Chapter 1396 701 Ambition

"Damn it!" Han Lingfu gritted his teeth.

He never thought that such an accident would happen, this Huang Hetai is not a scumbag, but a champion!

His world-shattering talent had been witnessed by the people of the capital on the day of the parade, and as a result, the rumors of fraud that had spread like a raging fire before were completely suppressed. It may not take a few days for the matter to develop so far. Qin will be released.

It took so much effort to set up such a game, but it was a chess loss, and the victory was close to success!

He is really not reconciled!

There was another "dong" sound, this time, it was Han Lingfu's fist that slammed the desk hard, and the severe pain hit...

After a while, Han Lingfu took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, and began to calm down.

Up to now, no matter how upset you are, it will not help, you have to think about whether there is any remedy.

Should I sacrifice some people and get rid of the "selling issue"?

Once the person who sells the question "recruits" Nangong Qin out, then Nangong Qin, as the "master behind the scenes", will naturally be speechless and convince himself of the crime of selling the question!

But……

Han Lingfu clenched his bruised fist, hesitant.

At the beginning, when the rumor of fraud broke out in the capital, he saw that the students were making a fuss, and he didn't need him to add fuel. Because he understands in his heart that the more he does, the more traces he will leave behind. If he is not good, not only will he sacrifice himself, but he will also risk being found by others.

Therefore, unless it is a last resort, he is really unwilling to take this risky move!

Or, he went to the second emperor to discuss it?

Han Lingfu frowned and thought, obviously he could have killed the Nangong family without a fight, but now he has to kill a thousand enemies and injure eight hundred himself, which is really unwilling!

The more Han Lingfu thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the heartbeat in his chest suddenly accelerated by two beats.

Boom!

He caressed his chest uncomfortably, only feeling dry and irritable, so he reached for the tea cup, but when he raised his hand, he found that his hand was trembling uncontrollably, just like the branches and leaves that kept shaking in the wind and rain.

His face was extremely ugly, his eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and he tried to stabilize his hands, holding the tea cup in both hands...

The tea in the teacup swayed slightly along with his trembling hands, and the ripples made Han Lingfu's heart chaotic. He picked up the teacup and put it back on the table.

Han Lingfu's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip out of water, and he wanted to sweep away everything on the case when his arms were horizontal... But at this moment, Xiao Lizi suddenly came into the room, and said with a subtle expression: "My lord, Bai The side concubine has brought 'soup'."

At this time, the last person Han Lingfu wanted to see was Bai Muxiao. His thin lips moved slightly, wanting Xiao Lizi to drive her away, but when he thought of "soup", he still didn't say anything...

In the next instant, there was a sound of picking the curtains, and a graceful figure appeared in his field of vision. Bai Muxiao walked slowly with her food box in hand.

She was wearing a moon-white dark-patterned dress, with a white jade hairpin wrapped around a loose figure. Although the dress was simple, it was difficult to conceal the beauty and gracefulness between her brows.

Just looking at her, Han Lingfu felt annoyed in his heart. He was wrong. There is nothing in this world that can come out of the mud without being stained. Crawling out of the dirty mud can never wash away the filth on the body, just like—

she!

How could Bai Muxiao not see the disgust in Han Lingfu's eyes, but now she doesn't care what he thinks for a long time, she said with a smile, "My lord, it's time to drink 'soup'."

Han Lingfu stared at the food box in Bai Muxiao's hand, clenching his fists unconsciously.

Wuhe paste, of course he doesn't want to take it anymore, but...

He was restless all over again, his heart was beating wildly, and a burst of sweat began to appear on his forehead...

Bai Muxiao looked at his hesitant expression, smiled sarcastically, and said to herself: He is still like this, always indecisive, so it's no wonder he hasn't been able to achieve great things, or she's here to help him.

Bai Muxiao walked lightly to the desk, opened the food box, took out a soup and brought it to Han Lingfu, and said seductively, "Your Highness, you've worked hard, drink some hot soup to refresh your mind."

As she said that, she also helped him to open the lid of the soup gu, and the steaming aroma penetrated into Han Lingfu's nose. His original hesitation disappeared in an instant, and his eyes stared at him like a demon. He ate the bowl of soup, then picked up the spoon beside him, and almost couldn't wait to drink it... At this moment, he was so thirsty that he had long forgotten Bai Muxiao who was standing beside him.

Bai Muxiao looked at him coldly, watching him surrender to the magic of Wuhe paste like a dog, watching him show a fluttering expression, watching him gradually lose himself...

