The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

The cold riding crop still made people tremble when they touched it through their clothes.

She obviously didn't have any contact with him, but the feeling it gave her was similar to the feeling of him holding her waist. It was cold and rough, making it impossible to ignore it.

Xue Mingyue subconsciously tightened the reins in her hands.

"Xu Lv——"

The red horse neighed in dissatisfaction and immediately began to shake restlessly.

At this moment, Xie Lang's voice sounded again: "Sit tight."

It wasn't until the reins in his hands were snatched away by him, and a warm and generous body appeared inexplicably behind him that Xue Mingyue came back to her senses from the stiffness. Then she heard his voice coming from above her head: "Don't be distracted, this is from the Western Regions." Fierce horses are difficult to tame by nature, and their temporary docility is just an appearance.”

"I'll take you for two laps first."

As he spoke, he clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and the red horse bolted out with a swish.

The speed at this moment was completely different from Xue Mingyue's slow riding speed, as fast as a gust of wind that could not be caught.

Xue Mingyue listened to the steady heartbeat in the chest behind her, her breathing was inexplicably disordered, and her ears felt numb. The chaotic mind was blown away by the oncoming wind, and he managed to regain some consciousness.

She blinked, what did he say just now... Xiaohong is a fierce horse from the Western Regions?

No wonder he only acted actively when he was feeding it grass and bean cakes. He seemed passive and slack at other times, especially when he was driving her slowly around the martial arts arena.

"However, it's beyond my expectation that you picked this horse."

Xie Lang's smiling voice sounded in her ears.

Xue Mingyue had slowly regained her composure now, and couldn't help but tilt her head and ask, "Why?"

"I have selected all these horses for you in advance. The horses that are too aggressive have been screened out. I thought you would like the white horse among them more. Many people said it is very beautiful."

Xie Lang felt a little regretful when he saw her riding a little red horse.

Xue Mingyue pinched the tips of her warm ears, thinking of the spotless white horse in the horse pen that looked like a fairy horse, and said in a low voice: "I like it, but it's not suitable."

He was a little surprised: "Why is it inappropriate?"

Warm breath fell on the back of her ears, and the fair skin behind her ears suddenly burned.

Xue Mingyue pursed her lips tightly and wanted to reach out to cover her ears, but she felt it was inappropriate and restrained herself from touching the hot ears. She said with some resentment, "It won't eat the grass I feed."

Xie Lang was stunned for a moment: "?"

The horses in the horse pen all have different temperaments.

Xue Mingyue immediately took a fancy to the snow-white horse, so she approached it with carefully arranged fodder. As a result, the little white horse was very arrogant and not only did not eat her fodder, but also turned away.

Naturally she was dissatisfied and wanted to tame it.

But as soon as she caught up, the maroon horse squeezed over and ate up all the fodder in her hand.

Xue Mingyue tried to get close to the little white horse several times, but it just ignored her and even tried to eat the grass in her hand. She had never had such patience with anyone. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she simply turned around and found another horse.

Suddenly, a vague low laugh came from behind.

The muffled laughter coming from her throat clearly reached her ears from her chest.

It sounds full of narrow-mindedness.

Xue Mingyue couldn't help but became angry and said loudly: "Why are you laughing! I can ride a horse, you don't have to take me around anymore, I want to get down!"

"Actually, if the little white horse is willing to eat your fodder, it already likes you."

"You don't have to lie to me."

"Why did I lie to you?" Xie Lang raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "I picked it at first glance, but you know it spat on me as soon as I got close, which shows how much it dislikes me. Let alone eat the fodder I feed.”

"The old man who raised the horse said it had this annoying temperament."

"..." Xue Mingyue turned to glance at him suspiciously.

In fact, she felt for a moment that Xiaobai Ma and Xie Lang looked strangely alike, but she couldn't tell what the similarity was.

It turns out to be a very annoying look.

Xue Mingyue rubbed her ears, curled her lips slightly, and snorted coldly: "Anyway, I have fallen in love with this little red horse. Please let me go quickly and don't delay my relationship with it."

Xie Lang said shamelessly: "Then I also want to develop a relationship with you."

She said coldly: "I don't want it."

"If you don't let me down, I'm going to vault."

If he hadn't suddenly appeared behind her, how could the little red horse be frightened, and she wouldn't want to ride with him.

Seeing her helpless look, Xie Lang's eyes darkened, he pressed his back teeth, raised his hand and rubbed her head randomly, and said helplessly: "Sure, whatever you say will be whatever it is."

Xue Mingyue held up her messy hair.

Those clear apricot eyes stared at him with accusations, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you trouble me, stay three feet away from me."

"That's not possible. How can a couple be so far apart?"

"roll!"

...

Within half a month, all officials suspected in Yan Chengming's case were arrested.

There are less than half of the officials in the Sixth Department in the court, not to mention that there are many people suspected of cheating in the imperial examinations in the Hanlin Academy. After being found out, they were all sent to prison. Those who served as chief examiners basically sentenced death penalty.

The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel suffered heavy losses this time and were cleaned up from top to bottom.

The Jing'an Tea House was completely closed down, and the apparent owner, the third brother of the Lin family, was also arrested and imprisoned. The uncle of the Lin family, who served as the censor of Youqiandu in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was implicated and was demoted to Yunnan. Taoist censor.

From being demoted from the fourth rank to the seventh rank, it was Mr. Lin who came forward to save the lives of his two sons.

Xue Xujun was implicated by the Lin family and was demoted from Minister of Rites to Doctor of Rites.

Although the emperor's face was not good-looking, he was particularly kind to the fourth prince Xiao Chi, who had done these two things beautifully, and even asked him to prepare a list of officials to fill the six departments. Anyone could see that the emperor appreciated him. add.

The second prince Xiao Duo was in a cloudy mood these days, his eyes were cold and vicious, and the porcelain in the palace was smashed to pieces by him.

Those officials who were cleared were all his people!

This time alone, almost sixty-seven out of ten of the chess pieces that he had carefully cultivated and placed in the Six Divisions for many years were removed!

But he underestimated the fourth child.

Unexpectedly, although he was stupid, the Duke of Qin, who was backed by him, was not a good person. He could even find out the chess pieces that he had arranged very secretly. They must also covet the position of crown prince!

In this court situation, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

Those who are not on the sidelines are probably going to join Xiao Chi.

In the Jinluan Palace.

The emperor, who was nearly fifty years old, still looked majestic.

With sharp eyes, he said in a deep voice: "Lao Si has done a good job in the matter of imperial examination fraud. I really did not misjudge you. In the past two days, before the autumn hunt, you handed in the list of official positions for each ministry."

"When I and the officials are hunting in the autumn in the paddock, you will supervise the country on my behalf."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
