Lu Anran opened his mouth slightly, but did not speak.
Yun Qi tapped the small table in the car with the handle of the fan, and the sound was very rhythmic, "If you are poor, you will want to change, if you change, you will be prosperous, and if you are prosperous, you will be long-term."
Lu Anran was silent.
Yun Qi said: "I have said before that you are always cruel and ruthless, so studying medicine is not suitable for you. Moreover, I found that you are obviously more excited to attack the dead than the living."
Lu Anran didn't know how Yunqi came to such a conclusion, but she would indeed have to deal with dead people in the future.
There was silence between the two of them for a long time, and Lu Anran felt an unknown embarrassment in his heart, and asked a random question, "There are many people going up the mountain, and they all learn different things. How did Jixia Palace just send the right person to test it? Prince Do you know?"
Yun raised his eyebrows lightly, with a hint of natural romantic charm, "Tell me what happened on the way up the mountain." After hearing this, he said with certainty: "That's the maze."
Lu Anran frowned slightly: "But how can the maze distinguish different candidates."
Yun Qi leaned back, curled up the corners of his mouth, and his face suddenly bloomed like a flower, "What kind of place is Jixia Palace? You take it for granted."
Lu Anran's eyes trembled slightly, and he suddenly understood.
That's right, how could the post sent by Jixia Palace not know the details of the other party? She only thought that Jixia Palace was an academy that taught students and solved doubts, but she forgot that it was also the center of power for the dynasty to gather elites from all over the country and cultivate future pillars of the imperial court. Maybe Jixia Palace had more information about them than they did themselves More.
I was five or six points relieved at first, but after talking to Yun Qi, I felt two or three points more relieved. Actually, I almost gave up.
When getting off the car, An Ran expressed her gratitude for the ride, "The scars on the prince's guard should be peeling off soon. If you ask him to change to this medicine, although the scars can't be completely eliminated, at least they will be less conspicuous."
Yun Qi opened the jade bone fan and put it in front of his nose, his eyes flowing like thousands of lights in it, shining like a star river, "I give it to you, why should he benefit from it?"
Now she asked Lu Anran. She was speechless for a while and said, "Why did the prince go to Yanshan?"
Yun Qi: "There are many people, let's join in the fun."
"Then," Lu Anran said happily, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Yunqi's peach blossom eyes were bright: "Thank you for sending me to you, or is it a meritorious deed?"
Lu Anran discovered that Yun Qi always spoke in such a way that he did not leave room for others.
"Hahaha." Yun Qi took the porcelain bottle from Lu Anran's hand, lowered the curtain, and said, "Let's go."
Chunmiao watched the carriage go away and said sincerely, "Prince Yun is actually a good person."
On the other side, Guan Yue asked Yun Qi where to go next. Yun Qi turned the jade bone fan and smiled frivolously: "I heard that there is a new oiran in Xunfang Courtyard."
Watching the moonlight, he waved his arm, clicked his riding whip, and the carriage flew into the air.
Suddenly, in the dark night market, the coquettish horse-drawn carriages were running rampant, and the sound of horse hooves was chaotic, disturbing the passers-by and vendors who were nostalgic for the evening market, leaving a lot of curses.

A study room in a house in the royal capital.
The quiet room is filled with the fragrance of ink, and light smoke curls up into the sky.
One person was burying his head in his desk, listening to another man in brocade clothes reporting from the front.
When he said something, he paused his writing and raised his head, revealing a face that was full of brilliance and elegance. Although there were fine lines at the corners of his eyes, his style remained the same, adding a touch of maturity.
He was wearing green clothes and a jade belt. He was both noble and Confucian. His eyes were calm and full of wisdom. He said in a gentle voice, "What did you say before, Lu Xun's daughter?"
The man in brocade clothes who reported the matter was more solemn. He couldn't help but straighten his back, but lowered his head. "Yes, when I went to Mengdu, I felt that this woman might have something to do in the medical sect, and I specially asked you to write a handwritten letter." , I didn’t expect that she failed the medical examination, and my subordinates misjudged her, and I am ashamed of you."
The man in green continued writing, "It doesn't matter."
The man in brocade clothes was relieved, and he raised his head slightly. He had a broad forehead and a square face, and it was the huge man.
However, he suddenly thought of something and his face tightened, "My lord has changed the rules for recruiting students in Jixia Palace this time. Many of the disciples from wealthy families... have been eliminated. It is rumored that they are... dissatisfied with your lord."
The man in green clothes finished writing a page and just looked up. He laughed when he heard the words, "Injured tendons may move bones, but if they don't move, how can they remove the rotten flesh and rejuvenate new muscles."
Pang Jing said in awe: "The Prime Minister is far-sighted, but my subordinates are too talkative."
Liu Xiangzhi put down his pen and smoothed out his folded wide sleeves, "One thing, how about the other children from aristocratic families in Mengzhou?"
"Both the princes from Anxia County and Lanzhou County were admitted to civil affairs, one from Mingshu County was admitted to Liyue, and as for the prince from Shengle County." Pang Pangren seemed to have a flash of contempt on his face, "After entering the royal capital, he has been studying all day long. Nostalgic for the fireworks and willow fields, he spent extravagantly and made friends with a group of dandies who drank and had fun every day."
Pang Jing felt that such a person with a very bad reputation should not insult Prime Minister Liu's ears.
Liu Xiangzhi picked up the teacup, and when the cup touched his lips, he said softly: "It's not peaceful for the king to come in. Please pay attention to the young ladies in Mengzhou and don't cause trouble. As for Prince Yun..." He blew on the tea foam, "Let him be."
"Yes." Pang Jing handed over his hands and exited the room.
Liu Xiangzhi glanced at the writing on the table. The lid of the cup fell down, and there was a 'click' sound, covering up the slight leak from his mouth: "Lu Xun."

