Chapter 1769 Missing

In a blink of an eye, the test results were obtained, Changzhong did not look at the results, but turned to the articles he wrote a few days ago to re-understand.

Minghui looked towards the door from time to time, he wanted to know if the little uncle was at the top of the list.

The boy ran in, "Congratulations, young master, for winning the top spot."

After Minghui was happy, he hurriedly asked, "What about me, what about me?"

The boy was cheerful, "Young Master Minghui is third."

Minghui was satisfied, "Congratulations, uncle."

Changzhong was sure of everything in his heart, and he was still happy to get the letter, "Congratulations, let's have a good celebration today."

All the servants in the courtyard received silver rewards, and children from other clans came to congratulate them one after another. The children of the Zhou clan all passed the government examination, and the whole courtyard was beaming with joy.

After a while, the gift giver arrived, and Chang Zhong also refused politely.

Changzhong didn't need to wrong himself, he didn't see any outsiders today, but he accepted the post sent by him. He chose the prefect's post and went to the appointment tomorrow.

Minghui played with the post in his hand, "Little uncle is really going to the appointment!"

"Well, I sent posts twice, the first time I was busy with the government examination and didn't agree. Now that the government examination is over, I have to meet. No matter what the prefect thinks, the Zhou family will give it to Pingzhou."

Minghui, "I'll go tomorrow too."

"Naturally."

In the government office, the magistrate flipped through the article and said to his son, "Read the article by Mr. Zhou."

Cheng Xiang pursed his lips, "Father, I've already been selected as a scholar."

The magistrate stared angrily, "Don't think it's great to be a scholar, your scholar has stepped on the line, I ask you if you are sure about Qiu Wei?"

Cheng Xiang said dryly, "Half."

The magistrate became even more angry, "I won't be angry if you are stupid, why can't you work hard."

Cheng Xiang wished he could cover his ears, he had heard these words too much, "Father, Young Master Zhou has accepted the invitation, my son will go back and prepare first."

The magistrate watched his son run away, and then became even angrier. If there was not only one son, he would have left it alone, and his heart was even more sour when he looked at the article.

Capital, Zhouhou Mansion, Xuehan returned to her mother's house, Zhulan asked, "Did you see the queen in the palace yesterday?"

Xuehan nodded, "I see, most of my energy has gone from this illness, and my daughter saw that the empress has gray hair."

Zhulan, "White hair?"

Xuehan nodded, she thought she was dazzled at first, and after a few more glances, she confirmed that she was right, the queen was obviously much older after this illness.

Xuehan panicked, "My daughter has a bad feeling."

Especially when chatting with the queen, the queen's affection and attitude are more obvious to her.

Zhulan, "Your Majesty, are you feeling better?"

Xuehan was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty said it's much better."

Zhulan got the point, what did the queen say?

Xuehan sighed, "The second prince is about to get married, and then the third prince will be married."

Her intuition told her that the Empress might not survive this time.

Zhulan said: "This time the queen is seriously ill and I didn't hide it, the second prince should be worried now."

Seeing that they are about to get married, the Liu family and the second prince are most anxious now. The second prince has been dawdling in the Ministry of Rites until he gets married. Now the second prince sincerely hopes that the queen will be well.

Xuehan thought about it, "Princess Jingxuan is taking care of the queen."

Zhulan, "The princess is a good boy."

Xuehan likes Jing Xuan very much, she is not at ease, but seeing that the queen and Jing Xuan get along very well, she is completely at ease.

When going to bed at night, Zhulan and Shuren talked about the queen, Shuren said: "It's not just the second prince who is anxious."

"How do you say that?"

Zhou Shuren said: "There are quite a few people staring at the Prince's backyard. They have not entered because of the filial piety for the Supreme Emperor. It's finally the anniversary. The Empress has something to delay. Are you in a hurry?"

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

Indeed, one should be anxious, the best years of a girl in ancient times were only a few years, and she couldn't afford to delay it like this, the girl raised by the aristocratic family is not such a waste.

Zhou Shuren continued: "The emperor is in a bad mood."

Zhulan sighed, "It's different to marry a first wife. The emperor is not a womanizer. He has always respected his first wife all these years. The queen really has something wrong. The emperor is naturally sad."

The emperor is really sad, the imperial doctor changed the prescription several times and the effect is not obvious, the queen's body can't keep the effect of the medicine, and now she needs to drink medicine every day to break a meal.

The crown prince finally finished approving today's papers. He has been the one who has been reviewing papers for the past few days, and the royal father's thoughts are all on the queen mother.

The prince saw his father sitting silently, "Father, it's getting late, you should rest."

The emperor came back to his senses, "Is it finished?"

"Some uncertain sons were left alone."

The emperor got up and walked over to look at it, frowning for a while, then relaxed, picked up the pen to correct it again, and then pointed out what was wrong, "You have been in the punishment department for a while, go to the official department in a while."

Prince, "Yes."

The emperor said: "Go and rest."

The prince didn't move, "Father, you should also rest."

The emperor said he knew, and when his son left, he went back to the dormitory. Everyone likes to recall, these few days he likes to recall the days when he just got married, but unfortunately memories are memories after all.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Shuren smiled at everyone. He was embarrassed to inquire about the news, but he smiled the whole time without saying a word.

Several people in a row didn't find out anything, and they all gave up one after another. Zhouhou didn't want to say that he couldn't find any news.

There were also people who wanted to ask the Wen family, but unfortunately the empress was seriously ill and hadn't seen anyone from the Wen family, yes, no one, and the Wen family refused all the signs they offered to enter the palace.

The elder of the Wen family had an extremely stinky face, Zhou Shuren passed by and snorted heavily.

Zhou Shuren didn't hear it. The old man was very angry. He understood very well that it was embarrassing for the Wen family to see the queen's family.

Master Li moved the corners of his mouth, finally sighed and didn't step forward, he wasn't that shameless.

Although he is also anxious, the second prince has not been seen recently, and he is also afraid that the marriage will be postponed, and all the hard work for his daughter will be in vain.

In Chuanzhou, Changzhi came sooner rather than later. When he first entered Xiaoxi Village, he encountered debtors. Five or six strong men blocked the yard with menacing faces. Well, it was the family Changzhi wanted to visit.

The villagers probably got used to it, and although they were afraid, they watched from afar.

Chang Zhi got out of the carriage, and as soon as he reached the side of the villagers, he heard crying in the yard.

The old man in the village muttered, "Sin."

Changzhi asked, "Master, what happened here?"

The old man looked back, with a vigilant expression on his face, "You are unfamiliar."

Changzhi smiled, "I'm a scholar who travels around to study. When I passed by a village, I saw something happened, so I asked."

The old man heard that he was a scholar, and the vigilance in his eyes disappeared, "It was the Ding family who had the accident, and their family also had a scholar, but unfortunately the family borrowed interest after their fame was gone. Is this interest easy to borrow? , there is no money to make trouble every day, ouch, something is going to happen."

Speaking of the old man and the villagers walking towards Ding's house quickly, Changzhi also heard the crying.
