The Old Madame had never asked about Lu Huan before, but ever since Lu Huan entered the Imperial College and became the Fifth Prince's study companion, the Old Madame would anxiously ask Lu Huan to pay respects every evening.

Naturally, she would ask about Lu Huan's relationship with the princes.

Prince Ning Fu had been in decline for a long time. In recent years, there was no one in the imperial court. It had long become a residence that none of the officials in the capital wanted to interact with.

For many years, it had been deserted and no one cared.

For the Old Madame, who had once been born in a glorious family, this was naturally something she couldn't tolerate!

Now that she finally saw some hope from Lu Huan, she began to pretend to be a good elder who cared about her grandson's studies.

She even specially opened up a garden in Prince Ning Fu called the Tranquil Garden and gave it to Lu Huan as his study.

Lady Ning and Lu Yu-an both saw the Old Madame's thoughts. They were inwardly exasperated and jealous, but they couldn't do anything to Lu Huan.

However, while Prince Ning Fu was valued by the Old Madame, there was no one outside of Prince Ning Fu.

This day, Madam King Ning saw that it began to rain under the eaves. It was the rainy season in early spring. She asked Nanny A beside her, "My father was ordered to supervise the Summer Palace in Yunzhou a few days ago. Has he come back?"

"Replying to Madame, Scholar Shangguan just returned yesterday. Because he came back late, he didn't send anyone to inform you. He went to the imperial court early this morning to meet the Emperor. Thinking about it now, he should have gone to the Imperial College to attend classes."

Lady Ning seemed to have thought of something. Her face revealed a bit of pride. Her fingernails dug into her palms as she coldly said, "Prepare the carriage for me. Tonight, I will go back to my father's place."

Su Xi accompanied Zaizai to study and attend classes at the Imperial College.

Other than grinding inkstones and setting up targets for the Fifth Prince, Zaizai's ninth-ranked study companion was quite relaxed.

Like this, they passed more than ten peaceful days.

Zaizai was unusually diligent. Other than practicing martial arts and studying until late at night, he also made use of the time to study.

At five o 'clock in the morning, before the sun had even risen, he got up and continued reading the book that he had not finished last night.

It was only when the sun rose that she hurriedly freshened up. She took a few steamed buns from the servants outside the courtyard and ate them as she walked. Then she rushed to the Imperial College to continue her studies.

For the past ten days or so, Su Xi didn't know that he woke up before the rooster crowed every morning.

It was just that every time he went online, he would see that his book had been flipped open a little more, and there were many more dense comments. He felt very strange.

Zaizai had clearly only read a third of the book last night. How did he suddenly finish it tonight?

Did he finish reading it while sleepwalking?!

Zaizai seemed to be afraid that she would be worried, so he didn't tell her. It wasn't until the weekend in Su Xi that she found out that Zaizai was actually this hardworking when he launched a surprise attack in the early morning of the game!

It made his mother feel ashamed of her inferiority!

Su Xi didn't know why Zaizai was working so hard, but he could feel that Zaizai had lost a lot of weight in the past ten days. She had become a skinny baby.

That night, she couldn't help but ask Zaizai to stop and relax. She told him to stop studying and go ride a horse outside the city.

Lu Huan felt that wisp of wind stop between his eyebrows, as if she wanted to massage his Jingming acupoint. He couldn't help but put down his book, and his ears turned red.

Previously, Lu Huan had wholeheartedly wanted to obtain more knowledge. He wanted to get rid of his predicament in Prince Ning Fu as soon as possible.

But now, he was so focused on becoming stronger as soon as possible, forgetting to eat and sleep.

He had the ability and the means to find a suitable body for her, so that she wouldn't have to float around like this one day.

Apart from that, the capital was deep and full of open and covert attacks. He needed to have enough ability to protect himself so that he could protect her in the future.

The reason why he didn't tell her about the books he read in the morning was because they were all books that talked about the Ghost Possession Technique.

Before he found the method, Lu Huan didn't want to tell her. Once he found the method, he would give her a surprise.

