Chapter 271(1/2)
There is a problem with wine
"I have been sending people to keep an eye on him. He has recently been in contact with the shopkeeper of Zhiwei Bookstore, and he even secretly met with Du Yue," the prince said.
Liu Qiqi thought of what she saw that day, and looked at the confidence of the man in front of her. She said what the system said, "Can you help Yan Ling'er?"
"No!" The prince refused directly.
Liu Qiqi didn't insist. She thought she was touching a man's bottom line. When the maid brought the food, she started eating directly. She didn't say anything more about the rejection of her proposal not long ago.
The prince was relieved to see that the woman was not angry.
He was the one who killed Xu Shangshu. How could he allow Xu Shangshu's son to be an official? Wouldn't it be raising a tiger's head?
If he hadn't been concerned about the relationship between his daughter and Yan Ling'er at that time, Xu Lei might not be alive today!
As for Mrs. Xu, he has other plans, and it’s not time to tell the woman clearly yet!
The prince had another idea today.
He planned to come up with the questions himself and would not reveal the title.
And because of the script, I thought of the case investigated that time.
Pan Yu's question is really extraordinary. What would happen if the person who asked the question was Li Shangshu?
Thinking about it, the prince looked forward to that scene.
With a plan in mind, I felt that the grapes in front of me had a sour taste, and I no longer felt sour.
Liu Qiqi saw his behavior.
Thinking that the grapes might have been grown by Li Jiaxuan, and seeing him eating them with such gusto, I felt sour in my heart.
“Do grapes taste good?”
"Yeah." The prince said, picking another one and putting it in his mouth.
"Don't you feel sour?" Liu Qiqi asked.
"A little bit, but the acidity is just right and it tastes more delicious."
When Liu Qiqi heard this, she didn't want to speak at all.
Soon after, Chunbi and others brought food and two jars of wine.
Liu Qiqi was about to drink, so she decided to eat and drink at the same time.
Today's wine felt a little bitter, and she knew it was because of the grapes.
She controlled her thoughts very well and did not show them on her face.
But the more wine she drank, the worse it became, so she simply stopped drinking.
The prince held the wine glass and asked, "What's wrong?" He looked in a bad mood?
Liu Qiqi glanced at the wine jar and said, "The wine tastes a little strange today."
"Is there any?" The prince smelled the wine in the glass carefully, "It's the same!"
Liu Qiqi pushed the wine jar in front of her to the man, "I drink from this jar."
The prince didn't notice. After the woman reminded him, he simply took the woman's wine glass, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.
When I smell it, I can smell the difference.
The prince put the wine glass aside calmly, "Forget it, drinking alone is no fun, let's go to admire the moon!"
The prince wanted to enjoy the night view, but God did not cooperate. It was cloudy outside, and a heavy rain was likely to come at any time.
When Liu Qiqi saw it, she laughed rudely.
The prince looked unhappy and took the woman back to the house. When he came to the house, he saw Chunbi, Yudai and Zhou Yan clearing the table, but Qingdai and the wine jar were nowhere to be seen.
As if nothing was wrong, he came to the inner hall with the woman. Liu Qiqi picked up the storybook and read it.
The prince walked over and asked, "Is this what that person wrote?"
"Yes." Liu Qiqi sent the script in her hand to the prince.
The prince took it and looked at it carefully.
After reading for a while, he saw questions about scientific examinations.
He did not participate in the past scientific examinations because he wanted to write his own questions this year and do some research on this aspect.
After reading it, I found that the most popular scientific examination questions in the past are all here, and there are some that I have been paying attention to recently.
You don’t know it by looking at it, but when you look at it, you find that it goes in the same direction as you thought.
Thinking of this, the prince's hand holding the script tightened slightly.
Damn it!
There are eyes beside him that shouldn't appear!
who?
Who is it?
The people who can get close to him have been carefully selected. Which link is the problem?
Thinking again that there was something wrong with the woman's drink just now, he felt an uncontrollable anger in his heart. For the sake of the woman, he tried hard to control himself and stay with her.
Soon after, Qingdai brought tea.
The prince looked over and Qingdai nodded. Liu Qiqi didn't notice this action and picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"It tastes a little weird?"
Qingdai said, "This is scented tea."
Liu Qiqi took a closer look and found that the taste was a bit strange and she didn't like it. Since the prince was around, she was worried that the prince would punish her if she didn't drink it, so she drank it slowly.
Qingdai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left with the teacup in hand.
Not long after, Liu Qiqi felt a little tired and dozed off frequently.
"Are you sleepy?" the prince asked.
Liu Qiqi nodded, got up and walked to the bed, took off her coat, got into bed, and quickly fell asleep.
The prince made sure that the woman was asleep and came to check.
Make sure that the woman will not wake up soon, and cover her with a quilt carefully.
When the prince arrived in the courtyard, Zhao Kai and Sun Shuo were already waiting.
Before the prince left, he glanced at Yudai and the others. Yudai, Zhou Yan, and Chunbi already knew the general information from Qingdai, and they all knelt on the ground to send the prince off respectfully.
The prince came to the study, and there was a dark group of people kneeling inside.
The prince looked at the people on the ground and said, "Go!"
When the people kneeling on the ground heard this, they left as quickly as possible.
After all the men in black left, Zhao Kai and Sun Shuo came to the prince.
The prince stared at the two of them, trusting them. Who is the eye next to him?
The matter has been told, and he can only wait.
The faces of everyone around him flashed through his mind, but without finding any clues, he set his sights on the powerful people in the capital.
After thinking about it for a while, I had no idea.
Not long after, there was movement outside the imperial study room.
Zhao Kai went to open the door, saw Qing Dai standing at the door, and let him go directly.
Qingdai arrived, knelt down and carried her luggage, "Prince, this is the palace maid, Aunt Wu."
"Aunt Wu?" The prince thought of the palace maid who was taken away by Aunt Wu and died on the way.
If it were anything else, the prince knew that he wouldn't be too angry. No one in the palace was clean. As long as it didn't offend him, he wouldn't be angry. It was different today. If he dared to stretch his hands on Liu Qiqi, everyone should die!
When the prince arrived outside the royal study, he saw several people led by Aunt Wu kneeling on the ground.
The prince just took a look and turned to leave.
Following his move, Nanny Wu and others who were kneeling on the ground fell to the ground one by one.
The smell of blood hasn't dissipated yet, it has been cleaned up.
Zhao Kai had been waiting at the door. When he saw everything returned to its original state, he turned and walked into the imperial study.
At this time, Sun Shuo had already taken the order and left.
Zhao Kai stood nearby, waiting for the prince's order.
This wait lasted one night.
the next day.
The prince attended the morning court.
