Chapter 310 Double Happiness
When Chu Ning'an and Ru Yue slowly walked out of the mysterious invisible door, the eyes of everyone present were instantly focused on them.
Marquis Wu'an completely ignored the gazes of the people around him, and rushed forward like a child, hugging Chu Ning'an tightly, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
His excitement was several times greater than when he first saw Chu Ning'an in the courtyard. If the previous loss and recovery was considered an unexpected joy, then this loss and recovery after gaining it was truly double the joy.
This joy was beyond words, making it difficult for the usually dignified and solemn marquis to control himself.
When everyone learned that Chu Ning'an and Ru Yue had obtained the extremely precious Wangchuan vine safely, everyone's face showed joy.
They finally completed their mission successfully and could return to Beijing to report to the emperor at the court.
If you count carefully, seven full days have passed since they left the capital.
During this period, no one knew how serious the Queen Mother's illness had developed.
You know, the physical condition of the royal nobles cannot tolerate any negligence!
The crowd galloped along the way and encountered several waves of pursuers on the way. Fortunately, Wu'an Hou had reserved a backup plan. There were actually more than 200 people following them secretly. Needless to say, it was dangerous. They didn't even stop. They just said that they would leave someone alive and then galloped away. However, those people were all trained death warriors. When they saw that there was no hope of victory, they committed suicide by taking poison. After several battles, they didn't leave a single person alive.
Faced with these extremely dangerous attacks, the crowd did not panic. On the contrary, they did not even pause for a moment, simply saying "make sure to leave someone alive" and continued to rush forward at lightning speed.
Unfortunately, the enemies who came to hunt him down were all carefully trained assassins.
Once they realized that there was no hope of winning, they chose to commit suicide by taking poison without hesitation. Although the two sides had experienced several fierce confrontations, they ultimately failed to leave even a single person alive.
Ru Yue couldn't help but secretly admire Wu An Hou in her heart. Although his life was miserable on weekdays, it was undeniable that he had extraordinary strategies in leading troops in battle!
As the saying goes, no gold is pure, and no one is perfect. Even so, overall, the Marquis of Wu'an can definitely be considered a pretty good person.
Three days later, Marquis Wu'an led his men back to the capital without stopping to report to the emperor.
Ru Yue plunged into the complicated and tedious work of refining medicine.
After a busy and intense operation, Ru Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief - all her efforts were not in vain, and everything was completed smoothly as she expected!
Three hours after taking the antidote, the Queen Mother finally slowly opened her eyes and woke up completely.
This victor who had experienced countless harem struggles, even when he learned that he had been in a coma for more than ten days and even almost lost his life, he still showed extraordinary calmness and composure.
When she heard that it was Ru Yue who risked her life to collect herbs and carefully refined the elixir to pull her back from the brink of death, she was deeply touched.
The Queen Mother's gratitude to Ru Yue was beyond words. Not only did she generously reward Ru Yue with countless rare treasures, she also specially instructed Emperor Mingde to issue an imperial decree, conferring the title of the extremely noble Princess Xihe on Ru Yue, and granting her a fiefdom and generous fiefdom.
The city was packed with powerful people, and the news quickly spread to the aristocratic families. Except for a few families who were on good terms with Ru Yue and knew who Meng Ru Yue was, this name was unfamiliar to most people, and they were even more puzzled by the sudden appearance of such a person in the capital.
The atmosphere in the backyard of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion was suffocatingly depressing.
In the backyard of Marquis Wu'an's mansion, Chen's house arrest had not yet been lifted, but this did not prevent her from knowing about Ru Yue's first reward. She smashed everything in the room in a rage, but still couldn't suppress the frustration in her heart. How could this little bastard Chu Ning'an be so lucky that he could marry a country girl and be the first to be awarded the title of princess.
She would never allow anyone to block Chen'er's way. The title of Marquis Wu'an belongs to Chen'er, and so does the entire Marquis Wu'an Mansion. Whoever blocks Chen'er's way will die.
