Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

Chapter 189 There is only one truth

Yi Luo Jiang Qingyan gently placed her on the bed, then pressed down on her, whispering in her ear, "Okay... I'll never let myself get hurt again, so my husband won't worry..."

After saying that, he kissed Jiang Qingyan's lips...

Jiang Qingyan stared at the incredibly alluring face before her, her heart fluttering. Soon, she was enveloped in his tenderness…

As they whispered in each other's ears, Jiang Qingyan clearly sensed that Yi Luo's movements seemed somewhat restrained, even cautious...

She gently kissed Yi Luo's Adam's apple, then turned and pinned him down, switching from defense to offense.

After a long while, Yi Luo and Jiang Qingyan finally closed their eyes contentedly and slowly fell asleep…

The next day at dawn, Yi Luo brought hot water for Jiang Qingyan and carefully wiped her body...

Jiang Qingyan looked at Yi Luo, who was looking very serious, with satisfaction and smiled, "My Yi Luo seems to have grown up suddenly. He has become less talkative and more careful in his work."

Yi Luo slightly curved her lips and said, "Does my husband like me as I am now?"

Jiang Qingyan stared into his eyes and said softly, "I like you, but I like the carefree you from before, the one who said whatever she wanted even more. In short, I want you to be happy."

Yi Luo paused slightly, looked up and met Jiang Qingyan's serious gaze, and murmured, "Husband, don't you blame me?"

Jiang Qingyan raised her hand and gently stroked the stray hairs on Yi Luo's forehead, saying calmly, "I have never blamed you."

Upon hearing this, Yi Luo's eyes trembled slightly. He pulled Jiang Qingyan into his arms and choked out, "Husband... I thought you would never forgive me..."

Although he saw her husband every day these days, he had never spoken to her.

He always felt guilty about almost causing Yuan Lie's death...

She even believed that in her husband's heart, he already regarded her as a vicious and jealous murderer...

Jiang Qingyan gently stroked Yi Luo's back and said softly, "Baby, why would you think that? The men I personally chose are naturally all of excellent appearance and character. You are so wonderful, how could I bear to blame you?"

Yi Luo hugged Jiang Qingyan tightly around the waist, wishing she could tell her all the longing she had felt over the past few days in one breath.

But it was getting late, and Mo Ting and Lu Nian were already urging them on from outside the hall.

Yi Luo reluctantly released Jiang Qingyan's waist, murmuring, "Husband... you should go to court now... see you at breakfast..."

Jiang Qingyan smiled and gave him a deep kiss on the lips before getting up and leaving.

When Jiang Qingyan opened the door, Lu Nian glanced at Yi Luo, who was beaming with joy, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

He hadn't seen Yi Luo this happy in a long time...

Mo Ting took Jiang Qingyan's hand and said softly, "Husband, it's getting late, let's go to court quickly."

Jiang Qingyan nodded and said, "Thank you, Mo Ting."

Mo Ting simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

He knew perfectly well why his husband had suddenly thanked him; it was simply because he hadn't stopped Yi Luo from sleeping with him last night…

He had also noticed the changes in Yi Luo these days. The once lively and cheerful boy had suddenly become cautious and taciturn.

Anyone who sees this will feel a pang of pity...

During the morning court session, a Grand Secretary from the Hanlin Academy stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, last night all the candidates for the imperial examinations suddenly fell ill, and even the imperial physicians were helpless. I'm afraid the palace examination in two days cannot be held as scheduled..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan frowned and asked, "What's going on? How come everyone got sick overnight? What illness did they have? Poisoning?"

The Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy sighed, "Even the imperial physicians can't figure out what's wrong, nor are they sure if their symptoms are caused by poisoning..."

Jiang Qingyan stroked her chin and muttered, "How strange. They didn't get sick earlier or later, but they fell ill right before the palace examination... Could it be that someone didn't want them to enter the palace to take the exam?"

Mo Ting narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where are those scholars now?"

The Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy quickly replied, "Your Majesty, the scholars are all staying at the Jinfu Inn in the city."

Mo Ting nodded and said, "I will accompany you to the inn to visit them later."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan quickly grabbed Mo Ting's hand and said, "Me too! Take me with you!"

Mo Ting nodded helplessly and said, "Okay... I'll take you with me..."

After the morning court session, Mo Ting and Jiang Qingyan left the palace with the Grand Academician of the Hanlin Academy and went to the Jin Fu Inn.

Lu Nian had followed them without anyone noticing, and he brought Lv Yao with him. It wasn't until they entered the inn that Jiang Qingyan saw them.

Seeing that Lvyao was carrying a small medicine box, Jiang Qingyan couldn't help but praise Lu Nian, "As expected of my man! He's so thoughtful! He even knew to bring Lvyao along!"

Lu Nian chuckled and said, "Since even the imperial physicians are helpless, I suppose only the green medicine can cure this illness."

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Qingyan said mysteriously, "Green Medicine, find a place to hide first. After the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy leaves, sneak in and check on the candidates' conditions. Remember, don't let anyone find out!"

Green Medicine nodded and quickly hid in a corner, quietly observing the situation.

Led by a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, the group entered the rooms of the successful candidates in turn.

Their symptoms were all the same: they were unconscious, pale, as if asleep, yet also as if dead…

Upon entering the room of the last scholar, Jiang Qingyan couldn't help but widen her eyes and exclaim, "Holy crap! Finally, I see a handsome one!"

Although the scholar's eyes were closed, the contours of his face were clearly visible, with sharp features, making him quite handsome...

Coupled with his bloodless, deathly pale face, he resembled a vampire from a play, exuding an eerie and sinister charm...

Mo Ting glanced at the scholar's face, her heart sinking slightly. Her husband's insistence on coming along today was indeed to find a handsome man…

Jiang Qingyan stroked her chin, looking the scholar up and down, and nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad physique either, must be quite strong in that area..."

Mo Ting sighed and rubbed his forehead, then coughed lightly and said, "Husband, don't forget why we came here today..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan immediately snapped out of her daze, awkwardly tugging at the corners of her mouth, "Ah ha... ha... I was just saying it casually... thinking if I could stimulate him to wake up... it's called stimulation therapy... oh right... stimulation therapy!"

Mo Ting shook his head helplessly, then looked at the Hanlin Academy scholar who was standing to the side, equally speechless and gazing at the sky, and asked, "Have you interrogated the innkeeper and the staff?"

The Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy nodded hurriedly and said, "We have interrogated them one by one. They did not leave the house yesterday, and the meals they ate were the same as those served at the inn. The other guests staying at the inn are also fine, only the candidates are sick."

Jiang Qingyan placed her index finger on the bridge of her nose, squinted, and said, "There's only one truth!"
