After the powerful divorced their wives, they welcome the crematorium

Chapter 84
The emperor and the empress dowager looked at Shen Mengqi with different expressions and asked, "Why, Mengqi?"

Shen Mengqi said: "Now the situation in the court is a bit unclear, Meng Qi wants to wait until the court situation improves before withdrawing."

"It's that simple?"

Shen Mengqi's eyes paused, and then she said quietly: "It's that simple."

The emperor said with a smile: "Mengqi, you are right to think so, Tianyuan Kingdom lacks you like this! There is nothing wrong with letting you enter the court, queen mother"

"Cough cough!"

After hearing the empress dowager's dissatisfied cough, the emperor immediately shut up.

"What's so good? Ever since she entered the court, she was injured twice in three days, and this time she even saw blood!"

After being yelled at by the queen mother, the emperor immediately shrank back, and Shen Mengqi moved to the queen mother's side. Before she could speak, the queen mother said first: "Don't talk, don't act like a baby!"

Seeing Shen Mengqi clenched her palms because of nervousness, the queen mother suddenly laughed, "Why, do you think the Ai family will stop you? The Ai family's niece can do whatever she wants, and standing behind you is Ai family and the emperor."

After hearing this, the emperor immediately echoed with a smile: "What the queen mother said is true."

"Grandma~"

"Don't be too happy, you are the golden branch and jade leaf, the first princess of Tianyuan Kingdom, the treasure in the palm of the Ai family and the emperor, your heart and soul, such an injury like today can't happen a second time."

"Yes, please rest assured, Grandmother, Mengqi will definitely protect herself in the future."

The queen mother lowered her eyebrows, looked at Shen Mengqi who was beaming with joy, and said: "By the way, the regent is quite nervous about you now. The Ai family heard that the two assassins he personally interrogated for you haven't come out yet."

"No, the prince himself is responsible for the guardianship of the scientific examination. If something goes wrong in the scientific examination, he should interrogate it himself."

Looking at the corners of Shen Mengqi's slightly raised mouth, the Queen Mother's eyes darkened, and she said nonchalantly: "Okay, this wound has been bandaged, so you can do what you want. Before you recover from your injury, he will go to the palace every day to ask for your pulse."

"Thank you, Grandmother."

The queen mother waved her hand and said with an impatient look: "All right, all right, let's go."

After Shen Mengqi left, the Empress Dowager's expression darkened in an instant, "Mengqi handled the scientific examination well, but since she married the regent, her emotions have become more exposed, and she not only treats the regent With feelings, but also more and more dependent on him, this is not a good sign."

The emperor also had a calm face, he turned the jade wrench finger in his hand, and said with a normal expression: "Don't worry, queen mother, this is where it is going, the bait on Qingning's side has already been laid, and there will be a good show in the future .”

"At the time when Meng Qi was asked to marry the Prince Regent, I thought he would be the one to practice. Looking at it now, we lost our wife and lost our army."

"If you don't experience unforgettable love, how can you jump out of the shackles of this worldly emotion. Only when she is really hurt can she become a qualified successor."

Seeing the emperor looking sad and reminiscing about the past, the queen mother also sighed.

What a crime, for the clean-up plan set by the former emperor, they folded generations of people into it.I hope that everything they have done is worthwhile, in exchange for the real peace and prosperity of Tianyuan Kingdom in the future.

It's just going to make these kids suffer.

After Shen Mengqi left the palace, she didn't go back to the mansion, but went directly to the Review Pavilion behind the scientific examination.When she arrived, Mu Qiancheng and the Taifu were sitting together looking at the students' exam questions.

After seeing Shen Mengqi coming, the Tai Tuo quickly got up and ran over to check the injuries on Shen Mengqi's body, "Your Highness, why didn't you go home to rest after you were injured?"

"My God, I've seen blood!"

Mu Qiancheng also said worriedly: "Your Highness, with me and the Tai Tuo here, there won't be any big troubles. Why don't you go back to cultivate first, after all, it's your body that matters."

"If you make a mistake, let alone the emperor and queen mother, even the regent will not let us go."

Tai Fu nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, this big event is not as important as your physical well-being."

Shen Mengqi shook her head and said: "It's okay, the queen mother asked the imperial doctor to bandage me. And it doesn't take much time for mere fifty exam papers."

Seeing Shen Mengqi's insistence, Tai Tuo and Mu Qiancheng didn't have much to say, they vacated a seat in the middle and asked Shen Mengqi to sit down.

