The night was dark, and the people on the bed were fast asleep.

Inside the house, the person who had just returned changed his clothes, and quietly touched the edge of the bed and lay down. This action woke up the person on the bed. Lin Qu vaguely felt the coolness around Xu Qiu, and asked: " Where have you been, why are you so cold?"

It always felt like Xu Qiu had been away for quite some time.

But he wasn't sure either.

Xu Qiu leaned forward and kissed him, "Go to the latrine, good boy, go to sleep."

"En." Lin Qu replied sleepily, snuggled into Xu Qiu's arms and soon fell asleep again.

On the second day, the news of the eldest prince's death spread, and there were people discussing it in various restaurants.

The people under Xu Qiu didn't know what Xu Qiu had done, and no one even knew about Lin Qiong's falling into the water, so they heard about Gu Chengxiao's death outside, so they made a special trip to report the news to them in the morning.

"Well, I see." Xu Qiu ate his breakfast: "Let's go down first."

Lin Qu held the steamed stuffed bun in one hand, lowered his eyes slightly, and casually glanced at Xu Qiu, but he didn't ask anything.Although there was no evidence, he always felt that the deaths of Lin Qiong and Gu Chengxiao had something to do with Xu Qiu. Xu Qiu left for so long last night, and this was related?

Doubts are doubts, and Lin Qu has no intention of finding out the truth.

Although he thought in his heart that as long as he asked, Xu Qiu would definitely tell him the truth.

But since Xu Qiu didn't choose to tell him in the first place, there's no need for him to pursue it to the end.

Everything was just a fleeting thought, Xu Qiu didn't even notice his strangeness, Lin Qu said with a sweet smile on his face: "It's really a good thing in pairs, both of them disappeared one after another."

Xu Qiu almost spit out the porridge in his mouth, and coughed chokingly.

Is this good thing in pairs used in this kind of place?

Lin Qu hurriedly patted him on the back, not realizing that it was caused by his own words of tiger and wolf: "Eat in such a rush to do anything, I'm choking."

Xu Qiu coughed for a while before he stopped, "It's okay, let's continue eating."

Gu Chengxiao and Lin Qiong are dead, which is indeed a good thing for them, at least now Lin Qu doesn't need to be so guarded when going out.But after the days got better, Lin Qu, who had already become ambitious, started to start his business again, and he had already made plans before coming to the capital again.

He didn't intervene too much, no matter from the plot or from the previous days, Lin Qu has this ability.

So there is no need for him to worry about these.

The start time of the examination prepared by the imperial court this year has already been set, it was at the beginning of May this year, and they have been in the capital for so long, and they have experienced these things, and now it is not long before the official start of the examination.

Xu Qiu needs to concentrate on this.

They only sent people to protect Lin Qu's safety at any time.

As I kept my ears shut and read only the books of sages, the time for the exam finally came.

Xu Qiu was sent to the Tribute Court by Lin Qu early in the morning, there were already a lot of people waiting there, and they were already familiar with the process, even though Xu Qiu said that Lin Qu would go back first and there was no need to be here Looking at him was useless.After checking the information, the officials searched him, and before putting him in, Xu Qiu turned his head to look into the distance, and waved at Lin Qu.

Lin Qu showed a smile and beckoned.

The two smiled at each other before Xu Qiu went in.

After waiting for a while, Lin Qu walked back, but he didn't withdraw all the people, leaving two people waiting.

There are three exams in the general exam, and each exam is three days. From a common sense, Xu Qiu should stay in the exam room during these three days, but there are always exceptions to everything. Halfway through, he was carried out directly due to physical discomfort and other reasons.Although Xu Qiu's physical fitness is considered, this possibility is not great, but it is not a big deal to keep people waiting here.

Outside the examination room, most of the servants of rich families do this.

Nine days later, Xu Qiu came out of the examination room. There were crowds of people. Lin Qu had been waiting outside for a long time. Seeing him coming out, he hurriedly trotted over and grabbed Xu Qiu's arm. With an involuntary smile on his face, he asked with concern. : "How is it? Is there any discomfort in your body?"

Xu Qiu's footsteps did not stop, he led the people forward, and said indifferently: "It's still the same as before, nothing uncomfortable, but I haven't eaten yet, and I'm a little hungry."

Their three exams will be released in the afternoon of the third day, and then they will repeat the initial process of entering the Tribute Academy the next morning.

It is equivalent to having one night's washing time, and you can go home and rest.

So after these few days in a row, Xu Qiu's face looked radiant except for a little fatigue.

After being with him so many times, Lin Qu didn't feel so worried when he came out: "Then let's go to the restaurant to have dinner, and then go home to take a shower and rest."

