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

The servant's heart, which had just been relieved, was immediately weighed down again, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Miss, I will never dare to do it again. Please let me go this time!" The servant almost cried.

"Mr. Gu is my father's disciple and a distinguished guest of the entire Liao Mansion. You almost killed him. You cannot stay in this mansion. Go to the farm on your own tomorrow." Liao Qinglan said.

The servants were all prepared to have their legs broken, but when they heard this, they felt as if they had been pardoned and kowtowed repeatedly to express their gratitude.

After dealing with the servants, Liao Qinglan asked the bystanders to leave first.

She looked at Gu Mingzhao's face carefully, wondering whether he was satisfied with her handling of the matter.

"Miss, there is no need to go to so much trouble for me." Gu Mingzhao said lightly.

Liao Qinglan was almost confused by him, and couldn't tell what he was thinking, so she gave up guessing and asked, "Are you satisfied with this solution, Master Gu?"

Gu Mingzhao lay there without saying a word.

Liao Qinglan looked calm, but in reality she was extremely anxious: What does it mean to keep silent...

"Although it was the prince of Zheng who did it, this incident happened in our Liao Mansion after all. I will definitely give you justice." She promised solemnly.

After a long silence, Gu Mingzhao sighed imperceptibly and said slowly: "Fairness... You know what they want is to prevent me from participating in the imperial examination. Now that their goal has been achieved, what is the point of fairness?"

Gu Mingzhao seemed to have his soul taken away from him, with only confusion and despair left in his eyes.

Liao Qinglan was touched by his sadness and felt a little distressed. She consoled him, "Don't be discouraged. You can take the exam again in the future. After three years of accumulation, you will definitely get better results."

"You have been living a life of luxury since childhood, so you naturally don't know that some people have to work very hard just to have enough food to eat. When I recover from my injury, I will still have to work hard to make a living. As for the scientific examination, I will just let fate take its course."

In her previous life, Liao Qinglan's last interaction with Gu Mingzhao was when she was imprisoned in the palace by him.

At that time, Gu Mingzhao was already the king of a country, and his words were law. No one dared to disobey him.

She knew very little about Gu Mingzhao's past.

Now that I have experienced it again, I realize that he lived in such poverty when he was young.

It’s hard to imagine how he survived the days of having a broken leg when no one cared about him in his previous life.

"You take good care of your injuries, and I'll figure out the rest."

Liao Qinglan stood up and left after she finished speaking. When she passed by Xing'er, she instructed, "Mr. Gu is seriously injured and needs someone to stay in his room at night. You should come to see him every hour at night. If he has a fever at night, let him take antipyretic medicine immediately."

"Yes."

"If you do a good job, I'll give you an extra month's salary next month," said Liao Qinglan.

"I will take good care of Master Gu and hope he recovers soon!" Xing'er was delighted when she heard this.

Xing Er sent Liao Qinglan away, boiled the medicine according to Doctor Zhang's prescription, and happily sent it to Gu Mingzhao. She couldn't help but sigh: "My eldest lady really cares about you. When you recover from your injury, you must go and thank my young lady!"

Gu Mingzhao had a blank expression on his face and sneered in his heart.

The Liao brothers and sisters are really interesting. He has been bullied in the school more than once or twice, but no one has ever cared.

Seeing that Liao Wei was about to take the imperial examination, he was worried that it would affect Young Master Liao's success in passing the exam, so he came here to try to make amends.

The cat cries and the mouse fakes mercy.

For a young lady like Liao Qinglan, who was born into a wealthy family and had never seen anyone worrying about their livelihood like him, she probably found it very strange.

But it doesn't matter. He has difficulty moving now, so it's a good thing that someone can take care of him.

If he ever gets to the fore, he will make everyone pay the price, whether it is the culprit, the Prince of Zheng, or Liao Wei who stood by and watched.

And...that eldest lady who is as pure as the bright moon in the sky, I really want to see what she will look like after falling into the mud.

Gu Mingzhao squeezed the porcelain bowl tightly, feeling depressed, he raised his head and drank the bowl of medicine in one breath.

Liao Qinglan had been busy all day and felt listless. She returned to her room, ate some snacks, and fell on the bed.

She was concerned about Gu Mingzhao's injury and was not sure whether that man had forgiven Liao Fu. She tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

Hazily in her sleep, she recalled some rumors she had heard in the palace in her previous life.

When Gu Mingzhao first ascended the throne, he dealt with many officials who disobeyed him, and the court was short of talented people.

A minister proposed to hold a special examination in advance to recruit talented people and replenish the talent pool.

Gu Mingzhao was like someone who had eaten a firecracker and he scolded the official who submitted the petition harshly.

"The imperial examination is held every three years. The time will not be changed for anyone, let alone adding an exam!" said Gu Mingzhao.

Later, whenever the scientific expedition was mentioned, he would become very angry.

After a long time, the ministers in the court clearly felt that the new emperor did not like scholars.

Two years later, when it was time for the regular spring examination, he went crazy for some unknown reason, but without consulting any ministers in advance, he announced in the court that if there was someone in his family serving as an official in the court, his direct descendants for three generations would not be allowed to take the examination.

As soon as this decree came down, the ministers in the court were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Which family doesn’t have sons and grandchildren? Which family doesn’t work hard to send their children and grandchildren to rise to the top and continue the family’s glory?

Some radical ministers took off their official hats and knelt together outside the Qinzheng Hall, forcing him to retract his decision, otherwise they would retire and return home.

But Gu Mingzhao was a madman and would never accept threats from anyone. No matter if the person was a veteran of three dynasties or had outstanding political achievements, he would approve their resignation letters one by one.

Until the end of the palace examination, when the new scholars were waiting to be granted official positions, someone revealed to him that many ministers in the court had adopted their children to distant relatives in order to obtain the qualification for the imperial examination.

Gu Mingzhao was furious and dismissed the officials in charge of household registration and examination registration on the spot. He also sent all the candidates who took advantage of the loophole to exile to the border.

"Since you want to contribute so much to the court, then go to where manpower is most needed and make your contribution."

In the dream, Gu Mingzhao had a hideous smile on his face and his eyes were flashing with crazy fire.

However, after his actions, most of the ministers in the court were replaced, and no one dared to contradict this fickle tyrant.

Most of the newly appointed officials were of commoner origin. They were grateful to Gu Mingzhao for giving them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and regarded him as their adopted parent, obeying his orders.

However, since then, everyone knew that the new emperor did not like to hear others mention the imperial examinations, and he could not accept the children of aristocratic families taking part in the imperial examinations. No one dared to touch this reverse scale of his.

The scenes in the dream kept changing. One moment, I dreamed of ministers who resigned from their posts sighing, the next moment, I dreamed of noblemen who were exiled to the frontier crying for their parents due to exhaustion. In the end, all the scenes turned into Gu Mingzhao's gloomy and grim face.

Liao Qinglan had a sleepless night and woke up the next day with big dark circles under her eyes.
