The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

"Miss, this is the rice dumpling that Madam specially begged for from the Confucius Temple. I will hang it up now. Our young master will definitely pass the imperial examination!"

The maid Jinxiu walked into the room happily, carrying a string of rice dumplings.

Liao Qinglan's heart skipped a beat and she looked at Jinxiu in confusion.

She clearly remembered that the Pepper Palace was burned down and she was trapped in the sea of ​​fire, so how come she didn't die?

When he looked down again, he saw that she was wearing a green jacket and skirt, which was clearly her usual attire before she got married. There was no trace of the queen's gorgeous phoenix robe.

Could it be that she was reborn?

"Miss, why don't you speak? Are you not feeling well?" Jinxiu saw that Liao Qinglan was daydreaming and asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Liao Qinglan shook her head and asked tentatively, "When will brother take part in the imperial examination?"

"There are still three days left!" Jinxiu opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "Miss! You count the days left for the imperial examination every day, how come you forget it when it's time?"

"Three days!" Liao Qinglan stood up suddenly and ran straight to the outer courtyard.

The Liao family has been a family of noble character for generations, with poetry and etiquette passed down from generation to generation.

Her father was the top scholar chosen by the emperor, and was appointed prime minister because of his vast knowledge.

Therefore, the powerful people of the time tried their best to send their children to Liao's school.

But her father was not restricted by family background and accepted scholars from all over the world. As long as they had real talent and knowledge, they could become his disciples.

But who could have expected that her father, who had been loyal to the emperor and observed etiquette throughout his life, would have a traitor among his disciples, and would even succeed in usurping the throne in the future.

If she remembered correctly, Gu Mingzhao injured his leg at this time, which ruined his path to the imperial examination.

As she ran, she prayed in her heart that she would make it in time.

Liao Qinglan walked to the outside of the school with ease, leaned against the window and secretly looked inside.

Jinxiu smiled softly and said, "Miss, are you worried about the young master? The scholars all say that the young master is very talented and will definitely pass the imperial examination this time."

Liao Qinglan looked around again and again but couldn't find Gu Mingzhao, and her face became serious.

She had never been so eager to see Gu Mingzhao as she was at that moment.

In her previous life, she didn't like seeing Gu Mingzhao, and was even afraid of seeing him.

In the few times they met, the impression this man left on her was that he dragged his disabled legs, limped away from the crowd, hid in the corner, and looked at everyone sinisterly.

Later, he transformed himself into the King of Qin, and broke into the palace with great force, forcing her to surrender by threatening the lives of her family members.

And so she stayed with him for many years.

Gu Mingzhao's personality was changeable, sometimes he was extremely violent, sometimes he was gentle and affectionate. The only constant was that he would summon her to sleep with him every day.

As the former queen, she was always by the new emperor's side, which caused many rumors. She knew very well.

Liao Qinglan once suggested to him that he should expand his harem to stabilize the country.

He was like a madman, his eyes were red as he pinched her neck, gritting his teeth and saying, "You have always looked down on me. Even if I am the emperor, you still don't want to be with me, right!"

From then on, she never dared to mention this matter again, and only secretly hoped that Gu Mingzhao would get bored sooner and let her go.

After her rebirth, she went straight to look for Gu Mingzhao, but unexpectedly she didn't find him.

"Is it still too late?" Liao Qinglan murmured.

She stood outside the window for a little too long. Cheng Xuejiu, who was giving a lecture, thought she had something to do, so he winked and asked Liao Wei to come out first.

Liao Wei was a little confused.

His sister took his schoolwork more seriously than anything else and never disturbed him when he was studying, so why did she come over today with a worried look on her face?

"Lan'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Liao Wei asked loudly.

Liao Qinglan frowned: "Brother, do you know where Gu Mingzhao is?"

"Gu Mingzhao?" Liao Wei was very puzzled as to why his sister suddenly cared about others, but he still answered honestly: "He just had an argument with others and was slightly injured. I asked someone to send him back to the guest room first."

Liao Qinglan's heart sank. She bowed hastily, turned around and walked towards the guest room.

Before I even reached the guest room, I heard two maids talking:

"With such a serious injury, I'm afraid my leg will be useless."

"He has been in a coma the whole time. He might even die."

When Liao Qinglan heard this, she almost couldn't breathe.

"Who... are you talking about?" Liao Qinglan asked with a pale face and a trembling voice.

The two maids were surprised to see Liao Qinglan in the outer courtyard. They said, "My lady, a scholar was injured and was sent back to the courtyard."

"How is he now?" Liao Qinglan asked tremblingly.

"The situation is not optimistic. His legs were broken and he has a fever. Even if he doesn't die, it will be difficult for him to stand up again."

Liao Qinglan felt dizzy and almost fell down. Fortunately, Jinxiu supported her in time.

"Take me to see him." Liao Qinglan said.

"Miss, all the people staying in the guest rooms are men from other countries. You can't go in." Jinxiu hurriedly stopped her.

The two maids were about to lead the way, but when they saw Jinxiu stopping them, they stayed where they were, at a loss as to what to do.

"My brother is about to take the imperial examination, but such a thing of bullying is happening in the mansion. If something happens to him and it is spread by someone with ulterior motives in the future, it will definitely affect the future careers of my father and brother. Who of you can afford to bear it?" Liao Qinglan scolded coldly.

The three of them immediately understood the interests involved and hurriedly took Liao Qinglan to find someone.

In the courtyard where the guests lived, they walked towards the most remote room, which was Gu Mingzhao's room.

He lay half dead on the bed, with blood at the corner of his mouth.

The room was very simple. It was spring and the weather was still chilly. He only had a very thin quilt. Liao Qinglan felt cold just by looking at it.

Under everyone's surprised gaze, Liao Qinglan reached out and touched the man's forehead. She was shocked to find that it was terribly hot and she couldn't help but clench her fists.

"Jinxiu, send someone to the palace and tell them that I fell from the tree, and ask the imperial physician to come to the house immediately!"

Before Jinxiu even reached the door, she was stopped again: "Don't send anyone, go by yourself, there is no time to waste."

Seeing that the young lady's face was serious, Jinxiu did not allow any doubt and said no more, and went to do her work immediately.

Liao Qinglan instructed the other two, "Go prepare some hot water and some handkerchiefs, and get some thicker bedding."

The two maids did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately prepared everything she wanted.

After the water was brought, the maid wrung out the handkerchief and prepared to take care of Gu Mingzhao. Unexpectedly, Liao Qinglan took the handkerchief directly from her hand, gently wiped the blood from the corner of Gu Mingzhao's mouth, and then changed for a clean handkerchief and put it on his forehead.

After she finished this series of actions, she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his face carefully.

He looked a little more immature and thinner than he remembered. His body was not as strong as in his previous life, and his legs were twisted in an unnatural way, and you could tell it was painful just by looking at them.

Liao Qinglan frowned and made up her mind secretly.

No matter what, she must hold Gu Mingzhao back this time.
