Jiang Lingyi lowered the carriage curtain, leaned on the crypt sac, and let out a long breath, but there was a faint smile in her eyes.

The county lord of Yanzhen paid attention to His Highness so much in private.

Could this be Concubine Ning's instructions?

She shook her head inwardly.

Even if Concubine Ning Guifei acted arrogantly and blatantly, she couldn't afford to let a disfigured niece personally monitor the prince who was out of the palace.

It simply doesn't make sense.

And if it weren't for Ning Guifei's intentions, it would only be Yan Zhen's own idea.

Thinking of this, a complicated look flashed in Jiang Lingyi's eyes.

As a woman, that kind of extremely strong intuition will never go wrong......

She didn't expect that Yan Zhen would be interested in His Royal Highness the Prince.

However, if you think about it, such a beautiful and moon-like figure as His Royal Highness is the king of a country in the future - under contact, I am afraid it is extremely difficult for anyone not to be tempted.

But the Ning family and the crown prince are secretly opposed, Yan really has such an idea, if Ning Guifei knows, I don't know what the result will be......

Thinking that Yan Zhen had embarrassed himself in public, Jiang Lingyi had an idea in her heart.

But soon, reason led her to reject this plan.

It was she who quietly revealed the matter to Ning Guifei, so that the banquet was really snubbed by Ning Guifei, but that snub might only be for a while.

And if Yan Zhen knows that it is her troubles, it will be the real trouble.

The incident in Yongfang four years ago taught her to be more cautious in her actions, and she must not be caught by others for the sake of a momentary hurry.

What's more, why should she go to the same banquet to be really angry.

The other party's dignity alone could not be a threat between her and His Highness - no matter how arrogant he was, he was just a wishful thinking clown.

And then there's ......

Why rush to destroy things that you might be able to use in the future?

……

Early the next morning, Cheng Ran, who had barely slept all night, entered the palace to ask to see Emperor Zhaofeng.

Deng Changen has an official position, and was originally introduced to Beijing by the great teacher, this time if he wants to convict him of perjury and punish him, he must obtain the emperor's approval before it is appropriate.

Master Cheng has prepared a very detailed narrative excerpt, although he estimates that the emperor will not read it, but the process still has to be followed.

However, before going through these processes, we must first face one of the biggest problems -

That is, how on earth can he meet the emperor?!

It's ridiculous to say that as the cousin of the Queen Mother and the Yin of the Beijing Yafu, it is difficult for him to ask to see the emperor for official business.

"Lord Cheng, the emperor can't be idle at the moment."

"It doesn't matter, the official can wait."

The emperor can know that Weichen is tired of saying this.

Cheng Ran sighed in his heart, and then said to the eunuch: "I don't know if I can bother my father-in-law to get some pen and ink for this official?" ”

The eunuch was slightly stunned, but he quickly responded.

It's not that hard.

After the pen and ink were taken, Cheng Ran sat on the ground under the porch on one side, took out the official document he was carrying, and took official business seriously.

Fortunately, he had long expected that the emperor would not be so good, so he had been prepared.

"This ...... Master Cheng...... This seems out of place for you. The eunuch reminded with an embarrassed face.

Where are the ministers sitting outside the emperor's dormitory?

Cheng Ran smiled silently.

said that it seemed that this temple of heart cultivation was a proper place.

"Recently, there have been a lot of official affairs in the yamen, and the official has no other way, if he delays his official business, it will be difficult to explain to the emperor when he turns back. If your father-in-law thinks it's really inappropriate, please bother to pass it on to the official a few times. ”

The eunuch had a headache when he heard it, so he had to go to the great eunuch Liu Fu.

Liu Fu sighed.

Now in order to see the emperor, the ministers can really use all kinds of tricks.

Liu Fu weighed it, and finally entrusted the matter to Emperor Zhaofeng.

Emperor Zhaofeng, who was busy flipping through the Dan book, entered with one ear and went out with one ear.

And soon, Liu Fu suddenly came to preach again, but he said: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Lord Cheng has fainted!" ”

"What?"

Emperor Zhaofeng finally heard it clearly, and then subconsciously looked at the pill in his hand.

Liu Fu's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty...... I have ordered someone to pass on the imperial doctor, and I think I will be able to come soon. ”

Only then did Emperor Zhaofeng retract his gaze.

"I'm going to take a look."

Everyone has fainted, and it is not appropriate for him not to show his face again.

But why did he faint?

Emperor Zhaofeng vaguely felt that something was wrong, but by the time he figured out what was wrong, it was too late.

As soon as the unconscious Lord Cheng heard that the emperor was coming, he immediately opened his eyes weakly and supported himself to get up and salute.

"The minister has lost his honor...... I hope the emperor will forgive ...... sins"

"Since you are unwell, why do you have to force yourself to enter the palace." Emperor Zhaofeng sighed helplessly.

spread the word, and those who didn't know thought they were faint by him - his reputation was bad enough, why couldn't the courtiers cherish his already bald feathers for him?

"There is really urgent business, so Wei Chen has to come to ask the emperor......" Cheng Ran said weakly, with a tired smile on his lips.

Recently, in order to keep up with the pace of the prince, he has honed his acting skills hard.

Emperor Zhaofeng saw it in his eyes and suffered in his heart.

He thought that the concubine's acting skills were bad enough, but he didn't expect that Lord Cheng would be too good.

It's obviously just a painstaking play, but he acted it as if he was leaving a last word.

"Tell me, what is the matter with you asking to see me?" Emperor Zhaofeng said helplessly.

Cheng Ran's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly told Deng Changen about it as it was, and presented the excerpt.

Emperor Zhaofeng: ......

Wait, why does the fold in Master Cheng's sleeve seem to be unfinished?

"In addition to Deng Changen's affairs, these are all things that need to be approved by the emperor recently......" Lord Cheng regained his weak appearance.

Emperor Zhaofeng suppressed the urge to curse in his heart.

Half an hour later, after Cheng Ran left the Heart Cultivation Palace, he was frowning.

The uneasy emperor did not make a clear statement on Deng Changen's matter, but only told him to wait a few days and not make an assertion.

Then he will wait a few more days to see what the emperor's intentions are, and then make plans.

……

The next day, Zhang Meishou went out with his parents and rushed to the Tribute Courtyard together.

Today is the last day of the township test, and they came to pick up Zhang Qiuchi and go home.

When the hour came, as soon as the door of the Gongyuan was opened, some candidates walked out.

Some people are depressed, some are emotional, but most of them look exhausted.

The family members who were waiting outside rushed up.

"Let's take a look." Zhang Luan sent Fan Jiu to find someone.

Fan Jiu responded with a smile and squeezed into the crowd.

At this time, I saw a person being carried out of the corner gate by the soldiers, covered with a white cloth-

"I heard that it was the son of a family in the city, who was already sick, and he still came with medicine, but he had to force himself to finish the exam...... No, it's not easy to finish the exam, and the people are gone. ”

One of the candidates sighed.