She smiled, the corner of her mouth drew a mocking arc, and she felt very happy.

Han Lingfu, you have today too!

"Your Highness," she asked seemingly casually, "What's the result of the palace test?" Of course Bai Muxiao didn't specifically bring soup to Han Lingfu, she came to inquire about the results of the palace test.

Bai Muxiao was in the inner house and knew very little about what happened outside. After the announcement yesterday, Han Lingfu didn't go to her yard, so when she heard that he had come back today, she couldn't wait to come.

Hearing this, Han Lingfu's hand holding the spoon paused, and his whole body trembled, as if he had suddenly woken up from a sweet dream, his face darkened.

As soon as Bai Muxiao entered the study, she saw that Han Lingfu's expression was not good. In fact, she had already vaguely guessed it in her heart, and it was only confirmed at this moment. Sure enough, things were messed up!

She snorted disdainfully and scolded mercilessly: "You are really useless, you can't handle such a trivial matter!"

How dare this bitch dare to humiliate himself like this! Han Lingfu's pupils shrank sharply, hatred in his heart, he really wanted to slap him in the face, but he had to endure it.

"You..." You don't want to deceive people too much!

At this moment, a little maid came in timidly and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Bai, the three concubines are here." The three concubines in the maid's mouth naturally meant Baiyue Prince Kui Lang.

A flash of joy flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes, and he said coldly, "Concubine Bai, I have guests here, you can go back."

Bai Muxiao didn't move, she looked at him with a smile, the smile in her eyes was about to overflow, and she whispered, "So the lord made an appointment with His Highness Kui Lang." With a look of contempt, "My lord, have you never thought about why I have Wuhe ointment on my hand?"

Could it be that... the blood on Han Lingfu's face faded instantly, he naturally thought about this, but he didn't dare to think about it. In the bottom of his heart, Bai Muxiao used other means to get the Five Harmony Paste...

But hearing Bai Muxiao say this now, he couldn't help feeling chills all over his body.

It turned out that the Wuhe paste in Bai Muxiao's hands came from Kuilang!

"Bai Muxiao, you bitch, how dare you betray this king and secretly collude with Kui Lang!" Han Lingfu said angrily.

The more he thought about it, the more his heart palpitated. Bai Muxiao usually lives in the inner house, but she is only a side concubine. She is stared at by a pair of eyes in the palace.

And how did she collude with Kui Lang? !

The answer is obvious.

There must be someone secretly matching the bridge.

As for the middleman, don't even think about it, it must be a dress!

None of the three women in his backyard are kind-

Bai Muxiao and Li Yi colluded with each other, and secretly put Wuhe paste on themselves. The dead Cui Yanyan secretly gave Bai Muxiao medicine before her death, causing his child to become a monster...

This incident flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, and he suddenly realized it.

He did all kinds of calculations, guarding against the east and the west, thinking about the future, but he didn't expect that the three women in his backyard would betray him one by one!

Han Lingfu's heart sank little by little, as if he had fallen into an abyss. Over the years, he has encountered many setbacks, but he always felt that "the heaven will give great responsibility to the people, and he must first work hard on his will and work his muscles and bones." , so he persisted again and again, believing that these were just some small setbacks on his way to the supreme position, and it was all worth it.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but doubt himself...

He thought that Bai Muxiao, who loved him deeply, hated him because of love and hatred, and wished him to die!

He thought that the kind and generous Zhengfei Cui Yanyan was jealous and vicious, and even an unborn child was not spared!

He used to be the confidante's clothes, but he was secretly scheming, playing tricks on him, and pretending to be true...

Thinking of this, Han Lingfu clenched his fists. There is an old saying: "The most poisonous woman's heart." Women really can't be trusted. Once they can't get what they want from themselves, they will turn their faces ruthlessly!

Just as Han Lingfu's heart was surging with anger, a man in an indigo brocade robe strode into the study under the guidance of a little maid, and then casually sat down opposite Han Lingfu.

It is the Baiyue Prince Kuilang!

Bai Muxiao waved his hand, and all the servants in the study withdrew, leaving only the three of them.

The room was quiet for a moment, deadly still, and the air was full of murderous intent.

Han Lingfu stared at Kui Lang in front of him, if his eyes could kill, Kui Lang would have been slashed by a thousand swords.

I knew for a long time that Kui Lang was a fierce tiger who was unwilling to be trapped in a cage, and knew to guard against Kui Lang, but he didn't expect that the other party would find a space in his back house...

"Kui Lang," Han Lingfu gritted his teeth and asked angrily at Kui Lang, "This king and you are already allies, why do you still do this?!"

