Chapter 118
"Then, that's also stealing the account book." Bai Yuxing muttered, "I Bai Yuxing..."
Emperor: "Hmm?"
Bai Yuxing: "...I will do my best!"
Bai Yuxing listened to the emperor's "Huh?" who was full of threats, and quickly smiled and fisted at the emperor when he saw it. The emperor was particularly satisfied with his attitude of heart, and gave him a thumbs up and said, "I remember all the credits you have done. When you steal the account book and hand it over to Lu Xiandao, I will have a great reward. Then, I will open the treasury for you and pick two things from it."
"Okay!" Bai Yuxing was overjoyed and realized that he had heard a name, "Lu... what is Lu?"
"Master Lu." Another voice sounded beside the emperor. Bai Yuxing remembered him. It seemed that he was the young master named Zhou. "The matter in Qingzhou is the one who is responsible for it."
Bai Yuxing:...
Bai Yuxing was still immersed in the bad news until he came out of the palace. He was dejected and walked slowly in the capital. As he walked, he heard a crisp voice coming from behind: "Old Bai?"
This sound... Bai Yuxing's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it. Isn't this the moon girl?
He turned around, and Zhang Lingsu was indeed standing there, holding a bag of oranges in his hand, looking at him with a smile. At that moment, Bai Yuxing's hand was a little unaware of where to sway. He looked her up and down, and after a while he yelled: "Oh, the little girl has become a great imperial physician!"
"You are not a few years older than me, don't always call me a little girl." Zhang Lingsu immediately raised his eyebrows. Bai Yuxing looked at her and felt that her whole body became vivid again. Zhang Lingsu said again: "Have you returned to the capital?"
Bai Yuxing nodded. He was thinking about showing off his experience with her when he heard Zhang Lingsu say, "I was worried about you before, but a few days ago, I heard Lord Lu say that you have found the rice that the emperor wants. It's very awesome! Lao Bai."
Hearing the saying "Awesome", Bai Yuxing showed off for a short time. But soon, he scratched his head again and said, "Who said...who told you?"
"Master Lu." Zhang Lingsu said softly, "Old Bai, you are really not loyal enough. When you left, you didn't look at me, so you left a paper necklace with a paper bag and a necklace there."
"I'm not... that's not..." Bai Yuxing touched his nose, "You're busy... I'm going to Qingzhou again tomorrow. I'll make up for this goodbye today? When I go to Qingzhou, I'll bring you a gift."
Zhang Lingsu snorted: "You have a conscience."
She looked down at the orange in her hand and said, "I'm leaving. The hospital is busy, so I'll go back first."
"Okay, okay!" Bai Yuxing said positively, "I'll help you with it?"
"No need."
Although Zhang Lingsu refused, Bai Yuxing still helped her move the things to the Imperial Hospital very diligently. When he left, he thought again that Lu Xiandao already knew that he had found rice. It was normal for him to have a source of information. But why did Lu Xiandao tell Zhang Lingsu that he had found rice?
After thinking about it, he was too lazy to think about it again. He stood at the door and saw Zhang Lingsu's clothes floating in the corner, and entered the Imperial Hospital, and heard the sound of her distributing oranges to her colleagues. Zhang Lingsu came out of the Imperial Hospital again, took an orange for him, and asked, "Are you okay? Why haven't you left yet?"
"I'm tired of walking, so take a break here." The thief who can travel thousands of miles across mountains and rivers and has excellent light skills lies and doesn't blink his eyelids.
"Oh..." Zhang Lingsu didn't ask, "You've had a good journey."
Her words fell into Bai Yuxing's hands together with the orange. Bai Yuxing turned his back to her, threw the orange upwards, and caught it again, smiling: "Okay!"
...
Bai Yuxing's speed was faster than Zhou Xun thought. Within half a month, he found the account book hidden in Qingzhou Prefecture and stole it. However, a little accident happened. Bai Yuxing, who was wearing a night-wearing suit, and Lu Xiandao, who was sneaking in to find something, collided with each other, and thought each other was a thief, so he accidentally fought.
This flight almost made the entire Qingzhou trip go to ruin. Fortunately, the emperor finally almost defeated the game. With the account book, the task force was more comfortable to deal with the officials. Although the aftermath of the flood still required a lot of time to deal with, the officials involved had all been dismounted and were transported back to the capital by ship and were imprisoned. Unfortunately, Bai Yuxing could not come back for the time being - he was lying in Qingzhou City and recovering from his injuries.
Lu Xiandao did not come back either. He stayed in Qingzhou and "careed" Bai Yuxing. Bai Yuxing was obviously deeply moved by this and sent many letters to the emperor to express his gratitude to Lu Xiandao. They all ended with "I am really moved by Lord Lu's affection and righteousness, but this heavy loyalty made me feel guilty, so please call him back and contribute to the country." It is obvious that Lu Xiandao played a significant role in his recovery process. The emperor's evaluation of this was "both sides have a very humanitarian spirit."
"I didn't expect that Lu Xian said this man looked quite cold, but actually quite gentle." The emperor commented, "What a hero who values love and friendship!"
