"After writing the letter to the Grand Tutor, my father was exhausted and is now resting in the bedroom." Qi Yixuan put his hands behind his back and walked in front of the two of them.

"Thank you, Grand Master. You are so loud today, kneeling in front of the palace gate to plead for the students of the world. Have you ever thought about how your father and the court will lose face?"

"All that glitters is rotten inside. I'm sure Your Highness should understand this." After saying this, he bowed to the dragon throne in the main hall and said, "I eat the salary of the emperor and I worry about the emperor. I dare not fail to do my best for the emperor."

"You know very well that this period of time is the time when foreign nations come to pay tribute. It is just an imperial examination. It is okay to postpone it. But you insist on making a big deal out of it and let foreigners laugh at our Qianyuan country." Qi Yixuan said this with a righteous look on his face. People who didn't know him would really think he was loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

"The purpose of the imperial examination is to select talented people. All the rules were set by the ancestors of Qianyuan Kingdom." Xie Xiru said with anger, "How many students have studied hard for more than ten years or even decades to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor. But for the Third Prince, it has become a trivial matter. As a tutor, I feel very disappointed."

These words again blocked the other party. Qi Yixuan blamed Xie Xiru for disregarding the face of the court and making a big deal out of the matter, but Xie Xiru was neither humble nor arrogant. Instead, he did the opposite and emphasized to him the importance of the imperial examination.

If Qi Yixuan still wants to be emperor, the people he must not offend the most are the scholars in the world.

Just now he had spent a lot of effort to invite Cheng Jiao to come out and have him manipulate his father to write a letter personally. He originally wanted to trick Xie Xiru into the palace and take the opportunity to control him, but he didn't expect that Gu Lingze would make such a mistake.

Thinking of this, Qi Yixuan became furious and couldn't help but glare at Yu Tai who was standing next to him. If he was not his uncle, how could he assign him such an important task.

"Then according to Taifu Xie's opinion, what should be done with this imperial examination?" Qi Yixuan asked with his head slightly raised.

"The Emperor is ill, so the First Prince should preside over this palace examination. He is the eldest son, so he is naturally qualified."

Qi Yixuan sneered in his heart. He knew that the old man Xie Xiru would say this. He wanted to use the title of the eldest son to pressure him, but forget it.

"But the emperor has not issued an edict. Even if my brother is the eldest son, it is not legitimate."

In the final analysis, Qi Yixuan was just using the emperor to control the princes. As long as he used the emperor as a shield, who would dare to make decisions on their own?

"Qi Yixuan, do you dare to let me meet the emperor in person?" Gu Lingze was too lazy to deal with him anymore. They were just fighting each other, and they both knew it was clear.

"How dare you! How dare you call His Royal Highness the Prince by his name." Yu Gui immediately stepped forward and drew out his knife, with the tip of the knife pointing at him.

Gu Lingze overlapped his index finger and middle finger and flicked the blade together. With a 'ping' sound, the blade broke. Yu Tai's face changed drastically in shock.

"Hiss, hiss..." The blade that fell on the ground turned into a poisonous snake with a black background and yellow stripes. It was staring at Yu Tai and spitting out its tongue.

"Monster, monster!" Yu Tai screamed and stumbled towards the door.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Gu Lingze waved his sleeves, and all the doors and windows of the main hall were closed in an instant. A piece of talisman paper fell lightly in the middle of the main door. Now there were only three of them left in the entire hall.

Gu Lingze is not afraid of dogs, but it is quite annoying to hear a dog barking nearby all the time. However, he can scare the dog so much that it rolls on the ground with just a trick. It is really ridiculous that such a person can be the commander of the imperial guards.

"Qi Yixuan, there is still an unsettled account between us." Gu Lingze said as he stepped closer, and Qi Yixuan was forced to retreat repeatedly.

"Did you tamper with Xu Mingyan's test paper in the imperial examination?" Gu Lingze was filled with anger when he thought of this. Qi Yixuan was such a shameless villain. He couldn't do anything to him so he took advantage of the people around him. He was really insidious.

"What Xu Mingyan? I have never heard of him." Qi Yixuan had already turned behind the dragon throne.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Prince is really forgetful." Gu Lingze made a gesture with his right hand and raised his left hand. The dragon throne suddenly flew into the air and hung right above Qi Yixuan's head.

Qi Yixuan dodged left and right in a hurry, but no matter how he dodged, the dragon throne was still hanging above him. He fell backwards and sat on the ground, and hurriedly shouted to the outside: "Go and ask Master Cheng to come!"

"Don't bother, they can't hear you." Gu Lingze said expressionlessly.

"If you dare to hurt me in the slightest, I will make the entire Gu family pay for it!" Qi Yixuan started threatening as soon as he opened his mouth.

Gu Lingze's eyes turned cold, and then he raised the corners of his lips: "Hurt you?" Then he shook his head, "Your Highness misunderstood, I want to--"

"Kill you."

Qi Yixuan's pupils suddenly shrank due to the murderous aura that hit him, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably, "Grandmaster, Grandmaster, save me!"

Now only Xie Xiru can stop this madman Gu Lingze. Just for Xu Mingyan, Gu Lingze wants to kill him. He is simply crazy!

"Lingze, it's okay to joke with His Highness, but just put down the throne." Xie Xiru said lightly. This was not to save Qi Yixuan, but just because he didn't want Gu Lingze to get into trouble.

The dragon throne fell heavily to the ground, only half an inch away from Qi Yixuan's head. If Gu Lingze's hand had deviated a little, it would have hit him directly on the head.

Qi Yixuan lay on the ground gasping for breath. Gu Lingze looked down at him as if he was looking at a dying ant.

"They are all a bunch of lunatics." Qi Yixuan cursed in his heart. Cheng Jiao wore a mask and was mysteriously dealing with poisons and evil arts all day long. Now Gu Lingze showed up and wanted to kill people at the first sign of disagreement.

The wealth of the royal family, the royal power and the nobles, seemed to be worthless in their eyes. In fact, Qi Yixuan had completely misunderstood the situation. Let's not measure how powerful Cheng Jiao was. There was probably only one heavenly master like Gu Lingze in the world.

Others met fake Li Kui, but the two he met were both real-life Li Kui. I don’t know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate.

Gu Lingze squatted down, holding a silver needle between his fingers and waving it in front of his eyes, "I can not kill people, but I can also make people's lives worse than death. Your Highness, do you want to try it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of roars coming from outside the door. Qi Yixuan's eyes lit up, and then he felt a pain on the side of his neck, and he actually lost his voice.

With a bang, the door collapsed. Cheng Jiao and a woman in palace dress walked in front, followed by a large group of guards.

"Xie Xiru, you are so brave!" Concubine Yu's expression was very ferocious at this moment, completely different from her usual graceful and elegant appearance.
