Chapter 209: The Plot



Chapter 209: Being plotted against

Xiao Yin called Xiao Yue to the Ren Zong Temple, and naturally asked Xiao Yue to bring Xiao Xi'er with him.

Zhao Hong randomly checked a few of the questions that the candidates who took the literary examination had submitted last night. The emperor picked out some and called Xiao Yue to come and look at them together.

Ci Xin and Prime Minister Lin Buhuai and others were already busy in the Ren Zong Temple.

This Ren Zong Temple is very large. It was a special place for imperial examinations in the past.

Hundreds of candidates came and all had a place to stay. Many people even lived there for a month after entering. They had all their food and drink expenses covered and did not have to go out.

Therefore, Xiao Yue took a carriage and entered from the side door. The carriage also circled inside before arriving at the center of the examination room.

Yesterday, baby Ruoxi had already looked around and remembered some people.

Last night, Ruoxi heard from her uncle that he seemed to have identified a few candidates who looked more pleasing to the eye, which was good.

Today, looking at the nearly 100 candidates, Ruoxi searched and searched...

"Well, why is there someone missing?" Ruoxi remembered that she saw two people who looked similar last night and said they were cousins.

"Oh, no!" Just as Ruoxi was twisting her head to look around, she heard a scream. She turned her head and saw a person running quickly behind the rows of places where the candidates lived, covered in blood.

"Stop, what's going on?" The guard immediately stepped forward and stopped the man.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good." The candidate cried, "My brother, he's dead!"

"Your brother is dead?" Xiao Yin looked at the man and nodded, "I remember you, you look very much like your cousin."

"Yes, Your Majesty, because our fathers are twins, so my brother and I look alike. We usually have a good relationship and play together. We all think we are twins." The candidate said.

"What's your name?" Xiao Yue asked.

"To your Highness, I am Chen Wensheng!" Chen Wensheng kowtowed and said, "My brother is Chen Wenbing. I woke up early this morning and went to eat. After eating, I brought two steamed buns back for my brother. Seeing that he was still lying, I went to pull him. Who knew that when I pulled him, his body split open. This blood, this blood..."

Chen Wensheng's hands were covered with blood, and his robe was also covered with blood. Looking at it made the people around him vomit.

Ci Xin stepped forward, raised his hand and dipped some of Chen Wensheng's blood on his fingertips. He looked at it carefully and then said, "This blood has been around for some time."

"Go up and have a look." The emperor turned to look at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu immediately led his men to the courtyard where the candidates lived.

Many people gathered together, and baby Ruoxi was held by Xiaoyue and moved away a little.

"My uncle heard about it last night. These two brothers are very talented and have always encouraged each other. Now, someone must have plotted against them!" Baby Ruoxi thought.

Xiaoyue nodded slightly. What her daughter said was the same as what she thought.

That must have been a plot.

However, the list has not been finalized yet, so how could anyone know who the emperor has chosen and want to plot against others like this?

The candidates were all taken to a spacious examination room and sat down, watched by guards.

Chen Wensheng was taken to a room alone.

Xiaoyue was holding baby Ruoxi in the sun in the patio outside the courtyard, and Xiaoyin stood beside her, waiting for Baiyu's results of investigation and questioning.

"Your Majesty!" Baiyu came over, and Dongju went with him.

"Chen Wensheng and Chen Wenbing lived in the same room, and Chen Wenbing should have slept inside at the time. According to the scars on the body, Chen Wenbing had an accident at 3:30 pm, and Chen Wensheng was having dinner in the lobby downstairs at that time. They were all talking about the final decision of His Majesty the Emperor today, and many people said that Chen Wensheng had the best hope."

Dongju reported the results of the inquiry to the emperor and the princess.

Bai Yu nodded aside: "This Chen Wensheng is usually honest and studious. He passed the examination and taught in the village for several years. This time he brought his younger brother here. It is said that Chen Wenbing is also well educated. Chen Wensheng has been recommending Chen Wenbing to his companions."

"It seems that the brothers are friendly and respectful to each other, which is really good!" Xiaoyue nodded.

She believed that this feeling really existed.

Because she and her royal brother were like this. Since she was a child, the royal brother would protect her at all costs.

"Continue to investigate." Xiao Yin walked to Xiao Yue and picked up little Xi'er. He patted his little niece and said softly: "My dear Xi'er, tell me, who is the murderer?"

Baby Ruoxi couldn't help but roll her eyes at her uncle, the emperor: "I am just a baby. To solve the case, even a god has to go through investigation and analysis. Oh... Jing'en is not here, it's over. Otherwise, the truth talisman is a good thing!"

Jing'en left and went west.

Ci Xin, that guy, seems to be able to draw talismans.

"Ci Xin!" Xiao Yin shouted.

Ci Xin came over and looked at Xiao Yin.

"You should also investigate this matter." Xiao Yin said.

Ci Xin glanced at the little girl in Xiao Yin's arms and raised her eyebrows: "I'll take Xiao Xi'er with me, otherwise, I'm scared to go alone!"

"What are you afraid of?" Baby Ruoxi rolled her eyes at this guy.

"I'm afraid of ghosts." Ci Xin grinned and said.

"How can Xi'er go to such a place? I'll go with you. Brother and Xi'er will stay outside." Although Xiao Yue knew that her baby was powerful, she didn't want her daughter to go to such a murderous place with a strong yin energy.

"Where's the old guy?" Ci Xin asked as they walked.

"Who knows his whereabouts!" Xiao Yue pouted. That guy has always been like this.

Baby Ruoxi was held by her uncle, and she was holding the kitten, squeezing and stroking it, and the little sun was shining. These little days are really good!

"Your Majesty, some of the candidates said that they saw the candidate named Gao Zhan who lived next door to Chen Wensheng and his friends had a bad relationship with Chen Wenbing." The guard came to report.

"I'll go check it out!" Xiao Yin thought for a moment and carried Xi'er to the examination room.

Baby Ruoxi was warmed by the sun and felt drowsy. She looked up at the candidates in front of her and pouted: "Among the candidates, there are indeed several with gloomy faces and evil spirits, but they have not reached the level of evil people, which proves that they did not kill anyone!"

Xiao Yin's brows moved. He seemed to remember that when he asked Bao Bao before, the little girl said that she didn't know either.

How come she knows now? !

This little girl also comes based on her mood!

It seems that I have to find some good things for Xi'er later to make Xi'er feel good.

Bao Bao Ruoxi didn't know what her uncle was thinking, but she was thinking about one thing: "Who did Chen Wenbing offend? Whose interests were affected?"
