Chapter 330 Face Saint

330 face St.

"Okay." Zhao Zhitong pursed his lower lip, and then let the topic go, but finally emphasized that Qiao Muchen should not keep rubbing her head in the future, otherwise, if he is not tall, he will not be able to marry.

Qiao Muchen sighed and asked, "Who did you listen to?"

Zhao Zhitong said casually: "Matchmaker, I heard what the fat matchmaker who matched my second cousin said."

Qiao Muchen: "..."

It must be the matchmaker who went to the house to talk about matchmaking. Zhao Zhitong overheard a few words and remembered them.

Qiao Muchen couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said with a smile: "Don't listen to their nonsense, even if you don't grow up now, someone will marry you."

Zhao Zhitong looked back at him and wondered, "Why are you so sure?"

Qiao Muchen asked back: "Don't you believe me?"

"Hmm..." Zhao Zhitong held his chin and hummed.

Half a moment later, he said, "Okay, I believe you."

Qiao Muchen couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to rub Zhao Zhitong's head. The soft hair touched the palm of his hand, just like a fluffy kitten, which made him feel at ease inexplicably.

Zhao Zhitong resisted the urge to move his head away, and thought to himself, "Okay, since you're in a bad mood today, I'll let you rub it."

After a while, Zhao Zhitong asked, "You, are you in a better mood now?"

Qiao Muchen: "Well, much better."

Zhao Zhitong confirmed: "Really?"

Qiao Muchen nodded: "Really. To be honest, at the beginning, I was a little frustrated.

However, I thought of what Meng Xuexue said earlier, and I gradually felt relieved. Don’t you often say that you don’t have to be an official to seek peace for the people? Even practicing medicine, traveling and giving lectures, they can all do their part for the common people. "

"Besides, I don't actually have that much ambition in the officialdom. Since other things can also benefit the people, why should I feel lonely and sad because of a momentary disappointment, and forget my original intention?"

Zhao Zhitong looked at Qiao Muchen seriously, and didn't miss any expression on his face. She knew that what Qiao Muchen said was from his heart, and he was really not sad.

Involuntarily, he also showed a relieved smile, patted his chest, and said with a look of stabbing for his friend: "Okay, then whatever you do in the future, I will accompany you. If you go to teach, I will be with you!"

Qiao Muchen chuckled and said, "I'll take it seriously when you say that."

Zhao Zhitong supported his body with his hands, looked up at the sky, tilted his head and smiled and said, "I'm serious too."

…

The half moon hangs in the sky, and the stars are shining brightly.

Two figures are under the night sky, looking at each other, beautiful like a painting.

—

The second day.

Zhao Zhitong and the others followed the princess into the palace early in the morning. Today is also the day of the palace examination. When they entered the palace, it was the morning court.

Zhao Zhitong and the others stood obediently outside the palace, waiting for the summons.

Gradually, the sun rose. Although the sun in April was not very strong, it was a bit unbearable to stay under the sun all the time.

However, none of them moved.

Because there is a high step from outside the hall to the main hall, they are just below the steps and cannot hear what is happening in the main hall.

Only about half an hour later, they heard a voice crying and admitting their mistakes, and then saw several guards walking down from the hall with a person on their backs.

And this person is none other than Pei Shangqing.

Obviously, he cheated and was punished by the emperor.

Passing by Zhao Zhitong and the others, Pei Shangqing suddenly glared at Qiao Muchen and yelled, "You, why are you in the palace? It's you, right? It's you who reported to the emperor, right?"

"Do you think that if you report on me, you will be fine? I am the emperor's nephew. If you disgrace me, you will embarrass the emperor. Do you think you will be fine..."

His yelling gradually disappeared, and he had been dragged down by the guards. Qiao Muchen and the others kept their expressions unchanged, as if they were not affected by this incident.

After about an hour, the eunuch's voice suddenly sounded at the entrance of the main hall: "Xuan, the witness is going to the hall!"

Then, the guards standing with them led them into the main hall.

The first time I climbed the steps of the main hall, the first feeling is that it is majestic. When walking on the steps and looking back, I only feel that the people on the steps are really small.

Several people entered the hall with their heads down, kneeling in front of the emperor to salute, not daring to look up at all.

Even Zhao Zhitong, who is not afraid of strangers, is very nervous at this moment.

"Which one is Qiao Muchen?"

The voice of the emperor sounded from above their heads.

The voice was a bit hoarse and deep, although it was a woman's voice, it was full of majesty.

This is the aura of not being angry and self-imposing who is always above a high position.

"Back to the emperor, the student is Qiao Muchen."

Qiao Muchen knelt on top of the main hall, and replied neither humble nor overbearing.

Zhao Zhitong lowered her head and really wanted to see the emperor's holy face, but before entering the palace, the princess had explained to them that she couldn't look directly at the holy face, so she just knelt obediently, and the emperor didn't call, so she Do not move.

Over there, the emperor said a few words to Qiao Muchen, and asked a few questions, all about the incriminating evidence against King Chu.

Qiao Muchen did not say that they found the evidence based on King Liang's reminder, only that they discovered it by accident.

The emperor didn't really go into it, he only cared about the authenticity of the evidence.

And the King of Chu was kneeling beside him with a dead expression on his face.

Obviously, the faction of Duke Zhang and Princess Anping just now gave the King of Chu a head-on blow, but at this moment, the emperor was still thinking of his nephew's family affection, and couldn't bear to kill him.

The emperor asked again: "Who painted this portrait?"

Qiao Muchen replied: "Return to the emperor, this is made by my good friend, Zhao Zhitong."

"Oh?" The emperor's tone couldn't tell what kind of attitude she was in, but she said calmly: "Which one is Zhao Zhitong, raise your head and let me have a look."

After being called, Zhao Zhitong slowly raised her head, and she finally saw the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It was a woman in her fifties, but she was sitting on a high position and doing all she could, but no one regarded her as a woman.

Majesty.

This is Zhao Zhitong's first impression of her.

"You made this painting? In short, you have the ability to look at skulls and restore portraits?"

The emperor's voice was not too fast or slow. She didn't deliberately raise the volume or add accents, but it made people unconsciously respectful.

Zhao Zhitong nodded: "It is possible to return to the emperor."

The king of Chu over there looked at the emperor and said anxiously: "Your majesty, this is impossible at all, how can anyone have such a skill, isn't that a god!

She must have known the appearance of the Twelve Princes and drew it on purpose. Those arrow feathers and those clothes must have been made by them! Yes, they did it all. They want to frame me, Your Majesty! "

Turning instead, he glared at Zhao Zhitong: "Tell me, who told you to harm me!"

The King of Chu thought that Zhao Zhitong was a girl, and she would be overwhelmed if she was scared, so he stared at her very fiercely.
