Chapter 102 Suspicion
Seeing the way Xiao Fuguang was looking at her, Su Yan sneered at her.
Xiao Fuguang, you didn't expect that I, Gu Chuan, am still alive. This time, let's fight slowly. You have harmed my entire Gu family. I will make you watch the Xiao family fall completely, and in the end you will be unable to die even though you want to.
Xingyue noticed that Xiao Fuguang was not in the right condition, so she raised her hand and waved it in front of her.
“Miss, Miss…”
"Master Cousin is watching us!"
Xiao Fuguang came back to his senses and looked at Hua Ziye.
Hua Ziye raised his hand and bowed to Xiao Fuguang.
Xiao Fuguang calmed down, smiled and nodded.
Soon the team was getting farther and farther away, and Xiao Fuguang's eyes followed Su Yan.
There is something wrong with this person.
And when he looked at himself, he gave people the feeling that he wanted to cut himself into pieces.
"Xingyue, I also watched the excitement."
"Let's go to Yunkedu for dinner."
Prince Rong's Mansion.
Prince Rong, Duke Yao and several ministers sat together.
"I wonder why Your Highness asked us to gather together today?"
Duke Yao spoke first.
Prince Rong spoke with a smile.
"I think the adults now know who the champion is."
"However, today I still want to give you a proper introduction."
At this time, the guard He Feng walked in and bowed.
"Your Highness."
"Mr. Su is here."
Su Yan was seen walking towards him in a red robe, exuding high spirits.
"Your Highness."
Prince Rong introduced himself to everyone with a smile.
"Everyone, this is the newly crowned top martial arts scholar, and also the third place in literature, Young Master Su Yan. Young Master Su is incredibly talented and possesses exceptional martial arts skills. He is truly a rare talent for our Xuanyuan clan."
It is rare to be able to win high positions in both civil and military subjects in the imperial examinations.
Several people bowed politely.
"It turned out to be Su Zhuangyuan."
Duke Yao's gaze shifted from Prince Rong to Su Yan.
It seems that His Highness is going to pave the way for Su Yan.
Su Yan returned the gifts one by one with a decent smile on his face, but he was secretly thinking about his next plan in his heart.
He looked at Prince Rong, a barely perceptible cunning glint in his eyes.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness. Su Yan will do his best to serve Xuanyuan."
Prince Rong nodded with satisfaction and changed the subject.
"I've gathered all of you today not only to celebrate Young Master Su's high school admission, but also to discuss something. Mr. Su is incredibly talented and skilled in martial arts. It would be a waste of his talent if he were to start as a minor official of the seventh rank. The position of Junior Official in the Dali Temple is currently vacant, so why don't you put in a few good words for Mr. Su in front of the Emperor?"
The people who came were all ministers who supported Prince Rong, and their words were consistent with what they said at this time.
Duke Yao stroked his beard and smiled.
"Your Highness is absolutely right. Su Zhuangyuan is such a talent that he deserves to be entrusted with important tasks. The position of Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple is indeed suitable."
Several other ministers also nodded in agreement. They knew the deep meaning behind Prince Rong's move. It was undoubtedly to further consolidate his power in the court, and Su Yan became an important chess piece in his hands.
Su Yan was secretly proud in his heart, but he remained humble on the surface.
"Thank you all for your kindness. Su Yan is new here and still has many shortcomings. I need your guidance."
Prince Rong patted Su Yan's shoulder with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Su, there's no need to be so modest. I've seen your abilities. I believe that with you in the Dali Temple, all those cases of corruption will come to light."
Cloud guest ferry.
Xiao Fuguang was drinking tea slowly, and Su Yan's gaze could not be shaken off his mind.
But after searching through my memory, I found that I had never had any grudge against this person.
Hua Ziye walked in with a smile on his face and saw Xiao Fuguang in a daze.
"cousin."
Xiao Fuguang came back to his senses and looked at him.
"Zi Ye, why are you here?"
Hua Ziye sat down next to her.
"I guessed my cousin would come here, so I came."
"Cousin, I got the second place."
Xiao Fuguang spoke with a smile.
"I've already looked at the list, and my cousin is still the best."
"Congratulations."
Then he gave the order.
"Xingyue, go ask the kitchen to add more food."
"Just consider it a celebration for my cousin."
Seeing this, Hua Ziye spoke happily.
"My cousin is still the best to me."
Then he spoke bluntly.
"Xingyue, ask the kitchen to prepare Dongpo pork."
Then he spoke to Xiao Fuguang.
"Cousin, you don't know. I was so afraid of something unexpected happening these past two days that I didn't dare eat anything greasy or spicy. Now that the exam is finally over and the results are out, I can eat as much as I want."
As expected, he was still a bit childish. Xiao Fuguang smiled and shook his head slightly.
"If you like, you can come and eat here every day."
Hua Ziye spoke after hearing this.
"I can't come here every day. It would be bad if I attract other people's attention. But I can ask An Jin's chef to copy this dish."
Xiao Fuguang joked after hearing this.
"You know how to rob, but this dish was researched by Xingyue herself."
"Well, let Xingyue give you the recipe later."
Hua Ziye took a sip of tea.
"The Emperor will be summoning us in two days and will probably assign us positions. Does my cousin have any good suggestions for me?"
Xiao Fuguang pondered for a moment after hearing this.
"The Fifth Prince seems to be busy with the salt tax recently. However, this salt tax has been a major problem since ancient times. It seems that he has been busy for several months without any good results. If you have the opportunity, why not run some errands with him?"
Hua Ziye nodded when he heard this.
"Okay, I'll find an opportunity to get close to the Fifth Prince."
Xiao Fuguang raised his hand to refill their tea.
"There's one more thing my cousin wants to ask you for help."
Upon hearing this, Hua Ziye hurriedly spoke.
"Cousin, just say it directly. We are siblings, so there is no need to be polite."
Xiao Fuguang nodded slightly.
"You should support Su Yan and make friends with him, but you must keep our relationship a secret and never let it get exposed."
Hua Ziye showed a puzzled expression when he heard this.
"Cousin, what's wrong with this Su Yan?"
Xiao Fuguang's face showed a solemn expression when he heard this.
"I think he's not just problematic, he's a major problem. But I can't really put my finger on it right now. I just feel like this guy is most likely an enemy."
Seeing his cousin's serious expression, Hua Ziye also became cautious.
"I understand. Don't worry, cousin. I will be good friends with him."
After hearing this, Xiao Fuguang continued to give instructions.
"Many of the students who passed the exam this time have lived in Anjin. You should arrange a celebration for everyone, and then have the shopkeeper announce that Anjin will provide some conveniences for poor students coming to the Imperial City. I hope that those who have already landed will take care of Anjin's business."
Hua Ziye's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"This way, future candidates will have more or less interactions with An Jin, and those who pass the exam will appreciate An Jin's friendship after becoming officials, and will come to An Jin for dinner more often, giving me another chance to interact with everyone."
There was a hint of deep meaning in Xiao Fuguang's eyes.
"You can even get some information."
