Early the next morning.

As soon as Qiao Songyu opened his eyes, he suddenly remembered the dream of last night - he dreamed that he and Pei Rongbai were doing that kind of thing!At that time, Pei Rongbai laughed lightly while teasing himself:

"Our Song'er has grown up."

grown up……

He blushed suddenly, touched his body, and found that his body was still a little sweaty, as if he had moved for a long time last night...

Aww, he covered his face, feeling so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to slip in!Sure enough, that kind of book is so harmful to people, that it caused me to have this kind of dream, so I must ask someone to destroy the printing den of that kind of book!

By the way, where is Pei Rongbai?I had that kind of dream myself last night, but he didn't find out, right?

Qiao Songyu got out of bed and looked around, but seeing that Pei Rongbai was nowhere to be seen, she hurriedly called Qiyue and asked, "Qiyue, where is Lord Prime Minister?"Minister".

Qiyue was also quite surprised, after all, her wife looked like she disliked the Lord Prime Minister every day, and she had never been so anxious to find the Lord Prime Minister when she got up together.

She was puzzled but still said respectfully: "Madam, today is the day of the palace examination, and the Lord Prime Minister went out early in the morning to go to court."

"Oh, yes, today is the day of the palace examination! I forgot about it!" Qiao Songyu slapped his forehead, remembering that his second brother was also going to participate in the palace examination today, so he couldn't help but look forward to it.After all, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the palace test, I don't know what rank he can get?

He originally wanted to go to Qiao's house by himself, but remembering that Pei Rongbai didn't let him go out, he called Xiaoman and told him to go to Qiao's house to guard, and report to him immediately if there was any result.

When it was almost noon, Xiaoman and Pei Rongbai did not wait for any of them, but they waited for the things Yin Qianzhan sent.The person who delivered the things was a handsome young man who spoke concisely, leaving only one sentence, "What Prime Minister Pei asked for, my master will deliver it as promised" and left.Qiao Songyu opened the box and looked, it was indeed a pill, he thought suspiciously, today is the day of the palace examination, could it be that the topic of the palace examination is really the same as what Pei Rongbai said?Otherwise, why would Yin Qianzhan send Pei Rongxuan the antidote?

While he asked Pei Ji to send someone to send the antidote to Pei Rongxuan, he was puzzled at the same time—if Pei Rongbai really gave the palace examination questions to Yin Qianzhan, would he have committed the crime of fraud and would implicate the nine clans??

When it was time to have lunch, Qiao Songyu was about to eat lunch when Xiaoman came in panting. He hurriedly got up to meet him, and asked with bright eyes: "How? What's the result? Did my second brother pass the exam?"

Xiaoman waved his hands out of breath.

"What? Didn't pass the exam? Can't you?!" Qiao Songyu felt like a bucket of cold water.

"No, it's not that I didn't pass the exam..."

"Then tell me!" Qiao Songyu grabbed his shoulders, "Don't talk and pant!"

Xiaoman swallowed quickly, and said: "It's like this. After the exam, the results were supposed to be announced in person, but His Majesty suddenly fell ill, so the announcement was postponed."

Qiao Songyu let out a long sigh of relief: "That's it."

However, have never heard of any sudden illness of the emperor. Why did he suddenly have a sudden illness at such a juncture?

"And more!" Xiaoman said again, "Last night, Qiao's house was burglarized!"

"What? The Qiao family was stolen?" Qiao Songyu asked incredulously, "But the Qiao family has so many guards, and the guards are tight... Did it hurt anyone? Are my parents okay?"

Xiaoman said: "Master and Mrs. are fine, no one was hurt, but the study room of Eldest Young Master and Master has been turned into a mess."

"This must be looking for that account book..." Qiao Songyu murmured, "The other party must be King Jing or King Guangling or someone from the Xie family.The guards of Kaiqiao's house must be from King Jing or King Guangling..."

Moreover, the other party must have been disappointed to start from Pei Rongbai, that's why he started to steal by himself.

"Young master?"

"It's okay." Qiao Songyu waved his hand."Go and rest first."

"yes."

After a while, Pei Rongbai sent someone back, saying that the palace was in chaos, he had to deal with various affairs in the palace, he couldn't come back for lunch today, and told Qiao Songyu not to wait for him.

Qiao Songyu didn't care whether he came back for lunch or not, he wanted to know what happened, and now he was full of doubts.

He always felt that Pei Rongbai was indeed not as simple as the treacherous minister rumored by the outside world, this person was too complicated, he must have many things hidden from him.The relationship between him and the emperor and King Jing is not as clear as it appears on the surface. This court, this capital city, is like a big river. The surface of the river is as calm as a mirror, but the undercurrent is raging.

Originally, the Qiao family could stay far away, even if I married Pei Rongbai, nothing would happen, but for some reason, his elder brother wanted to get the account book of the Xie family, and the entire Qiao family was sucked into this vortex.

But what he didn't understand was why his elder brother got this account book, and how did the news about him getting the account book get to Xie's family and King Jing?It's understandable that Pei Rongbai has eyeliner in his house, but is it possible that Xie's family and King Jing also have eyeliner in his house?Is this unreasonable?

in the palace.In the emperor's bedroom.

"You all go down, I have something to talk to Your Majesty." Pei Rongbai said to the waiter who was waiting on the side.

"yes."

As soon as the servant stepped back, the emperor who was still very weak and dying suddenly sat up from the bed. Pei Rongbai was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and joked:

"Your Majesty, this is 'sitting up in shock in a dying illness'."

"Mister also said that the situation was urgent just now, so I had to pretend to be sick on purpose." After all the test papers for the palace examination were collected, several examiners selected the top six, and brought the top six essays to Mu.Qian Yin hand-picked the top three.But Mu Qianyin didn't find someone who wrote articles very fast just now. Now when he reads the articles, he can't find any particularly good ones, and he can hardly tell the difference. This means that he wanted to rely on the articles to write well before.The idea of distinguishing who was Yin Qianzhan who provided the test questions fell through. He suddenly lost his mind and had to pretend to be sick. Pei Rongbai was also smart, and immediately understood what he meant, and announced the postponement of the announcement of the results.

"What should we do next?" Mu Qianyin looked at Pei Rongbai with some embarrassment.

Pei Rongbai smiled helplessly: "Then we can only sacrifice the officials." The papers were all copied by someone, and the names were unknown, so now he had to go and read the papers, and then give the ranking according to the person.

Mu Qianyin also regretted his previous decision a bit, but it was too late to regret now, so he said: "Then it has to be like this."

"Then Your Majesty, please continue to pretend to be sick, and I'll go and have a look." After all, Pei Rongbai's reputation is well known, even if people found out that he was secretly reading the names of the test papers, no one would dare to speak nonsense.

"Okay, then trouble sir."

Pei Rongbai waved his hands, turned around and went out. As soon as he went out, he saw Jiang Shang coming up to him, with an anxious expression on his face, and said in a low voice:

"Master, the mansion came to report that my wife was robbed on the road when she was out!"

"what?!"