Of course, Su Xi didn't know that the little people in the game had already thought so far ahead. While she was doing her homework, she was still thinking about how to complete the seventh mission, which was to obtain the appreciation and support of the Zhenyuan General.

She took advantage of Zaizai's practice to walk around the streets outside the Imperial Palace to see if she could find any breakthrough points.

At that moment, she suddenly saw a group of cartoon characters near the bulletin board on the street. They were discussing the words posted on the bulletin board.

Su Xi used the advantage of playing a game to zoom in on the bulletin board. She immediately saw what was posted on it.

It turned out that because of the recent frost and drought in the north, and the neighboring countries were eyeing them covetously. The Yan Dynasty didn't have enough soldiers, so the Zhenyuan General Mansion was under orders to recruit soldiers.

Recruiting soldiers was a warning to the neighboring countries, but it was also a preparation to go and suppress the rebellion.

Once these soldiers entered the army, they would only be small soldiers and wouldn't be able to come into contact with the Zhenyuan General.

Zaizai was no longer the illegitimate son of the Prince Ning Fu of the past. Now, he was at least a secondary ninth rank study companion of the Fifth Prince. There was definitely no need for him to enter the army through this channel.

However, Su Xi still took advantage of the fact that the little cartoon characters weren't paying attention and tore off a piece of the bulletin board. She switched the scene to Zaizai's room and hurriedly slapped the bulletin board on his desk for him to see.

Zaizai stopped writing and glanced at it. "When I left school yesterday, I also heard the news that the Zhenyuan General's residence is recruiting soldiers. Recently, there have been many disasters in the Northern Region. If I want to make a name for myself, I should indeed go. This is the fastest way to establish myself in the Imperial Court.

However, the method of recruiting soldiers to enter the army camp isn't advisable. It's too much of a detour. "

Su Xi was thinking the same thing as him.

Su Xi was having a headache. He didn't know where to start with the seventh mission.

Zaizai continued, "However, a few days ago, I heard that there was a vacancy for the position of Vice-Counsellor in the Ministry of War. This position is secondary fifth rank and is very suitable.

However, the Zhenyuan General and the Minister of War don't have a good impression of Prince Ning Fu. If no one recommends him, it will be very difficult for him to enter the Ministry of War. "

Su Xi didn't expect that Zaizai hadn't been idle at all in the past ten days after entering the Imperial College. He had already gotten a general understanding of the relationships between the imperial court officials through the heirs in the Imperial College.

She couldn't help but admire him. He was so worry-free. Why did he still need her help?

"You don't have to worry. I already have a way." Lu Huan looked at the empty space in the sky with a faint smile in his eyes. "You only need to accompany —"

As if he realized that the word 'accompany' was too warm and affectionate, the youth's ears suddenly turned red and his voice stopped abruptly.

He changed his words and said, "Just stay by my side."

Although Su Xi didn't know what method he had, she was only assisting from the side during the incident at the Yong 'an Temple. The main things were done by Zaizai himself.

Therefore, Su Xi trusted Zaizai very much.

When she saw Zaizai's confident appearance, the old mother's pride suddenly rose spontaneously. Her heart also abruptly ignited with war drums.

Zaizai, hurry up and start your career!

The capital had been raining heavily for days. The greenhouse of the farm began to take effect. The crops planted there began to quickly germinate.

Su Xi would occasionally switch the interface and help turn over the soil. She would exchange some 100% effective fertilizers and other things to throw in.

Every day, the long-term worker, Wu, was amazed by why the crops in the greenhouses were growing faster than those in other farms. Therefore, he had no choice but to ask Lu Huan for some more money, and increased the number of workers from thirteen to twenty-six.

The farm was operating well. On Lu Huan's side, because of the heavy rain, he couldn't go out to ride and shoot. The subjects taught in the Imperial College had also been adjusted. Today, they were teaching court etiquette.

This class was very boring. Other than the low-key and well-behaved Second Prince and the nobles who had no choice but to come to class, the playful and lascivious Third Prince and the arrogant Fifth Prince had always skipped this class.

