Chapter 269: The Surprise of the Lost Jade
On the test site in the Gentleman's Building. There were only three students left who were still struggling to bury their heads in calculations, and after Lu Zhikou said that he would go back to the secret house with Yi Yu to see Li Tai, Yu Yu realized the urgency of the matter, and was about to talk to him again when he saw Cheng Xiaofeng stiff his left shoulder and walked into the Lan Lou, so he stopped talking.
"I knew that arithmetic topics were so troublesome, so I might as well give up and rest at home." Cheng Xiaofeng sat on the seat in front of Lu Zhi, turned around, and whispered.
After Lu Zhi handed a "I have something to say later" look to Yi Yu, he poured a cup of tea for the disabled person in front of him, "Even if you don't want to come, Aunt Yun has to agree." β
Cheng Xiaofeng pursed his lips, raised his chin, and gestured, "Why didn't you come with Xiaoyu today, after leaving my house yesterday, where did you go to drink flower wine, your face is so ugly, you don't look like you haven't slept well." β
Lu Zhi did not respond to her taunt. Instead, he said, "Are you going to give up tomorrow's ritual competition, your shoulderβI doubt it, you don't want to tell us how you will hurt, should it be to escape the last competition?" β
was pointed out by him to the injury, Cheng Xiaofeng immediately wilted, smiled and raised the teacup in front of his face, and covered the look on his face by drinking water:
"I said that I accidentally fell out of bed in the morning, so if you don't believe it, forget it."
Lu Zhi mentioned this matter just to change the topic, although he knew that what she said was not the truth, he and Yi Yu didn't have the heart to ask like yesterday, after the three of them were quiet for a while, Cheng Xiaofeng made an excuse to find Cheng Xiaohu, stiffened his shoulders and went to the front row.
The two of them were empty again, and Yu Yu whispered: "If you want to find King Wei, I'm afraid it's better to go to the palace, and he didn't go back to the house when I got up early and left." β
Lu Zhi hesitated, "Didn't go back?" It shouldn'tβ"
His words were interrupted by the ringing of the bell at the end of the competition, and the students who were still whispering and dozing off just now were refreshed, this was not the place to speak, and after the two exchanged glances, they waited for a place where there were fewer people to speak.
The arithmetic art competition ended with the victory of the arithmetic college without any accident, so far, the five academies of art competition only have one remaining rite art, except for the Tai College that has obtained five woodcuts and a law college that has not been obtained, the other three deans and doctors have set their sights on tomorrow's ritual art competition, the first can not get, and the second still has hope to fight.
Du Ruojin, who originally said that he would come to watch the competition today, was also not present. So after the students began to leave the table, Yiyu handed the hand stove that Du Ruojin lent her last night for Lu Zhi to hold, and the two left the Junzi Building in a hurry after saying goodbye to the Cheng family sisters and brothers.
Walking to the quiet lakeside path, Lu Zhi continued what he had not spoken in the gentleman's building just now, and said to himself: "You said that King Wei didn't go back, is that in the palace?" β
Yi Yu told him what Ah Sheng told the maid before resting last night, and the fact that he didn't see anyone in the morning, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he suddenly turned back to look at him-
It seems that he is in a hurry to ask Li Tai to help find Mu Changfeng, but since Lu Zhi was called away by Lu Zhongzhi's people last night, for such a long time this morning, has he used it to talk to Old Man Lu, and he has not gone to Li Tai?
Yi Yu was in the Junzi Building just now, when she first heard the bad news brought by Lu Zhi, her thoughts were chaotic for a while, and she didn't have time to think about it at all, but now her heart calmed down a little. The whereabouts of Li Tai are like an introduction, pulling out the things that are not in her mind one by one!
As early as after she found out that Lu Zhi was probably helping the emperor, and Lu Zhongzhi and Fang Qiao found them one after another, she mentioned to him that if the emperor knew that he was hiding his background, there would be bad consequences.
At that time, Lu Zhi told her with certainty that if they hadn't taken the initiative to mention this matter in front of the saint, the emperor would not have mentioned this old matter that had been sealed in front of them for more than ten years to poke Fang Qiao's heart, after all, the loss of Lu's mother and son back then was somewhat related to their superiority.
Lu Zhongzhi would definitely not take the initiative to mention it, and Fang Qiao, who they were worried about at first, also had no intention of mentioning this matter again in front of the saint for some reason for the time being.
So Yi Yu pressed this worry, yesterday he heard the rumors about the Fang family's wife and children, because Lu Zhi had made psychological preparations with her before, knowing that there were more than a dozen rumors every day in this mess in Beijing, it was difficult to attract the attention of the emperor who was busy with official duties, so he didn't worry much.
However, Lu Zhi suddenly told her today that Lu Zhongzhi was called by the emperor yesterday to ask about their family, and he deceived the king in order to help them hide it!
These things seem to have happened by accident, unexpected rumors, unexpectedly attracted the attention of the emperor, and unexpectedly the emperor called for questioning!
It's not that she didn't notice the strangeness in it, but everything was Lu Zhi talking about, she was listening, and whenever she had doubts in her heart. was twisted right by Lu Zhi just right, as if he was misled by him again and again!
