Li Tonghe didn't expect that He Zhijing would protect the two countrymen who met for the first time to this extent.

It's not that the fourth prince has to ask Li Mu, but Li Tonghe took the initiative to flatter him at the beginning, saying that he had such a nephew, but now he has dragged on for a long time, and he has not seen him bring him here. The fourth prince, who was looked down upon by others, had even more criticisms about him.

Li Tonghe was so anxious that he even tried to come to the door in person.However, the door god sent by He Zhijing firmly guarded the door, and even Li Tonghe couldn't get close.Li Tonghe was so angry that he simply found someone to spread Li Mu's disrespect to his elders among the scholars, trying to ruin Li Mu's reputation.It's a pity that the exam is approaching, and the scholars who are about to leave are busy, so they don't have time to pay attention to who Li Mu is.

Li Mu and Xia He really lived a peaceful and leisurely life for several days.

Finally, He Zhijing heard back.

The Shizi invited them to meet again at Prince Xian's Mansion, this time a banquet was held in the garden under the name of appreciating flowers.

Xia He still thought about it for a while. Look at that prince, doesn't he seem to be such a sentimental person?

"How about it, is this garden beautiful?" He Zhijing was quite proud of his garden.

Li Mu really liked it, and praised him several times.

Xia He's face was full of disinterest, and he only stared at the food and drink on the table, especially the delicate dim sum. He had never seen dim sum that could make so many tricks in his life. !

"It turns out that Xia He likes this kind of flower the most?" He Zhijing pointed to the dessert made of flowers.

Xia He nodded, and said: "It looks good, the key is that it can be eaten, and it has some uses."

"Haha, Xia He is indeed a pragmatist!" He Zhijing laughed loudly.

Xia He didn't understand, what is a pragmatist?

"Originally there was another distinguished guest tonight, but after thinking about it, he decided that it would be better not to come." He Zhijing said, "That guy, he has lived too cautiously in this life, always thinking too much, for fear of others Angry with him." Speaking of this, He Zhijing shook his head and sighed, feeling very sorry for that man.

"What a poor man." Xia He didn't know that He Zhijing was feeling sorry for the Seventh Prince, the future His Majesty, and still said that.

He Zhijing didn't light it, but filled the cups placed in front of the four of them, saying: "This is the chrysanthemum wine brewed last year, and the chrysanthemums bloomed in another year. This wine is brewing to its full potential. Come on, today Here's a taste for you all."

Xia He hasn't had a drink since the time he got drunk in the restaurant in Raonan Town. Now he touches the delicate wine glass, hesitates, then looks at Li Mu, no Too dare to drink.

Unexpectedly, this time it was Yi Ke, the eldest concubine who hadn't spoken to Xia He, who came over to toast: "Mr. Zhang, please."

Xia He glanced at Yi Ke, compared to the idle prince, this old-fashioned and cold prince concubine has the majesty of a royal family, Xia He dared to call He Zhijing a brother and brother, but he was a little afraid of Yi Ke, and his heart froze. Down the glass of wine.

Only then did Yi Ke feel very melancholy, and said, "I never thought that I would still see Mr. Zhang's grandson in my lifetime."

When Xia He heard this, he had a clue in his heart.I think this scholar also respected his grandfather, but now he is just borrowing himself to remember the deceased.

After understanding this important point, Xia He felt more at ease.If Yi Ke was still thinking about his grandfather in his heart, and heard that Mr. Zhang was wronged, he would definitely not let go of the person who caused this shocking injustice.

Feeling relieved from the bottom of my heart, Xia He laughed.With this smile, two blushes appeared on his face, and his expression became bewildered.

When He Zhijing saw it, he was startled: "This...can't this be drunk?" What to do, he just suddenly remembered that there was chrysanthemum wine made last year at home, and he wanted to use it to entertain guests Well, he and Xia He still have business to discuss!

Li Mu could only plead guilty: "Xia He is too strong to drink, this..."

"Oh, how can a man pour a cup, you should practice!" He Zhijing smiled and said yes, but he didn't dare to add more wine to Xia He's cup.

But Xia He looked left and right, and suddenly snatched the glass in front of Li Mu's eyes, drank the wine inside, and even licked the bottom of the glass, quite unsatisfied.

He Zhijing shook his head, and said with a smile: "This person who can't hold alcohol is greedy."

"Since Mr. Zhang is drunk, let's rest at our house tonight." Yi Ke hurriedly called for someone to arrange a place for the two of them.

Only then did He Zhijing get down to business: "Since Xia He is drunk, it's not as good as Mr. Li. Let's talk."

Li Mu blocked Xia He with one hand, not allowing him to drink again, and when he took time out, he said to He Zhijing, "I don't know what your son wants?"

"Ever since I heard from you that you were going to end in three years, I've thought about it. You're planning to kill my uncle emperor, right?" Someone eavesdropped, and He Zhijing spoke very boldly.

Li Mu pondered for a moment, and admitted: "Exactly."

"I'm surprised. Aren't you afraid that the next His Majesty will still be a jerk?" He Zhijing asked curiously.

"..." Li Mu was silent for a moment, and said, "It is said that there are three fires for a new official to take office. His Majesty is newly enthroned. Naturally, he needs to do a few major things to stabilize his position. I believe that no matter which His Highness takes the throne, I won't turn a blind eye to Xue Shangshu's trick, unless I can get more benefits from Xue Shangshu."

"You're smart." He Zhijing said yes without any concealment, "You're right, I'm not a good person, and I'm planning to use your thing to take old man Xue."

"I don't know which Highness the Master likes?" Li Mu asked yes.

"When the time comes, you will know." He Zhijing shook his head, not intending to confess.

