The palace under the scorching sun is like a colorful and exquisite painting.

The vermilion palace walls shine solemnly in the sun, the flying eaves and brackets are unique and exquisite, and the palace walls that stretch as far as the eye can see make the towering palace inside suddenly feel mysterious.

The first time Gu Jinchu came to the palace was in his previous life. After his wedding, he went to Yikun Palace to kowtow to Concubine Shu to express his gratitude.

The more glorious and proud you were at that time, the more cautious you are now.

"Don't be nervous." The man's voice was low and soft.

Gu Jinchu glanced at Jiang Nansheng beside her. This was not the first time she saw him in official uniform. From the moment he stepped into the palace, his aura seemed to have changed.

After all, they had lived together for five years in their previous life, which made her feel both familiar and unfamiliar.

She hadn't seen Jiang Nansheng like this for a long time, talking eloquently and calmly.

"Reader Jiang."

A slightly plump middle-aged man in a red robe walked up behind the two men.

Jiang Nansheng stopped and bowed, "Sir Wang, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look much thinner."

"Our duty as officials is to provide more talents like Lord Jiang and help His Majesty relieve his worries."

The man came closer and saw that he was much shorter than Jiang Nansheng, so he had to crane his neck to speak to him.

Gu Jinchu lowered his eyes to look at the ground, considering the identity of the person who came, and then he heard Jiang Nansheng continue:

"Cheating in the imperial examinations concerns the foundation of the country. I hope Lord Bai will give justice to the students as soon as possible."

The two men exchanged some official polite words and then walked forward again.

Gu Jinchu was standing behind Jiang Nansheng and learned from the conversation between the two that the imperial examination cheating case had fermented earlier than in the previous life.

This Mr. Wang is a member of the joint investigation team and seems to be an old acquaintance of Jiang Nansheng because she heard the name of Chief Wang.

In the previous life, it took three months to review the investigation results, but my cousin's father had already died in prison, and even the fetus in her belly could not be saved.

Gu Jinchu followed the two people, hoping that everything was still in time, just like Jiang Nansheng said, to give justice to those students as soon as possible.

In front of another palace gate, Jiang Nansheng and Lord Wang bowed to each other and said goodbye. Lord Wang even joked that Jiang Nansheng should use his drinking capacity to intimidate those Fuso people and kill them all.

Walking on the cobblestone road, she suddenly remembered something.

Grand Tutor Gao...The Ningyuan Marquisate and Grand Tutor Gao are in-laws. It seems that Zuo Hongwen and Lu Xiuhuai are classmates, but in fact, Zuo Hongwen and the Ningyuan Marquisate have a close connection.

In the previous life, after the imperial examination cheating case was investigated, many officials were sent to prison, Gu Jinhui's results in the spring examination were invalidated, but Zuo Hongwen was the third place chosen by the emperor.

The three of them all graduated from the Imperial College and had the same teacher. When Gu Jinchu thought of this, he felt a chill in his heart.

Taifu Gao assisted two generations of kings and was one of the Three Dukes. He held a high position of power and influence in the court. The people respected him highly, and his reputation was far-reaching and his prestige was outstanding.

After Zuo Hongwen won the third place in the imperial examination, the eldest princess fell in love with him. However, in the end, the eldest princess died in the princess mansion because she could not get what she wanted.

But she clearly saw that Zuo Hongwen and the eldest princess were having a very pleasant conversation.

The death of the princess in the previous life did not affect Zuo Hongwen's career. The last time we heard about him was when he was appointed as the Minister of Personnel after the new emperor ascended the throne...

Seeing that Gu Jinchu's brows were furrowed, as if he was troubled by something, Jiang Nansheng asked softly, "Are you worried about your cousin or Kaiji's father-in-law?"

Gu Jinchu heard this and pinched her wide sleeves with her sweaty hands, shaking her head, "How can a girl like me understand the affairs of the court?"

She didn't dare look up at him. He was obviously a gentle and elegant man, but sometimes his eyes seemed to be able to peel off the layers of people's hearts and see through everything he wanted to know.

"It will be soon...everything will be settled..."

Gu Jinchu didn't hear clearly what he said, so he looked up and asked, "What?"

In her previous life, the Gu family was implicated in the imperial examination fraud case, which happened after she and Jiang Nansheng were granted marriage.

Her father found Jiang Nansheng without telling her, and it was he who managed to save Gu Jinhui's life, but he would not have the possibility of serving as an official in the future, and even her father was implicated.

This matter was accidentally revealed by the wife of the eldest son of the Jiang family after she married into the Jiang family.

Now the Gu family and the Jiang family are not in-laws, and no one demands anything from Jiang Nansheng anymore.

She would no longer be anyone's raft to achieve their dirty and ulterior motives.

Another team of Jinyiwei dressed in Feiyu uniforms walked past the two people. Gu Jinchu lowered his head and saw that the person leading them was Qin Lang.

Didn’t you say that the person is not in Shengjing?

"Tianqing is my book boy in the outer study. Many people know about this. If I were not very familiar with the two of you, I would not be able to tell you apart and find the flaws."

Jiang Nansheng stood beside her to block the scorching sunlight above his head, and waited until the Jinyiwei were out of sight before comforting her softly.

Gu Jinchu wore a navy blue straight gown and his hair was tied up high on his head with a crown. Tianqing was not like Jiang Fei and Jiang An who often went out. He was a thin young man with fair skin.

Her facial features were too bright and soft, so I used a slightly darker makeup powder to deepen her jawline and nose bridge, and made slight changes to her eyebrows and eyes in accordance with Tianqing's facial features.

The biggest change is that although Gu Jinchu is tall among women, she still looks a bit out of place when walking among men in men's clothes.

She asked the craftsmen of the Treasure Pavilion to make a pair of shoes overnight so that she could wear them and look superior to others.

Without speaking or extending his hands, he looks like a handsome young man.

"Thank you for your concern, Fifth Master. I will always remember to be by your side." Gu Jinchu said with his head down.

Today, a Fuso envoy came to pay homage, and according to custom, he was received and welcomed at Huitong Hall. That day, Jiang Nansheng noticed that she could understand Fuso language, and persuaded her to go with him.

Her uncle was at the border defending against foreign enemies, and she was just doing what she could. The only condition she agreed to do for Jiang Nansheng was that she must not reveal her identity.

After the great victory at Sanjiang Fort, the Emperor appointed my third uncle as the General of National Defense and granted him a general's mansion in Gu'an. This news will be announced to the world soon as the Fuso envoys come to the audience.

The unknown Zheng family will become popular. Gu Jinchu doesn't want to be in the spotlight at this time, especially now that the crown prince has not been decided in the court. The Zheng family will definitely become the target of several princes.

By then, the Gu family's in-laws will surely rise in power. Fortunately, a cheating case in the imperial examination broke out and the situation is unclear for the time being. I guess even if we take action, we have to wait until the dust settles.

Gu Jinchu could only make plans based on the situation.

Seeing the woman in palace dress walking towards her, she lowered her head and stood one step away from Jiang Nansheng.

It was the eldest princess Zhao Xuan. She was radiant and gorgeous in her gorgeous dress, and following beside her was Zuo Hongwen.
