After Shangguan Ran and his sister left, Ling Shumo planned to personally carry Xue Wu to the nearest palace to rest.
Suddenly, a man's voice rang out from the lakeside, "Master Chu, there's a purse floating on the river. Although the workmanship is a bit worn, the stitching is very delicate. I wonder which young master dropped it."
The man was an apprentice studying medicine with Chu Changying. Chu Changying took the purse casually. The side of the purse was probably scratched by a branch in the water, and several sections of the thread were broken.
Chu Changying noticed very keenly that there seemed to be something placed in the purse. He reached out curiously to pull out the things inside, and his two fingers just pinched the note placed inside.
Xue Wu screamed in shock, "Don't move, that's my purse, give it back to me immediately."
Xue Wu was rescued from the water, and his heart had calmed down by now, but when he saw the purse in Chu Changying's hand, all the blood drained from his face in an instant.
The inner layer of this purse is embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns. It is the one he hid at the bottom of the wardrobe. Inside the inner layer, there is a love poem written to him by Song Shiying.
Xue Wu's reaction was too intense. Ling Shumo, who had originally not taken the purse seriously, was now curious.
At this time, Chu Changying had already torn out the entire note.
Chu Changying was not a curious person. When he heard Xue Wu say that the purse was his, he was about to return the purse and the note to Xue Wu.
But when he saw the handwriting on the note, he stopped immediately after extending his hand halfway.
Chu Changying carefully unfolded the wet paper.
He stared at the love poem on the paper, almost staring a hole in the thin piece of paper.
Xue Wu's body trembled uncontrollably.
Ling Shumo moved closer to Chu Changying and read the contents of the note.
It was a love poem titled "To my most beloved Awu", and the signature was a big "Song".
Ling Shumo's face darkened. She was just about to question Xue Wu, but Chu Changying beside her was even more excited than her.
Chu Changying squeezed Xue Wu's shoulders tightly, his eyes filled with excitement. "Who wrote this? Where is the person who wrote this poem? I beg you, please take me to see her quickly."
Xue Wu's shoulders were pinched so hard that they hurt, but he was now weak and powerless, and had no strength to break free from Chu Changying's restraints.
Ling Shumo slapped Chu Changying's hand away. Her voice was as cold as if covered with a layer of frost. "Xue Wu, can you explain to me what this note means?"
Xue Wu's lips were trembling even more violently than his body, but he opened his mouth several times but couldn't utter a word.
Xue Wu didn't say anything, but when Ling Shumo saw the "Song" in the signature, she guessed who wrote this note to Xue Wu. "Is this a love poem Song Shiying wrote to you?"
Xue Wu still didn't say anything.
Chu Changying grasped the key point of Ling Shumo's words. He murmured to himself, "Song Shiying... Song Shiying... Why does this name sound so familiar?"
Chu Changying searched carefully for information about Song Shiying in his mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "I remember now, the new number one scholar chosen by His Majesty this year seems to be named Song Shiying."
The system immediately came back to life, "Host, how come you recognize the handwriting of the new champion? I don't think you've ever seen her before."
Chu Changying still had a joyful smile on his face, but tears welled up in his eyes. "Tongzi, do you still remember the girlfriend I mentioned to you about my past life? The handwriting on this note is exactly the same as hers. She also traveled through time, she also traveled through time. I'm finally not alone anymore..."
When Chu Changying said this, the tears in his eyes flowed even more violently. He cried and laughed, like a madman.
The silence of the system was deafening.
Although it is not a human, it can also see Chu Changying's deep love for his girlfriend.
But the girlfriend he mentioned wrote a love poem to another man.
The system wanted to say something, but seeing how happy Chu Changying was, it was actually a little reluctant to pour cold water on Chu Changying for a moment.
Over there, Ling Shumo's hand had already grabbed Xue Wu's neck. "Xue Wu, I thought I treated you well. Your food, clothing, and daily necessities were all the most precious in the Eastern Palace. I thought if I treated you well, you would stay by my side peacefully. But you secretly hid love poems written by another woman. Xue Wu, I am so disappointed in you."
Xue Wu was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. His brain gradually lacked oxygen, his vision became blurry, and he could not even hear clearly what Ling Shumo said next.
At this time, Chu Changying finally came out of his own world and looked at the two people beside him.
Ling Shumo looked like she wanted to strangle Xue Wu to death.
Xue Wu has started rolling his eyes.
Ling Shumo's hand suddenly loosened, "Shi Qi, I remember the top scholar also came to the Qianqiu Palace Banquet, go and invite him over now."
Xue Wu fell backwards to the ground in a mess.
Chu Changying's body trembled uncontrollably. Unlike Xue Wu's fear, his eyes were now filled with tears and he was extremely excited.
Ling Shumo's voice was cold. "If Song Shiying has the guts to snatch the man of the current princess, I will respect her as a true woman. On the other hand, if she is afraid of power and dares not even admit her affair with you, then I will allow her to kill you with her own hands. If she kills someone, I can forgive her."
Meanwhile, Song Shi-young was toasting his future mother-in-law.
When the news of Song Shiying's success in the imperial examination spread, many officials wanted to marry their sons to the promising top scorer.
Song Shiying finally chose to get engaged to the youngest son of the Minister of Personnel.
The Ministry of Personnel is the most powerful institution among the six ministries, and the influence of the Minister of Personnel in the court is no less than that of the Prime Minister.
When Qi said that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess specifically asked to see her, Song Shiying's face was full of confusion.
When she was in Zhongdu, she knew that Xue Wu had been favored by the Crown Princess.
Just now, the Queen rewarded Xue Wu in Changle Palace, and she witnessed the whole thing from beginning to end.
But she didn't think about Xue Wu at all.
She thought that if Xue Wu married the Crown Princess, he would keep his past affair with her to himself.
After all, if one dares to cuckold the princess of the current dynasty, the punishment would not be as simple as a death sentence with a cup of poison.
