"But." Ji Chengfeng frowned and changed the topic, "Why didn't this girl just hand it over to me instead of handing it over to you?"

Xu Youze pointed out keenly: "It was for the purpose of guarding against the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was handed over to me through your sister's hand, but actually it was to let you know. The important thing is that only I can handle this matter, so I went around and handed it over to me." And if this person who doesn't know you rashly gives you a letter, you will definitely throw it away. It seems that he knows something about you, and he is also familiar with your sister."

"The Prime Minister's wife?" To guard against the Prime Minister's Mansion is to guard against the Prime Minister's wife. When Ji Chengfeng heard this, he sat up straight and a strange color flashed in his eyes. In private, he never wanted to call his aunt "mother", so he said seriously: "She is here. Besides, I also saw something was wrong."

It was not unusual for the Prime Minister's wife to be at odds with Ji Chengfeng, so how could she kindly remind him of the problem?

"Exactly."

Opposite him, Xu Youze, who was dressed in brocade clothes, frowned, grasped the key points and raised his voice: "You said this letter was written by a girl from Pinghu Academy?"

The words on the letter were deliberately written straight, like a student just learning to write. A name slowly appeared in Yan Bi's mind.

"Yes, it was Ji Chengxi who said that there is a girl in the academy who asked her to hand it over to you." Ji Chengfeng looked at Xu Youze and sighed: "Even others can see it, but I only care about my own mood and almost bring trouble to the family."

"If you are in it, it is inevitable that you will be blinded. The greater your merits, the more jealous you will be, which is a disaster. Fortunately, you have this letter to remind you. From this point of view, it is really dangerous." Xu Youze continued to explain: "If There is no such letter..."

They all understood if he didn't continue.

Without this letter, Ji Chengfeng would have accepted the reward, but would have been jealous and framed by others. At worst, he would have lost his official position and served the people, and at worst, he would have lost his life and implicated his family.

The next day, Xu Youze went to the palace to meet the emperor. He mentioned that the sons of high-ranking nobles in Da'an City still lacked the interest in learning, so it was better to encourage them in time.

encourage? How to encourage, since the exam is just around the corner, then reward the talented and outstanding students, and soon the prime minister's son will be rewarded at the palace banquet, so why not reward them together to show the majesty of the emperor.

After Xu Youze left the palace, Ji Chengfeng told him the information he found as soon as possible.

That day Ji Chengxi and Zhou Jiaqing walked out of the garden of the academy together, looking like they were talking and laughing intimately.

However, he knew his sister's character and didn't like the seemingly stupid and noisy Zhou Jiaqing. How could they become so close in just a few days?

After the incident with Mr. Song, Li Yaxuan finally calmed down. Seeing that this method could not anger Zhou Jiaqing, Li Yaxuan was sure that she was just pretending to be stupid and irritable in the past. In addition, the old lady beat her hard and behaved badly. be more careful.

Mr. Song was punished, and Mr. Li, who felt sorry for Zhou Jiaqing, was in panic all day long and left the Hou Mansion that night.

After all this fuss, no one mentioned the matter of finding Mr. Xi anymore.

Zhou Jiaqing did not go to Pinghu Academy for the time being due to his poor health, but he leisurely studied painting as a teacher.

The days passed extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye it was the day before the exam.

As the weather gradually warms up, the students at Pinghu Academy are working hard, staying up late at night and studying hard to prepare for the exam.

Zhou Jiaqing also recovered well and came to the academy, but sat at the table in a daze.

Ji Chengxi asked her: "Why don't you read? The exam is tomorrow. If you don't surpass Wang Chuchu, wouldn't you be a slap in the face?" She believed that Zhou Jiaqing would definitely win, but when she saw her in a daze and not studying hard, she felt doubtful. A little worried.

Zhou Jiaqing didn't know the conflict in Ji Chengxi's heart.

She just thought about seeing Xie Yuanfu tomorrow, who had slaughtered her maternal grandfather's family and her father's enemies in her previous life. She couldn't help but feel the hatred in her heart, so she couldn't listen to the teacher's lecture clearly.

Zhou Jiaqing concealed these emotions and said calmly: "After all, there is an exam tomorrow. One more day of reading won't change anything."

Feng Mengyu, who heard this next to him, laughed out loud: "There is still a hint of self-knowledge."

Zhou Jiayun was talking to Wang Chuchu. When she heard the commotion here, she did not step forward to rescue her. These days, Zhou Jiaqing kept away from her, which made her very unhappy.

"I'm going out to get some fresh air." Zhou Jiaqing ignored Feng Mengyu's sneer, stood up and said to Ji Chengxi, who was at the same table.

After Zhou Jiaqing walked away, Ji Chengxi said impatiently: "It's better to read a book and laugh at others to make you happy. Are you so vain?"

Although Ji Chengxi has very few friends in Pinghu Academy, no one should be willing to antagonize her. Firstly, her family background is prominent, and secondly, she is real, not pretentious, and does not bully the weak. Feng Mengyu is also unwilling to antagonize her, so she Silence.

Zhou Jiaqing walked and came to the bamboo forest again. He pushed the door in and was obviously stunned for a moment.

"I don't know if someone is disturbing you." Zhou Jiaqing said softly and prepared to leave knowingly.

"I'm waiting for you." A deep voice came.

However, Zhou Jiaqing didn't know the situation, so he didn't speak rashly and glanced at the other party.

I saw a man in the room, facing her, sitting and drinking tea. He was wearing a black brocade robe. He was sitting like this. His dignity and coldness were perfectly natural. His face was cold and seemed to be a little pale, and his eyes were as dark as ink. The deep eyes caught her gaze, and when she looked deeper, she was surprised to find that his eyes were cold, showing a slight sense of alienation.

Zhou Jiaqing quickly looked away and said calmly: "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Even I have plotted against you. Miss Zhou is very capable." Xu Jingxiao put his slender fingers on the lid of the light blue tea bowl. There was no emotion in his tone. His eyes slowly moved up and he looked at her nonchalantly. After a glance, he said in an unclear tone: "Why are you helping Ji Chengfeng?"

He was talking about Ji Chengfeng and not the Prime Minister's Mansion. Xu Jingxiao was still so smart and could see the problem at a glance. Zhou Jiaqing didn't care what happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Maybe what she cared about was that a young talent died in vain and only made her grandfather sad.

What he may also care about is that Ji Chengxi lost everything overnight.

The more important purpose is that Xu Jingxiao will owe her a favor for this!

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking. I was just helping Ji Chengxi. She was the first to notice something was wrong." Zhou Jiaqing said calmly.

"Thinking too much?" Xu Jingxiao chewed these words over and over again, and suddenly his eyes looked vaguely. His dark eyes looked thoughtful, with a cold chill, "Far away. Even though you are thousands of miles away, you can know the inside story of Binzhou's disaster relief, and you can accurately predict the Sacred Heart. I'm afraid no one else in the world can do this."

Zhou Jiaqing pretended not to understand: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

Xu Jingxiao put down the tea bowl in his hand, as if he had heard something interesting, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were very cold. He was very tall, and even if he was sitting like this, he could look straight at Zhou Jiaqing even if he raised his head slightly. , was born with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and his facial features were extremely handsome.
