Chapter 252 They want to plot against Xiao Jinxuan
"Good job!"
Xie Zhuoning was the first to stand up and applaud Princess Yunheng.
As she started, the women in the stands also began to cheer.
Princess Yunheng was so proud that she held up the pearl and waved in all directions.
Xiao Bicheng came back to his senses, but his brows were gloomy and he was not happy. "How can Yun Heng be considered a winner? She just had good luck."
If "Zhang Qiao" had not defeated Gong Li and was accidentally dragged to death by Zou Lin, how could she have reached the top with her mediocre kung fu?
Xiao Jinxuan tugged at his robes, his voice was light but powerful, "Who said luck is not a kind of strength?"
Those who were eliminated by Gong Li and "Zhang Qiao" can be considered unlucky.
But what about those who were not eliminated by them but gave up because their opponents were too strong?
If they hadn't left halfway, how could Princess Yunheng have missed out?
Luck is fleeting, and only those who seize the opportunity at the critical moment and persevere can become the ultimate winner.
Therefore, Yunheng’s first place is well deserved!
Xiao Bicheng frowned, "What the emperor's uncle said makes sense, but this is after all about choosing a husband for Yunheng. How can we proceed with her making such a fuss?"
Xiao Jinxuan glanced over and said, "In order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, Yunheng didn't want anyone weaker than her to be elected as the Prince Consort of Daye, so she eliminated all the weak ones. What's wrong with that?"
Xiao Bicheng choked: "..."
Hearing this, Yunheng was right, but could it be that he was wrong?
Princess Jing'an saw the uncle and nephew arguing and tried to smooth things over. "I think we should leave it as it is. There is still the literary examination. I believe there will be someone Yunheng likes among so many talented young men."
It was not until this moment that Xiao Bicheng came to his senses.
Yes, there is also the written test. Just in case, he also placed candidates on the written test side, and he already knew all the test questions in advance and made foolproof preparations.
Moreover, Yunheng is good at being naughty and mischievous, but he is a half-baked student.
If I keep an eye on her, she won't have the chance to attack me again.
"Aunt is right. Another martial arts test will inevitably take up a lot of time, which is really unfair to those who will take the literary test later. In this case, let's say Yun Heng wins this competition!"
Although the word "even if" sounds harsh, the recognition of Princess Yunheng's achievements means that their plan is successful.
When the sound of gongs and drums that declared Princess Yunheng's victory spread throughout the entire martial arts arena, Yang Yijun was so happy that he wanted to jump up.
But when she saw Xie Zhuoning beside her, who seemed to be looking at the main stand with her head tilted in a trance, she quickly lowered her voice to remind him, "Sister Xie, stop staring at His Royal Highness Prince Xuan. It's too obvious."
Among the female guests who came today, there were many admirers of His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, but they only glanced at him secretly.
Unlike her, she just stares without blinking.
"Hmm?" Xie Zhuoning heard the voice and retracted his gaze, "I'm not looking at Xiao Jinxuan, I'm looking at Princess Qingyi."
Princess Qingyi was sitting on the other side of Xiao Jinxuan. If one wanted to see her, one had to look at Xiao Jinxuan.
Knowing that she had made a big mistake, Yang Yijun smiled awkwardly, but her curiosity was aroused. "Sister Xie, why are you staring at Princess Qingyi? I don't think there is a flower on her face!"
Xie Zhuoning paused and turned to ask her, "We are sitting closest to the main stand. Did you hear who Princess Qingyi chose?"
Yang Yijun shook his head, "I went to see Princess Yunheng."
Yes, the original intention of holding the civil and military conference was to choose a husband for Zhuang Qingyi, and Princess Yunheng was originally just a by-product.
But now, Princess Yunheng is in control, causing the person who really wants to choose a husband to go into hiding.
Something is wrong.
Something is wrong.
But Xie Zhuoning couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only stare at Princess Qingyi, trying to find clues from her expression.
But they were too far away, so she couldn't see anything. She only saw Zhuang Qingyi looking completely indifferent, as if she had no interest in the outcome.
The martial arts test ended with everyone feeling unsatisfied, and everyone left the martial arts arena and headed for the literary test at Bowun Garden.
Princess Yunheng won the victory and was happily planning to go find Xie Zhuoning, but unexpectedly she was called over by Princess Jing'an halfway.
She thought bitterly that she was going to be scolded for sure.
As expected, as soon as she arrived, she was lectured by Princess Jing'an and told not to make trouble again.
Xiao Bicheng even sent someone to keep her under guard to prevent her from causing trouble again.
Princess Yunheng's eyebrows drooped, like an eggplant hit by frost.
You can escape the first day, but you can’t escape the fifteenth.
It seems like she has to get married this time whether she wants to or not!
the other side.
Xie Zhuoning and Yang Yijun quickly came out of the martial arts arena, "We have to find Yunheng as soon as possible."
She was able to win the first round entirely because of her unexpectedness, but it would not be so easy for her to win the second round, the written test.
So we must find her as soon as possible and reunite.
Just as she was thinking about it, a figure hurriedly avoided the crowd and came to her quietly.
It is Li Jue, one of the four smartest and most capable brothers.
He handed over a note, "This is the information Mr. Murong found out. I'll have my subordinates give it to you as quickly as possible."
He's so anxious, it must be very important news.
Xie Zhuoning took it without delay, opened it and took a look.
In just a moment, the color of her eyes changed, as if they were shrouded in thick fog, deep and bottomless.
Murong Yan said that he found out where the eunuch who bought the illegal drugs from the low-class Li Si that day came from.
It’s none other than Duke Zhao’s Mansion!
Before, she had been speculating whether it was someone sent out from the palace, but she was too narrow-minded and forgot that the princes and princesses who lived outside the palace were all served by eunuchs.
It is possible that the young eunuch is someone close to Princess Jing'an.
But what does Princess Jing'an want to do with drugs?
It's not possible that your son is already that old and still needs to have a passionate affair with Duke Zhao?
In the note, Murong Yan gave his guess: the banned drug was most likely related to this civil and military conference.
That's why he asked Li Jue to pass the news to her as soon as possible, so that she could be careful at the conference.
"Is it related to this conference?"
Who does Princess Jing'an plan to use the forbidden drug that makes people's desires uncontrollable against?
Various guesses flashed through her mind, and finally she decided to go to Bowinyuan first.
In Bowen Garden, a group of young masters from aristocratic families were gearing up and preparing to show off their skills with great interest.
On the most central stand, Princess Jing'an sat in the main seat, and next to her, Xiao Bicheng held Princess Yunheng down and made her sit quietly next to him.
On the other hand, the two positions on the other side were vacant at the same time.
Yang Yijun obviously saw it too, and asked quietly, "Sister Xie, why didn't Prince Xuan and Princess Qingyi come?"
Yeah, is it such a coincidence?
Xie Zhuoning's heart suddenly began beating violently, and his head was buzzing.
Princess Jinghe sent her eunuch to buy the forbidden drug...
During the competition, Princess Qingyi didn't care about choosing a husband at all...
Also, Xiao Jinxuan and Zhuang Qingyi disappeared at the same time...
It was as if there was a dark thread that connected all the details together, and it burst out all at once.
"They want to plot against Xiao Jinxuan!"
