Chapter 832
It was a relief for the students gathered in the capital to finally make it to the test. This time, the test will be held every three days for nine days and six nights.At this time, the cold winter is not over, and the candidates not only have to prepare food, but also prepare thick clothes and quilts to take to the Gongyuan, which adds a lot of burden compared to the time of the rural examination.

Li Xiruo stood in front of the inn and watched Liu Yusheng and Chen Xin, who knew that the two of them hadn't walked a few steps before a luxurious carriage came and stopped in front of Chen Xin.

Chen Xin looked up, and Ning Deyin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, appeared in front of him. He was a little dazed, thinking that since he said those words last time, they would never see each other again.

Wearing a veil, Ning Deyin still had the same expression as before. He sat in the carriage and poked his head slightly towards Chen Xin and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, I know you are going to take the exam today, so I specially send you off. I hope you can be named on the gold list , Toad Palace wins the laurel."

Although Chen Xin was surprised, he still smiled at the congratulatory words: "Thank you, miss."

Ning Deyin called Luyao and asked her to give the things to Chen Xin.

Luyao came up with a food box reluctantly and said: "Miss heard that in the examination room, you can only eat some hard-to-eat dry food. I was afraid that you might not be used to it, so I ordered the cook to make some easy-to-eat food." The saved meat and pastries are for the young master."

Chen Xin immediately said to Ning Deyin: "Miss Ning is bothering you, but I'm already used to eating simple food in the test room, I'm afraid I will disappoint the girl's kindness."

Luyao opened the food box: "Master, you can take a look at it, this is carefully made."

Pieces of salted and wind-blown jerky were placed on the plate, and the delicate dim sum was carved like flowers. Even Chen Xin had never eaten such delicate things in his daily meals.

Liu Yusheng immediately became greedy, and said to Ning Deyin, "Miss Ning, can I take some?"

Luyao was dissatisfied: "Miss specially ordered this to be done for Mr. Chen."

"Lvyao." Ning Deyin was keeping an eye on her in the sedan chair, so she had no choice but to give Liu Yusheng a plate of snacks. Seeing Liu Yusheng happily put it in his test basket, Chen Xin approached Ning Deyin and said hesitantly, "Miss Ning." , I thought last time..."

"Chen Xin, I was self-willed last time. I didn't dare to come to you for half a month because I was afraid of disturbing you. Now this is just a little wish from me. Are you unwilling to accept it?"

Seeing Ning Deyin looking at him sincerely, but for some reason, Chen Xin felt uneasy.

Taking advantage of Chen Xin's silence, Ning Deyin asked Luyao to put all the food into Chen Xin's test basket.Luyao took out the dry food prepared by Chen Xin himself, put in all the food prepared by Ning Deyin, and handed it back to Chen Xin.

Chen Xin said helplessly, "Thank you Miss Ning."

Ning Deyin smiled at him, but when she looked up, she saw Li Xiruo was looking at her all the time, she smiled and slowly lowered the curtain.

Chen Xin turned his head with the test basket in his hand, and looked at Li Xiruo who had been staring at the direction of Ning Deyin's carriage. He was a little puzzled, but Liu Yusheng grabbed him: "Brother Chen, go, or you will have to line up outside again. It's not like you don't know the cumbersome body searches every time, so you have to hurry to the Gongyuan."

Chen Xin followed Liu Yusheng and ran to the Gongyuan. Fu Wanying saw Li Xiruo looking at the direction of Ning Deyin's departure with a serious expression, and said to her, "A few days ago, I met this Miss Ning family."

Li Xiruo turned her head and looked at her. Fu Wanying saw Li Xiruo turned her eyes to look at her, looked at Li Xiruo and said: "She is with another man, not only that, but the two of them behave very intimately." .”

Li Xiruo frowned, not sure if Ning Deyin fell in love with someone else, but if she didn't like Chen Xin anymore, why did she send these things again.

Fu Wanying thought about the scene that day and said: "And I listened, it seems that Miss Ning's family called that man a prince. Presumably, compared with Mr. Chen, she has found a more powerful person to rely on."

"My lord? How old is that lord and what does he look like?"

Seeing Li Xiruo's eagerness to ask, Fu Wanying said carefully: "The appearance is handsome, and he looks very young, like a weak crown, with a very pale complexion."

Most of the princes in the court have already passed their thirties, and only Prince Yu and Prince Jing were married not long ago, but when it comes to being handsome, young and fair-faced, the only one who fits him is Prince Yu.

King Yu, Li Xiruo opened his eyes wide, and hurried towards Chen Xin's direction.

Liu Yusheng dragged Chen Xin to trot to the gate of the Gongyuan, and was about to go in when Li Xiruo grabbed his sleeve and pulled him aside.

Chen Xin was very surprised when he saw Li Xiruo: "Why are you here?"

Li Xiruo looked at him and said, "Just now Fu Wanying told me that Ning Deyin and King Yu are together these days."

"Prince Yu? How could Miss Ning have something to do with King Yu? Didn't King Yu already married the concubine?"

