Chuan Shuzhi became the regent's favorite concubine

As soon as the sound fell, the two guards behind Chou Chenghong who maintained the order of the imperial examination rushed to the young master's side, and lifted the young master up.

"His Royal Highness! I am an imperial examination candidate, you can't treat me like this!" The young master turned pale, struggling and unwilling to leave.

Chou Chenghong walked straight into the Imperial College without looking back.

The young master who was framed stared blankly at Chou Chenghong who had left, as if he hadn't realized that he had cleared himself of the suspicion.

There was no sound outside the Imperial Prison.

Those who witnessed this farce, and saw His Royal Highness treating a son like this, couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Imperial examinations are of great significance to scholars. If you study hard for ten years and cannot even enter the examination room, it will be the worst.

Therefore, under this farce, everyone was quiet for a while, and they walked into the examination room in silence.

I was afraid that it would be my turn next.

As for the young master who was dragged away, no one cared.

Pei Jinglin looked at the candidates filing in, and gradually covered Chou Chenghong's back, with a dazed expression.

"Brother..." Seeing the Prince's indifferent attitude towards Pei Jinglin, Pei Qi'an yelled worriedly.

"Prince...seems to have grown a lot." Pei Jinglin murmured softly.

He is becoming more and more powerful, and his methods are decisive and ruthless, as can be seen by disturbing the order of the examination room.

What made Qiu Chenghong change?

"I heard that the crown prince is one of the invigilators for this imperial examination. The crown prince invited the emperor on his own initiative. It shouldn't affect your imperial examination, brother..." Pei Qi'an felt that he was going to look like a hardworking old woman, and he became I worry about this and that every day.

Now I have to worry about whether the prince will wear small shoes for his elder brother.

"No." Pei Jinglin said firmly.

After finishing speaking, he dragged Pei Qi'an into the Imperial College.

"Eh, bro, slow down..."

Pei Qi'an's voice also gradually dissipated in front of the Guozijian gate.

The three-day imperial examination was going on in full swing. In the past three days, the invigilators had changed from batch to batch, but those candidates were all fighting hard in front of the examination seats.

One person in a separate room, eating, drinking and drinking in the same place. What is more torturous than the answer sheet is the torment during these three days.

The imperial examination is not only about the Four Books and Five Classics.

……

Another bell rang.

The three-day imperial examination has come to an end.

The quiet Imperial College suddenly became noisy, and all the candidates rushed out.

Those invigilators who collected all the answer sheets also hurried to a room in the Imperial College.

Pei Jinglin and Pei Qi'an also came out, they were only separated by one room, so they could see each other as soon as they came out.

"Brother, hurry up, hurry up, go back to the house, I'm going to be stinking to death by myself, and I will take the exam in one room for three days, who came up with this idea!" Pei Qi'an raised his hand and smelled himself sleeve, and stuck out his tongue in disgust.

"I'm going to have a sour smell on my body." Pei Qi'an found it hard to accept.

Pei Jinglin's face was full of tiredness, and it didn't have the clear and comfortable feeling three days ago, and the clothes on his body were also a little wrinkled, but they looked neat and tidy anyway.

"Qian, you go back first, I have something else to do." Pei Jinglin pressed his forehead, and his voice was a little weak.

"Brother, don't you still want to find Mrs...." Pei Qi'an stopped talking, and it was easy to be caught by someone who said such a thing just after taking the imperial examination.

Pei Jinglin didn't say a word, and from the corner of his vision, he saw hurried footsteps about to pass Chou Chenghong who was walking under the eaves of the corridor and was about to turn the corner, he didn't care so much at once, and left in a hurry after saying "you go back to the house first".

Pei Qi'an looked at the direction in which Pei Jinglin was leaving, and clearly saw the Prince's back, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, why did his elder brother care so much about the Prince?

Pei Qi'an stroked his chin thoughtfully, then was disgusted by the sticky smell on his body, shivered a few times and hurried out of the Imperial College.

Chou Chenghong walked quickly, and after turning a corner and walking for a while, his hand was suddenly pulled.

Subconsciously, she was about to throw it away, only to hear a familiar voice behind her.

"Hong'er." Pei Jinglin panted slightly.

Chou Chenghong's body froze, and the movements of his hands also stopped. There were no guards behind him, and this was a blind spot, so no one noticed the two people at the corner under the eaves.

"The room needs to be cleared after the imperial examination, and Mr. Pei is not allowed to stay long." This was the first time Qiu Chenghong talked to Pei Jinglin these days.

But when he opened his mouth, he was extremely alienated.

"Hong'er, you..." Pei Jinglin took a few steps back in disbelief, it was hard to imagine Chou Chenghong's sudden temperament change.

Chou Chenghong lowered his eyes, did not speak, but did not leave, as if he was waiting for what Pei Jinglin would say next.

"Are you really following the prime minister's words and are you going to stay away from me? You can't trust me like that?" Pei Jinglin smiled mockingly, as if laughing at his own wishful thinking.

It's ridiculous that Qiu Chenghong could forget the words between the two because of what Xi Yuankui said, but he was always thinking about what he promised to Qiu Chenghong.

"Didn't Senior Brother betray me first? Senior Brother, you have already gone to find Uncle Nine Emperors, and now there is no point in bringing up the Prime Minister." Chou Chenghong stated without emotion as if the corners of his mouth were drawn into a line.

A few words made Pei Jinglin understand that Qiu Chenghong thought he was on the side of Qiu Longci.

It's not just because of the prime minister.

Pei Jinglin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hong'er, listen to me. It's not what you think that I'm going to find the prince. The prime minister is not as simple as we thought. The prime minister colluded with the enemy and treason. He has been planning this matter for many years. Even you are just a pawn in his hands." Seeing that there was no one around, Pei Jinglin lowered his voice and said hurriedly.

Hearing these words, Chou Chenghong's expression changed in an instant. These words were obviously beyond what he could have expected.

"There are many forces behind the prime minister, and I don't know how many countries I have relations with. I can't do it alone, even if the two of us work together. This matter requires the help of the prince. I, I will go to the prince in your name." Pei Jinglin Speaking of this, there was a moment of uneasiness on his face, but he quickly suppressed it.

He didn't know if Chou Chenghong would believe what he said so much, collaborating with the enemy and treason is a great crime, but apart from this, who knows that a person who has educated himself for more than ten years is actually out of the purpose of using himself, I'm afraid it is Difficult to accept.

When Pei Jinglin said this, Chou Chenghong could also think of the connection behind it.

"Impossible, the prime minister is my grandfather, how could he treat me like this..." Chou Chenghong really did what he thought, and was unwilling to accept this fact.

Pei Jinglin looked up at him, but it was obvious that Chou Chenghong's face didn't look like he didn't want to believe it after hearing this kind of thing, but he shook his head again and again as if breaking down, his eyes were dull, and his brows were also tightly frowned. Show pained look.

"Hong'er, what's wrong with you?" Pei Jinglin's heart trembled, and he quickly reached out to help him, why did he feel that there was something wrong with Chou Chenghong.
