Chapter 399: I Want to Get Married

Ying Zhilin was afraid of disturbing Qi Yunzhou's treatment, so he quietly walked to the side of the young leader Yuan and stood side by side with him.

It took a long time before Leader Yuan completed the treatment.

Cold sweat soaked his clothes.

After the medicine boy helped him change his clothes, Wen Yan and the others went in to talk.

Qi Yunzhou was very weak after waking up. After a few days of rest, he was able to muster the energy to communicate.

"Brother Ying, can you recite the exam questions to me? I'd like to try them out while I'm recovering and bored."

"Okay, I'll write it down for you in a moment." Ying Zhilin nodded in agreement.

After chatting about some matters related to the imperial examination, they started talking about the case.

"We are almost certain that the person who attacked you was Wen Ruyue, and the mastermind behind it is probably Huo Yaoxing, the heir of the Jinping Marquisate."

"That's not right!" Qi Yunzhou licked his dry and chapped lips before continuing, "There were two groups of people who attacked me.

If Huo Yaoxing's goal is to prevent me from taking the imperial examination, he can just cripple my hands and feet.

The second group came after me, each blow aimed at my vital points."

"Do you have a suspect?" Wen Yan brought a cup of tea and prepared to feed it to him.

"Let me do it." Ying Zhilin stopped him halfway and fed Qi Yunzhou two spoonfuls of water.

"I'm not sure. It's just that before I was attacked, I had a conflict with Xie Congyi, and we stopped him from molesting the girl." Qi Yunzhou said.

Xie Congyi!

Flirting with girls!

Could it be that Xie Congyi was teasing Ning Tan?

You bastard, you still don’t give up!

Fortunately, Ning Tan and Concubine Gong went to Dazhao Temple, so Xie Congyi didn't have the guts to harass her again.

Wen Yan clenched his fists instantly.

If I get the chance next time, I will definitely give him a good beating.

"Just focus on recovering from your injuries, I'll also send someone to check on Xie Congyi.

But Huo Yaoxing has done a very clean job, and the clues have been cut off. I'm afraid it's impossible to bring him to justice."

Qi Yunzhou slowly closed his eyes: "I will personally avenge this vengeance."

Since Huo Yaoxing was worried that he would surpass him in the imperial examination, he would make sure that he would never make any progress in his official career.

"Well, since we all have a common enemy, why not cooperate?" Wen Yan suggested, "After all, you have to wait another three years before taking the next imperial examination.

With the connections at the Jinping Marquisate, he would have already risen through the ranks. It would be difficult for you to fight him."

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you." Qi Yunzhou agreed immediately.

If he hesitated for even a second longer, it would be disrespectful to revenge.

"Since we are partners in the future, you should take good care of yourself and recover. We will be responsible for your life in the capital."

After finalizing the cooperation intention, Qi Yunzhou was already tired and sleepy, so Wen Yan and the others said goodbye and left.

After saying goodbye to the young leader Yuan, Wen Yan and the other two returned to "Yidian Mo".

First, I took a comfortable hot bath and changed into clean and fresh clothes.

Wen Yan accompanied him to eat and then let him go to sleep and rest.

"I'm not sleepy." Ying Zhilin held on with a book.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he yawned loudly.

Wen Yan forced him into the bedroom.

**

The sun sets.

A low-key carriage slowly drove into the palace gate.

"Mother!"

In Concubine Lan's bedroom, a stunning woman wearing a long fox fur coat hurried in.

She threw herself into Concubine Lan's arms: "Mother, I miss you!"

"You little heartless boy, how long has it been since you came to see your mother?" Lan Fei Lan Yu snorted and turned her head away from the beautiful woman.

The two of them look about 50% similar, both as beautiful as incense.

The stunning woman threw herself into Lan Yu's arms again: "Oh, mother, please don't be angry, Xiang'er didn't mean to not come to see you.

Since my daughter has good news, please forgive her."

"Good news? What good news do you have? Could it be that the bastard born to the Queen died outside?"

"That bastard has been outside the palace for years. I can't even remember what he looks like, so how could I possibly know anything about him?" The stunning woman said shyly, "Mother, haven't you always wanted me to get married? Now I'm willing to marry."

"Really? Are you really willing to get married?" Concubine Lan was not only displeased, but also looked at Ji Xiang suspiciously, "Tell me, who do you like?"

"He was a Jinshi, and he was very handsome. When my daughter saw him, her heart started pounding.

Mother, my daughter wants to marry him."

"Jinshi? I think it's just Juren! Did you go to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall today?" The daughter did not reveal the other party's identity, and it seemed that he was not a child of a noble family in the capital.

"Hehe, nothing can be hidden from my mother. My mother is indeed the most intelligent and gentle woman in the world!"

"Don't flatter me. You are a son of Dayong. An ordinary scholar is not worthy of you. I don't agree to this marriage."

"No, I like him and I want to marry him.

Moreover, he was not just an ordinary candidate, he was the top scorer in the provincial examination. It was easy for him to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.

Even if he fails the exam, Mom can just find someone to help him become a Jinshi.

Anyway, I won’t marry anyone else except him.”

"You..." Concubine Lan sighed, "Things are different now. If it were last year, not to mention becoming a Jinshi, even becoming the top scholar would only require a word from mother!

Now your uncle is still in the Dali Temple and there are jackals, tigers and leopards outside.

We can’t act rashly anymore, understand?”

"No, no, I just want to marry him. I won't marry anyone else but him." The stunning woman rolled on the ground throwing a tantrum.

Lan Yu was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she quickly calmed down.

Now that my eldest brother is in jail and the evidence is solid, according to Dayong law, he should have been sentenced long ago.

It was the emperor's favor for her that kept the case suppressed.

Only now did she realize that her elder brother was still too weak.

After the eldest brother went to jail, the Lan family hoped that he would be dismissed from office.

In this way, for the sake of her children's future, she had no choice but to support other members of the Lan family.

But she was unwilling to give up.

She and her elder brother were bullied in the Lan family, so why should they get away with it now!

It’s time for me to cultivate some new forces.

Marriage may not be a bad idea.

"As long as he can pass the imperial examination, I will agree to this marriage."

"Thank you, mother. I knew you were the best!" Ji Xiangyun threw herself into Concubine Lan's arms, acting coquettishly.

Lan Yu forced a forced smile.

Since he is the top scorer in the exam, it means he has some abilities and should have made some connections.

When the time comes, I can give her some support and it will definitely be of use to her.

One Jinshi is far from enough.

She should try to win over some more students.

As a concubine, it was not appropriate for her to leave the palace often to do business, let alone come into contact with scholars.

She waved her hand at Ji Xiangyun in disdain: "Go, call your eldest brother."

My son is not young anymore, it’s time to build some power that belongs only to him.