"Okay." Xu Qiu thought so too.

The restaurant I went to was newly opened by Lin Qu.

Speaking of which, Xu Qiu had never been here before. He entered the restaurant to look at the situation. Not to mention, there were quite a lot of people, and the seats were full. As soon as he entered, Xiao Er came to greet people: "This guest..."

Just halfway through speaking, he recognized Lin Qu who was next to him, and hurriedly changed his address: "My boss is here, the private room upstairs is still available, please."

The two followed to the second floor, and as soon as they went upstairs, they saw a familiar person. Gu Chengyi waved to them, and when the person approached, he said, "I knew you would come here, let's sit together."

Xu Qiu was a little surprised: "Is your Highness looking for me for something?"

The two of them sat down opposite Gu Chengyi, the window was facing a river, and the scenery looked very nice.

"It's nothing." Gu Chengyi said: "The last time you asked me to give the medicine to the fifth brother, they have already used it, and the effect is very good. I wanted to come here in person, but I was afraid of being abrupt, so I asked me to give you a voice. Thank you, I will come to give gifts in person in the future."

Gu Chengyi had estimated the time before ordering food, but now Xu Qiu and the others sat down, and it happened to be almost the same time, and plates of dishes came up one after another.

Hearing his words, Xu Qiu shook his head slightly: "I am a doctor, this kind of body conditioning is nothing to me, so I don't need to express my congratulations."

Gu Chengyi said: "For them, this is very important. After so many years, they have finally hoped for a son. If he dies, the pressure will be a lot, and the body of the fifth prince is also the same." The backyard of the fifth prince , There are few children, and they are all daughters.

Not a single son.

The flesh and blood of the fifth prince and concubine's child was almost drained.

"There's one more thing." Gu Chengyi frowned slightly: "Your medical skills of self-cultivation, the emperor also asked about it."

You know, the current emperor attaches great importance to longevity. A few years ago, he even raised Taoist priests to take pills, but later he found that the more he ate, the worse his body became.

But in the end, the body is also broken.

Xu Qiu paused when he heard the words, he is now regarded as the second prince's person, how many years the emperor will live, the throne is related to the hearts of all the princes.He was not sure if the second prince wanted the emperor to die early.

But it is estimated that it is close to ten.

He also knew about the emperor's situation. He was indulging in pleasure and eating pills, so his body collapsed. There were rumors that the emperor would not live for a few years. Quite a lot.If it was Xu Qiuzhi, he felt that the emperor should live a few years longer or even ten years longer.

According to the plot itself, the emperor will not die until a few years later. If he is around, he can live longer.

When he was in North Vietnam, he often saw a doctor to recuperate his body. When he arrived in the capital, he first gave medicine to the second prince, and then Gu Chengyi also said that his mother's health improved a lot after eating, and she looked much younger. .And the medicine given to the fifth prince concubine and the baby she gave birth to some time ago, the effect of conditioning is probably more obvious.

After all, the fifth prince and concubine is a deficit visible to the naked eye.

And Xu Qiu could also guess the current situation of the fifth prince and concubine.

With these precedents, if he does not take good care of the emperor, how can the emperor not know?But if he takes good care of him, the life span of the emperor will naturally be extended.Under such circumstances, if the second prince wanted to ascend the throne earlier, it was hard to say whether he would be allowed to do something secretly.

After moving, will the Second Prince be afraid of him again?

Although Xu Qiu felt that he was close to the Second Prince, and his whole family belonged to the Second Prince's faction, but he was unwilling to get involved in these shady things.

He gave a simple "hmm" and continued to eat.

The world is big, and the food is the biggest.

No matter what, it will be a few years later, and it is not possible now.

Gu Chengyi does not have the idea of ​​killing his father at the moment, after all, if he kills his father, he still has a bunch of brothers watching over him.He was rather happy that Xu Qiu was favored by his father, Xu Qiu was his man, and this was also conducive to the development of his power, just right.

After the meal, the two parties separated, and Xu Qiu had to rush back to sleep. Although there was nothing wrong with his physical fitness, staying in a small room for three days was still three days in a row. It must be unbearable.

After returning home, hot water was already prepared at home, after washing, he went to tease his son, and when his hair was almost dry, he went back to the house and lay down on the bed.

Well, by the way, I slept with Lin Qu in my arms.

After all, his exam ended in the afternoon, and after eating and washing, it was almost dark and it was time to sleep.

Holding a familiar person in his arms and smelling the faint fragrance of the other person was indeed very comfortable, and Xu Qiu soon fell asleep.

A few days later, the results of the provincial examination were announced.
