Chapter 59 [Extra]
It was just dawn.
"The results are out! The results are out!"
All the students rushed forward and gathered in front of the Imperial College to watch the examiners post the list of successful candidates this year.
"Wow, why haven't I heard of this number one?"
"What does double top mean?"
"Student Chen is still very inexperienced. The two toppers on the list are the two beauties from Mingjing!"
"Ah? Whose daughter is she?"
"The daughters of the Yunshang Escort Agency, Gu Zhuiyun and Gu Zhuyue."
"Double number one, this is too exaggerated."
·
The palace examination is over.
All the talented scholars have displayed their talents in front of His Majesty.
The empress sat at the top and smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the two young women coming forward.
She began to speak: "Chasing the clouds, chasing the moon."
The two men saluted at the same time and said, "Your Highness is here."
"You two, one literary and one martial, both won the championship."
"It really shows the style of a great woman like me."
"From now on, you two must be loyal to your country and put the people first in everything you do."
"Can you do it?"
Gu Zhuiyun, holding a spear, responded, lifted his robe, half-knelt, and said, "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust."
Gu Zhuyue, dressed in plain clothes and speaking in a deep voice, also bowed: "For my country and my people, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Okay, very good."
"Today I grant you both the title of top scholar in both civil and military examinations. You will hold the rank of third rank."
"Zhuiyun, starting tomorrow, you will head west to train with General Lian."
"I obey the order."
"Zhuyue, the Prime Minister is waiting for you. You can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion now."
"yes."
Zhen Zheng watched the two of them walk out of the palace.
She smiled, then felt dazed for a moment.
A look of reminiscence flashed in her eyes as she murmured, "It's so similar, so similar."
"Luo Yan, I did it."

The night is deep.
Dou Shiqiu stood up. She looked at Guan Qing who was sleeping beside her and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
Color appeared in the pale pupils.
When her wings spread, countless moths flew around her fingertips like falling snow.
Dou Shiqiu raised his fingertips and touched Guan Qing's chest.
The moth powder fell on Guan Qing's eyes and between her nostrils. She slept even more deeply, showing no signs of waking up.
During the traction, the human-like skin revealed its wooden background.
The mechanism on Guan Qing's chest twisted, and soon, the silver moth wings wrapped in vines appeared.
It beat vigorously, that was the puppet's heart.
Dou Shiqiu looked at it, then moved his gaze upwards and saw Guan Qing's sleeping face.
The teardrop mole under her eye is pure, like a black moon.
Dou Shiqiu held Guan Qing's face.
She opened her mouth and kissed Guan Qing's lips.
The spiritual power was transferred to Guan Qing layer by layer through the tip of the tongue.
The core of the demon is becoming thinner and lighter.
It flowed from Dou Shiqiu's body to Guan Qing's chest, and then merged with the heart wrapped in wings.
The puppet's body changed.
Real flesh and blood grew out.
Her heart no longer looked like vines and wings.
The illusory blood became real, bright red blood.
Dou Shiqiu's body turned into a puff of smoke and became part of the sound of rain outside the window.
She gave all her spiritual power to Guan Qing and the puppet.
It turned back into a silvery-white moth.
And the puppet became a person.
Maybe it's not a human, but a monster that can transform into a human.
But no matter what, the puppet has thoughts and flesh and blood, so she can give birth to a soul and enter reincarnation.
What about that moth?
For the first time, it took control of its own destiny.
From then on, it could no longer become a human being.
It can become flowers, trees, breeze and clear lake water.
It will become everything in the world, free and without worries.
Well, that's her choice.
She no longer wanted to be trapped by the world.
