Chapter 268 I accidentally got 1st place again
In the evening, Jun Mo came back, and Yu Jiuer asked him hurriedly: "My Lord, do you know which group set the fire?"
Jun Mo shook his head: "However, this king guessed that it should be Xiang Fei's Miaojiang secret guards!"
"Well, I guessed it was her!" Yu Jiuer nodded and said,
"This morning in the Golden Palace, when you escorted those suspects in, the eyes of the First and Fifth Princes flickered, and I guessed that they might also want to take action, but the Miaojiang secret guards got there first.
This time they were made to bear the blame for nothing, which benefited Xiang Fei. Last time, they used gambling to put the Third Prince in jail, but how come he was released after only two or three months? Xiang Fei can brag again this time!"
"Empress Xiang asked the King of Miaojiang to send a large amount of longevity tonic to please father..." Jun Mo paused, too embarrassed to speak.
Yu Jiuer said angrily: "You bribed our emperor with just a little bit of money? When the Miaojiang King intervened, the emperor just stripped the Third Prince of his title and released him?"
Jun Mo nodded: "It's good enough that we can get the emperor to slightly punish the third brother. The third brother has the Miao border behind him, and the emperor will be cautious and will not do anything that will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries."
"Oh, Xiang Fei is really great!" Only then did Yu Jiuer realize how powerful the enemy she was facing was. It was related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The emperor would never kill Xiang Fei. It was difficult to kill Xiang Fei!
Thinking of this, Yu Jiuer felt depressed: "Is there no other way to make Xiang Fei lose power completely? I didn't even vent my anger last time I designed to put her in jail! How come that stinking cell didn't suffocate her to death?
I was burned by her again this time and almost disfigured. How despicable! "
Jun Mo comforted him, "The last gambling game not only caused the Third Brother to be stripped of his title, but also forced out all of Xiang Fei's secret agents in the palace. We will remove them all. Take it step by step, don't rush!"
"She also killed Yu Jiuer's biological mother. I am occupying her body, so I can't not avenge her, right?" Yu Jiuer pouted, looking aggrieved.
"The most hateful thing is that she comes out to cause trouble from time to time, which makes people hate her so much! I really want to cover her with a sack and beat her up to vent my anger!"
Jun Mo said: "She is extremely cautious both inside and outside the palace. Most importantly, she disdains jealousy. It is not easy for us to find any evidence against her."
"Doesn't she have any feelings for the emperor at all?" Yu Jiu'er was surprised. She had been married to the Great Dong Dynasty for more than 20 years. She seemed to care about the emperor very much. It turned out that she had been enduring humiliation? She concealed it very well!
Jun Mo shook his head and said, "What Concubine Xiang has always wanted is the throne of the Great Dong Dynasty. She has a clear goal and knows how to coax my father, so she is very difficult to deal with. However..."
Jun Mo paused and stared at Yu Jiuer with burning eyes.
"But what?" Yu Jiuer asked anxiously.
Jun Mo smiled and said, "After your reminder, I investigated the past of Concubine Xiang. The third brother may not really be my brother."
"Do you have any evidence?" Yu Jiuer's eyes lit up instantly, and her tone of gloating was revealed, "You can't be so lucky that you caught someone cheating in bed, right?"
Jun Mo laughed and shook his head: "No, the people I sent to Miaojiang to investigate brought back news that Concubine Xiang did have a lover before she got married to the Great Dong Dynasty.
My people followed the clues and discovered that her lover had come to the capital and lived for a period of time. It was during that period that Concubine Xiang became pregnant.
Moreover, the people who went to investigate had seen Xiang Fei's lover, and the third brother looked somewhat similar to him!"
Yu Jiuer opened her mouth with joy: "I guessed it right, didn't I? This is enough to prove that the third prince is not the emperor's child, but the child of her and that old lover! I finally caught her weakness, let's see how she can turn things around this time?"
Jun Mo advised: "There are all kinds of things in the world. We can't act rashly without catching the adulterer in bed, so as not to alert the enemy.
Given Xiang Fei's personality, if she knew we had discovered her shocking secret, she would probably rather kill her old lover than leave it to us."
Yu Jiuer nodded: "Your Highness is right, he is Xiang Fei's Achilles' heel. Once we find enough evidence, we will kill Xiang Fei with one move."
"Recently, you should stay at home and review your lessons. Leave everything else to me! This time, I will definitely give Concubine Xiang a heavy blow and help you get revenge!"
Jun didn't finish his words. He touched Yu Jiuer's head with heartache, and his eyes flashed with hatred for Concubine Xiang.
Soon, the provincial examination in August will arrive!
