Chapter 276 - 2

“Thump thump!”

There was a knock on the door, and a slightly mature voice.

“Your Highness, this servant requests an audience.”

“Come in.” The ninth Prince said.

The door was pushed open, and a mature woman in a purple short skirt came in and closed the door.

If Xiao ran was here, he would definitely recognize that the person in front of him was none other than aunt Shea. She wanted to acknowledge her family, but she was hiding a shocking secret. She wanted to control him and work for the ninth Prince.

“Your Highness!” Aunt Xue bowed respectfully.

“What are you doing here?” The ninth Prince said.

“This servant heard that Xiao ning had died, so I came here to ask for permission to go to his place to try.” Aunt Xue said.

The ninth Prince shook his head.

“You can’t use this hidden chess piece of yours yet. Not to mention that he hates you now, even if he listens to you, it’s a waste to use you on this matter.”

Aunt Xue was very smart. She asked tentatively,””Your Highness, do you already have an idea?”

“Yes.” The ninth Prince nodded.

He looked at Daoist priest Xuan Xin.

“Get people to investigate this matter at all costs. This Prince wants to see who is behind this and who has us in their plans. I’d like to see which good brother has this kind of ability. ”

“Yes.” Taoist master Xuan Xin nodded.

“I’m going out for a while!” Then, the ninth Prince left the study.

When the first rays of the morning sun shone down.

The door opened.

Xiao ran came out of the bedroom and stretched his back. He looked at the bright sun and smiled.”The show is about to start.”

After washing up.

He left the manor.

He stopped at the soft water tofu shop.

He was not in a hurry to go to the divine sword guards. He found an empty seat and sat down. There were three people sitting at the table. They were dressed like scholars and did not speak the local dialect of the capital. It seemed like they were examinees who had come from other places.

Just a moment ago, they were still discussing with righteous indignation, scolding how unfair the exam was. In the next second, they were like frost-beaten eggplants. They immediately wilted. They took out money from their pockets, placed it on the table, and left with their heads lowered.

“Stop there.” Xiao ran said.

“My, my Lord, what are you doing?” The three of them were extremely nervous.

They had already recognized that the silver sword guard in front of them was the ruthless man who was in charge of the outer inspection of the examination hall yesterday.

A pair of sharp eyes saw through Lin Yunyi’s cheating methods and locked them up.

According to a reliable source.

Lin Yunyi’s father was the Minister of Justice, and he had personally gone to the Imperial prison to ask for Lin Yunyi, but he had returned in failure.

And they were actually speaking ill of the Imperial court in front of him. If they were charged with a crime, they wouldn’t even have a place to cry.

“Watch your mouth, be careful of what you say.” Xiao ran warned.

“Thank you for your guidance, Sir. We will remember it in our hearts!”

Waving their hands, the three thanked him and left in a hurry.

Shui Ling walked over and placed the deep-fried dough sticks, soy milk, steamed buns, and salted vegetables in front of Xiao ran.

Well, this time, he gave her two more tea eggs.

While eating breakfast, she didn’t care about the strange looks around her.

The lively breakfast shop became silent.

After dinner.

This time, Xiao ran took out two taels of silver and placed them on the table.

As soon as he arrived at the divine sword guards, he was called over by Shen Yiming.

In the room.

All four of them were here.

“Is there any news from Master Fu?” Xiao ran asked.

“Not yet,” Shen Yiming shook his head and told her everything he knew.

“According to the news from the palace, His Majesty is ill and occasionally caught a cold. He didn’t even attend this morning’s court session, much less see Lord Fu.”

“Does this mean that Master Fu has been in the palace since last night?”

“Yes.” Shen Yiming nodded.

“What do you guys think?” Xiao ran asked.

“Before you came, the three of us had a discussion. From what we’ve seen, he’s planning to drag things out to buy time for the ninth Prince so he can resolve this matter perfectly. However, I don’t understand. Now that things have come to this point, what use is the little time he has spent so much effort to buy?” Shen Yiming said.

“Have some tea.” Xiao Zhou took the teapot and poured a cup for the three of them.

The tea was snow ginseng tea, which Shen Yiming got from Xiao ran.

He took a sip.

Xiao ran opened his mouth and briefly explained how Xiao ning tried to assassinate him last night.

Then, he told her the last conversation between the two of them.

After listening.

Xiao Zhou looked concerned.”Brother Xiao, are you alright?”

Bang! Bang!

Shen Yiming knocked him on the head.”Xiao ran can sit here and drink tea. What could happen?”

His expression was grave.

“If what you said is true, then this matter is getting more and more complicated.”

Taoist master Xuan Yang agreed.”If the ninth Prince isn’t behind this, then who is?”

Xiao Zhou rolled her eyes.”Who else could it be? Naturally, it’s those good sons he raised. ”

“Shut up!” Xiao ran and the other two glared at him.

“What do you plan to do?” Shen Yiming asked.

“Wait!” Xiao ran said.

After a discussion, the four of them waited for news here.

As time passed.

The Vermilion Bird Avenue led directly to the South Gate of the Imperial Palace. It was a place that the officials had to pass through every day to attend the court. From here, one could enter the Imperial Palace and go all the way to the Xuanhe Hall, where hundreds of officials discussed court Affairs.

After a night of fermentation.

Lin Yunyi and the others had cheated on the exam, and they were the first to cause an uproar in the capital’s circle of scholars.

Other than the exam candidates, all the scholars had their own problems. If they did not resolve it this time, this would happen again during the fall quarter examinations every year.

Then wouldn’t they, the children of the humble class, never have a chance to shine?
