because Lin Wei suddenly appeared.
"Lin Xiao? Whew, please go to the main entrance! β
Roll over the trouble of coming in over the wall!
"It's urgent at this time, my family ...... No, me. I want to know, the matter between the eldest prince Lu and Chen Weizhi is what the eldest prince wants to pass on like this? β
Lu Xuan's good train of thought was interrupted, and he didn't have a good face at this time, so he put away the rice paper full of people's names, folded it, and threw it into the brazier.
"Do you think I want to be rumored to be good about Longyang? Or, bribe the examiner? She glanced at Lin Xiao.
This is the adult's involvement, and now you want to ask her for the result? The thief shouted to catch the thief.
"That'sβ"
"That's because, no one dares to offend your family, so people can only pass on me and Chen Weizhi, and they don't dare to involve your family at all."
Between words, it was quite unwelcome.
The one who stood and spoke without backache actually appeared in her room that day so confidently and magnificently.
Lu Xuan was also angry, and they all appeared, but she still didn't see people's faces.
She now even wondered if the adult was disfigured or ugly.
Lin Wei touched his chin, it made sense to think about it, after all, that master had a strange temper and personality, and he was angry and unhappy, and it was normal to want to call him.
Without Lin Wei making trouble, the way of thinking she put down was slowly smoothed by her, and there was only one point in it, that is, she didn't know why King Chang treated her like this.
In her previous life, she was under the prince's door, and she had no hatred with King Chang, and belonged to the working relationship of well water and river water, so she didn't know the origin of the current situation.
"Compared to this, there have been many things recently, and they happened suddenly, so someone must have done it on purpose, ask your family for me to be careful."
She is not a good person, but she is not an ungrateful person, if King Chang targets her, if she is found by King Chang and the crown prince that day, I am afraid that she will be dead now.
There was also the time of Guangyuanyuan.
Lin Wei nodded and left, leaving Lu Xuan alone in the empty study.
She was puzzled and confirmed that she had no enmity with King Chang.
Maybe it's a grudge from my father's generation? Heh, who knows.
She took out a few important books from the book basket and flipped through them to prepare for the palace exam.
Although she knows the topic, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not change again, and she can't relax for a moment, a critical period.
β¦β¦
Temple Examination.
His Majesty personally made the question.
Lu Xuan walked out of the room, and there would be no problems with the test questions, so if you want to slander her for cheating, what should you start with?
She must be wiser than her enemies.
The answer is, entrainment.
When Lu Xuan entered the palace yesterday, she wore a gray-blue robe, and when she saw those people in the Shuzhi branch yesterday, she also wore gray-blue, making them think that she would wear this one today, but she had already prepared another set of clothes, even if the Shuzhi used any messy methods to stuff the cheat sheet on her, she didn't have to care.
The test questions were issued, the same as in the previous life, Lu Xuan wrote with a good pen, and he could write to me for a while, and the arguments of the clauses and clauses were added with examples, this time, it must be brilliant.
The emperor also seemed to pay special attention to her, and always looked at her during the invigilation.
"Your Majesty! Gongsheng reported - someone was entrained! β
Suddenly, the Gongsheng who was sitting behind Lu Xuan walked out of his seat and passed it with a note, and the emperor immediately asked Lu Xuan to take out the article and compare the content himself.
Lu Xuan was disdainful in his heart.
It must be that Gongsheng's own entrainment, and then he lied that he picked it up, and then he picked it up between Lu Xuan's seat and his seat, and he suspected that it was Lu Xuan.
She really disdains this kind of routine.
Because, what exactly she wrote, no one knows except the books in the house and herself.
"Gongsheng Xu, I picked up this thing from under Lu Xuan's chair, and I didn't dare to deceive Your Majesty."
It's not a branch.
There are two people in the Shu branch who participated in the temple examination, but why not the Shu branch? Lu Xuan slowly thought in his heart, no, this matter must be related to the Shu branch.
Emperor Liang Qin looked at Lu Xuan's scroll and the note, and was instantly furious, his eyes changed when he looked at Lu Xuan, slapped the table, and asked Lu Xuan to explain honestly.
A little doubt flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes, but now, he can't ask himself to compare, otherwise he will lose his trust, Emperor Liang Qin was so angry that he threw down the two pieces of paper and threw them at Lu Xuan's side.
I heard that I would cheat in the test, but I never thought that someone would dare to cheat in the palace test personally invigilated by His Majesty.
Lu Xuan also panicked, and picked up two pieces of paper to compare.
Indeed, she used all the examples written on paper.
But......
"I'll let you explain! Lu Xuan, do you have something to say? Needless to say, there is no need to say sophistry, what is the crime of interfering with the temple examination and plagiarism! β
Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Gongsheng has no entrainment and plagiarism, this person directs and acts by himself, why is there no excuse for the crime he wants to add?" β
Emperor Liang Qin looked at Lu Xuan, and then at Xu Gongsheng.
"Lu Xuan, have you done such a thing yourself, you know for yourself!"
That Xu Gongsheng glared at her, and his arrogance could not be concealed.
Lu Xuan glanced at him, the eyes of the cabinet scholars were not joking, and the eye knife directly burned Xu Gongsheng so much that he didn't dare to speak.
"I know that, of course. Your Majesty, Gongsheng often reads a few books in order to review the palace exam, what if someone takes advantage of Gongsheng's inattention and checks the books that Gongsheng often reads? β
Xu Gongsheng obviously flinched, but this time, he let Lu Xuan know that there were ghosts among them.
Sure enough, one of the concubines who entered the palace test stood up, stepped out of the ranks, and said, "Are you doing well in Lu Mansion?" Who can get the books you read regularly? This is clearly - quibble! β
She had guessed that this matter had nothing to do with Shu Zhi, but now Shu Zhi couldn't hold her breath, and it was really - extremely naΓ―ve!
Another concubine also stood up and bowed to Emperor Liang Qin, "Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, I have been preparing for the exam for several years, how can I allow her to plagiarize alone?" β
Okay, the other one also came out, and now Lu Xuan at least has something to say.
Emperor Liang Qin sneered at Lu Xuan and asked, "Gongsheng Lu, do you have anything to say?" β
Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said: "Your Majesty suspects only one thing, if it is really as Gongsheng said, someone got the books that Gongsheng often reads, then, why can that person get the books?" She looked back at the two self-exposing fools of the Shu Branch, and explained: "This Xu Gongsheng may not be good, but the two of them are my Shu Branch, if they want to, they will definitely be able to get it!" β
Originally, Lu Xuan was just guessing, but she never thought that someone was so stupid that she wanted to fall into her trap.
The eyes of that Xu Gongsheng looking at Lu Xuan obviously changed from arrogance to panic.
