Chapter 186 The Wind Rises
When the Embroidered Uniform Guard saw that it was the princess who spoke, he hurriedly stood up to salute, "Sit down, I just want to take a look." He immediately lowered his eyelashes. There was nothing he could do. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan was a jealous person, and he didn't dare to do it.
The old woman saw a gorgeously dressed and extremely beautiful woman suddenly appear in front of her, and she knew that it was the distinguished guest, so she hurriedly bowed and said: "Greetings, distinguished guest, the concubine has now been taken as his concubine." Anyway, the beast already had legitimate sons and daughters, and it was impossible for the concubine to be made the legal wife, so there was no point in marrying him.
She just felt sorry for her little daughter, and her grandson and granddaughter, because she had no way to take them in to raise them.
Who made the grandson and granddaughter's beastly father and grandparents still alive?
Su Zhenzhen asked her not to be polite and then asked: "If the coffin is opened for autopsy, would you be willing?" The state of a dismembered body is different from that of a normal body.
The old woman gritted her teeth and said, "I'm willing." She just wanted to give her daughter justice, a life for a life.
Su Zhenzhen nodded, "You are responsible for following up on this matter." The Jinyiwei accepted the order, "I obey your command." After saying that, she walked over. She saw that there seemed to be something wrong with Rong Jinchen.
The old woman covered her mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "Was that the Princess just now?" She was truly a fairy-like beauty with a kind heart. The Jinyiwei nodded, "That was the Princess of Yan." The Princess was so generous, beautiful, and kind-hearted!
Rong Jinchen looked at the handsome young man in front of him. He was dressed neatly and stood straight. "What do you want from me?" He had just wanted to go look for Qingqing.
Seeing that His Royal Highness Prince Yan had a cold expression and an intimidating aura, Su Xu encouraged himself in his heart and bowed, saying, "Your Highness Prince Yan, I have something to report. May I have a moment to talk to you?" He had sorted out his evidence over the past few days and unraveled it, finally seeing what frightened him.
It was a complicated web that might even involve the fight for the throne. He finally waited for His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to arrive in Yangzhou.
God knows Su Xu originally just wanted to teach Gu Wenbo a lesson.
Su Xu's heart was beating fast at this moment. He had never seen such a high-ranking official, and he was a prince at that. He didn't know whether His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan could agree to his somewhat presumptuous request.
After an unknown amount of time, perhaps just a moment, he felt cold sweat on his back. He wanted to look up to see the expression of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, but he saw him suddenly put on a tender smile. The next moment, Su Xu realized that this expression of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan was definitely not for him.
Sure enough, he heard the sweet and charming voice of the girl behind him, "Husband, what are you doing?" Su Zhenzhen walked up to Rong Jinchen and saw someone opposite him. She took Rong Jinchen's hand, pursed her lips and smiled at him.
Rong Jinchen raised the corners of his lips and replied to her gently: "I was just about to look for you." Su Zhenzhen nodded, smiled at him, and held his big hand obediently without saying a word.
Su Xu did not dare to interrupt the conversation between His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and His Royal Highness the Princess of Yan. Fortunately, the man, who was in a good mood at the moment, held the small, soft hand in his hand and glanced at him nonchalantly, "Yes, Gu Heng." Gu Heng smiled and responded. As His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the Princess entered the government office, he also smiled and said, "Sir, please come in."
The officials of Yangzhou Prefecture were trembling with fear. "Don't be so reserved! They are very scared!"
On the way, Su Zhenzhen told Rong Jinchen about the dismemberment case and got his unanimous agreement. She felt satisfied instantly. It turned out that having a partner who shares the same values and won't spoil the fun is so important.
Rong Jinchen comforted her again: "Don't worry, my dear, the Jinyiwei will definitely investigate it thoroughly." This kind of scum is simply a villain. A man like him who loves his wife feels disgusted when he hears such a thing.
Su Xu followed behind them. Gu Heng calmly inquired about the man's origins and even pulled him aside to chat casually, "Your Highness and the Princess look like a couple in heaven, very loving and affectionate, don't they?" Su Xu's eyes flickered slightly, "Everyone in Daqin knows that His Highness the Prince of Yan loves the Princess deeply, and the Princess naturally feels the same way."
When they arrived at the guest house next to the back garden of the government office, Rong Jinchen sat on the armchair at the top of the main hall and gave Su Zhenzhen a bowl of icy yogurt that Lu Wu was holding.
Then he looked at Su Xu and said, "You can talk now." Su Xu also knew that this was an opportunity he had finally gotten.
He said: "My name is Su Xu, and I'm a student at Wansong Academy... I originally just wanted to know why I didn't make the list, but I found out that among the students whose grades were not good enough to make the list, those students who were children of high-ranking officials and aristocratic families all became scholars." He added slowly: "I went to the Royal Library to check the list of successful candidates in the academy and provincial examinations over the years. Nine out of ten officials and children of aristocratic families with mediocre grades were admitted as scholars and juren." Su Xu knew that there was a lot of water here. The imperial examination was a matter of life and death for the court. He was afraid that there was suspected cheating in the imperial examination.
That's why he didn't dare to continue investigating and decided to leave it to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, who was capable of handling the matter.
Rong Jinchen's originally nonchalant expression froze, and he heard Su Xu say: "Take Wansong Academy where I study for example. It was common for students to perform poorly in exams in the past, but I have always been the first in Class A. Even if I perform poorly, I can be sure that my answer sheet can pass the academy exam, but my name is not on the list." Wouldn't the posted list have no prestige?
The man's eyes darkened, "Do you remember the answer sheet at that time?" Su Xu nodded, "Gu Heng, get paper and pen." Gu Heng took the order and went down.
Su Zhenzhen looked at the man's furrowed brows and knew in her heart that this was a serious matter. Since ancient times, the imperial examination has been a major event concerning the lifeblood of the country.
What's more, now is the time to fight for the throne. Even if my father does not want to change the crown prince, there is no turning back. Although Prince Jin is the whetstone given by my father to the crown prince, he has to take this step.
Dad had written to me earlier saying that the situation in the capital was becoming increasingly tense, so it would be a good idea to let them have more fun outside.
Su Zhenzhen was thinking about what the time-traveling girl Luo Zhihan said at the beginning about the prince being enthroned and deposed twice. Could it be related to this matter?
Although for her there seems to be no difference between being a princess and being a queen, after all, the time-traveling girl Luo Zhihan also said that in the future she and Rong Jinchen will be a couple for life.
However, Rong Jinchen and Crown Prince Rong Jinyou have a good relationship. Can this man accept it?
They looked at Su Xu who was reciting the test questions. Su Zhenzhen patted the back of the man's hand, and the blue veins on his fair skin were winding and undulating. She originally wanted to comfort him, but her attention was attracted by the man's big hand. She calmed herself down and said softly: "Husband, everything will work out when the time comes." Rong Jinchen said "hmm" lightly, and withdrew his complicated thoughts. His smooth forehead was touched by her soft and delicate white hand. "Don't frown, it will make you ugly." Su Zhenzhen rubbed his tightly furrowed brows with her fingers, supporting his little head with one hand, deliberately trying to make him happy.
Rong Jinchen was certain in his heart that with Qingqing around, he was not afraid of anything.
Not long after, Su Xu also finished memorizing the test questions, and Gu Cheng brought the test questions to Rong Jinchen and Su Zhenzhen to see.
