The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

Chapter 220: Winning the Top Prize

In a blink of an eye, several days passed by.

Qu Qingyan wrote furiously during the day, and at night when no one was noticing, he entered the space.

Taking advantage of the time difference between the inside and the outside, I had a good rest and quickly recovered my energy.

Therefore, when the Spring Examination was over, compared with other students who were listless and haggard, she seemed energetic and walked briskly.

Before stepping out of the cell, Qu Qingyan subconsciously glanced at the next room, only to see Qu Xinzhu collapsed on the ground, unconscious. It was obvious that the dog system was secretly causing trouble.

After all, she had consumed all the Wushisan on the first day. From the next day on, she cried and made a fuss in the cell, almost going crazy, and almost alerted the patrol. Fortunately, the little one reacted quickly and knocked her out in time, thus avoiding a disaster.

As a result, Qu Xinzhu's test paper was blank except for a few words at the beginning. She was destined to fail in this spring examination.

Qu Qingyan walked out of the Imperial Examination Hall with confidence, and immediately saw the 'male protagonists' who had been waiting for her for a long time. Her eyes dimmed slightly, and she walked away.

Not long after, Qu Xinzhu was carried out on a stretcher by the police.

Upon seeing this, Xiu Qing, Yan Changbai, Liao Wuchen and other men immediately lost their composure and surrounded them in panic.

Liao Wuchen was extremely worried and rushed forward to treat Qu Xinzhu. As everyone waited anxiously, Qu Xinzhu slowly woke up.

"Five Stone Powder, give it to me now!" Qu Xinzhu opened her eyes, full of madness and desire, and her hands tightly grasped Wuchen's collar like a pair of pliers. At this moment, her eyes were red, her eye sockets were dark blue, and her face was distorted, like a demon crawling out of hell.

Seeing this, Liao Wuchen didn't care about anything else. He hurriedly took out the water bag containing Wu Shi San and quickly put it to Qu Xinzhu's mouth.

Qu Xinzhu opened his mouth impatiently and swallowed in big gulps, with a "gulp gulp" sound coming from his throat.

After a long time, as she swallowed the last mouthful of liquid, her tense body finally relaxed and she let out a long sigh, as if she was reborn.

This scene was naturally noticed by those who were interested.

Time passed quietly, another month passed, and the much-anticipated Spring Examination results were finally announced.

Everything happened just as Qu Qingyan had expected. With her solid knowledge and outstanding performance, she won the first place title of "Huaiyuan" without any suspense, and successfully obtained the qualification to participate in the palace examination together with other tribute scholars.

On the way to the palace examination, Qu Qingyan inadvertently looked back at the crowd behind him, his eyes quickly searching for the familiar figure.

When she was sure that she didn't see Qu Xinzhu, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Li is now extremely powerful in the court and has absolute power. She has always been worried that Mo Li would use his power to secretly manipulate and disrupt the results of the palace examination for Qu Xinzhu.

Soon, Qu Qingyan and other tribute scholars arrived at the hall.

Looking up, I saw that it was the old emperor sitting on the dragon throne.

The old emperor looked sick at this time. He glanced at the people below weakly. After his eyes briefly stayed on Qu Qingyan, he slowly asked, "Who is the champion of this imperial examination?"

"Your Majesty, it is me." Qu Qingyan stood up calmly, with an upright posture and a clear and firm voice.

The old emperor nodded slightly, raised his hand and pointed at Qu Qingyan casually, saying: "Since you are the top scorer, the position of the top scholar must belong to you."

Afterwards, he successively pointed out the candidates for the second and third place in the imperial examinations, as well as a number of Jinshi candidates.

What is surprising is that during the entire process, the old emperor even omitted the crucial questioning session in the palace examination.

Everyone knelt down and thanked the old emperor.

The old emperor yawned sleepily, waved his hand, and signaled the eunuch to shout "Adjourn the court".

The second and third place winners as well as a group of Jinshi looked at each other with confusion and puzzlement on their faces. They were obviously very surprised by the sudden and hastily concluded palace examination.

However, other officials in the court seemed to have become accustomed to this. From their calm expressions, it can be seen that during this period of time, the old emperor was often in such a listless and perfunctory state in the court.

Qu Qingyan didn't have too many thoughts in her mind. All she cared about was that she was successfully selected as the top scholar. This meant that Qu Xinzhu's system mission had completely failed, and this was exactly the result she had been expecting.

Without system tasks, there will be no points, and Qu Xinzhu no longer has the luck of the heroine, so the next step is for her to ask for luck from other male protagonists.

Thinking of this, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and a barely perceptible murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

Soon, she will be able to kill them with one blow.

Inside the palace, Qu Xinzhu received a system notification that the task had failed, which made her panic.

"This... This can't be blamed on me. If you hadn't knocked me out that day, I wouldn't have known... No, I would definitely have won the top spot and completed the system task." Qu Xinzhu was still quibbling.

The little boy snorted coldly, his tone full of sarcasm and disdain: [Humph, if this master hadn't knocked you out, your taking of the Five Stones Powder would have been exposed long ago. Now, you've pushed all the responsibility away and are blaming this master instead? ]

"Well...then I don't want to either, but there's nothing I can do." Qu Xinzhu lowered his head, his voice so weak that it was almost inaudible.

The little one smacked his lips impatiently, not wanting to bother with her any more: [Since you haven't completed the system task, you must abide by your previous promise and quickly ask your male protagonists to contribute their luck so that this master can heal his wounds.]

"This..." Qu Xinzhu was a little embarrassed.

These men are all her favorites, and she can't bear to part with any of them.

[Stop pretending here! Didn't you also contribute to Xiu Qing and Yan Changbai's luck? Don't pretend to be a lover in front of this master.] The little one mercilessly exposed her disguise, with a tone full of contempt.

Qu Xinzhu bit her lower lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to attack Wu Chen.

[That's right, what are men? You want to be the powerful heroine. When you get to a high position and hold great power, you can choose any man you want.] The sharp voice of Xiaoyaer echoed in Qu Xinzhu's mind. Every word seemed to accurately hit the deepest desire in her heart.

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Qu Xinzhu's eyes, and the balance in his heart gradually tilted.

She thought to herself, if you don't make up your mind now, how can you get wealth, power and status in the future?

For the sake of that distant but extremely desirable future, sacrificing these men who deeply loved her did not seem unacceptable.

When I become successful, I will have plenty of opportunities to compensate them.

After making up his mind, Qu Xinzhu's eyes became determined and he immediately ordered his servants to call Wu Chen over.

As soon as Wu Chen stepped into the room, she couldn't wait to speak out her purpose without any scruples: "Wu Chen, you once said that you are willing to do anything for me. In that case, are you willing to..."

Outside the door, Mo Li, who had just returned from court, couldn't help but pause when he heard this.
