Chapter 190 Don’t Dare to Indulge Yourself Again
A few days later, Shen Ning found out that Shen Chong had sent Shen Qingbai Wuyousan to burn incense with the intention of harming him.
Wuyousan is highly addictive, can lead to depravity and is difficult to get rid of. If ten thousand people get addicted to Wuyousan, the number of those who can finally get rid of it can probably be counted on one hand.
Shen Chong wanted to completely destroy Shen Qingbai.
Fortunately, Shen Qingbai has April by his side... But even if April was not there, Shen Qingbai knew Shen Chong's identity and would not easily touch the things given by Shen Chong.
As for Shen Chong himself, in order to conceal his tracks, he also used an incense plate that looked the same as Shen Qingbai's, but naturally there was no medicine added to his incense plate.
But he didn't add any medicine himself, so he couldn't stop someone from replacing it with something else.
Chen Chong felt that his studies these days were as if assisted by God. He was full of energy. Not only did he not feel tired after studying hard from beginning to end for a whole day, but he even had erotic dreams in the middle of the night.
But even though he was plagued by erotic dreams, he was still full of energy when he woke up in the morning, and his thoughts were quick and insightful when the teacher asked questions.
Even when someone reminded him that he might have studied too hard these days and had lost a lot of weight, Shen Chong just smiled and said nothing.
Of course he studied hard, but he did not feel tired. Perhaps even God was helping him. When Shen Qingbai was exposed in public for being addicted to Wuyou Powder and was expelled from the Imperial College, it was Shen Chong's turn to show up.
Shen Chengxi is not a good person, and when the time comes, he will make a big splash… His good father, Shen Xiuhe, will naturally know what to choose.
By the time the Imperial College examination came, Chen Chong had already been inhaling the incense with added ingredients for nearly twenty days. As expected, during the examination, Chen Chong immediately became one of the top students.
Although Shen Qingbai still ranks among the top and is highly praised, Shen Chong also made a big splash.
It was obvious that his father, Chen Xiuhe, had come to their concubine's house twice more in the past few days. He was all smiles when he saw him and gave him one hundred taels of silver as pocket money to encourage him not to slack off.
Shen Chong was very excited.
After the quiz, there was a literary gathering held by the Imperial College, which aimed at commendation and exchange. The top students could communicate and share with their classmates, and compete in writing poems and lyrics. It was a form of entertainment after the quiz.
At that time, nobles from the palace will also be present.
Chen Chong could hardly wait to show up at the literary gathering, and more importantly... he couldn't wait to see Shen Qingbai's ugly appearance as he suffered a drug addiction attack in public.
By then, everyone will know that this famous and talented Mr. Shen is actually a drug addict...
Shen Ning naturally already knew the plan of the concubine's family: they wanted to destroy Shen Qingbai in public during the Imperial College exam.
But this wish was naturally doomed to fail.
Shen Ning really wanted to see with her own eyes the end of her good brother Shen Nian, so when Xiao Nanchen suggested that she could pretend to be his follower and go to the Imperial College Literary Meeting together, she agreed without thinking.
That day, Chen Ning dressed up as a servant and rode with Xiao Nanchen in the carriage of Prince Ding's Mansion to the Imperial College to attend the literary gathering.
This was her first time riding in a carriage at the palace.
She originally thought that her carriage was quite good, but after sitting in Prince Ding's carriage, she realized that poverty limited her imagination.
It turns out that the inside of the carriage is really decorated with gold.
It is luxurious, spacious, comfortable and stable. What's even more exaggerated is that there are even luminous pearls embedded in the car walls, which is simply inhumane.
Chen Ning was a little curious, so she stretched out a finger and scratched it, but the night pearl didn't move at all, and it was indeed very solid.
Beside him, Xiao Nanchen, dressed in dark-colored rough clothes, looked at his fiancée calmly.
Normally, when she was wearing exquisite makeup, she looked exceptionally beautiful. But now that she was dressed as a servant, she looked fresh and lively.
