Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 795: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 56

Miaomiao was not really stupid. After Doctor Zhang left, she thought for a long time. Everyone else in the capital was trying to curry favor with Xiao Yunzhou, and the invitations were as numerous as snowflakes.

Thinking about it this way, the only one who harbors ill intentions towards the descendants of the Xiao family is the deposed crown prince who has been imprisoned in the prince's mansion.

Fortunately, she had been training Xiao Yunzhou in martial arts almost every day, which allowed him to avoid the assassination in such a situation.

When Miaomiao thought of this, she felt a little relieved.

That afternoon, the Third Prince heard about Xiao Yunzhou's assassination attempt, so he sent a team of guards openly and also secretly sent a number of secret guards to protect Xiao Yunzhou.

Miaomiao thought about it and decided to take Xiao Yunzhou back to the Xiao Mansion to live. She also began to get ready to clean up those useless things.

Unfortunately, Miaomiao did catch one or two assassins later, but as soon as they were caught, they bit the poison in their mouths and died immediately...

Time passed and it was time for the palace examination of the Enke Dynasty. On the day of the examination, the air was filled with the scent of sandalwood incense in the Taihe Hall.

Your Majesty personally set the questions, asking about border defense, administration, and grain transport.

All the candidates were more or less affected by such a dignified environment, and their pens were trembling. Only Xiao Yunzhou showed no sign of the fragility caused by his previous injury, and his pen was as steady as a rock, without any panic.

Later, he even proposed some shocking ideas in his policy papers, such as "cultivating crops to support the army" and "governing officials like a mirror". When His Majesty asked additional questions, he answered them fluently, which made the old emperor so excited that he slammed the table and named Xiao Yunzhou the top of the list.

While the exclamations that Xiao Yunzhou caused in the Hall of Supreme Harmony had not yet died down, the news spread like wings to the residence of the deposed crown prince.

The deposed prince originally thought that he would get the news that even if the assassination was not successful, he had damaged Xiao Yunzhou's foundation, and then he failed the palace examination and became a waste.

Unexpectedly, what he got was Xiao Yunzhou's high spirits. His policy paper was praised by his foolish old father as "a sharp weapon for the country", and later it aroused the admiration of all the ministers. It was simply too brilliant.

The deposed prince was silent for a while, then suddenly covered his chest with his hands. A fishy and sweet smell rose in his throat, and then he couldn't breathe, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The writing on the chess manual was dyed scarlet.

Then, without saying a word, he fell to the ground, and the servants behind him were so scared that they hurried to call the court doctor and the imperial physician.

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xiao Yunzhou accepted the imperial calligraphy bestowed upon him by the old emperor. The light in his eyes was brighter than the gilded pillars inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Three days after the results of the Enke Palace Examination were announced, the Ministry of Personnel drafted the appointment documents.

According to convention, even the top scholar needs to climb up step by step, so he should be appointed as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy.

But the old emperor thought of Xiao Yunzhou's policy proposal and the tragic incident of a whole family of loyal heroes being exterminated, which was still being discussed in the court, so he finally picked up his pen to revise it, thinking of giving Xiao Yunzhou a sixth-rank editor position in the Hanlin Academy, allowing him to serve in the Southern Study and participate in confidential matters.

But I didn't expect that it was the third child in the family who raised objections at this time.

"Father, Xiao Yunzhou's talent is not suitable for the Hanlin Academy.

Now that the local administration is lax, it would be better to grant him the post of Inspector-General and let him tour the country on behalf of the emperor. This would not only show the court's intention to rectify the situation, but also fulfill my father's intention to compensate the Xiao family.

Besides, Yun Zhou didn't know who he had offended. He had been assassinated several times in the past few days. During the palace examination, his arm was injured, and it was difficult for him to go to the palace with the injury.

It would be better if I could leave the capital soon, so I can get some peace and quiet."

The third prince did not mention the deposed crown prince, but the old emperor understood it as soon as he thought about it. It must be that good-for-nothing in his family. After discovering that the Xiao family was not extinct at all, he became angry.

Thinking about the news two days ago from the Imperial Hospital that his good-for-nothing son was so angry for some unknown reason that he vomited blood in the prince's mansion and was in a coma for a day before waking up, the old emperor felt that perhaps the method suggested by the third son was not impossible.

After all, he had raised the eldest brother since he was a child, and the old emperor really couldn't bring himself to kill him. Moreover, the eldest brother's anger was now directed at the Xiao family, not at the third brother in front of him. Somehow, the old emperor was even a little relieved.

After thinking it over, the old emperor finally nodded.

"Then you should be the fifth-rank Imperial Inspector. The return of the Xiao family has caused dissatisfaction among some aristocratic families. Please help the child of the Xiao family."

When the old emperor spoke to the third prince, he never mentioned the deposed crown prince, but the position he was given was far beyond what an ordinary top scholar could offer. Even if the Xiao family had been powerful before, their children would not have received such a high position initially.

Although the fifth-rank inspector censor is not the highest-ranking one, he can inspect local areas and impeach officials. He holds the imperial sword and has the power to execute first and report later. As long as they are not in the capital, he is someone that everyone must bow to.

Xiao Yunzhou was very satisfied with this position. He pretended to be nervous when he received the order, but his eyes were full of determination.

He didn't want to take the so-called Hanlin Academy editor position. Miaomiao was rarely seen in the palace. Now that the relationship between the two was so unstable, any man's interference was enough to break the relationship between them.

Miaomiao is his treasure. He must keep her by his side all the time and watch over her all the time, not letting her have the chance to see those dirty men outside. How can they be worthy of Miaomiao?

This is the only person he has ever fallen in love with in his two lives, how can he let go?

The third prince came with the people who announced the decree. After those people left, the third prince spoke to the two masters of the Xiao family with a stern face.

"I have already told His Majesty in a subtle way about my useless elder brother hunting you down.

But it is obvious that the emperor's preference for my useless brother over the years is not so easy to eliminate.

Therefore, after hearing my implicit statement, the emperor directly changed the sixth-rank official position originally intended for you to the fifth-rank.

My people said that you became a big hit during the palace examination a few days ago. When the news was passed to my good-for-nothing elder brother, he was so angry that he vomited blood and then was in a coma for a day.

The emperor stayed by his side for a long time, but his heart softened. If I hadn't told him about the assassination, he would have been confined for three months at most and then released again."

The Third Prince didn't say this to Xiao Yunzhou.

From the secret letters between the two of them, Xiao Yunzhou knew exactly what his good-for-nothing brother's attitude was.

He did this at the request of his younger brother Yunzhou, explaining his dangerous situation to his future brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and the reason was simply to help Yunzhou find a wife.

Tsk, men who are obsessed with love are really too scary.

"Otherwise, I'd better go and destroy him."

Miaomiao was really annoyed. These days, whenever Xiao Yunzhou stepped out of the Xiao Mansion, he would encounter various assassinations.

There were many different tricks, and there were assassinations in the Xiao Mansion, but Xiao Yunzhou's people were very strict in their investigation and found out the trick before the other party took action.
