Chapter 96 Wei Shu was detained

"The provincial examination is over, all candidates please leave the examination room in an orderly manner."

Zuo Weiyue and Lou Huai stood outside early in the morning waiting for Wei Shu to come out. After hearing this voice, they followed the crowd and stood aside, eagerly looking forward to seeing the candidates coming out one after another.

But they waited for a long time and still didn't wait for Wei Shu to come out, which was a bit strange.

Because during the period when the Gongyuan is conducting the provincial examination, outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Zuo Weiyue watched as nearly two quarters of an hour passed, and the candidates who came out of the room had almost finished walking without seeing Wei Shu's figure. Worried, she approached Lou Huai's ear and asked him, otherwise she would go in and look for him.

"If something unexpected happens to Wei Shu, I have recovered some magic power now, so I can help. If it doesn't work, I will pull the red traction cord on my wrist. Once you notice it, take Lou Wan in."

As soon as Zuo Weiyue said this in a low voice, she heard Lou Wan ask worriedly: "Master, is Mr. Wei running into some trouble? Do you need my subordinates to think of a way to go in and check out the situation?"

Lou Huai shook his head and finally accepted Zuo Weiyue's opinion.

After all, she couldn't be seen by others, so it was obviously more convenient to go in and find Wei Shu.

With Lou Huai's statement, Zuo Weiyue tightened the fox fur cloak on her shoulders and walked in from the side with less traffic.

Because the Gongyuan Courtyard was located in the Sicheng Lord's Mansion in the City of Eternal Cold, Zuo Weiyue had been here a few times, so she quickly found the examination room area where the candidates had been staying.

After a quick glance, the wooden doors of the examination rooms were all wide open. Many servants had already gone in to clean up, but no trace of Wei Shu was seen.

So if Wei Shu was not in the examination room, it is only possible. Who invited him away?

Thinking of this possibility, Zuo Weiyue looked around, trying to find the most guarded place in the Gongyuan.

But the rooms that came into view seemed to have similar specifications, and the guards were helping to clean up the environment of the examination room. Standing outside, she couldn't tell where the guards were the most strict.

The snow was falling heavier at this time. Zuo Weiyue took a breath of hot air and put on her hood. She could only think about walking around to see if she could find Wei Shu.

Not long after walking along the gravel road covered with a thin layer of snow, Zuo Weiyue saw a familiar figure although she didn't see Wei Shu.

Isn't that man who is dressed very bohemianly and has a bit of a sneer on his face, Si Shaowen, Si Yi's eldest brother? Why is he here?

"The eldest son."

"Well, lead the way."

After hearing the conversation between Si Shaowen and a boy, Zuo Weiyue subconsciously felt that something was wrong. After her expression became more serious, she quickened her steps and followed him.

"Is there anyone inside?"

"I invited people in early. I guess the negotiation is almost done. I'm just waiting for you to come over." The waiter said, opening the sliding door in front of him and welcoming Si Shaowen in with a respectful gesture.

In order not to be discovered by them, Zuo Weiyue kept a long distance from them.

Seeing this, she wanted to quickly step forward and follow him, but the boy's hands were too fast, and she was taken away by the sliding door before she could follow him.

"."

Forget it, it's the same thing if she sticks to the door and eavesdrops.

But who knew that the sound insulation of this wooden door was so good that she could only vaguely hear Wei Shu's voice coming from inside.

Most of them were buzzing and completely inaudible.

Just as she was thinking about using magic power to let her pass through the wooden door and eavesdrop, she heard footsteps getting closer and closer to the wooden door. She could only put away her ears against the wooden door and stand up straight.

"Wow."

The next moment, the sound of the sliding wooden door being pulled sounded, and Wei Shu's figure appeared in front of Zuo Weiyue.

However, his complexion was obviously a little bad, as if something bad had happened to him.

"Hey, why did you just leave so nicely?"

Inside, a well-dressed, middle-aged man who should be an official said, and wanted to chase him out, but was stopped by Si Shaowen.

"There's no need to chase him. If you force him to stay with someone who wants to leave, you won't be able to keep him. Let him go back and think about it on his own."

After Zuo Weiyue listened to what Si Shaowen and the middle-aged man said, she looked at Wei Shu, who had already strode away, and his figure was no longer obvious under the cover of the snow, and hurriedly followed him.

The gate of Gongyuan.

When Lou Huai saw Wei Shu carrying a wooden bookcase with a very sad look on his face, he guessed that something bad had happened.

Seeing that Zuo Weiyue had also followed, he did not ask Wei Shu anything first, but asked him to get on the carriage first and talk after returning to the inn.

Because the provincial examination in Eternal Cold City ends at the end of the morning, Lou Huai and Zuo Weiyue set off early, basically getting up at the beginning of the morning.

At that time, Wei Xiaoya was still sleeping soundly. She thought she was just coming to take Wei Shu back, so she didn't wake her up.

Therefore, even if Wei Shu did not see Wei Xiaoya's figure, he could probably guess some of the reasons.

Wei Shu took the exam for three days in a row and was already quite tired. When he left the exam room, he was asked to leave for a long time. As soon as he got off the carriage and stepped into the door of the inn, he felt his eyes go dark.

"Hey, Mr. Wei, be careful!" Lou Wan quickly stepped forward to help Wei Shu. Seeing that his face was as pale as a sheet, he looked at Lou Huai with some worry and asked, "Master, do you want to ask a doctor to come and see Mr. Wei?"

look?"

"No need." Wei Shu said in a weak voice, raising his eyes to Lou Wan and interrupting him, "I'm just very nervous these past three days and haven't had much rest. Just let me go to bed and take it easy."

"Brother! Are you back after taking the exam?!" Wei Xiaoya had just come down from the third floor of the inn when she saw Wei Shu looking weak and being supported by Lou Wan.

The joy on his face was quickly replaced by a look of worry, and he quickly stepped forward to hold Wei Shu's other arm, his beautiful eyes a little red due to distress: "Brother, did you spend the whole night without rest again to answer questions?

"

Wei Xiaoya has been following Wei Shu for a long time, and this is not the first time this has happened to Wei Shu.

She asked Wei Shu when he first appeared. After knowing that Wei Shu also used his rest time to answer questions, she got angry with Wei Shu and told him not to do this again next time.

But although Wei Shu promised well, it was still like this the next few times.

Wei Shu was exposed by Wei Xiaoya, and after a moment of guilt, he did not deny it: "Xiaoya, brother, this is not true."

"Okay, brother, don't talk too much. Let's go in and take a rest first." Although Wei Xiaoya is only twelve years old, she talks like a complete little adult now.

Wei Shu's current situation really meant that he should rest as soon as possible. Seeing that Wei Xiaoya was not really angry, he breathed a sigh of relief, and with the help of her and Lou Wan, he went into the private room that Lou Huai had opened for him in advance to rest.

During this period, Zuo Weiyue also told Lou Huai all the things she heard and saw in the Gongyuan.

Let’s walk through the plot briefly.
