Chapter 455 Is it possible that he likes you?
"Who is that woman?"
"Seeing that both the top scholar and the third scholar are so concerned about her, could it be... that she is the girl they like?"
"Oh my god, they already have someone they like, so does that mean we don't have a chance?"
Fu Yue'er and Wu Jingyu didn't expect that after arguing for a long time, they were overtaken by someone else. After looking at each other, they immediately rushed forward with a common hatred.
"Oh, is the girl okay? I was reckless and frightened you. I'm really sorry. I don't know where the girl lives. I'll send someone to give her a gift and apologize later."
"Yes, I think the girl looks familiar. I wonder if I have seen her somewhere before?"
How could they not be familiar with each other? Fu Yue'er and Wu Jingyu were frequent guests at every flower banquet and poetry party. Even if they had no connection with Xie Zhuoning, they had met each other several times.
Although her current identity is not Xie Zhuoning, but with Xie Zhuoning's face, others can tell her identity at a glance.
Prince Xuan favors his concubine, and she flirts with the top two candidates in the imperial examination in public, and they have a very close relationship. What will happen if this news gets out?
Xie Zhuoning had never expected that he could see so many things just by looking at the results, and he was immediately overwhelmed.
He pinched his throat and said, "It's okay, I was careless..."
Before he could finish his words, He Mingyang picked him up and said, "Whether you are okay or not, the doctor has the final say."
This action was so sudden that Xie Zhuoning was startled and immediately struggled, "What are you doing? Put me down!"
Murong Yan's expression changed instantly, "Brother He, don't mess around!"
He Mingyang lowered his voice and said to the two of them, "Now is not the time to talk about this. There are more and more people gathering around us. Let's leave here first."
Then he returned to his normal tone, "Don't worry, I'll take you to see a doctor right away."
After saying that, he rushed out holding the person in his arms, "Make way, make way!"
Seeing this, Murong Yan clenched his fist and immediately shouted, "The runner-up is over there!"
After diverting everyone's attention, he quickly followed.
"Boss, are we going to save the princess?" Feiyunwei asked Lingfeng.
Ling Feng shook his head and stopped Xia Ju who was rushing over. "I don't think He Mingyang is a threat to the princess' life. Don't reveal the princess' identity yet. Let's wait and see what happens."
In the clinic.
He Mingyang said anxiously, "Doctor Xu, please check Miss Yu to see if she is injured anywhere!"
Doctor Xu came over and saw that he was still holding the man in his arms, so he said, "Master He, please put him down first."
"Oh, okay." He Mingyang seemed to have just reacted and quickly put the person down.
On the side, Murong Yan looked at his unusual behavior and narrowed his eyes.
Soon, Doctor Xu finished examining Xie Zhuoning. "The girl is in good health and has no injuries."
Xie Zhuoning rubbed his neck and said, "I said I was fine. In fact, if you had run slower, I would have stood up by myself."
He Mingyang and Murong Yan both breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that everything is alright."
Xie Zhuoning looked up at the two of them and said, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you two yet. You two are both ranked top in the high school class. This is a great joy!"
"Yes, finally, I lived up to your expectations." Murong Yan looked at her, with a little smile in his eyes.
At first he was just a poor scholar selling paintings on the street, but she was so sure that he would pass the imperial examination.
Sometimes he would feel confused and doubtful, afraid that he might not be able to do it, and would he disappoint her expectations?
Fortunately, he finally achieved his wish.
He Mingyang couldn't help but look at Murong Yan more when he heard the words "lived up to expectations". He always felt that there was no way he could get involved in the atmosphere between them.
Last time he asked Murong Yan if he liked Miss Yu, Murong Yan said they were not the same kind of people.
But Murong Yan is now the top scholar in the imperial examination, and his future is limitless. Even the daughters of wealthy families have begun to approach him. If he goes to a family to propose marriage, I believe that few families will refuse him, right?
When he thought of this, he felt irritated.
What about Miss Yu? What is her attitude towards Murong Yan?
