.....
Tu Yufan was resting in the room when Hua Jiqian suddenly broke in.
"Hua Yufan, you deserve to die. How dare you drug me! It's all your fault that Xishang Ruo refused to see me!"
Tu Yufan put down the book in his hand and said with a half-smile: "I thought my elder brother was going to complain to father, but I didn't expect him to keep it secret."
Hua Jiqian's cold eyes flashed, he originally wanted to push everything onto Tu Yufan, but his father would not believe him at all. Firstly, he needed to tell his father about the incident that framed Tu Yufan, and secondly, his father would not believe that Tu Yufan could knock out everyone silently without being discovered.
He also suspected that Tu Yufan had secret guards around him, but unfortunately his father hadn't found out, so it was likely that there were no secret guards.
But, is it possible for one person to knock out more than a dozen well-trained guards without being discovered?
Even my father might find it difficult to do this.
The final result of the thorough investigation was that both the people from the Marquis' Mansion and Princess Yuexue's people were injured in the fight.
"I didn't expect you to be so well hidden." Hua Jiqian narrowed his eyes and secretly grumbled, "Why did you drink that wine? Isn't it what you want to do with Princess Yuexue?"
Tu Yufan suddenly grabbed Hua Jiqian's neck and slammed him against the wall. His right wrist was pinched hard by Tu Yufan, and a sound of bone fracture was heard. Hua Jiqian groaned, and his face became distorted with pain.
"Brother, I won't mess with you and you don't mess with me, can we live in peace?" Tu Yufan sneered and applied a little more strength on his hands.
Hua Jiqian felt his breathing become blocked and tried to struggle to call the guards outside the door, but no sound came out.
Feeling death approaching, Hua Jiqian's eyes finally showed fear. He opened his mouth to ask for help, but Tu Yufan remained calm, with murderous intent in his eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard outside the door. Tu Yufan loosened his grip and Hua Jiqian sat up.
Tu Yufan quickly helped him up, the door just opened, and Marquis Huayang walked in.
"Yufan, is your elder brother here with you?"
Tu Yufan forced a smile: "Yes, brother seems to be in a bad mood."
Seeing Tu Yufan's embarrassed expression, Marquis Huayang snorted coldly: "You did such a shameful thing, and you took your anger out on your brother. What a waste!"
"Someone, take the prince away."
Hua Jiqian lowered his head and said nothing. Marquis Huayang thought he was still in decadence and sighed in regret for his lack of fighting spirit.
When Tu Yufan saw Marquis Huayang leave, he continued to pick up the books on the table.
It is said that the maid named Xiao Tan saw Hua Jiqian's flushed face and confused expression, and after thinking for a moment she knew what had happened.
Originally, Xue planned to let Hua Jiqian take Xiao Tan into his room after marriage, but Xi Shang was so bewitched by the prince that she drove out all the maids who were slightly pretty.
This time, wealth and glory were right before his eyes. Xiao Tan wanted to give it a try, so he followed Hua Jiqian's wishes.
However, she won the bet. In order to annoy the female protagonist, Xue promoted Xiao Tan to be Hua Jiqian's concubine.
......
Time passed slowly, and the time for the provincial examination was approaching.
Shenghua Palace.
As soon as Concubine Song entered the palace, she suddenly saw her daughter embroidering a sachet, which was rare. She had never done this before, and she thought it was for that bad boy.
She said with a little jealousy: "Lingling, are you embroidering the sachet for that boy from the Hua family?"
"Yufan is going to take part in the provincial examination. My daughter will embroider a sachet for him and take it to Guanghua Temple to pray for blessings. He will surely pass the examination."
"Hey, Lingling has never embroidered for mother."
Liu Zhuling finally recognized her mother's sour voice, raised her head and hugged Concubine Song, saying coquettishly: "I will embroider for you when I become proficient in it."
"So what are you embroidering now?" Concubine Song saw the yellow paste on the sachet.
"The roast chicken from Mr. Liu at the end of Jinxiu Street. Yufan said just embroider my favorite things."
Concubine Song looked at the sachet with a hard-to-tell expression, and forced a smile: "Mother, don't want it anymore. It's better not to tire Lingling."
