Chapter 2178 The Imperial Examination Ends
Shu Yu was not far from the gate of the examination hall, so he naturally followed along.
Meng Yunzheng was the first to come out the previous two times, but this time no one was seen. Instead, a middle-aged man came out first.
Shu Yu was a little worried, and Zhao Xi frowned even more, "Could something have happened on the last day?"
He knew this kid's nature; he would definitely rush out to see Shu Yu as soon as the exam was over, and now a quarter of an hour had passed.
Shu Yu looked around and finally spotted a somewhat familiar figure, who seemed to be a candidate from Changjin Prefecture, someone she had seen before.
She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Young master, have you seen Meng Yunzheng?"
The latter, unsteady on his feet, mistook the voice for his own servant and stumbled forward.
Fortunately, Zhao Xi reacted quickly and caught the person, asking, "Are you alright?"
While they were talking, I took the person's pulse and confirmed that they were just lacking energy, so I quickly gave them some hot water.
Only then did the other person realize who the people in front of him were. He took a sip of water and was supported by someone to catch his breath before saying in a hoarse voice, "Oh, right, you are the Princess of Wen'an County. You want to ask Brother Meng, right?"
"Yes, I didn't see him come out."
The examinee waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Brother Xun fainted halfway out of the examination hall after finishing the exam. Brother Meng is taking care of him and he'll be out in a little while."
Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, handed the person over to the servant who had rushed over, and then quietly continued to wait.
As most of the people from the examination hall gradually came out, Shu Yu finally saw Meng Yunzheng carrying Xun Sheng as he stepped out of the gate.
Several people rushed forward, and Zhao Xi took Xun Sheng away without hesitation. After examining him, he waved his hand and said to the Xun family servants who had also rushed over, "He's fine. He's just been tense all the time. Now that the exam is over, he relaxed all of a sudden and fainted. Take him back and let him get some rest. When he wakes up, he can eat some easily digestible food."
"Thank you, Dr. Zhao, thank you."
The Xun family servants thanked Meng Yunzheng again and then quickly led the people back to the inn where they were staying.
Shu Yu helped Meng Yunzheng into the carriage, and they headed straight for the small courtyard in the south of the city.
Meng Yunzheng's condition was similar to the previous two times. It was as if he could be reborn and refreshed after just one night's rest, just like the first day he entered the examination room.
Now that the exam is over, the group finally asked him about his experience.
Meng Yunzheng remained calm, saying, "I feel alright."
As for the rest, he couldn't say.
After all, examiners have different preferences, and if they happen to encounter an examiner who doesn't like the type of essay he writes, there's nothing that can be done.
When he got home, Shuyou and the others had already prepared a delicious meal, just waiting to treat him properly.
Meng Yunzheng changed his clothes, sat down in a chair, closed his eyes, and said, "It's still more comfortable at home."
Zhao Xi put an apron on his son, who was struggling with a chicken leg, and chuckled when he heard this, "Of course, you can't even stretch your legs out in that exam room."
Shu Yu: "Now it's finally over. Next up is the palace examination, which only takes one day and won't be so tiring."
Zhao Xi wanted to laugh at her. For others, the pressure of the palace examination was much greater, right? Only Meng Yunzheng, who had known the current emperor for a long time, could remain calm during the exam in front of him.
Just as the group was enjoying themselves, a knock came from outside. "Meng Yunzheng, I've brought you some people."
