Wenxing Pavilion, school is over.

After respectfully seeing off the instructor, several scholars who were from official families gathered together and started talking excitedly.

"Have you heard? After the emperor recovered, he took in a new talent!"

"I heard about it! I also know that this talented woman was a female doctor in the Imperial Hospital before. She was selected into the harem because of her meritorious service in saving the emperor's life."

"Aren't there only old men in the Imperial Hospital? How come there is a female doctor?"

"Don't you know? This female doctor was sent to the Imperial Hospital by Princess Yan."

"So, since this female doctor is related to the Princess of Yan and now has the Emperor's favor, her future is limitless!"

"..."

"Qingyuan! Calm down Qingyuan!"

Amidst the numerous idle chatter, Wang Changbo's exclamation was particularly eye-catching.

The scholars looked in the direction of Wang Changbo's shrill voice, only to see that he had already run out, and the "Sun Qingyuan" he mentioned had long since disappeared.

Sun Qingyuan ran towards the Imperial Hospital like crazy, and Wang Changbo followed him out. Neither of them even packed their book boxes.

Wang Changbo has never been as physically strong as Sun Qingyuan since he was a child. Just in terms of swimming, Sun Qingyuan can almost learn it with just a little learning.

He studied for a long time, but his results were still a mess, which also laid the seeds for his fall into the Half Moon Lake that winter.

Therefore, even though Wang Changbo dropped everything and ran out the moment Sun Qingyuan ran out,

But as time went on, the distance between them became greater and greater.

Wang Changbo felt his heart pounding, but seeing Sun Qingyuan running faster and faster, he gritted his teeth and chased after him with all his might.

He understood that Qingyuan was going to the Imperial Hospital to find out whether the "talented person" those people were talking about was Miss Du.

He could see that Qingyuan and Miss Du had feelings for each other, but now was not the time to act on impulse!

When Wang Changbo arrived at the gate of the Imperial Hospital, he only saw Sun Qingyuan bowing to Doctor Zhang and Doctor Zhang walking back to the hospital with his hands behind his back.

"What? Do you think I will make a scene in the Imperial Hospital and let everyone know that the emperor's newly appointed Du Cairen has a past relationship with me and will personally hand the knife to our enemy?" Sun Qingyuan sneered.

Wang Changbo: “…” The red bloodshot in your eyes doesn’t mean that.

"Let's go back to Wenxing Pavilion and pack our things so that no one else can notice anything unusual, and then go to Prince An's Mansion."

Wang Changbo was about to say something, but saw Sun Qingyuan say this and walk away.

Wang Changbo: …

So I came all the way here and you didn’t even give me a chance to say a word?

Humph! Anyway, his throat was very dry and he didn't want to talk at all.

Yes! He doesn't want to talk at all!

Woohoo, Sun Qingyuan is going too far...

However, neither of them expected that on the way to Prince An’s Mansion, Luo Xiaoran sent someone to deliver the news.

"Don't worry, I will give Kong Qing freedom."

Sun Qingyuan held the piece of paper that was stuffed into his hand by a stranger, and his whole body was trembling. The heart that had been hanging in his heart all the way was finally at ease.

Yes, even though the imperial decree was hard to disobey and even though there was a clear order, as long as Luo Xiaoran said she had a way, Sun Qingyuan would believe it.

——This is Luo Xiaoran’s reputation among her friends. She absolutely keeps her word.

……

In Zhilan Palace, Du Kongqing, who had received the notice to sleep with the emperor tonight, was pacing anxiously in the bedroom, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

She automatically identified all the eunuchs and palace maids around her as people who were spying on her, so she drove them all out.

He was left alone in the bedroom, reluctant to accept reality.

Why did things turn out like this?

Not to mention that she doesn't like Emperor Tianqi, even if the other party is Sun Qingyuan, she will not get married at this age!

Didn’t Xiaoran say that she didn’t want her to get married too early, and that it would be best to have children in her twenties?

But what to do now?

The person who forced her to marry, oh no, took her in by force, was the Emperor!!!

Just when Du Kongqing was about to collapse, a little palace maid knocked on the door of the bedroom.

"Talented lady, the imperial kitchen has just sent a plate of cakes to celebrate your new favor tonight."

"I'm not hungry!"

Du Kongqing refused without thinking, what's the point of celebrating!

But as soon as he said this, Du Kongqing suddenly called the little palace maid for some unknown reason.

She opened the door of her bedroom and saw the little maid who brought her cakes. It was Fang'er, the personal maid assigned to her by Emperor Tianqi.

"I suddenly feel hungry again, give it to me!"

The tray in her hand was snatched away. Fang'er looked at Du Kongqing in surprise, only to find that she had already closed the door of the hall.

After Du Kongqing put the cakes on the table, she began to break open each piece of Fujin cake, but there was no note inside that she was expecting.

Du Kongqing was desperate. Xiao Ran might not know that she was taken into the harem by Emperor Tianqi, so it was too late to save her.

Even if Xiaoran knew that she would sleep with him tonight, what could be done to save her?

This is a deep palace, she can't just disappear out of thin air, right?

……

Emperor Tianqi was not attracted by Du Kongqing's beauty, which was why he insisted on marrying her and gave her the rank of a sixth-rank talent.

Moreover, Du Kongqing did not have a distinguished family background, and was even the descendant of a criminal. One must know that ordinary women who wanted to enter the palace as concubines had to start as seventh-rank ladies.

The most important reason why Emperor Tianqi took this action was that the poisoning incident had cast a huge shadow in his heart.

He needed someone who was proficient in detoxification to accompany him, and this person had to be Du Kongqing.

As the monarch of the Daliang Dynasty, Emperor Tianqi naturally believed that all women in the world wanted to enter the harem, accompany him, and give birth to his children.

Therefore, he simply could not imagine that Du Kongqing was unwilling to become the so-called "Du Talent".

He naturally thought that after Du Kongqing became his woman, she would help and protect him wholeheartedly.

He would never have imagined that on the night he turned over Du Cairen's green card, Du Cairen, who didn't want to have anything to do with him at all, magically disappeared.

I heard that night, the entire palace was brightly lit, and the guards were everywhere searching for people in every room.

It was not until dawn that the noise that had been going on all night finally died down, signaling that this fruitless farce was forced to come to an end.

However, the emperor's anger is not something that ordinary people can bear.

The disappearance of a concubine will definitely implicate her family.

But Du Kongqing's family was small, and their names were crossed out from the family tree by their original clan members when they were exiled to the northern border.

Moreover, his father died in the Northern Border Army several years ago. Now, apart from the disappeared Du Kongqing, only his mother Du Kang is left in the Du family.

When the imperial envoy arrived at Hexi Village, he was shocked to hear that Du Kang had fallen into the water and died a few days ago. No one knew where his body had been washed away. How tragic it was!

This matter was testified by many villagers of Hexi Village, and there are also records of the government's handling of the case, so it cannot be false.

The imperial envoy had no choice but to return to Beijing and report the truth.
