Time Travel and Love

Chapter 16 Leaving the Capital

Just as Chu Qingmeng was glaring at Mo Liuyuan angrily, Mo Wushuang finally came out. The princess and concubine Liu gave them repeated instructions at the door before they were willing to let them leave.

At the entrance to the examination hall, Mo Wushuang and Chu Qingmeng exchanged a few auspicious words before preparing to escort them into the room. Before entering, Mo Liujin turned back and gave Chu Qingmeng a long look. For some reason, he suddenly felt a strange uneasiness, though he didn't know where it came from. He took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness, and turned to enter the examination room.

After seeing the two brothers off, Mo Wushuang and Chu Qingmeng headed straight for the capital's finest restaurant, ordering a few fresh dishes they'd never seen before and enjoying them with gusto. As they ate, they planned an afternoon stroll through the capital's bustling streets, including a visit to the Sifang Pavilion, which they had never been to. Chu Qingmeng also told Mo Wushuang about her plans to explore the city. Mo Wushuang was briefly upset that she couldn't bring him along, but then she realized her mother would definitely not approve of her going out, and it wouldn't be good if Sister Qingmeng couldn't go out either. So, she cheered herself up and followed Chu Qingmeng on the street.

In the evening, after their stroll, the two finally returned to the palace. Chu Qingmeng stayed for dinner. Mo Liufang wasn't there, but Wushuang had told them that the Duke of Zhenguo's son was celebrating his birthday, and since they were close friends, they decided to go. Chu Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief; she had always found seeing him awkward. After dinner, she shared her thoughts with the prince and princess. Naturally, the couple unanimously disapproved. After all, it wasn't that safe here, even with servants accompanying them, it wasn't necessarily safe, let alone going alone. After some explanation and assurance, Chu Qingmeng finally agreed to Mo Chenfeng's suggestion to bring along his fifty secret guards. Only then did the couple feel somewhat relieved and reluctantly agreed to Chu Qingmeng's "sightseeing plan."

After seeing Chu Qingmeng return to the Chu residence, Chen Siyu sighed, "This child really can't stay still. She likes to be alone." Mo Chenfeng nodded in agreement, "Isn't it true? When I brought her back to Beijing, Shuang'er was always noisy. I didn't expect she had such a lively personality! Now that I think about it, I'm afraid she was just very reserved when she first arrived."

The night passed in silence. Before dawn the next day, Chu Qingmeng had already packed up the equipment he had brought with him. He had to carry his gun with him. Although he had secret guards, he still had to protect himself. Should he also bring two sets of men's clothes? After all, he still couldn't do such a complicated hairstyle. Wearing men's clothes might look fake at first glance, but at least he wouldn't have to bother with combing his hair. He took the rope, dagger, and various medicines he brought with him! Just in case! After packing everything, Chu Qingmeng put on his backpack and prepared to leave when Mo Liujin's face suddenly flashed through his mind. Chu Qingmeng paused, took off the little bunny doll from his keychain, called a secret guard, and asked him to give the things to Chunhe, asking Chunhe to say congratulations to Mo Liujin and himself on getting into high school! He then thought about asking the secret guard to deliver the fan he bought yesterday as well. This one was for Mo Liuyuan. After all, they were taking the exam together, so it wouldn't be a good idea to only give it to one person.

After doing all this, Chu Qingmeng mounted his horse and rode away.

At this moment, Mo Liujin, who was in the examination room, suddenly woke up, and his heart began to pound as if it had sensed something. This feeling made Mo Liujin frown. He stood up, rubbed his forehead, took two deep breaths, and tried to calm himself down. By the time he calmed down his panicked heart, it was already dawn, and Chu Qingmeng had already left the city gate of the capital.

Three days later, after the examinations were over and the two brothers returned to the palace, Mo Liujin learned from Mo Wushuang that Chu Qingmeng had left the capital three days prior for a leisurely trip. Mo Liujin finally understood why he had been so anxious that day. Seeing his third brother's downcast expression, Mo Wushuang said, "Third brother, Sister Qingmeng said she'll be back when she's had enough fun. And don't worry, Father has arranged for her to have secret guards."

Mo Liujin nodded and put away his emotions, thinking to himself, indeed, isn't there a secret guard? The secret guard he sent her is also with her. When the ranking of the imperial examination comes out, he can contact the secret guard and know where she is. Then he can go find her! No matter how much he thinks now, there is no way. Before the ranking of the imperial examination is announced, his father will never let him leave the house. After all, this is related to his future, and even more to whether he can marry Qingmeng. After hearing that she rejected her eldest brother, he understood in his heart that Qingmeng wants a husband who can support himself, not someone who needs to rely on his family to achieve something! It is precisely because he understood this that he studied harder. He was confident in this imperial examination and he would definitely be on the list! He can give Qingmeng everything she wants by himself!

Time flew by, and three days later, it was the day for the results to be announced. Madam Liu paced back and forth in her courtyard. Mo Liuyuan sat in the corridor, watching his mother anxiously, and said nonchalantly, "Mom, please stop pacing. If we pass the high school entrance exam, we can't escape. If we don't, even if you flatten the yard, we won't be able to pass. So, please take a break!"

"You bastard!" Aunt Liu feigned anger, quickly walked over, grabbed Mo Liuyuan's ear, and scolded him, "Pah, pah, pah! How dare you say such unlucky words!"

"Report! Aunt! Report! Aunt!" The servants in the mansion hurried over.
