Chapter 664 Welcome
Evening
Yan Shu arrived outside the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall. The black lacquered wooden door slowly opened, and students in blue shirts slowly walked out of the hall.
She looked at the crowd quietly, and a familiar figure soon appeared in her sight.
After being locked in a small dark room for three whole days to write articles, even a man as bright and successful as Jiang Ci looked a little embarrassed at this moment.
"That's... Miss Yan?"
Liu Yunzhao followed Jiang Ci's gaze and saw a beautiful figure standing in front of the carriage not far away.
"It's Miss Cui." Wen Yutang reminded Liu Yunzhao in his ear.
Liu Yunzhao looked at Wen Yutang in confusion. Although he didn't understand why Miss Yan became Miss Cui, he still understood and changed his words.
"Brother Mu Bai, Miss Cui...Miss Cui is here to pick you up, right?"
Jiang Ci had a faint smile on his face: "Well, goodbye first."
After saying this, Jiang Ci quickened his pace and walked towards Yan Shu.
Liu Yunzhao sighed softly: "It really is the sour smell of love."
Wen Yutang retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, it's time for you to start a family and a career at your age."
Liu Yunzhao was full of resistance: "No, I have been pampered since childhood and cannot bear the pain of love."
While the two were chatting and laughing, a woman suddenly bumped into Wen Yutang.
"what!"
"careful!"
Wen Yutang was quick to catch her in time, and a faint fragrance filled his nose.
The woman's face turned pale with fright, and she didn't dare to open her eyes for a long time. The pain she was waiting for did not come, but instead she heard the man's concerned inquiries.
"Is the girl okay?"
"what?"
The woman suddenly opened her eyes, and when she saw that the person in front of her was a handsome scholar who was giving himself to her in time, her pale face instantly turned red.
She stood up straight in a hurry and lowered her head shyly: "I was reckless just now. Thank you for catching me in time."
Wen Yutang smiled faintly: "Miss, I hope you are alright."
"Miss, Miss." A maid ran over hurriedly.
"Xiao Tao, have you seen my dad?"
"The master left through the side door and has already gone to the Ministry of Rites. We are late."
The woman frowned slightly: "Then let's go to the Ministry of Rites."
After saying this, she looked at Wen Yutang again with sparkling eyes: "Sir, are you a student taking part in the imperial examination this year?"
"Exactly."
The woman was secretly delighted: "May I ask your name, sir..."
Wen Yutang hesitated, but Liu Yunzhao at the side replied first: "His name is Wen Yutang, remember it, young lady."
The woman's cheeks turned even redder, and she silently recited the three words "Wen Yutang" in her heart. She looked at Wen Yutang again and said, "I'll remember it. Master Wen, we'll see each other again if we're lucky."
After she finished speaking, she pulled the maid and turned around and left in a hurry.
Liu Yunzhao chuckled twice as if he was watching a show.
"I'm afraid Brother Wen will get married before me."
Wen Yutang retracted his gaze and glanced at Liu Yunzhao: "Brother Liu, don't talk nonsense."
It was obvious that the girl just now came from a wealthy family, so I shouldn’t think too much about my background.

The first thing Jiang Ci did after returning was to take a bath with incense, while Yan Shu waited quietly in his study.
"Squeak!"
The door was opened and Jiang Ci, dressed in a moon-white shirt, walked in slowly. He closed the door and went straight to Yan Shu.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms, tightened his arms and closed his eyes in contentment.
During the three days of free time in the Imperial Examination Hall, my mind was filled with her, and even in my dreams I could see her figure.
"Jiaojiao, I miss you so much."
Yan Shu smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for only three days."
"One day without seeing you feels like three years, three days without seeing you feels like nine years, how much I miss you."
He was like a child asking for candy. Yan Shu secretly laughed in her heart. Jiang Ci would only occasionally reveal his childish nature in front of her.
"Okay, I have something important to tell you."
Jiang Ci held her face in his hands, his eyes full of deep attachment: "Don't worry, I have more important things to do."
Before he finished speaking, his lips pressed against mine.
Their lips and teeth touched, feeling each other's warmth, she seemed to have gotten used to his strong and domineering kiss.
After a long time, Jiang Ci breathed heavily and kissed her snow-white neck lightly, leaving a faint tooth mark on her delicate skin. He smiled with satisfaction.
He released the hand on her waist, pulled her to the desk, lifted her up and placed her on the desk.
Seeing that he couldn't wait to come over again, Yan Shu reached out and covered his mouth in time. Jiang Ci licked her palm with lust in his eyes. She instantly felt a wet and itchy sensation in her palm, and a strange numbness instantly spread throughout her body.
"Jiang Ci, stop messing around... Let's talk business first. The Grand Princess is likely to rebel at Wei Yang and the Sixth Prince's wedding banquet."
Jiang Ci pulled down her soft hand and wrapped it in his big palm, then leaned over and pecked her lips lightly: "I already know about this."
"Today I met Liu Hanyue at the Su Mansion. He said that the 30,000 cavalrymen that the Grand Princess had kept in Langya and Xingzhou had secretly infiltrated the capital. On the day of the Sixth Prince's wedding, the Imperial City will be open and all the civil and military officials will be present. That will be the best time to control all the officials. Since you know the Grand Princess' intentions, you should have made preparations this morning."
"Well, I have arranged this."
"There is one more thing. It was not the eldest princess but the old emperor who murdered the entire Zuo family. And what about Yuan An and Taoist Wuji? They clearly died in Kumu, so why are they back from the dead and appearing in the capital today? I met Yuan An yesterday. There was no sign of disguise in his words and deeds, and there was no trace of disguise on his face."
Jiang Ci smoothed Yan Shu's frowning brows: "Three months ago, I arranged for people to go to Qingyun Mountain. Ji Chuan, Nangong Yan and others went to the place where Kumu buried the two people and checked it out. They found that the bodies were still there. However, the two people in the capital are indeed strange. They seemed to appear out of thin air. Their origins have not been found yet."
Appear out of thin air?
Yan Shu suddenly recalled what Yuan An said. Who are these two people?
Jiang Ci said: "No matter who sent these two people, they must have a purpose for appearing here. As long as we keep an eye on them, the fox will eventually show its tail."
"Why do you think the old emperor wanted to kill the left imperial physician?"
Jiang Ci sneered, leaned over and took a deep breath in the crook of Yan Shu's neck. The fragrance on her body was like a calming medicine, especially when he was feeling violent and murderous.
"The old emperor seems to be ill and not concerned with state affairs, but in fact, everything in the court is under his control. Since we can sense the eldest princess's thoughts, how could the old emperor not sense it?"
"You mean he wants to frame the Grand Princess?"
Jiang Ci said: "The Grand Princess has been busy cleaning up the sect these past two days. There are servants with ulterior motives inside the Wusheng Sect, and they have been infiltrated over the years. Let's just wait and see the dog-eat-dog drama from now on."
