It took more than an hour and a half to come up with a hexagram whose shape could not be distinguished. This was the first time He Gu encountered such a special situation.

Whether it was a success or a failure, he was confused for a moment.

Seeing that the deadline for the palace examination was less than three seconds, he quickly used the experience and skills he unexpectedly learned yesterday, and carefully sensed the Tianji hexagram plate with his mind and spirit.

After some careful consideration, a vague feeling of shame and apology, sadness and pity gradually returned to him.

Paradoxically, the meaning felt is always in a dynamic state of change, the meaning is ambiguous and cannot be locked at all.

But his intuition told him that this was the limit of divination!

The excessive mental energy consumption made his head hurt, he felt a little dizzy, and his face turned slightly pale for a moment.

His strangeness was quickly noticed by those who were paying attention.

The two Tianji Pavilion disciples who had no chance of winning the position in advance could not help but feel secretly happy in their hearts, while the two Imperial College disciples who had no choice but to pin their hopes on He Gu to stop him felt their hearts pounding.

The old Imperial Master was quite calm and understood that it was not easy.

Inside the curtain on the high platform, the Empress felt a trace of heartache and distress.

The last time she had this similar feeling was back when her biological sister was still alive and she was waiting outside the door to give birth to her baby.

At this moment, He Gu's figure perfectly overlapped with that of her former sister in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a touch in her heart.

In the corner, the cloud shadows are unclear, and the clear eyes are even more curious.

He Gu frowned.

He still couldn't make up his mind whether he felt guilty or sorry, sad or pitiful.

What's more, we only got a vague emotional description. The so-called "emperor's immediate concern" didn't even give a clue about the content and scope of the incident.

Secretly anxious, he couldn't rest assured of such rough results.

It was obvious that there was not enough time to conduct another divination, so he gritted his teeth and decisively used the fortune-predicting ability of the Tianji Stone.

At this point, he can only take another risk!

But in an instant, the air pressure became heavier, and the wind and clouds above the palace suddenly began to show signs of strange surges.

Hidden thunder is quietly brewing inside, becoming more and more abnormal.

The empress felt a sense of peeping for the first time. She suddenly raised her eyes, and her sharp eyes shot directly into the sky outside the palace with an invincible penetrating power.

Suddenly, an extremely dangerous tracking aura came back, and He Gu was suddenly startled.

There was an inexplicable strong feeling in his heart, and if he continued, he would be able to find out where his current body was.

Without hesitation, subconsciously stop in time.

In a flash, everything returned to calm, as if it had never happened.

The empress frowned slightly, her golden eyes moving slightly.

I clearly felt a sense of peeping just now, but in the blink of an eye it mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

This was the first time that she was almost undetected by someone since she carried the fate of Zhonghuangzhou Dragon Vein.

Who is it that has such great power that it can directly bypass the powerful shielding blessing of dragon vein luck and almost touch her fate?

She was puzzled.

The demon clan has become more and more active recently. Thinking of this, some emperors can't help but feel uneasy.

The old Imperial Master vaguely sensed it, and raised his head to look at the top of the main hall in confusion. For a while, he secretly sensed and distinguished carefully.

After a long time with no results, he thought it was an accidental misunderstanding, and then he looked away.

It was so late and so fast that no one else noticed anything strange.

He Gu felt an unstoppable panic in his heart, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to use it.

He has a clear understanding that he is not yet able to quietly peep into the fate of a powerful person with great luck like the Empress.

If he does it forcefully, he will only get the words of prophecy and at the same time the empress will capture the source of his aura, exposing his traces at this moment.

It would be fine if I were somewhere else at this time, but it would be absolutely unacceptable if I was under someone else's nose right now.

Right now, the only remaining way is ruthlessly blocked, and I am suddenly helpless.

There was a 1/4 chance of guessing right, so now he could only try his luck.

Different from the first-level audition assessment, the questions in this imperial examination do not come with relevant information for reference.

In other words, everything needs to be judged by the candidates themselves.

Three quarters of an hour passed by unconsciously.

With the solemn announcement from the old Imperial Master, the palace examination officially ended.

There was an open blank answer sheet placed on the short table in front of each participant. He Gu took a deep breath and wrote down the final answers.

