Chapter 552 Song Rui's fate is held by Song Yu's throat
"What big brother? Let go! It hurts so much."
Cui quickly pulled Song Minglang's hand away and said, "What are you crazy about? You've pinched my wrist until it's red."
"I'm not crazy, it's my eldest brother." Song Minglang once again held Chen Chunhua's hand and pushed through the crowd, "Mom, look, isn't that my eldest brother?"
At this time, Song Mingen was standing in front of the body-searching official and looking through the list of students.
Chen Chunhua saw Zhang Feng at a glance, and when her eyes fell on Song Mingen's profile, her eyes widened in shock.
"Your Highness, we haven't found any students smuggling any goods yet."
"Okay, there are still more than twenty students. Hurry and check them out."
"yes."
Song Mingen glanced at the ambitious students and felt mixed emotions.
Twenty-seven years ago, he took the exam just like them, with the ambition of bringing honor to his family.
Now he came to the Imperial Examination Hall as an invigilator.
Fate really plays tricks on us.
Song Mingen sighed inwardly for a moment and walked up the stone steps.
"Ming'en!" Chen Chunhua pushed through the crowd and rushed over.
Song Mingzhu couldn't stop it even if she wanted to.
"Ming En! Ming En! I'm the mother!"
Song Mingen paused.
The accompanying imperial guards drew their swords and shouted, "Who are you, crazy woman? How dare you come to the Imperial Examination Hall and act wildly? Get out of here!"
Chen Chunhua looked at the cold sword and had to stop. She looked at Song Mingen on the steps and shouted, "Mingen, I am..."
Zhang Feng hurriedly interrupted her, "Old Madam, please be careful with your words. If you disturb my master, you will have ten heads chopped off."
Song Mingzhu hurried over and stopped Chen Chunhua behind her. She looked at Song Mingen's back and apologized to Zhang Feng repeatedly, "My mother is not clear-headed. I didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive me, sir."
Zhang Feng looked at Song Mingen, "Master?"
Song Mingen turned around and looked at the Song family.
The morning sun shone on Song Mingen, as if giving him a layer of golden light. In Chen Chunhua's eyes, he was like a god who had descended to earth and was unattainable.
The words "I am your mother" were stuck in my mouth and I couldn't say them out.
I feel sad and regretful.
"Since you didn't mean to offend me, go back quickly and don't come again."
Song Mingen threw down a few words and quickly walked into the Imperial Examination Hall.
Chen Chunhua did not leave for a moment and stared blankly at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall.
The people around saw that Chen Chunhua was indeed a little stupid and left.
Chen Chunhua was still staring longingly until the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall closed.
It seems that if I keep staring at him, I will be able to see Song Mingen again.
"Mom, let's go. If we don't leave now, the police at the door will come and arrest us."
Chen Chunhua came to her senses in an instant and got into Song Mingzhu's carriage.
Song Mingzhu hurriedly ordered Zhang Yuan, "Go to the Nine-Storied Tower."
"No! You definitely don't have any business to discuss, you just came here to see Ming En, right?"
"I..." Song Mingzhu was speechless.
Chen Chunhua thought she would be furious, but inside she was calm. "When did you know Ming En was still alive?"
Song Mingzhu: "It was the day after you asked me to coax Du Zhihuan to the Song Mansion. I was afraid that it would scare you, so I concealed it."
"Are you worried that if I knew he was of royal blood, I'd shamelessly cling to him?"
Song Mingzhu didn't say anything, but her mother rushed over without caring about anything.
If the people knew that the Crown Prince had an adoptive mother.
Big brother can’t do anything to mom.
The Queen Mother will not forgive them.
It doesn’t matter. The people in the capital need to know that they once attempted to murder the crown prince’s nephew.
The Song family can forget about staying in the capital.
After returning home, Song Mingzhu carefully explained the possible situations to Chen Chunhua.
Chen Chunhua was frightened for a moment, and at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall she really wanted to shout "I am your mother, Ming'en".
