Chapter 54 Opening

This is the only reward she can ask for.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the girl has always had a doubt in her heart, and she can't figure it out. The emperor is wise, and I beg the emperor to solve the puzzle for the girl." Xiao Ning hesitated, and decided to ask the one who had troubled her for three days and three nights. question.

"Let's listen to it." The emperor asked while writing with a pen.

Xiao Ning told her everything Shen Shaojie told her that day, and an arrow was shot at her.

The emperor's stroke stopped, leaving a huge black spot on the rice paper.

An arrow has no eyes, but the person who shoots it has eyes.Those thousand pieces of gold are powerless, and the assassin will never waste an arrow on them, and there will never be the possibility of shooting them by mistake.

If someone really wanted to shoot Xiao Ning, then it would not be difficult to guess the murderer behind it.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao is upright, but because he is too upright, he doesn't understand Yuantong. Could it be that he offended someone?" The personal eunuch couldn't help asking.

If so, then there is a traitor in the court.

The emperor shook his head: "If it is aimed at Xiao Aiqing, you can directly assassinate him in Shangshu's mansion without much effort. Besides, the daughters of the Xiao family are also present."

If Xiao Ran wanted to take revenge on Xiao Ran for assassinating his blood relatives, Xiao Qi would not be safe and sound.

"Your majesty is wise." Xiao Ning nodded, "Minnv thinks, the mastermind behind the scenes not only wanted to assassinate the emperor, but also the minnv. It must be that the minnv did something to anger him, and the emperor took good care of the minnv. With addition, this transfers the resentment to the emperor."

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the assassin stared at the two of them to assassinate.

The emperor's face was slightly dark, and the pen and ink in his hand had dripped into puddles.

"It is passed on to Master Li, the Imperial Supervisor, to enter the palace."

Xiao Ning smiled quietly, the emperor is the emperor, one click will tell.

During the poetry competition, that Master Li interrupted her twice, and suppressed her extraordinary poems, instead sending the poems of other daughters to the competition.

The aim of this, the emperor can detect the strangeness in it as long as he thinks back a little.

It is very doubtful that the courtiers are targeting a rich lady.

None of the courtiers were injured that day, and Mr. Li was naturally working in the Imperial College as usual. Hearing the summons, he immediately went to the Imperial Garden.

"Li Aiqing, the Song Family Restaurant has launched a lot of new dishes recently, do you have a little bit of delivery, to taste it?" The emperor looked calm, holding a cup of tea, and whispered softly.

Xiao Ning stood on the side without speaking, secretly looking at Mr. Li out of the corner of his eyes.

"My minister is busy with official duties, and the food he eats is the same as that of his colleagues. It is cooked by the cooks in the Imperial College." Master Li's voice was trembling.

The emperor raised his eyes and asked coldly: "Is that so? I thought that the dishes at the Song Family Restaurant were not to your liking, so you secretly suppressed the poems of the Second Miss of the Xiao Family."

Lord Li swallowed his saliva: "Your Majesty, it's all due to my lack of awareness."

The emperor snorted coldly, hitting Lord Li on the back like a nail.

Such absurd excuses can only fool three-year-olds.

"Your Majesty, there are a few words I want to say." Xiao Ning stood up, turned to look at Mr. Li, "You have never visited the Song Family Restaurant, but Mr. Bo Wusheng, the director of the Imperial College who has a good relationship with Mr. Li, is a restaurant. Regulars here."

As soon as this name came out, Master Li's face turned pale.

This Guozijian Zhu Bo named Wu Sheng was born in a family of hairpins, but he was the most inconspicuous son in that family.

He failed to achieve anything in his studies, wandering around all day long, and failed the imperial examination for five years.However, in the sixth year, he suddenly won the second-class Jinshi.However, he said that he was ignorant and had no intention of being an official, so he only applied for the position of the head of the Imperial College.

