Li Cheng's intention was to give the real power to Li Qiao.
As a matter of fact, he was not in the mood to deal with these matters. His mind was filled with thoughts of Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu.
Furthermore, the yearly sacrifice was a very important matter. With his current situation, there was no way he could manage the safety of the city. Now that Li Qiao wanted to help him deal with it, he was more than happy to oblige.
Li Qiao had achieved his goal.
However, he felt a little guilty.
In the end, he had taken advantage of Li Cheng's trust in him!
But the most important thing now was the big picture!
He couldn't care less.
After Li Qiao took over the real power of the city department, he secretly replaced all the guards guarding the city gate with his own people.
At midnight the night before the annual sacrifice, he would secretly open the city gates and allow the troops outside to quietly enter the city.
…
Now, as Na Yan was preparing for the annual sacrifice, he had a faint premonition that something would happen.
He instructed his Dark Guard, "Go and make arrangements immediately. On the day of the annual sacrifice, have our men wait outside the city. Once they notice that something is wrong, they are to enter the city immediately."
"Yes."
"Do not leak any information."
"This subordinate understands."
Na Yan did this just in case.
But he did not know that the troops of Marquis Pingyang and the Third Prince would enter the city the night before the annual sacrifice.
On the day of the annual sacrifice, the city gates would be closed, and no one would be able to enter.
Even the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom did not know!
After these days of rest, Song Zhi's body had almost recovered.
He packed his things and planned to leave the Second Duke's Residence.
However, the maidservant of the mansion desperately tried to stop him. "Young Master Song, you can't leave now."
He hugged the bundle and said modestly and politely, "Miss, my body is much better now. I really shouldn't disturb your residence any longer."
"But His Highness has ordered that Young Master Song must stay in the mansion and not leave."
"Where is His Highness now? I will personally bid farewell to His Highness. "
"Young Master, don't make things difficult for me."
Song Zhi's face was wrinkled as he said, "I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, but I'm just a scholar. Where did I get the good fortune to stay here all this time? Miss, please don't make things difficult for me. "
The maid hurriedly said, "How could that be? Young Master saved my family's Wangye, so Wangye regards you as his benefactor and will definitely treat you well. "
Ouch!
He hurriedly waved his hand. "I don't deserve it. Please don't say that."
"Anyway, you can't leave! “
The lass tugged at his sleeve.
Song Zhi's body trembled, and his face was filled with embarrassment.
"Miss, you … let go of me first."
"If you don't leave, I'll let go."
At this moment, Na Yan arrived.
Seeing this, the little girl immediately withdrew her hand.
"Greetings, Prince."
"You may leave."
"Yes!" The maid hurriedly retreated.
Na Yan had an amiable expression on his face as he took the bundle from Song Zhi's arms and placed it on the table.
Then, he lifted his robe and sat down, pouring two hundred cups of tea.
He pushed a glass across the table.
"Young Master Song, please sit."
Song Zhi did not dare to.
Na Yan was still smiling. "You're still injured, so you can't stand for too long. Sit down. This Prince can't possibly raise his head to talk to you, right? "
When Song Zhi heard this, he quickly sat down and said, "Your Highness, this Song has already disturbed you for many days. It would be inappropriate for me to continue staying."
"You are this prince's benefactor. You can stay here as long as you want."
"I don't dare."
"There's no such thing as not daring or not! This Prince's life was saved by you. "
"Your Highness …"
"Alright, that's enough. In short, you should stay here and read in peace." Na Yan's tone was unyielding.
Song Zhi stammered, not knowing what to say.
It was a difficult situation. Yan didn't want Jing Rong to feel embarrassed and embarrassed, so he continued, "As far as this Prince knows, Teacher Ji and Young Master Jing, who used to live with you, seem to have left Gaoding. You are now injured and living alone in that house.
But, if something happens, no one will know. It's almost the New Year, you can't possibly spend it alone. Why don't you stay here and celebrate the New Year with this Prince? In any case, this Prince also spends the New Year alone. Just treat it as accompanying this Prince. "
Song Zhi was flattered. "Your Highness, this Song is only a scholar. What virtue or ability do I have?"
"Don't decline. Also, the New Year's Eve is the New Year's Festival. This Prince will bring you to the palace to have some fun. You'll also be able to meet the King first. After the first month, it will be the imperial examinations. You should understand this Prince's arrangement."
This was paving the way for him to become the top scholar!
Song Zhi was about to open his mouth to refuse …
"Well, this Prince still has things to do, so I won't disturb your rest. You can stay here peacefully."
Song Zhi's thousands of words were stuck in his throat.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
She watched Na Yan leave anxiously.
He sighed heavily.
Looking at his baggage, he didn't know what to do.
"Sigh!"
He sighed again.
He just wanted to enter the Hanlin Academy and be an upright official, but now it was obvious that he had no choice.
But who told him to save the Second Prince's life?
He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse!
…
On the other side.
Na Tuo finally finished copying the scripture.
He ordered someone to send it to the palace.
Although he was tired for a few days, his complexion was very good.
The accompanying servant said, "Your Highness, you don't seem to have rested these days. Now that the scripture is finished, why don't you take a rest?"
Speaking of this, Na Tuo also felt strange.
He went around the desk to the front, "Yes! This Prince doesn't seem to be sleepy at all these days, and is very energetic. "
"Is it the Princess's fragrance?"
"Fragrance?"
Yes, he almost forgot that he had been smelling it these days.
He walked to the incense burner, looked at it, and asked, "What does the Princess do all day?" The servant answered, "The Princess has been staying in the room. She heard that Your Highness is going to copy the scripture, so she sent several incense sticks, saying that it can help Your Highness feel refreshed. I didn't believe it at first, but now that Your Highness is so energetic, the Princess's incense must be useful.
It can be seen that the Princess cares about Your Highness … "
"Shut up!" Na Tuo suddenly turned his head and scolded.
The servant realized that he had said too much.
Quickly shut up.
Na Tuo's heart was in a mess, and he thought for a long time.
Finally, he went to Jing Xuan's courtyard.
The maidservants in the courtyard saw him and were about to salute.
He quickly raised his hand, motioning them not to make a sound.
Then he waved his hand.
The maidservants silently left.
When Na Tuo entered the room, he saw Jing Xuan standing in front of the window.
His eyes were staring at the big tree outside the window.
Jing Xuan heard movement behind her, and said without turning her head, "Didn't I say not to come in and disturb me?"
Na Tuo said in a low voice, "Can't I?"
Huh?
Hearing this, Jing Xuan turned to look at him.
She quickly saluted, "Your Highness."
