Once magnificent, now brilliant

Qi Xiang's injury is now alright, but if Shi Zhou goes to Fengbei General's Mansion to give acupuncture the next day, it will not be a problem, but Bai Junyu has no intention of leaving, he pours soup and water for Qi Xiang every day, and guards Qi Xiang at night Go to bed first, then fall asleep by yourself.There is nothing to do during the day, the two of them are either reading books and practicing calligraphy, or playing chess and drawing, and the days are not boring.

Bai Junyu didn't leave, and Qi Xiang didn't want to chase him away either.These days he seems to have a treasure in his heart, joyful, happy, feeling that the sky is bluer than before, but he can't say it, he can only enjoy the closeness by himself, and he starts to be more and more greedy, always feels that it is not enough, and dare not get closer step.

Falling in love with someone is probably like this. There are too many reasons that cannot be uttered, hidden in the heart and sometimes happy, sometimes sad. The emotions are obviously your own, but you are more likely to be driven by the other person's every move.Occasionally annoyed, but can't let go.Mingming kept telling himself that there was no result, but he couldn't help but want to grasp the joy of love.It's torture, it's flustered, but it's all sugar-coated, so he knows it will be bitter, but he still can't help but swallow the sweetness at the beginning.

This kind of getting along is true for Qi Xiang, and it is also true for Bai Junyu.The difference is that he has little expression and is used to restraint, so it is even more difficult to see something from his face.Another point is that what Qi Xiang thinks is that he will leave sooner or later, but what Bai Junyu thinks is that sooner or later he will keep Qi Xiang by his side for the rest of his life, so he doesn't feel bitter, only sweet and sweeter.

Mrs. Bai sent people stewed soup almost every day. At first, it was relatively bland, but after Qi Xiang’s wound healed well, she began to send people some nourishing soups, such as fish maw and ganoderma lucidum stewed chicken soup, cordyceps pork ribs soup, Shenling Baizhu Laoya Soup and so on, Fat Qi Xiang was not fed, but Qi Xiang's complexion was indeed much better than before.

After drinking today's soup, Qi Xiang was too lazy to move, so he leaned on the couch and fiddled with the gadgets Bai Junyu bought for him.Bai Junyu has been walking more and more smoothly recently, but it is still relatively slow, but Shi Zhou said that it will take a while to practice, so there is no need to worry.

Steward Pan went out to buy vegetables, and brought back news that the emperor had sent someone to inquire because the suspected fraud of the eldest prince in Beijing had intensified.The eldest prince then took the paper and denied that he had anything to do with this matter.But Chai Huchang still didn't give anything useful, and the Ministry of Punishment has already used torture, but for some reason, it's just a small fight, and it's normal if you can't ask anything.

Bai Junyu went back home and brought some autumn clothes over, as if he was going to settle down here.Fortunately, the second prince has not lifted the restraint, otherwise if he saw this, he would still be fooled by Qi Xiang?

Bai Junyu put his clothes into Qi Xiang's suitcase with ease. Qi Xiang's suitcase was not small, but there were not many clothes.Qi Xiang didn't say anything, and didn't want to say anything.

"Uncle Pan brought back some news." Qi Xiang told Bai Junyu the rumor.

It was also because Qi Xiang was safe that Steward Pan was in the mood to go out to buy groceries in person, and then chat with the neighbors.

"I also heard a few words from my mother when I got home." After closing the lid of the suitcase, Bai Junyu sat on the chair beside the couch.Usually at home, he doesn't need to do things like find clothes and put them away. Bai Ru and the servants will do a good job, but here, even if Bai Ru is here, he doesn't want to let Bai Ru do it—there are still things inside. There is Qi Xiang's underwear, such a personal thing, he doesn't want others to see it.

Qi Xiang asked directly: "What do you think?"

Bai Junyu looked at Qi Xiang's slender fingers playing with the wooden gadget, and found it cute.Recently, he was staring at applying hand cream to Qi Xiang, and Qi Xiang's hands were already moistened a lot, "The reaction of the eldest prince is expected, it just depends on what he will do in the future. If the head of the household doesn't say anything, there must be something he won't say." The reason is mostly because there are too many involved behind it, if you tell it all, you will suffer disaster yourself, but I am afraid that if you don’t pull others off the horse, your family will suffer disaster along with it.”

All officials who are in the midst of entanglement have a delusion-someone in their own party will be willing to help them in a critical moment.

