Academician Xiao didn't like this kind of occasion, so he didn't come.

The Xiao sisters came with their parents, the Minister of Personnel Xiao Rui and his wife.

When Mrs. Xiao took the dagger from Xiao Ningxue while crying, Xiao Ningxue was still shaking, obviously in great pain.

An Ning took out the small cloth bag she carried with her and carefully bandaged her wound.

"Be careful, don't get wet, and remember to change the medicine, the wound is quite deep."

An Ning rambled on and on about many things to pay attention to, and at the end she complained, "Are you stupid? Why are you holding it so tightly?"

Xiao Ningxue scratched her head, looking a little silly. "It was a moment of urgency, a moment of urgency."

The queen was nearly assassinated, and the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet came to an end.

Qi Wuyou felt annoyed as he looked at the food he hadn’t eaten much of. Wouldn’t it be a waste if he hadn’t eaten much of it?

Not only did I waste the food, but I also let my aunt down.

At this time, most of the court officials had left, but the An and Xiao families had to wait for the result.

Several people looked gloomy, except Xiao Ningxue who was injured in the assassination. She held the big pork elbow and had a great appetite.

Duke Anguo admired Xiao Ningxue very much. "Little girl, you are very courageous. Do you want to learn martial arts?"

Anyway, I'm free anyway, so it's better to find someone to talk to than to just stare at each other.

Before Xiao Ningxue could say anything, Madam Xiao spoke up first, "Your Majesty, you are joking. How can a girl like Xue'er learn martial arts?"

Xiao Ningxue was unhappy when she heard what her mother said, "Mom, Grandpa agreed to let me learn martial arts."

Madam Xiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Your grandfather said that you will be sent to learn martial arts after you pass the Queen's exam. Have you passed it?"

Xiao Ningxue was speechless and muttered unwillingly, "At least, my handwriting is better than yours."

This is the truth. It is different from Qi Wuyou's doggy style and Xiao Ningyu's hairpin-shaped small calligraphy.

Xiao Ningxue's calligraphy can be described as majestic, vigorous and powerful.

From childhood to adulthood, he did not learn much, but even the great scholar Xiao had to admire this character.

Qi Wuyou couldn't help but curl his lips. It was true that the originally heavy atmosphere was eased a lot by this interruption.

Qi Wuyou sighed, not knowing who wanted to kill her!

Normally she never goes out of the house, and would rather lie down than sit. How could she have the ability to bring about a fatal disaster?

Thinking of this, Qi Wuyou looked at Xuan Yelan beside him.

Could it be that the person who came to kill him just couldn't find the opportunity to do it, and then she became the scapegoat?

A scapegoat? Not really. Apart from being startled, nothing serious happened to her. She didn't even feel any pain from the push from Xiao Ningxue.

Qi Wuyou looked at Xiao Ningxue who was eating with relish and silently gave her a thumbs up.

Sister, you have such a big heart, do you really not care at all?

Liu He came back quickly, and the man didn't resist and confessed everything.

“Your Majesty, Madam, that person was originally a student of the academy, but was kicked out by Master Lu for some reason.”

"He is a rather extreme person. He believes that it was the Queen who instructed Lord Lu to drive him away, so..."

Qi Wuyou raised his eyebrows and understood. It was a flying pot from the sky.

But how did she get in?

Could it be the family of some adult?

Soon, Liu He solved Qi Wuyou's confusion, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and those who come to the palace to participate are all people who know each other well. In addition, there are also the Imperial Guards and guards for protection, so it is inevitable that the guards at the palace gate will slack off."

After saying this, he glanced at Xuan Yelan's expression and said, "I have already severely punished them."

In fact, he just gave him a beating. It was the same in previous years, but nothing happened. Who knew that something would go wrong this year?

Seeing that Xuan Yelan didn't say anything, Liu He continued, "He hid under the carriage of Duke Anguo in advance, and then hid in a side hall after sneaking into the palace. When a lady went to change clothes..."

"He knocked the lady unconscious and took off her clothes."

"But fortunately, the lady just fainted and is not seriously injured. I called the imperial physician in the side hall and he has already returned home."

Qi Wuyou nodded, suddenly realizing that the carriage of Duke Anguo had been granted special permission to travel freely in the palace.

No wonder the clothes didn’t fit, it turned out they were someone else’s clothes.

Qi Wuyou asked the question in his heart, "Where is he from? Why was he kicked out of the academy?"

Lu Yu was also confused, "Yeah, who is he?"

Although he didn't see the assassin's appearance just now, he really couldn't remember such a person.

Liu He cupped his hands and said respectfully, "He is the only son of Mr. Tian."

This sentence confused everyone. Xiao Ningxue at the side also let out a big elbow, "He is a man?"

Liu He nodded, "Yes."

Qi Wuyou had nothing to say about this, so he just asked, "So why was he kicked out?"

As soon as Liu He mentioned this name just now, Lu Yu knew what was going on.

"He smoked opium and taught others to do the same. He refused to change his ways, so I kicked him out."

Qi Wuyou nodded. Smoking opium nowadays is equivalent to taking drugs. She deserves to be kicked out. She would do the same.

At this point, Qi Wuyou thought of another question, "If I remember correctly, the age of students in the academy cannot exceed 25 years old, right?"

This was the result of a discussion between Lu Yu and Xuan Yelan. In Xuan State, young men at the age of 25 have basically inherited the family business.

Moreover, students should undergo strict examination before admission. How did Mr. Tian get admitted?

Lu Yu said, "We did check at the beginning and found that Tian Gu did not smoke. In addition, Tian Gu was indeed under 25 years old."

As he spoke, Lu Yu coughed awkwardly, "Also, his father donated a campus to our college, so..."

But Qi Wuyou obviously didn't grasp Lu Yu's point, "Under 25? But he looks like he's in his 30s!"

An Ning, who was standing by, used her professional knowledge to answer Qi Wuyou's confusion, "Madam, opium is extremely harmful to the body, so it's normal for him to be like that."

Xiao Ningxue also chimed in, "That's right, I was wondering why he looked so weak."

After saying that, he touched his hand that was throbbing and hurt, "If I had known that you were a heavy smoker, I wouldn't have used so much force to hold the knife. It hurts so much."

Qi Wuyou ignored Xiao Ningxue's complaints, but instead realized a very serious problem.

"He was fine during the investigation, so he got addicted to smoking in college?"

Since Lu Yu said there is no problem, then there must be no problem. Does this mean that there is a traitor in the college?

Since Qi Wuyou noticed it, then everyone present probably thought of it.

Lu Yu frowned and said, "I'll go back and check." After that, he walked away without waiting for anyone to react.

An Ning raised her hand and said, "Master Lu, wait for me, I will go too."

After all, she is now the master's disciple and is also on duty in the academy. Since there is unrest in the academy, she should do her part.
