The examination room was very quiet, with only the sounds of answering questions and turning papers, and occasionally the sounds of candidates clearing their throats and coughing.

There were footsteps, and it was time for the guards to pour water for the candidates. The guards were always in pairs to prevent private correspondence with the candidates. One was carrying a water bottle, and the other was carrying a large basket with a water bowl in it.

Today is the first day of the second game, so I will leave the water bowl after filling it with water and put it away when the game is over.

The two guards quickly walked to Dongming Ziyu's cell. Guard A took out a bowl from the basket, held it, and waited for Guard B to pour water.

Guard B was surprised and motioned with his eyes to put the bowl on the table so as not to burn him. He always put the bowl on the table and then poured hot water on it. What happened to him?

Dongming Ziyu had quickly put away the test papers and put them behind him, looking at the two of them expressionlessly, invisibly oppressing them, making both of them a little frightened.

Officer B was a bit confused, but he felt something. He looked at the scrap paper left on the table, and then looked at Dongming Ziyu's prepared look, and suddenly realized something, and stared at Officer A warningly.

Officer A's face turned green and red, his hands were shaking a little, and he put the bowl on the corner of the table.

Guard B held the kettle and filled the bowl with water, and signaled Guard A with his eyes to leave quickly. If anything happens, those of them who are guarding the test papers and handing them out will be in trouble first, so don't let him get involved!

Guard A had a pale face and closed his eyes. Then he opened his eyes and looked helplessly, apologetically and decisively at Dongming Ziyu. Then he stumbled on his feet and pretended to be unsteady and threw himself at the bowl of water on the table.

In the past, the water bowl tipped over and the water spilled on the manuscript paper.

He was lying on the table, staring at the manuscript paper full of words.

Officer B was so frightened that his legs weakened and he almost fainted. He also leaned over and stared at the manuscript paper. The ink on the manuscript paper slowly faded away and became smeared on the manuscript paper. There was nothing unusual about it.

He looked at Officer A in confusion, as if to say: What are you doing?

Officer A was shocked and confused at first, and then smiled with relief. This is the best, this is the best. It was because they didn't do it well, not because they didn't do it well.

The movement here attracted all the candidates on the opposite side to look over. Those who were up to no good would stick their heads out of the room and look here.

The invigilator immediately noticed something was wrong. Four officials came over quickly. They saw that the water bowl had been spilled and the draft paper was wet. They scolded the two officers with their eyes, and then looked at Dongming Ziyu.

Dongming Ziyu took out the test paper placed behind him and signaled that the test paper was fine and that he was protecting it very well.

The examiners waved their hands to signal the two officers to go down. A reprimand was indispensable.

Dongming Ziyu took out a rag to clean the table and continued to answer questions. This potion showed blue writing when it was exposed to water. He traced it with ink, but the original color could no longer be seen. He splashed it with water again and it became blurred.

The handwriting on the scratch paper will not be seen to be different from the content on the test paper in the future.

During the whole process, no one said a word, but an invisible war was fought.

After a while, two unfamiliar guards came over and gave Dongming Ziyu another set of manuscript papers. They whispered, "The guard neglected his duty and the examiner gave it to you."

Dongming Ziyu nodded to express his gratitude. He checked the manuscript paper and found that there were no problems. He copied the answers on the examination paper onto the manuscript paper. There was no other way but the manuscript paper had to be handed in together with the examination paper. If any problems were found, the handwriting and content could be checked.

When Shangguan Ruoli found out about this in the evening, he broke out in a cold sweat. If there was no space, he would really be in trouble this time.

Then he saw that Dongming Ziyu became more alert, and nothing happened next. But he didn't relax at all, and he didn't dare to be careless at all. As for whether there will be any problems after handing in the paper, that's not him

If you can control it, you can only leave it to fate.

After three exams, Dongming Ziyu lost five pounds and looked tired, but he was in good spirits.

Several people in the same examination room fell ill and were carried out. Many people walked out of the Gongyuan with pale faces and swaying when they walked.

Dongming Ziyu slowly walked out with the candidates who handed in their papers, and saw Gu Lingyun in front. He didn't look good. He was very tired, his lips were pale, his face was red, and he was swaying when he walked.

There are queues in the examination room, and you are not allowed to walk around and make noise. As soon as you left the Gongyuan, Dongming Ziyu caught up with Gu Lingyun and supported him, "How about it? I'll carry you on my back?"

Gu Lingyun seemed to be dizzy. He tried his best to open his eyes and looked at Dongming Ziyu, smiled with relief, and then leaned against him.

There was a huge crowd of family members waiting outside to pick him up, and no one from the Gu family could be found, so Dongming Ziyu carried Gu Lingyun on his back and squeezed out.

"Young Master! Young Master! Young Master has fainted!" Gu Lingyun's servant noticed them and pushed in with his servants.

Dalang and Bai Ying also saw Dongming Ziyu, and the two groups of people crowded in together. When they received him, they were all disheveled and their hair was messy.

Bai Ying took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, "The fourth wife has prepared it. She said she would take one pill first if someone faints."

The fourth wife refers to Shangguan Ruoli. There is no such thing as a wife's imperial edict. People call women old lady, madam, grandma, young mistress. After Da Lang had a son, the servants in the family all called Mrs. Qian the old lady and Shangguan.

Ruoli is the fourth wife, and Wu Wenhui is called grandma.

Old man Dong was also promoted to old master, and those below him in order of seniority were master, young master, and young master.

Shangguan Ruoli's pills are only for protecting qi and vitality. You need to see a doctor to take the right medicine.

Dongming Ziyu hurriedly sent Gu Lingyun back to the Gu Mansion. There was a doctor in the Gu Mansion who had prepared the decoction. It turned out that when Gu Lingyun came out of the second game, he had some symptoms of cold, cough and sore throat, but

He still insisted on attending the third game, otherwise he would have to wait three years, and he was not willing to do so.

Dongming Ziyu made sure that Gu Lingyun was fine, so he said goodbye and went back. He was also very tired, a little embarrassed, and the smell on his body was hard to describe, so no one was left in Gu's house.

When he got home, Bai Yingcai knocked on the door, and the courtyard door opened in response.

The porter Zhu Sha opened the door and shouted into the yard: "The Fourth Master is back! The Fourth Master is back!"

A rush of footsteps came from the inner courtyard, and Mrs. Qian's loud voice said, "Si'er, is Si'er back?"

Dongming Ziyu had no choice but to reply loudly: "Mom, it's me who's back!"

"Hey! Why did you come back?" Mrs. Qian's voice was very anxious.

Old Mrs. Qian, Old Man Dong, Shangguan Ruoli and the two children all came out to welcome him, all looking worried.

Mrs. Qian looked Dongming Ziyu up and down from a distance to make sure he was fine, then asked: "Why are you back so late? Did something happen?"

Dongming Ziyu supported her and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's Gu Lingyun. He insisted on taking the exam even though he had a cold. He fainted as soon as he left the exam room. We sent him to his hometown."

Mrs. Qian worriedly asked, "Is the child okay?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "Don't worry, Mom, it's okay."

Mrs. Qian wrinkled her nose in disgust, "Go take a shower first, it smells so bad!"

Dongming Ziyu: "..."

After coming out of the bath, Shangguan was here. The old god put down the teacup on the ground and said, "I heard that you were almost framed for cheating?"
