Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenfeng immediately dissuaded him: "No, Your Majesty, the invigilators for the spring exam have already been arranged. We will do our best. Your Majesty should return to the palace and have a good rest."
"I set the questions, so why not be the invigilator? If the Prime Minister wants to rest, go and rest by yourself." Xiao Shengxing directly shut him up and left him speechless.
Zhang Wenfeng, however, felt a surge of anxiety and tried his best to persuade him, "Your Majesty, invigilating is tedious, and some candidates may become restless. I'm afraid this will disturb Your Majesty. Your Majesty should..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes fixed on him, making him shudder. Then he said, "The Prime Minister is stopping me from invigilating the exam. Could it be that he knew about the selling of exam questions during the Spring Exam and is afraid I'll find out?"
Zhang Wenfeng was startled, his expression changing several times. He knelt on the ground and said hurriedly, "That is not what I meant. I know nothing about those things. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
Xiao Shengxing narrowed his eyes, a smile playing on his lips. "Of course I trust the Prime Minister. I believe the Prime Minister is definitely concerned about his reputation and would not do something that disregards the law."
Zhang Wenfeng was covered in cold sweat and nodded repeatedly.
"It is a blessing for the examinees that the emperor is supervising the examination. It is my humble servant who is stupid."
After saying that, Zhang Wenfeng added, "However, if the emperor wants to go in to supervise the exam, then I have to go with him. I have to look after the emperor's safety!"
"Then the Prime Minister will come along."
Seeing him say this, Xiao Shengxing withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and then walked into the spring examination hall.
Su Lijin also came to the spring examination hall and stood at the door. She waited and waited, but Jiang Su did not show up, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Why isn't Jiang Su here? He shouldn't be here. He's been preparing for the spring exam very seriously these days, so he should be waiting at the door long ago."
Seeing that time passed by bit by bit, there was less than half an hour left before the spring examination. Su Lijin could not wait any longer and disappeared at the door in a flash.
"Jiang Su? Are you there?"
Su Lijin came to the inn where Jiang Su was staying and walked outside the room while calling out.
As soon as she walked in, she immediately felt the murderous aura inside. Her brows furrowed and she kicked the door open.
In the room, Jiang Su's clothes were cut by a knife, and he was kicked to the ground by a man in black, and a long knife was slashed at him heavily!
"You're so brave to commit a crime in broad daylight!" In a flash, Su Lijin raised her hand, grabbed a bench and flew over, knocking the long knife that almost pierced Jiang Su's chest to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Su Lijin shouted loudly and started fighting with the man in black.
The man in black obviously did not expect that someone would come to save Jiang Su, and he was shocked, but at this time he had no knife, and after a few moves he was no match for Su Lijin.
Seeing that he could not win, the man in black made a feint and jumped out of the window to escape.
"Damn it!" Su Lijin chased to the window and clenched her fists angrily as she watched the disappearing figure.
Jiang Su, who was nearly killed, struggled to get up from the ground and said, "Forget it, it's too late."
Su Lijin naturally knew that if she chased out at this time, she would probably not find anyone.
What's more, time waits for no one.
Thinking of the spring exam, she suddenly shuddered.
Jiang Su had already grabbed her and said anxiously, "Hurry up, it's too late for the exam."
Before he finished speaking, he pulled her and ran wildly.
Finally, I arrived at the examination hall just as the door to the spring exam was about to close.
Just as he took a step forward, Jiang Su turned around and saw that Su Lijin didn't go in. He looked puzzled and said, "Come in quickly, the door is about to close."
Su Lijin moved further and further outside, as if she was about to leave.
She had a headache. How should she say that she would not take the exam?
"Don't dawdle, the exam is important."
Jiang Su suddenly rushed to her side, stretched out his hand and pulled her in. Before Su Lijin could stand firm, she heard the door close with a "click".
Jiang Su pulled her into the examination room without any preparation. Looking at the closed door, Su Lijin felt distressed.
What should I do? I'm not here to take an exam...
She wailed in her heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface.
When the spring exam was approaching, she also took a seat in the separate compartment for candidates.
But to Su Lijin's surprise, when she looked up, she actually saw Xiao Shengxing!
"Oh no, why is the emperor here?" Su Lijin's heart skipped a beat.
The man in a dragon robe standing on the exam platform could only be Xiao Shengxing!
Seeing the pair of black eyes looking over here as if they had sensed something, Su Lijin felt something was wrong and quickly lowered her head, trying her best to hide her presence.
Xiao Shengxing glanced at the crowd, his dark eyes paused slightly, and his gaze fell on the person who lowered his head.
Sister-in-law?
A hint of doubt flashed across his black eyes. Xiao Shengxing felt strange in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged and he did not expose it.
Now that she is here, let her be and see what she is going to do.
Retracting his gaze, Xiao Shengxing raised his hand. Everyone's eyes converged on him, and he said in a deep voice, "Today's spring exam questions were set by me personally, and will now be distributed to all candidates."
As he spoke, he waved to the side, and a eunuch brought a stack of freshly written examination questions and put them in the hands of each person, who then distributed them.
"What? The Emperor himself set the questions?"
Suddenly, whispers were heard in the examination room, and some candidates' faces changed drastically, and they seemed at a loss.
But in public, no one dared to question the emperor's decision. After the test questions were handed out, Xiao Shengxing asked someone to start counting the time.
Su Lijin looked at everyone's expressions and her gaze fell on Xiao Shengxing.
She nodded secretly,
Xiao Shengxing's move is a good one. Many real talents will emerge in this spring exam.
I turned my head to look in the direction of Jiang Su, and saw him holding the test paper excitedly, with joy between his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
The spring exam lasted almost a whole day. Su Lijin answered the questions casually, but she had to write enough words just to pretend. She was so tired that her back and waist ached and her fingers were cramped.
Su Lijin looked up and saw that Xiao Shengxing looked normal and had been sitting upright the entire day. She couldn't help but give him a thumbs up for his serious attitude in supervising the exam.
She wanted to see what was happening over at Jiang Su's end, but the voice announcing the end of the exam rang out.
Su Lijin hurriedly handed in the test paper, avoided Xiao Shengxing's sight, and followed the other candidates to leave one by one.
"Stop!" A loud shout rang out and everyone turned around immediately.
Su Lijin turned around and found an invigilator stopping Jiang Su. He said with a stern look, "How dare you cheat under the Emperor's nose!"
What? Jiang Su cheated?
Hearing this, Su Lijin was surprised.
