Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Finally, he bowed deeply, his voice choking with emotion, "Brother Lu, I will never forget your kindness. If I can pass the imperial examination in this lifetime, I will definitely repay you handsomely."

Lu Yaoyao quickly helped him up and said with a smile, "Brother Wenxuan, what are you doing? We are friends, and it's only natural for us to help each other. It's also my honor to see a talented person like you realize his ambitions."

"Besides, it doesn't have to be that troublesome. I don't know if you are interested in me, so just promise me your body."

"Wha...what?" Liu Wenxuan didn't react for a moment, his eyes widened, and he stammered, "I...we are both men, how..."

Lu Yaoyao smiled playfully, "Just kidding. Okay, let's go in and see your mother together."

"Okay." The embarrassment on Liu Wenxuan's face slowly disappeared.

Lu Yaoyao and Liu Wenxuan went in and saw a white-haired woman half-leaning on the bed. She looked old and haggard, and even the room was filled with a smell of decay and death.

At this moment, Liu Wenxuan felt an inexplicable sense of inferiority in his heart.

"Brother Lu, this room is simple and dim, so watch your step and don't fall."

"It's okay." Lu Yaoyao continued to walk inside without caring.

Arriving at the bedside, she introduced herself, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Lu Zigui, Brother Liu's classmate."

"Good, very good." Liu Wenxuan's mother was uneducated and a genuine villager, so she couldn't say anything nice.

"Aunt, I have some knowledge of medicine. How about I take a look at your health?"

"good very good."

Liu Wenxuan's family was poor and they couldn't afford a doctor, so since there was a ready-made doctor, they were naturally willing to see him.

"Brother Lu, you also know this?" Liu Wenxuan was surprised and delighted.

Lu Yaoyao smiled slightly, a hint of confidence flashing in her eyes, "I know a little bit. When I was a child, there was an old doctor who traveled all over the world and stayed at my house temporarily. I learned a lot from him."

As she spoke, she gently placed her hand on Liu Mu's wrist, closed her eyes, and carefully took her pulse.

The room suddenly became so quiet that only the occasional chirping of birds could be heard outside the window.

Liu Wenxuan stood nervously aside, his hands clenched tightly, his eyes filled with both anticipation and uneasiness.

After a moment, Lu Yaoyao slowly opened her eyes, her expression softening. "Aunt, you don't have any incurable illness. It's just long-term fatigue and malnutrition. It's nothing serious. Just take your medicine on time and pay attention to your diet, and you will gradually recover."

When Liu's mother heard this, a light flashed in her eyes, as if she saw the dawn of hope.

Liu Wenxuan was even more excited and thanked him repeatedly: "Brother Lu, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."

Lu Yaoyao waved her hand. "You're welcome. I'll write a prescription for you right away, and you can go to town to get the medicine. Remember, you must follow the prescription and take it without making any mistakes."

Liu Wenxuan nodded repeatedly, his gratitude towards Lu Yaoyao beyond words.

He quickly prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Lu Yaoyao picked up the pen and began to write. After a while, a prescription appeared in front of him.

"Also," Lu Yaoyao added, "Auntie needs to rest and recuperate. Try not to overwork her during this period. Brother Wenxuan, you also need to take care of your health so that you can better take care of Auntie."

Liu Wenxuan solemnly took the prescription, his eyes slightly red, "Brother Lu, I, Liu Wenxuan, will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."

Lu Yaoyao patted his shoulder and said, "We're friends, why be so polite? Well, it's getting late, I'll go back first. You should go get the medicine."

After saying that, Lu Yaoyao said goodbye and left.

Liu Wenxuan's mother looked at Lu Yaoyao's back as she walked away and said, "This is a good child. I think she has red lips, white teeth, delicate eyebrows and beautiful eyes. She looks quite like a girl. It would be great if she was a girl. I think she has good looks and a good temperament. She is a perfect match for you."

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? The school doesn't accept female students."

Liu Wenxuan subconsciously refuted, but when he thought of what Lu Yaoyao said in the yard, he couldn't help blushing.

Promise yourself...how...

After Lu Yaoyao treated Liu Wenxuan's mother, their relationship progressed rapidly.

Liu Wenxuan would take the initiative to tell Lu Yaoyao the knowledge that she had not absorbed in class. Lu Yaoyao would also occasionally go to his house to help take care of his mother and ask people to help him with farming.

The two are inseparable, like twins.

Liu Wenxuan's mother prepared medicine according to Lu Yaoyao's prescription and fed her with her careful care. Her complexion gradually improved and the family regained its vitality.

On days when there were no classes, Lu Yaoyao would often send some nourishing foods or books to encourage Liu Wenxuan not to slack off in his studies.

Whenever it was late at night and Liu Wenxuan was reading by lamplight, he would always think of Lu Yaoyao's eyes full of trust and encouragement, and his heart would be filled with motivation.

There is also an obscure sweetness that cannot be known to others.

In the blink of an eye, it was the year of the imperial examination, and Lu Yaoyao came to the door in person with the prepared silver.

"Brother Wenxuan, please take care of yourself on this trip. Remember, no matter what the outcome is, you are already the most amazing person in my heart." Lu Yaoyao's words were gentle and firm, able to dispel all the uneasiness in people's hearts.

Liu Wenxuan held Lu Yaoyao's hand tightly and said, "Brother Lu, don't worry. I will do my best and live up to your expectations. When I come back, we will drink together and enjoy the peach blossoms together."

"You don't have to wait until then. You'll be leaving the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you under this locust tree. We'll go somewhere together. I hope you'll be able to focus more and do well on your exams."

"it is good."

Liu Wenxuan now has 100% trust in Lu Yaoyao and agreed without hesitation.

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, dappling onto the ancient locust tree at the entrance of the village.

Liu Wenxuan arrived early, feeling both excited and curious, wondering where Lu Yaoyao was going to take him.

Soon, Lu Yaoyao, wearing a plain green shirt, walked slowly over with a mysterious smile on her face.

"Brother Wenxuan, let's go." Lu Yaoyao said softly, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.

Liu Wenxuan didn't ask where they were going, but just followed her, the two of them walking one in front and the other behind.

We passed through the ridges and paths and finally arrived at the town where a temple fair was being held.

The temple fair abbot saw Lu Yaoyao and immediately greeted her, "You're here."

"Well, Abbot, I'm going to go change my clothes first."

"it is good."

"Hey, where are you going?" Liu Wenxuan was a little confused.

"Just sit here and listen to the opera."

Liu Wenxuan had no choice but to control his temper and sit down as he was told.

After watching the show for a while, the stage finished one act, the performers left, and a new one started.

An actress who played the role of Luoying Niangniang appeared. At first glance, Liu Wenxuan thought she was pretty, but after looking more carefully, he found that the actress looked somewhat familiar.

He looked carefully and saw that it was Brother Lu.

How does he play the role of Empress Luoying?

Is it...

A thought arose in his mind that he had never dared to think about before.
