The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626: 302 Jiaojiao Beats People (First Update)

What on earth is happening to me?

It’s true I have been agitated in the past, but usually, I could suppress it quickly. Yet, this time...

This uncontrollable feeling leaves Xiao Liulang at a loss, and even somewhat irritable.

What? Has all my reading of sacred books led me to become a beast instead?

He shakes his head, forcing himself to wipe the distracting thoughts from his mind.

However, the effect is not satisfying.

It’s as though the more he forcibly represses it, the more turbulent it becomes. Just like boiling lava, it burns his whole chest, radiating intense heat.

In the end, with no other solution, he gets up and goes to the old well in the backyard. He fetches a bucket of water and takes a vigorously cold bath.

As for Gu Jiao, she is more heartless. Though she likes to tease, once she’s done, she goes to bed without dwelling on it.

Someone fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

However, her sleep that night was inevitably uneasy.

She has another dream.

In it, she sees Xiao Liulang, who is an official in the Hanlin Academy.

Xiao Liulang, from a humble background, had surpassed the Prince of An County to claim the title of top scholar, inviting a lot of jealousy and envy from others.

Given that the Hanlin Academy was under the control of Minister Zhuang, one could easily guess Xiao Liulang’s predicament there.

However, gold always shines. Regardless of how his peers oppressed Xiao LiuLang, his intelligence and talent always got a chance to flourish.

But it was not at the Hanlin Academy, but in the Ministry of Justice.

It so happened that a murder case had arisen, and the murderer was captured by a passing official from the Hanlin Academy, who then handed the criminal over to the Ministry of Justice. Before long, the murderer’s family came to the Hanlin Academy, claiming that they had caught the wrong man, that their father was not the murderer.

The accuser was a nine-year-old child.

No one would believe the child’s words, except Xiao Liulang, who went to the Ministry of Justice, and indeed discovered that the child’s father was innocent.

Xiao Liulang helped the Ministry of Justice capture the real culprit and was greatly appreciated by the Minister of Justice.

From here, it seems like Xiao Liulang’s official luck is finally shining through. But when he was on his way home from the Ministry of Justice, he was hit by a falling Taoist nun.

He was knocked unconscious on the spot, and so was the Taoist nun.

Under broad daylight, a man and a woman were spread-eagled on the ground. The unknowing public was left wondering what had happened.

At the time, Xiao Liulang was wearing the official uniform of the Hanlin Academy, so news spread quickly.