Although the Fifth Prince didn't come, as the Fifth Prince's study partner, Lu Huan, had to come. He would record the homework on a scroll and give it to the Fifth Prince when the time came.

The nobles and the sons of high-ranking officials who came to class were all sleeping soundly. In any case, Lu Huan of Prince Ning Fu had notes.

During this period of time, the scholars of the Imperial College all liked the Fifth Prince's study partner very much. Because of his diligence and intelligence, he was able to answer everything smoothly no matter what.

However, today's situation seemed to be slightly different.

A few nobles who were sleeping soundly suddenly heard a fierce slap on the podium. Scholar Shangguan, who was teaching etiquette, had an ashen face and said, "Lu Huan, get out of here!"

Su Xi, who was doing homework outside the screen, was also startled. What had happened?

She pulled on Zaizai's sleeve.

Lu Huan lowered his eyes and glanced at his left sleeve, indicating that it was fine.

He raised his eyes and looked at Scholar Shangguan on the podium. His dark eyes were a bit cold, but his face was expressionless. He didn't refute and directly walked out of Guang Ye Hall.

It was still raining heavily outside!

The nobles didn't know what was going on. One of them who hadn't fallen asleep whispered to the person next to him, "Scholar Shangguan said that Lu Huan handed in a blank scroll, so he was furious and punished him to go out in the rain."

"How could that be? You and I both handed in blank scrolls. Lu Huan couldn't have handed in a blank scroll.

If he had answered, the scrolls would have been perfect. "

Another person muttered strangely, "Of the two nobles who came to the Imperial College with us, one is mediocre and the other is stupid. Although their third brother is a bastard, he is more intelligent than others. Prince Ning Fu's IQ is probably all on this bastard."

One of the nobles figured out a little bit. His brain worked faster and stretched his neck to whisper to the two nobles, "You don't know, but Scholar Shangguan is the father of Prince Ning's consort — —"

"Oh." The two nobles finally reacted.

So this was a family matter.

No wonder Scholar Shangguan kept staring at Lu Huan when he came in today. His gaze was as if he wanted to skin him alive.

Although the nobles had been happily copying Lu Huan's homework recently, they couldn't say anything about this kind of thing.

Who told Lu Huan to not reincarnate well and become a concubine's son?

Sigh.

When they looked outside again, they saw Lu Huan being chased out alone. The two nobles who had called him to the brothel last time couldn't bear to see him like this.

The eaves outside Guangye Hall were extremely narrow. No matter how one stood, half of one's body would get wet.

But at this time, not a single drop of rain fell on Lu Huan.

He raised his head to take a look and saw that a huge leaf had mysteriously appeared above his head. It hung on the eaves like an umbrella, blocking all the rain above his head.

The raindrops flowed down the huge leaf, forming a line of pearls.

Lu Huan felt a steady warmth in his heart.

He took the huge leaf and explained to the empty air in a low voice, "Two days ago, Consort Prince Ning went back to her maternal home. This Scholar Shangguan is her father.

Don't hold the leaf, your hands are sore, and don't get wet. Come in. "

Lady Ning had been gnashing her teeth at the fact that Lu Huan was valued by the old madame. She wanted to find a chance to retaliate. She couldn't find a way to deal with Lu Huan for the time being, so she asked her father to do it.

Su Xi held Zaizai's left hand and indicated, "Oh, I know. I'm also squatting under the leaf."

But she was a bit depressed. Zaizai was so obedient. Why did people always think of ways to bully him?

If she hadn't gone online while doing her homework today, Zaizai would definitely have gotten wet again.

She was a bit distressed. But when she saw Zaizai's head slightly tilted up under the eaves, looking at the pouring rain, there didn't seem to be any depression on his face. Instead, it was relaxed and peaceful.

Lu Huan had been drenched countless times in the past fifteen years, but it was ridiculous and laughable to say it out loud. Today's rain made him feel happy.

He felt that the ghost was still beside him, but it seemed to be depressed because he was bullied and didn't hold his hand.

