I have already taken out all the harvest from the building and divided it among everyone. Zhang Ke will definitely not give up when he knows that his son died in the building. If he still stays in Wanhua Tower, he will probably not have a good ending.

Everyone should go back to their hometowns if they should, and find someone to marry if they should. You will meet each other in the future if you are destined to. You don’t have to worry about your sisters anymore.”

"Yes, yes, Sister Ruyan, we will find a way out. Sister Ruyan, don't worry about us."

Ji Ruyan couldn't help but sigh when she saw her sisters like this. She returned to the courtyard and prepared to take all the valuables to Wanhua Tower, but she didn't expect the emperor to be standing at the door. She was startled and shrank her neck.

"Where are you going?" The emperor had been waiting for her nearby for a long time. He watched her rush into the house and ignore him.

I couldn't help but feel a little amused. I waited here for a long time, trying to get her attention. Finally, I saw her look up and stood in front of me, but I didn't expect to scare her.

Ji Ruyan squeaked and whined, "I just wanted to go back and give my things to my sisters. Your Majesty, aren't you busy with the imperial examination? Why did you come back so early today?"

The emperor sat aside and looked at her with satisfaction. "I feel quite bored, so I came to see you. What do you think of the poem I talked to you about last time?"

Ruyan is indeed a talented woman. It is natural to feel comfortable chatting with her, so he is obsessed with her and can't forget her. He can even dream about her at night and have a lot of fun with her. He can't wait to bring her back to the palace and make her his own.

"Your Majesty, Ruyan feels that there must be some misunderstanding between you and me. Please don't come to see me again in the future. I really can't bear it."

Ruyan lowered her head, not daring to look directly into his majestic tiger eyes, fearing that one look would scare her into silence, and her hard-won courage would disappear. The emperor looked at her in confusion, and her frightened face seemed to be very resistant to him, "Am I really that scary?"

"How could that be? The Emperor is the supreme ruler. Outsiders cannot wait to worship him, so how could they be afraid of him?" Ruyan did not want to please him, but she also did not want to lower her status.

"You seem to dislike me very much, and you don't seem to want to have anything to do with me. Am I right?" The emperor strolled up to her and directly grasped her pointed chin, forcing her eyes to meet his tiger eyes, trying to find a clue from her eyes.

"Your Majesty, Ruyan, I really didn't mean that." Ji Ruyan's words completely angered him. These ambiguous words were already very familiar to him. He kissed her lips roughly. Ruyan was startled and hurriedly pushed him away, patting his chest desperately before pushing him away.

"How dare you hit me? No one in the world has been so rude to me." The emperor put his hands behind his back in a rage. If it were an ordinary person who treated him badly, the whole family would have been executed. However, the woman in front of him was stubborn. Yes, he was very satisfied! She was like a wild horse that needed to be tamed.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. Ruyan, I really didn't do it on purpose." Ji Ruyan felt a loud bang in her head and a sense of uneasiness rose in her heart. She quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice.

"Forget it! Why don't you tell me what happened in the building and whether you need my help." The emperor softened his temper for a rare time and helped her up.

Ji Ruyan looked at him in panic. It was true that serving the king was like serving a tiger. You couldn't say a single wrong word.

That night, Zhang Ke had bribed his assassins to set a fire near Wanhua Tower. With Ruyan's help, the people in the building had already evacuated. Now only an empty building was burning. The next morning, the news of the burning Wanhua Tower spread throughout the streets and alleys.

After hearing about this, Gu Yunru placed a bowl of rice porridge on the table and said to Wang Xiucai and Rong Zhen, "You have heard that on the day of your exam, Zhang Mo went to the brothel to have some fun, but he was assassinated by an assassin. However, this female assassin is quite skilled and seems to want to kill Ruyan as well."

Suddenly, I heard the sound of dishes falling to the ground, and I found the culprit. It turned out that Mr. Wang became distracted after hearing the news about Ruyan.

"Is Ruyan still in danger?" Wang Xiucai asked impatiently. Rong Zhen ate the buns in front of him slowly and said calmly, "Of course she is not in danger. If she was in danger, her attitude would be different."

"My husband is the one who understands me best. Fortunately, Ruyan gave them some money in advance so that they could stay in a nearby inn. Now they are probably out of Yangzhou City, and those who need to find a living should go find one. I knew something would happen in Wanhua Tower." Gu Yunru patted his chest proudly.

After Rong Zhen finished his meal, he went out for a walk with Gu Yunru. Gu Yunru saw that he looked very worried, so she walked on the street with him arm in arm.

"Husband, did you not do well in the exam again?" Seeing his gloomy look, Gu Yunru knew the answer without asking.

"How do you know?"

"Your expertise is not in exams, so it's expected that you didn't do well on the test. I think the chances of Lu Sheng and Wang Xiucai are greater. When the results are announced, perhaps Wang Xiucai and Ruyan can become a couple." Gu Yunru had a beautiful fantasy in his heart. He hoped that lovers could finally get married and couldn't bear to see couples being separated.

"Do you really think Wang Xiu can be with Ruyan? My brother's temper is getting more and more violent now, a bit like me back then."

"The Emperor? No way. I remember the first time I met the Emperor, he was gentle and polite, and his demeanor was many times better than you. He was also very humble and loved by everyone." Gu Yunru recalled the first time she met the Emperor. It was almost more than ten years ago, and the memory was a little blurry.

"Then your husband has been trained well by you, right?" Rong Zhen suddenly stopped and said to her seriously. Gu Yunru felt uncomfortable under his burning gaze. Why did so many people on the street say such ambiguous and explicit words to her? "Oh. Don't say these things in public..." Gu Yunru smiled at him and waited until the results were announced, which was when the emperor had finished his important work here.

Dubrow, Zhang Ke and others were always worried. They met in the pavilion at night. They knew that Zhang Ke had recently lost his beloved son, so he had been in a daze and depressed.

"Master Zhang, you can't fail. How many people are waiting for you to regain your glory?!"

Dubrow said this and immediately poured him a glass of fine wine, hoping that he would feel better.

"Now that my son has died tragically... why are you still saying these sarcastic words to me?"

Zhang Ke rolled his eyes at him silently and drank the wine in one gulp. Only he knew the bitter taste of this feeling, but Dubrow didn't know that his spoiled daughter was still safe.

"We both have only one child. I understand how you feel about losing your child, but if you don't work harder, we will be the ones to suffer. The imperial examination has been reformed, and the emperor has sent people to investigate us. If you don't work harder..."