The emperor lamented that Lu Xian said "respecting love and righteousness" was very similar to the expression he had when he held Zhou Xun's hand and said that they wanted to be good brothers for life. Zhou Xun glanced at him and did not comment on the emperor, a hero who valued love and righteousness.
The weather this year is warmer than in previous years. Just in early March, all the peach blossoms in the city had buds. Just as the first bud was slowly blooming, the spring exam finally came out.
On the day the results were released, it rained slightly again in the capital, and the enthusiasm of the candidates who went to watch the results was not diminished at all. Zhou Xun was escorted by Xiaoduo and Lele, and then he barely crossed the crowded streets and arrived at the place where the results were released.
The report was blocked by people coming and going. Zhou Xun and others had to find a nearby teahouse to sit down. The crowd kept crying from regret or crying surprises from the crowd. There was even a person fainting due to excessive excitement and carried out by the medical team stationed by the emperor. Zhang Lingsu was in the medical team, and she was busy visiting the hospital. A beautiful mixed-race boy was sitting beside her, Xiao Wu, who was moving things for her back and forth.
"When there are fewer people, we will go there." Zhou Xun said to the guard servant beside him.
It was not until the evening that there were fewer people around the release of the report. Zhou Xun then walked over. As soon as he walked into the crowd, someone touched his arm: "Hey hey!"
Zhou Xun turned around in surprise.
The one who appeared in front of him was Li Miao. When Li Miao saw him turn around, his face was full of anger: "I just called you for a long time, but did you pretend you didn't hear it?"
Zhou Xun: "I didn't hear it."
Li Miao frowned: "Do you think I will believe it? Humph, you must have pretended not to hear it. Do you think this will anger me?"
...Zhou Xun seriously felt that he had nothing to say to this person.
"Aren't you Zhou Cai's friend?" Zhou Xun said lightly, "What are you doing when you stop me?"
"This prince is also participating in the spring examination this year." Li Miao said.
Zhou Xun raised his eyebrows in surprise: "I think someone in the Duke's Mansion has already returned to you."
When Li Miao heard him say this, he immediately became proud: "Hmph, I heard the servants' rewards as early as the morning. However, if the spring exam is like this once in a lifetime, I will of course come over and see his name on the list with my own eyes."
Zhou Xun: "Oh."
Seeing Zhou Xun's faint look of oil and salt, Li Miao frowned again. He stretched out his brows and smiled, "Hmph, do you know what the prince's ranking is?"
Zhou Xun was determined to see his ranking, but Li Miao stood beside him, just like a candy. He had to cooperate and said, "What ranking?"
There was no curiosity in Zhou Xun's voice. Li Miao was even more upset, but when he thought of his ranking, he was shocked when Zhou Xun saw his ranking, he felt a little balanced. Seeing a few more people bumped into Zhou Xun, he ordered the servants of the Duke's Mansion beside him to stand next to Zhou Xun and opened it for him, "Let you see the ranking of this prince with your own eyes."
Zhou Xun:...
Forget it, Li Miao sent someone to enlighten him, and it would be useless.
Zhou Xun calmly followed the people who were leading the way in the Duke's Mansion. Li Miao walked beside him, and saw the red list appear in front of the two of them. Li Miao pointed to the position of the first academy and said, "This prince is the third in the first academy! After the Jinshi, there are only three in the first academy among everyone!"
Zhou Xun: "Oh."
This time, Li Miao was so proud that he tilted the corner of his mouth, but the next moment, he heard the surprised voice of the servant beside Zhou Xun: "Master, your name is the first in the first class!"
Li Miao:………………………
Li Miao became more and more silent, and for a long time. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at the red list. The corners of his tilted mouth were still at his original position.
The first place in the first place is Zhou Xun.
The second place in the first class is Yan Jia.
The third place in the first class... Li Miao.
For a moment, the whole world was very quiet. After a while, Li Miao laughed dryly three times and said, "There are palace examinations in one class, and we don't know the final ranking yet!"
Zhou Xun nodded beside him: "Yes."
Li Miao:…………
After a long time, Li Miao twitched and said, "Oh? Do you have nothing to say? You are holding your words in your heart and want to say, right? Stop pretending, just say it if you want to say it."
Zhou Xun glanced at him and finally said, "I just want to say..."
Li Miao: "Don't be too proud too early!"
Zhou Xun: "There are too crowded here. Are you still escorting me out?"
Li Miao:…………
Calm, calm, you are the prince of the Duke of Guarding the Kingdom, the prince of the Jin Zun and Yu Gui, and the elegant prince... Li Miao kept saying this to himself, and then he held his anger and followed the prince's demeanor to send Zhou Xun out of the crowd.
After sending Zhou Xun out of the crowd, he glanced at Zhou Xun coldly and left.
"I am waiting for you in the palace examination!" He said this.
Zhou Xun:...
"Young Master," Xiaoduo said carefully, "Prince Li seems to be very angry..."
"Don't worry about him." Zhou Xun said, "He won't do anything."
Xiaoduo:...oh.
Zhou Xun turned around and was about to go back, but another person's voice came from behind him: "Zhou Xun."
He turned around and saw Yan Jiazheng standing alone under the eaves with an umbrella.
Zhou Xun paused and said, "What a coincidence."
"Oh my luck." Yan Jia said lightly, "I have been waiting for you here since the morning."