"Brother Murong is now in high school. I don't know how many girls in the capital are attracted to him. According to Brother Murong's age, he has established a career and it is time for him to start a family. Miss Yu, don't you think so?"
Xie Zhuoning thought about it and agreed. "Then I will list the women in the capital who have the right family background, age and character. Murong, you can take a look and see if there is any you like."
Murong Yan immediately shook his head, "I have a child with me, so I shouldn't harm a girl from a good family. But Brother He, not everyone can be the third place winner. Just based on Brother He's talent and appearance, I think he is the one that attracts all the girls in the capital."
The hot potato was thrown back into He Mingyang's hands. He Mingyang met Murong Yan's eyes, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then smiled, "Don't worry, Brother Murong. I already have a girl I like. When the time is right, I will come to propose in person."
As he spoke, his eyes moved to Xie Zhuoning, paused for a moment, and then looked away.
"Really?" Xie Zhuoning asked with a smile, "I don't know which family she is from?"
"Keep it a secret." He Mingyang blinked. "After all, it hasn't happened yet. If I tell anyone, it might ruin the girl's reputation."
This made sense, and Xie Zhuoning did not ask any more questions. He just looked at them and asked in surprise, "Then why are you still staying here? I'm afraid the officials who brought the good news have already gone to your house, and there are relatives and friends who want to congratulate you, so you must be busy. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so just leave me alone and go back."
"Then I'll take Miss Yu home..."
He Mingyang just opened his mouth when Murong Yan interrupted him, "I'll take her back. It's on my way. Brother He, goodbye."
Xie Zhuoning also nodded and said, "Murong and I are going the same way. Mr. He, please go back quickly. Your family must be looking for you."
"...Okay." He Mingyang curled his five fingers slightly with his lowered sleeves.
After giving money to the young apprentice in the clinic and asking him to call a carriage over, Murong Yan helped Xie Zhuoning get on the carriage.
He Mingyang looked at the two people leaving, and the color in his eyes became darker.
in the carriage.
Murong Yan carefully chose his words, "Miss, do you think that He Mingyang is..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Zhuoning said coldly, "There is something wrong with He Mingyang."
Murong Yan's eyes widened, a little surprised, "You can see that he treats you..."
"When I first met him, he was bullied by several students because of his good calligraphy. From what they said, he only had a widowed mother in his family and lived in a small village called Shanyu Village. It was impossible for him to get such good calligraphy. So where did his calligraphy come from?"
"And today," Xie Zhuoning continued, "today he carried me directly to see Doctor Xu of Baicaotang for a physical examination. Doctor Xu is a skilled doctor and is the first choice of many wealthy families in Beijing. He is not someone that ordinary people can hire. And Doctor Xu called him Master He as soon as he met him, so it was obvious that they knew each other."
In her previous life, she knew that He Mingyang was born in poverty and had only a widowed mother at home. Like Murong Yan, he was able to rise to prominence by clinging to the crown prince.
But from the current perspective, He Mingyang's situation is obviously different from that in his previous life.
So she couldn't help but wonder, "You said He Mingyang, could it be that he has already become Xiao Bicheng's man?"
"No, no," Xie Zhuoning shook his head as soon as he said this. "If he is already from Xiaobi City, there is no way he would not recognize me. Could it be that he is pretending not to know and has a bigger plan?"
It wasn't just her, Murong Yan and even Xiao Jinxuan were probably all part of his plan...
"It's still not right. If He Mingyang told Xiao Bicheng about our affairs, Xiao Bicheng would definitely use you and me to counter Xiao Jinxuan and make him release Meng Xing."
With such a big handle, there is no way Xiao Bicheng would not use it.
I always feel like there is something I can't figure out...
Murong Yan paused for a long while before saying, "Is it possible that He Mingyang didn't tell anyone about you and me?"
This is a possibility, but...
"Why?" Xie Zhuoning was puzzled as to why he did this.
With a long sigh, Murong Yan slowly spoke, "Is it possible that He Mingyang likes you?"
