Her words directly slapped the Prime Minister in the face, and everyone gasped.
Everyone looked at her and shook their heads. If she dared to offend the Prime Minister, she would probably have no chance of survival in the future.
Jiang Su was shocked. Su Lijin had defended him several times, even at the cost of offending the prime minister. He really didn't know how to thank her.
Xiao Shengxing glanced at her with admiration, his tone filled with affirmation, "Indeed, Jiang Su has come out on top after my personal assessment. I have designated him as the top scholar, and he truly deserves the title."
The Prime Minister glanced at Su Lijin, a look full of deep meaning. He still refused to give in and brought up some excuse about the imperial order, which made Xiao Shengxing's face turn cold.
Xiao Shengxing sneered and waved his hand, and soon, a book was handed over.
Su Lijin watched, her mind turning slightly, and guessed a few points.
"This is a detailed list of exam questions purchased for this spring exam. It also contains records of various cases of people copying other people's answers."
Looking at Zhang Wenfeng coldly, the coldness in Xiao Shengxing's tone almost gave goosebumps to everyone present.
Zhang Wenfeng's face changed slightly, and he forced himself to calm down.
When did the emperor conduct the investigation?
He didn't even hear anything.
Thinking of this, an indescribable fear suddenly arose in my heart.
The others looked at the list with shock on their faces.
"Come here, arrest those who stole other people's exam papers in recent years, disrupted the fairness of the spring exam, and committed fraud!"
At a command, a team of palace guards rushed out from nowhere and directly pushed several examiners to the ground.
Su Lijin looked at the person on the ground in surprise, and her eyes fell on the list again.
She didn't expect that Xiao Shengxing not only solved the problem of selling test questions perfectly, but also investigated the old case thoroughly. Such thundering measures were truly shocking.
"You parasites, you're eating my salary and doing such heartless and foolish things. If I keep you around, you're a disaster for the people! I'll dismiss you all and investigate you. Those who should be convicted will be convicted, and those who should be demoted will be demoted to commoners!"
Xiao Shengxing's expression was solemn. After he finished speaking, he picked out a few people and said, "You will directly replace them and take up your posts today."
Zhang Wenfeng's face changed drastically!
Almost all of his people have been replaced!
Before he could come up with a solution, Xiao Shengxing looked at him with a heavy gaze: "Prime Minister, your governance is incompetent. I will deduct your salary for three years as a punishment!"
A spring exam triggered a series of changes. Su Lijin looked at Zhang Wenfeng's liver-colored face, and satisfaction was in her beautiful eyes.
Even after leaving the examination room, Jiang Su still couldn't believe that he had become the top scorer.
"Congratulations on being awarded the title of No. 1 Scholar by the Emperor himself!" Su Lijin joked with a smile.
Jiang Su's face flushed red, and he bowed humbly: "No, no, it's really Your Majesty's kindness that I don't deserve."
Su Lijin was about to make another joke when she was stopped by a eunuch.
"Please get in the carriage. The master invites you to have a chat."
Glancing at the carriage beside her, Su Lijin felt her scalp tingle. However, she actually had a premonition. Xiao Shengxing was so smart, how could he not have discovered it?
After getting on the carriage, Su Lijin's eyes flashed and she was pulled into someone's arms by a strong force.
Xiao Shengxing asked in a deep voice, "Queen, am I too good to you?"
Su Lijin smiled awkwardly: "Of course the emperor is the best emperor."
With a bitter face, Su Lijin apologized sincerely: "I am sorry for the kindness of the emperor, I..."
Before she could finish her words, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes.
Xiao Shengxing suddenly leaned his hands on the wall of the carriage, holding her in his arms, and looked at her with full of oppression. She couldn't say the rest of the words.
Su Lijin suddenly stopped talking and looked at the man opposite with her beautiful eyes.
Trapped between the car wall and his chest, she felt like a trapped beast, unable to escape.
But the two of them were so close that she could smell Xiao Shengxing's scent without even getting close.
Even if she listened carefully, Su Lijin could feel his light breathing.
Xiao Shengxing's black eyes were deep, and there seemed to be stars in them, which made people intoxicated. Su Lijin looked at them and didn't realize that she had fallen into those eyes.
With a "click", the carriage bumped, and the two men suddenly lost their balance and bumped into each other.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't mean to..."
Su Lijin wanted to explain that she didn't bump into him on purpose, but when she looked up suddenly, her delicate lips touched a cold and soft object.
When Su Lijin realized that it was Xiao Shengxing's lips, her brain suddenly lost control and she froze in place, swallowing the rest of her words in her throat.
Xiao Shengxing's thin lips moved slightly, and a pleasant scent immediately penetrated into Su Lijin's lips.
She blinked, and consciousness gradually returned to her mind. Something flashed through her mind quickly, and her beautiful eyes suddenly turned cunningly.
Stretching out her hands, she placed them on Xiao Shengxing's neck. Su Lijin's soft lips gradually pressed against those cool thin lips, and she actually kissed Xiao Shengxing intimately!
A light appeared in his black eyes. Xiao Shengxing froze for a moment, then he couldn't help but cooperate and became deeply immersed in it.
The sweet taste on his lips made his expression relax, and his big hand gradually fell on Su Lijin's head, stroking it slowly.
Seeing this, Su Lijin's lips curled slightly, and she suddenly stepped back a little, then asked, "Your Majesty, do you like it?"
She smiled coquettishly, her lips were as pink as flower petals, but there was a smug light in her eyes.
This is clearly a deliberate attempt to seduce me!
Xiao Shengxing instantly laughed out of anger.
Although he was still not satisfied with the kiss, when he thought about Su Lijin's previous action, which was actually to divert his attention, he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me this time?"
Su Lijin couldn't wait for his answer, and for a moment she was unsure of Xiao Shengxing's attitude, and felt uneasy.
She was really worried that Xiao Shengxing would keep dwelling on this matter. After all, it was really hard to explain how Xiao Shengxing had managed to sneak into the spring exam hall.
When it comes to punishment, she has nothing to say.
After all, the spring exam is a major test and cannot be taken lightly.
Xiao Shengxing stared at her with his dark eyes, remaining silent.
Seeing him like this, Su Lijin panicked a little and tried to test him more carefully: "Your Majesty, I will be more careful when I leave the palace in the future and will not let anyone notice."
She looked extremely cautious, as if she would not be able to let go of her worries unless Xiao Shengxing agreed.
As Xiao Shengxing watched, his heart softened.
Sighing secretly, he said, "Queen, what should we do if the people in the palace find out that you are missing?"
Su Lijin quickly raised her hand and promised, "I will definitely be well prepared and won't be discovered. Even if I am discovered, I will definitely find cover in advance!"
It's not that she can't hear the worry in Xiao Shengxing's words, and because of this, she didn't want to give Xiao Shengxing a perfunctory response.