Unprecedentedly, a group of famous students who received the admission ticket were also eliminated this time. Therefore, this matter caused quite a stir. If the court had not opened yet, a lawsuit would have been brought to the emperor.
Therefore, when the emperor decreed to hold an honor banquet, and all the candidates who successfully entered Jixia Palace were required to participate, Zhuque Street was abuzz again.
In the Bafangke Tea House, a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt spat loudly: "...I won't take it from those who wander around, don't take it from those with bad character, don't take it from those who usually dominate others, and don't take it from those who try to use wealth and power to suppress others. Look, these are the new rules that Prime Minister Liu established after taking over Jixia Palace, which shows his determination to correct them."
Someone said: "I heard that although the assessment is simple, firstly, it is unexpected, dull and easy to hesitate, and those who are hesitant will definitely be eliminated. Secondly, climbing mountains is boring, but if you can persevere, it will not only improve your character and endurance, but thirdly, it will be fair."
Someone immediately sneered: "Fair? There were hundreds of students from famous families participating, but only a dozen students from poor families." In the end, less than one hand was able to enter.
The middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt was not obsessed with this and said to everyone: "The best part is, I heard that there is a maze on the mountain, which separates different students and randomly appears for assessment."
"Is there such a thing?" The big guy was obviously interested.
"For example, in the Medical Sect, you might see someone lying on the ground bleeding all over the body halfway. You can't save him or her, and how you can save him. This is the hidden content of the assessment."
Everyone present felt fresh, "The martial arts test must be a master's fight, but what about the literary test? Is it possible that someone will recite poems correctly?"
The middle-aged man in scholar's shirt pretended to smile mysteriously, "No, the civil and political assessment is a monument."
Everyone was attracted to their attention and asked at the same time: "What monument?"

Yanshan, Medical Clinic.
Lu Anran faced the two corpses in front of him and didn't react for a while.
"The first lesson of admission is to put these two corpses together." Leon rolled up his sleeves and squatted on the steps at the entrance of the medical clinic to bask in the sun.
Although they are said to be two pieces, in fact, there are more than 400 pieces of thigh bones, spine bones, wrist bones, etc., mixed into a pile. If you want to completely separate them and put them back together, it will definitely take a lot of effort.
Although Lu Anran complained about Lei Weng's irresponsible teaching, the pretentious mystery on that black face shocked her and made her swallow the words.
"Girl Lu, do you know what this sign means?" Lei Weng poked his finger upward.
Lu Anran raised his head: "Don't treat the living."
Leon hurriedly waved his hand, "Wait a minute, I pointed it to the wrong one." He took a few steps back from his crouching position, "That one, the one holding the night pearl."
Lu Anran suddenly realized: "Medical clinic?"
Lei Weng cleared his throat and said: "Distinguish, judge, judge right from wrong, see clearly, use the knife, hang it under the sharp weapon to straighten yourself." Shaking his sleeves, he stood up and said in a deep voice: "For Master wants you to know clearly today that you are not holding a silver needle in your hand to help the world, but we also have a knife in our hand that can clear up wrongs and bring order to chaos.
From now on, you are a disciple of my medical school. You must remember that for one day in my school, you will not insult the word "medical theory". "
Lu Anran was affected by his solemn tone. He couldn't help but lift his breath to his heart and said cautiously: "Disciple, please remember this."
"Okay, there's nothing else to do. I'm going to travel around the world next time, and I'll leave a large share of the medical clinic to you." Lei Weng turned away from his previous seriousness and followed the movement of the sun to the other side.
Lu Anran struggled to recover from the emotion just now, and twitched the corner of her mouth, "I don't understand one thing, are you all excited now?"
"You said your senior brother?" Lei Weng raised his eyebrows high, "Who said your senior brother is also a liar?"
Lu Anran stared at the sign that said 'Do not treat the living', wondering, isn't this obvious?
Lei Weng also saw it and said: "Well, this is more complicated. You will know it later." He dismissed Lu Anran with one sentence.
Lu Anran felt a sense of regret for having entered the wrong profession, and said numbly: "When will Master come back?"
"Wait until you finish piecing together the two corpses." Leon touched his chin, raised his head and said, "Is it almost done? Almost."
Not long after, a steward from Jixia Palace came and asked Lu Anran to fill in an elective statement for other subjects. He would go there to take classes every ten days, and there would also be assessments at the end of the year.
Lu Anran felt new and asked Lei Weng: "Can I go to other sects? Any one?"
Lei Weng shook his head as if he had never seen the world before, "Do you know who founded Jixia Palace?"
Although Lu Anran was confused as to why the topic suddenly became irrelevant, he still nodded and replied: "I heard a little bit about a prime minister named Wen Cheng. I heard that he was a man of literary and military skills, and was proficient in all kinds of military strategies. The dynasty has truly brought unprecedented prosperity."
A flash of admiration flashed in Lei Weng's eyes: "You are right, but after hundreds of years, few people know that Wen Cheng is not only talented, but also a rare woman in the world."
"Is Wen Cheng a female?" Lu Anran was surprised.
"From ancient times to the present, the first and only female phase!"