He said in a low voice, "Don't worry. I have a way. I'll tell you when I get back."

Su Xi, who was outside the screen, switched the interface to the inside of Guangye Hall. Seeing that the old man, Scholar Shangguan, was still talking about etiquette in a serious manner on the podium, she felt her stomach was full of anger. No matter what method Zaizai had, she had to teach this old man a lesson first.

Scholar Shangguan was about to teach the next part of the content when his eyebrows suddenly twitched. He felt something creak above his head.

He subconsciously raised his head, but his pupils suddenly shrank. He didn't know if the tiles above his head were on the verge of collapsing due to the continuous heavy rain. In short, it was a coincidence that the beam above his head couldn't bear the weight of the tiles.

"Bang — —" The glazed tiles suddenly fell. He was almost scared to death. He screamed and dodged to the side, but he tripped and couldn't avoid it in time. His head was full of bumps.

After the tiles fell, the heavy rain outside immediately came crashing down. In an instant, the dust of the tiles on his body was washed off and he was drenched.

He almost fainted from the impact.

This time, the drowsy nobles in Guang Ye Hall could no longer sleep. They stared dumbfoundedly at the scene in front of them.

Someone hurriedly shouted, "Quickly call the imperial physician!

Scholar Shangguan has fainted! "

Guang Ye Hall was in chaos. Lu Huan was still standing outside. Even if he didn't go in, he knew what had happened.

He tried his best to hold back his laughter, but he almost couldn't hold it in. His eyes were bright.

He had long been used to these difficulties and didn't feel humiliated. Instead, he had thought of other ways to get rid of future troubles.

But she seemed to feel especially sorry for him every time. She was especially angry for him and immediately wanted to take revenge for him.

Now that he thought about it, the two servants of Prince Ning Fu said that the kitchen was haunted and Lu Wenxiu mysteriously pushed the old madame into the stream. She was probably the one who taught those people a lesson for him.

Lu Huan felt some warmth in his heart. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Are you on my left or right?"

After Su Xi dealt with the old man who bullied Zaizai, she switched the screen to the outside of Guang Ye Hall. Seeing Zaizai ask her this, she casually pulled Zaizai's left hand.

Then she saw Zaizai switch the huge leaf from his right hand to his left and pushed it to the left. It was as if the two of them were really standing under an umbrella.

She, "…"

Poor Zaizai, his old mother wasn't under the umbrella.

Zaizai looked to the left, as if he was staring at someone who didn't exist.

For some reason, as if he felt that he was too close, his ears gradually turned red.

Thus, he tensed up and his little feet quietly moved to the right.

Then he raised his head and puffed out his chest, doing his best to make his side profile more handsome.

Su Xi, "…"

In this way, Zaizai accidentally had half his sleeve soaked in the rain, but he didn't care.

Su Xi was a little worried. When they were asking and answering questions earlier, she accidentally misled Zaizai and made him think that she was a ghost that accompanied him by his side.

At first, Su Xi didn't think much of it. In any case, she was indeed always by his side. Inside and outside the screen, she was no different from a ghost.

But recently, Su Xi quietly discovered that Zaizai had begun to flip through some books on "Asking Gods by Divination". It seemed that he was trying to find a way to host her …

When Su Xi saw this, he was shocked.

He was happy now because he still had hope in his heart. He thought that one day, she would appear in front of him.

But if there came a day when he realized that this was impossible, would all of his desires be shattered?

Su Xi was a little uneasy, but he tried not to think about it. There were more important things to do at the moment.

Scholar Shangguan and Consort Prince Ning were in cahoots. She was afraid that they wouldn't let it go so easily. And Zaizai's seventh mission to gain the appreciation of the Zhenyuan General hadn't been settled yet. There were still a lot of things to deal with.

She waited for Zaizai to finish school and returned to the courtyard with an oil-paper umbrella. She hurriedly spread out the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table. Then she tugged at Zaizai's sleeve, meaning to ask him what he meant when he said he had a way at the Imperial College.