Before the provincial examination, Jiuer spent a day to finally get her hair done. Although it was not as strong as modern hair extensions, it was more than enough to handle the three-day examination!
Before the exam, the group of sisters who were worried about Yu Jiuer brought Yu Tao with them and made an appointment to go to Prince Jing's Mansion to visit Yu Jiuer.
When they saw Yu Jiuer, who was intact as before and standing in front of them with a smile on her face, they finally felt relieved.
The next day, at the entrance of the imperial examination hall.
As soon as Yu Jiuer got off the carriage, more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at her hotly, and then hurried away.
Yu Jiuer curled her lips and sneered: My hair grows so fast, are you surprised? Are you surprised?
She walked into the examination room with high spirits and high confidence.
With Jun Mo paving the way for her, she had nothing to worry about and just needed to concentrate on the exam.
After the three-day exam, Yu Jiuer received good news as soon as she stepped out of the examination room: Concubine Xiang was under house arrest by the Emperor again.
The reason was that someone reported that she had many secret guards in the capital, as many as several thousand people, and they were all exposed by Jun Mo.
Even though Xiang Fei tried her best to defend herself, saying that her father loved her too much and that was why he arranged so many secret guards around her, the emperor still ordered Jun Mo to send all her secret guards back to the country.
"This time, Xiang Fei is alone in the capital, without any help, so she is not to be feared!" Jun Mo asked Yu Jiuer for credit, "Am I very powerful?"
But Yu Jiuer was still a little worried that they would come back, and frowned and asked: "Those secret guards were sent back to their country, so they won't come back again? Why didn't the emperor imprison or kill them?"
It’s not that she is cruel, but in this dynasty, it’s either you die or I die!
"Do you think I will let them return to Miaojiang intact and become a threat to us?"
Yu Jiuer’s eyes widened.
"I cut their tendons and had them taken to Miao territory by ox carts."
Yu Jiuer threw herself into Jun Mo's arms excitedly: "Finally I got one. Let's see if Xiang Fei dares to show off in front of me this time?"
Seven days later, Yu Jiuer finally waited for the day when the results of the provincial examination were announced.
When her carriage arrived at the announcement square, the square was already crowded with people, and Yu Jiuer found that she still couldn't squeeze in.
Jun Mo was just about to pick her up and fly in when someone among the people shouted, "It's Yu Jiuer, Concubine Yu! She's here—"
Then, Yu Jiuer miraculously saw the crowd move to the sides on their own initiative, leaving a passage in the middle that stretched unobstructed from in front of Yu Jiuer to the front of the list.
Yu Jiuer couldn't stop smiling and kept thanking the people: "Thank you, everyone! In fact, it doesn't need to be so wide. It's enough for a carriage to pass through!"
The people responded to her with laughter:
"What's that? You've brought honor to our Great Dong Dynasty, you deserve our courtesy!"
"You are amazing! You stood up for the woman. We are proud of you!"
"With your example, I will have the confidence to refute anyone who looks down on women in the future! Thank you for bringing honor to us women!"
......
Listening to the compliments and praises from the people, Yu Jiuer was certain, without even looking at the list, that she would pass the exam this time!
But what she didn't expect was that her name would firmly occupy the first place on the list?
"Your Majesty, I accidentally got first place in the exam again!"
Jun Mo rubbed her head: "I have always known that you are the best!"
At this time, the sisters from the "Women's Poetry Club" all squeezed in, and Jun Mo silently stepped aside.
They rushed towards Yu Jiuer excitedly, and sang and danced like crazy in front of the people, regardless of their image, lawless and shameless.
Jun Mo turned his face away.
It's really hard to watch. Are these girls from aristocratic families who have been educated in etiquette since childhood?
It turned out that they had nothing to do during Yu Jiuer's "retreat" to review, so they composed the contents of Yu Jiuer's petition into a song.
Now, Yu Jiuer has topped the provincial examination, and they were so happy that they held hands and surrounded Yu Jiuer, singing non-stop.
The people also cooperated and moved back to let them sing to their heart's content, and kept clapping and cheering for them.
It was a rare atmosphere of unity and celebration. Jun Mo put his hands behind his back, raised the corners of his lips, and watched them happily.
But among the crowd, there were a few people with gloomy eyes.
They evacuated quickly and brought the news back to their masters.
"What? She actually passed the exam? And she ranked first?" The eldest prince was so shocked that he fell off his chair. "Quick, notify the third and fifth princes to gather at Juxian Tower!——"
The eldest prince's wife came in and saw the eldest prince's anxious face, and said, "This Yu Jiuer is really capable!"
"Such a person must not be allowed to stay with the Fourth Prince. He must be eliminated!" The eldest prince's face was ferocious and he seemed to have lost his mind.
