When this matter spread, He Lian'er's reputation was naturally damaged. It was not easy to climb up Zhi'er. Who asked her to seduce Bai Ruozhu's man? Bai Ruozhu was not a soft-hearted Virgin.

When the group set off again, Jiang Yichun asked Bai Ruozhu in a low voice, somewhat unhappy: "Why do you do this?"

Bai Ruozhu was riding on the horse and turned around to see him frowning with disapproval on his face. His heart became cold again, "Why can't you do this? Anyone who offends me will have to accept punishment. If you feel bad, just go back and marry someone else." Now, I will make room for her as my wife."

Jiang Yichun was stunned. How could she misunderstand it?

"Where are you thinking? How could I feel sorry for that woman? If I did, I wouldn't be able to beat her away. I'm just asking you why you have to mention her approaching me. I don't like to be involved with that woman. "

The anger in Bai Ruozhu's heart was extinguished a lot. She remembered that in Gaochang City, he was not happy that she mentioned that Jin Jing liked him. It turned out that this was why he was unhappy.

"If I don't mention it, are you waiting for others to add fuel to the fire and create bad rumors, and then send someone to Beijing?" Bai Ruozhu gave him a fierce look, "You weren't the one who caused this!"

Jiang Yichun immediately withered, and did not dare to say any unnecessary words.

The weather was always good on the way, there was no heavy rainfall, and the group's trip was very smooth. In addition, the modified carriage is very fast and can basically catch up with the speed of a fast horse riding alone, so it is much faster than when it came.

This time, Bai Ruozhu and the others did not take a detour to go to Beiyu City, so the route was slightly different. They soon arrived at Duanliang City, a large city in the west.

Bai Ruozhu arranged for Chenfeng and the others to settle down and purchase supplies first, while she took Jian Qi to the Chamber of Commerce to have a look. Jiang Yichun immediately followed her, and was even somewhat hostile to Jian Qi.

"Why do you let him follow you every day and not me?" Jiang Yichun muttered softly.

Bai Ruozhu, who had sharp ears, rolled her eyes at him when she heard it and said: "Jian Qi is my bodyguard and protects my safety. Naturally, he will follow me. You are busy and you cannot always be by my side."

"Then I will also be your bodyguard from now on." Jiang Yichun said, licking his face.

"Let's see if the emperor agrees." When the emperor was mentioned, Bai Ruozhu became worried again. If Jiang Yichun was still like this when he returned to the capital, how should he face the emperor? If it doesn't work, just call yourself sick and recuperate at home.

While talking like this, the three of them found the Chamber of Commerce. Bai Ruozhu went in to get a sign to prove her identity, and soon received a letter from her master Lin Zhenghui.

"Ruozhu, congratulations to your second brother for getting second place in the exam. When can you return to the capital? Master will go to the capital to wait for you first. There will be an assessment by the young elders of the Chamber of Commerce soon. Don't miss the time."

Bai Ruozhu was so excited after reading the letter that she almost jumped up. She grabbed Jiang Yichun's arm next to her and said, "My second brother got second place in the exam. Look, what my master said in the letter!"

Jiang Yichun was infected by her emotions, and a bright smile appeared on his face, "This is great, the second brother is going to become an official in the court."

She was excited for a while, then turned to the steward of the Chamber of Commerce and said, "Help me get a copy of this year's imperial examination information."

She already had a special status, and her brother was the second in the new department. The management dared not neglect it, so they quickly handed the information to her.

"Sure enough, Tang Feng is the number one scholar." Her words were affirmative, but she was a little helpless. Tang Feng was a golden-fingered person like her, and had memories of two lifetimes. The ancient native here was really not him. opponent.

She continued to flip back, and soon saw Mr. Xie's ranking again, and she became happy. Then came Li Bin, Ding Guangji, Lin Xufei and others. Lin Xufei was relatively low in the rankings. He must have been enjoying the romance these days.

However, he was the prince of Huainan, and he was destined to become a noble in the capital. If he excelled in the imperial examination, it would not be a good thing.

I think both King Huainan and Lin Xufei knew this.

Looking back, her face became more and more ugly. Even Jiang Yichun next to her felt the murderous aura in her body and asked hurriedly: "Ruozhu, what's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong. It's just that someone took it too far and didn't want to live anymore." Bai Ruozhu almost said it through gritted teeth. The document also stated the cases that occurred during the examination. The emperor personally tried them and sentenced a total of five people. Several people were beheaded, and several officials were demoted or dismissed.

Although the Yang family was not sentenced in the end, Bai Ruozhu knew that it must have been done by the Yang family!

Jiang Yichun took the information and looked at it, but he was also very angry. His wife's second brother had been plotted against him. Wasn't it tantamount to plotting against him?

"Ruozhu, don't be angry. Fortunately, the palace is fair and honest and has already chopped off the heads of those people." Jiang Yichun advised from the side.

Bai Ruozhu knew that he couldn't remember anything about the Yang family, so she didn't say much. She gave the Chamber of Commerce manager some silver and asked him to send two letters to Beijing, one to her master and one to her family. It was clear. Approximate date of return trip.

Back at the inn, Bai Ruozhu locked himself in the room, thinking about how to deal with Yang Tianhua. He definitely couldn't swallow this bad breath like this!

After thinking for a long time, there was no effective way. Just when she was about to go back to Beijing to talk about it, a certain plot she had seen in her previous life suddenly appeared in her mind.

It's like in a costume drama, a sky stone is suddenly unearthed somewhere, with naturally formed handwriting on it, and some auspicious words written on it. Someone presented it to the emperor, and the emperor regarded it as auspicious.

Bai Ruozhu's eyes narrowed. She could also use this method, but she had to do the opposite.

Soon, she got into the space, took out bottles and jars, and started tinkering with them. In the middle of the night, she finally completed her potion.

Just to be on the safe side, she went to the backyard of the inn to find a stone to test, and it worked.

Jian Qi noticed her leaving the house and followed her. He couldn't help but ask: "Master, if you don't take a good rest, what are you doing?"

Bai Ruozhu turned his head, with a wicked smile on his face, which was a bit eye-catching under the moonlight, and even Jian Qi was startled.

"Jian Qi, I will arrange an errand for you. You go..." Bai Ruozhu quietly explained it to Jian Qi.

Jian Qi showed disapproval after hearing this, "It will take at least three days for me to come back and forth. I really can't worry about my master's safety."

"But I don't worry about sending someone else there. You don't have to be in a hurry. There are so many secret guards here, and I'll be fine." Bai Ruozhu said.

Seeing that Bai Ruozhu had made up his mind, Jian Qi had no choice but to set off immediately.

When they were about to set off the next morning, everyone realized that Jian Qi was missing, so they reported to Bai Ruozhu and asked if they wanted to send someone to look for him.

"I have some errands to handle at the Chamber of Commerce, so I sent Jian Qi to go ahead. He will wait for us to meet in the town ahead." Bai Ruozhu had already thought of an excuse.
