After Ji Qingzhou and Tu Dayou returned to the small courtyard, Yao Changan called them to the main house.

The fight between the two of them was interrupted before, and he hadn't had time to settle the score with the two of them. Now that he has free time, he naturally wants to teach him a lesson, lest the two little bastards make trouble again.

"Master, it's all my fault. Qingzhou didn't know the rules when he first entered the palace. You disturbed him just this time." Tu Dayou knelt in front of Yao Changan, leaned over to give Yao Changan a thump Leg, and said: "I promise, I will never fight with him again."

Yao Changan raised his foot and kicked Tu Dayou with his hand, and said coldly, "Kneel down."

After hearing the words, Tu Dayou hurriedly knelt down obediently, but there was still no fear on his face.

"Ji Qingzhou, tell me, who did it first?" Yao Changan looked at Ji Qingzhou and asked.

Ji Qingzhou lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "It was Tuda who made the first move."

As soon as he said this, Tu Da was slightly taken aback, but his expression quickly returned to normal, and he echoed: "It was indeed me who did it."

Yao Chang'an looked at Ji Qingzhou deeply, and said for a long time: "You should go out first."

Ji Qingzhou's words suddenly sounded like throwing the blame on Tu Dayou, but Yao Changan was not as simple-minded as Tu Dayou, so he heard another meaning in Ji Qingzhou's words.It was true that the two of them were fighting, but Tu Dayou had clearly been protecting him, it was impossible for Yao Changan not to see something wrong.

If Ji Qingzhou also defended the other party like Tu Dayou defended him at this time, it would not only be useless but hypocritical.It's better to stop the topic and give Yao Changan a chance to ask questions.

Tu Dayou glanced at Ji Qingzhou, and seemed a little worried.

"Get out!" Yao Changan raised his voice.

After all, Tu Dayou didn't want to make his master angry anymore, so he had to step out of the room without hesitation.After he left the house, Yao Changan said behind him: "Go and kneel in the yard, and let you get up when you get up."

Tu Dayou didn't dare to disobey, and knelt down in the courtyard obediently.

"If Dayou had half the brains of yours, our family wouldn't have to worry about him." Yao Changan looked at Ji Qingzhou, sighed softly, "Ji Qingzhou, can you think of him?"

Hearing this, Ji Qingzhou said: "He was thinking of you, and he kept telling me that it was your boss who picked me out of Yanting. I accept his favor, and I also accept his intention... Manager Yao doesn't have to worry, If I cause trouble, even if I try my best, I won't drag him into the water."

"You knew it wasn't our family who picked you here?" Yao Changan asked.

"I wasn't sure before, but now I'm sure." Ji Qingzhou said.

Director Yao suddenly smiled slightly when he heard the words: "I don't know what you two are hiding from our family, and our family doesn't ask, there is only one... Things should be done better, I don't want me, a silly apprentice, kindly I picked up a dying ghost." "Yes." Ji Qingzhou nodded slightly.

Yao Changan waved his hand when he heard the words, and sent Ji Qingzhou out.

On that day, Tu Dayou knelt in the courtyard for half a day under the bright April sun.

After nightfall, he went to the Imperial Hospital and came back with a bag full of medicine.

"Although you have suffered a bit from this move, it is still a mistake." Tu Dayou said while applying wound medicine to Ji Qingzhou's face: "This time, everyone in the palace knows that we have been injured. Grabbing medicine is much more logical.

Ji Qingzhou looked at Tu Dayou through the dim candlelight in the room, and saw that under the thick black eyebrows of the other party, a pair of eyes were full of satisfaction, as if just getting some wound medicine was a very happy thing for him.

"Brother Dayou, I have something to ask you." Ji Qingzhou said.

Tu Dayou looked at him and said, "What's the matter?"

"You and I have never met, and you don't even know anything about my temperament. Why do you help me?" Ji Qingzhou asked.

Tu Dayou heard that the movements of his hands froze, and an unnatural look flashed across his face.His skin is a little dark, not as fair as Ji Qingzhou's, but he can be regarded as handsome when he looks closely, but he is not as eye-catching as Ji Qingzhou.

"You saved my life at the palace banquet, did you forget?" Tu Dayou said.

"I'm talking about taking me back to the palace." Ji Qingzhou said: "It's not that Master picked me, you asked Master for it."

Tu Dayou avoided Ji Qingzhou's gaze when he heard the words, and seemed unwilling to answer this question.

"I don't want to force you to tell the truth, but now I have spent half my life with you, and I don't want to be suspicious of you." Ji Qingzhou said: "You know... people like me think too much .”

"I owe you a favor from the Ji family. I don't know who I should pay it back to, so just take it as giving me a chance." Tu Dayou's eyes were slightly flushed, and he sighed after a long time: "Besides, on the day of the palace banquet If you hadn't mentioned it, how would I have my life at this moment? Rather than saying that I helped you, it would be better to say that I helped myself."

Ji Qingzhou nodded when he heard the words, and didn't delve into it further.

It's just that for some reason, for just a short moment, he felt that Tu Dayou's eyes looking at him seemed a little dazed, but the eyes were fleeting, and he didn't have time to think deeply.

On the second day, I thought it was the day to go to the essay test.

But early in the morning, a servant came to inform him that the essay test had been changed in three days.

Although Ji Qingzhou was a little surprised, he was also relieved.

His old wounds had not healed and he had new wounds, and now he just took advantage of these few days to heal his wounds.

