Sai Zhongqiu opened his mouth wide in shock: "You...why are you..."

He couldn't ask a complete sentence for a long time, and Quan Zhou Deren already knew what he was going to ask.

Right now, he couldn't run away, so he could only say in a broken jar, "If you hadn't caused me to be expelled, I would have taken a place on the list!"

Thinking that the emperor had taken one hundred extra names this year, he felt heartbroken and looked at Sai Zhongqiu with even more sinister eyes.

Sai Zhongqiu just felt wronged: "Zhou Deren, that day in Yuzhen Tower, I advised you not to make troubles several times, but you didn't listen, and you insisted on taking advantage of that little advantage, so you were arrested and brought to the court. , what does this have to do with me?"

He thinks he has done his best no matter whether he is a friend or a younger brother.

How did Zhou Deren have the nerve to blame him this week?

No matter how kind-hearted Sai Zhongqiu is, he has no choice but to be irritated by people's toothlessness.

"It's you. I was arrested in the government office. I thought you were going to intercede for me. I never thought that you were going to harm me. It must be you. It was you who said something in front of the government official. It caused me to be expelled, why did you kill me?"

Zhou Deren screamed hysterically, the expression on his face distorted with anger.

On Sai Zhongqiu's originally mild face, a trace of sullenness slowly crept up: "You are simply hopeless!"

"I'm from my hometown. You bumped into my horse just now. I thought you were sad and demented for a while. Go away quickly, and don't let me see you again in the future."

After all, he was about to climb on the horse and continue his unfinished parade.

However, in Zhou Deren's eyes, his bright red No. [-] scholar's robe was simply dazzling.

How could Zhou Deren watch him continue to straddle the street in front of him?
Therefore, before Sai Zhongqiu had time to climb on the horse's back, he drew the knife from the side of the servant's waist and stabbed the horse's abdomen.

Everyone didn't expect that after talking about this point, he would actually attack and hurt someone.

Just as the point of the knife was about to cut through the horse's belly, the figure that had saved Sai Zhongqiu moved again.

With a wave of his robe sleeves, a gust of wind was blown up, and Zhou Deren was immediately blown away.

Zhou Deren's bones were hurting from the fall, and he saw clearly that the young man standing in front of the man and horse seemed to be in his early twenties, with a cool and handsome appearance, and a good temperament, especially those eyes, as if anyone In his eyes, people are dead.

"You... who are you? Why do you want to meddle in your own business?"

Zhou Deren was about to die, if it wasn't for such a Cheng Yaojin, Sai Zhongqiu would be half disabled if he didn't die.

The imperial court will not want a disabled champion.

However, it was Sai Zhongqiu's joyful voice that answered him: "Brother Qin, I didn't expect that you are not only talented in literature, but also have a good kung fu. I thank you brother Qin for your generosity. Thank you so much."

At this time, some people in the crowd also recognized him, shouting, "Isn't this No.2's second place?"

"It is said that Tan Hualang is the best-looking among the new Jinshi, but I didn't expect that the second place is also very good-looking."

Listening to everyone's comments, Zhou Deren finally knew that the young man who ruined his good deeds was named Qin Rui, and he was on the same list as Sai Zhongqiu, and was selected as the second place in the imperial examination by the emperor himself.

Zhou Deren's face was pale, but he didn't understand, if Sai Zhongqiu, the number one scholar, was abolished, wouldn't he be the number one scholar?
Why did he save him?

Qin Rui glanced at him and saw through his thoughts: "My brother Saixian and I are close in literary talent, it doesn't matter who is the champion and who is the second. You are different, after today, you may never have the chance to take the entrance exam in your life."

After saying that, he looked at the yamen officer at the side, the yamen officer understood, stepped forward immediately, escorted Zhou Deren and walked towards the yamen.

With a pale face, Zhou Deren struggled to run away: "No, you can't arrest me, I just frightened him, and he didn't fall to his death, why do you interrupt my official career?"

"Let go of me! You are typical officials and guards!"

However, just as he yelled twice, he was stunned by a stone thrown by ordinary people on both sides of the road.

With the first one, there will be the second one, and soon, Zhou Deren, who was spurned by others, can only howl.

Seeing this scene, the ladies who watched the excitement upstairs clicked their tongues.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect there to be such a lively scene. I thought that Zhou would have been thrown out of the capital long ago!"

However, she didn't hear any response after calling for a long time, so she couldn't help but glanced at Lihuang curiously.

But Li Huang's gaze was fixed on the white figure, and the fingers under Yun's sleeve couldn't help but clenched tightly.

She pushed her cautiously: "Your Highness, is it possible that you recognize the second place?"

As her words fell, Qin Rui downstairs seemed to sense something, and turned his head to look upstairs.

With just one glance, Li Huang's pupils shrank violently.

It's those eyes!

Those eyes are exactly the same as the person in the dream!

Li Huang took a deep breath, tightly controlled the expression on her face, not to let her emotions leak out.

"Your Highness?"

Zuo Qing had never seen Li Huang like this before, although her face didn't change much, but sitting so close to her, how could she not feel the difference?
Li Huang withdrew his gaze, picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip.

"I'm just curious. The second place in the list is not bad. Why is no one on the list to catch a son-in-law?"

Being diverted by her like this, Zuo Qing immediately shook out the gossip she had heard.

"Of course there is. As long as it is in the first class, everyone is picking it. It's just that the second place said that he has already engaged in a marriage, and that's the end of everyone's hope."

Li Huang looked up at her: "Is he engaged? Where is he from? Why have you never met such a person before the exam?"

It stands to reason that it would be difficult for a person with such an outstanding appearance to not be famous while walking in the capital.

However, until before the exam, she had never heard of such a person.

"He lives in a house in the south of the city rented out by the imperial court, but his family seems to be quite rich, so he lives alone, and he doesn't come out to hang out on weekdays. see him."

"Don't say your Highness, you haven't seen him, and neither has your servant."

Hearing what she said, Li Huang felt more and more that there was something wrong with that man.

She winked at Ling Yuan, and Ling Yuan immediately exited the private room.

This trip out to watch the excitement made Li Huang feel very restless.

Although she always wanted to find the man in her dream, and kill him before he took them over.

But when the man did show up, she found that all her sanity had gone.

It was just a suspicion today, and she almost couldn't control it and rushed to kill that person.
