Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 880 This is dangerous

Feng Hao reached out and patted Gao Lin on the shoulder and said.

"Brother Gao, you are the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, why do you have to argue with a little girl?"

"That's right! You are a grown man, shouldn't you be more generous? Why are you so petty?" Fang Tianyi echoed.

Gao Lin was about to get angry, but when he heard what the two said, he immediately calmed down and swallowed his anger.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that he should be more forbearing. After all, Gu Chan had just helped Prince Leng to cure the royal bull!
No matter what, Prince Leng must have a good impression of Gu Chan now. If he treats Gu Chan harshly and Prince Leng finds out, he will definitely suffer.

Thinking of this, Gao Lin quickly let out a long sigh, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a sinister smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll be magnanimous and not bother with her. But I'll say this in advance. If the brother and sister dare to provoke me again, don't blame me for being merciless."

"Okay, let's go! Let's go upstairs and drink and chat." Feng Hao said with a smile.

After saying that, he pulled Gao Lin into the inn and went to the guest rooms upstairs.

Gu Chan ignored them and went to her room to rest.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was already dusk.

Gu Chan was so hungry when she woke up that she had to go downstairs to eat. Just then, Feng Hao and the other two were sitting at a small table by the window on the right side of the ground floor, eating.

When Fang Tianyi saw Gu Chan coming down, she waved her hand and said, "Pan'er, come here quickly. The dishes have just been served. I was just about to go upstairs to call you down to eat!"

"Mr. Gao, why haven't you left yet?" Gu Chan walked over and sat down next to Fang Tianyi, staring at Gao Lin who was sitting opposite her and teasingly said.

"I like to stay here. Is it any of your business?" Gao Lin said coldly.

"Hehe..." Gu Chan laughed with a grin on her face.

Then she ignored Gao Lin again, picked up her bowl and chopsticks and concentrated on eating.

Gao Lin stared at her and said with an unhappy look, "Where's your brother? Didn't he come back from hiding from me before? Why can't I see him again?"

"You're kidding me. My brother knew you were going to deal with him, but he still stayed in Kyoto like an idiot? Not to mention him, even if it was me who got in trouble with a rich and ignorant young man like you, I would run away!" Gu Chan said sarcastically.

"Oh! You little bastard...I..."

Gao Lin was about to start cursing, but before he could say anything, he saw a female official in a red robe, leading two female guards, walking in from the door of the inn.

As soon as the three of them entered the inn, all the guests who were eating on the first floor stopped what they were doing, stood up quickly, and bowed to greet them.

Feng Hao and the other two also stood up and saluted.

Although Gu Chan didn't understand what was going on, seeing the expressions of everyone, she could understand that this female official who suddenly walked into the inn must have a high status in the Kyoto court, otherwise everyone would not be so respectful to her.

The female official nodded in satisfaction, and stood at the door, holding the imperial edict in her hand, saying, "Where are Xu Xian and Gu Pan'er? Why don't you come quickly and kneel down to receive the edict?"

"Sir, I am Gu Paner. My brother is not in Kyoto right now!" Gu Chan hurriedly walked up to the female official and explained.

The female official glanced at her and said, "Since he is not here, you, as his younger sister, will take his place and receive the order."

"Yes, sir, I, Gu Pan'er, accept the order." Gu Chan did not dare to neglect it and responded respectfully, then knelt down on the ground with her knees softened. The female official opened the imperial edict, placed it in front of her and read it out, "By the providence of Heaven, the Queen summoned me to say that because Gu Pan'er had done a great job in curing the royal family's royal cattle, Prince Leng recommended Xu Xian to participate in the spring examination as a reward. I have considered it and decided to agree to Prince Leng's reward. I hope Xu Xian will study hard and get a good score in this spring examination. I decree this."

"I thank the Queen for her grace. Long live the Queen." Gu Chan shouted.

The female official took the imperial edict and handed it to her.

Gu Chan stood up and looked at the imperial edict in her hand, her expression extremely ugly.

Dry!
Prince Leng, what an old bastard! Even if he wanted to reward her for curing the imperial bull, he should have given her something else! He had to make her disguise herself as Xu Xian and go to take the spring exam.

Isn't this the same as forcing her to take the exam? How could this not make her feel uncomfortable?

The female official stared at Gu Chan and said seriously, "Remember, you received the imperial edict for your brother, which means that you two siblings have received the empress's will. If your brother does not take the spring exam, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and you two will be beheaded."

"Ah? Is this... so serious?" Gu Chan said in a daze.

"Little girl, do you think the Queen is joking with you?" the female official reminded coldly.

"Yes, sir, I understand. When my brother comes back, I will make it clear to him that he must not miss the spring exam." Gu Chan said hurriedly.

"Yes!" the female official responded arrogantly.

Then she ignored Gu Chan, reached out to push Gu Chan away, and walked straight towards Feng Hao who was standing over there.

Coming in front of Feng Hao, she stood with her hands behind her back and said, "Are you Feng Hao, the eldest son of the Feng family from the northern border?"

"Sir, it's me." Feng Hao said politely.

"Yes, he is tall and strong, and has a handsome appearance. He is worthy of being the most talented person on the northern border of our Diyue country." The female official exclaimed.

Feng Hao said modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, sir. This is just an empty reputation and not worth mentioning."

"Hmph! You'd better live up to your reputation and not just have a false title, otherwise I'm afraid you'll be in a lot of trouble. This time I came here specially, not only to convey the imperial edict to Gu Paner and his sister, but also to bring you the Queen's oral instructions." The female official snorted coldly.

Feng Hao immediately prepared to kneel down to receive the Queen's instructions.

The female official waved her hand and said, "You don't have to kneel. After all, you are a great talent in our Diyue country. We can give you this privilege of not kneeling. This is also the Queen's intention."

"Sir, what is this oral order?" Feng Hao asked.

"The Queen said that if you don't make it into the top three in this spring exam, it will prove that your title as the most talented person in the northern border is false. Then she will not only chop off your head, but also your father and mother's heads, and even the head of your uncle, the city lord, will be in danger." The female official sneered.

Feng Hao's face darkened and he instantly became furious.

He really didn't expect that the Queen would be so cruel to him. At this moment, he even regretted that he had been angry with Gu Chan in Xuanyue City. Otherwise, he would never have come to Kyoto to take the spring exam and ended up in this extremely dangerous situation.

"Great talent, you take care of yourself!" said the female official, patting Feng Hao on the shoulder.

After saying that, she turned and left with the two female guards.

Gu Chan and Feng Hao stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
