After entering the book, the young cannon fodder brought his short-lived mother to fly happily

The doctor looked at him with pity in his eyes and sighed softly: "I really tried my best. Your leg bones were broken too badly and you were delayed for so long. Even if Hua Tuo were reborn, he would not be able to save you."

Cao Shuqing's hands dropped limply, and his eyes became empty and lifeless.

After staying for a few more days, the day of the college entrance examination announcement arrived.

After this period of rest, his injuries had almost healed, but his legs could not recover. Although he became a cripple, he could barely walk with the help of a stick.

Cao Shuqing didn't go to see the list.

Although he didn't encounter any bad luck this time and the whole process went smoothly, the repeated failures had already worn away his expectations.

Besides, what can he expect now that he is so injured?

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside and he vaguely heard someone talking about the top winner of this college entrance examination.

"I heard that the first person in this case is very young. He is really promising!"

"Yeah, I don't know whose son he is, he really brings honor to the family!"

Those words floated into his ears, but only made him smile bitterly. Talent? He once thought he had some talent, but so what? In the face of this cruel fate, talent was like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the clerk of the clinic ran in excitedly, "Master Cao, you won! You won, you are the first in the case!"

Cao Shuqing was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand.

"Are you happy as hell?" This guy had been taking care of his injuries and was quite familiar with him.

He took out a piece of paper and said, "Look, these are the top ten cases I copied. You are the top one, ranked first."

Cao Shuqing took it, looked at his name on it, his lips began to tremble violently, and a sound that sounded like crying and laughing came from his throat.

He suddenly grabbed the pillow beside him and threw it against the wall, "Hahahaha...so what if I'm the first in the case? What's the use now? What's the use?"

He was smashing things and laughing at the same time. His laughter was as mournful as an owl's. It echoed in the small room and was creepy.

His eyes flashed with anger, but tears flowed uncontrollably down his face: "I have worked so hard for so long, I gave up everything for the imperial examination, but now..."

His laughter suddenly stopped, replaced by a wild animal-like roar, "Because of that man, my legs are broken and my life is ruined!"

The guy was shocked. He came with good intentions to announce the good news, but he didn't expect Cao Shuqing to go crazy.

Cao Shuqing held his head with his hands and curled up like a wounded hedgehog.

"I'm not reconciled!"

He began to laugh wildly again, struggled to get up, and paced frantically around the room on his crutches. The sound of the crutches hitting the ground was like rapid drumbeats, beating out the desperate atmosphere.

The guy's face changed, and he slipped out along the corner of the wall. When he reached the door, he spat, "Bah, lunatic!"

Although it is rare to get the first place in the exam, it is just the first place in the college examination.

Although he had the status of a scholar, what was the use of it?

In the following days, Cao Shuqing seemed to have become a walking corpse. He didn't eat or drink, but just lay quietly on the bed, staring out the window with dull eyes.

The sunlight from the window shone on his face, but it could not warm his cold and desperate heart.

The silver that the old monk gave me was used to treat my injuries and there is very little left.

He looked at the dilapidated roof of the clinic, and his past life's glory and wealth kept emerging in his mind.

He can call the wind and rain, second only to one man and above ten thousand others.

He first joined forces with his father-in-law, quickly gained a foothold, and then rose rapidly and was promoted step by step. After that, he toppled his father-in-law, grasped most of the power, and almost covered the sky with one hand.

Those who disobeyed him were either framed or killed by him; half of the ministers in the court were dogs in front of him!

But now, he was like this, crippled by the minions of a poor prince. The difference in fate was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart fiercely. Cao Shuqing smiled bitterly, full of self-mockery and sadness.

"In my previous life, I could control the fate of others, but now I am being teased by fate." He murmured in a low voice, and his voice echoed in this silent clinic, revealing endless vicissitudes of life.

The former wealth, glory and power were like a splendid but illusory dream. Now that the dream is over, only the cruel reality remains.

He thought of those people he had framed and murdered, and the fear and despair they felt before they died, which was just like his own reflection at this moment. "Is this retribution?" A thought flashed through Cao Shuqing's mind, but it was quickly replaced by anger.

"No, it's not retribution, I haven't lost yet!"

It's impossible to be knocked down like this! Even without his legs, he still has his brain.

He knows what is going to happen in the future.

Even if he couldn't take the imperial examination, he could still be rich and powerful. He could be a staff member, and he could still dominate the court and call the shots!

The emperor will die in seven years, and the one who will ascend the throne is Prince Han, who is also a fool and does not trust him.

This time, he went to find Prince Huai.

With his assistance, he will surely be able to ascend to the throne.

Cao Shuqing's eyes suddenly lit up.

He needs to recover from his injury quickly, as he has a bright future ahead of him.

He was anxious and didn't want to stay any longer.

He only had five taels of silver left in his hand, and he had to rush to the capital as soon as possible.

Leaving the clinic, the streets were bustling with people coming and going, but Cao Shuqing was immersed in his own thoughts.

He wanted to go to the coachman's shop and hire a carriage quickly.

Suddenly, the crowd gathered in front of him attracted his attention. Amid the noise, he vaguely heard words such as "notice" and "capital".

He squeezed through the crowd with great effort, his eyes fell on the notice posted on the wall, and he read it word by word. Every word hit his heart like a hammer.

Cao Shuqing's shock and disbelief instantly surged onto his face. His eyes widened and his lips trembled slightly. His mind was in chaos, as if the whole world was overturned at this moment.

Changing the reign to Yongping? General amnesty?

The sky in the capital has changed, and the emperor has changed?

He heard the people cheering and saw everyone running around telling each other with joy on their faces.

Reduce taxes for three years and grant amnesty to the world!

"How could... How could this happen..." He muttered to himself, his body swaying slightly. If he hadn't been leaning on a cane, he would have collapsed to the ground.

This sudden change disrupted all his plans. The path to revenge and power that he had planned countless times in his mind now became unclear in the face of this notice.

He stood there blankly, and the crowd around him gradually dispersed.

He thought for a long time in his confused mind, and suddenly an idea came to him.

Who could this new emperor be? No matter who it was, with his abilities, couldn't he find a way out?

As long as we reach the capital, there is hope.

As he was thinking, he looked up and saw a person appeared in front of him.

His pupils shrank suddenly and he took a step back.