With a pang in her heart, the ten fingers of the jade were clasped tightly on the delicate hand stove, she had always set the main purpose of Lu Zhi's actions to find evidence to prove that it was not him who pushed the little concubine to the lake back then, so that the family would no longer be angry and could stand on their own, but the purpose that Lu Zhi showed now was so simple!
The shadow of childhood, the pregnant woman who committed suicide and framed him, his father's sword, the cold ancestral hall, the days of running away and evading, from the eldest young master in fine clothes and jade food, to the cattle herding baby in a poor mountain village, and the poor student who was bullied......
These are either from Lu's memories or from what she saw with her own eyes, they are all Lu Zhi's personal experiences, and he who remembers this experience, is he the kind of person who will easily let go of hatred!
Thinking of this, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured from his head, and Yu Yu shuddered lightly. Hang your head. Looking back, it has been more than three years since I entered Beijing. Lu Zhi is in business, and what he has done for a while seems to be weaving a big net, coldly looking at the people who are related to the events of the year, and jumping in one by one!
β... Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu? Lu Zhi patted the pale Yu with his hand.
She clasped the stove in her hand, turned her head and tried to make her expression as natural as possible, "What did the eldest brother say, I was distracted just now." β
After Lu Zhi's gaze swept over her face, he showed a reassuring smile, "I said, let's go back to the house first." If the person is not there, go to the palace to find it, Xiaoyu, the matter has come to this point, you don't have to worry too much, my grandfather had the merit of supporting him back then, and the emperor will not embarrass him in the future. β
"I see." Yu Yu tugged at him at the corner of his lips.
The two walked quickly to the back door of the school dormitory, got into the carriage driven by Hu San, and changed to the carriage of the secret house waiting here on the inside of the Guiyi Fang gate.

In the study of the secret house
Li Tai sat behind the desk, only glanced at a few letters in his hand, put them aside, twisted a porcelain bead the size of peanuts in the copper box on the side with his left hand, looked up at Ah Sheng who was waiting diagonally opposite, and said:
"Have you read it?"
Ah Sheng replied: "I have seen it, my subordinates went to the Tianye Pavilion in the morning to check, and this is the news that they have just sorted out." β
"Tell me."
Ah Sheng, who was standing straight, stole a glance at the expression on his face, and said slowly: "It is rumored that when the Xuanwu Gate rebelled, it was originally the Fang adults of King An's party who defected halfway, and the three of them were taken away from the courtyard by the anger of King An's Yu Party, but the fact is that as early as thirteen years ago, the wife and child of the Fang family, who claimed to be sick and recuperated in the other courtyard, were taken out by the young daughter Lu who was cut off by the Duke of Huaiguo, and disappeared to this day. β
"Huai Guogong returned to Beijing in August, and the relationship with the Fang government is still cold, a few days ago, it suddenly spread in Beijing, saying that the wife of the Fang family who was abducted by King An was found, and the trend of this rumorββ"
Just talked about the key place, Ah Sheng's topic jumped:
"Today's court, as a neutral party, Lord Fang and Huai Guogong, if they are recruited, everyone who understands knows that they can only choose one of them. The prince's party helped to block it back, seeing that the prince had the intention to win over this soft and hard Zhongshu Ling, then King Wu would definitely choose Huai Guogong, interestingly, do you know who released this rumor? β
Swept over by Li Tai's cold eyes, Ah Sheng didn't dare to continue to sell his mouth, and after laughing for a while, he said, "It's Mu Changfeng." β
"Huh?" Hearing this familiar name, Li Tai pinched his fingers on the porcelain beads.
Ah Sheng continued: "Mu Changfeng has always been quite honest since he followed Li Ke's side, otherwise we wouldn't have recently discovered that there were traces of him around King Wu, but his current actions, if it is to help Li Ke, it is easy to say, but if he listens to the orders of Hongzhuang, then-"
The porcelain bead in Li Tai's hand made a crisp pop, and Ah Sheng only heard him whisper:
"Find the people."
"Yes."
As soon as Ah Sheng responded, there was a cheerful chirping of Yinxiao, who had followed them back to the secret house from the other courtyard in the morning, and it was needless to say who had returned.
"Miss Lu came back early today." After muttering a sentence in a low voice, seeing that Li Tai didn't mean to let him go out to greet people, he stood in place dryly.
Xu heard Ah Sheng's prayer in his heart, and the sound of footsteps came towards the study, and after a while, he heard a crisp girl's voice outside the door:
"Your Highness, my brother has something important, can you see it?"
Hearing the sound that had not been heard all night, Li Tai's face softened slightly, picked up a book, covered the letterhead on the table, and said:
"Come in."
The door curtain was lifted from the outside, and Yi Yu, who was wearing a too dark dark gray dress, walked in first, Li Tai looked sideways, but after seeing the unconcealed worry between her eyebrows, he ignored Lu Zhi, who walked in after her, and said loudly:
"Is today's arithmetic art at the bottom?"
How could Yi Yu have the heart to discern the subtle reassurance in his words at this time, he saluted him, and said in a proper manner:
"Not the worst, Your Highness, my brother and sister have one thing to ask for."
