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

Chapter 191 Continuing the Bloodline

Du Ziteng also had a gossipy expression, leaning his head slightly closer to Jiang Qingyan and whispering, "I've met his childhood sweetheart before. She even brought him food before the exam! As for her looks... she is indeed pretty and charming. When she's with Mu Zhiqiu, they are definitely a perfect match."

He poured himself a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and continued, "As for how far things have progressed... Mu Zhiqiu didn't tell us, but it's not hard to tell from the way that girl looks at him that it's absolutely full of love!"

Jiang Qingyan pinched her chin and asked curiously, "And the way Mu Zhiqiu looked at her? Was it also full of love?"

After recalling carefully for a moment, Du Ziteng said, "His eyes are cold to everyone, only softening when he looks at that girl. As for love... with Mu Zhiqiu's icy eyes, a slight softening would probably be considered love..."

Jiang Qingyan pouted and said regretfully, "Alright, since he already has someone he loves, then I won't make a move on him."

Upon hearing this, Du Ziteng immediately moved his head back, staring at Jiang Qingyan with a look of astonishment, and said, "You wouldn't happen to be gay, would you?"

Jiang Qingyan chuckled and nodded, "That's right! That's right! I am gay!"

Du Ziteng couldn't help but frown and said, "Then don't ruin Mu Zhiqiu's life! He's a genius that only comes along once in a century! With such good genes, he should find a good girl to continue his bloodline!"

Jiang Qingyan got up and walked to Mo Ting, gently sitting on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, and teased, "So, what do you think of my genes? Shouldn't I find a good girl to continue the bloodline?"

Du Ziteng twitched his lips in surprise. These two are so good-looking, how come they ended up dating each other?

If she walked down the street, what kind of noble lady wouldn't be captivated by her?

Jiang Qingyan smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Could it be that my manly genes are inferior to Mu Zhiqiu's?"

Du Ziteng quickly waved his hand and said, "Both of you gentlemen are handsome and refined, and must be outstanding individuals. Even if your genes are no longer passed down, it cannot stop your path to happiness!"

Jiang Qingyan couldn't help but chuckle, "You're so eloquent! Thumbs up! Keep up that strength, and you'll definitely shine in this palace examination!"

Du Ziteng smiled and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Then I'll take your kind words, young master!"

Seeing that she couldn't get any useful information from Du Ziteng, Jiang Qingyan got up and pulled Mo Ting to find Lvyao and Lu Nian.

After visiting the rooms of several tribute scholars, they discovered that all of them had been poisoned with bewitching incense, except for Mu Zhiqiu, who had been poisoned with the Heartless Gu.

Jiang Qingyan had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

It can be largely ruled out that the court officials did not want more talented people in the palace.

There is a high probability that it stemmed from resentment born of love.

Meanwhile, the other candidates kept going to Mu Zhiqiu, and the murderer, fearing they would interfere with his use of witchcraft, simply drugged them all.

After the last tribute student awoke, Mu Zhiqiu slowly opened his eyes as well.

He rubbed his throbbing temples and slowly sat up.

Thinking of asking the other candidates what happened last night, he opened the door and met Jiang Qingyan's eyes.

When their eyes met, Jiang Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. How come this person looked even more handsome when he was awake than when he was unconscious?

Look at those empty, emotionless eyes—they're just like a little devilish vampire prince!

Mu Zhiqiu glanced at Jiang Qingyan indifferently, then walked straight past him to Du Ziteng's door and gently knocked.

Upon hearing the sound, Du Ziteng quickly got out of bed, opened the door, and warmly welcomed him in.

Mu Zhiqiu said softly, "Brother Du, what exactly happened last night? Why did I remain unconscious until now? And my head hurts terribly."

Du Ziteng sighed and said, "Last night we were all harmed by a villain who secretly poisoned us. I just woke up. Fortunately, those young masters outside healed us, otherwise we would have missed the palace examination!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhiqiu turned his head slightly to look at Jiang Qingyan and the others outside the door, and nodded gently. "I, Mu Zhiqiu, thank you for your righteous rescue, young master. I will do my best to repay your great kindness in the future."

Jiang Qingyan chuckled and waved her hand, "No need to be polite! When you become the top scholar in the future, doing more good deeds for the people will be your way of repaying us."

Upon hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed in Mu Zhiqiu's eyes. People are greedy and always try to bind others for life with small favors.

The person before him, however, had the people at heart and did not seek repayment for the kindness shown to him, which surprised him somewhat.

Mu Zhiqiu said with heartfelt respect, "Young Master is very righteous. I will remember it for the rest of my life. If I am ever able to serve as an official in the court, I will definitely do more for the people."

Jiang Qingyan nodded in satisfaction. "Remember the promise you made today. If you ever have any ulterior motives in the future, the consequences will be very serious..."

After saying that, he stuck his head back into the house and whispered, "Oh, and let me tell you a secret: don't fall in love with anyone! Otherwise, you won't be a good official!"

After saying that, he ignored Mu Zhiqiu's puzzled expression and pulled Mo Ting and the others away from the inn.

Anyway, Du Ziteng, that big mouth, will tell him the reason eventually, so we should give him some time to process it...

After leaving the inn, Mo Ting and the others thought they were going straight back to the palace, but Jiang Qingyan raised the corners of her mouth excitedly and said, "Now that we're out, I'll take you to a good place!"

After saying that, he took the three of them to Haolilai.

As soon as you enter the store, the sweet aroma of eggs and milk quickly fills your nasal cavity, chest cavity, and all sorts of cavities...

Green Medicine stared in astonishment at the various unusual pastries in the shop, her mouth watering.

After all... no girl can resist a sweet and delicious little cake, right?

Jiang Qingyan patted her shoulder and said generously, "Eat whatever you want today, it's on me!"

Green Medicine nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, excitedly pointed to the strawberry cake on the shelf, and said to the waiter, "I want that one!"

Upon hearing this, the waiter quickly took the strawberry cake down, gently placed it on the table, and then handed her a fork from the side.

Green Medicine couldn't wait to poke a big chunk and put it in her mouth, her eyes even sparkling with excitement.

She had never eaten such delicious pastries before, and after just one bite, she suddenly felt exceptionally happy!

Mo Yan, who was working, rushed out of the kitchen after hearing Jiang Qingyan's voice, and looked at her with a big smile, "Yanqing, you're here! There are some freshly baked cakes in the kitchen, would you like to come in and have some?"

Jiang Qingyan nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay! Let's go to the kitchen now!"

Mo Yan casually glanced at Mo Ting and Lu Nian behind Jiang Qingyan, her eyes filled with amazement.

Why are all the men around Yan Qing so incredibly handsome?

When Mo Yan saw Green Medicine sitting at the table wolfing down a strawberry cake, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes...
