The next day, Zhao Yu'er washed up and went into the palace.

"Yu'er, you are here." The emperor had just finished his morning court, when the guards came to report, the princess was already waiting in the inner hall.

"See Your Majesty."

Zhao Yu'er got up and saluted, Zhao Qilin waved her off.

"This is the inner hall. My brothers and sisters don't have to be polite."

"Yes, brother."

"I heard about what happened yesterday, is Fu Xiaobai okay?"

"There is no serious problem. Doctor Xu prescribed a prescription, and it will take half a month to recover."

"That's good, he is indeed a good candidate."

Zhao Yuer was silent for a moment, then asked,

"Brother Huang, does the killer have any clues?"

"Zhao Wu checked and found that these people are all assassination organizations in Jianghu."

"Who is it for?"

"Although it's aimed at Fu Xiaobai, it might actually be because of Yu'er." Zhao Qilin thought it was necessary for her to know the truth. Even if she didn't tell her, Zhao Yu'er should be able to guess seven or eight points based on Zhao Yu'er's intelligence.

Zhao Yu'er was thoughtful after hearing this, she should have guessed that when Fu Xiaobai first opened the capital, he was either in a restaurant or in a bookstore every day, so how could he make enemies with others.After all, he still pulled him into this vortex, but is it still too late to save his life by letting him withdraw now?

Seeing that she was silent, Zhao Qilin continued,

"Your intention to choose the county horse among the new champions, I am afraid that all the powers in the court are clear. Although the autumn test has not yet started, Fu Xiaobai's talent displayed at the Lantern Festival may have attracted the attention of several families. I just didn't expect it. , They are so bold, committing crimes in the street!"

Zhao Qilin came to the throne not long ago, but he has not yet fully grasped the power.The main force in the court is Prime Minister Lin, the head of all officials, who is in charge of administration; General Li is in charge of the military power in the world; but more than half of the financial power is in the hands of Princess Ruyu, and the book club is only part of it.The country's land and tax system, which account for a large amount of money, were cultivated by the princess and the emperor.What's more, compared to making profits, Baiyu Publishing House is more important to have the right to speak with great influence.

That's why the civil and military forces wanted to win over Zhao Yu'er, but the royal family was unwilling to let the princess favor any one.Because once the discourse power of financial power is on the side of either the civil or military side, then the last one to be overthrown is definitely the current emperor.In the imperial palace, blood relationship has never been trusted, all you have to grasp is power and balancing interests.This is the truth left to Zhao Qilin by the first emperor.

Although the young emperor failed to be ruthless, he still considered putting the interests of the imperial power first in everything.Zhao Yu'er also understands this point, if she can really choose again, she may not be willing to get involved in the battle in the palace.

"Brother, let me think about it again."

Zhao Yu'er felt a little tired. If a stranger was her nominal county horse, she wouldn't care, it was just a tool.It's just that after getting along with Fu Xiaobai for a long time, when I think of him, my mind is only thinking about making money.The thought of him being injured in order to protect himself, but such a danger is only the beginning and not the end.She began to hesitate.

Zhao Qilin knew that she was worried, so he didn't say any more, but just reminded her,

"Now that Fu Xiaobai has appeared, even if he can't become the champion of the new division, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape the pursuit of those forces. Instead of running away, it's better to protect him to the end."

Zhao Qilin's words awakened Zhao Yu'er,

"Well, Yu'er is clear."

"I will send more people to protect you and ensure that he can safely participate in this fall's exam."

"Yu'er thanked the emperor."

The emperor wanted to keep her for lunch, but Zhao Yu'er declined. Fu Xiaobai was still awake when she went out in the morning, so she was a little worried and wanted to go back as soon as possible.Zhao Qilin is used to being rejected by his cousin every day.

"Fortunately, it wasn't the right hand that was injured, otherwise the study task would not be completed." Fu Xiaobai woke up and saw that Zhao Yu'er was not there, Qin said that she had gone out to do some errands.He also ordered people to bring Fu Xiaobai's luggage and books from the restaurant, and let him live in the book club from now on.

