He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

Prince Yanping and his men have been rewarded by the Emperor for their meritorious service in catching cheaters.

Moreover, this achievement is not enough to allow them all to be promoted to a higher rank.

Shen Wan was just wondering, Yin Shuang had already asked, "What merits did they accomplish?"

The little maid said, "It was the new champion who asked for merit for them. The cakes that the new champion brought into the examination room were replaced by someone else, and the taste changed. The new champion couldn't help eating them, and he vomited and had diarrhea in the examination hall. The Prince of Yanping and his men gave him some anti-diarrhea pills and shared their own food with him. If it weren't for the Prince of Yanping and his men helping him, he wouldn't have gotten the title of champion, and he wouldn't have even left the examination hall alive."

Once the Imperial Examination Hall is sealed, no one can come out until the appointed time.

Ok.

The Prince of Yanping and others felt that this promotion was like a dream.

Originally, they were recommended by Xie Jingyan, which made them envied and hated from the beginning. However, they were promoted to the next level just a few months after joining the City Patrol Office. It was really frustrating to compare themselves with others.

It was not a big deal for them to be kind-hearted and help a student in the Imperial Examination Hall. Han Ge Lao had mentioned it to the emperor before, but the emperor did not take it seriously. However, they were helping the new number one scholar, and after the emperor appointed him as the number one scholar, the new number one scholar expressed his gratitude to them in front of the emperor, so the emperor had to reward them.

They are willing to help others, and the new top scholar is grateful and repays the favor, so they have the best of both worlds.

To explain this matter in detail, we have to start from the time when Prince Yanping and his men suddenly wanted to catch cheaters. They were very interested in catching cheaters and went to catch them personally.

When checking the students' food, Lu Cheng asked, "During the three days of the Imperial Examination, are these students only eating cakes?"

The Prince of Yanping asked, "How else can we have a feast of fish and meat?"

Lu Cheng said, "It's still quite hot today. Can the cakes still be eaten after being left out for three days?"

Young masters of aristocratic families like them have the best food, clothing and other necessities. It is almost impossible for overnight pastries to be served to them, unless they are bought after being left overnight and the servants don't know about it, and it is even more impossible for them to eat the leftovers. They have to make a fuss but still can't eat well. It's too miserable.

Lu Cheng sympathized with them, and Tang Ze patted his shoulder, "Not only these students need to eat cakes, we also need them."

"...No way?" Lu Cheng's forehead trembled.

The Prince of Yanping said, "The Imperial Examination Hall will not be opened until three days later. It is guarded by soldiers and officials. Not even a bird can fly over it."

Lu Cheng said, "What if I get a stomachache?"

Tang Ze said, "It seems that there have been cases where students have had stomach problems, but it's rare."

Prince Yanping said, "If you are worried, you can carry some antidiarrheal medicine with you."

Lu Cheng said, "You have to bring some."

"Then you better hurry up, the Imperial Examination Hall will be closed soon."

Lu Cheng quickly asked the yamen runner to go to the nearest drugstore to buy anti-diarrhea medicine. He was not very confident about his pampered stomach, so he was better prepared for the worst.

However, Lu Cheng did not use the antidiarrheal medicine himself, but gave it to Zhou Yuanzhi.

If food is left out for three days, there is a risk of it going bad. In order to ensure that there is enough food, the students bring freshly baked pastries that are not likely to go bad.

Zhou Yuanzhi brought his favorite osmanthus cake, which his servant bought early that morning. It would definitely last for three days.

But the pastries he bought were fine when they were packed, but tasted a bit sour when he ate them. Zhou Yuanzhi didn't think that they had gone bad, so he ate two pieces. If he didn't eat enough, his brain wouldn't work and he couldn't write.

But a few pieces of cakes were poisoned, and within two quarters of an hour, his stomach felt churning and he felt very irritable. He couldn't bear the pain and kept running to the toilet.

The frequent running alarmed the examiners. In order to provide a quiet environment for the students, they usually urinated in the examination room for brief periods of time and went to the toilet for major defecation.

Zhou Yuanzhi went there five times in half an hour. The last time he came back, he had to be helped back because his steps were so weak that he could not stand.