At this moment, Shen Ning suddenly remembered something: "By the way, didn't I ask you to help me disguise myself?"
It was too conspicuous to wear her own face, so it was not easy to just let go and watch the fun. Xiao Nanchen's disguise method was simple and not uncomfortable, so Shen Ning asked him to disguise herself.
Xiao Nanchen nodded and took out a small box from the drawer of the wooden table next to him.
Seeing this, Shen Ning immediately closed her eyes and raised her head, waiting obediently for the other party to put on her makeup, just like she did in her previous life.
But she didn't know how destructive her appearance was...
His Royal Highness Prince Ding paused slightly, his gaze fell on Shen Ning's tightly closed eyes and pink lips, and his Adam's apple rolled violently.
There were only the two of them in the enclosed space, and His Royal Highness Prince Ding immediately looked away after realizing that he was shamefully distracted.
No matter how much he wanted to get close to her, he knew that Shen Ning had become suspicious of him. He finally had a reason to be with her, and now he dared not indulge himself again.
Trying hard to suppress his excitement, Xiao Nanchen's hands moved with unprecedented caution and gentleness. After a moment, the person in front of him changed his appearance.
She was still fair and beautiful, but it had nothing to do with Shen Ning's own appearance.
The carriage drove directly into the side gate of the Imperial College, stopped, and Xiao Nanchen got off first. When Shen Ning came out, he stretched out his hand to help her get off the car.
There was no one around, and Shen Ning was anxious to go and see the fun, so she didn't hesitate and jumped down holding his arm.
He jumped down lightly to the ground, as if stepping on the heart of His Royal Highness Prince Ding.
Xiao Nanchen almost couldn't help but want to hug his slender and petite fiancée tightly in his arms, but he could only endure it.
When she arrived at Guangye Hall where the literary gathering was held, Shen Ning realized that the gathering had already started for quite some time.
The servant who greeted Prince Ding said with some regret, "The debate between Master Shen, who placed first in the quiz, and Master Pei, who placed second, just concluded. It was truly fascinating."
Chen Ning regretted not being able to catch up to watch Qing Bai's debate.
Beside him, His Royal Highness Prince Ding's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded softly.
Of course, he wouldn't say that he calculated the time and came here specifically to wait for that Pei guy to finish showing off... Chen Ning just didn't need to look at him.
As for Qingbai, he is my younger brother, so it doesn’t matter whether I see him or not.
Chen Ning followed Xiao Nanchen into the hall and saw the prince and an old scholar sitting at the top of the table. The old scholar should be the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, and his surname seemed to be Zhou.
"Seventh Brother, you're late, haha."
Crown Prince Xiao Nanyu laughed loudly and said, "Come and sit down, and take a good look at the future pillars of our Great Xuan Dynasty."
Those people came to pay their respects to Prince Ding. Xiao Nanchen saluted the prince and then said coldly, "No need for the formalities." Then he sat down next to the prince.
On his other side was the second prince Xiao Nanyong.
The interlude of His Royal Highness Prince Ding's entrance passed quickly, and the literary performance continued.
There was a plate of crab roe pastries on the small table in front of Xiao Nanchen. He took a look at it, then calmly put it on the small table behind him.
Shen Ning was sitting at the back watching the fun like the other servants, when suddenly a plate of snacks appeared in front of him.
If Xiao Nanchen dared to give it to her, she would eat it. She also changed her appearance to avoid attracting too much attention. After all, it was not a big deal to attend the literary gathering in disguise.
Didn't Shen Nian just pretend to be a servant and stay beside Shen Chengxi?
Oh, and there's also the Tenth Princess Xiao Bi, who's sitting next to her, disguised as the Second Prince's attendant...
Someone over there had already started a debate, but Chen Ning was not interested and picked up a piece of crab roe pastry and tasted it.
Well, it tastes pretty good.
While eating, Shen Ning looked at Shen Chong who was diagonally opposite.
Seeing Shen Chong's appearance, she secretly clicked her tongue and became more and more expectant...
