C480 I Hate You

Yici wasn't talking bad about Shen Qingyan, but about what she knew. Of course, Lyi Xuanzhi had also sent Lianfeng to investigate.

This Shen Qingyan was just like what she had said. He was a vicious person. Although he had some talent, he still managed to climb up the ladder.

This caused everyone to have no good impression of him.

Shen Qingyan was downstairs, anxiously waiting. He was waiting for the guests upstairs to invite him upstairs for a gathering. Actually, he did not solve Mu Haiyang's question. Instead, he casually wrote an adjective. He used a similar term on her. It could be seen that his thoughts were so meticulous. But he still lost to Yici.

The only thing he did not expect was that Yici hated this kind of person the most in her life. He had a belly full of thoughts and did not have the talent to do big things. But if he was recruited into the Imperial Court as an official, he would definitely make Wu Yang Wu Yang.

She did not pay attention to him and allowed him to wait downstairs. The bookkeeper had already told him that he could go back and the riddle was not correct. He still refused to go downstairs.

Until everyone had left, and they had all come out of their rooms, Shen Qingyan still did not leave.

Yici held the five hundred gold offered by the attendant and her eyes lit up. She gave the attendant three hundred gold and took away two hundred gold. Originally her goal was only one hundred gold, but now she was given five hundred gold. She did not covet the 200 gold, so she gave the rest to the attendant.

Of course he knew that this was Mu Haiyang's old man's. He did not want to be too greedy.

"I have covet your Royal Highness and your gold. I am really sorry..." Yici had always felt guilty in her heart.

Just as she went downstairs, she saw Shen Qingyan kneeling on the ground and saluting, "The peasant Shen Qingyan greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

"Get up!"

Lyi Jiazhi glanced at him and left with Lyi Xuanzhi.

Shen Qingyan saw that he was ignoring him so he chased after him and said, "Emperor, the commoner solved the riddle but told the commoner that it was wrong. The commoner boldly asked the Emperor to resolve the riddle?"

He guessed that Lyi Jiazhi did not solve it or else there was no need to spend so much money to solve it. This question of his was undoubtedly challenging Lyi Jiazhi's authority. He was threatening him and humiliating him. If Lyi Jiazhi couldn't solve the problem, he couldn't say that he was wrong.

This step was a risky move. If Lyi Jiazhi couldn't solve it, then he would still be able to make a meteoric rise in the future. However, as an official in the court, Lyi Jiazhi would also give him some face.

But if he could solve it, then it would be a deliberate disgrace to the imperial family.

Shen Qingyan did not hear the footsteps for a long time. He was already overjoyed in his heart. But the only thing he miscalculated was that Lyi Jiazhi had thought of a riddle today.

"You are called Shen Qingyan, right?" Lyi Jiazhi didn't turn his head and said with his back facing him.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the commoner is Shen Qingyan." Excited.

Lyi Jiazhi softly acknowledged. Even Yici could feel Lyi Jiazhi's anger. She stood by the side, not daring to speak.

"Pass on Zhen's order. Shen Qingyan is not allowed to be an official for generations. He is not allowed to take a step into the Imperial City!"

Lyi Jiazhi flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave.

When Shen Qingyan heard this, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head. It was so cold that it penetrated his heart. Behind him, he shouted, "Emperor... the peasants do not accept it! The peasants do not accept it! You clearly do not know the answer to the riddle..."

Lyi Jiazhi said as he walked, "Hold on to the flames of war! This problem has been solved, Yuanxiang Building can solve the riddle..."

It was as if he was saying it to him, but it was more like he was saying it to everyone in Yuanxiang Building.

Once this puzzle was solved, it immediately gained the common knowledge of many people. His voice was not loud, but it was enough to deter everyone present. Even Yici could not help but admire him.

Many people who had left also rushed back at this moment to understand the mystery of his puzzle.

Shen Qingyan's face was ashen. He knew that he had been completely defeated. As the Huiyuan, he could have been a local official. But now, for the sake of this fortune, he had lost everything.

He could only hate people like him. There was nothing else, but he had forgotten that he had brought this upon himself. He had taken advantage of the situation.

Yici felt a trace of pity for him. If it wasn't for him learning how to speak, he probably wouldn't have fallen to this stage. But he couldn't be blamed. Who asked him to be insincere?

Shen Qingyan watched them leave. He hated them. He hated all of them.

"All of you just wait. One day, I will let all of you know the use of me, Shen Qingyan!" He didn't reflect on himself at all. He swore in his heart.

He was forced to leave the Imperial City.

On the way back to the residence, Yici felt a little depressed.

"Is it because of Shen Qingyan?"

Lyi Xuanzhi could see that she felt guilty.

"I don't know either. I feel like Jiazhi's punishment is too much. He was just asking a riddle..."

"Yici, you don't understand. That Shen Qingyan was challenging the authority of Anhe and Jiazhi's face. If Jiazhi didn't answer, it would be the Anhe Country who would lose face. It could be seen how vicious his mind was. If the Dark Night Country found out about this, Emperor of Anhe wouldn't even be able to answer a riddle. What should they think? What reason does our Anhe have to ask them to pay tribute? Then we can only become their laughingstock and their reason to attack..."

" Ah? It's just a riddle, how can there be so many things involved?" Yici felt that what he said was right, but this was also a bit too exaggerated.

"So... This time, Jiazhi did not do anything wrong. Even though Shen Qingyan only knew people, he was not the person Jiazhi wanted to use. If his thoughts were not correct, he would not be able to gain a foothold."

"Alright, I understand! But how did Jiazhi know the answer to that question? Mu Haiyang is not here."

" This is even simpler. Let's not talk about whether Jiazhi answered the correct riddle or not. As long as he asked, the mistake was also correct. The right answer is also wrong, so no matter what, the answer to this riddle is exactly what Jiazhi said. And the answer Jiazhi gave was indeed the correct answer. You can understand it by looking at the portrait carefully..."

When Lyi Jiazhi announced the answer, everyone felt as if they had just woken up from a dream. It was just like what he said, the more they looked at it, the more they felt like they were waking up from a dream.

Even Yici, this half-baked person, felt that his answer was very correct.

In her heart, she was full of admiration for Lyi Jiazhi. She was also deeply impressed by Lyi Xuanzhi's understanding of her.

"Let's go... Let's return to the prefecture. " Lyi Xuanzhi pulled her away from the round platform.

Lyi Jiazhi had already left Yuanxiang Building a long time ago.

This news spread throughout the Imperial City in less than an hour. Everyone knew a person called Shen Qingyan, who dared to ask for 'wealth' like this. Of course, there were people who despised him, and there were also people who liked him.

It was naturally good to be able to use him.

Even though the city gates were currently under curfew, Shen Qingyan was still taken out and thrown outside the city. The city gates completely isolated him from the Imperial City, and he could no longer enter.

Imperial City - his dream in the past. But he fell into his own dream.

Shen Qingyan fell to the ground in a mess. He gritted his teeth and said, "I hate you all! I hate you all! I will make you all pay the price."
