The noble lady who wears books has to fight monsters and upgrade

The person who cheated in the imperial examination this time was Chen Dongying from the north. It is said that he secretly stuffed the exam questions into a cat.

People outside the examination room got his questions and quickly helped him write a very good article.

Ji Jun and Ji Min selected some beggars who were young and well-behaved to stay. Firstly, they wanted to do some good deeds, and secondly, they wanted to choose more reliable people from among them in the future, or help them in the shop, so that they could help them. Get some news.

Or if you are promising, maybe you can help more people in need in turn.

Little things add up, one is rescued and the other is affected.

Among them was a little beggar who fled from Xujia Town, a few hundred miles away from the front line in the Northland.

The little beggar's name is Xu Ji, his parents died, and his property was robbed by vicious tribesmen, who planned to sell him clean and become a eunuch in the palace, but Xu Ji escaped when he was caught off guard.All the way to the capital, he became a beggar.

When Ji Jun and Ji Min saw Xu Ji, they saw a thin little boy rolling a wheel-like medicine grinder on his feet, and a boat-shaped medicine grinder underneath, with the branches and leaves inside making a "creaking" sound. sound.

However, these did not affect the little boy to read the book attentively while holding the scroll in his hand.

Wen Chuhui shouted,
"Xu Ji! The two ladies are here!"

Xu Ji looked back, his face was slightly pale, but his brows and eyes were delicate, and his expression was indifferent, revealing melancholy and vigilance that did not match his age.

Yes, he almost became a eunuch, and, what's more, the utensils for washing the body were not well sterilized, and the technique was not neat, so it was not uncommon to lose his life.

He walked over before the gate of hell, how did you let him shine?

When Ji Min saw it, his body shook, "Xiao Xuzi"!
Oh, it turns out that his name is Xu Ji!In his previous life, he only said that his surname was "Xu", and his name was also common. When he entered the palace, he was given a name by his master, and he was called "Xiaoxuzi".There are no relatives outside the palace walls, so what's the point of calling it?Ji Min didn't ask any more questions,

Xu Shi's name is the hard work and blessings of his parents, and the warmest bond between him and his parents. He has left a place in his heart for his parents, and he does not want others to touch it.

In her previous life, Xiao Xuzi was the youngest eunuch in Concubine Lu's Chunhui Palace.Although he is young, he is smart and quick-witted.

What's more, it's rare to be able to play chess with Concubine Lu to relieve boredom.

After Ji Min arrived at Concubine Lu's place, he soon became acquainted with Xiao Xuzi, and the two of them accompanied Concubine Lu together, and that time was very pleasant.

In front of outsiders, Xiao Xuzi respectfully called Ji Min "Qin beauty".

In private, Ji Min asked Xiao Xuzi to call herself "Sister Qin".

After the second prince forced the palace, at first, Ji Min was imprisoned in the cold palace.

At that time, the second prince hadn't figured out how to get more benefits from Ji Min, he wanted to force Li's army, and wanted to use Ji Min to threaten Li Guogong's government.

However, Hong Peiju and the others didn't know what method they used, but they attacked their grandfather and uncle first!
When Ji Min knew about it, his grandfather and uncle had already been accused of "leading the army to rebel"!

At that time, the two of them had no soldiers and no power besides the servants and guards in the mansion. Wouldn't it be trifling to rebel?

But do facts matter?

That night, Xiao Xuzi secretly came to Lenggong and said to Ji Min,

"Sister Qin, the concubine bribed the guards and found a way to escape from the palace, let me help my sister escape!"

Xiao Xuzi brought Ji Min a set of clothes for a young eunuch. After dressing up, he escaped through the dog hole in the cold palace.

The journey went smoothly, after all, few people would notice the two little eunuchs, they only thought they were doing errands for the master.

Occasionally encounter interrogation, because most of them know Xiao Xuzi, although they don't know Ji Min, but there is no flaw, they just think it is Xiao Xuzi's face-to-face follower.

After all, Xiao Xuzi is young and weak, so it is normal to need help.

However, when he was about to get out of the palace and approached the palace wall, there was the sound of chasing and killing from behind, and there was also the sound of horseshoes!
Ji Min looked back and saw that in the light of the flames, it was actually the second prince leading the men chasing after him!
Ji Min panicked immediately, but Xiao Xuzi was extremely calm. He looked around, then pointed to a small bush not far away and said to Ji Min,

"Sister, where do you hide, I will lead them away! When we are far away, you just go there according to the route I said, and you will soon reach the palace wall. There is a secret dog hole there, too. The imperial concubine has ordered people to guard there, and I will rescue you and escape soon!"

Ji Min was bewildered and terrified,
"But--"

"No but!" Xiao Xuzi said categorically, with firm eyes, and the expression at that moment was like that of Concubine Lu who usually kills and makes decisions in the palace.

Ji Min's heart skipped a beat!Before he had time to say more, Xiao Xuzi pushed Ji Min away viciously.

Then, after bouncing a few times in an exaggerated posture, he ran in another direction.

Ji Min quickly followed Xiao Xuzi's instructions and fled to a nearby grove to hide.

After being reborn, Ji Min remembered that at that time, Xiao Xuzi should have been prepared to sacrifice herself to protect Ji Min if necessary!

Because the light was dim at that time, Xiao Xuzi was wearing a light blue dress that day, while Ji Min was wearing a black overshirt.

