Long Musi was just watching the prince's show, but when he saw Xu Tianze's gaze shift, he secretly thought something was wrong.
Sure enough, Xu Tianze still asked, but he didn't even look at it. These past few days he had been laughing at the prince and the queen making trouble in the palace, and today he was competing with the prince for an official position. How could he have the leisure to look at any list?
"Aze, are you feeling better?" There was really no way to answer, so Long Musi turned around and asked another question.
One was to divert Xu Tianze's attention, and the other was that he was indeed a little worried about Xu Tianze's health.
According to the ghost doctor, Xu Tianze should have just woken up today, so the wise king should have brought him directly to his house, but now he appeared here directly.
So Long Musi couldn't help but worry whether this person could hold on.
Xu Tianze did not answer Long Musi's question, but just rolled his eyes, as if he really thought he could not see through Long Musi's little thoughts.
He also understood that Long Muse definitely had not looked at the list of names on the list. As the saying goes, those in power are often confused. They are now dividing the official positions here and have not paid any attention to the list at all.
I'm afraid that the list has been tampered with by others a long time ago. I don't know how many talented students will fail the exam innocently.
Just as Xu Tianze was about to question Song Yu with his eyes, Song Yu spoke first:
"Dai Nian, go to the Minister of Rites' residence and bring back a copy of the list."
The imperial examination lists of previous years were made in triplicate: one copy was sent to the emperor, one copy was put into the archives, and one copy was posted.
So it would be okay for Song Yu to just ask Dai Nian to get one.
"No need, let's go directly to Lord Yun." Xu Tianze called Dai Nian back, stood up and pulled the eldest princess and the wise king out.
Seeing this, Song Yu felt relieved. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise when Xiaoze asked, he would be at a loss for words.
It is a good thing that Ozawa's attention has been diverted now, as he has avoided embarrassment.
The prince and Long Musi looked at each other, then looked at Song Yu thoughtfully, then turned around and left.
The group walked towards the residence of the Minister of Rites in a mighty procession. When they were near the door, before they could even go in, they saw the Minister of Rites hurriedly leaving the residence with things in his pockets.
"It seems that the person you chose is not that good." The eldest princess retracted her hand that was about to open the curtain, and then looked at him with a teasing look on her face.
At that time, the eldest princess felt that their decision on the candidate was a bit hasty, but they had done all the necessary inquiries and tests, and did not find any problems.
The eldest princess was naturally too embarrassed to say anything, but now seeing the look on the Minister of Rites's face, she felt a completely different situation.
But what made her even more curious was who the Minister of Rites was going to meet in this state. After all, the powerful leaders of the factions in the court were all here.
"When has Aunt ever made such a hasty decision?" Xu Tianze, looking like he had everything under control, became timid instead. "How about Ze'er and Aunt make a bet?"
"Oh?" The eldest princess looked at Xu Tianze with interest in her eyes.
"Zer guessed that the Minister of Rites would never betray us. He left the house just to look for us." Xu Tianze leaned against the virtuous king, a blush appearing on his pale face.
Although they made the plan in a hurry, he had heard of the Minister of Rites Yun Zheng a long time ago, and he had people conduct investigations from various sources at the beginning of the plan.
Long Musi, Song Yu, the virtuous king, the crown prince and the princess's men, each force was investigated once. This was enough to cover the entire Shangjing City's huge forces and investigate from multiple angles, but Yun Zheng still had no problems.
As for some minor flaws and quirks, they were not within Xu Tianze's consideration. They only knew that Xu Tianze wanted someone to investigate, but they didn't know how Xu Tianze investigated.
So Xu Tianze understood that the princess and others had doubts, but this did not prevent Xu Tianze from making a bet with the princess. After all, they were all family members, so it was no big deal.
"Tell me, what do you like about me?" When the princess saw Xu Tianze's expression, she knew that this little guy had his eyes on something about her.
If it weren't for this current incident, Ze'er would have asked her directly for it. Now that it's at this juncture, it's just a matter of going with the flow.
"You really can't hide anything from your aunt. Ze'er heard that you have two Turtle Breathing Pills, and Ze'er wants to ask for one." Xu Tianze felt a little embarrassed.
Since he returned to Shangjing City, he has caused a lot of trouble to the eldest princess and has been taken care of by the eldest princess in many places. Now he wants to ask the eldest princess for this precious Turtle Breath Pill.
Even though Xu Tianze is thick-skinned, he still feels a little embarrassed now.
The eldest princess's eyes moved back and forth between Xu Tianze and the virtuous king, and she did not immediately agree to give the Turtle Breathing Pill to Xu Tianze.
She had obtained this Turtle Breathing Pill with great difficulty. It was because when she was young, she married far away in the enemy country and the late emperor gave her one as a reward. Later, when she returned after making merit, she asked for another one.
Since then, she, the eldest princess, was the only one in the world who had this item. She even spread the news that she had used one when she was in the enemy country, and only had one left.
"Ze'er, this is the only one I have. How did you hear that I have two?" The eldest princess's gaze fixed, her expression sad, as if she was sad that Xu Tianze had misunderstood her.
Xu Tianze's expression froze when he heard this. He later learned from Qitian Pavilion that the eldest princess had the Turtle Breath Pill, but after all, information is only time-sensitive.
It was not surprising that the princess only had one left, but it made things difficult for him.
If the princess had two, he could ask for one thanks to her favor and love, but if there was only one, he would be hard-pressed to open his mouth.
After all, with the Turtle Breath Pill in hand, it can sometimes be used to make someone fake their death and escape, and it can be considered a life-saving item.
"It turns out that my aunt only has one left, and Ze'er Meng wasted it." Xu Tianze smiled apologetically at the eldest princess and did not mention the matter again.
He was not qualified, and he could not let the princess give up an opportunity to save her life, so he simply gave up the idea.
It was just a spur-of-the-moment thought. Since there's no way to get it, forget it.
He had already made relatively complete preparations for Ajiang. Even without the Turtle Breath Pill, it would be enough. It was just an extra layer of protection with the Turtle Breath Pill.
When the wise king saw Xu Tianze give up, although he didn't know what Xu Tianze was going to do, he still wanted to help Xu Tianze. However, just as he was about to speak, Xu Tianze pinched his palm.
When he turned around, the virtuous king met Xu Tianze's determined eyes. Xu Tianze shook his head at the virtuous king, signaling him not to say anything more.
The wise king had no choice but to give up and said nothing more.
The eldest princess noticed the little actions of the virtuous king and Xu Tianze. Although there was no expression on her face, there was a hint of smile in her eyes.
