At this time, the two of them were unaware of the big event outside. They thought that Jiang Yao was taken away just because Jiang Xue cried and wanted to find him - that's what the person who took Jiang Yao away said.

In fact, Jiang Xue did not cry, and both children were taken back by Jiang Chi.

From now on, they will be kept in the Jiang family and cannot enter the palace or go out at will.

Perhaps only after the secret forces of the Jia family and the Chen family are completely eradicated, can these two children live more freely.

.........

When Luo Zheng set off, Xie Ying secretly asked Xiangxiang to follow him.

Firstly, he was worried that the Jia family would get wind of the news and prepare in advance to ambush Luo Zheng.

The second is to take advantage of the opportunity to rob the robbers.

Although the Jia family seemed to be in decline, they had great ambitions and it was impossible for them to be unprepared.

Xie Ying was not greedy and had never thought of emptying all the warehouses of the Jia family.

She just wanted to see if there was a chance to take advantage of the situation and get something valuable.

When Luo Zheng arrived at the clan territory where the direct branch of the Jia family was located, the patriarch of the Jia family had indeed received the news in advance and had already fled.

Only a bunch of old, weak, women, children and unsuspecting men were left to face the butcher knives of Luo Zheng and the Black Qilin Guards.

Luo Zheng naturally did not let the Black Kirin Guards kill people indiscriminately, but just arrested them all.

However, he could not return to Beijing to report immediately because he had to thoroughly investigate the Jia family's network of relationships and whether they had committed any crimes over the years.

This matter was investigated for a long time, but Luo Zheng was unable to return to Beijing until the spring examination.

Xie Ying had no choice but to focus on Xie Xiu's spring examination first.

Xie Ying was worried that there were still accomplices of the Jia family and Chen Shou in the capital, and that they would attack Xie Xiu again, falsely accusing him of cheating in the imperial examination or destroying his answer sheet.

You know, there are many ways to destroy the answer sheet. As long as you secretly make the answer sheet dirty, you will cause the dissatisfaction of the examiner and be directly dismissed!

So when Xie Xiu took part in the imperial examination, Xie Ying almost used Xiao Miao to keep an eye on him at all times.

He not only stared at Xie Xiu, but also at the examiners and paper collectors.

I'm afraid someone is doing something secretly.

Fortunately everything went smoothly.

Perhaps it was because Xie Xiu's current status was not taken seriously by those people, or perhaps it was because Emperor Taihe had been in a low mood recently and had asked the Black Kirin Guards to keep an eye on this Spring Examination, making the other party very nervous and not daring to have any bad thoughts.

So Xie Xiu was not deliberately targeted this time. Not to mention tampering with his test paper and answer sheet, no one even dared to use tricks to make him draw a bad number.

The so-called smelly cell is the cell next to the toilet.

When candidates take the exam, they are in small compartments, which are called rooms.

If a candidate is unlucky and draws a room next to the toilet, he or she will be surrounded by the smell of the toilet and will be miserable throughout the whole process.

There were no flush toilets in ancient times, so you can imagine the smell in the toilet.

Even if Xie Xiu was mentally strong and overcame his discomfort to get the first place in the exam, he would still be called the "stinky top scholar" and would be infamous for eternity.

If Emperor Taihe did not want to select a "discredited number one scholar" and bring shame to himself as the emperor, he might have lowered Xie Xiu's palace examination score so that he could not enter the top three.

So Xie Ying kept watching, worried that Xie Xiu would have bad luck and choose a bad number.

If that was the case, even if she cheated, she would make Xie Xiu choose again.

Fortunately, Xie Xiu was lucky and was not targeted by anyone.

I completed the entire imperial examination smoothly.

When he walked out of the cell, Xie Xiu still pretended to be very tired. It was not until he was helped by Liu Ye to get on his own carriage that he let out a long sigh and laughed silently in relaxation.

Half a month later, the results of the imperial examination were announced.

There were a lot of people looking at the list that day, and the place where the list was posted was crowded with people.

Xie Xiu didn't go to look, only Liu Ye ran over.

Xie Ying sat there with a smile on her face. She had already known the result from Xiao Miao, so she was not in a hurry at all.
