[Martial Exam]
Su Liang bandaged Mu Fei’s wound and planned to write a prescription.
Just as she took out the writing materials from the medicine box Ning Jing had made with his own hands, he put down the Buddhist Scripture and reached out his hand.
Su Liang naturally handed over the paper and pen and explained to Mu Fei’s puzzled face, “My handwriting is ugly, and he dislikes it.”
Mu Fei: …
But Su Liang had already guessed whose handwriting Ning Jing had found for her and why he didn’t let her write in front of others.
Su Liang loved that book of handwriting and had put a lot of effort into practicing the characters, which have now become quite decent.
However, Ning Jing had used the papers she practiced on to start fires…
Even if Ning Jing had not stopped her, she would have changed her font when writing herself.
Su Liang recited, and Ning Jing wrote down the prescription, handing it to Chang’an.
“If you don’t trust me, you can ask another doctor to check.” Su Liang said.
The fourth prince had made sufficient preparations for his safety in his undercover mission.
Although such accidents could not be completely avoided now, even if Su Liang hadn’t been there, someone else would have treated Mu Fei.
Obviously, Mu Fei chose to let Su Liang treat him, firstly because his injury was not severe, and secondly, to take the opportunity to test Su Liang’s medical skills and attitude towards him, and also to highlight the purpose of his visit to Su Liang.
Ning Jing packed up the medicine box, carried it on his back, and showed no intention of sitting back down.
So Su Liang said goodbye, “If Sir Mu has no other orders, we’ll leave first.”
“Miss Su has worked hard. I will visit you to express my gratitude another day.
Chang’an, see them off.” Mu Fei leaned back on the bed, smiling and nodding. The weakness caused by the injury had reduced the cunning calculation in his eyes, revealing some warmth and kindness.
Through the half-open window, Mu Fei watched Su Liang and Ning Jing walk one after the other to the red maple tree and stop almost simultaneously.
After that, Ning Jing pointed to the reddest maple leaf at the top of the tree, and Su Liang quietly climbed up…
“What is she doing? Miss Su looks soft and weak, yet she can climb trees?” asked Chang’an, dumbfounded.
Mu Fei’s eyes widened in surprise, “After all, she lived in the mountain village for a year, and it’s not strange that she can climb trees. But there are no fruits on this tree.”
Watching Su Liang pick a few maple leaves and hand them to Ning Jing, Chang’an suddenly realized, “Prince Ning likes tree leaves, so Miss Su climbed up to pick them for him! They have such tacit understanding, they don’t even need to speak to know each other’s intentions!”
When his words fell, he didn’t hear a response from Mu Fei, so Chang’an turned his head and saw him withdrawing his gaze. Mu Fei then spoke with a hint of sarcasm, “It seems that I was too friendly with Su Liang? If I ignore her, will she fall in love with me instead?”Please visit 𝓃𝑜𝓋𝓮𝓁-𝒏𝑒xt.c0m website to read fastest update
Chang’an considered it seriously for a while and shook his head, “Master, Miss Su lives with Prince Ning, so even if he doesn’t talk to her, they see each other day and night. But if Master doesn’t actively seek Miss Su out, she won’t even see the master, let alone fall for him.”
Mu Fei’s forehead twitched, “That woman was talking nonsense just now. But it seems that she really likes Ning Jing. Do you think she can be useful to me?” “If Miss Su wants to avenge her family, she can only cooperate with Master to have a chance.” Chang’an said.
“Cooperate…” Mu Fei snorted, “So soon, you think she is capable of negotiating with me?”
Chang’an furrowed his brows, “Subordinate didn’t mean that, it’s just…”
Mu Fei shook his head, “No need to explain. Since Ning Jing told her about the sedatives earlier, she must have asked him about Su Yuanzhou’s family.” Chang’an froze, ‘Master means, she was pretending to be surprised just now?”
Ning Jing shook his head indicating it didn’t exist anymore.
“I see. I just don’t know who that rescued assassin is. If I fight with her, what are my chances of winning?” Su Liang asked. Ning Jing wrote, “Five.”
Su Liang also thought it was about the same.
The two of them completed another “task.” As it was getting late, they planned to return to the village early the next morning.
Before they reached the front door, they heard familiar wailing.
Old lady Niu and her family were kneeling in the alley, clearly begging them to save Su Xingzhe, refusing to get up until they agreed.
Su Liang and Ning Jing bypassed the back door, packed their things, and drove the carriage out of the county town back to the village.
The next day, Chang’an visited with a gift to say thanks. With no one answering the door, he learned from the neighbors that they had left the night before, so he went back to report.
Mu Fei didn’t understand why Ning Jing and Su Liang went back to the village. “Can it be that he doesn’t intend to go to Qianshan Academy? You should go there once and find out.”
It was only two months until the Provincial Exam; scholars going to Qianshan
Academy had to leave these days.
Su Family village.
Early in the morning, Su Liang got up to exercise, and after breakfast, she asked Ning Jing to practice with her.
During the break, Su Liang asked him, “If we practice until next March, do you think I have a chance to be in the top three of the Military Exam?”
Ning Jing nodded, “Do not slack off.”
Determined, Su Liang said, “Alright! Then please teach me well!”
Qian Country capital city.
Nian Jincheng opened the door to see Nian Ruxue standing outside, staring blankly at the old pine tree in the courtyard.
“Xuexue, are you looking for me?” Nian Jincheng asked.
Without turning her head, Nian Ruxue sighed softly, “The first time I saw him, he was standing under that tree.”
Nian Jincheng frowned, “Father has given up on forcing you to become the
Crown Prince’s Imperial Concubine, but you must forget about that man!”
“Second Brother, I have withdrawn the task from Yanyun Building.” Nian Ruxue turned around and looked at Nian Jincheng.
Nian Jincheng’s expression softened, and he sighed, “That’s good.”
“If I could withdraw it, it means that Yanyun Building hasn’t found him yet.” Nian Ruxue said.
Nian Jincheng’s expression became serious, “Xuexue! Even if you don’t enter the Crown Prince Mansion, you have no say in your marriage!”.
“I know.” Nian Ruxue gently nodded, a bitter smile flashing across her lips, “That’s why I came to see you, Second Brother. I have decided to participate in the Military Exam. If I can win the top place, I will ask the Emperor for the freedom to choose my own marriage.”
Nian Jincheng was stunned, “The Military Exam? Your martial arts skills are average, and it’s too late to start practicing now.”
“Second Brother, you can help me improve, can’t you? You were a Martial Arts
Champion in the last exam.” Nian Ruxue shook Nian Jincheng’s arm, “Second Brother, please, you don’t want me to be manipulated and marry someone you don’t like, do you?”
Nian Jincheng pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, “Alright. I’ll try my best. Regardless of the result of the Military Exam, you’ll still have some ability to protect yourself. But if you complain about the difficulty and fatigue, then forget it!”
“Don’t worry, Second Brother, I won’t. Since I want to do this, I must become the Martial Arts Champion!” Nian Ruxue’s eyes were filled with determination..
