Several rounds of trials had passed, and those qualified for the next round seemed to be only the students from Jiangnan and Bai Su from the Northern Territory.

"Your Majesty..." Chen Baifeng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the still-well Emperor. At this moment, his greatest support was still the Emperor of Great Jin. As for Chen Qing, though they seemed to be in the same boat, it remained to be seen whether he could be relied upon in a crucial moment.
"Greetings, Your Majesty..." Chen Qing said with a smile as he saluted.
The Emperor looked at Chen Qing, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
This must be the second time they had seen each other since Chen Qing left the Capital City, right?
If there was one unexpected element in all the years of plotting, it was undoubtedly this young man before him.
