Chapter 135 Like a Human Tooth

So many people in the upper study were tested, including princes, noblemen, and various book boys.

Among them, there are many people who turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside and focus on reading the books of sages.

Not to mention harming others, these people even think saying one more word is unnecessary.

They would definitely not let the Thirteenth Prince be stung by a bee.

Xu Ran and the Fourteenth Prince couldn’t even think of this?

idiot.

What's more, that box was not the relic of the Mermaid Saint, it was just something Jiujiu asked someone to find.

There is no way to figure out who caused the Thirteenth Prince to be stung by a bee.

They are all lies.

It was Jiujiu who came up with this way to catch the bad guys based on the plot about the box of the Mermaid Saint in the book.

The person who actually caused the Thirteenth Prince to be stung by a bee would definitely feel guilty because of Jiujiu's method and would paint his fingers black during the test in order to get away with it.

Little did they know that their act of painting their fingers black actually exposed them.

Jiujiu got off the table and came to Xu Ran and the Fourteenth Prince, pointing at them and their servants, and said, "You guys are the bad guys who harmed my Thirteenth Brother."

Xu Ran was accused and panicked. He said, "Little Princess, you must have made a mistake. How could it be us?"

“We have black on our fingers.”

"You said that only those with black on their fingers are innocent."

"Haha, that was just nonsense." Jiujiu used the softest and most tender tone to speak the most horrifying truth, "You actually believed it? And you were fooled?"

"..."Xu Ran and the Fourteenth Prince were stunned.

Seeing that they still didn't understand, Jiujiu put his finger into the test box in front of them. After a moment, he took it out and showed it to them.

Jiujiu's fingers are clean, without any black spots.

so--

"You can't put your hand in the box and it won't change color."

"The person who deliberately painted his finger black is the one who caused the Thirteenth Prince to be stung by a bee."

"The perpetrators are Xu Ran, the Fourteenth Prince, and their servants."

Teacher Qi Zhongshu, who had been watching at the door, stated the facts, then clapped his hands, looked at Jiujiu with satisfaction, and slowly walked in.

His eyes fell on Jiujiu.

It had been many years since he had seen such a smart child.

He thought that he would never meet such a person in his lifetime, and that he could only teach these mediocre, ordinary, stupid, slow-witted people with blocked brains.

Unexpectedly, he saw Jiujiu today.

He didn't come in to interrupt Jiujiu just now because he wanted to see how Jiujiu would catch the people who harmed the Thirteenth Prince.

The final result lived up to his expectations.

The princess is very smart.

He wanted to accept the princess as his last disciple, and his only disciple.

"Princess, after you deal with these people, can you come to my place for a cup of tea?"

Qi Zhongshu spoke to Jiujiu in an alluring tone, his eyes still sparkling, revealing a bit of the burning desire of seeing prey, exactly like... like a human toothcutter.

Jiujiu waved her hand cautiously and said, "Mother said that we can't drink tea made from human teeth?"

"You can't talk to a human tooth."

Be very cautious.

Qi Zhongshu: “…”

He is the greatest scholar in Western Chu, yet he is said to be a human trafficker?

How does he look like a human trafficker? Besides, this is the palace, how can a human trafficker come to the palace?

"Little princess?"

"Please hold your breath for now." Jiujiu said, "Let me deal with those people who bullied my Thirteenth Brother."

"All right."

Jiujiu called the royal guards who were guarding outside and ordered them to immediately beat Xu Ran, the Fourteenth Prince, and their servants with fifty lashes each, and then send them back home.

They are not allowed to come to the study to study anymore.

As for how to read it, figure it out yourself.

Jiujiu was a princess, had a title and was favored by the emperor. She was also in the right when the Thirteenth Prince was stung by a bee. In addition, she had the support of Qi Zhongshu. Therefore, the Imperial Guards had no objection to her treatment and did not dare to refuse, and they carried out the order immediately.

Xu Ran, the Fourteenth Prince and others were beaten half to death and then sent back home.

Jiujiu was worried that after they recovered, they would do something weird again and play a prank on the Thirteenth Prince, so she planned to go to their house in person to give them a warning.

Let their families restrain them.

Qi Zhongshu was anxious to hold a disciple-taking ceremony for the little girl, but Jiujiu was not available.

Qi Zhongshu: “…”

Everyone wants to be his last disciple.

But he didn't want to accept it.

I finally found someone I wanted to accept, but it was so difficult to accept.

Qi Zhongshu was unwilling to give up. He chased Jiujiu everywhere, threatening to accept Jiujiu as his last disciple and giving up on him.

This scene was seen by Feng Caiwei who was busy in the palace.

Feng Caiwei also wanted Qi Zhongshu to accept her as his last disciple.

She is Qi Zhongshu's last disciple, and the only last disciple. If she succeeds, her status will definitely rise, and she may even be able to become a female official in the future.

After becoming a female official and being able to help the male protagonist Dijiang, Dijiang should consider making friends with her!

Thinking of this, Feng Caiwei immediately went back to her residence to write poetry. She wanted to write down all the famous poems in her mind and then show them to Qi Zhongshu.

After seeing her, Qi Zhongshu was amazed and decided to accept her as his last disciple.

The first place Jiujiu went to was the Zhaoyang Palace, where the mother of the Fourteenth Prince lived.

The mother of the Fourteenth Prince, Concubine Xiao, was not favored and was usually unknown, but her maternal family was one of the Thirteenth Tribe of Zhaoli. She was the only little princess in the tribe and was highly loved. She had a strong background, so even after marrying into the Western Chu clan, she was still noble, and the people in the palace were also concerned about her maternal family and dared not offend her.

She lived a good life in the palace.

Emperor Zhaoning also gave her face.

At this moment, Concubine Xiao learned that the Fourteenth Prince was beaten by Jiujiu, and that Secretary Qi was helping Jiujiu and would not allow the Fourteenth Prince to go to the study room from now on. She immediately wanted to find Emperor Zhaoning and ask him to administer justice.

She also shouted: "I am the only little princess of the Thirteen Departments of Zhaoli. No one dares to offend me. What can Feng Jiujiu do even if she is favored by the emperor? Between me and her, the emperor will definitely favor me."

"Because the emperor has always respected the Zhaoli Thirteenth Tribe, and my Zhaoli Thirteenth Tribe is also an ally of Western Chu."

"I don't believe that the emperor would offend the Thirteen Zhaoli Tribes for a princess."

Jiujiu came at this time.

Seeing Concubine Xiao was about to leave, she said with a smile: "Concubine Xiao, you are going to complain, right?"

Concubine Xiao raised her head and said arrogantly, "So what?"

"Feng Jiujiu, others are afraid of you and wary of you, but I am not."

"My mother's family is my support."

"Really?" Jiujiu said innocently, "If Jiujiu told Father that the Thirteen Zhaoli Tribes wanted to join forces with the Southern Kingdom to attack Western Chu."

"Mrs. Xiao, what do you think the emperor will think? Will he still protect you?"

Concubine Xiao's expression changed drastically.

How did Feng Jiujiu know about this?

What else does she know?

Concubine Xiao looked at Jiujiu in horror.