He hurriedly told her.

Lu Huan wrote the words "Shangguan", "Liu Province", and "Yun Province" on the paper. He said to his side, "Do you know what Scholar Shangguan did when he took up a position at the Imperial College?"

Su Xi didn't know. She planned to open the system to check, but Zaizai continued, "He was originally the head of the Ministry of Works. Three months ago, The Emperor wanted to see the snow in Yun Province and ordered him to go to Yun Province to supervise the construction of the imperial palace."

"Yun Province is a place covered in snow all year round. It wouldn't take more than three months to build the imperial palace.

And when he returned to the capital, he ordered people to send some of Yun Province's specialties to Prince Ning Fu for Lady Ning. "

Su Xi was confused. She didn't know what the connection was, but she continued to listen to Zaizai's analysis on the screen.

Zaizai's dialog box continued to pop up. He said, "It's a big deal that he went to build the imperial palace. He'll be rewarded by the imperial court and might even be promoted in the future. If he came back with some extravagant jewelry and jewelry, it would be in line with Lady Ning's family's style.

But he only sent a box of Yun Province's specialties. "

Su Xi understood. There must be something fishy going on.

Zaizai came to a conclusion and said, "There's only one reason. He must have embezzled some money from the Yun Province's imperial palace project. That's why he didn't want to act ostentatiously.

Although we don't know how much he embezzled, Shangguan Guan is definitely not clean. "

However, Su Xi thought, even if there was this speculation, how could they use this matter to kill Shangguan Guan Guan in the imperial court?

As if guessing the doubts in her heart, Zai Zai continued, "This matter naturally cannot be handled through my hands. If I were to inform the Fifth Prince, with the Fifth Prince's nature, he would definitely immediately inform the Emperor to investigate.

If I tell the Second Prince, with the Second Prince's twisted personality, this matter will definitely drag on for several months.

That way, sooner or later, people will know that I was the first to suspect the Shangguan family.

We need to borrow the hand of someone who urgently needs to make a big contribution to turn the tables.

Quick, ruthless, and accurate. "

Su Xi thought, Zaizai had only interacted with the princes for a few days, but he had a clear understanding of each prince's temperament.

And this matter definitely couldn't have anything to do with Zaizai. Someone had to discover this matter.

Zaizai pointed at the two words "Liu Province" on the paper and smiled slightly to the side.

He said, "Liu Province is very close to Yun Province. The Grand Commandant who was demoted a few days ago was demoted to Liu Province to be the Provincial Governor.

If he starts to suspect this matter, he'll definitely investigate and go to Yun Province. It'll only take two days for him to go back and forth. Within three days, there will be a result. "

"However, the Grand Commandant Of Cloud definitely won't go to Yun Province for no reason. If we rashly write a letter to inform him, with his suspicious personality, he won't believe it either.

We still need a way to lure him to Yun Province. "

"Compared to him, his youngest son, Yun Xiupang, isn't very smart. If we write a letter to lure Yun Xiupang to Yun Province and then let the Grand Commandant Of Cloud know that his son has arrived in Yun Province, he'll definitely go pick him up."

"At that time, we just need to make the palace collapse slightly and he'll be able to discover this matter himself."

"Once he discovers this matter, for the sake of this merit and for the sake of restoring his position, he'll definitely rush back to the capital to report this matter.

If there are no omissions, the Grand Commandant Of Cloud will be reinstated and Scholar Shangguan will be demoted. "

"When the Grand Commandant Of Cloud is reinstated, he'll recall and perhaps only then will he wonder why Yun Xiupang was summoned to Yun Province by a letter impersonated by him.

However, by that time, he'll have already benefited from me. Even if he knows that it was us who did it, he won't do anything. "

Su Xi's eyes lit up as she listened. However, she knew that Zaizai's choice of the Grand Commandant Of Cloud was definitely not just to kill two birds with one stone!

There must be other reasons!

As expected, she heard Zaizai say, "In addition, the Grand Commandant Of Cloud is a first-rank official of the Privy Council Martial Arts and is in charge of the Ministry of War. He can find a hundred reasons to insert me into the vacant position of Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of War.

