Jiaochu

Chapter 223
On the other side, when the carriage stopped on the corridor outside the Royal Garden, Ye Lingxi was about to fall asleep in a daze. After all, he still had the body of a child and could easily get sleepy.

"Princess, we're here." Hehe reminded him gently. Ye Lingxi rubbed his big confused eyes and let Hehe and Lingdang support him to get out of the carriage and prepare to go down. His eyes were confused and he didn't look carefully to see if there was anyone in front of him. , leaning forward and lying on the other person's back.

She felt like she was being carried on someone's back, and she immediately woke up a little, and then she saw the back of a dark head. She turned around and saw Dong Mo following behind, and then she knew who was carrying her.

"Second brother, I can walk by myself."

"You can ask me a question."

Looking at the black back of his head, Ye Lingxi fell into deep thought and asked her second brother if he wanted to be the emperor. This question had already been asked. How was the relationship between Concubine Xiao and Prime Minister Zhou? It was too direct to ask her second brother whether he had feelings for Prime Minister Zhou. What kind of opinions do you have? This is useful. Should you ask directly or do you want to pave the way? Ask directly. Anyway, I have asked such direct questions as whether I want to be the emperor, and this one is not missing.

"Second brother, do you like Prime Minister Zhou?"

"..., Prime Minister Zhou is a humble man, courteous and virtuous. When the emperor's grandfather was still alive, Prime Minister Zhou was his father's adviser and played an important role in helping his father ascend the throne."

We have known each other for such a long time, Ye Lingxi said in her heart, and thought of another thing. She quietly looked around and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, does your father still have an older brother?"

Ye Lingjue said: "The imperial grandfather has three sons. The father is the youngest. The eldest son is named the King of Goodness, and the second son is named King of Sheng. The grandfather of the Emperor originally planned to appoint the King of Xian as the crown prince, but on the eve of the canonization ceremony, King Xian was assassinated. Unfortunately, the King of Xian was assassinated. After his death, the imperial grandfather was overly grieved and fell ill because of it. Later," at this point, he paused, as if he was considering whether to tell the little girl what he was going to say next.

"What happened next?" Ye Lingxi asked proactively.

Ye Lingjue said: "Later, King Sheng rebelled and forced the palace. My father led the troops to quell the rebellion. The emperor's grandfather was also deeply affected by King Sheng's rebellion. He fell ill again and his health deteriorated. Before the spring of the next year, the canonization ceremony was held to consecrate my father as the emperor. Prince."

Ye Lingxi fell into deep thought again. The words "assassination", "mutiny", "forced into the palace" and "rebellion" kept flashing in her mind. Then she thought about the palace coup in her previous life, the fire in Changle Palace, her eldest brother's life and death unknown, and later the country was destroyed. Her third brother died in the battle, and Yan Fei and Su Shi met such a miserable end. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. A surge of anger rushed up to Tianling Gai, and bit the other person's shoulder, like a vicious dog attacking its prey.

Ye Lingjue didn't say anything. After he let go, he smiled lightly and said, "Lingxi seems to be different from before. Why is it becoming more and more fierce?"

"Who told my second brother not to let me walk?" she said nonchalantly.

"If you accidentally fall into the water again, my father will blame me for not taking good care of you."

"What the second brother says makes sense."

"I'll take you out of the palace to play in two days."

"..., I want to read a book."

"Then I'll take you to Linlang Pavilion. There are many books there."

"..."

……

The next day, Zhao Ce came to the study room, full of energy and glowing face.Then when Master Xu was called on to answer questions, he stood and listened to the class all morning.

During lunch, Hu Yuhan told another interesting story.Zhao Ce didn't come to school for the past two days and was walking his dog on the street out of boredom. As a result, the dog swooped down and frightened Miss Mingyan, the oiran of Zixue Pavilion.Zhao Ce argued that the other party must have brought food with him. Hu Yuhan said with a smile that he must have fallen in love with the girl and wanted to perform a good show of a hero saving the beauty to win her heart. Zhao Ce was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted. , I was just about to rush over and have a fight with someone.

Seeing that Zhao Ce was getting anxious, Hu Yuhan still smiled.Zhao Ce angrily told about yesterday's fight between Hu Qian'er and Luo Jinxiu. Hu Yuhan's face changed in a second, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Jin Yao wanted to help Zhao Ce fight, but was frightened by Hu Yuhan's eyes that were as cold as knives and looked down. vegetable. "It's not that enemies don't get together." Ye Lingxi sighed.

With a puff, Ye Xingye burst into laughter. He didn't know whether he was amused by the word "enemy" or by the little royal sister's sad look like a little adult.

However, this burst of laughter relaxed the atmosphere a lot.

Ye Xingye talked about the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival and said that he would also have a dragon boat fight this year. Hu Yuhan asked him to form a team, and also called Yan Fei, a man with high martial arts. Without waiting for Yan Fei to agree or not, he started looking for the next one. teammates.

When Ye Lingxi heard about the Dragon Boat Festival and dragon boat fighting, she was thinking about another thing.

Two days later, it was time for the selection examination at Tai Hospital.

After school that day, Ye Lingxi went directly to the Tai Hospital and saw Li Gui sitting in the yard in a daze. She coughed lightly. Li Gui didn't respond and continued to daze. She picked up a small stone and threw it over. The coldness on Li Gui's feet startled him. When he saw it was Ye Lingxi, he immediately stood up and trotted over to meet him.

Ye Lingxi asked if the exam was over. Li Gui looked at the sky and replied that there was still about half an hour. He paused and looked hesitant, as if he had something to hide. Then he knelt down with a plop and said, "Please forgive me, princess, save me." Save the slave..."

"What did you do?" Ye Lingxi asked.

"Slave..." Li Gui hesitated again.

"Then I'm going back." Ye Lingxi turned around to leave. Li Gui stretched out his hand to stop him, but was scolded by the bell. He immediately retracted his hand, kowtowed and admitted his mistake, "I was also confused for a moment. I beg the princess to save me."

"Why are you confused? Did you kill someone or set a fire?" Ye Lingxi asked.

Li Gui hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I didn't kill people or set fire, minion... It's because my brother is not up to par. My brother likes gambling. Some time ago, someone came to ask for a debt. He came to me to borrow money, and I was not that kind." Lend him a lot of money. He knew that the slave was working as an errand at the Imperial Hospital, so he asked the slave to..."

"Steal the medicinal materials and sell them." Ye Lingxi said.

Li Gui was stunned for a moment, then nodded shamefully.

"Then how much did you sell it for?" Ye Lingxi asked.

Li Gui replied hesitantly: "It's not much, just... about ten taels of silver."

"If you don't tell the truth, I can't help you." Ye Lingxi turned around and left.

Li Gui hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Damn it, slave. A few days ago, the Tai Hospital received a new batch of medicinal materials, which contained fine Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. I was confused for a moment and took a Ganoderma lucidum to sell. The Ganoderma lucidum was not big."

"How much did it cost?" Ye Lingxi asked bluntly.

Li Gui stammered and replied: "Sold... for one, two hundred taels of silver."
