Chapter 358: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
Li Yunxing pondered for a moment, asked Wen Daru and the little scholar to change into the clothes of ordinary domestic servants, took advantage of the servants to pack up their things inside and out, and sent them out in the chaos, and the two went directly to the house where the question papers were loaded, and the two deputy invigilators were already waiting for them inside.
"I was worried when I heard about the fire in the Huiwen Pavilion last night, but fortunately, Daru is fine, so we are relieved."
Wen Daru only had time to change his clothes, so he ordered the entire house to be sealed off, and then took two deputy invigilators to the inside to review the question papers.
Their current task is only to approve the answers of these students, no matter what turmoil is outside, how to solve the matter of Huiwen Pavilion, it is not within the scope of their consideration.
On the other side, Li Yuntian has been sending people to keep an eye on the Huiwen Pavilion, knowing that Li Yunxing has been there to reorganize the Huiwen Pavilion, but Wen Daru is nowhere to be found.
He immediately sent someone to inquire about the news and learned that the day after the fire, Wen Daru had disappeared, and he sent someone to keep an eye on the front door, but there was no movement of Wen Daru from the front door, which means that he left through the back door or a side door.
If you don't leave the front door, but leave through the back door, there must be a hidden secret.
"Immediately send someone to find out where Wen Daru went, and if he does, find out if there is a question paper around him."
Now that they are all blinded, they don't know whether the question paper has been burned or not, Li Yunxing looks indifferent, and he is still in the mood to care about the reconstruction of the burned Huiwen Pavilion, as if he has not been disturbed by the fire at all.
The people sent by Li Yuntian searched for a few days, but they did not find the whereabouts of Wen Daru, he went to Li Yunxing several times, and inquired about the question paper openly and secretly, but Li Yunxing still looked like he was secretive, and even Liu Zhongqing was sent back.
The two became more and more anxious, so they had to go to Liu Ruxu.
A few days ago, Liu Ruxu told them that she had contacted a girl in Li Yunxing's mansion for her use, and she didn't know if she could ask some news about the question paper from the girl's mouth.
Liu Ruxu glanced at the two of them, they would only help, if they couldn't steal the question paper, they would burn the question paper, and now they would send the handle to people, they panicked, and in the end they still had to rely on her.
After she agreed, she instructed Pu Tao to go to Nanyi and ask her to inquire about the matter.
After Nanyi received the letter, she pursed the corners of her lips, threw the letter aside at will, and told a little girl to come to see her, so that she would not go out to meet.
Pu Tao waited for a long time in the agreed place, but she didn't see Nanyi coming, her face was full of anxiety, and she was worried, could it be that she was discovered by His Royal Highness the Prince, would she encounter any danger? After all, this is a secret chess set up by the queen mother, and it can't be pulled out like this.
She was worried until the sun set, and she didn't wait for anyone who wanted to wait, she could only go back to the palace to resume her life, Liu Ruxu frowned, and went out of the palace in person the next day, and blocked Nanyi who came out to buy things in the alley at the entrance of the market.
Pu Tao was a little annoyed when she saw that she was safe and sound.
"You didn't have anything, why didn't you come to see me yesterday, do you know how worried I am about you?"
Nanyi was carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, and when he heard this, he just snorted and fiddled with the earrings.
"It's hard to worry about the girl, but nothing happened to me, but yesterday someone wanted to see me in the name of the girl, and I don't know whether it's true or not, how dare I meet rashly, I'm also careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, and please don't be angry."
Pu Tao was choked speechless, she thought that this girl was a cautious character, but she didn't expect it to be such a sharp tooth, she couldn't answer what she said.
Liu Ruxu waved her hand, and Pu Tao had to shut up and retreat.
She was killed from Empress Wu's Palace, and she has seen all kinds of women, and naturally she has seen Nanyi like this, so she can somewhat understand what she thinks.
Presumably because she felt that after being favored by the prince, she didn't have to take care of them, so she put them on the shelf.
No matter what her temperament is, as long as she can be used by them for the time being, Liu Ruxu can endure it.
"I'll help you win the prince's favor, should you also help me do something, you can find a way to ask if the question paper of this imperial examination has been burned, and where is the question paper and Wen Daru now, if you can ask the answer, I will have a heavy reward."
Nanyi suddenly sneered.
"The queen thinks too highly of me, how long have I been with the prince to keep such a secret and important matter, how can he tell me?"
Liu Ruxu said coldly.
"Then it's up to you. Nanyi, I have already helped you, I have paid so much to you, you should always let me see your value, this is a great opportunity for you to perform, think about your parents in Yizhou, you must always let them see a little opportunity. ”
After saying this, Liu Ruxu left with Pu Tao, and Pu Tao turned her head and glared at Nanyi carefully.
Nanyi's face was ugly, and finally he suddenly sneered and turned his head to leave.
When she returned to the house, Li Yunxing had already returned, he had been busy with the reconstruction of the Huiwen Pavilion in the past few days, and he was very busy, the more at this time, the more he was annoyed that Li Yuntian and Liu Zhongqing were bold, the Huiwen Pavilion was a century-old museum, and it had a very high status for many students, and they actually dared to set fire to it directly.
As soon as he sat down in the study and rubbed his temples, Nanyi ran in crying and repeated what the queen said today.
"Your Highness, what should I do?"
Li Yunxing pulled people up, he expected that Liu Ruxu would come to Nanyi, and now Nanyi is like Su Miaoxue before, and it is also a chess piece that he planted in reverse.
"I expected, I have a cautious personality, and I will never tell you such content easily, so if you answer them completely, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, you can say that the question paper has not been burned, but you don't know where it is placed, but there is a courtyard in the prince's mansion, and many forbidden army guards are also installed, no one is allowed to approach, scatter some bait, and they will naturally take the bait."
The more Nanyi listened, the more frightened she became, sure enough, what she expected was right, whether it was the queen or the virtuous king Li Yuntian, they couldn't fight Li Yunxing together, when they were still trying to dig a pit and set a trap, Li Yunxing had already expected that what they thought set a trap for them.
So from the very beginning, she chose to join the prince, which was the most correct decision she had ever made.
"I see." She didn't leave, but just hugged Li Yunxing's neck.
"The queen asked me to make a beauty plan, if I don't use the beauty plan, I will know the news, she should be suspicious, so I ...... today"
Li Yunxing smiled and hugged the person into his arms.
"I don't think you need to be called Nanyi, you should be called a goblin."
