Chapter 651 Trespassing
Yan Shu teased, "You're going to enter the examination room tomorrow, but you're not nervous at all."
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "Ten years of hard study won't make a difference in a little while. By the way, what's the grudge between you and Su Qingqing?"
Yan Shu was silent for a moment: "Do you remember Yan Yao?"
Jiang Ci remembered a lot of things in the past three months in the form of dreams, and naturally he also remembered Yan Yao, the so-called heroine of the world. He had personally destroyed Yan Yao's appearance, cut her tendons in her hands and feet, and imprisoned her in the dark dungeon of Xuan Zongmen. She eventually committed suicide because she could not bear the pain.
Seeing Jiang Ci remained silent, Yan Shu tapped his forehead and said, "You have lost your memory, so you naturally can't remember Yan Yao. She is my uncle's daughter. This matter is a bit complicated..."
"I remember."
Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, then he looked at him with wide eyes: "You remember everything?"
Jiang Ci chuckled, grabbed her hips with both hands and lifted her up from the table. Yan Shu gasped softly and subconsciously tightened her thighs around his lean and strong waist, wrapping around him like a sloth. Jiang Ci raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, and carried her to a chair beside him and sat down.
Yan Shu sat on his lap, and the postures of the two were really ambiguous.
She wanted to get off him, but the big hand on her waist pushed her back hard.
Jiang Ci said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Be good, let me hold you for a while."
Meeting Jiang Ci's pleading gaze, Yan Shu's heart softened and he stopped moving.
"Do you really remember everything that happened in the past?"
"I remembered most of it. I remember Yan Yao committed suicide, didn't she?"
"Then do you remember Yan Yao said that she is the heroine of this world?"
Jiang Ci said: "I remember, she also said that she was born with the fate of a phoenix. Later, I destroyed her appearance and threw her into the dungeon of Xuanzong Sect. Not long after, she committed suicide. Do you mean that Su Qingqing is Yan Yao?"
Yan Shu nodded in appreciation. He was indeed a smart man who understood things quickly.
Jiang Ci sneered, "I thought she was talking nonsense before, but now it seems that she really has some abilities. People in the capital say that Su Qingqing can predict good and bad luck, and she has used this skill to help the Ministry of Justice solve several cases. It can be seen that her foresight is indeed accurate. Now that she has entered the Rui Palace, did she know in advance that Ye Lanxuan would be the emperor in the future?"
Jiang Ci's eyes grew colder and darker. Ye Lanxuan lacked strategy and was impulsive and irritable. He had never regarded Ye Lanxuan as an enemy. His enemies had always been the entire Zhao family and the man sitting on the throne. Once the Zhao family and the old emperor were dealt with, Ye Lanxuan would just be a vassal that would be dealt with by the way.
Jiang Ci was filled with disdain. How could he possibly lose to such a cowardly and unwise person?
Seeing a gloomy look on Jiang Ci's face, Yan Shu reached out and held his hand.
"I once read a book. The heroine in this book is named Yan Yao. The whole book tells the story of an ordinary peasant girl who accidentally saved a seriously injured prince. Just like those popular picture books on the market, the prince fell in love with the peasant girl whose status was much different from his. As the heroine of this book, this peasant girl has the aura of a heroine. In the end, she used her aura to help the prince suppress the rebels, eliminate dissidents and help him ascend the throne. In the end, this heroine became a virtuous queen."
Jiang Ci sneered inwardly. This explained why Ye Lanxuan, who was inferior to him in every way, finally ascended to the throne. It turned out that this world was just a picture book. What a ridiculous truth.
After a long silence, Jiang Ci looked at Yan Shu with deep affection in his eyes: "I never believed in fate before, but after meeting you, I began to be afraid, afraid that one day God would take you away. Now that I think about it, if I really lose to fate in the end, I hope you can leave safely."
Yan Shu felt heartbroken and she gently held Jiang Ci's face.
"Do you want to know what the ending of Yan Shu was in the original book? She did something that hurt you greatly, and eventually died in your hands. That's why when I first came here, I was so cautious in gaining your favor and trust, with the purpose of changing the original ending. In fact, I did change my own fate, and also changed the ending of everyone in the Yan family and you. Master Hongyi said that there is no exactly the same leaf in the world. After I accidentally came to this world, everything that happened has deviated from the plot track of the original book, so there is no destined heroine now. I believe that with your ability, Ye Lanxuan will eventually be defeated by you."
Jiang Ci's chaotic and gloomy mood gradually calmed down because of Yan Shu's words. He smiled and stretched out his hand to touch her delicate cheek.
"You trust me so much?"
Yan Shu smiled and said, "I once said that I came to help you with a mission."
Jiang Ci nodded firmly, "The little fairy in the sky must always stay by my side and protect me."
Yan Shu patted his head and said, "I will take you to the Imperial Examination Hall tomorrow."
Jiang Ci raised his head, his eyes shining as brightly as stars.
"it is good."

Yong'an Marquis Mansion
The eldest princess Ronghua was dressed in a plain blue-gray dress, without any hair accessories on her bun. She sat cross-legged in the Buddhist temple, meditating on the Buddha. She lacked her usual elegance and solemnity, and looked more simple and indifferent.
These days are the anniversary of the late emperor's death. Every year on the anniversary of the late emperor's death, the eldest princess would purify herself and fast for three days in the Buddhist temple to commemorate the late emperor with a sincere and filial heart.
Wei Xianzhi strode towards this side with a cold face. The guards on duty at the door were quite surprised to see the Marquis coming. In previous years, when the Grand Princess stayed in the Buddhist temple for a few days, the Marquis never came to disturb her.
"Master Hou."
"I want to see the princess!"
The guard said, "It is not convenient for the princess to see you now. Please come over tomorrow when the princess comes out of the Buddhist temple."
Wei Xianzhi said coldly: "I have something important to discuss with the princess and can't wait any longer. Get out of the way!"
Seeing that Wei Xianzhi was about to force his way in, two guards reached out to block his way.
"My Lord, please don't make things difficult for me. The princess has told me not to see anyone these days."
Wei Xianzhi looked towards the Buddhist hall with an expressionless face. From the huge Buddhist hall came the sounds of Buddhist music and the beating of wooden fish.
"If the princess has any accusations, I will bear all the consequences. I must see the princess today!"
Without waiting for the two guards to speak, Wei Xianzhi shouted to the secret guards following behind him: "Stop them."
"Yes!"
The two secret guards immediately flew forward and tried to stop the two guards of the Grand Princess. The two guards were both confidants of the Grand Princess and had to do what the princess told them to do. However, the intruder was the Grand Princess's consort and they could not hurt the Marquis too badly, yet they had to block his way, which made it very difficult for them.
Wei Xianzhi took advantage of the fight between his secret guards and the guards and rushed into the Buddhist hall.
The eldest princess had heard the noise outside a long time ago. The reason she did not speak out to stop it was that she wanted to see what her husband was trying to do.
The footsteps approached, the sound of the wooden fish stopped abruptly, and the eldest princess slowly opened her eyes.
Wei Xianzhi stood at the door, staring at her with cold eyes. The look between the couple no longer had the love and affection they had in the past.
