Lin Xilan subconsciously placed her hand gently on her abdomen, feeling the subtle changes.

The belly under her palms was slowly bulging, the baby was growing slowly, and every gentle fetal movement of the baby made her feel extremely happy.

Her eyes were soft and loving.

Fortunately, her pregnant belly is not yet obvious enough to be seen at a glance.

and so.

If Lin Xilan didn't say it, no one would know that she was pregnant.

She smiled softly.

——At present, she cannot return to the Northern Dynasty, nor can she contact Beichen Yuan. She has no relatives in the Southern Kingdom. The only people she can trust and get help are her old subordinates.

In this case, what's the harm in walking the same path again?

go with!

Lin Xilan decided that she would take part in the scientific examination!

Next.

Lin Xilan started reviewing time.

Murong Xuan obviously took this matter very seriously, and for this reason, he even hired someone to tutor her.

Perhaps in order to demonstrate the ignorance of a beginner, Lin Xilan acted very confused, but she was able to draw inferences about other situations, which made her teacher very satisfied.

"Master, I actually have a question that I've always wanted to ask."

This day.

She put down the book in her hand and asked casually, "I have always been curious. Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a bad relationship with Lord Xiao? Why does he support the imperial examination this time?"

"Why did he want to complete what Xiao Wujiu didn't complete?"

"I don't know."

Lin Xilan asked the question that had been bothering her.

She stared at the teacher in front of her motionlessly, hoping that the teacher could give her a satisfactory answer.

The women's scientific examination was a plan she had planned in the past that failed and died in the womb!

Murong Xuan was one of the people who stabbed her in the back.

But why would Murong Xuan stab her in the back?

Why?

Why?

Why did he, after stabbing her in the back, go against the majority and continue to use the imperial examination system she proposed?

You know, if Murong Xuan insists on doing so, it will cause an uncontrollable bloody storm in the court!

——Moreover, she had specifically inquired about it at the beginning, but all she got were scandals and gossips about herself when she was Xiao Wujiu. She had not heard of any new female officials taking office in recent years.

and so.

Murong Xuan's series of fascinating operations are really too confusing.

That guy, why did he do that?

"Who told you that?"

The stern and solemn teacher frowned and his face darkened.

Lin Xilan blinked her eyes. "Of course I heard about it. I don't understand something, so I came to ask the teacher. If it's inconvenient, then don't answer."

She tried to please the master intentionally, pretending to be an ignorant girl in her teens. This indeed won the master's favor, and he treated her like a junior and took good care of her. He did not get angry when he heard her words.

Just shook his head.

"These are all rumors from outsiders. In fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Xiao have a very good relationship. Lord Xiao is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's teacher and has taught him since he was a child. The two of them are close and are both teachers and friends."

Lin Xilan: “…”

They were close friends, and what did it mean that they were both teachers and friends? When she died, she was in her twenties, at the perfect age and in the prime of her life. Murong Xuan was still a little brother to her.

She has always been the one teaching people step by step.

"and then?"

The Master shook his head and continued, "Then, Lord Xiao unfortunately met his death. Lord Xiao was wrong to conceal his identity, but he also made great contributions. It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who pleaded for Lord Xiao and collected his body. Unfortunately..."

The Master seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had touched upon some unspeakable secret.

pity.

What's a pity?

Lin Xilan became even more curious.

"Oh, there's nothing to regret. Although Lord Xiao died, he still used his life to fight for the vital interests of the women of the Southern Kingdom. You see, if it weren't for her, there would be no female official position in the Southern Kingdom, and women would still not be allowed to participate in the imperial examinations. Isn't it? As long as the current imperial examinations can continue, it is hard to guarantee that there will not be talents like Lord Xiao in a few years!"

He stroked his beard and said, "But you don't have to be discouraged. I think you are also a good candidate. Although you are not as good as Master Xiao, you are not much worse than her! As long as you work hard to catch up, you will definitely be able to do it."

"You have to believe in yourself, this scientific expedition will definitely be successful!"

Lin Xilan listened quietly, as if she was listening to someone else's story, but the teacher talked for a long time without making any sense of it.

This still disappointed her.

There was a flash of deep thought in his eyes, and then Lin Xilan smiled slightly and bowed respectfully.

"Yes, Master."

She sneered and thought to herself, this boy still has some respect for his teacher. Even though he stabbed her in the back, he also carried on her legacy perfectly.

just.

Women's imperial examinations have been suppressed for many years. In addition, the southern country has a serious hierarchy, so not many people take part in the examinations and there have been no achievements.

It was probably because the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom could no longer stand it and held Murong Xuan accountable. Murong Xuan had no choice but to come up with his own idea.

but……

It's the same old story. Even if she has to walk the same path again, what's the problem? - She is not afraid!

And this time, she can start over again with her original identity, gender, and appearance. This is much better than the hellish start in her previous life!

then.

In the following time, she started to be very serious.

No matter whether it was the assigned homework or the books in the Prince's Mansion, she read them all without exception, and even surpassed her teachers. Even the teacher praised her repeatedly.

It was not until the day before the scientific expedition that she finally saw Murong Xuan again.

It was a quiet night. She was sleeping soundly when she heard the door suddenly pushed open.

The sound of footsteps broke the silence in the room.

The next moment, someone pushed the door open and walked in, bringing with him an aura that could not be ignored.

The man was dressed in red, as hot as a flame, reflecting the extraordinary temperament of the visitor.

Murong Xuan walked in gracefully and walked to the bed slowly. Every step he took seemed calm and unhurried, as if the whole world was under his control.

Looking at her in the moonlight.

His eyes were deep, like the brightest stars in the night sky, staring quietly at the person on the bed. His eyes seemed to contain endless stories.

“Still very similar.”

"It's really similar."

"If only she were still here..."

Lin Xilan was really tired from studying these days.

As soon as she heard the voice, she knew it must be Murong Xuan's.

She was too sleepy to open her eyes, so she was too lazy to open them.

She believed that although Murong Xuan was a romantic man, he still had some gentlemanly demeanor. He would not do anything excessive to her. He just came to secretly look at her.

then.

She was too lazy to even open her eyes and fell into a deep sleep...