But the reality is that the more followers there are, the less people are willing to come forward in order to protect themselves.Anyone who has a problem will be kicked out directly, and the Tian family will use the hands of the Tian family to cut the grass and root out the root. The surface is complete and the inside is safe.What's even more tragic is that people who are in the midst of interests, when someone else has an accident, they only know to stand by and watch, but they never thought that this gangster is unreliable at all,

Was also one of the unreliable.I didn't realize it until something happened to me, it was already too late.

"Do me a favor?" Qi Xiang tilted her head to look at him with an innocent expression.

Bai Junyu had no reason to refuse, and said, "Just say it."

"Pass me a note and say that I want to thank you personally."

Bai Junyu frowned, "Your injury hasn't fully healed yet, why bother? Besides, didn't the emperor spare you to thank you?"

"I can't see how my wound is healing, can't you see it? The emperor spared Xie En, but it's my intention to go to thank you." He was injured on his back, and he didn't know what the wound looked like now , the bronze mirror can't see clearly, so it's not as clear as Bai Junyu's.

Bai Junyu took the gadget in his hand, his face still serious, "Tell the truth."

Qi Xiang chuckled, "It's not a solution if the matter is so stalemate. If the emperor is willing to see me, I will have the opportunity to push the matter forward. I am afraid that the emperor is also worried now. As for whether I can push it or not, it depends on the situation." How troubled is the emperor?"

"How do you know that your advance will not annoy the emperor?" At that time, if you fail to come up with an idea, you will be accused of being a commoner for arbitrarily discussing government affairs. The gain outweighs the gain.

Qi Xiang had thought about it a long time ago, "Among the many princes, although the emperor uses the third prince the most, the one who loves the most and loves him the most is the eldest prince. The emperor has a deep relationship with the empress Yuan. The eldest prince can read at the age of two. He was able to recite countless poems at the age of three, and he was praised by everyone when he was enlightened at the age of four. He is the most proud prince of the emperor. However, the eldest prince is not in good health and is not suitable to inherit the great line. It is precisely because of this that the emperor treats the eldest prince more like a father and son In order to prevent other princes from seeking the throne, the emperor is the emperor and ministers first, and then the father and son. Now that this matter involves the eldest prince, the emperor, as the father, naturally wants to remove the suspicion for his son. I have no intention of framing anyone, just depends on the situation Give the emperor an idea, and the emperor will naturally not be angry."

Bai Junyu sighed, "I know you are smart, but sometimes I really don't know where you are so bold." If there is something wrong with this kind of thing, it is not a trivial matter.

Qi Xiang smiled and said, "I'm not brave, but I've figured out all the problems, so naturally I'm not afraid."

Qi Xiang wanted to use Xie En to meet the emperor, his injury was caused by the negligence of the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor gave him a lot of medicine, so it was only natural to thank him.It's just that he is not an official of the court, so he can only ask Bai Junyu to pass the paperwork for him.It was very difficult for Bai Junyu to say "no" to Qi Xiang's request, so he could only do what he wanted.As for whether the emperor grants permission to summon them, it is not up to them to decide.

Bai Junyu originally thought that the emperor would probably refuse, but it turned out that three days later, the emperor sent someone to summon Qi Xiang into the palace to thank him.

After Qi Xiang changed his clothes and tidied up, Bai Junyu personally sent him to the gate of the palace.

"You go back first, I don't know when I can come out." Ask Bai Ru to take Bai Junyu back first, and then ask the driver to come back and wait for him.

Bai Junyu helped him tidy up his sleeves, and said, "Go in, think twice before speaking, this is not at home."

Qi Xiang laughed, "Can I not know?"

Without much delay, Qi Xiang followed the eunuch into the palace gate and headed all the way to the imperial study.

After the big ceremony, the emperor called out.

Qi Xiang bowed and lowered his eyes and said: "The emperor gave me the medicine, the people are very grateful, thank you for your kindness."

The emperor has been worried about the fraud for the past few days, exhaustion can be seen in his brows and eyes, "It was an omission in the etiquette department that caused you to be injured innocently. I have already punished them, and now that you are safe, I am relieved."

"With the medicine given by the emperor, Caomin's injury healed so quickly. This was an accident, Caomin was just a little unlucky." He didn't use the medicine given by the emperor, it was all prepared by his master.

The emperor said: "I heard that you were injured to save Junyu?"

