Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

Yao Feiran closed the door and said to Mei Shuang, "Now that I'm a scholar, you don't need to be nice to them. They bully the weak and fear the strong. Hire two guards tomorrow."

"Hmm." Mei Shuang was in a better mood. "What brings you here today?"

"It's nothing."

.....

Several years later, Yao Feiran and Yan Muyao both passed the imperial examination and became Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examination). They were classmates and went to the capital together to participate in the metropolitan-level imperial examination.

When the appointed time arrived, Yao Feiran saw that Yan Muyao had been waiting for a long time, along with other students from Wanxi County who had come to the capital.

Yan Muyao waved: "Brother Liu, you're only just arriving."

"Brother Yan, some things at home have kept me waiting. Please wait patiently."

Yan Muyao: "It's alright, we just arrived recently."

The other students laughed and said, "Why didn't Brother Yan's mother come to see us off today?"

Yan Muyao remained expressionless: "My mother has been unwell recently, so she has been resting at home and is not in a position to receive guests."

In fact, Yao Feiran had instructed him that he was going to do business far away and that he should not tell anyone.

"So that's how it is."

Yao Feiran had long noticed Yan Muyao's increasingly dangerous aura. It seemed that Song Yuheng had taken notice of Yan Muyao and would make a move this time as well. However, with so many students on the road, the journey should be safe, and the danger should be in the capital.

It took them more than a month to travel to reach the capital. Wanxi County was located in a remote area, and by the time they arrived, all the inns in the capital were already full.

Everyone went their separate ways to find places to stay. Yan Muyao leaned over and whispered, "Brother Liu, come with me. My mother asked someone to book two rooms for me in advance."

Thank you.

"No need to thank me, we're all classmates."

The two were taught by the same teacher in the same college. Yan Muyao had always admired Liu Songyan's scholarship, but the other party was a bit aloof and didn't pay much attention to him. He was also proud and naturally didn't want to be treated coldly. However, his mother told him to be nicer to the other party, saying that it would help him turn bad luck into good in critical moments.

He had no choice but to obey his mother.

The two were in adjacent rooms. The night before the exam, near dawn, Yao Feiran noticed someone standing at the door of Yan Muyao's room. She released Da Bing, who was now able to leave the box briefly and had become much stronger.

At Yao Feiran's command, Da Bing's obese body crawled out of the room and blew a blast of cold air directly into the face of the person exhaling smoke.

The man looked terrified, and instantly felt a sharp pain in his fingers, causing the sleeping pill in his hand to fall to the ground.

The commotion startled Yan Muyao awake. His mother had told him that someone in the capital wanted to harm the Yan family and that he should be extremely careful.

He opened the room and saw the other person's terrified expression, as well as the sleeping pills and tubes on the ground. He immediately reported it to the authorities, and after verification, the other person was quickly detained.

The next morning, Yan Muyao patted his chest and said, "Brother Liu, you have no idea that someone tried to bewitch me yesterday, hoping to make me miss my exam. It was absolutely despicable."

It seems we need to deal with this Empress Dowager as soon as possible, otherwise there will be too many troubles later on, and we don't know how the Emperor is doing.

But there are definitely more methods than just this.

Yao Feiran: "It was a close call, but you'll have great luck from now on."

Yan Muyao chuckled: "Thank you for your kind words."

The two walked to the examination hall together. Yao Feiran followed behind him the whole time, but she didn't act familiar and kept a certain distance.

Because the two were from the same hometown and their examination cells were not far apart, Yao Feiran kept a close eye on his luck. That night, the examinee opposite him threw something over. Yan Muyao happened to be sleeping, so Yao Feiran sent Da Bing over to bring back the thing that had been thrown over.

After a while, Da Bing came over with a wad of paper in his mouth, which contained exam prediction articles and a pocket-sized booklet.

Yao Feiran told Da Bing to eat it. Although Da Bing hated the smell of paper, he still listened to Yao Feiran. Later, he even bit the examinee who wanted to frame Yan Muyao. The examinee cried out in pain and was expelled for disrupting the examination room discipline, and was banned from taking the exam for life.

After a while, more patrolmen came, and Yan Muyao was safe and sound.

Three days passed without incident. When Yan Muyao came out, he was completely exhausted. He glanced at Yao Feiran's expressionless face.

"Brother Liu, you are in very good health."

"Um."

Yao Feiran turned and left.

Yan Muyao: "So aloof."

On the day the results were announced, Yan Muyao asked nervously, "Brother Liu, the results are out, do you want to go see them?"

"No need to go, I'll rest in my room."

He was then splashed with cold water again, and he awkwardly touched his face.

He endured it for his mother's sake.

Yan Muyao went to check the list with the others. Yao Feiran walked on the street for a while and saw a dirty beggar eating a steamed bun.

It was Yan Wenmo. I heard that his title had been stripped by the emperor, and he had no salary, so he had to beg for food outside.

Yao Feiran is currently using Liu Songyan's face and has not acknowledged him.

Back in his room, the celebratory party was already there: "Congratulations, Mr. Liu, ninth place!"

Yao Feiran revealed a slight smile and gave money to those who brought the good news.

Yan Muyao also came over; he had also passed the exam, but his ranking was low: "Congratulations, Brother Liu, you ranked ninth."

Congratulations!

The imperial examination.

On the east and west sides of the hall, there is one table for each person.

Yao Feiran read the topic, thought for a moment, and began to write. What she wrote was basically conventional, without any mistakes or much originality. She felt a bright yellow figure walk past her.

The controlling Gu worm in her heart started to move.

The emperor possessed a poisonous insect called "Heart-Controlling Gu".

It seems that Song Yuheng not only has the Love-Sickness Gu, but also the Mind-Control Gu, and even the emperor has been controlled. However, the condition of this offspring Gu is not good, probably because the mother Gu is not strong. Song Yuheng is not young, and his essence and blood should be insufficient.

The emperor was pale and somewhat thin, probably due to his resistance to the Gu poison, which shortened his lifespan and indicated an early death.

The fact that Song Yuheng also used this mind-controlling Gu between mother and son suggests that their relationship is not very good.

Yao Feiran lowered her head and remained silent.

After the palace examination, Yao Feiran surprisingly became the third-ranked scholar, while Yan Muyao became a second-ranked scholar.

After the parade ended, the two waited for the court to issue further instructions. Suddenly, a eunuch ran over and said, "Young master, please come with me to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager."

Yao Feiran's expression remained unchanged. Why had Song Yuheng summoned her? Had he discovered something?

It should be impossible.

"Thank you for leading the way, Father-in-law."