Why secretly poison him? !

Compared to Han Lingfu's excitement, Kui Lang was leisurely and comforting Han Lingfu with a smile: "Brother Sanji, don't worry, I only need Baiyue, as for Dayu, it's still yours, brother Sanji, we each take what we need!"

"Everyone gets what they need?!" Han Lingfu laughed mockingly, "What about Wuhe Paste?!"

The smile in Kui Lang's eyes deepened, and he said, "Brother Third Uncle must have misunderstood Wuhe Gao. Don't Brother Third Uncle feel comfortable recently?"

Han Lingfu's face was even colder, disapproving.

Kui Lang sneered and said again: "Uncle Third Brother, I also have good intentions. I was thinking that after Third Uncle Brother ascends to Dabao in the future, if the government affairs are busy, then I can also help one or two."

The other party was thinking... Han Lingfu's eyes widened, and he immediately understood Kui Lang's intention, his whole body seemed to be soaked in a bucket of ice water, freezing to the bone.

Kui Lang wanted himself to be his puppet and manipulate Dayu.

Also, with Baiyue's strength, if you want to win his Dayu, it's just a fool's dream. First of all, Kui Lang will not be able to pass the test of Zhennan Wang and his son, but if he gets Dabao, it will be different. With the well-deserved Emperor Dayu, then Kui Lang can do whatever he wants to Dayu with his own hands...

Before he knew it, Han Lingfu's back was wet with sweat.

Looking at Han Lingfu's cloudy face, Kui Lang's eyes flashed with coldness. He took out a small porcelain jar from his sleeve, and opened it in front of Han Lingfu and Bai Muxiao, revealing the brown Paste, the familiar fragrance wafts out of it...

Han Lingfu stared hungrily at the jar of Wuhe Cream, as if a lost traveler in the desert finally saw a lush oasis, like a sudden nectar from the long drought.

Kui Lang was not in a hurry, just sat where he was, with a hearty smile on his chest.

After a long while, Han Lingfu raised his hand tremblingly, and slowly... with difficulty, he stretched out his hand. From beginning to end, his hand trembled uncontrollably until the moment he held the porcelain jar.

His hand eagerly took the jar back, but his heart fell into a bottomless hell in an instant.

This is just a small action, but it represents his surrender to Kui Lang.

From then on, he can no longer escape Kui Lang's control, and so does Dayu...

In the study, Kui Lang and Bai Muxiao exchanged smug glances, smug and contented, but Han Lingfu's heart was ashes, and the whole person suddenly realized...

It wasn't until half an hour later that Kui Lang left, and only Han Lingfu and Bai Muxiao were left in the study. Han Lingfu finally couldn't hold back the doubts and unwillingness in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Why? Why would you rather help Kui Lang? To betray the king?"

Bai Muxiao smiled, with a hint of pity and a hint of self-satisfaction in her smile, and said slowly and meaningfully: "My lord, His Highness Kui Lang will return to Baiyue after all, he always wants to stay in the capital alone to help the lord, Does the lord say yes or no?"

Not only did Kui Lang want to go back to Baiyue, but he also wanted to return to Baiyue, so for Kui Lang, the best person to stay to monitor Han Lingfu was her Bai Muxiao!

this woman! Han Lingfu's chest tightened, and he almost didn't catch his breath. Once again, he deeply realized that he had never known this woman at all.

Her ambition has inflated to this point, she clearly wants to be the empress of Taiyu, this woman she... how dare she give birth to such a delusion? !

Is she crazy? !

"Snapped--"

A crisp slap echoed in the study, and it was extraordinarily loud. There was a bright red slap print on Bai Muxiao's fair face, and even her hair was messed up by the slap.

But Bai Muxiao didn't get angry but laughed instead, showing a condescending arrogance, seeing Han Lingfu raised his right hand again, and wanted to throw it down again...

"My lord, you have to think about it!" Bai Muxiao deliberately moved the other side of her face closer, "I don't know if the jar of Wuhe paste you have will be enough for you to eat for a few days...two days? Three days?"

Han Lingfu's face sank like water, and he said coldly, "Bai Muxiao, do you think Kui Lang will turn his back on you and this king?"

Bai Muxiao smiled, tilted her head and said, "Your Highness, you can try, I am Tiles, you are porcelain, and porcelain does not compete with Tiles. You have been planning for so long, and you are willing to give up your grand cause. Give up this ten thousand miles of land?"

Han Lingfu's hand froze in midair for a moment, and finally let it go...

