Splendid Twins

On the day of the imperial examination, Si Yao wanted to send Si Qing to the examination room. Si Qing felt that her sister was making a fuss and kept complaining before leaving:

"Yaoyao, there are too many people outside, can you just stay at home and be good..."

"I can go alone..."

"You can go somewhere else with Lan Ying..."

Si Yao couldn't stand it anymore and said:

"Leave quickly."

Lan Ying next to her was watching the show and couldn't help but smile, which made Si Qing look at her sideways.

.........

“So many people?…”

Before arriving at the examination room, there were already circles of people surrounding the outside. The scene was so spectacular that it could only be described as a sea of ​​people, including the students taking the examination and their accompanying relatives and friends.

"Let's stop here. It's too crowded inside. You and Lan Ying will go back?"

Si Qing spoke softly while carrying a package, and when he looked up he saw several classmates in the crowd.

Si Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, looked around and said slowly:

"No."

Si Qing: ...

What to do if my sister is too clingy...

"Brother Si?"

"here……"

Sure enough, Si Qing's classmates also saw him, and saw two stunning girls standing next to him, one of whom was even more stunning, with an extraordinary aura. They were amazed and walked towards him immediately:

"Brother Si, I thought you were here earlier."

"Brother Si is always punctual, I believe he has a plan in mind this time..."

"Who is this……"

Si Qing didn't want anyone to look at his sister, so he stepped forward to block Si Yao's figure and immediately changed the subject:

"I don't know where you live yet?"

"Well, it's fine if you don't mention it, but it's really a headache to talk about it. We are short of money and live a little further away. We thought the accommodation conditions were similar, but it turned out that eight of us lived together and couldn't sleep at night..."

"We are the same, grinding our teeth and talking in our sleep..."

After chatting for a while, they turned the topic to the imperial examination. Since they were all from the same academy, they naturally knew each other's strengths and could not help but give each other some advice...

Si Yao focused her main energy on finding someone. Lan Ying saw that she kept looking around and was a little puzzled, so he spoke directly:

"What are you looking for?"

Si Yao glanced around with cold eyes, and when she saw a few familiar faces in the crowd, murderous intent flashed in her eyes!

Some people are just good at dying!

The door to the examination room slowly opened, and runners with swords came out to maintain order. The students taking the imperial examination began to line up to enter the venue, and checks were carried out in an orderly manner one after another.

Si Qing was standing at the back of the queue. He turned his head to look at Si Yao who was not far away and gave her a reassuring look. He understood Yaoyao's concerns and knew what she was guarding against. Since she didn't say it explicitly, he would just pretend not to know.

Somehow, the crowd suddenly became agitated, and the students queuing for inspection in front were making a lot of noise. Seeing this, Si Yao glanced over with sharp eyes. Is this his method?

"No, this is not mine. I am innocent..."

"I am... I am here for a scientific examination, I won't cheat..."

During an inspection, a student was found to have a note stuck in the food he brought. The bailiffs took him directly to the darkroom nearby. No matter what the final inspection results were, this student would definitely not have the opportunity to meet the emperor.

Problems also arose in Si Qing's group. When the student at the front of the line took off his shoes, writing was found inside his socks. He was stripped of all his clothes on the spot, and the crowd became completely agitated!

"This kid is good..."

"You are so brave..."

"It's really a disgrace to our school..."

"........."

Some are happy and some are sad, one less person means one more place on the list!

Someone was secretly making a move. Si Qing remained alert and immediately moved away when someone approached him. Si Yao also saw this!

Just as she was about to make a move, the people who were crowding around Si Qing quietly walked away, as if it was an accident! !

Soon it was Si Qing's turn. He stretched out his arms and let the yamen runners check his bag. The food inside was turned over one by one. When they saw a small bottle of jam, they opened it and smelled it. It tasted surprisingly sweet. Someone swallowed his saliva in a cowardly way...

"what is this?"

The bailiff pointed at the things in Si Qing's purse, his face serious and gloomy.

"Peace Talisman."

"Open!"

Si Qing did as he was told and opened the talisman in no time. The bailiff concealed his gloating expression and pulled it open, only to find that it was a piece of yellow paper. There was nothing on it?

I read it over and over again, and then looked at it in the sunlight. When I saw that I didn't find anything, I handed it to Si Qing:

"Okay, let's go in."

Si Qing took the yellow paper and folded it according to the original marks. He pretended not to hear the urging of the yamen runner.

Si Yao watched Si Qing go in before looking away, the corner of her mouth raised playfully:

"Let's go to the theater."

Lan Ying was slightly stunned. Watching a show?

Which theater opens at midnight?

Si Yao walked aimlessly on the street. Nothing could be seen on her face, but she was counting in her heart...

One, two, three...eight, nine, ten!

"Miss!"

Si Yao turned her head and looked behind her. The man was dressed in black, holding a sword and had an ugly look on his face.

Lan Ying had never seen this person before, so he just stood in front of Si Yao in a protective posture.

"Ling Feng, you are here."

Si Yao snorted coldly, and the invisible pressure she released made Ling Feng miserable!

He just wanted to ask if he could give up this job...

"If you had come a little later, the Duke's Mansion would probably be having a feast by now..."

Ling Feng lowered his head slightly so he couldn't see his expression, but his tone was somewhat helpless:

"The prince asked me to protect Mr. Si personally, and I have done my duty."

This master was obviously prepared. The prince also sent him to guard someone. He thought it was an easy task, but he didn't expect an accident to happen at the last minute. Those suspicious people who squeezed next to Mr. Si turned out to be the Duke's men!

The purpose couldn't be more obvious, it was to ruin someone's reputation in public...

He was either slow to react or too shocked. The Duke was almost dead, yet he still had the energy to bully others...

The prince gave him a death order, if he failed to protect Mr. Si, he would be beheaded!

Fortunately, he led the person away and captured him and gave him to the prince directly. If he had someone else's head, he would not be able to take his...

"Miss, the prince asks you to return home..."

Si Yao did not embarrass Ling Feng, and walked forward a few steps and said:

"Did you take the person back?"

"Don't worry, young lady. The prince will take care of it."

Si Yao's expression eased slightly and he looked at Lan Ying:

"Can I fight?"

Lan Ying suddenly reacted and replied:

"I can crush someone like him to death."

Ling Feng was surprised at the other party's arrogance, but knowing that he was the one asking for help, he acted in a way that showed weakness, with a forbearing and gloomy expression, but his spirit of resistance was clearly revealed.

"Let's go and meet your prince."

Si Yao gave Lan Ying a look that told her to act according to circumstances. She could use special means to enter and leave the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion safely, but Lan Ying couldn't. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was not a place where anyone could come and go as they pleased...
