Although Bai Guo promised not to say what Princess Xiaoyu said today, His Royal Highness King Jing, who always pays close attention to his daughter-in-law's every move, soon received a secret letter from his subordinates.

The conversations of the three princesses can be clearly seen on the secret letter. Xie Lin stood in the study and read the contents of the letter with a calm expression. It is not surprising that Princess Xiaoyu would say such words, and even said that Xie Lin understood better. The real purpose of Princess Xiaoyu's words was to tell him.

From the memory of Xie Lin's previous life, the family behind the concubine of Yu Wang has long been soberly aware that although Yu Wang has strong ambitions, he is a hypocrite with ambition but no ability. Married to him by marriage, the generals' family didn't even bother to be with him, from beginning to end they were innocent and acted aboveboard.

And the meaning of Princess Yu this time is also very clear. Her family has no plans to seize Tan Hunshui, the concubine, and she will definitely not help King Yu ascend the throne. King Yu's behavior has nothing to do with her family , To die or to live as he pleases.

"He's a smart man." Xie Lin tapped his finger on the table and said slowly, "Where is the princess now?"

The servant who was waiting beside him respectfully said: "Go back to Your Highness, it seems that the princess should go back to the main courtyard at this time."

Xie Lin nodded lightly, and was about to speak, but heard a crisp knock on the door.

"Who is it?" the valet asked in a low voice as he quickly walked to the door.

Xie Lin raised his eyes and frowned slightly.

He had ordered the people below not to approach the study room if there was no serious matter. Could it be that something important happened in the court?

Thinking in this way, the valet has already opened the door of the study, not wanting a pair of clear and smiling eyes to fall into his line of sight, and slowly stepped into the room with a clear and faint look of curiosity.

Xie Lin's gaze also fell on the person who came, and he was taken aback for a moment, then asked with a bit of reproach: "Why are you here? Didn't the imperial doctor tell you to rest well and not run around?"

"The imperial doctor also said that the baby will be healthy only if it moves properly." Bai Guo bent her eyes and looked directly at Xie Lin without fear, until the man's expression of disapproval turned into a look of helplessness.

Xie Lin asked, "Are you tired?"

Bai Guo shook her head, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not a porcelain doll, why both of you are afraid of me bumping into each other..."

Xie Lin laughed, pulled the young man back to his side, and touched his cheeks that were red from the wind: "Conceiving twins is inherently more difficult than women, so it's always good to be careful."

Bai Guo is not a capricious person, seeing Xie Lin's eyes full of concern, he pursed his lips, and secretly held the other's palm: "I will be very careful."

After all, he had been looking forward to the baby in his stomach for a long time. Although he didn't say it often, he paid more attention to the two little lives in his stomach than anyone else in his heart.

The two talked for a while in the study, and Bai Guo couldn't bear the fatigue, and after walking for a while, he became a little sleepy.Seeing this, Xie Lin coaxed him back to his room for a rest.

Bai Guo wanted to get close to Xie Lin in his heart, and refused to let go of his sleeves, looking a bit entangled.

Xie Lin put the ginkgo fruit on the couch, stepped back and pulled up the curtain.

It was probably because she was concerned that Bai Guo was now in a double body, Xie Lin didn't do too much, only made Bai Guo feel comfortable twice, and after slowly falling asleep, he ordered the servants below to prepare a bucket of cold water, and went in for half an hour to soak. Finish.

The closer the examination was, the more lively the capital became. On the contrary, the mansions of the princes were very cold.

Prince Xie Zhao was seriously ill one after another, but under the heavy responsibility entrusted by Emperor Jin Yuan, he was absolutely negligent, so after only two or three days, Xie Zhao lost a whole circle of weight. It looked like it could fall down at any moment.

"His Royal Highness has worked so hard." The day before the exam, Liang Liyuan, one of the chief examiners, served him a cup of tea in the Prince's East Palace.

Xie Zhao rubbed his tired forehead, but his expression was always gentle: "My lord is working hard too."

Liang Liyuan waved his hands when he heard the words, and complimented: "Naturally, my humble minister is not as good as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

As a prince, Xie Zhao has been tired of listening to these words for more than ten years. He looked up and saw that it was not too early, so he issued an order to evict guests: "Tomorrow, I will invite you to preside over the overall situation in the examination room. I am a bit tired right now, so I won't send you any more." My lord."

Liang Liyuan got up, his drooping eyes fell on the teacup that Xie Zhao had lightly sipped, and he looked away calmly, and said with a smile, "The minister will take his leave first?"

Xie Zhao's eyelids gradually sank, he waved his hands and said, "Go."

After Liang Liyuan got up to leave, the crown prince's side concubine Wen Sushu walked over from the side hall with a baby hanging behind her, and said with concern: "Your Highness is feeling uncomfortable again, I'm going to invite the imperial doctor."

The little emperor's grandson Xie He tugged at Wen Sushu's sleeve, his big eyes were also full of worry.

"It's nothing." Seeing the two of them coming, Xie Zhao pulled himself together and handed Xie He to his side, asking him what he had learned and what homework he had done today.

Although Xie He is a little mischievous on weekdays, he is always very well-behaved in front of Xie Zhao. He carefully and clearly articulated what he did today in front of Xie Zhao. Eyes, flattered to ask for praise from father...

