"Damn it!" Han Lingfu gritted his teeth.
He never expected that such an accident would happen. This Huang Hetai was not just a fool, but a top talent!
His astonishing talent was witnessed by the people of the capital on the day he paraded through the streets, and because of this, he completely suppressed the rumors of fraud that had spread like a raging fire before. Qin will be released.
I have expended so much effort to set up such a game, but I lost a game, and my success is on the verge of failure!
He is really not reconciled!
There was another "boom", this time, it was Han Lingfu's fist that slammed on the desk, and the severe pain hit...
After a while, Han Lingfu took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger and unwillingness in his heart, and began to calm down.
Up to now, no matter how upset you are, it won't help. You have to think about whether there is any remedy.
Should I sacrifice some people and expose the "problem selling" thing
Once the person selling the question "recruited" Nangong Qin out, then Nangong Qin, as the "mastermind behind the scenes", would naturally be unable to argue with it, and he was convicted of selling the question!
But…
Han Lingfu shook his bruised fist, hesitating a little.
At the beginning, when rumors of cheating broke out in the capital, he saw that those students were making a fuss, so he didn't need him to add more fuel, so he simply let the situation develop by itself, adding fuel to the flames from time to time. Because he knew in his heart that the more he did, the more traces he would leave behind. A bad person would not only have to sacrifice himself, but would also run the risk of being traced to him.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, he is really unwilling to take this risky move!
Or, he went to the second brother to discuss it
Han Lingfu frowned and thought, obviously he could have wiped out the Nangong family without bloodshed, but now he wants to kill a thousand enemies and hurt himself eight hundred, which is really unwilling!
The more Han Lingfu thought about it, the more irritable and irritable he became, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated two beats.
bang bang!
He rubbed his chest uncomfortably, feeling dry mouth and tongue, so he reached for the teacup, but when he raised his hand, he found that his hand was trembling uncontrollably, like branches and leaves trembling in the wind and rain.
His complexion was extremely ugly, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he tried to stabilize his hands, holding the teacup with both hands...
The tea in the teacup was slightly rippling with his trembling hands, and the circle of ripples made Han Lingfu's heart flustered, so he picked up the teacup and put it back on the desk.
Han Lingfu's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip, and he swung his arms across, wanting to sweep away everything on the case... But at this moment, Xiao Lizi suddenly entered the room, and said subtly, "My lord, Bai Ke The imperial concubine has brought 'soup'."
At this time, the last person Han Lingfu wanted to see was Bai Muxiao. His thin lips moved slightly, wanting Xiao Lizi to drive her away, but when he thought of "tang", he still didn't say the words...
In the next moment, there was a sound of raising the curtain, and a graceful figure appeared in his field of vision. Bai Muxiao came slowly and gracefully, holding a food box.
She was wearing a moon-white dress with dark patterns, and a white jade hairpin was tied around her loose hair. Although the dress was simple, it was hard to hide the beauty and gracefulness between her brows, with a clear and elegant charm, just like a green lotus.
Just looking at her, Han Lingfu felt bored in his heart for a while, he was wrong, there is nothing in this world that is not stained in the mud, crawling out of the dirty mud, can never wash off the filth on the body, just like—
she!
Bai Muxiao couldn't see the disgust in Han Lingfu's eyes, but now she didn't care what he thought, and said with a smile, "My lord, it's time to drink the 'soup'."
Han Lingfu stared at the food box in Bai Muxiao's hand, clenched his fists unconsciously.
Wuhe Ointment, of course he doesn't want to take it anymore, but...
His whole body felt agitated again, his heart was beating impetuously, and a burst of sweat began to break out on his forehead...
Seeing his hesitant expression, Bai Muxiao smiled sarcastically, and thought: He is still like this, always so indecisive, it's no wonder why he hasn't been able to achieve great things, anyway, she just came to help him.
Bai Muxiao walked lightly to the desk, opened the food box, took out a Gu soup from it, and brought it to Han Lingfu, saying in a seductive voice, "My lord, you have worked hard, drink some hot soup to refresh yourself."
As she said that, she also helped him open the lid of the soup gu, and the steaming scent penetrated into Han Lingfu's nose. His original hesitation disappeared at this moment, and his eyes stared at him like a demon. He ate the bowl of soup, then picked up the spoon on the side, and almost couldn't wait to drink it... At this moment, he was so hungry that he had long forgotten Bai Muxiao standing beside him.
Bai Muxiao looked at him coldly, watching him surrender to the magic power of Wuhe Paste like a dog, watching him show a ecstatic expression, watching him gradually lose himself...
She smiled, with a mocking arc on the corner of her mouth, feeling extremely happy in her heart.