Someone in Tuda went to inquire about the whereabouts of Gaoliang, and after learning that Gaoliang was taken away by the people of the palace that night, he never came back.Although Ji Qingzhou felt that Gao Liang would not betray him so easily, he still felt uneasy.

For the next two days, Ji Qingzhou has been recuperating in the small courtyard.

Until the night before the essay test, Tu Dayou came back in a hurry with a panicked expression on his face.

"Something happened." Tu Da was breathless, and said in a low voice: "I don't know what's going on, but a rumor suddenly spread in the palace this evening, saying that someone saw it in Fengxian Pavilion on the night of the palace banquet. The waiter communicates privately with others!"

Ji Qingzhou was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"I was afraid of showing my feet, so I didn't dare to ask questions." Tu Dayou said, "I wanted to come back and tell you as soon as I heard it."

Ji Qingzhou walked back and forth in the house for a few steps, looking very anxious.

Seeing this, Tu Dayou hurriedly asked, "Think about it carefully, did anyone else notice that night?"

"I don't know." Ji Qingzhou said.

"You don't know?" Tu Da said anxiously: "If you said that you didn't know about such a big matter, I can still go to investigate one or two, and it will also avoid future troubles. Now that things have spread, I'm afraid... ..."

Ji Qingzhou was so upset that he forced himself to be more rational, and recalled the situation that night.

There was indeed no one in the Fengxian Pavilion at that time, and he looked around when he came out, but he didn't see anyone nearby.Even on the way back, he carefully avoided the patrolling guards. The only person who knew about it... Could it be that girl?

"What did you hear about the rumors?" Ji Qingzhou asked.

"On the night of the palace banquet, one of the servants had an affair with someone in Fengxian Pavilion, and the rest was just some unsavory and obscene words..." Tu Dayou said.

Now that Ji Qingzhou has regained his sanity a little, he is aware of a problem in this rumor.

"Is that one mentioned in the rumors?" Ji Qingzhou asked.

"Which one?" Tu Da realized after a moment, and hurriedly said: "No, I heard it from several different servants, and no one mentioned the prince...instead, what they guessed was...that he was related to the palace. bodyguard."

Hearing the words, Ji Qingzhou secretly thought, if the girl spread the word, she wouldn't just target him and avoid the regent.And Ji Qingzhou relied on her intuition, and always felt that the girl didn't seem like someone who would betray him.Not to mention anything else, just that the girl was so frightened that night, she didn't just run away by herself, and even stayed nearby to confirm his safety.

What's more, the girl is very ignorant, she doesn't know what happened between Ji Qingzhou and the Prince Regent at all, so how could she say something like "fornication"?

"Qingzhou, you should say something." Tu Da said anxiously.

"Don't ask about this matter, and don't investigate it." Ji Qingzhou said: "It's all as if you never knew."

Tu Da was taken aback, and asked, "What do you mean by that, what are you going to do?"

"I was careless. I thought that as long as I showed my attitude in front of the prince, I could get away with it, but I forgot..." Ji Qingzhou sighed and said: "But I forgot that there is a person behind this matter. If you take the medicine first, how can you not have a second hand?"

Tu Dayou's complexion suddenly changed when he heard the words, and he also realized the seriousness of the matter.

He swallowed nervously, and asked: "Then there is still room for change in this matter..."

Ji Qingzhou frowned and remained silent for a moment without answering.

It happened so suddenly that he was not prepared at all.

Now that I think about it, if the trajectory of the original book was followed, the regent discovered that Tu Da was poisoned at the palace banquet, and then dealt with dozens of palace people involved in it overnight, and there must be no chance to go to Fengxian Pavilion afterwards.

Ji Qingzhou reminded Tu Dayou to avoid the incident at the palace banquet, but it also brought about changes in Fengxian Pavilion.

In fact, there has always been a subtle connection between these two things, but Ji Qingzhou ignored it before.

"The person who ordered you to poison that day was related to the Qiu family?" Ji Qingzhou asked suddenly.

Tu Dayou was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Why do you ask that?"

Ji Qingzhou looked at Tu Dayou and said, "If I guess right, you can nod."

Tu Dayou took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Since the person instigating you is not from the Qiu family, it is very likely that they were the ones who did something in Fengxian Pavilion." Ji Qingzhou said.

"Why? Can you explain more clearly?" Tuda asked with a puzzled expression.

"Because the person behind you wants that person's life, and the person who is doing something in Fengxian Pavilion has other plans." Ji Qingzhou vaguely remembered that when the regent saw the girl that day, he asked, Said that the girl was Qiu Guojiu's youngest sister.

If the person who did the tricks was not from the Qiu family, how did the other party know that the girl was going to spy on the regent?

So Ji Qingzhou concluded that the person behind it was either the Qiu family, or someone who knew the girl well...

It's just that it's useless for him to think clearly. The matter has already spread. Even if the rumors don't involve the Prince Regent, the other party probably won't sit idly by.Regardless of the purpose of those who spread rumors behind their backs, it is obvious that this move has put Ji Qingzhou on the cusp.

Sure enough, rumors spread to the Regent's Palace that night.

When Dong Dong relayed the rumor to Li Zhan, Li Zhan had no emotion on his face, but Dong Dong couldn't help but feel a bit chill.

"Is there any name in the rumors?" Li Zhan asked.

"I never... only said that it was the servant and the person... that... did not mention the prince." Dong Dong said: "And the palace people are all guessing that the servant is with the guard..."

Li Zhan's eyes froze slightly, and he said, "Understood."

"My lord...do you want to go down and clean it up?" Dong Dong asked.

Li Zhan frowned slightly upon hearing this, but did not answer.