In this state, he was unable to answer the paper, and the deputy examiner wanted to send him to a side room and not allow him to continue the exam on the grounds that he was disturbing other candidates.

Zhou Yuanzhi disagreed. He had taken part in the spring examination and thought he had answered well. Although he might not have been the top scorer in the imperial examination, he was at least among the top ten. But in the end, he didn't even make the list. He returned to Meizhou dejected. He disappointed all those who had placed high hopes on him.

That feeling is so uncomfortable.

Just when he was feeling depressed and disheartened, news came that there was cheating in the imperial examination and the court was going to reopen the special examination. Only then did he cheer up and continue preparing for the exam.

As a result, when he entered the examination room, he had to give up because he had a stomachache. He couldn't accept it.

He wants to continue taking the exam!

But the deputy examiner disagreed. Just as Zhou Yuanzhi was dragged away, Prince Yanping and Tang Ze and others came over after patrolling the examination room and asked what had happened.

They were just supervisors, responsible only for patrolling the examination room to prevent cheating. It was not their turn to make decisions or ask questions about any matters in the examination room. However, supervisors were just their most insignificant position, and they did not develop this self-awareness. When asked directly, no one dared not to answer.

When they heard that he had an upset stomach, the corners of Prince Yeonping's mouth and Tang Ze's mouth twitched.

It would be fine if I got a stomachache on the last day, but it’s only the first day, can’t you have some snacks on your food?

When Zhou Yuanzhi said that the cakes were bought in the morning, Prince Yanping and Tang Ze felt that something was wrong and asked someone to bring Zhou Yuanzhi's cakes over. Du Cheng'an smelled it and said, "This cake has gone bad. It has been at least three or four days old."

Zhou Yuanzhi said, "How could it go bad? When the book boy bought it, the cake was still hot."

The pastries were bought from Yongfangzhai, whose business was so good that there were no pastries left to sell.

It was obvious that someone had replaced Zhou Yuanzhi's pastries.

Lu Cheng gave Zhou Yuanzhi the antidiarrheal medicine he had with him.

The deputy examiner had Zhou Yuanzhi dragged away to avoid affecting other candidates.

Zhou Yuanzhi refused to leave. If he missed this autumn examination, he would have to wait three years to take the next one.

The Prince of Yanping and Tang Ze couldn't bear it, and were even more angry that someone had stolen Zhou Yuanzhi's pastries, which was a harmful act. Their thinking patterns were always different from those of ordinary people.

The more people tried to stop Zhou Yuanzhi from taking the exam, the more they wanted to help him.

If Zhou Yuanzhi was incompetent, others would not have the bother to steal his pastries and cause him to fail the exam.

The emperor asked them to be supervisors, but they don't care about this matter. Isn't that a betrayal of the emperor?

They couldn't control the deputy examiner, so they went to find the chief examiner, Han Ge Lao.

Han Gelao was recommended by Xie Jingyan, and the Prince of Yanping and his men were Xie Jingyan's followers. Han Gelao said, "He just needs to go to the toilet a few more times so as not to affect other candidates. Allow him to go back and continue the exam."

Only after Lord Han spoke did Zhou Yuanzhi return to the examination room and continue answering questions.

Afraid that the diarrhea could not be stopped, Zhou Yuanzhi took the antidiarrheal medicine again.

His pastries were no longer edible and he had diarrhea, so the other three, including Prince Yanping, shared a portion of their food with Zhou Yuanzhi.

If it weren't for the antidiarrheal medicine sent by Prince Yanping and others, Zhou Yuanzhi would probably have died of diarrhea and dehydration in the Imperial Examination Hall.

How could Zhou Yuanzhi not repay such a kindness?

The eldest prince wanted to win over the new number one scholar, but it turned out that the number one scholar had already become Xie Jingyan's man before he even left the Council Hall.

What made the eldest prince look even more gloomy was that the new number one scholar was not one of the two that the emperor had first wanted to choose, but was picked out by Xie Jingyan from the other eight.

Was this new number one scholar chosen by the Emperor or Prince Ling? !
