"Brother Huang, haven't you found anyone yet?"

At night, in the palace, Nie Qingsang saw Shi Yu coming over, and hurriedly greeted him and asked.

Shi Yu shook his head, "It has been determined that the Pingyang Marquis Mansion bribed the eunuchs in the palace and asked him to trick Chu Yan out of the palace under the pretense of Chu Ming's injury." Later, on the street, someone saw a carriage hijacking Chu Yan, and it was not clear after that. ”

"That person must have been arrested and returned to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, let's hurry up and go to the Pingyang Hou Mansion to ask for someone!" Nie Qingsang hurriedly spoke.

"People are not in Pingyang Houfu." Jing Heng walked in from outside.

Coming in with him was Chu Ming, who looked anxious, and he already knew about Chu Yan.

"I've gone back to the house to see it, but I don't see any smoke."

"Could it be that your father is hiding?"

"Chasing Yun led people to sneak in quietly, and turned over the entire Pingyang Hou Mansion to make sure that the person was indeed not in the mansion." Jing Heng said, "I should be worried that we will come to the door to ask for someone, so I hid them." ”

"It's too much!" The annoyance and anxiety in Nie Qingsang's heart could no longer be suppressed, "Pingyang Hou is Chu Yan's father anyway, is it really so difficult to support his own daughter?" ”

In order to prevent Chu Yan from participating in the assessment, even such a trick was used.

Chu Ming's eyes were also full of disappointment, and he also knew a little about his sister's thoughts. This opportunity is indeed very rare for her.

But even though the emperor gave the order and gave this opportunity, his father still felt that Yan'er was discrediting the Hou Mansion.

When he went home to look for someone just now, his father's words did not show any concern and understanding for his daughter, and his mouth was full of the face of the Hou Mansion!

"Your Majesty, it's about to dawn now, if Miss Chu hasn't found it at the time of the assessment, then ......" Xiao Xiazi looked worried.

It took so much effort for the emperor to get such an opportunity, if there was no woman participating in the assessment at that time, I am afraid that this matter would become a joke!

Shi Yu's eyebrows were heavy, "Continue to look for someone, even if Chu Yan can't appear on time in the end, someone must be found." ”

The winter wind is howling, and the sky has revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

Inside the Zhuangzi outside the city, Chu Yan was tied up in the firewood room, and his heart was very anxious.

It's already dawn, today is the assessment day, if she can't arrive before the time, then she won't be able to participate in the assessment.

Chu Yan's wrists and ropes kept rubbing against the wall, and the rough wall skin made her hands hurt, but she didn't dare to stop at all.

This Zhuangzi is the dowry of the eldest lady Yue, and the top and bottom are also the eldest lady's people, they can't let her go, if you want to escape, she has to rely on herself.

I don't know how long it took to grind, Chu Yan felt that his hands seemed to be almost unconscious, and finally felt that the rope at his wrist was loose and broken!

Hurriedly got rid of the rope and untied the rope on his leg, Chu Yan walked lightly to the door, and after seeing that there was someone guarding outside, he observed the surroundings for a while, and finally returned to the wall, borrowed the firewood to cushion his feet, and climbed up the window.

It's said to be a window, but it's actually just a high vent, but it's made to look like a window.

Chu Yan opened it lightly and looked at this height, feeling scared in his heart.

After looking at the sky again, he gritted his teeth and jumped down.

With a plop, Chu Yan fell to the ground, and his ankle hurt terribly.

This movement alarmed the guards, and listening to the sound of the door opening, Chu Yan didn't have time to check his ankles, and limped out.

"People are running, chase after them!" The people in Zhuangzi were suddenly alarmed.

Clearly hearing the sound of chasing behind him, Chu Yan's heart beat fast, and he didn't dare to stop at all.

But even so, she was soon caught up.

"You are so bold, I am also a young lady in the house, you are not afraid that I will retaliate against you in the future!" Chu Yan had no way out, so he could only threaten with a cold face, but the panic in his heart couldn't be suppressed.

Obviously, the little guys don't eat this set, "Miss, this is what Master Hou and Mrs. mean, if you run away, we won't be able to explain!" ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Chu Yan, wanting to catch the person again.

"Right here, catch them!"

At the critical moment, Shen Qingshi appeared with seven or eight servants.

The officials immediately stepped forward and surrounded the men.

"Are you alright, girl?" Shen Qingshi looked at Chu Yan, "You don't have to be afraid, you are a court official below, you are already ......"

Chu Yan seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and he didn't care about anything, so he grabbed Shen Qingshi's sleeve.

"My lord, I want to go back to the Imperial City, please send me back to the Imperial City quickly."

Shen Qingshi was stunned for a moment, looking at Chu Yan's wrist that was still bleeding, "Okay, this official will send you back to find the doctor." ”

"Don't look for a doctor, I'm going back to participate in the household assessment!" Chu Yan immediately spoke.

Shen Qingshi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Chu Yan carefully, "You are the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang?" ”

Although the servants kept saying that they were ordered by the Marquis of Pingyang, Shen Qingshi asked the officials to detain them first.

found the carriage from Zhuangzi, took Chu Yan, and immediately rushed to the imperial city.

"It's already hourly, even if you rush back, it may not be too late, and the injury on your hand ......" Shen Qingshi looked at Chu Yan's hands and frowned.

The household assessment has to answer the test questions, can this Miss Chu still hold a pen now?

When he saw someone kidnapping someone on the street before, he couldn't catch up, only knowing that the other party was out of the city.

So he immediately went to the government office, explained the situation, and transferred the government to go out of the city with him to look for it, and after looking for it all night, he found this Zhuangzi.

But he never expected that it was Miss Chu who was going to participate in the household assessment, and it was Pingyang Hou who ordered the kidnapping.

It's a father, why not!

Chu Yan looked at his bleeding wrist, gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, I'll give it a try!" ”

"I think the emperor is very firm in promoting women as officials, even if he misses this opportunity, there should be a next time." Shen Qingshi persuaded him.

"It's different." Chu Yan raised his head and looked at Shen Qingshi, "If I don't go this time, then I'm afraid no woman will go to the election." Since Lord Shen is in the court, he should also understand the pressure that the emperor faced when he raised this matter. I'm going to rush over anyway. Even if there is a real next chance, if you don't do it well this time, it will only be more difficult to fight for the next time. ”

Putting aside the opportunities he wants, the matter of striving for more possibilities for women should not be just the emperor's efforts.

Looking at each other, the woman in front of her was obviously weak and embarrassed, but at this moment, Shen Qingshi seemed to see the strength of Jin Shi from the other party's eyes.

After a short pause, he immediately lifted the curtain and spoke to the official who was driving.

"As fast as possible, you must rush to the household!"
