Chapter 8 Cooking the Third Prince
"That won't help others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige!" Qiao Qihuai said.
When I got to Pu Qiongzhi, she said the same thing.
"When you can't dodge, face the battle head-on."
"Even if you lose, lose with dignity and don't let people laugh at you!"
Originally, this was something that Hanchen Academy did not do right.
If he loses, Hanchen Academy will lose face and bring disgrace upon himself. If he wins, it will not be glorious for Hanchen Academy either, as the victory will be unfair.
The difficulty of scientific examinations is often not only related to conditions and level, but also to mentality.
No one knew who came up with this trick, which was specifically designed to disturb the mood of the people in Wutong Academy.
For several days in a row, even Du Linkuan brought his bed and moved to the library to live.
The entire academy was united in its efforts to prepare for the imperial examination.
Pu Qiongzhi was worried about the safety of the library, and even directly dispatched Xinlong Wenghai to guard the library.
She did not forget that the Ninth Prince had murderous intentions towards Nangong Jiayu.
Pu Qiongzhi not only accepted the battle.
She even specially cooperated with gambling houses to set up a gambling ring.
It's her library anyway, and she can make some money there, there's nothing wrong with that.
All the powerful people in the imperial city were waiting to see the joke.
Even many families with students taking exams also participate in the betting.
…
Something happened in the court recently.
The Minister of the Secretariat was accused of sleeping drunk with a beautiful woman and accepting bribes by taking advantage of his connections.
This Secretary is the third prince's study companion.
When this happened, the third prince was naturally extremely anxious.
He went to the witch to ask for a solution.
"Don't panic, Your Highness." The witch, who had calculated everything, raised her eyelids.
The Secretary of the Central Secretariat is an important position, and he will not be easily touched in the short term.
What's more, he was just a little bit of a facilitator in this matter and was not a key figure.
"I have calculated that this time the Secretary-General can turn misfortune into fortune."
"Your Highness, all you need to do is remain constant in the face of ever-changing circumstances."
"That's wrong!" A man in black robe walked in from outside the door.
"You evil woman, how dare you play tricks on me again!"
"It's not good for the Secretary to behave like this. If this situation isn't resolved in time, there could be a bloody disaster!"
"Who is this? Yun Ying, why did you let this person in? This prince is talking to the Great God of Destiny!"
"Your Highness, this man is a divine messenger, who has come specially for you." Yun Ying is the third prince's confidant.
He just felt that His Highness had been deceived by this witch and actually obeyed her orders.
Unexpectedly, he met a man in black robe who said he could help him expose this person's plan.
"What are you doing?! The Great God of Destiny's predictions over the years have never failed. This prince trusts her."
"Your Highness, although what this person said is different from what the Great God of Destiny said, I heard that he is particularly talented in divination!"
He had already verified that this person's identity was simple and he was indeed a quack.
The key point is, after this person, His Highness will definitely not believe in these things anymore!
Therefore, Yun Ying’s plan was to get rid of the man in black robe afterwards to prevent future troubles.
His idea was beautiful, but unfortunately...
It was not so easy for him to crack Nangong Hua's series of tricks.
This man's name is Feng Anzhi, and he is from Nangong Hua.
It is said that this person really has some skills and can calculate celestial phenomena.
Ask him about the slightest sign of trouble, and he will observe it and make predictions in advance.
Nangong Xue treated him as a close friend and they had a very pleasant conversation.
This time, if it weren't for Nangong Xue's face, Nangong Hua would not have accepted this person so easily.
What Nangong Hua borrowed was his ability to observe celestial phenomena.
With this skill, and with the help of Yun Ying, he could easily get to the third prince.
Yun Jing was anxious to wake up the Third Prince, but the Third Prince simply believed these things...
Of course, these are not the most important things.
Nangong Hua was the first to find the third prince’s childhood friend.
Use the prostitutes in the brothel under the name of the Ninth Prince to extract information from him.
It's funny to say that the password of these people under the Ninth Prince is still the same as in the previous life.
Afterwards, he redeemed the woman and sent her away overnight.
The news was then sent to the Censorate.
The Imperial Censor quickly followed the clues to find out the matter and brought the ginseng up the next day.
Nangong Hua knew that anyone with a keen sense of smell would understand that this would not threaten the life of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat.
It's a pity that the Secretary of the Central Secretariat has been addicted to alcohol and sex for many years and his health is not very good.
He originally didn't have many days left to live, and he almost died in these few days.
That night, Nangong Hua specially asked someone to add a little bean powder to his food.
This is what happened in the palace from the previous life to the later life.
The son of the Minister of the Central Secretariat suffered from breathing difficulties after eating beans, and it nearly cost him his life...
At that time, the lady said that the deceased Secretary of the Central Secretariat had the same problem.
…
As expected.
Early the next morning, the Third Prince received news—
The Secretary of the Central Secretariat is dead!
"How is this possible! How could Zheng Lang just disappear like this..."
"Could it be Father? Or Big Brother? Or someone else?!!!"
The third prince’s eyes went dark, and then he propped himself up.
Zheng Jia is not only his study partner, but also a good brother who grew up with him.
The Third Prince was naturally extremely saddened by the sudden loss of such a person.
The anger in his heart could not be relieved for a while.
It was at this moment that Yun Ying took advantage of his tone to speak, "Your Highness!"
"You must not forget who caused you to be like this!"
"That witch is just a scheming villain, not a divine messenger at all! Otherwise, how could Lord Zheng be in trouble?"
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
The third prince looked at him, his sorrowful eyes filled with deep thought.
Yun Ying knew that he had listened to her.
Estrangement is the first step.
Without the witch as his think tank, the third prince will be walking on thin ice.
After this step is successful, it is only a matter of time to deal with the third prince!
Nangong Hua also arranged the follow-up matters.
As long as we pick a suitable opportunity and let the Third Prince make some extreme mistakes, he will naturally die.
…
The provincial examination came as scheduled.
Pu Qiongzhi watched these children walk into the Imperial Examination Hall one by one, with mixed feelings in her heart.
"You have to arrange soups and porridges for nutrition, and find famous teachers. It's really hard for you." Qiao Qihuai said when he saw her relieved.
Pu Qiongzhi shook her head. "Since we have to compete, I certainly can't lose! At least I have to be fully prepared."
"Besides, you haven't seen how hard those children work. I'm just doing what I can."
"Yeah. Do your best and leave the rest to fate. We have done everything we can, and the rest is up to fate." Nangong Yu sighed.
Luo Simo looked up at the gray sky, feeling a little worried.
Inside the Imperial Examination Hall.
Nangong Jiayu rubbed his swollen head.
Lately, he's been feeling groggy, maybe because he's been studying too hard or taking too many extra classes...
No matter what, now is the final critical moment!
He took heavy steps and walked in with full confidence.
The gentleman said that he had not had any hope for him at first, but he did not expect him to suddenly become so hardworking.
Humph! Of course! To take his feelings into consideration, his aunt invested all her money in their academy. He couldn't let his aunt lose money!
