Chapter 301 The King Suspects Someone is Cheating
Upon hearing this, Liu Qianyin quickly turned around to look at the source of the sound.
The man was dressed in azure official uniform and had a handsome face. He was walking slowly towards her.
She seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and immediately knelt upright, "Your Highness, I want to accuse my cousin of scheming against me. In order to get a top spot, he wants me to lose the opportunity to run for election. I beg Your Highness to handle this impartially and not let this villain succeed!"
Liu Qianyin was actually not sure whether Song Yunchu would help her.
After all, Prince Ning had a feud with his grandfather in the past.
But now she couldn't see any other examiners, so she could only ask King Ning for help. Putting aside the previous grudges between King Ning and his grandfather, as an examiner of the Selection Conference, he had the obligation to maintain fairness and punish those candidates who used despicable means.
If he was unwilling to do justice, she would ask someone else.
Song Yunchu looked at the helpless yet stubborn face in front of him and said gently, "Miss Liu, please stand up and talk."
Liu Qianyin stood up with the help of Honglian.
A few feet away, Liu Xin looked at this scene and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Why did Song Yunchu show up at this time?
The other examiners haven't arrived yet, and this person happened to show up at this time, which is very disadvantageous for him.
But on second thought, he didn't need to worry too much about being exposed.
Although Ayin guessed correctly, it was all just her speculation and she could not produce any evidence. Even if King Ning felt pity for her and wanted to help her, he had to provide evidence, right?
In such a grand occasion as today, even King Ning cannot punish a candidate who has entered the final selection without any reason.
He was not worried that Prince Ning would send people to the Liu family to investigate. After a night, there was no trace left.
Even if the elders of the Liu family really suspected him, he did not have someone poison A-Yin, he just made her disqualified from the competition, so they would not blame him too much.
The Liu family knows who is more important between him and Liu Qianyin, and they will definitely protect him after weighing the pros and cons.
Song Yunchu looked at Liu Qianyin's trembling appearance, with a trace of inquiry on his face, "Miss Liu's hands..."
"That's exactly what I want to tell you, Your Highness. My cousin and I both made it to the final round of the exam. I was second and he was fourth. A few days ago, my cousin asked me to give way to him because I had also won high places in other competitions. He asked me to consider helping him out, but I refused. When I woke up this morning, my hands and feet were numb and shaking, and I couldn't write. It must be my cousin's doing!"
Liu Qianyin expressed her dissatisfaction to Song Yunchu, and Liu Yin immediately stepped forward to refute her.
"Your Highness, please don't trust her easily! I have never told her that I want her to give in to me. On the contrary, I have always admired Ah Yin's talent. It's just that I had a dispute with her before, which made her bear a grudge. Now she doesn't know what disease she has that affects her writing, but she wants to blame it on me. I will never let her slander me!"
"Your Highness, he is lying!" Liu Qianyin was amused by Liu Yan's rebuttal, "My maid can prove that he did come to me to discuss the matter before."
"Your maid has been with you for many years. Even if you slander me with empty words, she will only side with you. What kind of witness is this? If you, Ah Yin, think that your confidants can also testify, then my followers can also prove that I never said those words."
"Well, you two have your own opinions, and I cannot listen to one side of your story."
Song Yunchu interrupted their argument and said, "The most urgent thing is to treat Miss Liu first so that she can participate in the competition smoothly. Honglian, go and invite Miss Jiang."
Liu Qianyin was stunned.
She hadn't originally expected to be able to participate in the competition, she just wanted to seek justice for herself.
Prince Ning was referring to Miss Jiang, who had won the first place in the piano examination. She had long heard that Miss Jiang had superb medical skills and had cured many difficult and complicated diseases.
This undoubtedly gave her hope. But there was not much time left before the test began...
"Your Highness, is it still too late?" Liu Qianyin asked subconsciously, "If it's too late..."
"Let Miss Jiang take a look at it for you first."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
Honglian quickly invited Jiang Rumin over.
Jiang Rumin took Liu Qianyin's pulse and asked her, "Ms. Liu, have you accidentally eaten wild mushrooms or unknown wild fruits recently?"
"Absolutely not." Liu Qianyin said firmly, "I haven't left the house for nearly half a month, and my family's cook has always taken care of my meals."
"That means the food you ate was mixed with these things." Jiang Rumin said, turning to look at Song Yunchu, "Your Highness, I have a way to treat Miss Liu. Please arrange a clean room for her."
Song Yunchu asked Honglian to take them away, and then gave orders to Bai Zhu.
"Take your men to the Liu family and investigate Miss Liu's diet over the past two days. If you find anyone acting suspiciously during the investigation, arrest them immediately."
After Song Yunchu finished speaking, he turned to look at Liu Xin.
Liu Xin bowed to her and said, "Thank you for helping me, Your Highness. It's been a pain for you."
"Your Majesty ordered me to be the examiner. If a candidate is ill, it is my duty to lend a hand. But you, Master Liu, don't mind Miss Liu arguing with you and still care about her so much. You are really a good brother."
"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment." Liu Xin looked at the smile on Song Yunchu's lips, and for some reason, he felt a chill in his heart.
"Young Master Liu, please go back and wait patiently. I am looking forward to your performance later."
Song Yunchu left a few words lightly and turned back to the examiner's seat.
Soon, the other examiners arrived one after another.
Liu Xiang naturally noticed that Liu Qianyin was absent.
There are only ten finalists, and any one missing will be very noticeable.
"Master Liu, are you looking for Miss Liu? Miss Liu is feeling unwell right now, and Miss Jiang is treating her. You don't have to worry."
When Liu Xiang heard this, his heart tightened immediately, "What happened to Yin'er?"
"This is about your family affairs, so I can't just guess. I have already sent someone to your house to investigate. I believe there will be a result soon."
Liu Xiang immediately frowned.
"This is an emergency. Sir Liu, please don't blame me for not saying hello to you. We are here to uphold justice. Young Master Liu may have violated a rule of the conference. As his family member, it is best for you not to interfere in this matter, lest others say that you value your grandson more than your granddaughter."
Liu Xiang's heart tightened——
Judging from what Prince Ning said, could it be that Yin'er's "illness" is related to Yan'er?
If this is true...
No, hopefully not.
Time passed little by little, and it was almost time for the exam. Ye Fengmian turned around and asked Song Yunchu, "Your Highness Prince Ning, what is the time..."
"Delay." Song Yunchu said calmly, "Give some cushions to the candidates and ask them to sit and wait. This king suspects that someone cheated in the test, so we need to wait for a definite result."