After Shen Mengqi sat down, she said, "I didn't have any experience participating in this in the first year. Lord Mu and Taifu, you can judge. I'll sort it out for you here. By the way, let's see how this year's students are doing."

With Shen Mengqi's words, everyone immediately understood that she was not here to judge the papers, but to pick people.Although she is a princess, she holds a lot more weight in the hearts of the emperor and the queen mother than the prince.

She just came out of the palace and rushed over to pick someone. I'm afraid it's the palace's intention. This test paper should be judged more carefully.

Shen Mengqi casually picked up a paper that they had judged and saw that it was a second class. Shen Mengqi glanced down, and this paper happened to be the examination paper of Luo Ping'an, the third master of the Luo family.

Seeing this, Shen Mengqi couldn't help cheering up a bit, she really wanted to see what this hard-working man who regarded the three-watch fire and five-watch chicken as his creed when he was studying was written.

On the first page, the Taifu's topic was written quite well, neither eye-catching nor faulty.After turning over to look at the questions posed by herself and Mu Qiancheng, Shen Mengqi's originally relaxed posture tensed up instantly.

Although this Luo Ping'an filled the examination papers eloquently, he never made any substantive suggestions on these two issues. Basically, he just copied the art of war and the theories of contemporary great Confucianism.

Can I still get a second-class assessment like this?
Shen Mengqi couldn't help but questioned.

Seeing that Shen Mengqi's expression was a little subtle, the Taifu immediately took a sneak peek, and when he saw that Shen Mengqi was holding the test paper he had judged, he smiled apologetically.

"His Royal Highness, is there any problem with this test paper?"

Shen Mengqi certainly recognized the Tai Tuo's handwriting, she looked at the Tai Tuo with the test paper and asked, "Does the Tai Tuo think his answer is enough for our second-class judgment?"

The Taifu smiled wryly when he heard the words, and he explained to Shen Mengqi: "Your Highness, because of the sudden incident during our scientific examination, there are only fifty candidates this year. The Prime Minister and I first took a rough look. The examinees are really average in all aspects, and the answer sheet in your hand is considered to be the best among the average ones, so it is given the second grade."

Mu Qiancheng also nodded and said: "After all, we are short of manpower now."

"But it's better to be short than excessive. We're not going to buy vegetables, because we don't have fresh ones, so we think it's good to settle for the next best thing. What we choose is the future of our Tianyuan Kingdom."

Shen Mengqi said earnestly: "Our imperial court is not afraid of the vacancy of the official position, what we are afraid of is that the people who are elected will not be worthy of the position. It is the hearts of the common people that are so cold."

"But this can all be cultivated."

"Cultivation also requires qualifications."

Shen Mengqi's words made the room fall into silence, and after a while, Mu Qiancheng said: "What Her Royal Highness said is that it is better to lack than to abuse, we will re-evaluate."

On the other hand, Lin Jihan did not send the people who assassinated Shen Mengqi to the Ministry of Criminal Justice or Dali Temple, but directly pushed them back to the school grounds.

Lin Jihan sat in the middle of the school field and ordered Ye Wei to open the arms of the group of people with a deep slit, and then hang them all on the wooden stakes. Their mouths were stuffed with cotton. This prevents them from committing suicide.

Looking at the people writhing crazily on the stake and whining, Lin Jihan seemed like a piece of wood without emotion. He didn't interrogate or open his mouth, but just silently watched the blood on their arms drip down little by little. .

What broke those people the most was that Lin Jihan even called the team doctor to come over and watch.

"They made my wife stand injured in the scientific examination room for four hours, and I let them bleed for eight hours first. At sixteen, you let me watch them, and give them a hand when they are about to die."

The doctor named Sixteen bent slightly towards Lin Jihan, "Yes, please rest assured, my lord."

After giving all these instructions, Lin Jihan asked Ye Wei to watch their execution here, while he himself rushed to the scientific examination room when the imperial examination was about to end.

It's a pity that when he arrived, he was told that Shen Mengqi had been admitted to the palace, and then he ran to the palace without stopping, but by then Shen Mengqi had already left and returned to the Review Pavilion behind the scientific examination room.

Hearing the words, Lin Jihan hurried to the Review Pavilion again.

Standing outside the door of the Review Pavilion, through the candlelight silhouette, Lin Jihan clearly saw Shen Mengqi holding a test paper, opening and closing her mouth and saying something.

And Mu Qiancheng and Tai Tuo listened quietly from the side.

