Chapter 88 The bargaining chip that made her heart beat
"Young master." As soon as Xiao Li left, shopkeeper Jiang hurried upstairs: "What did that person say?"
Now only the two of them know that she is the princess. The young master's family has encountered obstacles everywhere, and only the princess has a chance.
There was a lot of talk outside about the princess killing her husband, and they all said that Princess Xuanyang was a crazy snake and scorpion princess, but if the princess was really the person they saw, then the rumors were not credible now.
There must be something hidden, but for some reason no one from the princess or the royal family explained it.
Song Junzhan frowned slightly: "She wants a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip to make her heart beat."
"Besides money, I can't think of anything else I have, and as a princess, she has all these."
He wanted to impress the princess, and he could tell a lot about the imperial examination without any drafts. He believed that a knowledgeable woman like the princess would understand the meaning of what he said, but she did not mention that and gave him some advice. a problem.
If you think about it carefully, no matter how good you are in the imperial examination, it has nothing to do with the princess. He knew that this road was dangerous, but he wanted to bring the princess with him. He only relied on enthusiasm and empty words. It was really presumptuous.
But he really needed her help, and his instinct told him that she would definitely be able to help.
So, what is it that makes her excited?
Shopkeeper Jiang also felt distressed. She was a princess, so what was wrong with her?
Suddenly, the look on Miss Xiao's face as she looked at his young master's house at the door flashed through his mind. How should I put it, at first glance it was just a shallow smile, but if he thought about it carefully, he felt that there was some unspeakable meaning in her smile.
The shopkeeper looked at the young master with a strange expression, hesitated to speak, and finally just muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "Who said there are no chips."
His young master also has a good face, and many girls blushed when they saw him.
Song Junzhan: "What are you talking about?"
Shopkeeper Jiang shook his head violently: "Nothing."
Although what the Shaodong family does is very important, the Shaodong family must not be allowed to sacrifice their appearance.
This kind of thing that damages one's moral integrity is absolutely unacceptable.
Well, although Princess Xuanyang is indeed beautiful, to be honest, the young host's family does not suffer at all.
Hiss. No, the more he thinks about it, the more something is wrong. There is something wrong with his brain.

Xiao Li had been awake for several days. The emperor finally remembered her and called her to enter the palace.
This time the emperor was calm and did not rush to greet her. Instead, he sat on a chair and waited for her to salute.
At this moment, the emperor's face was glowing and he was proud of himself. It was particularly fascinating to think about the feeling of being completely in power. I heard that he had recently taken in two concubines.
Xiao Li was in coma this month, but he was living a good life.
"Xuan Yang, you are here. Are you feeling well?"
He asked with a concerned smile.
Xiao Li nodded: "Nothing serious."
The emperor nodded: "That's good. You were suddenly unconscious for so long, which scared me a lot."
Xiao Li: I can’t tell.
The emperor waved to her: "Come here."
Xiao Li walked over in confusion, and the emperor took out an edict: "Look at this."
Xiao Li opened it and found a reward for her inside. She was a princess and her title could no longer be granted, so he gave her the two states next to her original fiefdom.
They are both on the border. It's so generous to have two places where birds don't poop.
Maybe he felt that he was indeed a little poor, so he also gave him gold and silver rewards and a hot spring villa.
"Why did the emperor suddenly give me these?"
The emperor smiled and said: "You are the hero this time. I will never treat my sister badly."
Xiao Li accepted with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor didn't know whether he was holding back or something, but he insisted on dragging Xiao Li to chat. In fact, he was just listening to his bragging.
He said that he let the Lu family go out of consideration of benevolence and righteousness, and that he wanted to be a benevolent king who repays evil with kindness. He said that the court was now under control, and he kept his word and enforced the orders.
He said that the world was at peace, and he lived up to the teachings of the late emperor.
Xiao Li: "."
What crime had she committed that she had to be here to listen to this idiot bragging?
Every minute and every second is torture.
When he stopped to drink tea, Xiao Li pretended to be casual and asked: "What does the emperor think of the imperial examination?"
The emperor, who looked happy just now, suddenly turned cold: "Why are you bringing this up?"
Is this attitude a bit strange?
Xiao Li: "I accidentally turned over a book and saw that the previous emperor had initiated the imperial examination, and all students in the world could participate. I wanted to ask, why can't this matter be mentioned?"
The emperor's expression softened a little: "Just tell me to forget it, but don't go out and talk about the past."
"You are young and don't know that there was a group of remnants of the previous dynasty who wanted to revive the imperial examination. My father became very angry about this and killed many people."
Xiao Li: "Isn't it a good thing for the emperor to choose capable children from poor families?"
The emperor angrily scolded: "You don't understand government affairs, so don't talk nonsense, otherwise don't blame the emperor for being unkind."
Xiao Li shut up. She was stupid and tried to tell him these things.
The emperor was like a beast that had just been released from its cage. He felt that everything in the world belonged to him. At this moment, his control over the affairs of the court had reached its peak, and he did not want to make any changes at all.
Maybe he also looks down on those poor families.
Arrogant and willful, his knowledge determines that he will never see the shortcomings of aristocratic families in power.
——
It was already two hours later when Xiao Li finally came out of the imperial study. God knows how many shocks she had suffered in the past two hours, and she was already haggard.
His eyes glanced at the purple-robed eunuch at the door, and he suddenly asked: "Why don't you see Eunuch Zhangxiang?"
The middle-aged eunuch looked up and was a little surprised: "Princess Qizhen, this servant is Mr. Zhangxiang."
Xiao Li was silent for a moment: "I'm asking about Lou Xiang."
The man seemed to have just remembered that the princess had been in a coma for a month and did not understand the affairs of the palace.
"Back to the princess, Eunuch Lou is now the master of the palm seal. As for what he is doing, I don't know."
Lou Xiang became the Palm Print Supervisor?
Xiao Li raised his eyebrows, he really did it.
The eunuch asked: "Can I send a message to you?"
Xiao Li shook his head: "No, I just asked casually."
Xiao Li really just asked casually, but the emperor was surrounded by Lou Xiang's eyes and ears, and the news soon reached the Shenxing Department.
Before the messenger went in, the strong smell of blood almost made him vomit. When he lowered his head, he saw that he had already stepped on sticky black blood. This month, the Criminal Division had been bleeding like a river.
I am extremely glad that I decisively chose Eunuch Lou, otherwise he would have had to lie down and get out.
Avoiding the blood pool and walking in, it was dark inside, with bloody people hanging on the shelves side by side, which made people tremble with fear and make their hairs stand on end.
He suppressed his fear and walked to the innermost place, only to see a familiar dark clothes, with dark jacquard patterns shining with a bloody sheen.
"My Lord, Princess Xuanyang stayed with Your Majesty for two hours after entering the palace. She asked about Your Majesty when she just left."
In a dark corner where the sun never shines, a pair of sinister eyes slowly opened.
I still feel like writing about a building, I want to climb the wall and begonia, but the writing is not coquettish enough, alas╮(╯▽╰)╭Sorry
