Chapter 246 Duplicity
When Zhou Fang heard this, he was even more annoyed. Neither the son nor the daughter really made him worry.

"Who is so bold that he just coveted you?"

Zhou Xinyan raised his eyes timidly, hesitated, and said, "The man said his name is Chen Fuli, and he is from Luzhou."

"Where did Chen Fuli come from?" Zhou Fang frowned, thinking, now, how can any cat or dog dare to come here to attack the daughter of the prime minister!
Zhou Xinyan said truthfully: "He said that he is a disciple of Grand Master Ning and also a guest of His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince?" Zhou Fang raised his eyebrows, thinking suspiciously, since Chen Fuli is Gu Jincheng's guest, how could he compete with Gu Jincheng for Zhou Xinyan.

Seeing that Zhou Fang was deep in thought, Zhou Xinyan continued, "Father, Chen Fuli came to Jinling City to participate in this year's spring test. If that's the case, he should study hard at the inn. Why would he pester me for no reason?"

Zhou Fang's eyes darkened, and he felt that what Zhou Xinyan said was reasonable. He speculated, if he hadn't been instructed by someone, why would he just look for Zhou Xinyan.

He didn't believe that Chen Fuli, as Gu Jincheng's guest, would not have such insight.

Could it be Gu Jincheng's instruction?Zhou Fang's pupils shrank, is it necessary for Gu Jincheng?
Zhou Xinyan's mind changed, and then she said: "Father, didn't you ask me why I appeared at the changing place of the eldest grandson of Emperor Hua, and blocked an arrow for him?"

"Actually, at that time, after the maid serving His Royal Highness the eldest grandson went to the Imperial Garden to report, it was His Royal Highness the Second Prince who took me there."

"According to what the two maids said, His Highness the Emperor and Princess Yu were in the same room, but when I got there, I didn't find Princess Yu, but I found that His Highness the Emperor was intoxicated by Biluoxiang."

There was some unspeakable concealment on Zhou Xinyan's face, Zhou felt awe-inspiring, and his eyes lit up, "It was His Royal Highness the Second Prince who brought you there, so why didn't you say it earlier?"

At that time, after Zhou Xinyan woke up, there was a suspicious blush on his face, he hesitated to say anything, he still thought she was interested in Yu Wenhao, and ran over on his own initiative.

If Gu Jincheng had brought her there, the nature would have been completely different.

"Father, what should I say about this kind of thing? I was hit by an arrow at the time, and my mind was not very clear." Zhou Xinyan lowered her head in great annoyance, and said pitifully: "In that case, even if I say to His Royal Highness Nothing, and no one believed it."

"Fortunately, an arrow shot in later, and I blocked it for His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, so that others could only focus on the assassin's affairs, so I covered up the Bi Luoxiang incident. Otherwise, I would have to bang my head against the wall to prove my innocence."

As she said that, she raised her head and earnestly begged Zhou Fang, "Father, His Royal Highness the Second Prince didn't really want to marry me at all, otherwise, why would he once push me to other men. Last time, it was His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, this time, again It's his staff, next time, I don't know who it will be."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait to marry him." Zhou Xinyan took up the veil again to hide her tears.

Zhou Xinyan took a breath in his heart. He didn't care whether Gu Jincheng was sincere to Zhou Xinyan or not. However, Gu Jincheng said that he wanted to marry Zhou Xinyan, but at the same time tried to push her to other men in order to benefit himself. What do you think of Xiangfu.

"Yan'er, it's because my father misunderstood you. From now on, your freedom of going in and out of the house will not be restricted anymore." Zhou Fang sighed, then looked at her lovingly, and lowered his voice, "This matter , Father has already figured it out in his heart, you go back to the room first, Father will make the decision for you."

Zhou Xinyan couldn't help turning around, it's great, she doesn't have to be locked up in the mansion anymore, she can see whoever she wants, even if she can only look at him from a distance.

After she left, Zhou Fang's eyes dimmed, and he thought in his heart that this matter still needs to be studied. Chen Fuli can't say that he is from Gu Jincheng, so he will believe it.

It's just that he just started asking people to investigate. On the day of the spring test, something happened in Jiangnan Gongyuan.

One of the scholars dared to prepare the answer in advance and sewed it on the coat.

And after he was caught on the spot, when the chief examiner came to check his test paper, he saw a quatrain in it, "The sunset and the lone bird fly together, and the autumn water is the same as the sky."

As far as he knew, Yun Changyi, the head of Anle County who was once famous far and wide, had written this quatrain, but it was only circulated in a small area.

Chen Fuli never expected that he had kept the answer so secret that someone could still find it.

He hurriedly cried and begged for mercy, "My lord, although Caomin brought in the answers, I did all of this in advance. I beg you to forgive me and let me go."

Unfortunately, the assistant examiner who invigilated the exam today was the current third prince Gu Jinnian.

When Gu Jinnian saw that quatrain, his lungs exploded with anger.

It was what Yun Changyi did before his death, and it was a thought she left to him. It was because he missed Yun Changyi that he deliberately moved closer to Yun Changyi's preferred style when many academicians of the Imperial Academy drafted the Chunwei exam questions.

He had already thought up a copy of the answer sheet for this test question, in which he quoted this quatrain.

