The Divine Doctor Son of the Female Master
Chapter 174 A Visit from the Night
Lin'an County.
On the day Shen Xizhi returned home, almost everyone knew that she had been the top scorer in the imperial examination, causing a sensation throughout the county.
The county magistrate, county officials, and villagers all came to congratulate him. My mother and father were surrounded by the crowd. They looked at me with red eyes and smiles on their faces. There was excitement, joy, pride and honor in their eyes.
Including the godmother and godfather, their faces were filled with smiles.
However, due to time constraints, Shen Xizhi politely declined all invitations to banquets and explained that he did not have enough time and could only stay for one day before setting off for the capital.
This eliminates the overt or covert thoughts of most people.
But no matter what, after all, they came to congratulate happily, so Shen Xizhi expressed his apologies to everyone with a smile and a gentle but firm tone.
The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, and everyone expressed their understanding.
"As for mother and father, as well as godmother and godfather, I will take you to the capital city after I have settled down." After dinner, the two families sat together to celebrate, and Shen Xizhi said while looking at his family.
Hearing this, Mo's mother's face was relieved, and a warm current surged in her heart, but she shook her head, "Hahaha, Xizhi is thoughtful, but our family..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Xizhi knew that she wanted to refuse and the reason for her refusal, and immediately said: "Godmother, don't rush to refuse. I know what you are worried about, but you also have to think about Buyi."
"She is going to take part in the martial arts examination in a month. With her skills, she will definitely be able to get an official position in the capital. By then, will you not care about her?"
"Ah? Are you going to the capital city too?"
After these words were spoken, not only Mo's mother and father, but also Shen's mother and father looked at Mo Yi in surprise. They had never heard her mention it before?
Four pairs of eyes stared at him, making Mo Yi feel awkward. He scratched his head and stammered, "Uh... I made the decision suddenly, so I didn't have time to tell you, hehe..."
The main reason was that she had known too many corrupt officials in the past, so she had no desire to visit the capital, and even deep down she felt chilled for the man in a distant high position.
But after seeing the emperor's decisive and ruthless measures before, as well as the slight understanding she gained from this trip to the capital, her ambitions were brought out again, so... so she also wanted to take part in the military examination, so that she could guard the border and defend her country in the future!
"What's the matter? You were worried and unwilling to agree to it before, but now your godmother and godfather won't refuse, right?" Shen Xizhi tilted his head and smiled shyly.
"Okay, you two~" Mother Mo raised her eyebrows and pointed at the two juniors and said, "How dare you hide such a big thing from us elders?"
Shen Xizhi was stunned, then smiled, "Haha, we didn't mean it..."
For a moment, the room was filled with laughter and joy.
......
"Quq," Suddenly, the door outside was knocked.
Mother Shen looked puzzled, "Who would come to see us at this time?"
"Is it a villager again?" Mo's mother said.
There was another knock on the door.
Mo Yi put down his glass and stood up, saying, "I'll go take a look."
Arriving at the door, Mo Yi asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, who is coming?"
There was silence outside the door for a moment, and then a cold voice sounded: "In the palace."
As soon as the words fell, Shen Xizhi and Mo Yi, who had just walked to the door, looked at each other. They frowned, their eyes full of surprise.
Why would someone come to the palace at this time?
Besides, he was just a small sixth-rank reader in the Hanlin Academy, and the vacation specially granted by His Majesty had not yet arrived. Why would he come to see her?
Sensing something was wrong, the two became alert, but after thinking it over, Shen Xizhi decided to open the door and take a look.
With just one glance, Mo Yi knew what she was thinking. He motioned for her to step behind him and then carefully opened the door.
"It's you?" Mo Yi exclaimed when she saw the person coming, but she felt relieved.
It seemed that he was an acquaintance. Shen Xizhi came out from behind Mo Yi and saw Ming Feng, whom he had met before, the emperor's personal guard.
The two of them hurriedly welcomed the person into the house.
The four elders couldn't help but frown as they watched their two daughters go out and come back with a... a woman in black with an extraordinary temperament.
Especially Shen's mother, who had some kung fu skills. When she saw the person coming, she felt that her aura was faintly murderous. She narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking that this person was not simple!
"Xizhi, who is this?" she stood up and asked.
Shen Xizhi explained: "Mother, this is someone close to the emperor."
"What?" After the words of introduction were spoken, the surroundings suddenly seemed to fall into silence.
After all, they were just common people and had never seen a high-ranking official before. Moreover, when they saw the people around the emperor, they were naturally shocked and their bodies froze instantly.
Shen Xizhi and Mo Yi wanted to say something to break the tense atmosphere.
Without waiting for them to speak, Ming Feng directly took out a yellow scroll from his arms. It was the imperial edict that symbolized the supreme power of the emperor. He looked at Shen Xizhi and said, "I am here on the orders of the emperor. Shen Xizhi, please accept the order."
The voice was cold, carrying an invisible aura.
At the same time, it also brought the two pairs of parents back to their senses.
Then, the six of them knelt down and waited for the decree with respectful expressions.
Ming Feng whispered, "Xutai County has been hit by a sudden flood. The court has sent Prime Minister Su to provide disaster relief. The emperor has ordered Shen Xizhi, a sixth-rank Imperial Academy student, to go to Xutai County immediately to assist Prime Minister Su in disaster relief."
After saying this, Ming Feng handed the imperial edict to Shen Xizhi, "Master Shen, please accept the edict."
Taking the imperial edict with both hands, Shen Xizhi said solemnly: "I will obey the imperial edict and will definitely fulfill my mission!"
His words were firm and powerful, revealing a determination to move forward without hesitation.
Everyone stood up, but there was a hint of worry in the eyes of the two pairs of mothers and fathers.
After all, that's a flood...
But this is the duty of an official, and the fact that she was appointed by the emperor before she even entered the court is enough to show that the emperor values her and cherishes her, so even though they are worried, they can't say anything.
Ming Feng saw the emotions in their eyes, waved his hand, and said softly: "Don't worry too much about Lord Shen. The emperor has sent people to accompany Lord Shen to protect him during the Xutai trip."
As soon as he finished speaking, ten black-clothed Hades Guards appeared out of nowhere. Each of them had a cold aura and gave people an invisible murderous aura.
Seeing such a group of people again, Mo Yi was startled, and then felt relieved.
With such a group of powerful people accompanying and protecting her, Xizhi was going on official business under the emperor's order this time, so she naturally could not go with him. She was worried about it at first, but now she was relieved.
Even though the two pairs of mothers and fathers were not clear about the skills of the ten men in black, they felt they could put their minds at ease just by looking at their aura.
Seeing that the matter was finished, Shen's mother enthusiastically invited Mingfeng to sit down and drink tea, but was politely rejected. She turned her head and looked at Shen Xizhi again, and said in a low and deep voice: "Sir Shen, the emperor has something else to say."
There was a slight pause in his voice, and Shen Xizhi immediately understood that these words were meant only for him to know, so he nodded to his family and took Mingfeng to his study.
