These words happened to fall into the ears of the teacher who came to inspect. The old scholar was so angry that his blood pressure soared. What kind of dirty words were these?

The old scholar stormed into the examination room, "Who said that just now? Have you learned to respect teachers?"

When the students saw the old scholar coming, they hurried to answer the questions seriously. Xia Youan gave the old scholar a wry smile.

Two days later, the rankings came out and students crowded around the list to check their scores.

Many people would pray to the Buddha before looking at the list, muttering to themselves, "Amitabha, Buddha, please bless me, and make me a top ten scorer in any subject!"

Those students who didn't take math, physics, or chemistry looked at them like they were idiots. "Hey, are you guys going crazy? The science exams don't test those things, so why are you acting like this?"

The students who were worshipping the Buddha said disdainfully, "You don't understand! There's a generation gap between us. We can't communicate with those who haven't taken Master Xia's class."

"Tsk~ Who wants to communicate with you guys?"

"Chen Xu, look! You're in the top ten in chemistry. You can go to Beichuan!"

"Wow~ I'm here too, that's great, I can go with you too."

"And me, hahahahahaha, I'm in all three departments!"

Some are happy and some are sad. Among the thirty places, there are a lot of repeated names, and in total only twelve people made it into the top ten.

The top ten are almost all senior students, after all, they have a larger reserve of knowledge.

Back in the classroom, Xia Youan watched with joy as they walked in one by one, some excited and some frustrated.

"I'm sure you've already seen the rankings. Go home and discuss it with your parents. Those who want to give up their spots, those who want to go at their own expense, and those who want to pay off their debts, please let me know this afternoon after you've discussed it.

After confirming the places, we will depart from the Imperial College the day after tomorrow morning."

When they heard about paying off a debt with one's own body, the students all burst into laughter. "Master Xia, you really want to pay off a debt with your own body?"

"Of course, paying off debts with one's own body is most welcome!"

At this time, a large number of students were eager to make a move, "Master, I won't pay for it myself, I will also pay off the debt with my body!"

"Sure, I accept everyone who comes!"

Students: “…”

Master Xia, you really dare to brag!

Because he had to wait for the students' reply in the afternoon, Xia Youan returned to the palace.

Emperor Xiaojing also left the court and returned to the imperial study.

Walking in the huge imperial palace, Xia Youan ran into Chu Chengze again.

"Hey~ Old Seven isn't with you?"

Du Zuo quickly stood in front of Xia Youan and said, "Prince, please respect yourself!"

"Hey~Isn't this the eldest prince? His hair has grown out?" Xia Youan said sarcastically.

"You! It was indeed Old Seven who did it!" Chu Chengze was driven crazy by Xia Youan's words.

"Don't blame everything on Mo Yuan. Everyone in the palace knows you have no hair. I know there's nothing surprising about that. According to your logic, everyone who knows is the culprit, right? Get out of here!"

Xia Youan pushed the eldest prince away. She was no longer the unknown person who had to hide from everyone she met when she first came to Da Chu.

Chu Chengze went to Concubine Shen and said, "Mother, how long do we have to wait before we can take action? It's been so many years, don't you understand?

Father has always favored the Seventh Child. He has never had eyes for you or me!"

Concubine Shen looked at her son angrily, "Do you think I don't want to? All the people I sent out to assassinate over the years have never returned. Thousands of people have died in the past few years!

Do you think that a young boy like Chu Moyuan can withstand so many assassins sent by me?"

"Where is my grandfather? I saw her leave your palace. Didn't my grandfather say when he and Wai Bang would start fighting?" Chu Chu Chengze asked anxiously.

When Prime Minister Shen was mentioned, Concubine Shen became even more angry. "It's okay if you don't mention your grandfather, but it makes me angry. Your grandfather asked us to stop. He said that the emperor is in his prime and can still sit on the throne for more than ten years. We will see what happens when he abdicates."

Chu Chengze got anxious when he heard this, "We have been preparing for so many years, why should we stop just because he tells us to?

I think my grandfather is just old and his ambition has been worn away!

How long will it take for my father to abdicate? I'm afraid I'll be old by then.

I don’t care, I must become the emperor!

I want Xia Youan to crawl at my feet and see if she dares to act arrogantly in front of me again."

Concubine Shen looked at this useless son and warned him, "Do you still want to kill your father and usurp the throne before your father abdicates?

How many emperors who came to power through such means could stay on the throne for long?

You just have to behave yourself. As long as your father doesn't appoint a crown prince, you still have hope!

We just need to kill Chu Moyuan and Chu Linzhou, the two biggest threats.

Don't just stare at Xia Youan all day long."

Chu Chengze was furious. "Then why don't you kill them both right away? Isn't your lover very good at martial arts? Let him do it!"

Snapped!

Concubine Shen slapped Chu Chengze in the face, "You bastard! How dare you say anything nonsense!"

"Ha~

Am I talking nonsense?

Do you dare to say that there is no man hiding in your bedroom?

You actually dared to hit me for that man?" Chu Chengze pointed at Concubine Shen and shouted angrily, stroking his cheek.

Concubine Shen realized what she had done and hurried to look at Chu Chengze's face.

"Chengze, how are you? Does your face hurt? Mother didn't mean it!"

Chu Chengze pushed Concubine Shen away and roared, "You are not my mother. Father only has eyes for the Seventh Brother, and you only have eyes for that man. Which of you has ever cared about me?"

After saying that, Chu Chengze covered his face and ran out.

"Chengze! Listen to your mother's explanation!" Concubine Shen chased to the door, but Chu Chengze had already run far away.

Xu Lang walked out of the bedroom and looked at Chu Chengze who was walking away with a complicated look in his eyes.

Concubine Shen fell into Xu Lang's arms and cried, "Did I do something wrong? I should have let you take him away!"

Xu Lang patted Concubine Shen on the back and comforted her: "It's okay, I will leave for Beichuan soon. I don't believe that Chu Moyuan has no chance at all!"

"But we haven't succeeded once in all these years. Even if you go..."

"No, if I really can't find an opportunity, I will find a way to leave."

The figure of the Dragon Guard flashed across the roof, and Xu Mingda soon knew what happened in Concubine Shen's palace.

In the imperial study, Xu Mingda reported the news heard by the Dragon Guard to the emperor.

"Catch him alive. If you can't catch him alive, kill him. In short, don't let him reach Beichuan alive."

"Yes!"

In the afternoon, the students had made their decisions, and a total of thirty-four students headed to Beichuan.

The good news is that 23 students are willing to pay off their debts with their lives, but the bad news is that no one can pay for it themselves.

But this does not pose a problem for Xia Youan, he will definitely develop and utilize them to the fullest extent.
