"You're tired?"
Seeing that, Yan Yuan leaned over and whispered into her ear.
"Un, I'm so tired. I'm so tired that I don't even want to walk anymore."
She rubbed her swollen eyes.
"Let's go, I'll carry you back!"
Saying that, without saying anything further, he squatted in front of Liu Ruo Qing, scaring everyone who had yet to leave.
With such a noble status, how could he condescend to personally carry an imperial concubine?
Everyone widened their eyes. They looked incredulously at Liu Ruo Qing who was lying on Yan Yuan's back without the slightest bit of embarrassment. Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air.
On the other hand, Jin Shu had already gotten used to this situation.
His Highness's status is honorable, but he doesn't have status at home. His Highness' position might not even compare to the young son's, hmm, what she said is true.
Liu Ruo Qing lay on Yan Yuan's warm back and was about to fall asleep, shshesimply didn't have the mind to care about those people's frightened and shocked eyes, but when she passed by Liu Qian Xun, he stopped in her tracks.
"Senior, we'll be leaving first."
"Hurry up, hurry up. If I see you, I'll be annoyed. Wake me up in the middle of the night."
Everyone was frightened again. How could the old teacher speak to the prince like that? What was even more shocking was that the prince only gave a very gentle smile, "Rest well."
Facing the dumbfounded expressions of the crowd, Jin Shu calmly shrugged her shoulders, looking like she had "I have already seen through everything": I already said it, the Duke actually doesn't have any status at all.
That night, Zhang Yong was brought back by the secret guard beside Yan Yuan and locked in the Prince's Mansion's dungeon.
Yan Yuan carried Liu Ruo Qing and returned to the Duke Palaces, where he had already slept very deeply.
Yan Yuan didn't dare to wake her up. He carried her and quietly went back to the East District.
He took off the clothes on Liu Ruo Qing's body, and the coldness on her body did not lessen.
He called for the servant in charge of night duty outside the hall to bring hot water. The servant quickly brought hot water over.
"Go down."
He took the hot water and walked back to Liu Ruo Qing's side. He used a towel to heat up the water for a while, and when the temperature of her body started to rise, he took off his clothes and walked to the side of the furnace to roast for a while. After he was sure that the cold air around him was no longer there, he walked to Liu Ruo Qing's side and laid down.
He habitually reached out and hugged Liu Ruo Qing in his embrace, feeling a warm embrace. Liu Ruo Qing subconsciously crawled into his embrace, and continued to sleep contently.
The next day, Zhang Yong was brought before him.
"Learn... This student pays his respects to the Prince. "
In the study room, this was the first time Zhang Yong had seen this cold faced prince that was rumored to be terrifying. Compared to the time when he had met him in the academy, the Prince Jing at this moment looked a lot more inhuman.
Perhaps it was because when he stood by Crown Princess Jing's side, he would have a kind of soft effect, which was to the point where he mistook the violent and ruthless Prince Jing as just a rumor.
Now, although the person sitting in front of him didn't seem to have any additional emotions on his face, it caused his impression of the person in the rumors to gradually match.
"You told me last night that you knew the secret of the spring, what secret was it?"
Yan Yuan finally opened his mouth and his cold voice scared Zhang Yong so much that he subconsciously backed off a little.
Thinking about the matter that he knew, was only his speculation. Thus, for a moment, he didn't know how he should explain it to Yan Yuan.
Yan Yuan noticed the glint in his eyes and his expression turned cold. His eyes congealed the coldness around him as he said, "If you dare to lie to me, be careful of your head."
"Students do not dare, students do not dare."
Zhang Yong was so frightened that he continuously kowtowed, and then told everything he knew to Yan Yuan.
It turned out that while Zhang Yong was drinking tea with a few rich examinees in the teahouse, he had inadvertently heard them mention that they would definitely be able to enter high school this time around. His confident appearance didn't seem like he was boasting.
However, Zhang Yong knew how much ink these people had in their stomachs. Let alone the first place officer of high school, even the second place officer might not have their share.
Thus, at that time, he had suspected that they were out of the question and used words to probe them a few times. In the end, he had really found out what was going on.
It was true that there would be people skipping questions in the Spring Festival, but it was still two months away and the exam questions had not been decided yet. Even if he went around saying that someone had cheated in the Spring Festival, no one would believe him.
Furthermore, since the other party dared to divulge the Spring Festival question, he must have a huge background. As he was afraid of getting himself killed, he didn't dare to divulge the truth.
Tang Wenyuan, Wei Lin, and Chu Hanlin were the three most popular players this year. Zhang Yong himself was confident that he would be able to get into the top five.
However, if something really happened and he was able to get those guys to enter the top five, he would not have any connections or evidence, so he was naturally unwilling to give up. He had to think of a way to get these three popular candidates from the Humble Class 3 to leave this spring exam.
This way, at least, he would have more opportunities.
After Yan Yuan finished listening to his narration, he also fell silent for a while.
If what Zhang Yong said was true, then the ability of the mastermind behind the scenes was not small.
The question of spring hadn't been decided yet, but there was already someone who dared to sell it? How much skill did he have? He thought that no matter who the Kaiser let this year's examiners know of it, the questions would still be leaked.
Or perhaps, the matter of changing questions did not lie in who the examiners were, but in the question itself?
For a moment, Yan Yuan was also involved in this matter, and he could not understand the crux of it.
Under normal circumstances, if nothing unexpected happened, this year's examiners would most likely fall to the Wen Yuan Pavilion's Great Scholar, Shen Qian, in other words, Shen Qin's uncle.
He has a brother, Shen Chong, who has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend it on. Money could not seduce him, and with Shen Qian's personality and character, he would definitely not do something like this.
But what if it wasn't Shen Qian?
Even he didn't know who this year's main examiner would be, but how could the other party have such confidence that he could replace the main examiner of this year's Shen Qian?
Or is it …
A cold light gathered in his eyes as he looked at Zhang Yong, who was trembling in front of him. Suddenly, he slammed his palm on the table beside him. The table was instantly split into two.
Zhang Yong was scared silly, his expression was ashen, and his body was trembling like a sieve.
"What nonsense! The questions on those exams haven't even been published yet, how did those people know the answers to the questions on the exams?"
At this time, Zhang Yong's face was already ashen, he kowtowed once again in front of Yan Yuan, begging for mercy, for fear that he would be disrespectful and end up like that table.
