Lin Donghe looked at the Moon at this moment, so naturally his plan was in it.

The Queen Mother understood but didn't point it out.

"The Ai family said that this round is left to you to decide." The empress dowager looked calm. Even if she was selected in this round, she would have to pass the emperor's level again. Because they were all wealthy ladies from aristocratic court officials. Even if they were not selected in the end, the emperor would give him a marriage, so everyone would pay so much attention to this concubine selection banquet. If they performed well, they would ascend to the sky in one step, fly up to the branch and turn into a phoenix. Even if they were defeated, they would be envious of others to be able to get the emperor to give him marriage to other princes and nobles.

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, Lin Donghe was about to speak, when Lin Jian suddenly stood up, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Lin Jian.

"Grandma Huang, since she is choosing a concubine, it is not very suitable to find her second brother to replace her questions. She has already taken the exam for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting before, and Grandma Huang also asked questions. In fact, there are only six people left in this third round of competition. If the two people are eliminated, it would be cruel. Grandma Huang also feels unbearable. Grandma Huang, why not leave six daughters and leave them to the father to decide."

As soon as Lin Jian said this, he echoed a lot.

Today's competition was already in the middle of the night, and now there are only six people left. If we compete again, we don't know what trouble will happen. Lin Jian also grabbed the Queen Mother's mind and had already hurt Linghu Pingxue. In fact, there is no big difference between the six and four left, and they all have to pass the emperor's level.

Besides, the Empress Dowager also has a candidate in her mind, so it is indeed unnecessary to continue.

The Queen Mother nodded at Lin Jian, expressing her appreciation and gratitude.

As the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days is used for a while. Even if Lin Jian is the prince, he grows up under the eyes of the empress dowager and wants to enter the empress dowager's heart at a critical moment. In this regard, Lin Donghe can't be as satisfied as Lin Jian.

Lin Donghe was still standing there at this moment, his face pale.

His chess piece was originally intended to shine, but it was wiped out by Lin Jian's words?

Tu Ling'er's face turned pale at this time, but her face still had a calm and composed temperament.

"What the prince said is that when he chose this, the Ai family was in a difficult position. These six daughters can satisfy the Ai family, whether they are piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, or morality. Since this is the case, it is better to leave six people behind and decide together."

As soon as the empress dowager said this, Man Yue looked up at Lin Jian. Seeing his eyes seemingly looking towards Tu Ling'er, Man Yue's eyes flashed, Lin Jian also suspected Tu Ling'er? So he deliberately spoke up and asked the competition to end here, not giving Tu Ling'er a chance to continue to perform. In this way, he would have a better chance to deal with Tu Ling'er.

Tu Ling'er's face had returned to normal, and she stood quietly in place with her eyes down, with her eyes still unable to help but look in the direction of Lin Donghe again.

Man Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she felt more and more complicated and terrifying Tu Ling'er's background.

The banquet for selection ended here. Among the six selected people, Song Xiaoyou and Ding Juming were all expected. These two people are popular in Kyoto on weekdays. They have made a lot of appearances and have accumulated a lot of popularity.

Tu Ling'er was praised by the Queen Mother for her picture of a hundred birds paying phoenixes, and naturally it was the focus of everyone's eyes.

As for Shang Moxin, she usually doesn’t show up for a long time and always has a cold face. Everyone has no deep impression of her, and only thinks that she is not easy to get along with.

Liu Caiyun was unanimously ridiculed and disdained. Although Liu Caiyun had excellent piano skills, she lost because her character was not open and honest enough, giving people the feeling of being eager for quick success and instant benefits.

Only when we arrived at the Full Moon, everyone didn’t know how to evaluate it.

It is widely rumored that Linghu Manyue’s birth date and horoscope is a true broom star. She has lived in a small county for seven years. It is logical that she is rude and rude, but the song Qingping dial blinded everyone’s eyes. When answering the question asked by the Empress Dowager, she solved all the problems with great effort. If she was really the Linghu Manyue who had lived in a small county for seven years, how could she have such a calm and generous performance today? Everyone was surprised, but she was confused and couldn’t understand.

——

The banquet for selecting concubines ended here with Lin Jian’s few words.

It was almost late at night, and the Queen Mother and the Queen comforted everyone and left first. Other family ladies gathered together to talk and chat. Most of the topics were about what happened today's concubine-chosen banquet.

Linghu Quan was left by the Queen Mother to spend the night in Yanxi Palace, and Chunyue led Jing Lie back alone.

As soon as Man Yue got up, he saw Yan Qingqing and Mo Xin walking towards him at the same time. The three of them had a good understanding when they collaborated on playing Qingping tunes before.

"Miss Linghu, thanks to you today." Yan Qingqing looked beautiful and refined, and she blushed when she spoke, and she was a typical lady-like demeanor.

"Come back together?" Shang Moxin spoke lightly, his tone and expression were the same dull.

Man Yue smiled at Yan Qingqing, and then returned to Shang Moxin, "Auntie left the carriage, Jinglie and I were with you."

