When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

"boom--"

Not long after Nanny Li left, Jiang Song leaned back and fell on the carpet, his eyes closed and his face as usual, as if he was just asleep.

However, if you look closely, you can see that the rise and fall of her chest is getting weaker and weaker, and her breathing is almost non-existent.

Hearing the noise, Xiuyun rushed into the room and saw Jiang Song lying on the ground. She was horrified and called out in panic, "Madam! Madam! What happened to you?"

Xiuyun tried to wake Jiang Song, but Jiang Song did not respond. She ran out of the courtyard anxiously and shouted, "Hurry up! The young lady has fainted!"

The servants of the Xie family rushed over upon hearing the noise, and the house was in chaos for a moment.

Chu Jinghong and Xie Guangting also hurried over. Seeing Jiang Song's condition, Chu Jinghong's face turned pale and Xie Guangting frowned.

"Go and ask Dr. Xue to come!" Xie Guangting ordered.

Chu Jinghong gently stroked Jiang Song's face with trembling hands, tears welling in her eyes, "Song'er, I hope nothing happens to you..."

The doctor was quickly called in, and after carefully examining Jiang Song's condition, he looked troubled.

"Alas! Young Madam's symptoms... I'm afraid they're caused by exhaustion and mental and physical exhaustion. Her pulse is weak, and her breath is almost gone. This is a sign of extreme weakness.

"I'll prescribe a prescription first and see if I can wake her up."

Xie Guangting's heart sank when he heard this, but he remained calm. "Thank you, Doctor Xue. Please be sure to save Song'er."

Doctor Xue shook his head and sighed, "I will do my best, but you should also be mentally prepared. It's still uncertain whether he can wake up in the next few days."

After saying this, Doctor Xue picked up his pen and wrote down the prescription, and told his servants to quickly get the medicine and boil it for consumption.

The room fell into silence again. Chu Jinghong held Jiang Song's hand tightly, tears silently sliding down her face.

Xie Guangting stood aside, his brows furrowed, his eyes deep, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

"Guangting, do you think Song'er might be... because of Jiang Shu's matter..." Chu Jinghong choked and couldn't continue.

Xie Guangting patted her shoulder gently and said, "Don't think too much. Let's wait for Song'er to wake up."

The Xie family has decided to resign the title, and Xie Yunni only wants to seek opportunities to cultivate immortality. There is no one in the court to rely on, and Jiang Song is their only hope.

Xie Guangting and his wife also hoped that Jiang Song would win the first place in Fengwu Academy and make great achievements in the future to support the Xie family.

Now Jiang Song suddenly fell into a coma, how could they not be anxious?

As the night deepened, the lights in the Xie family's house remained brightly lit.

The servants were busy shuttling between the rooms, decocting medicine, changing water, and serving, all of which seemed tense and orderly.

At the same time, Jiang Song's spirit left his body and followed Nanny Li all the way. He found that she sneaked back to Yongshou Hall and secretly exchanged glances with an unfamiliar maid, who then hurriedly left the Xie Mansion.

Jiang Song's soul was hidden in the dark, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

This bird's nest must have been tampered with, and Nanny Li and the maid were obviously instructed by someone.

But she remained calm and just observed quietly, trying to follow the clues and find out who was behind it.

The maid left Xie's house, turned several times and walked into a narrow alley, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous house.

She knocked on the door gently, and it opened quickly, and a figure welcomed her in.

Jiang Song's soul followed closely behind, passed through the wall, and saw the scene inside the house.

There was flickering candlelight in the room, and a man in a cloak was sitting there. His face was covered by the shadow of the cloak, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.

"How's it going?" the cloaked man asked in a low voice. His voice was hoarse and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

"My lord, I have put the medicine in the bird's nest as you instructed, and watched her eat it with my own eyes." The maid replied respectfully.

"Very good." The cloaked man nodded and took out a gold ingot from his sleeve. "This is your reward. Remember, this matter cannot be leaked, otherwise..."

The cloaked man's words were full of threats. The maid trembled with fear and nodded in agreement. After taking the silver, she hurried away.

The cloaked man looked at the maid's departing back, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he stood up, blew out the candle, and disappeared into the darkness.

Jiang Song understood everything, returned to his body, and continued to pretend to be unconscious.

As dawn breaks, the sky gradually turns orange and red, and all things wake up in the hazy light.

Although it is winter, it is a rare sunny and warm morning.

Fengwu Academy is only a few miles away from the Taixi Palace. It is located on hundreds of acres of fertile land granted by the emperor and is the highest-standard women's martial arts school in the empire.

Today is the big day for Fengwu College's admissions exam.

Candidates from all corners of the world gathered in front of the gate of Fengwu College early in the morning, all of them eager to try.

Among them, there are young ladies from prominent families, talented women from humble backgrounds, and many women like Jiang Song who carry family expectations and are eager to realize their ambitions.

Fengwu Academy's recruitment exam is divided into two parts: a written test and a martial arts competition. The written test examines the candidates' theoretical knowledge of martial arts, military strategies, and their insights into current affairs, while the martial arts competition directly tests the candidates' actual combat capabilities and martial arts skills.

The two scores are ranked comprehensively and the best candidates are admitted.

The first three days of Fengwu Academy's admissions examination are all written examinations. Candidates need to complete a series of written tests and policy essays to demonstrate their attainments in martial arts theory.

Today is the first day of the written examination.

An hour before entering the examination room, the guards had placed five Jianzhen mirrors, each ten feet high, at the entrance of the examination room to identify whether the candidates were disguising themselves or using someone else's identity.

All candidates must undergo a verification mirror examination and confirm their identity before entering the examination room.

What’s even more amazing is that this Jianzhen Mirror can even clearly detect the items in storage bags and storage rings, preventing candidates from bringing in cheat sheets or other cheating tools.

At this time, there was less than a quarter of an hour before the examination began, and the candidates had already lined up in a long queue, waiting to pass the Jianzhen Mirror test.

Jiang Jun's luxurious carriage stopped outside the gate of Fengwu Academy. She was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, pearls and jade on her head, and had exquisite makeup. She slowly got out of the carriage with the help of her maid.

She looked around and saw the nervous or excited expressions of many candidates, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In her opinion, these candidates were just a bunch of rabble, how could they be compared with her, Jiang Jun?

"Second Miss, I've checked carefully. That bitch Jiang Song hasn't shown up yet. I'm afraid he won't be able to take the exam."

Bihe, Jiang Jun's personal maid, leaned close to her ear and whispered in a flattering manner.

Hearing this, Jiang Jun's smile widened. "Well done! I'll make sure she misses the exam today and completely destroy her future."

The master and servant smiled at each other, and Jiang Jun held his head high and walked towards the entrance of the examination room.

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounded from afar, and a carriage with the Xie family emblem printed on it suddenly stopped outside the examination room.
