My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

Chapter 207: Dongli Kingdom's Defeat

That night, the moon and stars were sparse.

Ye Shengxin brought Zhang Xiangyun to the roof of the main courtyard of the Imperial Master's Mansion.

The entire Imperial Master's Mansion was immersed in a heavy and cold silence, without even the sound of a bird or an insect.

The eerie silence made Ye Shengxin rub his arms. Seeing Zhang Xiangyun looking at him with concern, Ye Shengxin signaled him to be quiet.

Then he quietly squatted down and lifted up a few tiles at his feet.

There was pitch black below the house. Ye Shengxin listened attentively for a long time, but there was no sound at all.

She tried throwing a small stone in, but apart from the sound of it hitting the ground, there was no response at all.

Ye Shengxin hardened his heart and asked Zhang Xiangyun to take her downstairs. The two of them blatantly opened the door to the main courtyard and walked in to take a look. As a result, there was no one in the room.

After lighting the tinder, Ye Shengxin rubbed the table lightly with his fingers. A thin layer of dust stuck to his fingertips. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time, let alone lived here.

Zhang Xiangyun guessed: "Master, is he in another courtyard? Let's go and look for him."

Ye Xingxin: "Looking for it."

The two of them searched for the person in every room, even the woodshed was checked, but they didn't see any trace of him. The huge Imperial Master's Mansion was just an empty shell.

Ye Xingxin was confused: "Ancestor, you said that the Imperial Master didn't stay in the Imperial Master's Mansion, where did he go?"

Zhang Xiangyun shook his head, looking innocent: "I don't know, save your trouble, do you still want to look for it?"

Ye Shengxin didn't say anything.

Zhang Xiangyun added: "In fact, Master Tongshan is very capable and can help you too."

"I know, but the master won't take action." Ye Shengxin knew this very well.

"Then let's..."

Ye Xingxin walked towards him and said, "Let's go back. It seems that we still have to rely on Master Zhang for the formation."

That being said, the next morning, after Ye Shengxin had a carriage take Su Yao to the free clinic that was still open, he asked for another carriage and rushed to the palace.

After Xuanyuan came down from the court, he did not leave in a hurry. He only waited in front of the Golden Palace for a quarter of an hour, and Ye Shengxin walked towards him.

Before greeting the Crown Prince, she said to the system: [Why do I feel like His Highness is waiting for me on purpose? Is it my illusion? ]

System: [Host, don't dwell on trivial matters. Your Highness' time is precious. Please get straight to the point.]

Ye Xingxin cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness, I came here to ask you about the news about the Imperial Master. Where is he (she) now?"

"It's about the game, I need to see him (her) urgently."

Elderly people?

Xuanyuan Fu laughed and said, "I don't know where the Imperial Master is, but the Imperial Master is not an old man, but a man in his prime. You and Master Ye should have been born in the same year and month."

Ye Xingxin's eyes widened: [You became the Imperial Master at such a young age? Tsk, it's really frustrating to compare yourself with others. ]

[But since he is only eighteen years old, that unlucky kid has not been in the Imperial Master's Mansion for some time. Could he have wandered around and gotten into trouble somewhere? ]

Xuanyuan Fu's mouth twitched. What Lord Ye said was actually not wrong.

Ye Xingxin: "Then I wonder if the Imperial Master left anything behind before he disappeared? Or if the Imperial Master had any books before, maybe he would let me borrow them to read?"

"The Imperial Master left nothing behind. As for writing books..." Xuanyuan Fu looked at Ye Xingxin who was looking at him eagerly, and thought of the memorial she presented, and smiled: "The Imperial Master's handwriting is ugly, and he is ashamed to see people. He never left any writings behind."

【Is that so?】

[Then this national teacher is too stingy. ]

Ye Shengxin was slightly dissatisfied.

Unable to find any solution to the problem, Ye Xingxin was ready to leave in disappointment. However, after taking a few steps, Xuanyuan Fu suddenly said, "But the Imperial Master and I have a good relationship. He once left me a life-saving motto. I wrote it down on a piece of paper. Does Lord Ye need it?"

He handed the note out.

Ye Xingxin turned around suddenly and asked, "Can I have it?"

Xuanyuan Fu didn't say anything and pretended to take the note back. Ye Shengxin hurriedly snatched the note from his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. When we win this competition, I will definitely..."

