Chapter 42 An An is really awesome!

Qiu Ming picked one up from the ground and looked at it, then he immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I am your humble servant, your humble servant..."

Emperor Gan Heng said coldly: "My dear, why can't you speak?"

Qiu Ming was shaking like a sieve and could not utter a word for a long time as he listened to the emperor listing his crimes one by one.

"Accepting bribes privately, falsifying performance evaluations..." With every word Emperor Gan Heng said, Qiu Ming's heart sank a little.

"If a few more years pass, I'm afraid that all my subjects will bow down to Lord Qiu!"

This is a serious crime!

Qiu Ming kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Gan Hengdi waved his hand, and someone immediately dragged Qiu Ming away. Zhang Lanlan on the side could no longer speak.

"As for you," Emperor Gan Heng was too lazy to say anything more, "drag him away and give him fifty lashes."

Zhang Lanlan was dragged away before she could even scream.

"Are you satisfied with my treatment, An An?" Emperor Gan Heng asked the little man in his arms with a smile.

An An nodded: "Well, the emperor uncle is really a good emperor."

"Hahaha!" Emperor Gan Heng laughed heartily after hearing this.

The fate of the Qiu family was doomed, and Emperor Gan Heng handed the entire matter over to the crown prince for supervision.

After they returned to the Gu Mansion, life returned to its usual peaceful state.

"Guoguo~Sister-in-law~" An An still had to go there for meals every day, and Jin Li could only follow her without complaint.

But this time, I only saw Song Qingxi.

Song Qingxi fed a small bun to Xiao Tuanzi. After An An chewed and swallowed it, he looked around and said, "Hmm? Where's Guo Guo?"

Smiling and patting the little boy's head, Song Qingxi explained: "Your elder brother is reading a book to prepare for the exam!"

Gu Chen had been extremely talented in studying since he was young. He passed the imperial examination at a young age and became famous in the capital.

When people in the city were discussing that the eldest son of the Gu family might become the top scholar soon, the incident of Gu Chen's legs becoming disabled happened.

The people were all feeling sorry, and even Gu Chen himself took a long time to get over it with the comfort of his family.

However, the imperial examination has always been a thorn in Gu Chen's heart.

Now that the weather is getting warmer and the spring examination is about to begin, Gu Chen has been reviewing his lessons these days and his family members don't disturb him.

When An An heard that Da Guo Guo was going to take an exam, she covered her mouth and said, "Then, An An won't bother Guo Guo anymore!"

So he grabbed the little koi and ran away again.

Song Qingxi watched the two people's backs and smiled.

Unexpectedly, at night, An An asked someone to send a small medicine bag, saying that it could help her brother to refresh himself. Gu Chen accepted it with a smile.

Soon, the day of the Spring Examination arrived.

Gu Chen entered the Imperial Examination Hall under the gaze of his family.

"Come on, Guoguo!" Little Dumpling waved his hands to cheer Gu Chen on.

The exam lasts a long time, three days. During these three days, you have to eat and live in the room, and the conditions are very difficult.

The Gu family was eagerly waiting for Gu Chen to finish the exam.

Unexpectedly, the next day, someone shouted, "Oh no! Oh no! Something happened in the Imperial Examination Hall!"

The servant who heard the news immediately reported it to the master, and the Gu family immediately went to the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall.

The officials were seen carrying out the candidates who were supposed to be taking the exam peacefully. All of them looked pale and were holding their stomachs in pain.

"Guoguo!" An An saw his older brother and immediately ran up to him.

Jin Li followed immediately.

Gu Chen was supported by someone with a pale face, and he did not look very well.

An An immediately stretched out her hand and felt Gu Chen's pulse: "Guo Guo is poisoned!"

He immediately dragged Gu Chen back to the carriage: Go back quickly, don’t delay in detoxifying Guo Guo!

The Gu family returned home in chaos.

Gu Chen was lying on the bed, his lips were pale and he was sweating coldly. Song Qingxi wiped the sweat off his face with concern.

An An, who was standing by, had been dragging the little koi to her own small medicine garden since returning to the Gu Mansion. After selecting the herbs, she wrote a prescription and asked the servants to prepare the medicine.

"Guoguo, Guoguo, the medicine is here!!" An An pulled Jin Li, followed by a servant carrying the medicine.

After drinking the medicine, Gu Chen's face looked better: "Thank you, An An."

"Hehehe, you're welcome~" The little dumpling scratched his head.

"But, Guoguo, why did you get poisoned?" An An was a little curious.

As soon as he finished speaking, several people looked at Gu Chen at the same time.

Gu Chen coughed a few times and said, "I don't know the details, but I guess there is something wrong with the food. The emperor is sending people to investigate thoroughly, and the spring examination will be postponed."

"Then just stay at home and recuperate." Xu Tinglan said distressedly as she looked at her son, whose face was pale and whose spirits were already not good.

Gu Chen nodded and went to rest. Song Qingxi stayed by his side to take care of Gu Chen.

Just as everyone was coming out of Gu Chen's room, a servant came to report: "Madam, the two young masters of the second house are back."

An An looked confused:? ? Your other two pots?

Gu Yi looked at An An's puzzled expression, so he picked up the little girl and explained, "An An, these are the two brothers from your second uncle's family."

But these two nephews of his have been training in the military camp for many years, so why did they suddenly come back at this time?

He didn't even write a letter in advance to say hello or anything, which made Gu Yi a little confused.

When everyone arrived at the front hall, they saw two young men who were dusty and out of breath, as if they had just returned in a hurry.

Gu Tingjun looked at his two sons who looked exhausted and couldn't help asking, "Jue'er, Chi'er, why did you come back at this time?"

The second wife had two sons, the elder one was named Gu Jue and the younger one was named Gu Chi.

At the moment, both of them were exhausted: "Dad, something happened in the barracks."

After hearing this, Lord Gu's expression changed: "What's going on?"

The two of them explained the matter clearly.

Everything was fine before, but since some time ago, a strange disease suddenly broke out in the military camp. The infected people would break out in rashes all over their bodies, foam at the mouth, and die within a few days.

"We have invited several doctors, but they are all helpless." said Gu Jue and Gu Chi.

Moreover, the situation is getting more and more serious. Many soldiers have been infected with this disease. If this continues, the military strength of the Dayan Dynasty will be in danger!

So their superiors sent the two of them back to the capital at full speed to find Marquis Gu and report the matter to the emperor.

"Hmm? Go safely!" The little girl in Gu Yi's arms understood. It was just a strange disease!

As a little fairy grass, of course I can do it!

"Who is this little baby?" Gu Jue looked at the little ball in Gu Yi's arms and asked.

"This is my daughter, her name is An An." Gu Yi said with a smile, "Come, An An, call me brother Jue."

"Jue Guoguo." The little dumpling spoke crisply.

Gu Jue was a little surprised: how come he didn’t know that his aunt suddenly had a daughter? But now was not the time to ask this.

"An An is really good!!" Little Dumpling raised his hand proudly.

The Gu family stared at An An and fell into deep thought.
