The more Sun Mumu thought about it, the more unwilling he was, so he simply went home to change his clothes and went to Princess Lu's mother's house, Yuan Xiang Mansion.

Let’s talk about Gu Xi following Ye Xichao onto the carriage, a man in green who was mixed in the crowd also rode on the horse tied behind the large screen wall in front of Shuntian Prefecture’s yamen and quickly left.

After the man left, those who were doing business around the prefectural yamen, who passed by and joined in the fun, or entered the yamen to do business, also dispersed in groups of three or three to the direction where the horse disappeared.

It was not until this time that Ning Qi, who was tortured by the siege to help Gu Xi block the board, came late.

He looked embarrassed, without Ning's carriage, nor did he ride a horse, and he was a little lame when walking. I think it was because he was walking all the way, but he was sweaty in his face in this cold winter, his hair was a little messy, his lower corner of the long gown was dirty, and there were also dirty marks on the knees of the long gown. It must have been caused by falling on the road.

After the snow stops, it is time to melt, and the road must be muddy.

At that time, he worked so hard to arrive at Shuntian Mansion, but found that everything had ended, and Gu Xi was taken away by Prince Lu in the church.

He breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the steps at the yamen gate, gasping for breath, and was extremely depressed.

For the first time, he hated his past inseparableness. He had no interpersonal relationships except learning the knowledge in those books.

He thought that the students who came out of the academy could at least help him, but he took it for granted. Even if those people could really help him, they wouldn't be able to do anything.

The Gu family affairs are really not something that ordinary people can interfere.

He wanted to use the Ning family's connections. But all of those people were ashamed of Gu's family, and he was not at ease if he used it.

For this reason, he decided to participate in the imperial examination in February and received the support of his family. Ning Huo also personally came forward to help him fill the quota.

As a man, he can't speak without any power. He has to stand at a higher position and use his own abilities to protect the people he wants to protect.

Let’s talk about Chang Yonglin who returned to the Chang family yesterday, he went back to his yard and went into the study until he stayed out in the morning.

He didn't come out by himself, but was forced to call out by his close servant.

Chang Yonglin, who had just left the study, didn't even bother to go back to the room to wash and change clothes, so he hurried out with the servant.

Halfway through, he got the news that Gu Xi had been taken away by Ye Xichao, but he didn't go back to his house, but went straight to the place where the Gu family was detained.

When I arrived at the Ministry of Justice, I found out that Gu Xi had not been sent back yet, so I didn't go in. Instead, I asked for a room in a nearby teahouse, and I had someone come to a strong tea and snacks, waiting for Gu Xi to come back.

There were also two handsome boys sitting in the room next to Chang Yonglin, Wen Jun and Zheng Ting who had returned to the capital at some time.

They arrived at the Ministry of Justice before Chang Yonglin. When they learned that Gu Xi had not come back, they found this place like Chang Yonglin.

They were talking about Gu Xi, but the shopkeeper brought Chang Yonglin up.

"Why did he come?" Wen Jun asked with a smile.

Zheng Ting clenched his fist with one hand on his chin and looked out the window without looking back: "For His Highness, Prince Lu. Didn't his cousin keep circling around the prince? I guess he heard about the matter of Shuntian Mansion and came to find Miss Gu unlucky."

Speaking of the matter of Shuntian Mansion, Wen Jun became curious again and asked: "Why did the prince do that? Didn't he deliberately cause trouble for Miss Gu?"

"The prince may not know what he has done. Miss Gu can always make people do something extraordinary without realizing it." Zheng Ting still maintained the same posture and said with his expression unchanged.

Wen Jun felt it was reasonable when he heard it. Didn’t he do a lot of stupid things? “You can’t smile? You really want to solve the problem of Miss Mulan, so why not take the imperial examination.” He was very dissatisfied with Zheng Ting’s always stern face.

Zheng Ting was unmoved and said, "Even if I pass the exam, I don't have the ability to reverse the case for Mu Lan's family. The top martial arts champion is not as good as the fifth-rank generals who come back from the battlefield. I want to join the army and just make military achievements."

Instead of relying on military service to serve as an official, he was assigned to the Imperial Guard Camp as a lieutenant based on his connections in the Zheng family, and then slowly gained his qualifications, he would rather kill him on the battlefield and make a legitimate military contribution.

"Don't take the martial arts exam. Who are you not inferior to? Why don't you participate in the literary exam? After you pass the Jinshi and strive to enter the Hanlin Academy, you may have the chance to check those documents." Wen Jun didn't want Zheng Ting to go to the battlefield.

Zheng Ting didn't say anything. He stared at the carriage that was gradually approaching on the street, thinking that Chang Yonglin's trouble was coming.

Indeed, Chang Yonglin also saw the carriage and for some reason he was a little irritated. He didn't understand why Ning Ling knew about it every time he went out and immediately followed him.

"Did you let her notify her?" Chang Yonglin glanced at the close servant with a cold look.

The servant knelt on the ground and shouted for justice, denied: "Young Master Mingjian, the young man would not dare to do that even if he borrowed a hundred courages. It might be a coincidence that Miss Ning came here. Miss Ning must have come to find Miss Gu as well."

He knew how brave his servant was, and Chang Yonglin did not suspect that the servant was innocent. He just warned the servant so that he would not make such a mistake by being careless.

While the two masters and servants were talking, Ning Ling was also brought up by someone and pushed the door open and entered directly.

Before the two had time to speak, someone came to report that Ye Xichao had already sent Gu Xi back and the carriage had just driven into the side door of the yamen.

When the two of them got up tacitly and took the people downstairs to leave. They couldn't sit still for a moment, just trying to figure out the relationship between Gu Xi and Ye Xichao.

As for Ningling, Gu Xi naturally wants to destroy whatever he owns. This has been deeply rooted since childhood.

As for Chang Yonglin, half out of curiosity, half for Sun Mumu, and the rest is his selfishness.

He hated Gu Xi so much and the Gu family, so he would definitely not want to see the Gu family turn over, so he borrowed the hand of King Ye Xichao of Lu.

King Lu is from their camp, how can he help people from the hostile camp?

Let’s talk about the reason why Gu Xi was sent back until now is because Ye Xichao couldn’t stand the dirty smell on her body, so he found an inn nearby and asked Gu Xi to wash it. He didn’t come back together by carriage until he left the smell and filth.

Ye Xichao's carriage is standard for the Lu Palace, which is both spacious and comfortable. Gu Xi swayed in the car for a while before falling asleep. Ye Xichao also looked at the sleeping Gu Xi all the way with a smile.

The carriage drove into the yamen and Ye Xichao reminded Gu Xi.

The moment he lifted the curtain, Gu Xi knew that trouble had come again. Ning Ling's look of finding trouble and Chang Yonglin's gloomy face all gave Gu Xi a headache.

If Chang Yonglin's eyes could kill people, she would be afraid that she would die as soon as she lifted the curtain.

"Prince" Chang Yonglin bowed with his hands and bowed to Ye Xichao, and Ning Ling bowed his knees.