Seeing that there is still half a month to go before the autumn exam, Fu Xiaobai thought about the time constraints and heavy tasks, so he started to study after breakfast.

Seeing that Fu Xiaobai was still studying after getting up, Qin thought of the Princess' order not to let him move around, so she hurriedly stopped him.

"Fu Xiaobai, why are you up! You haven't healed yet, the county...Master ordered you not to move around! Go back to bed quickly."

Fu Xiaobai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Qin, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury, and it won't affect my studies."

"No! You go back to bed!" Qin made a gesture to drive Fu Xiaobai back to rest.

"Qin, what's the matter?" As soon as Zhao Yu'er arrived home, she heard two people in the room arguing.

"Master, you are back, Fu Xiaobai doesn't want to rest well, he insists on getting up." Qin glanced at Fu Xiaobai slightly complaining, but Fu Xiaobai made a face at her.

Zhao Yuer smiled slightly, "Understood, it's okay, you go down first."

"Yes, Master."

Fu Xiaobai was very happy to see Zhao Yuer come back,

"Master President, you are back!"

"Well, why are you disobedient and don't take a good rest?"

"I've taken the medicine and it's nothing serious. I'm restless in bed, thinking that I haven't finished my homework today, so I got up to review my books."

Seeing him looking at her with hope, Zhao Yuer's idea of ​​choosing a county horse wavered again.

"Xiaobai, do you really want to take the No. [-] Scholar exam?" Zhao Yu'er asked him seriously.

Fu Xiaobai was puzzled why the president suddenly asked such a question.

"I want to, of course I do. What's the matter with you, President?"

"If, even if you are in high school, I will not give you the promised 500 taels of silver, will you still take the exam?"

Maybe he was so interested just because he was rich. If there was no temptation of silver, he wouldn't want to go to high school.Zhao Yu'er found that she didn't have the courage to tell him not to take the exam, so she could only use this method to make Fu Xiaobai give up by himself.

"President, I will still take the exam, and I will work hard, affirm, and be sure to be the number one in high school!"

Fu Xiaobai looked at her firmly, and answered without hesitation.

"Xiaobai, why are you?" Zhao Yu'er was very surprised, why would a person who was clearly unwilling be so firm now.

"President, although I don't know your concerns, it may be related to the attack last night. However, my subconscious mind tells me that only by passing the exam can I have a chance to help you, so I am willing to give it a try, no matter what difficulties I encounter. I believe that when you are willing, you will naturally speak to me."

Every fool knows that his injury seems to change the president's choice of certain things.It's just that since I've entered the game, I plan to go all the way to the dark, not to mention helping the president if I have the opportunity.

Zhao Yu'er wanted to hug Fu Xiaobai very much, but because of the difference between men and women, she had to try her best to suppress her inner desire.She just kept looking at Fu Xiaobai like this, as if she was afraid that he would disappear under her nose.

"Xiaobai, thank you."

"You're welcome, President, will you still reward me with the 500 taels of silver?"

"Pfft, um, what's missing is you." Zhao Yu'er's accumulated sadness for a long time was suddenly amused by Fu Xiaobai. It seemed that Qin was right, she really liked to laugh a lot.

"President, if I can't get the money in person, please hand over the 500 taels and the 300 taels I hid in the Analects to the master of Fuwen Academy in Qingtong Town." Fu Xiaobai said with a smile Export, but it seems to be confessing a last wish.

"You won't, Fu Xiaobai only needs you to live to receive it, otherwise no one will be able to take the 500 taels from my hand." Zhao Yu'er also replied with a smile.

The two smiled at each other.

"Na Lagou, whoever lies is a puppy."

"Huh? How old are you, and you still pull the hook, not childish."

Zhao Yu'er, who was upright in mouth, expressed disgust, but honestly hooked Fu Xiaobai's little finger with her hand.

"No change for 100 years."

"it is good."