"Hush." ​​Facing the dazed and faint disappointment in the little emperor's grandson's eyes, Wen Sushu gently embraced him, knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness is tired, can He'er come back after His Royal Highness wakes up?"

Xie He looked at his father who was sleeping quietly with his eyes closed. He pursed his mouth at first, but soon pretended to be an adult and said: "I know, father is tired, let him sleep quickly."

Wen Sushu touched Xie He's sensible little head: "He'er has grown up."

I thought Xie Zhao was just too tired, and Wen Sushu didn't bother Xie Zhao too much, but I didn't expect Xie Zhao to sleep for a whole day, and when he woke up in a daze, he ran into Wen Su when he opened his eyes With his red eyes, Shu felt dazed, and said hoarsely, "How long have I been asleep?"

"A whole day." Wen Sushu brought water to Xie Zhao's lips and said softly, "Three imperial physicians came to treat His Highness, and even His Majesty's royal imperial physician came to treat His Highness, but they couldn't see it. What happened, just say that His Highness is overworked."

Xie Zhao supported the side of the couch and sat up, pressed his forehead: "You are worried again."

Wen Sushu shook his head: "I'm fine, I just frightened He'er."

"He'er..." Xie Zhao felt a little guilty for his son, "I won't be alone in the future."

Wen Sushu pursed her lips and said nothing.

Xie Zhao woke up for a while, Wen Sushu was by his side, the two of them stayed quietly for a moment, then he suddenly asked, "How about today's test?"

Wen Sushu had known that he would ask this question, so he said: "The deputy chief envoys of the Inspectorate worked very hard to find out a few bold cases who copied the documents, and now they are all escorted to the government, and the rest are fine. I just heard someone report that this year's stereotyped and classic exam questions are very tricky."

Xie Zhaodao: "This year's topic is Mr. Liang's own pen and knife. Thinking back to when he won three yuan in a row, his knowledge research was exceptionally thorough. If the topic is difficult, it's not too surprising."

Wen Sushu nodded after hearing this, and said no more.

----

The prince was sick, and the emperor was very concerned when he heard the words, and sent tonics like flowing water to the East Palace, and ordered that the morning and evening appointments be dispensed with, so that he could recover from his illness.

And while the prince was recuperating behind closed doors, the three exams that would be held soon came to an end.

When the candidates finally walked out of the examination room, some broke down and cried, some cried with joy, some were triumphant, and some returned to the restaurant and pulled the rope in the middle of the night to prepare to kill themselves... Fortunately, this brother's behavior was caught by his classmates in time It was discovered that after being in a coma for a day and a night, his life was almost saved.

"What do you think you are doing this for? If you failed the exam, it would be a big deal to start over three years later. If you die, would you be worthy of your parents, wife and children?!" A classmate and friend yelled at the brother who was about to hang himself, hating Tiebucheng very much steel.

"I, ahem... I don't have one." The scholar who hanged himself said with difficulty, raised his hand and grabbed the hand of his classmate, widened his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, someone, someone hurt me..."

The classmate thought he heard it wrong, jumped up from the bed, looked left and right nervously to make sure there was no one else in the room, and then said, "You mean someone intentionally harmed you, so they fabricated the illusion that you were going to hang yourself? "

The hanged scholar nodded, and begged his classmates: "Report to the official for me."

A classmate friend asked him: "Do you know who the person who hurt you is?"

The hanged scholar shook his head and said dryly: "I don't know that person, but I went back to the restaurant early after the exam, and wanted to ask the waiter for water to cleanse myself, and I didn't want to meet a group of students in the corridor. Because I have never seen me, I have no fear when speaking, I only heard some booklets, and the answers are all right..."

The classmates and friends are not stupid, and they were furious when they heard this: "That group of people cheated?!"

The hanged scholar nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Later, I was about to leave. I didn't expect that a few scholars came back from the next door. Those who raised people to see people came and turned silently. Then I was discovered... and later, I was framed and hanged myself. You will understand."

The classmate and friend said bitterly: "Those people are really despicable and vicious! You can rest easy, brother, and watch me go to the government to seek justice for you! In a majestic capital, at the feet of the emperor, someone dares to do such evil, there is no law!"

The scholar who hanged himself was touched and said, "Thank you Brother Liu!"

My classmate, namely Liu Juren, patted his chest with a sense of justice and said: "I wait for scholars to walk upright and sit upright, and we must not let these miscellaneous fish ruin a pool of clear water."

Liu Juren took the rope that almost took the life of the scholar who hanged himself, and went to Shuntian Mansion in a rage.However, the hanged scholar who was lying on the bed was so weak that he couldn't help but changed his expression. After he got up and drank a pot of cold water, he took out a bamboo flute from his arms and played it.

The bamboo flute attracted dusty pigeons. He smashed a roll of yellow paper on the pigeon's leg, let the pigeon fly out, and then went back to bed and lay down again.

At the same time, Liu Juren, who rushed into Shuntian Mansion, held up a thick rope, knelt in front of the governor of Shuntian Mansion, and said in a mournful voice, "My lord! The grassroots want to report to the police and expose that there are some candidates in this imperial examination who communicated with officials and practiced fraud for personal gain." Evil things, and after leaking the news, I want to take the lives of innocent children and then hurry up, and I ask the adults to make the decision, and give justice to those innocent children, and please give justice to thousands of children!"
