Chapter 454: The results are announced, Murong Yan is the top scorer

Xiao Jinxuan came here for two reasons: one was to say goodbye to Xie Zhuoning, and the other was to take Yi Ziyan away.

The moment he heard that he could leave, Yi Ziyan shed two lines of excited tears.

Finally, I don’t have to live this torturous life anymore!

But before leaving, he asked Feiyunwei for a piece of black cloth to cover his head, then took off his clothes, put on his trousers backwards, beat the gongs and drums, and walked around the courtyard with a crutch while shouting "I am a pig".

Because it was so eye-catching, Xie Zhuoning and Song Yuqiu originally wanted to go out to watch the excitement, but were forcibly held in the house by Xiao Jinxuan. They could only hear the voices of "I am a pig" all around them.

"Why does it sound so sad?" Song Yuqiu originally just wanted to vent his anger, but now he also felt a little guilty, "Amitabha, I am guilty. I shouldn't have bullied the blind man."

Xiao Jinxuan said calmly, "He has hundreds of lives on his hands, including some good officials. Even Aning was tortured to death by him."

If Yi Ziyan had not offered the list as a bargain, and the condition in exchange was to be buried alive with King Yong, he would have personally put an end to this scum and would not have let him live for this period of time.

Song Yuqiu immediately changed his words, "Pooh, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person!"

Xie Zhuoning was amused by her, "Ayu, why are you so cute?"

"Really? I think so too..." Song Yuqiu was feeling happy after being praised, but when she turned her head and saw the person next to her who was breathing coldly, her smiling face suddenly turned into a crying face, "...Sister Zhuo Ning, please stop praising me. I don't like being praised. Please praise others more."

Especially the guy next to him, he acted like he was trying to steal his wife!

After Yi Ziyan fulfilled his promise, Xiao Jinxuan led his people away from the courtyard.

Before leaving, he hugged Xie Zhuoning tightly, then turned around and walked away quickly.

He didn't dare to stop, let alone look back.

After leaving the courtyard, he called Ling Feng out and said, "If I don't come back this time, you will take the princess away from the capital."

Hearing this solemn tone, Ling Feng paused for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

…

"One, two, three..." Xie Zhuoning counted the bees under his control, his joy beyond words.

During these days, Song Yuqiu's technique of extracting pheromones has become more and more sophisticated. Xie Zhuoning, referring to the insect control tips left by Yi Ziyan, has also gradually begun to get the hang of it.

Just when she was happy, she suddenly remembered something important in her mind, "Oh no, how could I forget that the results will be announced today!"

She didn't know how Murong Yan did in the exam. She was not worried about his ability, but was worried that she had interfered too much in this life and had affected him.

Thinking of this, she immediately went back to her room to change her clothes and prepare to go into the city. "Ayu, I want to go to Beijing. Do you want to go?"

With dark circles under his eyes, Song Yuqiu floated to the bedside like a ghost and landed on the bed with a bang.

The next moment, a light snoring sound was heard.

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

Well, she's been extracting pheromones day and night these days, and she's obviously exhausted.

Xie Zhuoning changed his clothes and set off. He hurried all the way and finally arrived.

Looking up, there were huge crowds of people.

People don't walk, but just follow the flow of people to wherever they can go.

"Miss, there are no seats in the teahouse." Xia Julian went to ask many places, but no matter whether they were teahouses or restaurants, all the seats along the street were booked early.

Those who came to see the announcement of the results were not only the students of the imperial examination and their family and friends, but also many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, who were waiting here with their families, observing the young talents coming and going, just waiting to find a son-in-law from under the list.

"It's out, the imperial edict is out!"

Someone shouted loudly, but the crowd immediately rushed towards the imperial edict.

Some were distraught, some were shouting loudly, and the place was in chaos.

No matter how skilled Xia Ju was in martial arts, he couldn't use his skills in this situation. He could only carefully protect Xie Zhuoning from being squeezed by the people around him.

Xie Zhuoning was extremely anxious. "Xia Ju, it's hard for me to get in with you protecting me. So, go to the front and read the imperial edict yourself. Then tell me the result."

Xia Ju shook her head, "No."

She couldn't leave her young lady alone.

"It's okay for me, go!" Xie Zhuoning urged.

Xia Ju had no choice but to let her go and squeeze forward.

At this moment, two groups of servants in different costumes pushed the common people aside and opened up two paths.

Two young ladies from wealthy families, dressed very gorgeously, came slowly towards us, supported by someone.

Xie Zhuoning took a quick glance and recognized the two people.

One is Fu Yue'er, the daughter of Earl Yongkang, and the other is Wu Jingyu, the beloved daughter of Lord Wu of the Hanlin Academy.

The two have never gotten along well.

Sure enough, as soon as they met, tension between the two people immediately emerged.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Fu who is too picky? I heard that she has discussed marriage several times but it didn't work out, and now she has come to the list to pick a son-in-law in person?"

"Oh, no one should say anything. Didn't you, Wu Jingyu, also hear that the prince was going to strongly support the students of this year's imperial examination, and hurried to find a good son-in-law?"

"Well, I'm sorry, but I've already fallen for Murong Yan, the top scholar of this year's exam. You don't have to think about him anymore."

"Who wants a man who has a baby and whose engagement was broken off by the Zhenyang Marquis's Mansion? I'm after the third place winner in the imperial examination, He Mingyang!"

Xie Zhuoning exclaimed, "Ah!"

There is such a good thing. I heard Murong Yan's ranking just by listening to some gossip, and also mentioned He Mingyang. If I had known earlier, I would have let Xia Ju squeeze something.

Murong Yan really lived up to everyone's expectations and passed the imperial examination with top scorer, just like in his previous life.

After hearing the news, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a pity that they relaxed their tone too early. Wu Jingyu's words obviously hurt Fu Yue'er, and the servants they brought with them started fighting right in the street.

As the people were fleeing in panic, someone bumped into Xie Zhuoning, causing her shoulder to hurt and she fell to the ground.

In such a panicked crowd, if someone falls down, it will be fatal. One person can step on someone to death!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ling Feng immediately called for Feiyun Guards, but there were too many people and it would take time to squeeze in.

At this moment, someone shouted, "The top scholar is here! The third scholar is here too!"

Murong Yan and He Mingyang are both very famous people nowadays. When they appear on the stage, everyone looks at them, and many even come forward to talk to them.

But neither of them paid any attention. They pushed through the crowd with anxious looks on their faces and headed in one direction.

When Fu Yue'er and Wu Jingyu saw the two people walking towards them, they quickly straightened their hair and clothes and smiled gently and affectionately.

"Mr. Murong..."

"Mr. Congratulations..."

They both spoke at almost the same time and took a step forward.

But Murong Yan and He Mingyang seemed not to notice them and ran straight towards Xie Zhuoning who was knocked down.

"Are you okay?"

"Did you fall anywhere?"

"I'll take you to see a doctor."

"I also know a good doctor who specializes in treating injuries."

The two of them chatted back and forth, and Xie Zhuoning's mouth twitched when he heard this. "No, I was wearing a veil and blending in with the crowd, how could you recognize me?"