Xuanyuan Fu thought Ye Xingxin would ask to lend him the relic for a few days, but she said, "I will definitely give a share of the prize money to Your Highness."

Xuanyuan Fu: "...No need, I don't lack money."

"okay."

Xuanyuan Fu: ...

-

After the pregnant woman who had undergone cesarean section passed the critical period, Ye Shengxin also took out the Rubik's Cube.

Out of curiosity, she did not rush into the formation test given by Dongli Kingdom, but let Zhou Huaijin and other four people reassemble the Rubik's Cube in a non-destructive way under her nose.

Ye Shengxin stood on the second floor and watched Zhou Huaijin and others solve this extremely brain-intensive task, while leisurely eating the newly bought roasted chestnuts. Seeing the five people below with their brows furrowed so hard that they could pinch a fly to death, he just wanted to laugh out loud.

Then, she suffered a tragedy.

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

The chestnut got stuck in Ye Shengxin's throat and he almost choked to death. After he finally swallowed the food in his esophagus, Dong Lihuang was pushed towards him.

The time to solve the Rubik's Cube is during the day, which is five hours. Now there are only two hours left until the deadline. Dong Lihuang comes to find her, and Ye Shengxin has a bad feeling.

Fortunately, Xuanyuan Fu also came over from the box next to him.

"What is Prince Dongli planning to do?" Xuanyuan Fu's eyes fell on the thin book in Donglihuang's hand, and his gaze understood clearly.

Xuanyuan Fu was here. Dong Lihuang's plan to let Ye Shengxin become a bad mouth by studying, and then let Zhou Huaijin win, so that he could get the sarira to treat his legs and feet was shattered. He looked not optimistic.

"If Prince Xuanyuan can be here, why can't I come here?" He looked sharp.

"Of course I can come, but the gifts I brought..." Xuanyuan Fu quickly reached out and took the thing in Dong Lihuang's hand.

Inside this book made of a few thin sheets of paper was a silver note worth ten thousand taels, which was obviously intended to bribe Ye Shengxin.

Xuanyuan Fu was very direct. He took out the banknote and stuffed it into Ye Sheng's arms: "Here, this is a gift specially given to you by Prince Dongli. It would be a waste if you don't accept it."

Ye Xingxin was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic. He quickly stuffed the banknote into his sleeve and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xuanyuan Fu raised his eyebrows and tapped Ye Xingxin's head with his fan: "Thank you, but remember that it's not easy to take other people's banknotes. Don't let them sell you out."

Ye Shengxin knew exactly who Xuanyuan Fu was talking about, and quickly distanced himself from Dong Lihuang, assuring him, "Your Highness, rest assured. I will never do anything that others ask me to do, and I will never accept any gifts from others."

Xuanyuan Fu was satisfied, "That's right." He turned around and looked at Dong Lihuang's angry face provocatively, in a good mood.

The plan that he thought was easy ended up in vain. Dong Lihuang suppressed his anger and ordered the people behind him in a cold voice: "Take me away."

The attendant behind them turned the wheelchair and the two of them quickly left.

"Shengxin, do you know how to play with the Rubik's Cube made by Madam Su?" Xuanyuan Fu was very interested when he saw the people below racking their brains to restore the Rubik's Cube.

"I don't know. I don't know either. But if Your Highness wants to learn, after this game is over, Your Highness can pay Sister Su to teach you."

"Then it's settled."

Without Dong Lihuang's little plan, the five people downstairs were sweating profusely, and the results of the Rubik's Cube turning were not satisfactory. As the last incense and candle burned out, the announcer announced that Dongli Kingdom had lost this competition and the Great Zhou was to be determined.

Zhou Huaijin wiped his sweat regretfully, and after a moment he walked upstairs with the Rubik's Cube with only two faces restored, blushing and saying, "Master Ye, we lost."

Ye Xingxin smiled and nodded: "I know, if you also want to know the correct way to restore the Rubik's Cube, just like our Highness, after the competition, each of you can pay Madam Su a certain amount of silver as tuition."

As soon as Zhou Huaijin came over, Ye Shengxin knew what his purpose was.

Zhou Huaijin was delighted, and his eyes softened: "Then it's a deal. I'll come to visit you after the competition."

Zhou Huaijin was able to find out that Su Yao lived in Ye Mansion.

"it is good."

In this way, Sister Su can earn more money and buy more gold.

Isn’t this the road to wealth?