Seeing Shen Mengqi's lively appearance, Lin Jihan's heart finally fell half.He didn't go in, but quietly waited outside the door for her to come out.

When the sun was shining, Shen Mengqi rubbed her neck and came out of the Review Pavilion. As soon as she came out, she saw Lin Jihan waiting at the door.

Shen Mengqi rubbed her neck froze, she looked at Lin Jihan and said, "Why are you here, how long have you been here?"

"It didn't take long, but I still couldn't let you go."

Speaking of which, Lin Jihan opened his hands towards Shen Mengqi, and Shen Mengqi flung herself into Lin Jihan's arms knowingly.There was warmth in his embrace, which cut off the frosty air of the late autumn morning.

But as soon as Shen Mengqi raised her eyes, she saw the frost frozen on the fluff of Lin Jihan's cloak. Shen Mengqi's eyes sank, and she hugged Lin Jihan back quite forcefully, and said in a muffled voice, "Cold."

"not cold."

Seeing that Lin Jihan's mouth was stiff, Shen Mengqi stretched into Lin Jihan's collar directly from behind, and when she touched it, it was as cold as ice.

"You still said it's not cold, this neck is colder than ice."

Feeling the warmth of his neck, Lin Jihan kicked Shen Mengqi's arms into his arms, "Be careful not to get cold."

Shen Mengqi asked: "Why didn't you go in and call me when you came already?"

"Afraid to disturb you."

Lin Jihan's cautious appearance reminded her of the scene where she yelled at him fiercely in the examination room a few days ago.

Shen Mengqi looked at Lin Jihan with some guilt and said, "I'm sorry, I was just a little anxious at that time, I didn't really want to yell at you."

I don't say much about guilt, but Lin Jihan understands everything.He embraced Shen Mengqi in his arms and said, "I don't blame you either. What you did was right. The matter of scientific research is of great importance. There is nothing wrong with what you did. If it were me, I might say something more Excessive."

Even though he said that, Shen Mengqi knew that he was just comforting herself.

"I"

Before he could apologize again, Lin Jihan hugged Shen Mengqi, "Okay, after being tired for so long, it's time to go back and rest. When the rest is over, let's interrogate the group of people who assassinated you."

Shen Mengqi asked: "Have you not finished the interrogation?"

"It's just bloodletting to make them clear their minds. After all, you are the victim. You should be there when they interrogate them."

Shen Mengqi's heart warmed up after hearing this, she thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go back home to rest after the interrogation is over."

"No."

Lin Jihan refused without even thinking about it, "You have stayed up all night and are still injured, you should go back to rest and let the imperial doctor change your medicine. I asked Ye Wei to watch over those people. If you can't run away, you will die. No, you can relax."

"Ah."

Shen Mengqi obediently lay in Lin Jihan's arms with a compromised appearance, but there was still a little reluctance on her expression.

After Lin Jihan lifted Shen Mengqi up so that she could look at him at the same level, he looked at her and said, "How about this group of students, is there any one who can be worthy of a high position?"

"not so good."

Thinking of those papers that were full of theories like the third master of the Luo family, Shen Mengqi's mood was not very good.

Although she is willing to Mu Qiancheng and the Taifu to say that she would rather be short than excessive, she can't always be short and no one can take care of her.

Looking at Shen Mengqi, who was frowning slightly with her eyebrows slightly furrowed and looking tired, Lin Jihan asked, "Isn't there any one that can be used?"

Facing Lin Jihan, Shen Mengqi gradually became more talkative, like a little girl in an ordinary family who wanted to discuss with her husband when something happened, she chattered endlessly to Lin Jihan.

"There are two or three that look good, but we have to look at the specifics. I'm afraid that this imperial examination will be regarded as a chess and card at the beginning. They directed and acted this one for us to see. To these dazzling people."

Lin Jihan said calmly: "Haven't the spies sent by Xihuang to participate in the scientific research have already been caught? How can it be a game in the middle?"

"It was too easy for these spies to catch, and Cheng Yili was exposed too quickly. In addition, these people's analysis of Xihuang on the question I asked was not only thorough, but also expressive. For Tianyuan Kingdom and Saibei, it is like an endorsement, written without emotion."

"These very smooth things are put together, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel wrong."

Lin Jihan nodded and said: "When someone wants to play a big game of chess, he will often throw an important lure first, making you fall into his pace and follow his rules. When you feel that victory is within grasp At that time, in fact, the whole game has been lost."
