The soft-waisted princess was pinched and pampered by the ascetic prince after her rebirth

Chapter 560 1 Must find Beixiu Yan

The midnight watch has sounded three times, but Changle Palace is still brightly lit. Lu Huaining is leaning on the desk with his head propped up in one hand and flipping through the files with the other.

The imperial examinations are all in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and they have always been responsible for keeping the test questions. If the questions are leaked before the exam starts, it must be an official from the Ministry of Rites, and the official's level must not be lower.

And those who can find a way to spend a lot of money to buy exam questions are either rich or noble.

In fact, the case is not difficult to investigate, but what happens after it is discovered?

Lu Huaining frowned and sighed. He had just returned to the court. Although there were people left behind by his master to work for him, most of the officials in the court were still unfamiliar to him. He had planned to slowly build up connections and cultivate his own power, but he was caught off guard before he even started.

If he offends everyone this time, there will be no place for him in the government in the future. When Xiao Chenyan wants to deal with him, it will be easier than squeezing an ant to death.

Unconsciously, it was already dawn, but Lu Huaining still didn't have a clue. The whole person was slumped on the desk, and his eyes had lost focus.

After a while, Hong Xi walked in carelessly. Seeing no outsiders, he didn't bother to salute. He lay down on the soft couch, hugged a plate of grapes on the low table and started eating.

Lu Huaining glanced at him with a resentful look and said dissatisfied: "I'm almost dying of worry, but you can eat it."

"Aren't all those who have won the election been arrested? After a trial, whoever has problems can just have his head chopped off. There is nothing to worry about." In Hong Xi's view, this matter is actually very simple. There are boundaries between right and wrong, black and white. .

Hearing this, Lu Huaining rolled his eyes and flew over, "Most of the people who passed the exam are the children of officials, and most of them participated in buying questions. If I deal with them all, then I will offend most of the people in the court." ”

Hong Xi still stuffed a handful of grapes into his mouth with a big heart, and said vaguely, "So what if they offend me, they should be punished if they did something wrong."

Lu Huaining was speechless for a moment. Hong Xi didn't understand the affairs of the court at all. Telling him this was like playing the piano to an ox.

Hong Xi noticed Lu Huaining's disdainful look, threw a grape and hit him on the head, raised his eyebrows and said, "I am a guard, and I am here to protect you. Planning matters are not my responsibility."

"I don't dare to count on you." Lu Huaining snorted coldly and stood up with his hands on the desk.

After a busy night, his mind was dizzy and he wanted to go for a walk in the yard.

As soon as he took a step forward, he saw Xiao Ruohan coming over with a food box.

"Sister Xiao, you are here." Lu Huaining looked happy. He had not seen Xiao Ruohan for a few days since he moved to the palace.

Xiao Ruohan smiled at him and nodded, and asked in a sweet voice, "Where is Hong Xi?"

Why do you look for Hong Xi as soon as you come here, and forget your friends when you see sex? Lu Huaining couldn't help but curse.

In the hall, Hong Xi heard his sweetheart's voice and flew out with a quick step. He held the beauty's waist and asked her to sit in the room, "Come in quickly, it's windy outside."

Lu Huaining watched the two of them flirting and flirting, and felt goosebumps all over his body, numb and itchy.

He couldn't help but interrupt: "Sister Xiao, what's the matter with you coming?"

"I have nothing to do." Xiao Ruohan replied to Lu Huaining, but his eyes were always on Hong Xi, never leaving him.

"Did the beautiful sister ask you to bring me anything?" Lu Huaining felt that if such a big thing happened, the beautiful sister would definitely help him.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ruohan still shook his head, "No."

Probably because he was afraid that he would ask again, Xiao Ruohan directly explained his purpose of coming, "I was just afraid that Hong Xi wouldn't be used to the food in the palace, so I specially made snacks and sent them over."

After hearing this, Lu Huaining felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. His master could not be contacted, and his two sisters ignored him.

I haven't become emperor yet, so why am I alone?

"Really? What a good thing, let me take a look." Hong Xi happily opened the food box, took out a plate of snacks, and said movedly: "My Ruohan still knows how to care about people. If you get a wife like this, what will happen to your husband?" beg."

Lu Huaining said nothing, but Hong Xi still felt that he was an eyesore and asked him, "Didn't you just say you wanted to go for a walk in the garden? Why are you still here?"

"I'm leaving now." Lu Huaining angrily left the hall with his hands behind his back.

In the imperial mausoleum on the outskirts of Beijing, Xiao Chenyan was still wearing plain clothes. Jun Wujiang reported the news from Beijing one by one.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have contacted all the officials involved in the scientific examination fraud case privately according to your instructions. They all said that as long as Your Highness helps them to get through this crisis safely, they will definitely follow Your Highness's leadership in the future."

"Very good." Xiao Chenyan nodded with satisfaction, then changed the subject and asked about Lu Huaining's situation, "Has he made any moves recently?"

"I just followed the rules and read the case files and interrogated the prisoners. I didn't do anything else." Jun Wu had already arranged an informant in the palace and knew Lu Huaining's every move.

Xiao Chenyan was actually not worried about Lu Huaining. A mere twelve-year-old boy was not his opponent yet. What he was really worried about was Beixiu Yan behind him.

It's just that Lu Huaining didn't show up at the Beixiu Banquet, so Lu Huaining wasn't afraid at all.

"Send more people and we must find out the whereabouts of Beixiu Yan." Xiao Chenyan ordered Jun Wu.

It has entered autumn, and there is a bit of coolness in the wind.

He stood in front of his ancestor's tomb, looked up at the geese flying south in the distance, and remained silent for a long time.

If everything goes well and the scientific examination fraud case is over, he can go back.

By then, those thousands of miles of land will be within his grasp.
