    ?

    The cicadas were singing, and the sun was scorching hot, making people's skin sore.  Only the shady part of the water pavilion still has a bit of coolness, and the air is filled with the fragrance of lotus, which makes the burning heat disappear.

    Cheng Wenwen and another student had finished consulting, and the prince answered them one by one.  The queen leaned on the railing and threw the fish food in her hand into the lotus pond from time to time, attracting a large group of silver and red carp to scramble for it.

    Seeing that Jiang Yan remained silent for a long time, Empress Zhang finally turned her gentle and delicate face, and asked, "Jiang Yan, you are the top one this time, so don't you have anything to ask?"

    Between light and shadow, Jiang Yan wore a plain Confucian uniform, and the hairband behind her head was fluttering in the wind. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and smiled, "Go back to your mother, what the students want to say, no one else can hear you."

    Hearing this, Prince Zhu Wenli's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Jiang Yan worriedly.

    The queen's expression showed no joy or anger. Hearing the words, she pondered for a moment, poured all the bait in her hand into the pool, and said softly: "You all step back."

    Cheng Wenwen bid farewell to another student, and the maids also retreated, leaving only the queen, Zhu Wenli and Jiang Yan in the water pavilion.

    The fish ate all the bait and left without hesitation, only the upright lotus leaves swayed slightly under the scorching sun, and the hotter it was, the greener it became.  Not long after, the queen spoke first, with a weak voice, and said: "I know what you want to say, but I have to remind you that the matter of Ruan Yu was an accident, and it can only be an accident."

    "Ever since we entered the Imperial College, we have been on the cusp of the storm. Ruan Yu has suffered more than me because of her flirtatious figure. The student who won the first prize today is not asking for fame or profit, but to ask his mother to return Ayu.  Fairness." After finishing speaking, Jiang Yan folded her sleeves and bowed, watching the sparkling water rippling on the queen's embroidered shoes, she said firmly, "Dali Temple closed the case so hastily and shielded the criminals, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people in the world? If one day  When Ayu wakes up, have you ever thought about how she would feel?"

    "Jiang Yan, you are so smart, can't you see that this palace is protecting Ruan Yu's innocence!" The queen stood up slowly, her face was not as gentle and indifferent as before, and she said in a low voice, "I am also a woman, so I naturally know that fame is important to women.  What does it mean? If everyone knows that Ruan Yu suffered this catastrophe because of a private meeting with a man, what do you make the Ruan family think?  ?¡±

    Jiang Yan closed her eyes and straightened up, "So, the empress admits that Ayu was killed by Xue Rui?"

    The queen didn't answer, but said: "Do you really want to chase after me so hard?"

    Jiang Yan shook her head with a smile, the gauze tie around her waist fluttered in the wind, and asked loudly, "Have you ever heard of the story of "The Yue People Lost the Beautiful Jade"?"

    The queen narrowed her long and narrow phoenix eyes, and said nothing, as if she wanted to see what kind of tricks she was playing.

    Jiang Yan raised her head slightly, and said to herself: "The people of Yue have beautiful jade. They cover it in their arms and go to the market. The jade is stolen. Report it to the government, and the people in the government reprimand: "It's no wonder that you have this beautiful jade and don't keep it in your house privately.  Stealing. The one who steals jade is not at fault, it should be your careless ears!'¡±

    After hearing her finish, the queen suddenly realized, "The Yue people had their beautiful jade stolen in the market. Instead of arresting the thief, the officials blamed the Yue people for not hiding the treasureJiang Yan, you are accusing me insinuatingly."  Putting the cart before the horse and not making decisions for Ruan Yu?"

    "Students don't dare to criticize the empress, they just discuss the matter." Jiang Yan said, "The empress said that the real culprit will not be punished, because she is protecting Ruan Yu's reputation, but the case of Ruan Yu is like the Yue people losing jade. The real culprit should be arrested to boost the king's prestige, but  I'm not worried that Ruan Yu didn't protect her reputation. Besides"

    Jiang Yan pursed her lips, looked at the queen whose complexion was getting colder, and finally said to the point, "You protect the Xue family, partly for Ruan Yu's sake, and partly for the prince's sake  Woolen cloth?"

    Empress Zhang slapped the railing and warned: "Presumptuous! I sent you to study, and this is how you talk to me!"

    "Mother! Mother, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so don't get angry!" Zhu Wenli on the side secretly sweated for Jiang Yan, hurriedly walked between the two, turned to Jiang Yan and said, "Jiang Yan, step back quickly."

    "Emperor, you don't have a place to intervene here!" Being poked at a sore spot, all the empress's burden of humiliation for many years broke out at this moment.  She knew that what Jiang Yan said was the truth, but she was powerless to change it. Every word and every word became a thorn in her heart, making her restless.