The world is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Xiao Ning does not believe that a playboy can make progress within a year.Behind this, he must have tried every means to get through the back door, and Mr. Li, the Guozijian Jijiu, had a good relationship with him, and it may not be possible to get rid of the relationship.

"Why mention Wu Zhubo for no reason?" The emperor was puzzled by these words.

Xiao Ningfu nodded: "My Majesty, this Master Wu is a frequent visitor to the Song family restaurant. He once said after being drunk that he and Master Li are classmates and friends. Before the imperial examination, he relied on his generosity to help each other. There will be no end."

Hearing this, the emperor's face changed.

The year that Mr. Li held the position of sacrificial wine was the year when the Wu family boy was elected.If he can rely on Mr. Li, then it may not be because of academic help.

Since the two are classmates, if they really have a good relationship, they wouldn't wait until their friend failed the exam for five years before helping each other.

Xiao Ning made such a slight mention, the emperor was already suspicious.

"Master Li, as the imperial supervisor, was appointed as the supervisor of the examination room many times in the imperial examinations. During the year of the scientific examination, Master Wu, you also supervised it?" She said in a long tone, deliberately emphasizing the supervisor.

If Lao Song's investigation is correct, these two people are colluding and committing fraud.

Master Li's throat moved, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Speaking of which, women are a little curious. Even the twenty or thirty pieces of poems written by the daughter of the boudoir can be ignored by Mr. Li for a while. I don't know if there are hundreds of tribute students, Mr. Li may have checked them carefully?" Xiao Ning saw that he lost his voice, knowing that he It was a guilty conscience, and he immediately pursued the victory.

"There was more than one prison officer present at the time, and there were other colleagues who were reviewing the papers. It doesn't matter if I don't notice it for a while." Master Li desperately squeezed out a sentence.

"Come here, send me all the supervisors of Wu Aiqing's scientific examination that day!" The emperor suddenly turned cold, and there was a gleam of fierceness in his eyes as he stared at Master Li.

He raised his hand, and a guard in blue stepped up and clasped his fists.

The emperor whispered a few words in his ear, and the guard in blue said yes and left.

The atmosphere in the Royal Garden Xiting instantly became extremely cold.

Xiao Ning looked at Master Li who was standing there trembling slightly, his eyes were cold.

In the tent that day, he told himself that it was best not to leave the tent under the scorching sun.At first glance, it sounded like a word of concern, but Master Li added in a weird way, that Si Ruiyan couldn't catch the prey anyway.

Looking back, this is clearly an irony.

Master Li is deliberately forcing her to pay the bill.

A courtier and a married daughter have nothing to do with each other.Xiao Ning didn't know where he had offended Mr. Li, but his repeated attempts to make things difficult must not be simple.Instead of sitting still and waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

She has no official or position, she can't compete with these courtiers, and if she has the chance, she will kill them all.

Last night, she ordered Lao Song to investigate everything about Mr. Li, but she did not find any clues.The people he saw were all colleagues of the Guozijian, and there was no sudden money in the mansion, so it can be said that there was nothing strange about it.

However, Xiao Ning can't be careless, as long as there is any threat to her, she has to get rid of it.

Because those assassins assassinated the emperor as a cover, and the real target was her.

Master Li's abnormal behavior that day was enough to make her suspicious.

After a stick of incense, several courtiers came one after another.

Their expressions were trembling, and they looked at each other secretly from the corner of the eye, as if they wanted to find some comfort from each other.

At this moment, the guard in blue who had been ordered had rushed back. After saluting, he rushed to the emperor's ear, whispering something in a low voice.

Suddenly, the emperor's expression changed, and he picked up the teacup in his hand and smashed it hard.

The teacup shattered, and there was a startling sound.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Lord Li and other courtiers knelt down one after another, their faces were instantly pale as wax paper, and their kneeling bodies were trembling.

Xiao Ning also knelt down, nodded slightly, brows calmly.
