When Shen Yuanbai saw this, not only was he not moved at all, but he felt that Sheng Xiuran looked very dirty, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Miss Sheng, your brother harmed me first. Why do you think that I will repay evil with kindness and risk your life to save him?"
"Because of his nonsense, this palace is still banned."
"Sheng Mingcheng must die. If you want to live, just stay in this Chonghua Palace peacefully. If you want to die, Bai Ling can use poison to swallow gold."
Shen Yuanbai spoke coldly, and then stood up impatiently.
He wanted to take a bath again, but seeing Sheng Xiuran's dirty look, he felt that he had just washed in vain.
Sheng Xiuran looked up with a look of despair and saw the look of disgust on Shen Yuanbai's face.
Her heart trembled suddenly. At this moment, thousands of thoughts were mixed together, and she felt regret and hatred.
Her brother had always said that it was the second prince who had harmed their Qingguo Palace, and she had always held on to some illusion. She could not believe that the god-like man had such a vicious heart!
Seeing that the second prince had already stepped out, she shouted and asked the last question.
"At Huguo Temple in the southern suburbs half a year ago, did you really save me, or did you do it deliberately?"
The second prince didn't even bother to turn his head, and just said lightly, "Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
When Sheng Xiuran heard this, her stretched out body suddenly sank. The next moment, all the strength in her body seemed to be taken away, and she fell heavily to the ground.
She whimpered a few times, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Fake! all fake!
He deliberately approached her for the sake of the power of the Duke of Qing! Such a heartless and cold-hearted man deceived her of her sincerity, and even caused the Duke of Qing's family to be executed!
Brother...Brother is hopeless! She has no relatives anymore!
Sheng Xiuran cried louder and louder. Seeing that Shen Yuanbai's figure was about to disappear into the shadows, she suddenly opened her mouth wide and wanted to shout out everything she heard on the rockery with revenge.
You are not His Majesty’s son at all!
You're a bastard!
You are the hybrid between Princess Yuliu and a dog man!
Sheng Xiuran stretched out her hand, wishing to catch Shen Yuanbai back and throw these words in his face, seeing that he was as miserable as she was.
However, her remaining sense told her not to be impulsive.
She has nothing left. If she shouts here, she will definitely die, but the second prince will only be indifferent, and he is still the noble second highness!
No, she wants to live, she wants revenge!
She has to wait for the most suitable opportunity to give this heartless and despicable man the most fatal blow!
Sheng Xiuran's bright face was distorted in the candlelight, and when tears rolled down her eyes, they took away her last trace of tenderness and innocence.
elder brother......
I can't save you.
But I will avenge the whole family of our Qingguo Palace!
————
On March 20th, all Chunwei's rankings had been verified. Even Tan Hanchi, Sheng Qishan and Xin Ruizhi frantically bought and sold thirteen rankings!
Among them, except Tan Hanchi, all twelve of them suffered, and none of them survived.
The Holy Emperor was so furious that he appeased and compensated the families of the twelve deceased persons, and then severely punished all the buyers, including the extremely wealthy Gu family of Qingzhou.
In addition, at the suggestion of the prince, the Holy Sage issued the "Notice to the People of the World", clearly informing the people of the Chunwei fraud, and even rarely admitted the court's mistakes!
Thanks to the prince's move, the boiling anger of the students and officials was finally suppressed.
On March 21st, the palace examination officially began, and was presided over by Emperor Yong himself.
On March 22, the news came out that Emperor Yong designated Tan Hanchi as the first in the first class, and immediately issued a gold medal and hung it at the gate of the palace.
On March 23, Emperor Yong held a passing ceremony in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, conferring the titles of No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 Flowers to the top three.
Then an edict was issued, granting the number one scholar Tan Hanchi the post of editor of the Sixth Rank Imperial Academy, and conferring the post of editor and editor of the seventh rank Hanlin Academy to the second highest scholar, Tan Hanchi.
This sixth-grade official position may not seem high, but his job is to compile the emperor's true records, record the emperor's words and deeds, and even draft documents for the emperor.
This position meant that Tan Hanchi became a close minister of the emperor and reached the sky in one step!
Next, there is the much-anticipated spectacle of the No. 1 Scholar riding a horse through the streets!
Qiao Jiaojiao had been held by Qiao Diyi for a long time and was sitting in the private room of the largest restaurant on Putian Street. She was leaning against the window and looking at the scene.
When the royal honor guard arrived at Putian Street, the people waiting on both sides of the road cheered.
Everyone consciously gave way to the middle road. At this moment, everyone was squeezing each other, and I was squeezing you. The noise almost pierced the sky.
[Second brother, let me stick out a little more! 】
[Hey, hey, I saw the red card! Coming soon! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao screamed loudly, and everyone cheered excitedly!
Qiao Jiaojiao had never seen such a grand scene in her previous life, and it couldn't be compared to the sparse extras in TV series.
The Great Yong Dynasty favored martial arts as well as literature. A new top scholar like Tan Hanchi was admired by students all over the world!
The adoring cheers of the people on the street almost burst Qiao Jiaojiao’s eardrums!
There was a roar of gongs and drums, firecrackers opened the way, and Qiao Jiaojiao finally saw Tan Hanchi!
He is riding a tall horse with two wings on his head. He is dressed in a brocade robe and a cross-red flower. He holds a soft gold whip and looks very handsome!
“Ahhhhh——”
It's no exaggeration, Qiao Jiaojiao heard the woman's screams.
Qiao Jiaojiao smiled and narrowed her eyes, feeling happy for Tan Hanchi from the bottom of her heart.
This kind of honor is what Tan Hanchi deserves.
In the original work, he was plotted by Duke Qing and used by the second prince, causing the pearl to fall into dust. Now he finally got his wish!
【Ah ah ah! Tan Hanchi, you are awesome! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao screamed, while Tan Hanchi sat on a tall horse, facing everyone's pursuit, and felt filled with emotions in his heart.
He glanced across the entire venue, looking at the restaurants and teahouses on both sides, and unexpectedly saw two familiar faces.
It's Qiao Erlang and Miss Qiao's family!
At this moment, Tan Hanchi finally showed a hearty smile on his face.
He, Tan Hanchi, can be where he is today only because of the help of the Qiao family and Miss Qiao...
If it weren't for her magical power, climbing the 30 big boards of Wenguyuan that day would have killed half of his life, let alone insisting on going to the Jinluan Hall to express his love in front of the Holy Master.
Tan Hanchi will never forget the great kindness of the Qiao family. In this life, he will definitely repay the kindness with a ring of grass in his head!
Thinking of this, Tan Hanchi raised his hands and saluted in all directions, pausing specifically in the direction of Qiao Diyi and Qiao Jiaojiao.
Qiao Diyi understood this and showed his big white teeth at Tan Hanchi, smiling sincerely.
Brother Tan is now a close official of the emperor, and the Qiao family cannot be too close to him anymore.
Brother Tan is such a cheerful and intelligent person, it’s a pity that we won’t be able to have wine and chat with him more often in the future!
Qiao Jiaojiao smiled so hard when she saw this scene.
She knew that Tan Hanchi was definitely not a faggot. He valued love and righteousness very much. He had always been on the side of the Qiao family for the rest of his life!
[Get a great counselor! The fate-defying team has added another strong member! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was crowing, her big eyes rolled around, and she didn't expect to see a familiar figure in the teahouse opposite!
