Chapter 336 Happy News

  336 good news

Following the actions of Gongsun Wan's subordinates, the emperor's expression relaxed a lot. At this time, Gongsun Wan said softly: "Your Majesty, you must take care of the dragon body. After falling ill this time, it is worrying. broken."

   "When King Liang heard that the emperor had fallen ill, he was so anxious that he didn't close his eyes for several days. It wasn't until the emperor woke up that he passed out from exhaustion."

  Hearing this, the emperor didn't open his eyes, but just hummed lightly and said: "This child has been pure and kind since he was a child, and he is really close to my aunt."

  Gongsun Wan smiled and said: "Yes, as soon as King Liang gets something good, he immediately thinks of the emperor."

  After Gongsun Wan’s reminder, the emperor’s mind is now full of King Liang’s, so he couldn’t help but say: “Go and ask him to come here, he was wronged this time, and he has been wronged by being locked up for these days.”

  Hearing this, a smile flashed in Gongsun Wan's eyes, and she immediately answered yes.

   After a while, Pei Yuanqing arrived.

   During this period of house arrest, he lost a lot of weight. After seeing the emperor, he opened his mouth to care about the emperor's body.

   Seeing Pei Yuanqing like this, the emperor felt a little distressed, sighed, and called people to his side to comfort him.

  Gongsun Wan's gaze on the side fell on King Liang after he appeared. Seeing such a haggard King Liang, she couldn't help showing a bit of distress in her eyes, but she quickly hid it.

  —

  The king of Chu was arrested for rebellion, and the evidence that he framed King Liang was solid, so the king of Liang was naturally fine.

  When they met King Liang who was going to see the emperor on the way out of the palace, Qiao Muchen and the others knew that King Liang would be leaving the palace soon.

   The two sides only looked at each other, and there was not much communication.

   After that, they each left.

  Zhao Zhitong: "Okay, let's go too."

  In this palace, she really doesn't like it very much.

  The group left the palace in this way, and returned to the long-lost inn. They paid two months' rent, so they didn't come back for a few days, and they were not worried that the innkeeper would throw their things out.

   When they arrived at the inn, there were still many students in the inn.

   After seeing Qiao Muchen and others who disappeared a few days later, many people came forward to ask curiously, among them were the two brothers Liu Yuan and Liang Heng.

   "Brother Qiao, Brother Zhao, you are back. I haven't seen you these days. We thought something happened to you, but it makes us very worried."

  The three of Liu Yuan stepped forward and said with concern.

   After Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue thanked the three for their concern, they asked, "Why haven't you left the city yet?"

  Not only them, but also the students in this inn, they are not much less than before they entered the palace.

   It stands to reason that the cost of living in the capital is very high. Generally, after learning the results, candidates who fail the exam will return to their hometowns to continue studying hard.

  Liang Heng smiled, and said in a low voice: "You don't know. During the days when you were away, too many things happened in the capital. The king of Chu led troops to attack the palace, and rumors spread all over the place."

   "Besides, the top three have not been released yet, and there are rumors in the capital that the emperor has fallen ill. I'm afraid it will..."

  He didn't dare to say the following words, and then said: "So, everyone didn't leave."

  Liang Heng and the others explained in great detail, fearing that Qiao Muchen and the others would not be clear about it, but they didn't. They were close witnesses to these things.

   After Liu Yuan and the others finished explaining, they asked, "Oh, by the way, where have you been these few days? We're really worried."

  When Qiao Muchen was thinking about what reason to use, the student in the inn who had always been jealous of Qiao Muchen sneered.

   "Hey, Liu Yuan, don't you ask knowingly? Where can he go? It's not because he is unknown on the list, his face is shameless, and he is hiding."

   "Hahaha, but I didn't expect that we haven't left yet! This is a disgrace."

  The man laughed as he spoke.

  Others couldn't help laughing too. Naturally, their behavior made other students who didn't pass the middle school exam feel uncomfortable, so they argued with them.

   For a while, the inn Liu became noisy.

   While everyone was arguing, suddenly, a burst of gongs and drums sounded on the street, and everyone in the inn stopped arguing and listened.

   "It's good news, it's the government's good news!"

  After someone yelled in surprise, the students in the inn became excited in an instant, stopped arguing, and walked out of the inn one after another.

  After the emperor proclaims the top three, the government's happy news will be sent to the student's residence, and then the number one scholar will parade through the streets.

  The official who announced the good news stopped immediately when he passed by the entrance of the inn, and shouted to the people in the inn: "Qiao Muchen, is Mr. Qiao here?"

  When the official asked this question, everyone in the inn was shocked. They didn't quite understand why the official called Qiao Muchen.

  Liu Yuan was the first to react, and immediately shouted: "Yes, yes."

  Then, he pushed Qiao Muchen out, and said to the official, "This is Qiao Muchen."

  The official glanced at Qiao Muchen, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he smiled and congratulated Qiao Muchen.

  Hearing the word "Xinke No. 1 Scholar" in the mouth of the Xibao official, those who had just ridiculed Qiao Muchen were dumbfounded and looked unbelievable.

   "No, my lord, are you making a mistake?"

   "Yes, my lord, did I make a mistake, Qiao Muchen, how could he be the champion of the new department?"

  …

  The questioned official looked at those people displeasedly, "Hey, how are you talking, can I make a mistake on such a big matter?"

   "Young Master Qiao, he is the champion of the new department handpicked by the emperor. On the happy news, it is clearly written in black and white. Why, are you questioning the emperor's decision?"

   Questioning the emperor, even if they were given ten guts, they wouldn't dare. When they were told this, they were immediately persuaded and admitted their mistakes again and again, but, obviously, they still couldn't believe it.

   Waiting for Qiao Muchen to change into the costume of the champion of the new division, ride a tall horse, and start parading through the streets, they were still in a dazed state.

  —

  Firecrackers blared, gongs and drums blared, and there was joy.

   Many ordinary people stood on both sides of the road, and they all came to see the new champion.

  Zhao Zhitong and the others also stood in the crowd, looking at Qiao Muchen in red, walking slowly on a tall horse, as if they were honored.

  Zhao Yue waved the folding fan, with a proud smile on his face, but he pulled Zhao Zhitong and said, "Hey, hey, look at Qiao Muchen's smug smile. Now, he's really angry."

  Zhao Zhitong was waving at Qiao Muchen, completely ignoring what Zhao Yue said.

  The gaze of Qiao Muchen over there has also been searching the crowd. When Zhao Zhitong waved his hand, his gaze fell on Zhao Zhitong. Those Pinghu eyes sparkled suddenly, and he smiled lightly.

   "The new champion is so handsome!"

   "Yeah, she is really a good-looking talent. With such an appearance, this bachelor is worthy of a princess."

  …

   Comments on Qiao Muchen came from around from time to time.

  Zhao Zhitong's face turned red with excitement when he heard this, and he jumped up and down while pulling Wei Shulan.

   Wei Shulan smiled helplessly: "I said, Tongtong, why are you so excited, just like you are the one parading the streets."
