The noble boy likes to play chess

After being injured, Ling Zimo didn't let Shu Jing go out because he was afraid that he would be in danger again

Seeing Zimo's frustrated face when he came back, Shu Jing knew that he hadn't found any clues, so he made tea for him and said, "They don't care about me, it's hard for us to find clues, we can Wait patiently, since I know their secret, it will always be a thorn in their heart, and they will definitely come to the door again."

"What on earth do you know that made you willing to be a bait yourself to force them to show their flaws?" Shu Jing never mentioned it, and he didn't want to ask at all, but it was about Jing'er's safety, Ling Zimo had to ask, and he had to know the cause and effect and investigate. It's not that hard to get up.

It's not that Shu Jing doesn't trust Zimo, nor is he afraid that he will be hurt. On the contrary, he believes that Zimo has enough self-protection ability. He just doesn't want to involve Zimo. If possible, he wants to let go of it. However, when he met, he couldn't pretend that nothing happened.

"That day, they were assassinated in the street. In the future, if they find out here, can you guarantee that they won't hurt others?"

Yes, if we find out here, how can we let go of the people under the same roof? Looking at Zimo's worried eyes, thinking of An Hao who knows nothing and Luo Nan who is more innocent, Shu Jing can't help but let go: "Now seven The prince Xuanyuan Wenjing is a fake, and the person impersonating him is also of royal blood."

This is indeed a big event. Once exposed, impersonating a prince is not just a simple crime of deceiving the emperor. However, is it so easy to pretend to be a prince?

Seeing Zimo's changing expression, Shu Jing continued to explain: "The heirs of Beiyuan Kingdom's royal family will get a tattoo when they are born for a hundred days. It is said that the tattoo cannot be removed by using an extremely rare drug. If you cut it off, there will still be new flesh that grows out. Moreover, this skill is strictly controlled in the palace, and the outside world cannot know. Such tattoos are only for the sons and grandsons of the reigning emperor, and the children of the emperor's brothers no longer have it. When the current emperor came to the throne, there were not many nephews with tattoos, so there were only a handful of people who could pretend to be the seventh prince, and what I care more about is his purpose."

"What about the real Seventh Prince? Was he killed?"

"Missing." Shu Jing said calmly without blinking.

A prince, whether it is true or not, can't be recognized. It can be seen how weak the royal family's family relationship is. Ling Zimo was slightly moved.Shu Jing has always ignored government affairs, and in the past, he could avoid getting involved with officials and royal relatives, but this time it was a bit abnormal, Ling Zimo looked into Shu Jing's eyes and asked, "Do you know the real Seventh Prince? Why didn't you avoid it this time?"

Shu Jing's eyes flickered, his small mouth was opened, and it was pursed into a line. When he met Zimo's eyes, he quickly moved away, and his fingers unconsciously covered his lips.

Ling Zimo had already guessed the answer from his reaction, touched his head gently, and said, "It's fine if you don't want to say it, remember, I will always be with you, just support you."

"Zimo, I..." For many years, I never mentioned my past, especially the part where I was Xuanyuan Wenjing. Now, I really don't know how to speak. If I can, I would like to be born as Shu Jing is a child who grew up in an ordinary family.

"Let's talk when you want to talk." I couldn't bear to see his frown. From the first time I saw him, I knew that there were too many stories about him. I believe that one day, he would be willing to speak out.

Not long after, Luo Nan and An Hao came back. Today is the day when the rankings are released. Some families are happy and others are sad. Seeing how happy they are, they must be on the list.

Luo Nan breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had deep worries. He was afraid of repeating last year's experience and failing in the retest.An Hao seemed to be on the list by himself. He was happier than Luo Nan. He was jumping and jumping when he walked. When he saw Shu Jing, he hurriedly reported the good news: "This scholar is really talented. Maybe he can become an official."

"Just his temperament, Xuan!" Shu Jing poured a basin of cold water on his head.

"Young Master, I don't want you to be such a bully. The scholar has a good personality and a good conduct. Why can't he be an official?" Before Luo Nan said anything, An Hao started to "fight the injustice".

Luo Nan was not at all surprised when Shu Jing said that. He had already mentioned the disadvantages that were not conducive to the re-examination: first, he was obsessed with studying and didn't know the current affairs; second, he was not good at socializing.This is exactly what Luo Nan is worried and anxious about.

"This An Hao is very eccentric now, Jing'er won't say such things for no reason, you boy, don't make a fuss." Ling Zimo glared at An Hao, and said jokingly.

In fact, An Hao knew very well that what the young master said was basically what he said, and it was just a quick talk just now, but he knew the result before he tried it, and he always felt uncomfortable.

Shu Jing changed his sitting position, and said solemnly: "Luo Nan, you have as much time as you have to make changes until the retest. You can look at An Hao and learn from Lin Fang. If you can give it a try , maybe there is still a chance.”

Luo Nan responded, "Yes, thank you Mr. Shu."

Seeing that Shu Jing didn't care about what he just said, An Hao smiled obediently again, and discussed with Shu Jing: "Master, Luo Nan and his fellow countrymen, and a Mr. Wen have a meal to celebrate today's nomination. Want to go together, okay?"

"Lin Fang, Wen Jingxuan?" Shu Jing reckoned that it was these two people, but asked anyway.

"Yes, we happened to meet each other today, so we made an appointment to have dinner together." Speaking of this, Luo Nan looked at Shu Jing in embarrassment, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Brother Lin still I wanted to learn chess with you, my lord, but I didn’t even see you in the Huanyue Tower for a few days, so I thought, I wanted to ask you, lord, when will you go?”

An Hao twisted Luo Nan's arm and preached in a low voice: "I told you not to ask, but still ask!?"

Hearing his more and more faltering words, but only because of such a trivial matter, Shu Jing smiled silently, and looked at it meaningfully: "You didn't tell Lin Fang that we lived together?"

Luo Nan immediately blushed, and her words became even more awkward: "I, that, I... I didn't mention it."

That's okay, it's okay for Lin to put it down, the fake seventh prince still has to guard against it, Shu Jing said casually: "Then you don't mention it, if you get stuck here every day, it will be troublesome. Next time If I have the chance, I will play a few more rounds with him."

Luo Nan thought that if he didn't mention this to them, it would make Shu Jing feel that he looked down on him. After hearing what he said, the burden in his heart disappeared instantly, and he went out to eat easily.

An Hao turned back stiffly, and asked pitifully, "Master, I've already bought groceries, can I go out to eat too."

Shu Jing looked at him with a half-smile: "When did I stop you from passing?"

"Wen Jingxuan?" After they left, Ling Zimo read out the name full of doubts.

"Well, it's Xuanyuan Wenjing. We've already met him. Judging by his performance, I don't know that I already know his secret." Now that he had told Zimo, Shu Jing didn't hide it.

When we met in the Huanyue Building that day, Shu Jing didn't think too much about it, and now it's a little clearer: this "eldest young master" pretends to be the Seventh Prince and takes the autumn test under the name Wen Jingxuan. With the qualifications to enter the court, as a prince who is about to be forgotten and has a ban, doing so is more direct and faster than waiting for the emperor's attention in the mansion. Of course, there are also risks. If not, the emperor will only think that he has lost the face of the royal family, and there will be no chance in the future. This is a big gamble that requires courage.

Although it was only for a few hours, judging from what Shu Jing saw of Wen Jingxuan, it was more likely that he would be appreciated by the emperor.Enter the court, and then what?Do you want to fight for the crown prince?Is it weak or fierce?