    The queen was short of breath, pointing at Jiang Yan and said, "Kneel down!"

    Jiang Yan didn't say much, and knelt down as she said. Although she knelt upright, her eyes were still stubborn.

    Empress Zhang took a deep breath, and when she calmed down, Fang whispered: "Jiang Yan, I will persuade you one last time, Xue and Zhang's families even have to be courteous to me and the prince, you are not a mere girl  Students can shake?Picking up the scattered pens and papers, he paused, and said as if thinking of something, "The news from the palace, the emperor has proposed marriage to Prince Yun."

    King Yun?

    It seems that the emperor really dotes on this worthless prince. Apart from asking for pills and medicines, he also doesn't forget to take care of his marriage.  After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet married a concubine, so it is not necessarily that he is in a hurry.

    Thinking of this, Jiang Yan asked casually: "Oh? Which girl is so unlucky?"

    Fu Li's gaze sank a little, and he said, "Li Chenlu, the third daughter of the uncle of Xiangcheng."

    The smile on the corner of Jiang Yan's mouth froze.  After a while, she asked: "Who is the matchmaker for King Yun?"

    Fu Li said: "Mrs. Pingjinhou, Xue Rui's mother."

    The wind blows away the dust of memory, and the truth gradually emerges.  Jiang Yan quickly realized the clue, squinting her eyes and said: "As soon as Ayu's accident happened, Li Chenlu became Princess Yun to be married, and the mediator was the Xue family. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Appearing in Ayu's room  The note in it could only have been sent in by a woman, I always thought that it was Xue Wanqing who was doing things for Xue Rui, but now it seems that there may be other clues."

    "Li Chenlu seems innocent, but actually has a vicious mind. She will use any means to achieve her goals. It's unknown if she participated in this case." Fu Li stretched out his hand and moved the copper basin with ice cubes in front of Jiang Yan, Fang said coldly, "  It's just that even Cai Fushi has no right to intervene in this case, and my official rank is low, so it is difficult to investigate thoroughly in a short time."

    Jiang Yan said: "Didn't Li Chenlu always admire the crown prince? I thought that a woman like her who is greedy for power should try her best to become the crown prince."

    "Prince Yun is playful, lustful, dull by nature, and better in control than the prince." Fu Li squinted his eyes, "This woman is not simple. If there is an intersection in the future, you have to guard against her."

    Jiang Yan nodded.

    It was almost time for lunch, Fu Li got up and let Xiao Er serve the food, and when he returned to his seat, he saw Jiang Yan with her eyes downcast and her brows slightly frowned, as if she was quite worried.

    Fu Li put a stack of bean cakes in her hand and asked, "What are you thinking?"

    Jiang Yan came back to her senses, looked at Fu Li's deep eyes, and suddenly didn't know how to speak.

    Fu Li only thought that she was complaining about Ruan Yu's matter, so he poured a cup of herbal tea and comforted him in a low voice: "You don't need to worry about Ruan Yu's matter, I'm here for everything, Xue Rui won't be at ease for long."

    "Fu Li"

    Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally interrupted him with a sigh, "Fu Li, I have decided to participate in the scientific examination."

    The clouds covered the sun, and there was a moment of darkness in the house.  In the silence, only the sound of footsteps coming and going outside the door and the sound of each other's breathing could be heard, and Jiang Yan saw her slightly disturbed face from Fu Li's light and precious eyes.

    Maybe it was a moment, or maybe it was a long time, the clouds parted, and the sun poured down on the earth again, illuminating the window lattice, and illuminating Fu Li's eyebrows.

    "If you are asking for my opinion, then let me tell you, I don't agree." He calmly put the teapot aside, looked at Jiang Yan's words and said clearly, "Everything you want, I can do it for you  It has been achieved, including severely punishing the Xue family for avenging Ruan Yu's grievances. The only thing that makes me give up the marriage contract is that I would rather die."

    His tone was too firm, and there was no room for negotiation.  Jiang Yan couldn't look directly into his eyes for a while, and sighed: "If I am not asking for your opinion, but um!"

    Come again!

    Jiang Yan opened her eyes wide, and tried to push away the young man who was clasping the back of her head and kissing her deeply, panting and mumbled: "Let go first" Before she could finish her sentence, she was blocked back again.

    "Jiang Yan, don't even think about it!" There was a cold light in Fu Li's eyes.  The last time I saw him look like this was when he was killing the enemy in Shuozhou, he was firm and powerful, as if he was invincible and omnipotent.

    He forcefully pressed Jiang Yan into his arms, lowered his head and said hoarsely in her ear: "You provoked me and promised that you will only be my wife in this life! As for the rest, you give me time,  I will do it for you."

    ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù

    A Yan: Oh, can you listen to me?  I didn't want to give up on you

    Fu Li: I don't listen, I don't listen, I don'thuh?  ?  ?  ?
