Jade of Rebirth

On March [-]th, it was the Guozijian exam.

Ordinary scientific examinations take two and a half days, while the Guozijian examination only takes one and a half days, divided into three sessions, namely current affairs policies, poems and essays.

Yuli was well-prepared, so she went to the Guozijian exam with confidence. When she entered the exam room, she saw Qin Fei. He bowed to him with a smile on his face.

Yu Li naturally returned the gift with a kind face.Qin Fei is a person who can endure what ordinary people cannot. If ordinary people can do this, either they have greater ambitions in their hearts, or they are really smart and aware of current affairs.As for Qin Fei, he must have considered both, and Yu Li did not dare to underestimate him.

After three exams, Yuli finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had done his best, and the final result could only be determined by fate.When he left the Guozijian, he saw Yuan Heng standing outside the door waiting for him. He was wearing a royal blue round-neck brocade dress, with a long body and a tall and tall instrument. Seeing him coming out, Yuan Heng's eyes lit up. ,road:

"Li'er!"

A smile appeared on Yuli's face, and he quickened his pace: "My lord!"

People around lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at the two of them.

Yu Li just pretended that there were no people around, and walked up to Yuan Heng: "Why are you here? How long have you been waiting outside?"

"It didn't take long, are you cold?" Yuan Heng said, taking off the cloak on his body and putting it on for him. Blocked by his side, but his face remained unchanged, he said, "Spring is expected to be cold, be careful not to get cold."

Yuli just didn't know, but still showed a sweet smile: "Just go back soon, I'm hungry after the exam for a long time, let's go back to the palace for dinner."

"Yeah." Yuan Heng didn't care about the crowd at all, he quickly took Yu Li's hand and sent him to the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Yu Li was about to ask Yuan Heng, when he saw Yuan Heng's expression turned a little sullen, he immediately asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"There are assassins in the crowd opposite." Yuan Heng was afraid for a while, but fortunately he came to pick up Yu Li in person today, otherwise if he was allowed to go back to the palace alone, he might be assassinated, he said, opening the curtains of the car, Shuilong chant to the water dragon outside, "Shuilong chant, ask someone to investigate."

"Yes."

"What's going on?" Yu Li didn't know martial arts, so he didn't notice anything unusual.However, he suddenly remembered the smiling face when he met Qin Fei just now, and felt something was wrong, "I met Qin Fei just now, is it him..."

After hearing this, Yuan Heng said in disgust: "It is very likely that my brothers would not do such stupid things like assassination in broad daylight." Then he said, "I have disliked this Qin family for a long time, I must find a reason to get rid of it." them."

Yuli said: "Duke Qin is domineering, and he supports King Jing, so he must be eliminated."

"Not only Qin Guogong, but Jing Wang is also a disaster... Forget it, we will discuss it after we go back. I'm afraid there will not only be a wave of assassins, but we'd better go back to the palace as soon as possible." Yuan Heng stretched out his hand and hugged Yu Li into his arms. Protecting him while comforting him, "But Li'er, don't be afraid, with me here, I will definitely not let them hurt you."

"Yeah." Yu Li nodded, hugging him tightly as if relying on him.

Not long after returning to the palace, the hidden guard sent by Shui Longyin came back to report:

"Master, the other party doesn't look like a hidden guard in the palace. They followed for a while, but when they saw that there was nowhere to attack, they went back."

"Did you startle the snake?"

"Master didn't give orders, so I dare not startle the snake." The dark guard bowed his head respectfully.

"Very good." Yuan Heng stood by the window with his hands behind his back, his brows and eyes cast a shadow by the falling black hair, "Find some people to follow Qin Yue's stepson, Qin Fei, and find a suitable time to kill him."

"Yes!"

Yu Li who was at the side had been listening quietly, and when he saw the hidden guard retreating, he said, "Qin Fei deserves to die, but how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer?"

Yuan Heng smiled evilly: "Li'er, this kind of person is not worth wasting your thoughts, I'll just kill him for you!" Then he said, "I just received the news that your father's matter can be reversed." gone."

"Ok?"

Yuan Heng explained: "Last time, I never told you who the person he was involved in was. Actually, the person who offended Emperor Father was Chen Tongdao, the servant of the Ministry of Rites. The third day of March is King Ming's death day. He hoped that his father would put King Ming's jade certificate back to Chengyou Palace to show his father's deep brotherhood. But his father hated King Ming so much that no one else dared to Mentioning him, because of his stubborn temper, insisted on mentioning it, which offended the royal father. Originally, he was demoted directly to the people, but your father and some other ministers joined the people to plead for mercy, so he was saved, but it was changed to relegation. "

"Is King Ming the one who was implicated in the misfortune of witchcraft back then?" Yu Li asked, "But why did my father go into this muddy water? I have never heard that he and Tongdao Chen are friends."

"Yes, I don't understand the reason why your father pleaded for him." Yuan Heng shook his head and said, "But Zheng Huai did not find any so-called evidence in Yufu, and I put his Evidence that people were also involved in it was sent to him secretly, and he was threatened, so he naturally threw out the mouse."

"So that's it." Yu Li nodded, and said thoughtfully, "From this point of view, my father may have really accepted bribes..." After all, Yu Zhangci would not take such a big risk to do something fundamental. There was no reward, and Chen Tongdao was not his friend, so there was only one reason, he must have received some benefits...

Yuan Heng held down his hand, "Li'er, you just need to know about this matter. There are not many ministers in the court who are really calm, and the father is not someone who can't rub the sand in his eyes... It's just that this matter of King Ming... Things are absolutely untouchable."

Yu Li became more and more puzzled: "Why does the father hate King Ming so much?"

Yuan Heng shook his head, with a confused look on his face: "I also asked my concubine mother in private, but concubine mother kept her mouth shut. Probably this matter is also an untouchable secret."

The two were talking, but someone said outside: "My lord, someone sent a letter outside."

"Come in."

The servant came in and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, there is a maid who stuffed a letter into the gate guard and left. It is said that the maid looks strange and doesn't look like anyone in the surrounding palace." Then he presented the letter to the guard. Yuan Heng.

Yuan Heng saw that it said "Concubine Zhao's personal invitation" on it, he frowned and looked up at Yu Li: "Li Er, it's for you."

Yu Li raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Open it and see?"

Yuan Heng opened it, and saw that one of the thin letterheads read:

"I haven't congratulated the concubine on her marriage yet, so I'm here to send it today. On the hook of the golden phoenix."

After Yuan Heng and Yu Li finished watching, they looked at each other, feeling baffled: A gift?What gift?And why did this golden phoenix hook suddenly think of giving a gift?
