Long Live the Empress

Kong Lin'an was carried out of Jingzhao Yin. Yue Jing looked at the whip marks all over his body and her eyes darkened.

Kong Linan wanted to stand up and salute Yue Jinghao, but she held him down, "Hurry up and lie down. Heal your wounds first. I will take care of the rest."

How could Jingzhao Yin let someone go just like that? Kong Linan knew that Yue Jinghao must have put a lot of effort into saving him, and he was so grateful that he couldn't express it in words, "Miss, you saved me again, and I owe you more and more..."

Although the voice was weak, Yue Jinghao could sense the gratitude in it. "What's the point of owing someone anything? I've made a bet on you. If I don't save you, who will? You have to heal your wounds and get the top score in the exam to prove that I, Yue Jinghao, didn't make a mistake in choosing you!"

Such words were undoubtedly the greatest encouragement to Kong Linan. He nodded slightly and then fainted...

Yue Jinghao asked Lao Zheng to settle him down and then went to Qiansui Mansion to express her gratitude.

Wang Yi led Lu and told Yue Jinghao what happened. It turned out that Kong Linan's classmates were jealous of his literary talent, so they framed him for cheating. If it weren't for Yue Jinghao, Kong Linan would probably have no chance of fame in his life.

Yue Jinghao listened silently and said nothing, because she knew that jealousy was the source of all evil...

Yan Liyuan wore a crescent-shaped white gown today, which made him look gentle and elegant. It seemed that he was not the cold-blooded Nine Thousand Years Old, but a scholar with a wealth of knowledge.

Yue Jinghao collected her thoughts and bowed to express her gratitude. "Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Nine Thousand Years Old Man."

"I thought you would forget about me after you used me!" No matter how elegant he looked, Yan Liyuan's mean nature could not be changed. "Who is he?"

The secret guards had already investigated Kong Linan's entire family, but Yan Liyuan just wanted to hear what Yue Jinghao had to say.

"I bet that he will be the top scorer in this spring's imperial examination! So I placed a bet on him. If I don't save him, won't I suffer a great loss?" Yue Jinghao looked at Yan Liyuan and smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

"The eldest lady seems to know too much." Yan Liyuan couldn't bear to see her caring so much about Kong Linan, and his face turned a little cold.

Yue Jing smiled but said nothing, just staring at Yan Liyuan. After a long silence, she stood up and bowed to leave, "The person I mentioned the other day who deserves to be killed in Wei State was not Yan Chun. That's all I have to say, I'm leaving now!"

"Could it be that the eldest lady is talking about Prime Minister Yue?" Wang Yi thought that Yue Hanwen could be so cold-blooded and ruthless to his own daughter, and felt that it was very likely that it was him, so he hurriedly asked Yue Jinghao.

Unexpectedly, Yue Jinghao sneered, "Him? He's just an ant-like person. There's no need to bother investigating him. Within a year, there will no longer be a Prime Minister Yue in Wei State!"

Such arrogant and ruthless words made Yan Liyuan feel a little bit of expectation for Yue Jinghao. His daughter brought her father down, so how could he miss such a good show?

"Master, who could that person be, Miss? How about I catch up with him and ask him?"

Yan Liyuan glanced at him and said, "Isn't Yan Chun's matter embarrassing enough? If I ask that little thing again, won't she laugh at me to death? Humph!"

Wang Yi felt guilty and blushed. He hesitated for a long time before he said, "The eldest lady seems to care about Kong Linan very much! Not only did she give him a sum of money, she also sent people to serve his mother! Lord Governor, you didn't see it, when the eldest lady saw Kong Linan's injury, her face changed..."

Wang Yi was just making small talk, but the more he talked, the darker Yan Liyuan's face became!

Wang Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, Miss. I'll use you to block it first."

"Hmph, you haven't been doing your job well recently. Go down and accept your punishment! Let Wang Er in!" Is Yan Liyuan so easy to fool?

Wang Yi knew he was in the wrong and went out dejectedly.

Wang Er saw that he was listless and sighed, "Brother, Miss Yue hasn't gone far yet. If you chase her quickly, you will definitely catch up!"

Before he finished speaking, there was no trace of Wang Yi in front of him...

Yue Jinghao looked at Wang Yi from the carriage, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and she felt a little relieved. "Guard Wang, this time it was my daughter who made you lose face. As compensation, I will give you an idea to make money. How about that?"

Silver? Wang Yi's heart suddenly trembled. Although he was not short of silver, who would complain about having too much silver? "Please tell me clearly, Miss!"

"Guard Wang, can you find someone to start a bet on who will win the first place in this spring exam?"

"It's not difficult to start a gambling game, but how do I know who will..." Wang Yi frowned and looked at Yue Jinghao.

"Whoever wins the bet, Guard Wang will buy it... But Guard Wang must not reveal any information to others, otherwise you won't get as much money as you win. ... Uncle Zheng, let's go."

Wang Yi looked at the carriage going away, then ran back to his room to count his small treasury...