"Fortunately, Zhang Feng stopped me immediately. Woo..." Chen Chunhua suddenly shed tears of regret while hugging Song Mingzhu. "Why didn't God let me dream about those things before Wanwan regained her memory? If I had dreamed about these things earlier, I wouldn't have lost Ming'en. Our Song family was destined to be rich and powerful, and we are royal relatives. But all of this was ruined because of my greed... Woo..."
"If I had listened to your father's dying words and continued to let him study and obtain an imperial degree, and then let him take the jade pendant to reunite with his biological parents, our Song family would have prospered eighteen years ago. It's mother's fault. It's mother who didn't treat him well... Woo..."
The old man died. She thought that if she supported a son who was not related to her by blood to study, and if he passed the imperial examination and recognized his biological parents who were rich and powerful in the future, would he still want her as his adoptive mother?
Wouldn't it be a loss to raise an ungrateful person?
Well, in the end, it was my own narrow-mindedness that ruined the wealth and glory she should have had.
"Okay, mother, don't blame yourself. We are already divorced and it's impossible to mend our relationship. Let's not dwell on it anymore..."
"Woo..." Chen Chunhua felt even more regretful. She had lost a son who was an emperor!
The next day, Chen Chunhua fell ill. Perhaps due to the shock, she was not as energetic as before after she recovered.
Song Rui was completely dumbfounded when he saw in the examination room that the rumored Crown Prince's nephew was actually Song Mingen.
Perhaps it was fear, regret and other mixed emotions that caused me to not perform well in the exam and end up last on the list.
Chen Chunhua was not surprised to see that he did not do as well in the exam as he had dreamed.
The eldest grandson was thoughtful and knew that Ming'en did not really regard him as his uncle.
If Ming'en were alive, he would be the crown prince and the invigilator, so it would be good enough that he didn't perform poorly.
Chen Chunhua felt somewhat regretful that Rui Ge'er, who ranked last in the exam, would not be taken away by a wealthy family to be their son-in-law.
Well, it's better than having your property confiscated, exiled and dying on the road after just a few days of living a prosperous life.
Song Rui regained some face in the palace examination and passed the imperial examination and became a third-class Jinshi.
"Miss, I've found out that Song Rui is the last one in the top three of the imperial examinations."
Cheng Qingmeng was very surprised. "That shouldn't be the case. I dreamed that he was the top scholar."
Song Yu said, "There must be moisture in the dream. Think about it carefully."
Cheng Qingmeng thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh, I see, there must be water."
She remembered that in her previous life, Xiao Chengqian was the invigilator.
Prince Rui did not like Song Rui, but Princess Anyang was obsessed with him and refused to marry anyone else.
Prince Rui had to take a step back and would only agree to the marriage if Song Rui passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer.
Du Zhihuan still doesn't know his own life experience, so he must be helped.
Xiao Chengqian naturally let her go for the sake of his sweetheart.
"Cousin, he's not going to ask my uncle to let him stay in the capital and become an official, is he?"
"Don't worry, he's very proud and won't go to such trouble."
"What if he asks his grandmother to come forward?"
Song Yu said, "Chen Chunhua is sick and doesn't have the energy. Even if she had the energy, I can't let her see her father."
Cheng Qingmeng said, "Then let my uncle take him to a remote county town where no one lives?"
"Our Dayuan isn't that poor. If he were to go to a remote county and become the county magistrate, wouldn't he be the only one in power there? The capital is full of officials, and it's not easy to stand out."
"Do you want him to stay in the capital?"
Song Yu took a sip of tea and said, "It's easier to control him if we keep him under our noses. We can assign him a lowly ninth-rank official position so that he can never rise to prominence."
"Then what kind of petty official would prevent him from becoming outstanding in his lifetime?"
Song Yu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know which minor officials are in each department. I will talk to my father about this matter and he will make the arrangements. Anyway, there is too much work and too little pay, so don't expect to be promoted in this lifetime."
Song Rui's fate was held by Song Yu's throat.