Li Mu didn't force it either. With his current status, he didn't need to have direct contact with the prince, and it was a great fortune to get to know the eldest son.Just about to open his mouth to continue talking about something, Xia He, who was imprisoned in his arms, suddenly stood up and said: "You must be a good emperor! If the emperor is not good, how can the people be good?"

Xia He's cheeks were extremely red, and she stared fixedly at this man who was more than ten years older than herself, as if he was teaching a child, muttering: "My lord, you have to choose a good prince."

He Zhijing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he waved his hands and said: "Where do I have such great ability, I can choose whoever the throne belongs to? But don't worry, that one will definitely be a good emperor."

Xia He pondered for a moment, decided to trust He Zhijing for the time being, and sat down obediently, nestled next to Li Mu, a little tired.

Seeing him nodding his head and looking like he was about to fall asleep, He Zhijing hurriedly said: "Call someone to help Xia He to rest, Mr. Li, let's talk about the other criminal evidence you mentioned earlier."

Hearing this, Xia He, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly lit up his eyes, and carefully asked Li Mudao: "Your clan brother, hasn't he received any letters recently? Could something have happened to him?"

"Xia He, go to sleep, trust Brother Yun." Li Mu said yes in a low voice.

Xia He thought for a while, then nodded: "If something happens to your brother Yun, we will have the Xue family pay for his life. —— and the Qin family, we can't let it go!"

Xia He danced and clung to Li Mu like an octopus, regardless of the couple He Zhijing and his wife beside him.Li Mu was still awake, a little embarrassed, and could only coax him according to Xia He's wishes: "Okay, we came to Liang Jing, isn't it just to expose them and blame the Xue family? Go to sleep, be obedient .”

Hearing Li Mu's assurance, Xia He felt relieved, and felt drowsy, and couldn't help feeling sleepy again.

He Zhijing looked at it and burst out laughing.

Yi Ke called someone over and helped Xia He to rest.

After Xia He left, He Zhijing stopped his exaggerated laugh, and asked Li Mudao: "I'm quite curious about what Xia He just said. What does your clan brother have to do with the Xue family?"

"There was a clan brother named Li Yun in my late birth, and now she is the husband and wife of Qin Fan, son of the Qin family in Qingyang." Li Mu sighed and explained clearly the entanglement between Li Yun and Qin Fan and the relationship between Li Yun and Qin Fan before he left. As I said, I want to collect evidence of crimes committed by the Xue family.

"This sounds like a difficult task." He Zhijing shook his head, saying yes.

"You don't need to bother Mr. Li Yun to find out everything. You just need to get a few ironclad evidence that the Xue family can't refute, and bring them to Liang Jing. For the rest, I will have a special person to dig out the cocoons and find them all." Yi Yi But he said that, and then asked Li Mudao, "From what Mr. Zhang said, it's been a long time since you have heard from your clan brother?"

"Exactly... I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the prince for help." Li Mu said yes, but it's a pity that he is a scholar, so he can't sneak into the Qin's house to see if Li Yun is well.

"It's a trivial matter." He Zhijing took care of everything, "Watch me bring him back!"

But Yi Ke stopped him: "Shizi."

"What's the matter baby? My people are no good, can I borrow some from my father, he has a lot of subordinates hidden there, and they are very skilled." He Zhijing said yes.

"Aren't you afraid of trespassing into other people's houses and being known?" Yi Ke said yes.

He Zhijing paused.After a long while, I could only nod my head in agreement: "It's true that you shouldn't startle the snake easily. Originally, you wanted to capture people directly, but now that you think about it, it's better to send people to investigate first."

After it was finalized, He Zhijing waved his hand and let Li Mu go to rest: "I heard that your uncle has been restless recently. Tonight you live in my virtuous king's mansion, but it's like living in Tietong. No flies can fly in to disturb you, so you can sleep peacefully."

Li Mu said goodbye, but he said in his heart that Xia He was still drunk, and he didn't know if he could really sleep soundly.

Sure enough, Xia He woke up after being sleepy for a while, and started to make trouble again.Seeing Li Mu, he clung to him, pressed himself tightly against Li Mu, and murmured, "Brother Mu, you're finally back."

"Okay, Xia He, let's not drink at all from now on." Li Mu dragged Xia He to the bed, sighing.

Xia He opened his eyes wide and was giggling: "Brother Mu, I'm so happy."

"What's wrong, Xia He?" Li Mu asked softly.

"My grandfather has met bad people, but there are still many good people in this world. The son is really a good person, and the concubine is not as scary as she looks." Xia He counted on her fingers, "Fortunately, there are them, I believe, grandfather and his Wrongs will be cleared."

Xia He was drunk, her speech was not so clear, she was muttering, and she was still giggling while talking.Li Mu listened carefully, and after listening, he responded, "Yes, there are still many good people. Soon, we will be able to go back."

"Your Majesty said that the next emperor is a good man. Then he will definitely be the No. [-] scholar to Brother Mu!" Xia He suddenly mentioned this again.

Li Mu: "..."

He didn't know what to say, so he finally smiled, lay on his side beside the bed, looked into Xia He's bright eyes, and thought to himself, he really has to work hard to win that first place from so many people. Come down, it's too difficult.

However, even for Xia He's sake, he still has to try.

Li Mu silently planned in his heart how to fight for the next three years, but he didn't realize that he didn't have the full three years available.

On the second day, the two of them were awakened by the loud and solemn bell that pierced Liang Jing.

Xia He still complained about having a headache and refused to get up.Li Mu hurriedly got dressed and ran out.

As soon as he left the hospital, Li Mu bumped into an old man in civilian clothes.

The old man's eyes were cloudy, he stopped, and listened to the bell one after another.After listening, he let out a long sigh, shook his head and said: "Brother Huang, you have finally left."
