Xuan Ling said, "You two are to immediately raid all candle workshops in the capital, leaving no one behind. Also, thoroughly investigate the identities of all merchants in the city, and close the city gates for three days."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The guards carried Qi Yan to the Imperial Hospital.
Xuan Ling sat back on the throne and said, "Clean up this place and let the adults come in to continue reviewing the papers."
After a while, it seemed as if the fighting just now had not existed in the hall.
The Grand Secretaries were marking the papers attentively, and Xuan Ling was reviewing the papers that they had graded.
In the back hall of the Yangxin Palace, Aunt Mingyue came in.
"My Lady, good news! The assassin has been annihilated."
Sheng Xiyan and Jiang Jiang suddenly jumped up from the couch.
"Where's the Emperor? Is he alright?"
"Where is Father?"
"The Emperor is still reviewing papers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony."
As soon as Mingyue finished speaking, Sheng Xiyan and Jiang Jiang ran out of the Yangxin Palace like lightning.
The mother and son ran to the Hall of Supreme Harmony without stopping.
After a stick of incense, he finally ran into the courtyard of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Sheng Xiyan held her waist and panted, she really couldn't run anymore.
Queen Duan came out from the inner hall.
"Her Majesty the Queen."
Empress Duan comforted her:
"Concubine Chen, the emperor is fine, you don't have to worry. Qi Yan is seriously injured and has been poisoned by the soul-stealing poison. The imperial physician is helpless."
Sheng Xiyan frowned, stood there in a daze, and was about to go inside.
Queen Duan said:
"Concubine Chen, the Emperor is reviewing papers with several Grand Secretaries. It's not convenient for you to go in. Please wait here."
After saying that, he took Qingdai's hand and left.
Jiang Jiang ran very fast with his short legs and scurried to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in front.
Before he even entered the door, he shouted, "Father, Father!"
Xuan Ling raised his eyes and saw that the little guy had an anxious look on his face, his little nose and eyes were squeezed together, and his worry was written all over his face.
But why is Sheng Xiyan not behind him?
While he was thinking, Jiang Jiang had already rushed in front of him.
"Father, are you okay?"
The little hand touched his body and saw the tattered cloth on his chest, and she was so scared that she burst into tears.
"Father, you've been stabbed! Father! Does it hurt?"
Tears streaming down her face, she cried with her mouth wide open.
Xuan Ling's heart was shaken, and his eyes became moist and hot.
I picked him up and patted his back to comfort him.
"Father is fine, baby, don't worry."
Several ministers were moved to tears.
"No wonder the emperor loves the young master so much. The young master is filial and considerate."
Xuan Ling showed Jiang Jiang his chest and said, "You see, only the clothes are torn. What's inside?"
He touched it with his little hand and it was cool. "Father, what is this?"
"With the golden soft hedgehog armor protecting him, Father is completely fine. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
He was about to burst into laughter and reached out to touch the soft armor.
"I'm glad that Father is okay, hehe."
Xuan Ling looked outside the hall, wishing that Sheng Xiyan would run towards him like Jiang Jiang and ask him worriedly if he was hurt.
But after waiting for a while, no one came in.
"Jiang Jiang, where is your mother?"
"Mother?"
Jiang Jiang thought for a moment, oh, I ran too fast and lost my mother?
Xuan Ling guessed something and his eyes darkened.
Half an hour later.
He evaluated the 300 successful candidates in the palace examination, among whom the first one was called the zhuangyuan, the second one was the bangyan, and the third one was the tanhua.
Finally, the sealing official and the collecting official will collect the test papers, post the rankings, and wait for the results to be announced two days later.
After the eight palace examination officials left with the test papers, the hall fell silent.
Xuan Ling asked coldly, "Where is Consort Chen?"
Eunuch Fu was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. He said tremblingly: "The Concubine Chen, she went to the Imperial Hospital."