Han Lingfu, you have today too!
"My lord," she asked seemingly casually, "how's the result of the palace examination?" Of course, Bai Muxiao didn't come here to deliver soup to Han Lingfu, she came here specifically to inquire about the results of the palace examination.
Bai Muxiao was in the inner house and knew little about what happened outside. After the announcement of the results yesterday, Han Lingfu did not go to her yard, so when he heard that he had returned today, he came here impatiently.
Hearing this, Han Lingfu's hand holding the spoon stopped, and his whole body shook, as if he had suddenly woken up from a dream, his complexion darkened.
As soon as Bai Muxiao entered the study, she saw that Han Lingfu's complexion was not good. In fact, she had already vaguely guessed it in her heart, and it was only now that she confirmed it. Sure enough, things went wrong!
She snorted coldly with disdain, and reprimanded mercilessly: "You are really useless, you can't do such a small thing well!"
How dare this bitch humiliate himself like this! Han Lingfu's pupils shrank sharply, and his heart was full of hatred. He really wanted to slap him in the face, but he had to bear it.
"You..." Don't deceive others too much!
At this moment, a little maid came in timidly from outside and said: "My lord, side concubine Bai, the third son-in-law is here." The third son-in-law that the maid said was naturally referring to the Baiyue prince Kui Lang.
A look of joy flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes, and he said coldly, "Bai Fangfei, I have guests here, you can go back."
But Bai Muxiao didn't move, she looked at him with a smile, the smile in her eyes was so strong that it was about to overflow, she whispered: "So the prince has invited His Highness Kui Lang." She laughed mockingly and looked at him. With a look of contempt, "My lord, have you never thought about why there is Wuhe ointment on my hand?"
Could it be... The blood on Han Lingfu's face faded in an instant. He had naturally thought about it, but he didn't dare to think about it. In his heart, he would rather Bai Muxiao use other means to obtain Wuhe ointment...
But now hearing what Bai Muxiao said, he couldn't help feeling cold all over his body.
It turned out that the Wuhe ointment in Bai Muxiao's hand came from Kui Lang!
"Bai Muxiao, you bitch, how dare you betray me and collude with Kui Lang!" Han Lingfu said angrily.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt palpitations. Bai Muxiao was usually in the inner house, but she was just a side concubine. She was stared at by pairs of eyes in the palace. She was not allowed to enter or leave the palace easily, and she was not allowed to send news outside the palace...
How did she collude with Kui Lang? !
The answer is obvious.
There must be someone secretly matchmaking.
As for the middleman, don't even think about it, he must be putting on clothes!
None of the three women in his backyard were kind—
Bai Muxiao and Bai Yi colluded with each other and secretly drugged him. The dead Cui Yanyan secretly drugged Bai Muxiao before his death, causing his child to turn into a monster...
This incident flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, and he suddenly understood.
He had calculated thousands of times, guarding east and west, thinking ahead and backward, but he didn't expect that the three women in his backyard had their own ghosts and betrayed him one by one!
Han Lingfu's heart sank little by little, as if he had fallen into an abyss. Over the years, he had encountered many setbacks, but he always felt that "Heaven will send a great task to the people, and we must first work hard and work hard." , so he persevered again and again, believing that these were just some small setbacks on his way to the supreme position, and it was all worth it.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but doubt himself...
He thought that Bai Muxiao, who loved him deeply, hated him because of love, and wished that he would die!
He thought that the kind and magnanimous concubine Cui Yanyan was jealous and vicious, even an unborn child would not be spared!
The clothes he cites as a confidante, but secretly harboring ulterior motives, play tricks on him every occasion, hypocrisy...
Thinking of this, Han Lingfu clenched his fists. There is an old saying: "The most poisonous woman's heart", women are really untrustworthy, once they can't get what they want from themselves, they will turn their faces and be ruthless one by one!
Just as anger was surging in Han Lingfu's heart, a man in an indigo brocade robe strode into the study under the guidance of a little maid, and then sat down casually opposite Han Lingfu.
It was Kui Lang, the prince of the Hundred Years!
Bai Muxiao waved her hand, and all the servants in the study retreated, leaving only the three of them.
There was a moment of silence in the room, deathly silence, murderous intent lurking in the air.
Han Lingfu stared at Kui Lang in front of him. If eyes could kill, Kui Lang would have been hacked to pieces.
I have known for a long time that Kui Lang is a fierce tiger who is unwilling to be trapped in a cage, and I know that I must guard against Kui Lang, but I never thought that the other party would find a gap in my back house...
