With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

"I've come here to ask Miss Qin whether it's necessary to expose the situation of Seventh Brother and the others," Pei Ling asked.

I was really embarrassed before.

Fortunately, Jiang Xun was the handsome man, otherwise he would have lost face terribly.

Having held the position of Crown Prince for many years, this was the first time he had done something so foolish. It was also here, in his most relaxed state, that he let his guard down. After all, facing someone so powerful that there was no way to resist, any vigilance was useless; it was better to be leisurely and at ease.

However, given how handsome Dr. Jiang was, he was still happy for Miss Qin, since he could tell that Dr. Jiang held a special place in Miss Qin's heart.

Good-looking people should be with other good-looking people; that's what makes it pleasing to the eye! Pei Ling thought to herself, and her mood improved.

A-Zhan realized that Pei Ling was a sucker for good looks. She suddenly remembered that everyone around him was indeed quite handsome.

Take her house for example, the cooks and nannies all looked pretty when they were young.

But it's not a big problem.

Coming to her senses, Azhen said, "No need."

"You can hide it once, but you won't be able to hide it if you do it many times."

Pei Ling felt a chill run down his spine, silently grieving for his seventh brother. Of all people to offend, he had to provoke Miss Qin.

Since the emperor relinquished power, Pei Ling had many state affairs to handle and left without staying long.

With his father's attitude in place and his health excellent, even if his brothers were unwilling, they could only keep quiet. If they behaved themselves, he wouldn't do anything; if they didn't, then they were just asking for trouble.

With his most threatening brother, the seventh brother, imprisoned, he no longer needed to worry about him, and the other brothers' methods were even less effective.

So, aside from being a bit busy, Pei Ling's life wasn't really troublesome. If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon be officially succeeding to the throne.

Putting Pei Hui's affairs aside, Pei Ling became completely busy.

Pei Hui and the others remained hidden. Around the time of the imperial examinations, Pei Hui's day arrived. As the system had predicted, he didn't suffer any pain that day, but the humiliation he endured couldn't be explained in a few words.

I have the heart to want to die.

Putting aside whether he's willing to give it up or not, he can't die even if he wants to now.

Azhen received a letter from Jiang Xun, who had already publicized Ye Shuangzhou's actions in the martial arts world, and Jiang Xun had taken over Medicine King Valley. He had also found some "medicine victims" within the valley, and the scene was reportedly quite gruesome. It was because of these "medicine victims" that he had to stay there longer to make arrangements for them.

When news of the Medicine King Valley reached the martial arts world, it truly shocked countless people.

After cleaning up Medicine King Valley, apart from a few old servants, there was no one else. Because Ye Shuangzhou's rebirth had caused Luo Feng's death, Luo Feng was unable to take in any disciples he should have, resulting in a sparse population.

Regarding the development of Medicine King Valley, Jiang Xun followed his master Luo Feng's style, not forcing the issue, but planning to recruit promising talents if they came across them in the future. A person's life is long; it shouldn't be impossible to find no successor.

Azhen knew about Pei Hui's situation, but didn't pay much attention to it.

At this moment, Pei Hui was staring at the infant in front of him with a grim expression. If he could, he would like to deal with it directly, but obviously he couldn't even do that.

Unbeknownst to him, the infant in the swaddling clothes was also shocked. But seeing Pei Hui's gloomy face, the infant was somewhat confused. Why did his father have such an expression? This was the surprise that Azhen had given to Pei Hui and the others. Their child would also have memories of the second cycle, all of which came back from the second cycle.

"Take him away." Pei Hui waved his hand dismissively.

Now that things have returned to normal, he has made up his mind that he will not return to the inner quarters until his own situation is resolved.

Actually, he had a vague feeling that things weren't that simple, but he was too self-deceiving to think about it further.

Ye Shuangzhou and the other two knew about what was happening at Pei Hui's place. After witnessing the process with their own eyes, the three of them felt terrified and at that moment they really wanted to die.

Today is the day the results of the imperial examination are released, and it just so happens that A-Zhu is out for a stroll with Cui Ying.

Cui Ying looked at the group of talented young men and asked, "Xiao Zhen, when is Jiang Xun coming back? He's been gone for so many days, I hope nothing's wrong."

She had once thought Jiang Xun's appearance was a bit lacking, but he was a really good person, so seeing her daughter getting close to him, she thought it was acceptable. Besides, her daughter was capable and should be better at choosing people than she was, so she never interfered in this matter.

That day, Jiang Xun removed his mask to take his leave. Outside, he ran into Cui Ying, who then realized that this handsome young man was indeed Jiang Xun. She was overjoyed. He was good-looking and a nice person; she was very satisfied.

That's why, Jiang Xun hasn't come back, and she's worried he's run away. People who aren't good-looking aren't worth worrying about; it's not a big deal if they leave. But people as handsome as Jiang Xun need to be kept a closer eye on. In all her years, this is the first time she's seen a man so handsome.

Azhen chuckled, "He has some things to take care of. He'll come back when he's done. He won't fly away again."

Cui Ying felt a little embarrassed, but also relieved.

She could tell that her daughter was very satisfied with Jiang Xun. She'd be heartbroken if he ran away.

She wasn't a particularly remarkable mother; she simply hoped her daughter would have a good life.

Looking at the lively scene around her, Cui Ying suddenly felt a little dazed, never expecting that she could still live such a leisurely life.

She looked at her hands. Jiang Xun had prepared some ointment for her earlier, and although her hands were no longer as delicate as those of noble ladies, they had regained their smoothness and whiteness, and the scars had almost healed.

A-Zhuang had originally planned to help Cui Ying with her treatment, and Jiang Xun immediately stepped in to help when faced with this situation.

The other party's medical skills were indeed excellent, so Azhen did not interfere any further. The effect was obvious, and it's no wonder that Cui Ying was satisfied with Jiang Xun; he was simply good at pleasing people.

"You've won! You've won, young master!" A familiar voice reached her ears, and Azhen saw a pageboy running out from the crowd. He looked familiar; it was Ji Qing's pageboy.

He ran up from downstairs; it seems Ji Qing is also in this teahouse.

Today, Azhen brought Cui Ying here to see the excitement and let her see what it's like.

Ever since Cui Ying divorced Qin Shanlin, to prevent Cui Ying from being bored, Azhen hired tutors for her. Some taught her music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, while others taught her flower arranging and tea tasting... whatever Cui Ying was willing to learn, she arranged it all. For Cui Ying, all of this was new and exciting; she was interested and didn't intend to miss this opportunity.

Her daughter has learned skills from a master and is now respected by the Crown Prince. As her mother, she must also improve herself so as not to be a disgrace.

Of course, she genuinely likes these things.

As for remarriage, Cui Ying has no such plans at the moment. She's immersed in all sorts of new things every day, feeling that there are so many things in this world she wants to learn, things she could never finish learning—it's all so fascinating. (End of Chapter)