The meaning of the emperor's question was not clear, Qi Xiang thought about it and said: "The tiger was originally going towards the Taifu, but after the Caomin pulled the Taifu away, it pounced on General Bai. General Bai is still in a wheelchair, so he really can't avoid it." Fuck, Caomin didn't think too much about it, so he blocked it for him. General Bai is the pillar of the country, if he gets hurt again because of this incident, I'm afraid it will be worse. Caomin is a commoner, so it doesn't matter if he gets hurt a little bit. Fortunately, there are Jianghu Xia Doctors help, the tiger no longer

Hurt. "

"You can step forward regardless of danger, and you are also a loving and righteous child."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Qi Xiang quietly looked up at the Emperor for a moment while he was drinking tea, then bowed his head and said respectfully: "When the Caomin entered the palace, they saw that the Emperor looked tired. It must be because he was exhausted from the state affairs. The Emperor must take care of the dragon. Body, your health is the foundation of the country."

These words made the emperor feel much better, and thinking that Qi Xiang gave a good idea before, he is worried and disturbed now, why not ask Qi Xiang again, and said: "Did you hear about the fraud in the imperial examination the year before last? "

"Back to the emperor, Caomin has never gone out during his illness, but the old housekeeper who took care of Caomin at home heard a few words when he went out to buy vegetables, and came back to give a general idea, Caomin didn't know the specifics."

The emperor nodded and told Qi Xiang about the matter.

It was no different from what Qi Xiang heard.

"Is there any way you can find out this matter as soon as possible?" the emperor asked.Even if you go to the doctor in a hurry, you have to solicit opinions, maybe you will have a new idea.

Qi Xiang pretended to think for a while, and then said: "The grassroots don't know much about court affairs, there is only one stupid way, and whether it can be used or not is up to the emperor to decide."

"Oh? Let's hear it." It's better to have a way than nothing.

"The purpose of cheating is to win the election. Since you can't find any more useful clues from the cheating officials, you might as well check it out from the selected ones." Qi Xiang spoke slowly, in order to let the emperor understand, "It is impossible for all the cheaters to find out. Enter the palace examination, but since you have spent money to buy the examination questions or answers, you will definitely be admitted to the palace examination. The emperor only needs to take out the list of candidates at that time, pick out people with good family backgrounds and enough connections, and start from their homes Just check. Their family members are no more slick-minded than those in the imperial court, if they are not fundamentally honest, they will be flustered if they have ghosts in their hearts. As long as you ask someone who understands interrogation skills, if you have any questions, you will be able to catch the loophole."

"I can understand picking someone with a good family background, why choose someone with a wide network?" the emperor asked.

Qi Xiang explained: "No matter how courageous people are about fraud, they will be extra cautious. Money is not the only criterion. Familiarity is the basis for safety. And only if you have a wide enough network, can you have a relationship with Zuo Shilang, the Ministry of Rites. Such officials are brought on the line. In addition, why do officials help others to cheat? Is it just for money? The money is not worth mentioning compared to the risks to be taken. Support each other, rely on each other, expand the root system to an unimaginable size, and make it more difficult to shake the status of this party. In this way, no matter what happens in the future, the superiors will have to think twice, fearing that it will lead to trouble. Move your whole body."

The emperor only felt that cold sweat was coming out of his back. If it was true what Qi Xiang said, and those people had been doing this for several years, he would eventually become an emperor who was always under check and balance. He did not dare to punish the officials. The officials let him He dared not object to whoever was established as the crown prince.

As the emperor, he couldn't lose his composure in front of Qi Xiang, and still said calmly: "Your analysis is very reasonable, I will seriously consider it, you can step down."

"Yes, the grassroots leave."

As soon as Qi Xiang came out of the imperial study, the emperor immediately asked Eunuch Li to arrange manpower to conduct a secret investigation immediately as Qi Xiang said, so as not to scare the snake away.

When Qi Xiang walked out of the palace gate, he saw Bai Junyu waiting there.

"you……"

Qi Xiang wanted to ask him why he didn't go back, but before he could ask, Bai Junyu put on a cloak, "It's windy, get in the car."

Qi Xiang didn't move, and looked at him calmly with his naturally warm eyes, "Didn't I tell you to go back first?"

Bai Junyu took his hand and walked towards the carriage, "I don't feel at ease when I go back, so I might as well wait here for you."

Qi Xiang sighed lightly, maybe it was because he was more heart-warming, but because he felt that Bai Junyu was more stupid.

"Let someone prepare the pot at night, it will be warmer to eat." Qi Xiang followed him into the carriage, it was indeed cold with the autumn wind.

Bai Junyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll drop by in a while to buy you some rose cakes. It will take some time to prepare the pot, so you can fill some up first."

And in the evening when they ate the hot pot, the eldest prince sent a new book—he had already found out that it was the same as Chai.

The third prince's uncle went to Huaifeng with the household head, and the uncle's personal servant followed the household head Chai to collect money.