"Kui Lang," Han Lingfu gritted his teeth and asked Kui Lang angrily, "This king is already an ally with you, why do you still do this?!"
Why secretly poison him? !
Compared to Han Lingfu's excitement, Kui Lang was at ease, smiling and comforting Han Lingfu: "Don't worry, third uncle, I only want Baiyue. As for Dayu, it is still yours, third uncle, and we each take what we need!"
"Everyone gets what they need?!" Han Lingfu laughed mockingly, "What about Wuhe Gao?!"
The smile in Kui Lang's eyes grew stronger, and he said, "Third Uncle must have misunderstood Wuhe Ointment, doesn't San Uncle feel comfortable all over recently?"
Han Lingfu looked even colder, disapproving.
Kui Lang sneered, and said again: "Brother Third Uncle, I also have good intentions. I just thought that after Third Uncle ascended to the Great Treasure in the future, if the government affairs are busy, I can also help out a little at that time."
The other party wanted to... Han Lingfu's eyes widened, and he immediately understood Kui Lang's intentions. His whole body seemed to be soaked in a bucket of ice water, freezing to the bone.
Kui Lang wanted to make himself his puppet and manipulate Dayu.
That's right, with Baiyue's strength, if he wants to take down Dayu, it's nothing but idiotic nonsense. First of all, Kui Lang can't pass the test of King Zhennan and his son, but if he becomes a great treasure, it will be different. Once he becomes If he becomes the righteous Emperor Dayu, then Kui Lang can use his own hands to do whatever he wants with Dayu...
Before he knew it, Han Lingfu's back was soaked with sweat.
Looking at Han Lingfu's uncertain face, Kui Lang's eyes flashed coldness. He took out a small porcelain pot from his sleeve, and opened it in front of Han Lingfu and Bai Muxiao, revealing the brown inside. Paste, the familiar fragrance wafts from it...
Han Lingfu stared hungrily at the jar of Wuhe Ointment, like a lost traveler in the desert finally seeing a green oasis, like nectar falling from the long-drought land.
Kui Lang was not in a hurry, he just sat where he was, with a big smile on his chest.
After a while, Han Lingfu raised his hand tremblingly, and slowly... with difficulty, he stretched out his hand. From the beginning to the end, his hand trembled unceasingly, until the moment he held the porcelain jar.
He eagerly took the porcelain pot back with his hand, but his heart fell into a bottomless hell in an instant.
It was just a small gesture, but it represented his submission to Kui Lang.
From then on, he could no longer escape Kui Lang's control, and so did Dayu...
In the study, Kui Lang and Bai Muxiao exchanged a smug look, full of ambition, but Han Lingfu's heart was ashamed, and the whole person was suddenly stunned...
After half an hour, Kui Lang left, and only Han Lingfu and Bai Muxiao were left in the study. Han Lingfu finally couldn't suppress his doubts and unwillingness, and asked in a deep voice, "Why? Why would you rather help Kui Lang than Want to betray the king?"
Bai Muxiao smiled, with a trace of pity and complacency in his smile, and said slowly and meaningfully: "My lord, His Highness Kui Lang will return to Baiyue after all, and he always wants to stay in the capital alone to help the lord. Did the prince say yes or no?"
Not only Kui Lang wanted to go back to Baiyue, but Bai Muxiao was also the best candidate for Kui Lang to stay and monitor Han Lingfu!
this woman! Han Lingfu's chest tightened, and he almost couldn't catch his breath. Once again, he deeply realized that he had never known this woman before.
Her ambition has grown to this point, she clearly wants to be Dayu's empress, this woman... how dare she have such delusions? !
Is she crazy? !
"Snapped-"
A crisp slap echoed in the study room, it was extremely loud, a bright red slap mark appeared on Bai Muxiao's fair face, even her hair was messed up by this slap.
But Bai Muxiao smiled instead of anger, showing a condescending arrogance, seeing Han Lingfu raise his right hand again, and wanted to throw it down...
"My lord, you have to think about it!" Bai Muxiao intentionally brought the other side of her face closer, "I don't know if the can of Wuhe ointment in your hand is enough for you for a few days... two days? Three days?"
Han Lingfu's face sank like water, and he said coldly, "Bai Muxiao, do you think that Kui Lang will turn against this king for you?"
However, Bai Muxiao smiled, tilted her head and said, "My lord, you can try it. I am a tile, and you are porcelain. Porcelain does not compete with tiles. You have been planning for so long, and you are willing to give up your grand plan. Abandon this ten thousand li country?"
Han Lingfu's hand froze in mid-air for a moment, and finally let it go...
The next moment, another "pop" sounded in the study.
This time Han Lingfu had a slap mark on his face, Junyi's face was knocked to one side, and disbelief was written in his eyes.
