Chapter 1276: Chapter 1269: Don’t Be Afraid

Later, it was thanks to Lu Jin’s daughter, Lu Baohua, who learned of this matter and told her father, hoping he could lend a hand to Fan Yugan if possible.

Lu Jin kept this matter in mind and happened to meet Fan Yugan on the street the next day. Because Fan Yugan used to hang around with those playboys like Lu Yuanpeng, engaging in mischievous deeds, Lu Jin was acquainted with him. Lu Jin then stopped Fan Yugan and asked why he was determined to participate in the imperial examination.

Fan Yugan said... although Bai Qingyan spared his father’s life, his father was still imprisoned, and now his old illness had relapsed. He didn’t know how long he could hold on.

The prison guards knew his father was once a traitor of the former dynasty, and their relatives avoided associating with them to prevent being implicated. He wanted to ensure his father had a better life in prison, so he could only participate in the imperial examinations.

He didn’t expect gaining an official position would save his father, he only hoped that... once he had an official position, the prison guards might allow his father to live a bit better in prison.

Lu Jin reprimanded Fan Yugan, questioning how he could use his position for personal gain. If he was participating in the imperial examinations with such intentions, it would be better not to take part.

However, despite his rebuke, Lu Jin, considering Fan Yugan’s sincerity, mentioned this to Commandant Lu, hoping he could give Fan Yugan a chance by instructing people to go easy on him.

After all, Fan Yugan had a filial heart and was genuinely kind, not a deeply treacherous or malevolent person.

This time, Fan Yugan ranked in the second class, making him the best among Lu Yuanpeng’s group of playboys.

At the end of March, in the second year of Yuanhe, the united forces of Zhou and Yan Kingdom broke Yunjing City. The Emperor of Xiliang, Li Tianjiao, took poison and died for his country, ending the century-long reign of Xiliang in the southern region.

At this moment, Bai Qingyu lay by the window, feverishly delirious, calling out for his grandfather... father, and his brothers’ names, as if he had returned to the battlefield of the southern border that year.

Bai Jinzhao lay by Bai Qingyu’s side, constantly changing cold compresses for him, tears welling in her eyes, occasionally glancing at Doctor Hong, who was preparing medicine for Bai Qingyu while sniffing the medicinal dregs.

Little Seventh has not been found, and Fifth Brother’s fever won’t subside, making Bai Jinzhao’s heart heavy with worries.

Lying by the window, Bai Qingyu suddenly showed an extremely painful expression, his entire body stiffening abruptly, mumbling, "Fire... run! Don’t worry about me..."

"Fifth Brother! Fifth Brother, it’s Jinzhao! Fifth Brother... don’t be afraid, there’s no fire!" Bai Jinzhao could no longer hold back her tears, which flowed down unchecked.

"Elder sister, save me! Elder sister... save me..." Bai Qingyu weakly and powerlessly called out.

Bai Qingqi frowned, remembering when he found the charred remains of "Bai Qingyu" in the burnt camp, he turned and asked Doctor Hong outside, "Doctor Hong... why has Fifth Brother become hotter after taking the medicine?"

"It’s not Xiao Ruohai’s fault! Doesn’t he know that some medicines can counteract each other? If we hadn’t found the Xiliang Imperial Physician’s medicinal dregs for the Young Master, I’d like to see what Xiao Ruohai would have done!" Doctor Hong said, glancing toward the door.

Fortunately, Xiao Ruohai had the presence of mind to find the medicinal dregs prepared by the Xiliang Imperial Physician for Bai Qingyu after he passed out in the Xiliang palace, otherwise, even with Doctor Hong’s expertise, considerable effort would have been needed.

Bai Jinxiu wasted no time, finished speaking, then opened the curtain and took the medicine inside.

"Second Miss, this medicine is no longer necessary..." Doctor Hong, sweating slightly from exertion, said, "In the rush, I forgot to let someone inform Second Miss, I’ll personally prepare the medicine, thank you for your efforts, Second Miss!"

Bai Jinxiu glanced inside the room, casually placed the unused medicine aside, nodded, "Alright! Thank you for your efforts, Doctor Hong!"

Shen Kunyang and Bai Jinzhi also learned of Bai Qingqi’s current refuge in the Imperial Palace and brought people over...

Bai Jinzhi seemed very excited, this time they had extinguished Xiliang. Even though she hadn’t personally come to the Imperial Palace to finish Li Tianjiao and Cui Shanzhong, being part of this great battle already satisfied her.

As Bai Jinzhi, Shen Kunyang, and Cheng Yuanzhi entered happily, they encountered Wei Zhaonian and Zhao Sheng, who were clearing the battlefield, and upon hearing about Bai Qingyu’s situation, Bai Jinzhi rushed over immediately.

Bai Jinzhi hadn’t even arrived when her voice was heard, "Fifth Brother!"

In her usual brisk manner, Bai Jinzhi rushed in and landed in Bai Jinxiu’s arms, who was greeting her at the door, softly scolding Bai Jinzhi: "You’re already commanding troops independently, and yet you’re still so reckless!"

"Second Sister, Third Brother! How is Fifth Brother?" Bai Jinzhi glanced at Bai Jinxiu and Bai Qingqi, her eyes reddening.
