Xiao Lingfeng asked cautiously, "Who do you think leaked the test questions?"

Luo Qinghan didn't answer.

After a while, he spoke calmly.

"It's getting late, you go back first, and bring Li Qingyan to see Gu in the morning."

"Here."

After Xiao Lingfeng left, Luo Qinghan was the only one left in the study.

He looked at the Book of Changes in front of him, his face sinking like water.

The topics for this year's general examination were jointly agreed upon by him and Qin Lie. After the topics were determined, they were sealed. The topics would not be unsealed until the exam started.

So far, there are only three people who know the content of the exam questions——

Qin Lie, the emperor, and himself.

He himself will definitely not reveal the exam questions, and the emperor does not need to do such a thankless thing.

Then only Qin Lie remained.

Based on Luo Qinghan's understanding of Qin Lie, Qin Lie may leak the questions to his own family. After all, the Qin family also has several young juniors who are going to take the exam this year. If they can know the exam questions in advance, they will definitely be able to gain pride in the exam. people's achievements.

But if so, it would be too obvious.

After all, everyone knew that Qin Lie was one of the chief examiners in this year's exam. If everyone in his family got excellent grades, they would avoid suspicion.

Qin Lie is an old fox, and he will never leave such an obvious argument easily when he does things.

And that bookstore, who dared to openly sell exam questions, must be supported by someone behind it.

Who is the man behind the bookstore? Is it the Qin family?

Eunuch Chang reminded: "Your Highness, it's getting late, you should have dinner."

Luo Qinghan stood up: "Go to Qingge Hall."

Eunuch Chang immediately asked people to prepare the car and send the prince to Qingge Hall.

Baoqin guessed that the prince would come to Qingge Hall for dinner tonight, so he specially prepared some more meals.

Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi sat opposite the table.

On weekdays, Luo Qinghan always eats quietly, but today he made an exception and took the initiative to speak.

"Why did you remind Li Qingyan?"

Xiao Xixi raised her head from her rice bowl and asked blankly, "Who is Li Qingyan?"

Luo Qinghan: "It's the scholar you met at the door of the bookstore before, and you reminded them not to open the door at night."

Xiao Xixi suddenly said: "It's that unlucky bastard! The concubine saw that he might be unlucky, so she reminded me casually."

Judging from his appearance, Li Qingyan is a rare talent. Xiao Xixi thinks it's a pity that such a person died at an early age, so he can help him.

Luo Qinghan: "Do you think he is credible?"

Xiao Xixi: "I don't know about the concubine. You have to make up your own mind about this kind of thing. After all, people's hearts are very complicated. Even if the concubine has the eyes of the sky, you can only see through the face, but not the heart."

Luo Qinghan didn't speak anymore.

After they had eaten and drank enough, when the two of them went to bed, Luo Qinghan's brows were still slightly wrinkled, and he seemed to be very worried.

Xiao Xixi put her hand on his brow and stretched it aside a little bit.

"Don't frown all the time, it's easy to frown and look old."

Luo Qinghan took her hand, pulled it down, and clenched it tightly.

He whispered: "Guang wants to gamble, do you think Gu can win?"

Xiao Xixi: "As long as it's gambling, there will definitely be losses and wins, but it doesn't matter. Concubine's gambling luck has always been very good. Concubine can share some of her luck with you."

After speaking, she leaned in and kissed him on the forehead.

"Okay, the concubine has already distributed her luck to you, you will definitely win!"

Luo Qinghan couldn't help but hug her tighter.

How much luck did he accumulate to be lucky enough to meet Xiao Xixi?

Xiao Xixi raised his hand and touched his back, as if he was touching his own dog.

She soothed softly.

"Let go of whatever you want to do, and the concubine will always support you!"

...

The next day, before dawn, Zhao Xian hurriedly came to Qingge Hall and asked to see His Royal Highness the Prince.

Luo Qinghan simply finished washing up and met Zhao Xian in the side hall.

Zhao Xian: "Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, the last general interrogated the shopkeeper and staff of the bookstore overnight. The shopkeeper has already confessed. This is his confession."

He offered a piece of paper to his hands.

Luo Qinghan opened his confession and read it quickly.

According to the bookstore shopkeeper's confession, the bookstore was actually owned by the Cui family, and the "Book of Changes" was also handed over to the shopkeeper by the young master of the Cui family.

The young master of the Cui family asked the shopkeeper to sell the "Book of Changes" on his behalf, and repeatedly warned that before the book was sold, no one was allowed to touch the book, and everything had to be carefully kept secret.

In addition, Cui Xiaogong also said that if the "Book of Changes" is sold out, he can go to Cui's house to ask him for it.

Luo Qinghan closed his confession and sneered: "It seems that the Cui family still has a lot of "Book of Changes" in their hands. They plan to make a fortune by selling exam questions."

Zhao Xian did not dare to answer.

In the previous dynasty, the Cui family was still a first-class family, the top of the family.

But since the change of dynasty, the Cui family has gradually declined.

Today's Cui family is already in the middle of gold and jade, and the entire Cui family can't come up with a decent junior, and can only barely survive by selling the assets left by their ancestors.

But the ancestral property is limited, and it will be gone when it is sold out.

Unexpectedly, the Cui family actually found another way to make money.

Luo Qinghan: "You take someone to Cui's house, and bring Cui Xiao Gongzi here. If he is not here, you will bring his birth date."

Zhao Xian: "Here!"

He turned around and strode away from Qingge Hall.

Eunuch Chang reminded: "Your Highness, breakfast is ready."

Luo Qinghan ate some breakfast casually, and hurried to the council hall in a chariot.

The six cabinet ministers, the British king, and the second prince Luo Yunxuan have all arrived. When they saw the prince coming, they bowed their hands to salute.

Luo Qinghan's eyes passed over Qin Lie, and he stood in his place with a blank expression.

The second prince, Luo Yunxuan, smiled at him: "Third brother, tomorrow is the day when the exam will start. I wonder how you are preparing? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Luo Qinghan said lightly: "Everything is fine, thank you second brother for your concern."

Luo Yunxuan: "You and I are brothers. If you have any difficulties, you must speak up. As long as it is where I can help, I will do my best."

Luo Qinghan felt that he was talking a lot today, so he couldn't help but glance at him.

Among the princes, the second prince Luo Yunxuan seemed to be the most gentle and kind, but he was actually the one with the deepest thoughts.

Luo Qinghan has never been very fond of interacting with him.

Usually, when the two meet, they just say hello, and they rarely exchange greetings like they do today.

Luo Qinghan instinctively felt that this person had bad intentions.

Before he could open his mouth to test, the emperor came.

Everyone saluted the emperor in unison.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father!"

"Wei Chen greets His Majesty!"

The emperor sat in the first seat, and asked in a business-like manner, "What do you have to do today?"

As soon as the voice fell, Luo Yunxuan stood up.

"My son has something to play!"
