Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the end, MO Ruyue was escorted out of the palace by Imperial Concubine Li’s nanny. This scene shocked everyone in the palace.
However, during these seven days, the people in the palace had heard a lot about MO Ruyue. Not only was this person skilled in medicine, but she was also doted on by the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine.
On the way out of the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs who knew MO Ruyue greeted her when they saw her.
The nanny wanted to send MO Ruyue out of the palace gate, but MO Ruyue told her to hurry back and take care of the Imperial Concubine.
The little palace maid took her out of the palace.
MO Ruyue saw a familiar figure as soon as she arrived at the palace gate.
Gu Ying had been waiting at the palace gate since morning, afraid that if MO Ruyue didn’t come out today, there would be more changes.
He saw that there were many eunuchs following behind MO Ruyue, carrying various brocade boxes and many carrying cloth. He knew that these were rewards for MO Ruyue from the palace.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw these things. The fact that MO Ruyue had received such a generous reward meant that she had been living quite well in the palace these past few days.
The eunuchs followed MO Ruyue’s instructions and placed all the items in the carriage beside Gu Ying. However, they did not put them down and called for another carriage.
Gu Ying did not say anything to MO Ruyue as there were too many people on the road.
When they arrived at the Xue Family Bodyguard Agency, Gu Ying beckoned for two people to help him unload the things on the carriage.
“You rest, we’ll do it.”
“Are you doing well in the palace? Is anyone making things difficult for you?”
“Look at me, I brought two carriages of things back. Does it look like someone is making things difficult for me?
“Yes, our MO Ruyue is the best!”
MO Ruyue was a little embarrassed by Gu Ying’s sudden child-like praise.
“Have you sent a letter to your family?”
“I still have to wait for more than twenty days before I can go home. Why don’t you go back first?”
“You don’t have to worry about these things at home. You’re still worried with Little Feiqing and the others at home. Qinger has gone to live at home.”
“What? That Hua Jianan must be running home every day. I’ve really troubled them. I’ll definitely bring them a few more gifts when I get back.”
“Alright, I’ll go with you.”
“Take this month as a vacation in the capital. When you’re free, I’ll bring you to Xiangguo Temple.”
“We can even make it in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival here. It will definitely be very lively this year.”
MO Ruyue wanted to say that she didn’t like crowded places. However, it wasn’t easy for her to come here, and she probably wouldn’t come back again in the future. It was not a bad idea to go and take a look.
They packed up their things. It was already dark outside. It was time to rest after having dinner and washing up.
After Gu Ying finished packing, MO Ruyue had already gone to bed.
It seemed that he would not be able to confess tonight.
The next morning, MO Ruyue had just woken up and washed up when another eunuch came over.
When the eunuch saw MO Ruyue, he smiled and opened the imperial edict in his hand.
“By the Emperor’s decree. MO Ruyue had saved the Emperor twice, and now she had saved Imperial Concubine Li and her son. All of this was because of MO Ruyue’s excellent medical skills. MO Ruyue was kind-hearted and benevolent, saving the people from suffering. She always let those who were tortured by illness and fell into darkness see a trace of gentle moonlight. Therefore, MO Ruyue was specially named Princess Ming Yue!”
“Lianshan County will be Princess Ming Yue’s food city. I hope Princess Ming Yues medical skills will improve and benefit more people!’
MO Ruyue was stunned. The surprise made her dizzy.
Gu Ying was also stunned, and everyone from the Xue Family Bodyguard Agency was even more stunned.
The eunuch held the imperial edict and waited for a long time, but MO Ruyue still did not receive it. Seeing that she looked a little lost, he knew that she must have been overwhelmed by surprise. He hurriedly took a small step forward and gently said, “Princess Ming Yue, please accept the decree.”
MO Ruyue came back to her senses and hurriedly raised her hands above her head to receive the imperial edict.
“Thank you, Emperor. Long live, Emperor!”
The eunuch smiled at MO Ruyue, thinking that she would be the favorite of the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine in the future. Even if he couldn’t curry favor with her, he definitely couldn’t offend her.
“Princess Ming Yue, this servant will take his leave.”
“Eunuch, stay for a meal before you leave.”
He had given her an imperial edict to reward her. No matter what, she had to ask him to stay for a meal and a cup of tea, right?
This was also MO Ruyue’s habitual phrase.
“This servant thanks Princess Ming Yue for her kind treatment, but this servant still has to rush back to the palace to report to the Emperor. I’m afraid that this servant will have to disappoint Princess Ming Yue.”
“Oh, it’s fine. Then you should hurry back and report to the Emperor. Help me thank the Emperor.”
“This servant will obey.”
Just as the eunuch was leaving, Gu Ying stepped forward and stuffed a large banknote into the eunuch’s hand.
The eunuchs were used to doing such work. Moreover, this kind of joyous task, everyone would fight to the death for the sake of giving tips.
The eunuch happily accepted it.
“Thank you, Xue Zhuangyuan. This servant will take his leave.”
After the eunuch left, MO Ruyue stared at Gu Ying with wide eyes, and Gu Ying stared at MO Ruyue with wide eyes.
Their identities had changed, so they entered the house and sat down.
MO Ruyue was still holding the imperial edict in her hand, but she did not know where to put it. It seemed like she had to go back to the village and worship it at home.
She looked at Gu Ying. “You go first.”
“That’s right. Just as you’ve heard, I was the top scorer of this year’s exam. However, because I can’t stay in the capital to be an official, I can’t go out to work either, so I retreated to the second place.”
Gu Ying answered honestly.
“Why don’t you become an official?”
“Then what kind of scientific examination are you doing?
When MO Ruyue heard that Gu Ying was the top scorer in the examination, but he had retreated to the second place, she was so angry that she smashed the table. She remembered that it was an imperial edict in her hand and quickly picked it up again. Fortunately, there was no one from the palace here.
“For you.”
Gu Ying continued MO Ruyue’s words and said these words naturally. After he finished speaking, he looked at MO Ruyue nervously.
MO Ruyue…
She looked at Gu Ying’s serious eyes and realized that he was not lying. Was this guy serious?
Finished?
This guy couldn’t have fallen in love with me, right?
What should she do? What if he wanted to pursue her? How could she reject him?
Seeing that MO Ruyue did not seem to understand, Gu Ying took a deep breath.
He could not retreat.
“I took the scholar exam for you, I took the top scholar exam for you, and I didn’t become an official for you.” “Because you don’t like those things.”
“Really. For me?
“Why are you so silly? What does it matter if I like it or not?”
“You’re not me. You can’t go to the battlefield with your legs. Isn’t it good to become a civil servant after getting the top scholar?”
“This is something that will bring glory to the family. Why would you give up on it for me?
No matter how slow MO Ruyue was, she had some understanding in her heart. However, she did not dare to think in that direction. Their relationship could not develop to that extent.
“I like you.”
“Congratulations, Eldest Young Master.”
A group of people came in from outside. They were all from the Xue Family
Bodyguard Agency. They were used to calling Gu Ying Eldest Young Master.
They had just gone on a escort trip and had come back with such great news. Their Eldest Young Master had actually come back with a second-place score. How could they not be happy?
If Master and Madam knew, they could rest in peace.
However, they had just returned and saw a beautiful woman sitting opposite the Eldest Young Master in the room. The atmosphere between the two of them seemed a little off, and it seemed that they had come at the wrong time. “Young Master, if you have something to do, continue. We’re just passing by.”
“Let’s go.”
There were still many people outside who continued to squeeze over, but they were directly blocked by the person in the lead. He even whispered to them to leave and kept signaling them with his eyes..
