Brother Kong Lian, Brother Shaohua, we'll see when you guys get dragged into the government field by your old man. Song An is the best, you don't need to work to get a title, my father already said that he would not care about my life once I have a solid footing in the Ministry of Rites and started collecting salaries, he even said that he wanted me to go to his own house.
Upon hearing these words, Kong Lian looked as if he had nothing more to say. ”Saying yes is already much better than me. Your family has even borrowed your connections with the Ceremony Department. My family's old man actually wants me to participate in this year's Imperial Examinations!” If you don't do well in the exam, then throw me into Xu Qi College. How am I made for reading! ”
Ah, no wonder there was something wrong with him from the start. He wasn't afraid of the beating, but because of this …
Many examinees had already entered the capital, looking at those rich and talented people, and then looking back at the mud on the walls that their own families could not support, not to mention that they were not young either. It was time to do what he needed to do.
Kong Lian's father, Master Kong, had always been strict with himself. Even if he had condoned his son because of Madam Kong, he would never give him the chance to go through the back door in the future.
Ji Shaohua did not feel bad about that at all. On the contrary, he finally got rid of his trance, clenched his fist and said seriously, ”My father said that my martial arts is at a small level and I can throw it into the army camp. I will try my best!”
Everyone looked at each other and remained silent. They all thought that this child was stupid.
Alright, let's get down to business, ”Song An interrupted them as he spoke,” We came to find you because we wanted to know if Shen Yin had anything to do with the incident at the palace yesterday. ”Fine, let's get down to business,” Song An interrupted them as they expressed their confusion over the future.
Gu Yan gave Lu Jinsheng a meaningful ”oh” and clicked his tongue, saying, ”Brother Chu is Shen Yinshui's fan after all. If you were to say that Brother Shen's painting skills are superb, then you would be unrivalled in the entire Liang Jing City. If you were to disappear just like that … ”Hehe, it's indeed a pity.”
Gu Yan gave them a 'you know I know everybody knows' look before smiling, ”Speaking of which, could it be that you want to start by asking about the stolen items from Imperial Consort's sleeping quarters? It just so happened that the people from the Jing Zhao Estate came to investigate the origins of that item. I was busy stealthily listening in to some of it, so it is very beneficial for Brother Shen. ”
He crooked his fingers at them, asking them to come closer and form a circle. He whispered to them, ”That thing is a ball like ornament, but it is angular and is not a real ball. It is made up of some ruby, sapphire, emerald …”
”You all know that my eyes are only focused on seeing precious stones and antiques, so I don't understand much of it. It was said that it was very pretty, so His Majesty casually gifted it to the Imperial Concubine.”
”Imperial Concubine saw the happiness and often played with it in her hands. At night, she slept on the bed, but when she lost it yesterday, Imperial Concubine put it by her pillow, so …”
Thus, the thief not only entered the Imperial Consort's sleeping quarters, but also climbed onto the bed of the Imperial Consort …
He was simply insane!
A thief had entered the harem as though it were no one's place, and had even climbed onto the Empress's bed. Although he had only lain down for a short while …
If the Emperor could endure this, he might really turn green next time.