Chen's once beautiful eyes became sinister and vicious, like two venomous snakes waiting for their chance to strike, emitting a cold and sharp light. It seemed as if a single glance from her could put any enemy who stood in her way to death.
This look of resentment and determination makes people shudder, as if foreshadowing the coming of a bloody storm...
The news of Meng Ruyue being conferred the title of Princess had just spread, and before the major mansions had time to come and offer their congratulations, the palace examination list was also announced.
Previous palace examinations were spectacular! The top three candidates were all dazzling and highly anticipated. The third place winner, in particular, often stole the spotlight from the top scholar with his exceptional talent and dashing looks. But this year was completely different. This year's top scholar stood out from the crowd, his overwhelming dominance causing a sensation throughout the capital.
The newly-crowned Jinshi rode his horse in a parade through the streets, and the crowd erupted in cheers and applause. The number one scholar undoubtedly became the focus of the whole audience.
He wore a bright red top-ranking scholar robe and a black gauze hat with golden flowers. His face was as white as jade, his eyes as bright as stars, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and his otherworldly aura, as if he had stepped from a fairyland. His talent far surpassed that of the other candidates, and his appearance was like that of an immortal, leaving others far behind. Furthermore, his prominent family background only added to his dazzling aura.
The restaurant facing the street was crowded with people, and many noble ladies were standing by the windows.
Their beautiful eyes moved, staring intently at the parade slowly moving forward not far away, their eyes full of eager desire.
These noble ladies held their carefully embroidered purses tightly in their hands, secretly hoping to attract the attention of the top scholar.
Rumors had long circulated that this newly crowned number one scholar was a man of elegant demeanor and grace, and that he came from a prominent family. How could such an outstanding man not excite the hearts of many women, hoping to gain his favor?
Passerby A lowered his voice with a mysterious look on his face and said, "Have you heard? This year's top scholar is the long-lost prince of the Marquis of Wu'an!"
Passerby B's eyes widened, and he responded in surprise, "What's that? I heard that Prince Wei not only won the top spot in the imperial examination, but also won the top three places! This has never happened before. Even a commoner can be so impressive. What kind of lady from a noble family can be worthy of him?"
Passerby C came over and interjected, "Oh my, you don't know this! My second uncle's brother-in-law's cousin's third aunt revealed that the woman just named Princess Xihe is none other than Prince Wei's fiancée! This is truly a match made in heaven!"
......
People around gathered around and discussed this shocking news.
Some people marveled at the talent of Prince Wei, who was able to achieve such extraordinary achievements even though he was living among the common people; some were curious about what kind of person Princess Xihe was to be a match for Prince Wei; others began to speculate about how happy their married life would be... For a time, the streets and alleys were filled with all kinds of rumors about Prince Wei and Princess Xihe, and they became a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.
Chu Ning'an's bright red champion robe made him look even more elegant and refined, attracting the hearts of many noble ladies.
Well-informed sources heard that the rumored Princess Xihe was actually just a medical woman from the countryside! She had no prominent family background to support her, nor did she have a deep background to rely on.
Everyone thought to themselves: How could a prestigious family like the Wu'an Marquisate so easily allow such a humble country girl to enter their home? In this case, wouldn't these ladies from aristocratic families still have a chance to capture Chu Ning'an's heart?
There is a constant stream of traffic in front of Tongren Medical Clinic, and it is extremely lively and bustling. It can be said that it is packed with people.
Several families close to Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an had already heard the news and couldn't wait to come and offer their congratulations. After all, this wasn't just about Chu Ning'an winning the top spot in the imperial examination; more importantly, he had also been conferred the title of Princess. This was undoubtedly a double blessing!
If those who had fantasies and wild thoughts about Chu Ning'an knew that even the steward of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion had brought rich and valuable gifts to congratulate them, I'm afraid the romantic thoughts in their hearts would be involuntarily restrained.
