"When he learned that the top-ranked test papers had been released, he must have gone to see them. But I don't know what happened. When I just returned from reviewing the memorials with you, the emperor, I heard the news that his house was on fire."
"Why didn't I rush over? The prefect of Shengjing has arrived and said that the fire was caused by kerosene and someone wants to harm him!"
"But the neighbors were all good people and rescued him from the fire. But after he woke up, he left and no one knew where he went. A beautiful woman like me just disappeared like that! I asked the soldiers to look for him, but there's still no response."
Wen Yu kept talking, but the emperor's gaze became heavier and heavier, almost dripping with water.
"I don't know who dared to bully my man! My brother, you must help me! Find him back! And find out who hurt him, otherwise I will hang myself with a noodle!"
Wen Yu said as she lay on her brother's shoulder and continued to howl: "I finally found someone so satisfactory, I am satisfied with every aspect of her."
"Even the stick is very satisfactory to me, and it is comparable to Lu Ren's! But it is gone just like that, my royal brother, you must make the decision for me!"
emperor:……
He gently stroked Wen Yu's back with his hand, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
The emperor's sensitivity and suspicion allowed him to unravel the mystery almost instantly. He extracted useful information from Wen Yu's crying words and realized that there was something fishy going on.
"Don't worry, if anyone dares to bully your man, it's the same as bullying my woman. I will definitely take care of it for you."
Wen Yu looked at the emperor with admiration when she heard this: "My royal brother, you look so handsome when you say this. You are really my good royal brother. I am so touched. I am so touched."
As he spoke, he skillfully put his fingers into the teacup, dipped a little tea and smeared it on his cheek.
emperor:……
He sighed, and then warned: "However, my sister, please do not make this public for now, so as not to alert the enemy. I will investigate it carefully..."
Wen Yu nodded repeatedly: "I know, go into the village quietly, don't shoot."
emperor:……
The goal was achieved. Wen Yu pretended to howl twice, then waved the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Royal brother, I believe in you~ You will definitely return my man to me, muah~"
The emperor smiled slightly and said in a doting tone: "Don't worry, sister."
After Wen Yu left, the emperor's face was filled with anger and turned cold.
"What a drama, a man was silenced after reading the volume of the top list, what's so shameful about this?"
He picked up the teacup and threw it at His Highness. With a bang, the cup broke into pieces and the tea splashed everywhere.
All the palace servants in the hall suddenly trembled like sieves, knelt on the ground with a plop, and prostrated themselves on the ground, even breathing lightly, for fear of bringing bad luck to the emperor.
After Wen Yu left the hall, she gently wiped the tea stains off her face. She looked up at the sky which was already turning slightly pale, with a hint of fatigue on her face.
Liu Chun saw this and felt very distressed: "Princess, you are exhausted today. You have been to the palace twice and reviewed memorials for so long. You have been worrying about Master Yue's matter until now. It's already dawn. Let's go back to the mansion to rest and recuperate."
Wen Yu walked down the steps and asked, "Is there any news about Yue Lingfeng?"
"Not yet, but the palace soldiers are still looking for it."
Wen Yu nodded: "Let's go back home first."
Liu Chun said: "It seems that the princess is particularly worried about Master Yue. I don't think I've ever seen the princess worry so much about General Lu?"
Wen Yu sat in the carriage and took a sip of tea. Her voice was still worn out from the howling just now.
"Yue Lingfeng should be safe now. The only thing I'm worried about is his health. As for Lu Ren, with his martial arts skills, if this happened to him, I shouldn't be worried about him, but the mastermind. I'm worried that they died too quickly. I didn't even have time to blink, let alone applaud."
Liuchun: That’s true…
"Of course, I am also worried about Lu Ren. I am worried that he will bring me a little white flower."
Liuchun: ...
On the way back to the princess's mansion, the carriage passed by an inn. In the stable in the backyard of the inn, Yue Lingfeng's fever finally subsided and he slowly woke up.
Cheng Enwen had been guarding Yue Lingfeng all night and was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. But when he found that he was awake, he immediately became alert.
His first words were: "You called me Miss 982 times last night. Don't question it. I counted them myself."
Yue Lingfeng was still a little drowsy, but after hearing Cheng Enwen's words, his eyes became clearer.
He stood up and said apologetically, "Thank you for taking care of me all night, Brother Cheng."
"It's not hard. Miss Shu is quite interesting."
Cheng Enwen joked in a humorous way.
"Brother Yue, when you had a fever last night, some soldiers came to search us. Fortunately, we were not exposed."
Yue Lingfeng frowned: "So fast..."
He remembered that he seemed to have heard some familiar words in a coma, but he couldn't quite remember them.
It's like remembering the dream while you're dreaming, but not being able to recall it when you wake up.
Yue Lingfeng lowered his eyes and said nothing, as if he was making a decision.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Brother Cheng, I'm going to file a complaint with the emperor."
Cheng Enwen's eyes widened when he heard this: "Sue, sue the emperor? Are you crazy?!"
"It's certain that they want to kill us. We can't just keep hiding and waiting for death. We must fight back." Yue Lingfeng was extremely calm. "But we have nothing. The only way is to file a complaint with the emperor. We have to do it."
Cheng Enwen said, "But can anyone file a complaint? Do you know what the price is? You have to walk ten meters in a fire basin and roll a hundred meters on a nail board before you can see the emperor. Ordinary people would lose half their lives. How can you possibly bear it with your body? You will definitely die!"
Yue Lingfeng clenched his fists and said, "Of course I know. I'm going to die anyway. I'd rather die on the way to file a complaint with the emperor. I'm willing to use my life to inform the world about the cheating in the imperial examinations, so that the emperor can conduct a thorough investigation and restore order to the imperial examinations."
"What about your lady? If you die, what will happen to your lady?"
