"Li Yuncheng said that their bodies are being transported to the capital, including you and Prince An."
Su Yuewu clenched his fists and said nothing. He shouldn't have left early. If he hadn't left, they wouldn't have died.
Su Qingwan understood him and guessed what he was thinking, "Don't think too much. Even if you didn't leave at that time, you probably couldn't save them. Instead, you would lose your life and Prince An's life."
"What should I do now?" Their figures flashed before Su Yuewu's eyes. Although he had only known them for a few months, they were still his brothers who had been through thick and thin with him. He had to avenge them, but he knew that he must not act impulsively.
"You and Prince An go to the palace first and tell the emperor what happened. The emperor will know how to make arrangements."
"Okay, I'll go to the palace with Prince An now."
"You should go see your elder brother first. He will go to the Imperial Court tomorrow. I will ask Li Yuncheng to take you to the palace later."
Su Yuewu hurried back because he wanted to send his elder brother to the examination room, while Prince An was worried about his sister Yue'er. They never expected that after the two left, the returning team was slaughtered.
Su Yuewu bit his back teeth, then let go, "I'll go see my brother."
As soon as he left, Su Qingwan ordered someone to go to Prince Xian's Mansion.
……
In the palace, Chengde Hall.
The chief eunuch gently placed the fragrant tea of suitable temperature on the table and carefully observed Emperor Wen Jin's expression.
Alas! He sighed in his heart!
Ever since the Emperor learned that Prince An was in trouble, his face has not looked good. He knew that the Emperor was waiting for His Highness's body to be returned to the capital, but he was worried that the Emperor's body would not be able to hold on.
Emperor Wen Jin was looking at the memorial in front of him, but his mind was not on it. He was thinking about Prince An.
"I shouldn't have let him go to the North."
If he hadn't gone, nothing would have happened.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince An is blessed with a long life, perhaps he will be fine." The chief eunuch said in a nice way.
Emperor Wen Jin also hoped so, but there was no news of the people he had arranged to go out. Those people were the elites of the Dark Guard Battalion. If they were all dead, Prince An was afraid...
Just thinking about this made Emperor Wen Jin feel extremely heartbroken.
Ever since Prince An was a child, he had not had high expectations for him. He just wanted him to be a happy and leisurely prince. He even had his fiefdom chosen in his mind long ago. It was a rich land of fish and rice, close to the capital, so that it would be convenient for him to come back.
However, the Crown Prince fell ill, and his condition became more serious year by year. The other princes were also a cause of worry. Only Prince An never thought so much and had a sincere and filial heart towards his father.
But now, his favorite son is gone, how can he not feel heartbroken and sad?
"Your Majesty, the prince is here."
The young eunuch outside came in to report, and Emperor Wen Jin calmed down and let the person in.
Afterwards, Li Yuncheng walked into the hall with two people from the Imperial City Bureau.
"Who are they?"
Emperor Wen Jin frowned. Usually, Li Yuncheng was a very disciplined person and never did anything beyond the rules. Why was he so unruly today?
"My son has met my father!"
Prince An took off his helmet and bowed to Emperor Wenjin.
"Ze'er!"
Emperor Wen Jin immediately stood up and walked a few steps to Prince An. He looked at him carefully. Although he had not seen him for several months, he knew that he was indeed his son.
"what on earth is it?"
Prince An then explained the matter.
Emperor Wen Jin looked at Su Yuewu with joy. He didn't expect that the Chengping Marquis' Mansion had produced such a lucky general. If he hadn't been thinking about his elder brother who was going to take the imperial examination and thus returned to the capital first, they might never have come back.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Emperor Wen Jin said yes repeatedly, and the gloomy expression on his face just now disappeared.
In the Marquis' Mansion, Su Qingwan waited until late at night before Su Yuewu returned from the palace. She did not ask what the emperor had said to him, thinking that after a few days, there would naturally be rewards sent to her.
The next day, Su Yuewen entered the Imperial Examination Hall again. Both siblings thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion would take action again, but everything was calm, and this calmness lasted until the end of the imperial examination.
"It's all right now. We just need to wait for the results to be announced."
Jiang said with a smile, and after picking up her eldest son, she went straight back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Soon, it was the day of the results announcement. Su Qingwan looked at Su Yuewen, "Brother, are you nervous?"
"Brother probably isn't nervous, but I am!" Su Yuewu paced back and forth restlessly.
These days, he has been staying in the mansion and has not even been to the prince's palace. He is feeling very depressed and doesn't know how long he has to wait before he and Prince An can see the light of day again.
Su Yuewen smiled slightly. He was naturally nervous, but he had tried his best. The rest was up to fate.
"I think Aunt Rong and the others will be back soon, and we'll know soon whether I passed or not." Jiang clenched her hands nervously. Although she seemed to be sitting, her heart had already flown to the place where the results were announced.
After waiting for a while, Jiang couldn't wait any longer and wanted to ask someone to go out and take a look. Then he heard someone outside shouting:
"Yes! Yes! Madam, Miss, our eldest son has won!"
Qingda ran quickly into Helin Courtyard, announcing the good news in an extremely excited voice.
Jiang stood up immediately and said, "Great! I knew my son would win."
Su Yuewu also breathed a sigh of relief, while Su Yuewen looked calm and asked calmly, "What's your ranking?"
"First! First!"
Qingda grinned, obviously happy too.
"Young Master is first! Young Master is first! After the Spring Examination, it will be the Palace Examination soon. Young Master will definitely be the top scorer."
Ah You shouted loudly, tears welling up in his eyes unconsciously.
"Why are you crying again, kid?"
Su Yuewen also looked relieved and went over to pat Ayou on the shoulder.
"Master, it's not easy."
Ayou has been following Su Yuewen. He saw how he studied late into the night and forgot to eat and sleep. Ayou had thought that he would get a good ranking in the spring examination, but after getting first place, Ayou could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
"Brother, congratulations!" Su Qingwan smiled with her eyes curved. Her brother was one step closer to becoming the top scholar. The next step was to take the palace examination.
The news that Su Yuewen had ranked first in the exam was quickly sent to the main courtyard. The old marquis was so excited that he stood up directly, but the next moment his eyes went dark and he fell down uncontrollably.
"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?" Su Qingwan looked anxious on the surface, but her heart was calm as water.
"It's nothing! I just didn't get enough rest at night."
The old marquis was extremely happy that his grandson had obtained the first place in the exam. No matter whether the emperor would choose him as the top scorer in the palace examination or not, the title of their marquisate was secured.
But he didn't know that at this time, someone was impeaching the Chengping Marquis Mansion in the court.
"Your Majesty, Su Yuewu was only concerned with escaping for his own life and failed to protect His Royal Highness Prince An. I implore Your Majesty to issue an arrest warrant for Su Yuewu and punish the Marquis of Chengping!" In the hall, a civil servant knelt down with his head bowed and spoke loudly.
Then, several more people stood up to second the motion.
Su Zhiru was extremely anxious when he saw this. He knew that he should not have let Su Yuewu take the path of a military officer, and now something had happened.
After angering Jiang at home that day, he left the mansion directly and lived in the government office. He wanted to go back to the mansion after the court session today to see the results of the exam, but he didn't expect that the court meeting today had lasted until now.
And this group of people actually came for Su Yuewu, and because he wanted to implicate the entire Marquis' Mansion.
Emperor Wen Jin remained expressionless and only glanced at the official who spoke first. This person was Dong Wenhai, the eldest son of Prime Minister Dong and the current Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The other officials who knelt down were also from the lineage of Prime Minister Dong.
