The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

It was a sunny spring day.

After receiving the news, He Hui tried on clothes at home for a long time. After getting dressed, she went to wait outside the Dali Temple Prison.

The spring is bright and everything in the world is looking good.

Under the vigorous plaque hanging on the high gate, the iron gate opened slightly, and two jailers came out first. Wei Zheng walked in the middle with shackles still on his wrists. After walking out of the door, Wei Zheng saw He Hui standing in the spring sun, smiled at her, and the jailer beside him undid the shackles and let her go.

"Cough cough!"

His clothes were thin, and the sun suddenly hit him through the spring scenery, making him feel a little weak. He just coughed twice, and He Hui came over quickly.

"Is your health still serious?"

Wei Zheng smiled, took her wrist and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said, "It's okay."

The woman's face turned slightly red, and she wanted to push him away with her hands, but he was so thin and weak, so she could only let him hold her.

"Now that you're out, do you want me to call a doctor?" He Hui didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, but no matter what, health is the most important thing.

The man finally let her go, but still put a weak hand on her shoulder, half of his body weight pressing on her, and smiled, "I'm fine now, Miss He, just don't worry."

Wei Zheng raised his hand and touched his nose, feeling a little guilty. If he really asked her to call a doctor, wouldn't everything be exposed?

His former guards had gone to who knows where, and today no one was waiting for him outside. He Hui slowly helped the people to leave.

In her eyes, Wei Zheng is no longer as high-spirited as before. Upon learning that his mother was killed by his father and step-wife, the young boy actually killed his father with his own hands, risking his life to kill someone and went to jail.

Without the title of prince, he is just an ordinary young man.

Thinking of this, He Hui pursed her lips slightly, and a smile appeared on her fair face. "We made a new dish today. Mother knew that you were going out today, so she went to the restaurant to buy a roast duck. Do you want to go and try it?"

The young man was blinded by the wind, and he tilted his head to smile at her, "Then I'd better obey your command..."

The people hiding in the dark at the corner watched the two of them leave. Only silence remained. Someone bowed to the person in front and said, "My lord, do you want me to check on that girl?"

King Dongzhi sighed softly, "No wonder he doesn't want to have anything to do with me, it turns out he already has a beautiful woman in Kyoto..."

Then he waved his hand and several people retreated.

He still had some impression of the girl in his mind. When he first came to this prison, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the girl coming out with a bamboo basket, with her head lowered and her face pleasing to the eye. Today he ran into them leaving together again, behaving so intimately that he didn't believe that they had an ordinary relationship.

Inside a house.

He's parents were already waiting in the dining room. As the old saying goes, being content is the most important thing in life.

They had set the table and chopsticks, and just then they saw some movement outside the courtyard. He Hui supported Wei Zheng in and bowed slightly, saying, "Father and mother, this is the young master Wei who I mentioned before and who has saved me many times."

He's father also came over to lend a hand. Wei Zheng bowed and said politely, "Junior greets uncle and aunt."

"Oh, don't stand anymore. Mr. He is still injured. Don't let him stand." He's mother asked everyone to sit down.

The small dining room is filled with the warm atmosphere of everyday life.

-

On the second day after Wei Zheng was released, Ning Rongzhang was demoted and an imperial edict was posted to announce the list of candidates for the palace examination.

First place in the first class, Lu Shi

First Class 2nd Place, Runner-up Wei Zheng

The third place in the first class, Pei Yan

...

Once the imperial edict was posted, some people were happy and some were sad. The aristocratic families looked at the top three on the list and felt so angry that their teeth itched.

Qi Fengyuan, who had won the first place in the earlier imperial examination, had long been missing and was probably outside the top three.

The Qin family patriarch slammed the table, and the two servants beside him pushed Qi Fengyuan in. The Qin family patriarch scolded him, "Qi Fengyuan, how dare you play tricks on me?!"

Qi Fengyuan was beaten and kicked by several servants. He cried and begged for mercy, "Master, I am wronged. I was the first in the examination! How could I fail?!"

The Qin family head pointed at himself, his face red with anger, walked down a few steps, and kicked Qi Fengyuan fiercely, "How dare you say that?! If I didn't see that you have great potential and a bright future, do you think I would want to marry my daughter to you?!"

After being hit twice more, Qi Fengyuan's mouth was bleeding, and his eye sockets, nose bridge, and forehead were all swollen and bruised.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

“Wuwuwu—Father!” The crying woman rushed over and opened her arms to block Qi Fengyuan, “Father, don’t do it!”

The head of the Qin family looked at his youngest daughter Qin Yuyan, snorted coldly, pulled out a whip from behind his back, and said with wide eyes, "Get out of the way! I will beat him to death today!"

Qin Yuyan shook her head and cried miserably, "It's not all Qi Lang's fault that he failed the palace examination. Father, don't you think that maybe the regent knew about Qi Lang's relationship with our family a long time ago, so he deliberately suppressed Qi Lang..."

Qi Fengyuan was beaten so badly that his whole body was bruised. He hid behind Qin Yuyan and dared not come out.

The Qin family's patriarch was very angry, "So, you blame your father for taking him off the water?"

Qin Yuyan shook her head, wiped away her tears, and looked up and said, "My father has already promised to marry me to Qi Lang. Now he is my husband. I still understand the principle of sharing weal and woe."

"Nonsense! What I meant was that I would promise you to him once he passed the imperial examination. Since he didn't make it into the top three, I naturally have to take back my words." The Qin family patriarch took a deep breath and finally softened his tone, saying, "Yuyan, go back first. I'll choose a good husband for you among the Jinshi candidates, and then you can just wait to get married."

With so many top three Jinshi, and the Qin family being one of the best in Kyoto, would the daughter of the Qin family still worry about not being able to find a suitable husband?

Qin Yuyan's breath was choked, and she was silent for two breaths. Then she burst into tears even more intensely, "But father - I already have Qi Lang's flesh and blood in my belly -"

As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the Qin family turned pale, his eyes rolled back, and he almost died of anger.

Fortunately, the two servants beside him were quick to help their master up, "Come, call the doctor! The master has fainted!"

Some are happy and some are sad.

Inside the treasure pavilion in the city.

Wei Zheng specially asked someone out today and took away a jade hairpin that he had set his eyes on a long time ago from the Treasure Pavilion. The jade hairpin matches the beautiful woman perfectly.