At that time, he'll be reinstated and we'll also get what we want. Isn't it the best of both worlds? "

In this way, Su Xi's dilemma of how to let Zaizai complete the seventh task and get close to the Zhenyuan General also had a preliminary solution!

She simply wanted to applaud Zaizai from outside the screen!

Zaizai's plan was much more perfect than she had imagined.

At this moment, Su Xi felt a little excited about doing something big and openly plotting.

Previously, when she obtained the farm and the house, she only felt a sense of satisfaction like a hamster hoarding things. However, now she felt the excitement of playing a game. Once she succeeded, the Grand Commandant Of Cloud might be in the list of people Zaizai made friends with.

In the future, when Zaizai regained his status as a prince, the Grand Commandant Of Cloud would probably stand behind Zaizai.

Her heart was beating like a drum. After discussing the countermeasures with Zaizai — of course, it was almost all Zaizai's analysis. She listened and took notes from time to time —

She and Zaizai split up.

She had already unlocked the Imperial Palace section and obtained the handwriting of the Grand Commandant Of Cloud when he previously wrote.

Zaizai imitated the Grand Commandant Of Cloud's handwriting and wrote a letter to Yun Xiupang, saying that the Grand Commandant Of Cloud wanted to see him and asked him to go to Yunzhou as soon as possible.

Then, when Yun Xiupang went to the Imperial College, she put the letter into Yun Xiupang's bag.

Now Su Xi understood why there was a side quest to save Yun Xiupang a few days ago.

Obviously, if Zaizai showed up at that time, he would naturally get some information about the Grand Commandant Of Cloud from Yun Xiupang.

However, the exchange might be that Zaizai would be hated by the two princes.

However, it was obvious that Zaizai was very smart. Even if he didn't get any information from Yun Xiupang, he could still think of a way that the game had set for him.

During this period of time, Zai Zai had been studying and practicing at night. In terms of physical strength, she had already accumulated one point. In terms of martial arts and military strategy, she had also accumulated one point. These two points allowed Su Xi to accumulate 40 points. She had just unlocked Yunzhou.

Zaizai had already asked Chang Gongwu to secretly buy someone to find a way to cause some trouble in the completed palace when the Grand Commandant Of Cloud arrived in Yunzhou two days later.

However, Su Xi was still worried. She specially changed the scene to Yunzhou and helped.

And then …

Su Xi rubbed her hands excitedly and waited for the results.

Five days later, Su Xi was just finishing school. Lu Huan was doing an exam at the Imperial College when a major event came from the imperial court.

It was said that the former Grand Commandant Of Cloud rushed back from Liuzhou. After a secret conversation with The Emperor, he reported that Yunzhou's Governor, Shangguan Xueshi, was corrupt and had embezzled money. The Emperor investigated thoroughly and found that it was true.

The Emperor was furious.

In one day, the Grand Commandant Of Cloud made a great contribution and was reinstated. Shangguan Xueshi was imprisoned. His two sons were implicated and were banished to Yuanzhou County.

His daughter, Consort Prince Ning, had been married for many years and was forgiven by The Emperor. She was not punished for the time being.

When this news came, the students of the Imperial College who were still taking the exam were shocked and talked about it.

It was raining heavily outside the window. Lu Huan's expression did not change as he continued to answer the exam.

However, Su Xi, who had just finished school, was so happy that she almost jumped up on the bus. The major event was a success!

Her sense of participation was extremely strong!

She quickly turned on the screen and excitedly pulled Zaizai's collar.

Lu Huan was still answering the exam when he suddenly felt his collar being pulled.

He smiled helplessly.

He stopped writing. His dark eyes were bright. He raised his head and looked out the empty window as if he was looking at the person beside him.

Although he was happy that everything went smoothly according to plan, what made him happier was that the person beside him was happy.

The road was long and lonely with no end in sight. Lu Huan never thought that he would have a bright light to accompany him.

Now … he had it.
