Chapter 150 Sister and brother meet
Chu Chenfeng had just returned to the palace when Xingyi followed closely behind.
"Have you explained?"
“······Yes.” Xing Yi seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Chu Chenfeng was leaning on a recliner with his eyes closed, but his fingers were tapping rhythmically, indicating that he was thinking about something at the moment.
"master······"
"explain."
"Ms. Li is our future princess after all. Are you..." too harsh today?
Chu Chenfeng opened his eyes and stared at him steadily, causing Xingyi's back to get wet instantly. "Yes...I overstepped my bounds."
Chu Chenfeng stood up slowly, "Keep an eye on him for the next two days, don't let any more accidents happen."
"Yes."
"Have you arranged everything for tomorrow?"
"If the news spreads out, everyone in Kyoto will know about it tomorrow, but..."
"explain."
"You did not provide any evidence of leaking the test questions, so Zhang Zheng was only guilty of negligence..."
"Zhang Zheng is still of some use to me, so I'll keep him for now. However, I don't want the Prime Minister's faction to interfere in the imperial examination. This is a good opportunity for the emperor to cultivate new forces."
"Yes."
The two were talking when the voice calling for help was heard outside again.
"Brother, I was wrong. Please let me go... I am thirsty and hungry now. Do you really want to kill me?"
He Tian was acupunctured and could only hang upside down on the tree. He looked wilted and there was no trace of his usual wild and arrogant self.
"My master told me not to tell you. If you have the guts, go find him. Don't take your anger out on me."
"Besides, I see that you and Junior Sister Xiaojiu get along pretty well. Why don't you agree?"
"Brother, my dear brother, please, your brother is about to collapse. He is dizzy and weak. He will soon meet the King of Hell."
“Senior brother? Senior brother?…”
"Hey, someone come quickly..."
When Chu Chenfeng was not around, He Tian didn't make a fuss and never wasted any energy. But as soon as Chu Chenfeng came back, he started.
Chu Chenfeng rubbed his eyebrows and gave Xingyi a look, and the other party immediately went out and put He Tian down.
"Oh, no, my legs are too weak. Xingyi, please carry me on your back."
"Hey? Xingyi, why are you so inhumane? Come back?"
"Like master, like subordinate. Alas..."
Chu Chenfeng was angry, "If you say anything more, you can stay on the tree."
As soon as he finished speaking, the noise outside the door stopped immediately, and He Tian fled away without even daring to enter the house.
Xing Yi saw that Chu Chenfeng didn't seem to have any more instructions, so he left.
Chu Chenfeng looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and Li Mulan's little face appeared unconsciously in his mind. If he had to marry a woman, she seemed to be a good choice. At least, he wouldn't be bored anymore...
The next morning, the whole of Kyoto was in an uproar.
The imperial examination has not yet begun, but students from all over the country have already rushed to Kyoto. Most of them have already settled down and are waiting for the exam to begin.
However, at this time, news came out that the exam questions had been leaked. The students were very angry and gathered at the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture early in the morning, wanting to get to the bottom of the matter.
The court was in chaos today. When the court was dismissed, Prime Minister Xu Tianqi's face turned green. He couldn't understand why people who usually kept silent suddenly changed their ways and opposed him today? For no reason, the cripple who had just returned had taken advantage of him.
Li Cong was pushed by Li Yi to attend court today. After all, today was his first day back in the court and he could not be absent.
Of course, he was ridiculed by the prime minister and his group for his appearance, but who is Li Cong? Can he be defeated by a few mocking and slanderous words?
As the conversation went on, the group felt that it was boring and left one after another.
The more Xu Tian thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he went straight to the imperial study to find the little emperor.

At the Li Mansion, Long Yi's younger brother woke up before dawn. Li Mulan did not go to check on him. She handed the prescription and precautions to Qingyu, and hurriedly took Zhang out, as she had an appointment today.
"Mom, I still have a lot of things to do. Where are you taking me?" Zhang looked puzzled. Today, her father-in-law and husband went to court early in the morning, and she began to arrange people to clean up the Taifu Mansion and prepare to move.
After moving back to the Taifu Mansion, they had to prepare a banquet for guests. There were really a lot of trivial things to do, especially since it was the first time for Zhang to do it independently, so she was very nervous.
"Oh, mother, you have to relax for a while. You can't stay in the house all the time. Have you been out of the house in the past few days since you came back?"
Zhang was stunned. Indeed, she had not yet...
"That's fine. Lan'er heard that the food at Lanyue Tower in Kyoto is good. Let's go there for dinner today." The most important thing is that it doesn't cost any money, and the box is soundproof, making it convenient for conversation, hehehe.
"Okay, okay, if you want to go, let's go together."
When they arrived at the back door of Lanyue Tower, the waiter had already been instructed by the shopkeeper to wait there. He even gave him a portrait and asked him to keep an eye on it at all times.
So, as soon as Li Mulan and Zhang appeared, he recognized them.
"But Miss Nine?"
Li Mulan nodded, "Have you arranged the private room?"
The waiter nodded and bowed, "It has been arranged, and the guests have arrived. I will take you there right away."
Zhang was confused. How did the guest come in through the back door?
"Lan'er, did you make an appointment with someone else? Does mother know them?"
Li Mulan smiled and said, "Of course it's someone mother is familiar with, don't worry."
In order to avoid being noticed, they did not go through the main entrance. Fortunately, it was Sixth Senior Brother's shop and the arrangements were safe, so they felt more at ease.
Zhang patted her lightly and said, "Girl, why didn't you tell me earlier? I haven't even packed up to change clothes. Will the guests laugh at me like this?"
"Oh, mother, you are already very beautiful, you look radiant even without any makeup."
Li Mulan did not lie to Zhang. Zhang had a good foundation. Although she had worked hard in Mobei for so many years and her skin was rough, Li Mulan had taken good care of her these days and she was in very good condition now. She was wearing a dark purple dress today, which made her look very elegant and even a little bit romantic. She looked very beautiful.
Zhang's face turned red. "You kid, you are always so good at coaxing me. I am already old."
"No way, she's still so young."
The two of them were talking when they arrived at the door of the box. The waiter left after receiving Li Mulan's signal, and Li Mulan knocked on the door.
The door was soon opened from the inside, revealing a face covered with a beard. Zhang quickly took two steps back when she saw it. How could it be a man?
Li Mulan hurriedly comforted him, "Don't be nervous, mother. Take a closer look. Who is this person?"
Zhang frowned, but she believed her daughter and looked up carefully.
The other person's eyes were already red at this moment, and he couldn't utter a word.
Zhang watched, her eyes suddenly widened, and she covered her mouth in disbelief, "You..."