When Chen Fuli saw Gu Jinnian, he insisted once again that he wrote the answer sheet prepared in advance.

"You shameless villain, ruin the atmosphere of the examination room, take me down and lock you up!" Gu Jinnian was furious, and he didn't know which scoundrel came out of the mountain to steal the poems written by his Chang Yi.

Chen Fuli was dumbfounded all of a sudden, he thought that from then on, he would be successfully shortlisted in the palace examination, the number one scholar in high school, honored by the holy family, with flowers blooming brocades, and cooking oil over a blazing fire.

I never thought that when I looked around, there were broken walls and ruins, and when I looked down, I saw that it was cold food and bad food. He was locked in a cell alone, so miserable.

In recent years, Emperor Changde ordered to strictly rectify the ethos of the examination hall. Once fraudulent behavior is discovered, it will be severely punished.

Therefore, the Chen Fuli incident was quickly investigated by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Not long after, the relationship between Chen Fuli and Gu Jincheng was found out.Interested people also discovered that on the day when the Chinese mission first entered Jinling City and the horses were startled at the city gate, Chen Fuli later went with Yun Changyi to tame the strong horses, and the two still communicated with each other.

And at that time, Yun Changyi, because many people saw the scene where her wig fell off the ground, was suspected of being faked by the secret agents of the Yuezhao clan.

If Chen Fuli had something to do with the Yuezhao Clan's secret work, and was a member of Gu Jincheng, then there would be a big problem.

Both the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple suspected that Gu Jincheng wanted to place the forces of the Yuezhao clan in the court, and they dared not make any claims, so they reported the matter to Emperor Changde.

Emperor Changde suddenly became furious with thunder, Gu Jincheng came to the palace in person to show his innocence, but he was sent back to the mansion by Emperor Changde. Emperor Changde did not deal with him on the surface, but secretly, he had sent someone to monitor him Third Prince's Mansion.

After Feng Xihe learned about this, he felt delighted. Gu Jincheng wanted to win over the Prime Minister's Mansion and drive a wedge between the Prime Minister's Mansion and Feng Guogong's Mansion, but he tasted the feeling of causing fire.

She wondered, since Gu Jincheng had trained a group of dead soldiers, then his next step would be to use those dead soldiers.

Gu Jincheng would not mobilize those dead men unless he came to a dead end, otherwise, it would be tantamount to revealing all his ambitions to the public.

However, that dead end will come soon.

On this day, Feng Xihe was leaning on a soft couch under the rattan trellis, absently flipping through the pages of the book in her hands, the fine sunlight hitting her cheeks, making her look peaceful.

However, Feng Xihe's mind was not on the content of the pages of the book. Gu Shiyin hadn't come back for several days. She was worried, worried that something would happen to Gu Shiyin.

And when she was worried, there was a piece of fiery red clothes shaking in front of her eyes. Feng Xihe raised her head and saw the man standing in front of her, with phoenix eyes and haughty expression in his eyes, as if he was contemptuous of everything. If it wasn't Gu Shiyin, who else?
Feng Xihe restrained the excitement in his heart, put the book on the stone table casually, and said lightly: "Oh, you are back."

However, before she finished speaking, Gu Shiyin pulled her over, leaned on the soft couch, and let her snuggle into his arms.

"Why, during the few days when the king is away, have you been alone and sleepless?" Gu Shiyin whispered in her ear as his slightly callused hand stroked her hair.

Feng Xihe choked, and rolled his eyes angrily, "You think too much, I'm more or less happy to be free."

"You're duplicity, this king has decided to make it up to you tonight." Gu Shiyin said thoughtfully after listening.

Who is duplicity?Feng Xihe was about to fight him, but when he saw that Gu Shiyin had asked a maid to bring over a bowl of medicine.

"Listen to me, drink it first." Gu Shiyin took the medicine bowl, Feng Xihe was a little confused, so she looked into his deep pool-like eyes, but couldn't see anything.

However, she did not have too much doubt, so she endured the unpleasant smell and drank it peacefully.

Gu Shiyin looked at her with great satisfaction, a sly look flashed across her eyes, and she bit her earlobe lightly, "You are so obedient, this king will compensate you more tonight."

"Get lost!" Feng Xihe said angrily, with two touches of blush on her face, Gu Shiyin's eyes were slightly focused, and she lowered her head and sealed her lips.

Afterwards, there was the sound of Feng Xihe beating and cursing.

In the evening, after Feng Xihe fell asleep from exhaustion, Gu Shiyin turned to his side, stared at her sleeping face for a while, then got up and put on his clothes.

In the night, at the gate of King Yu's Mansion, there was already a man waiting in a black cloak, half of his face was hidden under the hood, when he saw Gu Shiyin coming out, he stepped forward and called out: " Uncle Yuhuang."

Gu Shiyin nodded slightly, motioning for him to step into the carriage.

Gu Shiyin took him to the right minister's mansion. Zhou Fang had just rested when he heard the porter report that Gu Shiyin was visiting, so he had to get dressed quickly, went out to greet him, and brought Gu Shiyin and others into the main hall.

"I don't know who this young master is..." The candle lights in the main hall lit up one after another, and Zhou Fang couldn't see the face under the hood clearly, so he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.
