Chapter 43 Dilemma

Jiuxiao Academy has a half-month holiday after the annual assessment, which is convenient for students from other places to go home for the New Year.

Han Luoling's words undoubtedly reminded Han Xu that the remaining holiday was insufficient.

Han Xu had a headache when he thought about the start of school again, especially this time Han Luoling had to arrange a teacher for him.

I'm afraid no one in the entire Jiuxiao Academy is willing to be Han Xu's teacher.

Too ridiculous!

Jiuxiao Academy, as a holy place for cultivation, has a transcendent status and is not a place to talk easily.

But looking at Han Luoling's expression, it doesn't seem like he was joking.

Forget it, let's fight back.

At noon, Qing'er and Nishang, two maids, came together to prepare a table of sumptuous delicacies.

After tasting it, Han Luoling praised it highly and praised Qing'er and Nishang.

Before leaving, Han Luoling pulled Han Xu aside and whispered, "These two girls are good, don't let them down."

"Sister, it's not what you think."

"Don't talk nonsense, our family doesn't have so many family concepts. If you like, you can take them into the harem. Even if you can't be the main wife, you can still give them a status."

"Sister, I'm only eighteen."

"Eighteen is not young. All of your brothers married wives and concubines at the age of eighteen."

Han Xu was speechless, lamenting that the sister who used to accompany him in crazy and noisy times has now grown into a housekeeper.

However, he was still happy in his heart. Every word of Han Luoling made him feel the warmth of family affection.

Han Luoling had just married Emperor Wu, and her position was probably not yet stable, but the first thing she thought of was to come to see Han Xu and think about his future.

This kind of care is truly selfless.

"Okay, okay, I know what's going on." Han Xu thought for a moment, and before leaving, he said, "Sister, be careful in the palace."

"If someone bullies you, tell me, and I'll help you vent your anger."

Seeing Han Xu's serious look, Han Luoling turned away, with a layer of mist in her eyes.

Han Luoling left under the protection of the Tiance Army, and a large group of carriages slowly drove towards the palace. Han Xu stood alone on the street for a long time in silence.

Things were indeed very similar to what Han Xu had expected before. Han Luoling quickly captured the heart of Emperor Wu because of her unique beauty.

However, in terms of time, it was much shorter than Han Xu's estimate, and the favor given by Emperor Wu was a little beyond imagination.

Even the Tiance Army, which was not allowed to be touched by others, was directly given to Han Luoling.

All of this made Han Xu feel unreasonable, but he didn't know what it was specifically, but Han Xu knew that his sister's arrival today would affect many things.

Next, he had to get busy.

When Han Xu returned to the mansion, Nishang was standing at the door, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Go ahead, there's no secret. Just answer whatever you ask. Don't embarrass yourself." After Han Xu finished speaking, Nishang nodded gently and said, "Thank you, young master."

She was the eyes that Pavilion Master Li had planted beside Han Xu. Her mission was to report Han Xu's every move truthfully.

Han Luoling's arrival was of great importance, so Nishang had to report it, but she didn't want to betray Han Xu behind his back.

At the moment of contradiction, Han Xu saw her entanglement, forgave her again, and even encouraged her to go to Pavilion Master Li, with the purpose of not wanting to embarrass her.

Nishang didn't know what kind of mood she came to the dark room with, she only knew that her steps out of the door this time were heavier than the last time.

"What did Han Luoling talk about with Han Xu?" Pavilion Master Li asked, his voice was still so hoarse, like a demon in the hell of hell.

"In addition to some family matters, the queen also said that she would find a teacher for the young master in the academy to urge the young master to practice so that he could gain fame in the future."

Pavilion Master Li listened to Nichang quietly. Under the mask, his face looked a little ugly.

Queen.

Young Master.

Unconsciously, Nichang changed the way she addressed Han Xu and Han Luoling.

Perhaps because of the inner contradictions and entanglements, Nichang herself did not notice it, but it could not escape the eyes of Pavilion Master Li.

The reason for such a change can only mean that Han Xu has weight in Nichang's heart, and it is not light.

"Han Xu, Han Xu, I really underestimated you." Pavilion Master Li had an evil idea in his mind, but he said to Nichang without any change in his tone, "By the way, you said Han Xu also redeemed Qing'er?"

"I heard that Wanhua Pavilion gave Qing'er to Han Xu as a gift."

After Nichang finished speaking, Pavilion Master Li fell silent, and the whole dark room suddenly became quiet.

"I didn't expect him to be the first to take action and directly send the courtesan to a waste. I really envy his courage."

The eyes of Pavilion Master Li flashed with cold light. As the saying goes, if you fall behind by one step, you will fall behind step by step.

Before, he and the people behind him were not sure whether Han Luoling could be favored by Emperor Wu, so they were not very firm in their attitude towards Han Xu, but chose to put Nichang as a spy beside Han Xu for observation.

In this way, if Han Luoling was favored, they would continue to increase their investment in Han Xu. If Han Luoling was not favored, they would not suffer much loss.

It was right to think so, but the problem was that Wanhua Pavilion took the lead.

Pavilion Master Li knew very well that behind Wanhua Pavilion was the third prince Wu Xiuxian.

Wu Xiuxian's behavior of directly sending the courtesan was undoubtedly the most appropriate for a dandy like Han Xu.

"I'm afraid the Third Prince has already called Han Xu his brother."

It must be said that as the head of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Pavilion Master Li is extremely sharp-minded. In just a short moment, he guessed the truth from Nichang's words.

Nichang felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and then she realized that what she had just said might put Han Xu in danger.

Thinking of this, Nichang regretted telling the truth, but even if she didn't say it, Pavilion Master Li would know it from other channels. After all, many people already knew that Qing'er and Han Xu left Wanhua Pavilion.

At that time, there might be more serious consequences.

Nichang raised her head slightly, trying to observe what Pavilion Master Li was thinking, but she could not see anything except the cold mask.

"Since someone else has taken the lead, this move is worthless." Pavilion Master Li saw Nichang's reaction and quickly made a decision that made Nichang feel desperate.

"After returning, find an opportunity to kill him."

"Pavilion Master..."

"Why, you can't bear it?"

Just as Nichang was about to explain, a chilling murderous intent filled the entire room.

"Nichang, I saved your life, and I raised you. Killing Han Xu is like repaying my kindness. After this is over, you will be free."

"Besides, you have followed me for many years, and you should know the consequences of betraying me."

When Nichang thought of the means of this Pavilion Master, she shuddered uncontrollably.

"I'll give you three days, don't let me do it myself."

"Nichang understands."

"Very good."

Smoke rose from the black robe, and Pavilion Master Li disappeared in the thick smoke, leaving Nichang with a distraught face.

"Master, what should Nichang do?"
