The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

497 Chapter 7

Because of seeing Princess Longyu, Qiu Xuan's body improved a lot.You can get up and sit in the garden for a while, and listen to the servant tell another important event that happened in the palace.

"The thief who framed your lord has finally been caught, and it is Mr. Han, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

Qiu Xuan hurriedly asked: "But you also found some evidence, but Mr. Han doesn't admit it?"

"No, Mr. Han pleaded guilty."

Qiu Xuan squinted his eyes, he still remembered the expression on his face when the emperor passed the decree to pardon him, and Mr. Han personally picked him up from prison.Anyway, it doesn't look like the person who framed him.

Qiu Xuan rubbed his forehead, his intuition was always accurate, among them, could there be any clues...

In the end, he failed to take the national exam because of his illness.Prince Longyu was in charge of this matter, while Princess Longyu was recuperating in the palace.

I heard she was not feeling well.

Qiuxuan's health improved, so he went to the palace for a walk if he had nothing to do.I just went to Zhaowen Hall and saw a busy scene.The national examination is over, and the examiners are reviewing the examination papers.Miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter, but Qiuxuan, as a bachelor, is not blocked.

Prince Longyu was sitting where he was originally sitting, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly beckoned him to come over.

"Look, how about it?"

"The level of this batch of candidates is really good."

Qiu Xuan was reading the paper when a eunuch came in: "Lord Qiu, Your Majesty is here to invite you."

King Longyu patted Qiu Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up."

Qiu Xuan nodded and followed the eunuch to the imperial study.Sitting behind the table, Duanmu Canglan seemed to be in a good mood.He didn't look at anything, he seemed to be reminiscing about something, and tapped his fingers on the table.Seeing him coming, she withdrew her hand and watched him come in with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen Qiu Scrophulariae."

"Master Qiu is flat,"

Duanmu Canglan looked at Qiu Xuan with a smile on her lips. Qiu Xuan knew that it was the emperor's usual smile: "Master Qiu is feeling better?"

"It's almost all over, thank you Your Majesty for your concern."

Duanmu Canglan smiled: "I'm recuperating at home these days, have you thought about why Han Tong wanted to harm you?"

"I can't even figure it out..." Qiu Xuan looked at Duanmu Canglan, her delicate brows could not help frowning: "Your Majesty also has doubts about treason against Lord Han, right?"

"But he has admitted it himself."

"Could it be coerced?"

"What else is there to threaten, even life?"

Qiu Xuan frowned tightly, if it was related to Han Xinying, he couldn't say it either.If Mr. Han is to protect his son, wouldn't it be a waste of effort for Mr. Han to say it here?

"Master Han lived a miserable life, it is hard to imagine that he would be rebellious."

Duanmu Canglan stood up, walked to the door of the study, opened the door, and looked at the rockery from a distance: "Qiuxuan."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"No matter who this person is, he wants to frame a person in order to protect himself. And you, a great scholar, have nothing to do with the world, and you are from Prime Minister Xu's school with me. He has taken a great risk by framing you. If He is just for self-protection, so there is no need to take you into surgery. So this person is targeting you. If, I mean if, that person is not Han Tong, but another person. Then he hurt you once, and he It will hurt you a second time. You can’t always act like you’re doing nothing, and don’t care about anything except learning.”

Qiu Xuan lowered his eyes and said: "Your Majesty is very right, I understand."

Duanmu Canglan turned around, walked up to him slowly, circled around him slowly, and said, "Princess Longyu, I like you very much. For the sake of her respect, you should also take good care of your little one." Life."

Qiu Xuan didn't refute, just lowered his eyes.Duanmu Canglan looked at him, then walked back to the desk: "Open your eyes wide, observe your surroundings carefully, and protect yourself. That's enough, you step back."

Qiu Xuan left the imperial study room, raised his head and took a deep breath.He really didn't think that much.But the emperor was right, and this man wanted to get rid of him too.Why?He is a great scholar who has nothing to do with the world, who is in the way?

Open your eyes, the autumn sun should not be underestimated, it is very dazzling.He looked away and continued walking.

However, the last sentence of the emperor said a lot.Is he warning him to keep his distance from the princess, or is he hinting that there is something between them?

No matter what, he can't just look for that princess again in the future.If there is something wrong with her, he will kill her, but if there is nothing wrong, he will keep a distance from her.He just doesn't want to hurt her.

After the national examination, some new faces appeared in the court.He, the most popular prime minister candidate, is still in front of his bachelor.And the new prime minister was unexpectedly Mo Ningtian.

Mo Ningtian, he is very smart and fully capable of taking up this position.It's just... Qiu Xuan put down his pen, he was thinking about the cold appearance he saw in a trance that morning.The emperor said that those who harmed him deliberately targeted him.

Qiu Xuan sighed, maybe Mo Ningtian's friendship with King Longyu was for the position of prime minister.As for harming him, it should have nothing to do with him.

"Master Qiu." A scholar with an embarrassed expression walked up to him and called him furtively.Qiu Xuan raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

"Well, Princess Longyu asked you to go out..."

Qiu Xuan stood up all of a sudden: "You can't tell other people about this, do you understand?"

"Yes Yes."

After explaining, Qiu Xuan ran out quickly, and sure enough, he saw Bai Li'an hiding in the grove not far away, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly waved.

This princess.

When Qiu Xuan passed by, she dragged him into the forest.While pulling, I looked around nervously.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Xuan couldn't help but smiled wryly, showing his little canine teeth: "Princess, what are you going to do? Let others see it, so they think we two are doing something shameful."

Bai Lian gave him a blank look: "If you do something shameful, you won't be in front of your Zhaowen Hall in broad daylight."

"Then what are you hiding from?" He spread his hands.

At this moment, he saw Bai Lian take out a sheepskin wrapped in brocade cloth from his sleeve...

It wasn't until late at night when he returned home that Qiu Xuan unfolded the sheepskin. The first thing he saw was the handwriting of the first emperor.This should be written by the first emperor, but how could it be hidden in the rockery?And what is recorded on the sheepskin?

Qiu Xuan frowned, looking at the old sheepskin, he felt a faint bad feeling in his heart.So he closed the sheepskin, leaned against the backrest, and rubbed his forehead.

In his mind, Bai Lian's beautiful and playful expression appeared.

——Master Qiu, I am waiting for your news. ——

With a long sigh, Qiu Xuan sat up straight, unfolded the sheepskin again, and began to grope for the contents on it.

Is this a treasure map?Are these pictures actually routes?

Three days later, Qiu Xuan finally figured out everything on the map, it was really a map.But, how to contact Princess Longyu?

When he was troubled, he found that Bai Lian often wandered around in front of Zhaowen Hall.With a wry smile, he hid the sheepskin map in his sleeve and walked in front of her.
