Chapter 139 An Interlude

After finishing dinner, Gu Hengyu bid farewell to the emperor, and went to the study as he wished.

The surrounding big trees have lush branches and leaves, because autumn is approaching, and some leaves have fallen.

Before Gu Hengyu reached the door of the upper study, he heard a voice from inside, is there anyone?

Gu Hengyu retreated to the window, leaning sideways to listen to the movement inside.

Only the sound of tables moving was heard.

Who is this aimed at?

Thinking about the layout I saw when I came to the study last time, if this person moved the table, his back should be facing him.

Gu Hengyu stood outside the window silently, and glanced in.

With just one glance, he recognized that this was one of his juniors, Zhang Mingxi, the eldest son of the British government.

"What are you doing?" Gu Hengyu seemed to ask casually.

But the sudden sound made Zhang Mingxi jump.

Zhang Mingxi thought it was a guard in the palace, thinking that he could have money to send him away.

But the moment he turned around and saw Gu Hengyu, Zhang Mingxi froze there.

"I...I..." Zhang Mingxi pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a complete sentence.

Gu Hengyu walked in and stood in front of the table that Zhang Mingxi moved, because he was interrupted by himself only halfway through, and the two changed tables were placed crookedly.

Gu Hengyu looked down at the name written on it, it was Xie Han.

There is no doubt that the other one must be Zhang Mingxi himself.

Because to prevent which student the teacher who examines the papers is facing, the desks in the examination room are strictly arranged according to the number.

There is no name of each person on the test paper, and the name is posted on the seat just to help candidates find a seat.

Zhang Mingxi changed Xie Han's position and his position in this way, which undoubtedly adjusted the test papers of the two.

In this way, Xie Han's grades are his grades.

Gu Hengyu tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "What? I feel that I am not as good as Xie Han, and want to steal his grades?"

What he said didn't save Zhang Mingxi any face, but it also made him unable to refute.

"Master Gu, I..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Gu Hengyu waved his hand and said, "Stop, don't explain to me, think about how to explain to others tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Mingxi raised his head in disbelief.

He is the eldest son of the British government, Gu Hengyu should give his father some face no matter what, does he really want to arrest himself?

impossible.

But just when the idea that Zhang Mingxi denied came out, Gu Hengyu walked towards him and said, "Let's go, before the emperor rests."

Is this to take him to the emperor to plead guilty?

Zhang Mingxi took a step back, with horror on his face, and asked, "Master Gu, you and I have no grievances, why are you doing this?"

Hearing this sentence, Gu Hengyu raised his eyebrows as if he heard some joke, "Is it my fault? Didn't you do this sneaky thing?"

If he hadn't seen it, Xie Han might have lost the chance to become an official in the court this time.

Zhang Mingxi wanted to say something more, but before he could open his mouth, he was picked up by Gu Hengyu who found it troublesome and walked towards the emperor's palace.

Zhang Mingxi wanted to resist, but found that facing Gu Hengyu, he was powerless to resist.

The emperor looked at Gu Hengyu who left and came back, and there was a familiar young man beside him, with doubts on his face.

"This is?" the emperor asked, not knowing what Gu Hengyu wanted to do.

Gu Hengyu cupped his hands and recounted the incident just now, but changed the upper study room where he went to take care of Xie Han because of his gratitude to Xie Han. Instead, he took a walk to the upper study room after a meal to digest food, and heard something strange inside.

Because he had dinner with the emperor and heard about tomorrow's exam, he was worried that something unexpected would happen, so Zhang Mingxi broke through Zhang Mingxi's stealing behavior.

The emperor always valued the true talents and moral qualities of his subjects, and when he heard this, he was furious and dropped the things in his hands.

"You! You are really lawless and cruel to your classmates!" The emperor pointed at Zhang Ming and said angrily.

Zhang Mingxi knelt on the ground and shivered. Although he knew that his father would definitely save his life, it would be difficult to turn the tables.

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Gu Hengyu took a step forward and said: "The emperor appeases his anger, but this matter is indeed related to the selection of talents for the imperial court. I hope the emperor will handle it carefully. There is still something to do in the court, so..."

The emperor knew what Gu Hengyu meant, and it was really inappropriate for him to get involved, so he waved his hand and said, "Go first, don't tell others about this beforehand."

It is not nice to say that it is about the son of the British prince and the son of the prime minister's mansion.

The emperor knew that even if he got angry again, he would still have to take care of Duke Ying in the end, leaving some leeway for Zhang Mingxi.

"Yes, I will leave." Gu Hengyu agreed and then bowed and left the hall.

When he turned around and left the palace gate, he could still hear the angry voice of the emperor inside.

I don't know how Xie Chen should reward and praise himself after learning about this.

At this time, the thank you that Gu Hengyu was thinking of was talking to Xie Han in the prime minister's mansion.

Xie Han looked helplessly at the nervous sister-in-law who hadn't stopped moving in front of her.

I just went to take the exam in the morning, and the results would be released in the evening, and the results would be announced the next day.

My sister-in-law prepared refreshments and a cloak for herself, fearing that she would be hot or cold.

After preparing these, I was afraid that he would be nervous, so I kept holding him safe.

"Well, I already know about my sister." Xie Han replied after listening to all of Xie Chen's words.

Xie Chen nodded, thinking that it was already this afternoon, so he was ready to leave without delaying Xie Han's rest.

But when I turned around, I suddenly thought of something. What if people fail to wake Xie Han in time tomorrow and miss the exam?
Xie Chen expressed his worries, Xie Han said with a smile: "Don't worry, my sister, I will wake up at some point, it's the same on weekdays."

Aunt Lan also saw Xie Chen busy in front of her this afternoon, and she didn't want her to think about it at night, lest she wouldn't be able to sleep, so she continued, "Yeah, there's me, too. You can call me too."

Xie Chen nodded, but his heart was still not at ease.

After thinking for a while, Xie Chen said, "I'll come early tomorrow morning, one more person will have multiple protections."

After Xie Han and Aunt Lan heard Xie Chen's words, they wanted to decline politely, but seeing the serious expression on Xie Chen's face, they knew it wouldn't make sense, so they dismissed the idea and nodded in agreement.

After Xie Chen got the answer, he told Xie Han to rest well and leave here not to be nervous.

Xie Han looked at the departing sister-in-law and couldn't laugh or cry.

After returning to his yard, Xie Chen lay down on the bed and prepared to sleep after washing up.

Soon, Xie Chen fell asleep following the faint sound of wind from outside.

At first she dreamed about little things, like the house cat crawling on her book again, leaving gray footprints all over.

But soon, the scene changed, she woke up from the dream, it was already noon.

She didn't know if Xie Han was awake, but she walked to Aunt Lan's courtyard, only to find that Xie Han was still in the prime minister's mansion.