Liu Yusheng didn't think that a woman like Ning Deyin would be willing to live in the concubine.What's more, Ning Shao has always kept Wang Gulin at arm's length, how could he tolerate his daughter getting involved with King Yu.

After hearing this, Chen Xin just lowered his head in thought, and set his eyes on his test basket.

Suddenly, he put down the test basket, squatted down and took out all the food from Ning Deyin, and then broke it in half one by one.

Seeing this, Liu Yusheng felt distressed: "What is this for?"

Chen Xin carefully observed the insides of those snacks and said: "I have already made King Yu dissatisfied with my success in suppressing the bandits, but we have offended his father-in-law, Wang Gulin, and King Yu is arrogant and arrogant. If you have the opportunity, how will you retaliate against me?"

Li Xiruo looked at him and said, "So you suspect that he wants to use Ning Deyin's hands to make a fuss about dim sum."

Chen Xin nodded: "Before entering the examination room, these snacks will be opened to see if there is anything hidden in them. I haven't had any contact with Ning Deyin for so long. Now that she brings these, maybe she stuffed them with paper. Article, want me to be punished for fraud."

After all, the same was true for the last provincial examination. If he hadn't been lucky that time, he might have stopped there.What's more, he had already had some doubts about Ning Deyin's sudden overture just now, and he had to watch Li Xiruo even more when he talked about King Yu.

After hearing this, Liu Yusheng quickly took out the plate of snacks that Luyao gave him in the food box, and checked carefully, he didn't want to ruin his reputation because of his appetite.

But they opened up all the food and found no suspicious traces. Chen Xin frowned and looked at Li Xiruo.

Li Xiruo stared at him and said, "I don't believe she didn't do anything, just to send you these meals."

Chen Xin didn't know what to do. The Ning Deyin he knew before was not a person who would use such tricks, but if she was with King Yu, she had no intentions, so there was no guarantee that King Yu would not.

Liu Yusheng looked at the crumbs all over the floor, and felt a little distressed, when suddenly a wild dog came running from a distance, grabbed a few pieces of dried meat, and started eating in the corner.

Liu Yusheng pointed at the dog angrily: "You should leave us a piece anyway, why did you take it all away?"

The dog was grinding the jerky with its sharp teeth, but after a while, it collapsed to the ground limply and started whimpering.

Liu Yusheng was stunned with an angry face, and looked at Chen Xin at a loss: "Are these things poisonous?"

Chen Xin looked at the dog that had collapsed on the ground, and held his hand tightly, anger crawled all over his body, and he kept suppressing it so tightly that he did not burst out.After a long time, he sneered and said, "I didn't know that she was so vicious. She wanted to harm me like this just to be with King Yu and show her loyalty to him."

Although Chen Xin didn't have any love for Ning Deyin, he still had friendship. He never thought that she would almost ruin his life.He paid such a high price to get here, he almost couldn't enter the Gongyuan because of this woman.

Li Xiruo frowned and said, "It shouldn't be like this."

The Ning Deyin she chose was one in a million. It is impossible for her to be so greedy for power and vanity, let alone to kill Chen Xin just to be with another person.

Chen Xin snorted coldly: "There's nothing wrong with it. It's not unimaginable for people to use all means to climb up the ladder. It's just that she's too confused. Even if she climbs up to King Yu, she's just a side concubine."

Li Xiruo knew the feeling of being betrayed was uncomfortable, she glanced at the increasing number of candidates in front of the Gong Yuan, and said to Chen Xin and Liu Yusheng: "You go in first, I will investigate this matter clearly."

However, Chen Xin didn't want her to participate in this matter: "She has King Yu as her backing, so don't take risks. What she did is nothing but revenge for my previous mistakes. After I finish the exam, I will naturally ask her to explain it clearly."

Liu Yusheng looked at the mess all over the floor, and asked Chen Daodao: "Then what about your dry food?"

Fu Wanying ran over at the right time, panting with a big bag, "Just now Mr. Li asked me to prepare some dry food for me to take to the Gongyuan. Didn't you all bring everything with you? Why do you still need these things?"

Chen Xin couldn't help laughing, Li Xiruo could always figure out the next two or three things and solve his predicament in time.

He took the rations and stepped into the tribute courtyard with Liu Yusheng. For the past three days, they had to stay in the examination shed for eating, drinking and drinking, and were not allowed to step out of the tribute courtyard.

After Li Xiruo saw them go in, he wrapped some food from Ning Deyin in linen cloth and went to the pharmacy to let them see what kind of medicine was inside.

The only thing that is fortunate is that it is not poison, but some sweat medicine, which makes people fall asleep immediately after eating. Although it is not fatal, but for Chen Xin, if he can't participate in the test this time, he will not be selected for this reason. , would be more uncomfortable than letting him die.

But if Li Xi didn't understand the reason why Ning Deyin suddenly changed his temper, he would not hesitate to set him up and ruin Chen Xin's life.

Chen Xin stepped into the examination booth at this time, took a deep breath, spread out the rice paper, and rubbed the ink on it. Since some people wanted him to be eliminated directly in this examination, he wanted to take the first place in the examination, and let these people It's hard to get what you want.When he is named on the gold list in the future, these people will have to pay the price for everything he has done to him.
