Long Live the Empress

Chapter 316 Impeccable

After the second prince was taken away, the old emperor announced the appointment of Wei Zilin as the chief inspector, and the spring examination would be reopened three days later. The old emperor also took out all the ill-gotten gains of the second prince to cover all the expenses of the students in Beijing for the examination, as a token of his grace! The top three and second place were also not counted, and they had to take the examination again.

This move shocked the entire Wei State. The students who had failed the exam knelt down in the direction of the imperial palace, shouting, "The emperor is wise and holy, long live the emperor!"

When a few students who were usually close to Kong Linan came to tell him about it, Kong Linan was so shocked that he broke the broken teacup in his hand...

Although Yue Jinghao is a noble lady in the capital, it is not surprising that she knows some royal secrets, but what is surprising is that she can predict the future...

This is thought-provoking...

Kong Linan thought about it over and over but couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. No matter what Yue Jinghao's identity was or what her methods were, he knew that Yue Jinghao was a good person and had done him a favor, which was enough!

Today, there is one most lively place, that is Zhuangyuan Building!

Those customers were waiting in the store, and once the imperial edict came down, they would immediately exchange their money for silver!

This is the psychology of gamblers. At first, they are tempted by the high returns and place bets! After placing bets, the process of waiting for the results makes them anxious, nervous and exciting! In the end, the mystery is revealed, some people are happy and some are sad, some become rich overnight, and some become poor!

This time was an exception! Most of them had bet on the top two places, and were waiting for the shopkeeper to count and exchange the silver when they heard the bad news that this spring's exam would not count!

Zhuangyuanlou also issued a notice: Before the imperial edict comes down, those who want to place bets can continue to place bets, those who want to change can change them at will, and those who want to quit can quit at any time!

The guests had already won once, so why would they quit so easily? Not only did they not quit, they even increased their stakes!

Each of them is as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, sitting in the Zhuangyuan Building every day waiting for the imperial edict to be announced!

When Concubine Shu heard the palace maid report that the Second Prince was under house arrest by the Emperor, she fainted on the spot!

After waking up, she ignored the objections of her personal nanny, took off the hairpin on her head, removed her gorgeous clothes, and knelt in front of the imperial study to beg the old emperor for mercy.

At night, the weather was not good and it suddenly rained heavily. Concubine Shu still knelt there stubbornly, but how could she stand it since she was spoiled since she was a child? She fainted in less than a quarter of an hour.

The old emperor just sighed, had her carried back to her bedroom, sent an imperial physician to treat her, and then stopped asking questions.

The next day, Fan Changyue went to the palace to visit her. After just a few days of not seeing her, his beautiful daughter had become like a zombie lying on the couch, lifeless.

"Father, the Emperor is going to ruin my son! Which emperor in history didn't have a good reputation? Is my son rejected by him?"

Isn't Fan Changyue also heartbroken? Twenty years of planning, destroyed in one day!

But looking at the lifeless Concubine Shu, Fan Changyue said: "Don't be discouraged, your majesty. The fact that the emperor has not imposed a more severe punishment proves that the emperor still values ​​the second prince. If it were someone else, he would have been stripped of his prince status and demoted to a commoner! Your majesty, please relax!"

Concubine Shu nodded, and her originally empty eyes also showed some expectation, "Father, do you think the emperor can still come out? He is my life! Hua'er is useless, if the emperor..."

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words!" Fan Changyue looked around and waved his hand to let the palace maids leave. Only the father and daughter were left in the room.

"Your Majesty, Hua'er's fate is a foregone conclusion. Don't mention it again! You must remember that the Second Prince is your only son, the future emperor!"

Concubine Shu bit her lip and said with some worry: "But after all, she and the prince are...if something happens..."

"There is no possibility of any eventuality. I have already made arrangements when she entered the Crown Prince's Mansion!"

When Fan Ronghua entered the Prince's Mansion, Fan Changyue took control of her personal maid's brother and ordered the maid to burn contraceptive incense on Fan Ronghua every day. The incense was so strong that after using it for a month, the woman would no longer be able to have children!

"Hua'er has suffered so much!" Concubine Shu shed two tears, her tone full of heartache for Fan Ronghua.

"I have ordered someone to secretly send her some money, so don't worry, madam!"

Shu Fei had just wiped away her tears. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and said with a fierce look on her face: "That Yan Liyuan deserves to die! How dare a eunuch meddle in the affairs of his master? He doesn't even know who he is! Father, I want him dead!"

This put Fan Changyue in a difficult situation. Yan Liyuan not only had a large army under his command, but the emperor also trusted him! That trust even exceeded that of all the princes!

Without waiting for Fan Changyue's answer, Concubine Shu sneered, "Father, are you afraid? As long as he is alive, the prince will never be able to ascend to a high position! If he didn't kill the prince today, what about next time? Father, are you going to wait until he kills us all before you take action?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but the Nine Thousand Years Mansion is as strong as a copper wall and an iron wall. Over the past ten years, I have only planted one person in the Nine Thousand Years Mansion!"

Concubine Shu also knew that it was not easy to place spies, and she would never use them unless it was absolutely necessary! It seemed that she had to find another way.

"However, according to reports from our informants, Princess Jing'an often appears in Qiansui Mansion. I think they have a special relationship..." Fan Changyue said.

"Yue Jinghao?" Concubine Shu frowned and asked, "What kind of relationship can a girl like her have with a eunuch? Did father hear wrongly?"

Fan Changyue told the story of Yan Liyuan going to Yue Mansion and breaking Aunt Su's legs, and that it was Yan Liyuan who recommended Yue Jinghao to the old emperor, which is why Yue Jinghao became the county lord... Combined with the information from his spies, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the two of them had something to hide.

"Since we are invincible against Yan Liyuan, let's start with Yue Jinghao!" Concubine Shu's face showed murderous intent, and she wished she could cut Yue Jinghao into pieces right now. "Father, you must make good use of the Su family!"

Fan Changyue stroked his beard and smiled sinisterly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will arrange it right away!"

Chitose Prefecture

Wang Yi reported what happened in Zhuangyuan Building to Yan Liyuan and Yue Jinghao, and rubbed his hands together excitedly: "Master, we can earn back the Black Armor Army's five-year military pay just this time! Miss Yue is amazing!"

Yan Liyuan looked at Yue Jinghao calmly. As smart as she was, she would be able to calculate how many Black Armored Soldiers he had just from this income. Everything about the Black Armored Soldiers was top secret, how could it be known by others?

Yue Jinghao smiled, lowered her head, and drank a sip of tea as if nothing had happened. "That's nothing. I'll take you to do something bigger next time!"

Wang Yi's eyes widened. He made at least more than one million taels this time. Miss Yue actually said that this was nothing?

He glanced at Yan Liyuan, and seeing that his master didn't say anything, he walked over to Yue Jinghao and added some water to Yue Jinghao's teacup, "Then I'll be waiting!"

"Little thing, sometimes being too smart is not a good thing!" Yan Liyuan looked at Wang Yi and said quietly.

Wang Yi shrank back when Yan Liyuan looked at him, and subconsciously moved a distance away from Yue Jing.

"What else does your servant know: the more you know, the faster you die! Your servant has things she wants to do, Your Highness, don't worry!" Yue Jinghao spoke softly, but Yan Liyuan still caught the hatred in her eyes.