"Okay, goodbye." Shang Moxin was not a dragging personality. She felt that the Man Yue's temperament was a little closer to her, but Man Yue was smarter and more agile, so just click to talk to someone with similar personalities.

Shang Moxin nodded at Man Yue and turned around and left.

Yan Qingqing smiled shyly, thinking of saying a few words to thank Man Yue, but because she was shy, she didn't know what to say, so she finally smiled at Man Yue and turned around and left.

"Sister, Your Highness the Crown Prince is here." Linghu Jinglie gently pulled Man Yue's hand.

Man Yue frowned slightly, then let go as if nothing had happened, looking at Lin Jian who was walking towards him.

In the hall, before the people had dispersed, Lin Jian's every move was already eye-catching. Now he was clearly walking towards him. Without waiting for him to get closer, the full moon has become the focus of jealousy and envy in everyone's eyes.

She was tired today, no matter what Lin Jian said, she would wait and say it later.

Man Yue said nothing and pulled Jinglie up and turned around and left. Although Linghu Jinglie was surprised, he followed Man Yue sensiblely without asking a word. Lin Jian's steps of moving forward came to an abrupt end when Man Yue turned around.

The next moment, a woman's scream rang out among the crowd.

Lin Jian frowned and looked behind him, and saw that it was Tu Ling'er who suddenly blocked Lin Dongyao.

Man Yue, who was originally about to leave, stopped and protected Jing Lie behind with one hand, looking vigilantly at the center of the hall.

Nian Zheng was catching a silver-white snake in his hand. The snake was spitting out a blood-red core, and his tongue twisted forward and backward.

"Stay!" Lin Dongyao ordered in a deep voice, not asking Nian Zheng to kill the little snake immediately.

Everyone looked closely and found that Tu Ling'er's back was covered in blood, as if she had been bitten by a snake.

"Ling'er! Ling'er!" Tu Ling'er's mother Liang rushed to Tu Ling'er. Seeing Tu Ling'er's face pale and weak breath, she immediately felt uncontrollably and didn't know what to do.

"This--this, the fifth prince, please save Ling'er, what's wrong with Ling'er?"

"A poisonous snake rushed out just now. Tu Ling'er was blocked by the fifth prince and was bitten by the poisonous snake. Otherwise, the one who was injured was-" The whispering daughter below was halfway through her words.

Everyone came to their senses and looked at Tu Ling'er, who was lying on the ground with a faint breath, in shock or sympathy.

"New Year's Government! Pass on the imperial doctor!" Lin Dongyao looked at Tu Ling'er lying on the ground and ordered in a deep voice.

Nian Zheng handed the little snake to the guard behind him and left.

Tu Ling'er's face became more and more pale and terrifying, as if she had used all her strength to open her eyes and look in the direction of Lin Dongyao. Seeing that Lin Dongyao was safe and sound, Tu Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief and whispered,

"Fifth Prince, are you okay?" At this critical moment, Tu Ling'er could still think about Lin Dongyao's safety. Such a self-sacrifice spirit made Man Yue confused.

If the doubts about her were wrong before, then Tu Ling'er would be really affectionate and loyal, but if this was a bitter flesh show, it would have really invested a lot.

Man Yue and Lin Jian looked at each other without making any sound.

Everyone who was about to disperse in the hall also surrounded him. Seeing Tu Ling'er, who was bitten by a poisonous snake, her face was pale as pale as paper, shook her head frequently and sighed.

Lin Dongyao looked at Tu Ling'er, and the emotions surging deep in the dark pupils were deep and cold. The next moment, he leaned over slightly and squatted down.

Han Tong stayed on the back of Tu Ling'er's injured hand for a moment, and then looked at her. Although he was staying with Tu Ling'er, his expression was more scrutinized than others.

"Send the order to temporarily block the news and do not tell the Queen Mother and the Queen." Lin Jian coldly ordered the personal guards, and the guards had to leave.

After a while, the imperial doctor came over and first took Tu Ling'er a pill to clear heat and detoxify, and then arranged a few people to carry her to the backyard.

Liang was following his daughter, tears couldn't stop falling. Tu Ling'er's breath became weaker and weaker, and she had no strength to open her eyes.

Man Yue watched everyone lift Tu Ling'er down with all her might, her face was as quiet as water.

When Lin Jian walked past her, she whispered, "It's not peaceful tonight, I'll wait for me to send you."

The full moon heard it but ignored it.

Of course it will not be peaceful tonight, but what if Lin Jian sends her back to the Marquis' Mansion safely? Linghu Pingxue's face is so hurt. How can the second wife and the old lady give up? She has to solve the problem of the Marquis' Mansion by herself.

The poisoned Tu Ling'er was lying in the back room at this moment. The people in the hall had dispersed. Man Yue followed everyone out, holding Jing Lie tightly in her hand.

When it was in chaos just now, Man Yue kept paying attention to Lin Donghe, but strangely, Lin Donghe could not be found! A poisonous snake attacked Lin Dongyao, but Lin Donghe disappeared. How can these two things prevent Man Yue from being connected?

The moon led Jing Lie to the road he came, and suddenly a dark shadow flashed by, suddenly blocking her.