The next moment, another "pop" sounded in the study.

This time, there was a slap print on Han Lingfu's face, Jun Yi's face was slapped to one side, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Bai Muxiao said, "This is yours."

"You...you bitch!" Han Lingfu said in a trembling voice, grasping and releasing, releasing and shaking.

If he dared to fight with her, she would still look at him highly, but unfortunately, this man cherishes his life and loves power. Bai Muxiao sneered and reminded in an almost commanding tone: "Your Highness should think about how to end the fraud. If Your Highness does not take action, Nangong Qin will definitely be released by His Highness. Then, Your Highness will be in vain. It's gone!"

After she finished speaking, she ignored Han Lingfu and flung her sleeves away, leaving Han Lingfu staring blankly at her slender back, as tight as a leopard staring at its prey.

Either Bai Muxiao or Nangong Mansion...

I'm sorry for Han Lingfu's people, he won't let any of them go!

Han Lingfu swears to the sky secretly in his heart, at this moment, the outside is cloudless, the sun is shining brightly, and it seems to be a little hotter than the previous days.

This is still the case in the capital, and even more so in Nanliang, which is thousands of miles away.

However, those ordinary Nanliang people have long been accustomed to this kind of hot weather, and they can do whatever they need to do under the sun.

In contrast, the summer conditions in the Nanliang Palace are naturally much better. There is a water pavilion built against the water, and there is a Qingzhuo Palace with water curtains on three sides.

This Qingzhuo Temple was really thoughtful. It avoided direct sunlight and was built across the river. At the back of the temple, there was a waterwheel that continuously led the river water to the eaves, and the water flowed down the eaves to form water on three sides. Curtains, hanging waves like waterfalls, naturally have the effect of cooling.

clap la la...

Amidst the continuous sound of falling water, eagles croaked from time to time, and two eagles, one gray and one white, spun around the water curtain curiously, while looking at Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai, who were drinking tea and talking inside.

clap la la...

The sound of Xiao Yi pouring tea for Guan Yubai was completely engulfed by the sound of falling water.

Guan Yubai nodded, then picked up the teacup, and said with a smile: "With Huang and Taizhuyu in front, it would be ridiculous to talk about fraud."

Originally, Guan Yubai arranged for Huang Hetai to attend this Enke, in order to place another person in the court in case of emergency.

When he suggested that Nangong Qinshang Zhezi asked to change the questions on the Chunwei test, Guan Yubai expected two results. One was that the emperor agreed, then everything was easy to handle. The second is that the emperor does not agree, so Nangong Qin's actions like this will inevitably provoke the unhappiness of Shunjun and Gongjun, and even get rid of them quickly, and this time Enke is the best time for them to get rid of the Nangong family.

Since then, Guan Yubai has been quietly deployed.

Sure enough, not long after the Spring Festival, there was a rumor of fraud.

Guan Yubai, who was far away in Nanliang, could not confirm whether the two princes had leaked the question, and how many people had leaked the question. One by one, it was proved that it took too much time.

So, he simply didn't care about these things, but after the fraud broke out, he ordered someone to secretly "help" the two county kings to fuel the flames, and at an appropriate time, let Nangong Qin suggest that the emperor hold a palace test.

After that, he even made people direct all public opinion to Huang Hetai, making people question his talent and learning, making people dissatisfied with his arrogance, and letting everyone in the capital know his "deeds"... The two princes behind the scenes underestimated Huang Hetai.

At that time, no one will care about whether other people in Kenke are really talented or not, and everyone's eyes will be on Huang Hetai.

In this way, as long as Huang Hetai is a blockbuster in the palace exam and beats the heroes, then the fraud will naturally be suppressed.

Guan Yubai took a sip of tea, and a light and confident smile formed on the corner of his mouth, and said: "However, Ayi, I am afraid that I will have to give in to Lord Nangong for a while. I believe that the two county kings have passed through this matter, definitely not. They will give up and rest. Next, they are afraid that they would rather sacrifice some people and 'testify' that Lord Nangong sold the exam questions..."

"Failure is also spring, success is spring!" Xiao Yi played with the small and interesting Nanliang tea cup in his hand, shook his head and said, "This matter is not over yet."

Guan Yubai's gaze passed over Xiao Yi, and looked at the water curtain that kept rushing down behind him. The water curtain shimmered with a crystal sheen in the sun, and the sound of falling water was intense, which formed a sharp contrast with the leisurely, rush and slow down in the hall. .

Accompanied by the sound of water, Guan Yubai said slowly, "Ayi, let's just wait and see what happens."
