Xue Huaiyuan smiled faintly and said, "The spring examination is just around the corner this year. When I was Xue Lingyun back in the day, I had a few like-minded colleagues in the court. Now they have been promoted and are doing quite well. It shouldn't be difficult for me to participate in the spring examination. After being ranked as the top scholar, there will be the palace examination... Naturally, I will have the opportunity to meet His Majesty."
Ye Shijie said, "Do you plan to submit a memorial during the palace examination, or when you meet the Emperor?" The Ye Family is now aware that both children of the Xue Family have died under untimely circumstances, and they fear there may be grievances involved. Ye Shijie, quick-witted, immediately thought of this possibility.
"No," Xue Huaiyuan denied.
"Then why?" Ye Shijie did not understand.
