The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Sheng Yuan and An Yu were stunned when they heard the bell.

The two of them looked at each other's surprise, and inexplicably, they felt a sense of unreality.

Of course, this feeling of helplessness quickly passed.

The two men who reacted did not dare to delay at all and immediately returned to the Five Army Headquarters.

At times like these, Kyoto’s safety is the top priority.

"I'll transfer all the people from Ancheng Marquis' Mansion here." An Yu intended to let Sheng Yuan leave first and stay in the mansion himself, but he really didn't trust her, so he could only entrust the important task to Cheng Dong.

"From now until the situation becomes clear, all the supplies that the mansion needs to purchase will be provided by our manor. Apart from the daily necessary handover of supplies, no one can enter or leave Yongxing Marquis's mansion easily... Remember, except for the tokens from me and Sister Yuan, the door cannot be opened no matter who knocks."

Having said this, An Yu was afraid that Cheng Dong couldn't handle it by himself, so he called Cheng You over to help.

He was busy dispatching generals and mobilizing troops there, and Sheng Yuan was not idle either. He instructed Xiaoyao to light the signal flares made of firecrackers as planned, and gave a few instructions to his personal guards. Then, he quickly walked towards the inner courtyard of the nursing home.

At a time like this, even if she didn't wake up her parents, she had to let her elder brother know what was going on.

During the few steps she took, she went over what she was going to say and the subsequent arrangements in her mind. But when she entered the bedroom in the inner courtyard, she was surprised to see that all three of them were fast asleep.

"...The medicine that the Marquis and the old lady took contains a drug that helps them fall asleep. The court doctor said that they should sleep until dawn tomorrow." Sister Kuang Qi walked out of the tea room connected to the main hall and told Sheng Yuan about the situation in the bedroom. "As for the prince, he was knocked unconscious by the old Marquis. The court doctor said...the old Marquis's hand was a bit heavy, so after the acupuncture and the medicine, he should also rest properly."

"Wake him up? I mean, big brother."

"It was Dr. Gong in the mansion who took my pulse, gave me acupuncture, and prescribed the medicine." After hearing what Sister Kuang Qi said, Sheng Yuan reflexively wanted to touch his forehead.

As a "native" of the Yongxing Marquis' Mansion, she was particularly familiar with the old doctor Gong in the mansion.

To be honest, this old gentleman's medical skills are excellent, but he likes to ask patients to sleep and rest after acupuncture and medication. More importantly, he often adds some corresponding sleeping herbs to the prescription.

How should I put it? The patients who received acupuncture and medicine from him recovered very quickly, but of course, they also slept very deeply. Let me put it this way, when the patient was sleeping soundly, even if you beat gongs and drums in his ears, you might not be able to wake him up.

If this is true, the Yongxing Marquisate can no longer count on these three before tomorrow.

Sheng Yuan thought so and walked forward without stopping. She personally looked at her parents and elder brother and even patted her elder brother's arm. When she saw that there was no response, she changed her plan.

"Yuan Jie'er." Sister Kuang Qi followed Sheng Yuan into the courtyard and whispered, "Although I don't know what's going on outside, I know what it means to rise together and fall together. Just for Sister Chun, I won't let the Marquis' Mansion hold you back, so...if there's anything I can do to help you with the affairs of the Mansion, just let me know, and I will definitely live up to your expectations."

She volunteered, but Sheng Yuan did not respond. He only asked her to take care of her parents, elder brother and Chun Jie'er.

As for other matters, the housekeeper and Xiaoyao will take care of them.

"Sister Yuan, the guards of the Marquis' Mansion said that uncle had sent someone into Dad's study before!"

Just as Sheng Yuan was about to speak, An Yu came running over, shouting the words of the guards from the Marquis' Mansion who had just been rescued.

"Study?!" Sheng Yuan was stunned at first, then his face turned stern, "Token! In Dad's study, there is a token granted by the late emperor that allows entry into the palace without inspection!" (End of this chapter)
