530. Chapter 530 Marry Me, Okay?

Upon hearing that.

Shi Qing spoke up, saying: "I'm not worried about my body; there's nothing wrong with it."

The emperor ordered them to take Shi Qing's pulse again.

They all said there was no problem.

Despite that.

The emperor still felt uneasy.

He had the director and vice director of the Imperial Hospital each attend to Consort Yue and Shi Qing, with no problems allowed.

Compared to Shiyu, they...

Shi Lin couldn't bring himself to be happy. First, childbirth is dangerous; second, the empress doesn't get along with them, and knowing his sister is pregnant, she will surely cause trouble.

It could be seen that Shi Lin had something on his mind.

Not long after getting on the carriage.

Qiao Sheng took his hand and said, "If you're worried about your sister, just send a few more people to secretly protect her."

"That's all we can do."

Shi Lin went back to discuss with his parents, then selected six skilled individuals from the family's Dark Guard to protect her.

No one knew what the empress was thinking.

She didn't do anything at all until February.

February is the day of the imperial examinations, which include both the literary and martial tests.

Bu Yun planned to take this martial examination.

Before going to take the exam.

Bu Yun found Qiao Xuehua, gazed at her with deep affection, and said, "Xuehua, if I pass the Martial Scholar exam, will you marry me?"

"It's still too early."

Qiao Xuehua's face visibly flushed.

Bu Yun treats her so well.

She's not a stone; how could she not be moved?

Bu Yun had expected her to refuse, but hearing her say that, he happily hugged her: "Xuehua, I'm so happy."

"Put me down quick, or my mother will see us."

Qiao Xuehua patted Bu Yun's shoulder and said.

Bu Yun saw her face flushed, and as he set her down, he couldn't resist stealing a kiss.

"You..."

Qiao Xuehua glared at him, embarrassed and angry.

Bu Yun curled his lips and said, "Or why don't you kiss me back?"

"You're dreaming."

"I'm ignoring you."

Qiao Xuehua hurried toward the front courtyard, and Bu Yun chased after her, saying, "Okay, okay, I was wrong; I won't do that again, will I? After we get engaged, I'll kiss you again…"

Qiao Sheng originally thought their progress was already quite fast.

Little did she know.

Yin Li's progress with Cheng Jingyu was even faster.

February 12.

Yin Li shyly told Qiao Sheng that she was going to get engaged to Cheng Jingyu.

"Ah…"

Qiao Sheng looked astonished.

Yin Li laughed and said, "I never expected this either, that I'd get this far with Cheng Jingyu, but Sister Qiao, I've realized I really like him now—I can't help but think of him when we're apart…"

She's always been straightforward; once she decided she liked him, she had no more hesitation.

Qiao Sheng asked Yin Li, "You said you're getting engaged—does your grandmother know about this?"

Yin Li didn't hide it from Qiao Sheng, telling her honestly, "I've written a letter to my grandmother; she should be on her way to the Imperial Capital now."

They chatted for only a short while.

The gatekeeper came to report that Shi Yun's grandmother, Lady Ouyang Zhi, had arrived in the Imperial Capital and was now staying at a separate residence.

Yin Li curiously asked, "Who is Lady Ouyang Zhi?"

A brief introduction was given.

Qiao Sheng took Yin Li out of the house.

They rode in a carriage.

Not long after, they arrived at the separate residence.

As soon as they arrived, they heard that Lady Ouyang Zhi's condition was not good.

Qiao Sheng's expression changed, and she strode inside.

Yin Li quickly followed.

Lady Ouyang Zhi was lying in the guest room; upon seeing Qiao Sheng arrive, she propped herself up and said, "Qiao girl, you've finally come. Who is this?"

She said this while noticing Yin Li who had come along.

After Qiao Sheng finished the introduction, she pulled over a stool, sat beside the bed, and asked, "Grandmother Ouyang, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unwell?"

Lady Ouyang Zhi opened her mouth but hadn't uttered a word before she spat out a mouthful of blood.