On the opposite side, Tian Qian calmed down a little and started writing the answer.

The remaining two disciples of Tianji Pavilion looked frustrated and procrastinated a bit, writing down their respective answers very unconfidently.

The old master put away the answer sheets of the four candidates one by one, walked a few steps forward respectfully, bowed at the foot of the steps and presented them with both hands.

The power of space tore open a gap in the void, and a powerful yet extremely gentle golden spiritual power lifted up the four answer sheets in the hands of the old master and flew into it.

In the blink of an eye, four answer sheets fell on the imperial case inside the curtain.

Everyone in the audience held their breath, and for a moment, the sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the hall.

He Gu felt uneasy in his heart.

After all, he still couldn't deduce the details of the empress' recent worries through divination.

In the last moment, he just used a vague and tricky answer to forcefully increase the gambling odds from one-fourth to one-half.

As for whether his cleverness might lead him to deviate from the scope of the test questions, he no longer cared about it.

Tianqian held his breath and concentrated.

In fact, he was not able to divine and deduce specific things, but he just caught a glimmer of effective information that "should be related to a person" like seeing flowers in the smoke.

Other than that, I have no clue at all.

Since the empress was famous and her accession to the throne did not come naturally, he boldly speculated that this person would most likely be involved in the stability of the Dawu Dynasty.

After repeated deliberation, I came up with the theory of hidden dangers of traitors.

The other two Tianji Pavilion disciples were even more confused. They could only infer that the recent frequent movements in the Western Demon Territory had caused the empress' worry, and they did not have too many extravagant thoughts.

At this moment, they put their hopes more on their senior brother at the front.

Inside the mysterious golden curtain that exuded a noble aura, the majestic empress regained her composure and took a first look at her nephew's answer sheet.

When the beautiful emperor's eyes read the formal text word by word, he was suddenly struck by his thoughts, and couldn't help but fill up with mist and cry silently with joy.

[When light is invisible, trees have shadows; when a heart is apologetic, people are not ashamed.]

It seems that the author wanted to comfort him and added a short sentence at the end.

【It’s not too late to add time.】

Those few words of comfort became a great source of encouragement in the eyes of the empress, sweeping away her recent hesitation and hesitation.

Try your best to make up for it and become a firm and determined one!

Previously, after meeting each other on the street that night, her original intention of getting to know each other as soon as possible was greatly shaken.

It's not a change of heart, but a defensive move to take a step back from my nephew. I suddenly realize that the knot from back then has not been untied, and the rift in the relationship with the He family has not yet been healed. I am afraid that doing it in a hurry will be counterproductive and become irreparable.

Now she only has one potential relative left in the world, her nephew, and she doesn’t want to completely lose him!

At this moment, her nephew's answer gave her the support she wanted most, and most importantly, gave her unlimited hope.

There was no need to look at the other answer sheets. To be more precise, she no longer wanted to look at them.

He lightly moistened his red lips, and immediately announced with authority: "Examinee Gu Li's answer to one paper is the most relevant to the test, and it should be the best among the four papers!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed to varying degrees.

The two Imperial Academy disciples suddenly showed a little joy, while the remaining Tianji Pavilion disciples showed stiff disbelief on their faces.

Tiangan's somewhat calm expression suddenly froze.

After a moment of recovery, he suddenly became a little gloomy and hard to look at.

He never expected that the final victory would be taken away by the most inconspicuous and unknown person among them. It was completely beyond his expectation.

The thumbnail of the sleeve robe was dug into the flesh of the index finger, and it took a long time to slowly release it.

After all, this is the territory of the Dawu Dynasty, and it is not the two Imperial Academy students who win the championship. It is unjustifiable to say that he is partial. Even if he has a good status, it is difficult to raise any questions at this moment.

He Gu immediately relaxed his shoulders and exhaled slowly.

He immediately took a step forward calmly, saluted and thanked him.

Hearing the hint of genuine surprise in the empress's tone, the old Imperial Master was delighted and beamed with joy.

This means that the Imperial College under his control will have another capable assistant in the future. More importantly, with the addition of the empress's nephew, the Imperial College's status in the dynasty will undoubtedly rise to a higher level.
