Chapter 331 Xiao Chou is actually himself
The emperor listened to the constant complaints and dissatisfaction in his heart, and his brows were so furrowed that they could catch a flying insect.
He didn't believe that at such a critical moment, the system would not load the information for her, and he didn't believe that Lu Xinran didn't know the other party's identity.
What is she trying to hide?
Suspicion crept up on his face again, and Lu Xinran caught a glimpse of his expression with his peripheral vision, and felt annoyed again.
Every time I enter the palace, I have to make up some reasonable and logical thoughts to appease the emperor. It's really... too annoying.
[I don’t know the person’s name, and the booklet can’t be loaded without the name. What can I do? ]
[As the emperor, he was unwilling to give us some of the useful people around him. Now he wants to blame us for not knowing the identity of the stranger? ]
Two more complaints reached the emperor's ears, and he was stunned for a moment.
Having been following his own thoughts for so long, he had forgotten that the system required people's names to load information.
She didn't know the other person's identity, and it seemed that she really couldn't know the other person's specific information.
But...how did the Queen know the other party's information?
Shouldn't this be heard from her inner voice?
The emperor's mind was in a mess, and he always felt that one of the two was lying.
[That literary society has developed hundreds of members in the capital, and even leaked the exam questions to its members. This matter has spread like wildfire, and everyone in the court knows about it.]
[To find out who the leader of the literary society is, the emperor could just arrest an official who joined the society and ask him about it.]
[It's easy to ask about that person's identity, why didn't he think of it? Asking the two of us...what can we know? Song Junyan doesn't need to take the imperial examination. ]
emperor:"……"
He looked at the two people kneeling in front of him in a speechless state, and the feeling that he was being played by someone became stronger and stronger.
However, he couldn't find any fault with either the Queen or the two people in front of him.
Find an official to ask that person's identity, right?
Okay, he'll find someone to go into the palace and give a thorough explanation.
He narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, and immediately gave Song Junyan a look when he saw him.
It is not difficult to summon someone into the palace, but... he also needs a name!
Song Junyan lowered his eyelids, and when Lu Xinran pretended to look at him indifferently, he asked in a low voice: "Did you see any familiar figures in Ruyi Tower today?"
"Well, I saw a legitimate grandson of the Minister of Rites."
After getting the specific identity, the emperor asked Fu Hai to summon the Minister of Rites to the palace without thinking twice.
The Minister of Rites came in a hurry, and his official robe was still wrinkled.
During the time when the emperor was waiting for people to enter the palace, he calmed down and grasped the key again.
How did the last exam questions get leaked?!
When the question was asked, no one was in the hall.
After he wrote the topic, he folded it and put it into an envelope, then ordered Fu Hai to put it into the secret box.
He was sure that even Fu Hai had not seen the test questions he had set, so how did the questions leak?
[How else could it have been leaked? He must have forgotten the case at the Rong Enbo Mansion.]
[At that time, Zhao Jingtian colluded with the Minister of Rites Du Liang, and Zhao Kaiyan knew the test questions in advance. ]
[If Du Liang could sell the test questions to Zhao Jingtian, why couldn't he sell them to others? ]
[There was so much evidence at the time, and there was also Tao's blood-written testimony, but the dog emperor took it easy and let Du Liang go. Now I can't understand it... It's ridiculous.]
The sarcasm is slow but sure to arrive.
Just as the emperor tried to recall the past, Lu Xinran's sarcastic voice had already reached his ears.
Then there were the kind answers to questions. [The last exam question was made mysterious when it was asked, as if no one had seen it. But when Du Liang asked tentatively what the exam would be about, she couldn't wait to tell him the question. She told him the answer herself, so isn't that the answer?]
emperor:"……"
So, Xiao Chou is himself, right?
Amidst a series of inner thoughts, Du Liangming walked into the hall with a pale face and shaking legs.
At this moment, the emperor felt that the people in front of him were extremely unfamiliar. Which of these court officials were loyal to him, and which ones had other plans?
Once suspicion arises, it is like weeds soaked by rain in spring, growing wildly in an instant to cover the sky and block out the sun.
He stared expressionlessly at Du Liang, whose legs were shaking, and asked, "Do you want to confess now, or do I put you in the death row and have someone pry your mouth open?"
Du Liang fell to his knees with a thud, his face completely pale.
He kept kowtowing and saying, "Your Majesty, I only revealed the topic to Zhao Jingtian. I swear on the lives of my entire family that I really did not reveal it to anyone else."
Why did you suddenly bring up the last exam...
If Zhao Jingtian had not died in Lingnan, he would have sent someone to skin him alive.
The emperor sneered: "The lives of your entire family?"
What does he think this oath means?
In his eyes, the lives of his family members were no different from those of ants; he could crush them all to death with a flick of his hand.
"Who is the boss of Feiyuan Literary Society?"
Du Liang was at a loss, and his kowtow movements suddenly slowed down.
What is Feiyuan Literary Society?
Lu Xinran watched with satisfaction as the emperor shifted his attention to Du Liang. She had just let the system peek and found that the test questions of the previous subject were indeed leaked from Du Liang.
But Du Liang himself had no recollection of this because he was drunk on the day the question was leaked.
Since Yunsong wants to play with people's hearts and remain mysterious, he naturally won't expose himself to others too early.
With the help of some drugs and two girls in Chunfeng Tower, he easily figured out the questions from the previous exam.
However, she won't tell anyone about this.
Neither the dog emperor nor the Minister of Rites is a good person, let them fight each other!
Song Junyan knew that she went to such great lengths just to save the lives of the Yun family as much as possible. He restrained his expression, and his face was still full of confusion and a straightforward "Don't ask me, I know nothing".
In the Tang residence, Lu Xinlan was too busy to deal with Liu's questioning after returning. He knew that Yunsong's identity could only be kept secret for a while at best, and the Yun family would be implicated sooner or later.
She immediately wrote a letter and asked her maid to go to the Yun family in person and hand the letter to Yun Cheng personally.
The Yun family’s property is definitely gone, but as long as they have their assets, there will always be a chance for them to make a comeback in the future.
If Yun Cheng had been decisive enough and had not closed the city gates at this time, he would have had time to take his family out of the city and find a hidden place to escape the disaster.
She paced back and forth in the room, anxiously waiting for the maid to bring back news from the Yun family.
When Liu heard people talking about her strange behavior after returning home, her dissatisfaction intensified again.
This daughter-in-law...does she take her mother-in-law seriously?