Bai Muxiao said, "This is for you."
"You... you bitch!" Han Lingfu said tremblingly, grasping and releasing his hand, releasing and grasping again.
If he dared to fight her, she would still give him a high look. It's a pity, this man cherishes his life and loves power. Bai Muxiao sneered, and reminded in a tone almost commanding: "My lord should think carefully about how to end the fraud. If my lord doesn't take any action, Nangong Qin will definitely be released by the emperor. Then, my lord's success will fall by the wayside." Already!"
After finishing speaking, she ignored Han Lingfu and walked away, leaving only Han Lingfu staring at her slender back in a daze, his whole body tensed like a leopard staring at its prey.
Be it Bai Muxiao or Nangong Mansion...
I'm sorry for Han Lingfu's people, he won't let go of any of them!
Han Lingfu secretly swears to the sky in his heart. At this moment, there is no cloud in the sky outside, and the scorching sun is shining brightly. It seems to be a little hotter than the previous few days.
This is true in the royal capital, and it is even more so in Nanliang, which is thousands of miles away. It is so hot that an egg placed on the bluestone floor can almost be cooked.
However, those ordinary Nanliang people have long been accustomed to this hot weather, and they can do whatever they want under the sun.
In contrast, the conditions for escaping the summer heat in Nanliang Palace are naturally much better. There is a water pavilion built against the water, and there is also a cleaning hall with water curtains on three sides.
This cleaning hall really took a lot of thought, avoiding direct sunlight, and was built across the river. At the back of the hall, there is a waterwheel that continuously guides the river water to the eaves. The water flows down the eaves and forms streams of water on three sides. Curtains, hanging waves like waterfalls, naturally have a cooling effect.
clatter...
Amidst the continuous sound of falling into the water, the crowing of hawks rang out from time to time. The two hawks, one gray and one white, circled the water curtain curiously, looking at Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai who were drinking tea and talking inside.
clatter...
The sound of Xiao Yi pouring tea for Guan Yubai was completely swallowed by the sound of water falling around him. While pouring the tea, he said casually, "Xiao Bai, the imperial examination should be over."
Guan Yubai nodded, then picked up his teacup, and said with a smile: "With Huang and Tai Zhuyu in front, talking about cheating will naturally look extremely ridiculous."
Originally, Guan Yubai arranged for Huang Hetai to participate in this Enke, in order to install another person in the court, in case of emergency.
When suggesting that Nangong Qinshang Zhezizou please change the examination questions of Chun Wei, Guan Yubai expected two results, one is that the emperor agreed, then everything is easy to handle. Second, if the emperor disagreed, Nangong Qin's behavior would definitely annoy King Shunjun and King Gong, and even get rid of them quickly. Enke this time is the best time for them to get rid of Nangong's family.
Since then, Guan Yubai has been quietly making arrangements.
Sure enough, shortly after Chunwei, rumors of fraud broke out.
Guan Yubai, who was far away in Nanliang, couldn't confirm whether the two county kings had leaked the questions, and how many people had leaked the questions. It would take too much time to check and confirm.
So, he simply didn't care about these things, but after the fraud broke out, he ordered people to "help" the two county kings secretly to fuel the flames, and at the right time, asked Nangong Qin to suggest that the emperor hold a palace examination.
And after that, he made people direct all the public opinion on Huang Hetai, made people question his talent and learning, made people dissatisfied with his arrogance, and let everyone in the capital know his "deeds"... At the same time, let people behind the scenes The two county kings underestimated Huang Hetai.
At that time, no one will care about whether other people in Jinke have real talents or not. All eyes will be on Huang Hetai.
In this way, as long as Huang Hetai becomes a blockbuster in the imperial examination and dominates the crowd, then the fraud will naturally be suppressed.
Guan Yubai took a sip of tea, with a calm but confident smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "However, Ayi, I'm afraid I have to persecute Mr. Nangong for a while. I believe that after this incident, the two county kings will definitely not They will let it go, and then, they are afraid that they would rather sacrifice some people, and 'testify' that Mr. Nangong sold the test questions... "
"Defeating Chunwei, Chengye Chunwei!" Xiao Yi shook his head while playing with the small and interesting Nanliang teacup in his hand, "This matter is not over yet."
Guan Yubai looked past Xiao Yi, and looked at the water curtain that kept falling behind him. The water curtain shone with crystal luster in the sunlight, and the sound of falling water was intense, which was in stark contrast to the leisurely in the hall, rushing and slowing down. .
Accompanied by the sound of water, Guan Yubai said slowly, "Ayi, let's wait and see what happens."