In this way, when there is a little light, Xiao Xuzi's clothes will be particularly conspicuous!
Therefore, Ji Min's hiding in the bushes in the dark was not noticed by many people.

Ji Min stared wide-eyed, suppressed his fear, and watched helplessly as the second prince led the crowd over, followed by some palace guards and eunuchs.

In the flames, the second prince's face was gloomy and his eyes were bloodthirsty. With a wave of his hand, he saw a guard bowing his bow and shooting an arrow at Xiao Xuzi!
Ji Min tightly covered his mouth, not letting himself shout out.

Seeing Xiao Xuzi running, she staggered and fell to the ground!
After a while, the second prince came up to him, and when he turned over, he heard Xiao Xuzi shout,

"You will not die a good death for killing your father and king!"

Ji Min couldn't see the second prince's expression, so he pulled out the sword of the guard beside him and stabbed Xiao Xuzi's chest viciously!

Ji Min put his hand in his mouth and bit it tightly!Frightened, angry, sad, all kinds of emotions could not be suppressed, which made her cry big and big!
At this time, only someone asked,

"Your Majesty, do you want to continue the search?"

"Your Majesty, why bother to mobilize the army? Make the palace restless?" A person next to the second prince spoke slowly, and Ji Xi recognized that it was Hong Yubin's voice.

The second prince handed the sword to the guard, and asked lazily on the horse,
"What is Aiqing's plan?"

Hong Yubin said humbly,

"Qinmei's ability to escape here means that there are people in the palace who can help her. In case of a conflict with her, the other party will definitely jump the wall and try to fight us to the death. Why should your majesty put yourself in danger? I have a little plan, very It's easy to find Qinmei!"

Ji Min didn't know what he was talking about, but soon Ji Min knew.

Hong Yubin asked someone to bring a big dog, and tied a few bunches of incense around the dog's body and head. After lighting it, he let the big dog run in the direction where Ji Min was escaping.

At this time, Ji Min was at the downwind, and in an instant, Ji Min smelled a pungent fragrance, and soon Ji Min fell unconscious...

When he woke up again, Ji Min had already been thrown into prison!

Ji Jun didn't see the change in Ji Min's expression, she smiled at the little boy bowing to her and asked,

"Come on, tell us what you know!"

Xu Ji respectfully stood aside after saluting,

"There are two brothers in the Chen family. The older brother is called Chen Dongfu, and the younger is called Chen Dongying. It is said that the older brother's knowledge is much better than that of the younger brother. He is a famous talent in our area."

Ji Yun thought that the turning point was about to come, so he asked,

"Then why is the younger brother selected as the Jinshi this time? Something must have happened? Could it be that Chen Dongfu is a bastard? The family doesn't allow bastards to take the imperial examination?"

Xu Ji couldn't help but look at Ji Jun more when he heard this, and thought, this young lady has thought a lot.

So he hurriedly said,

"No, no, no! They are siblings from the same mother, and they are twins!"

Seeing that Xu Ji saw nothing unusual about him, Ji Min knew that he had no memory of his previous life at this moment, so he calmed down and said,

"Could it be that the family is poor and only one person can take the imperial examination? Or, are there any rules for the members of the Chen clan?"

Ji Min heard from his grandmother that in some places, twins are very prejudiced, such as the imperial examination or the division of family wealth, only one person is allowed.

Xu Ji shook his head and said,
"No, no, although the Chen family is an outsider, they are not very rich and powerful in our place, but they are also considered well-to-do. It seems that their father passed away early and left them a lot of money, enough for them to live. Rather, many years ago , Chen Dongfu got a serious illness, and when he recovered, his appearance was ruined and he was very ugly, so he couldn't take the imperial examination!"

Ji Jun and Ji Min were silent, Da Zhou did have such a rule, not to mention disfigured, even if the appearance is not very straight, I am afraid that rankings and even admissions will be restricted.

After all, in the future, when he becomes an official in the court, if the emperor sees this minister, he will get upset and will not be able to eat, can the emperor be happy?

"How did the matter come to light?" Ji Yun was more concerned about this. If he wanted to help the fifth prince, he had to understand the situation first!
Zhou Huan is now in charge of the investigation, and she can't let Zhou Huan "fake public affairs for personal gain".

Li Mi only found out that Chen Dongying's elder brother voluntarily surrendered to the crime, saying that he planned it alone and had nothing to do with his younger brother.

joke!

If it's irrelevant, how could his brother "cheat"?
However, no matter how much information there was, Li Mi couldn't get it out.

Moreover, Ji Yun also didn't want people to know that Li Mi was concerned about this matter and that it involved supporting the prince, especially since this prince had some unclear relationship with the Duke of Li, so Li Mi couldn't be involved too much.

Whether to support the fifth prince, Ji Yun has not yet decided.

But now, the second prince must be blocked!

"Then, how did Chen Dongfu help Chen Dongying, and why did you say that Chen Dongying had nothing to do with it?"

Xu Jidao,
"The two of them are twins, and they have telepathy! While Chen Dongying was sleeping and dreaming, Chen Dongfu passed the finished article to his younger brother, so the younger brother got the inspiration in the dream, and he wrote like a god!"

Ji Jun and Ji Min spoke together,
"What?!"

Even Ji Jun was shocked beyond measure.
