Helian Jing didn't know why Xiao Hechuan said that. Many of his actions seemed unreasonable and unfounded to him, but he was indeed a man of great talent.
Helian Jing didn't know where to start checking. After all, the Spring Examination was very strict and cheating was impossible.
But as the male protagonist, Helian Jing's brain is not for show. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the imperial examinations, and the test questions are selected by the Ministry every year. The Minister of Rites knows the specific test questions, and it is not ruled out that he will reveal the test questions to Guo Gan.
But even so, after passing the Spring Examination, they will have to take the Palace Examination, where the test questions will be set by their father on the spot. They can't guess the questions, right?
In fact, Xiao Hechuan also couldn't understand one thing. In this life, Helian Heng could not interfere in the Spring Examination and could not cooperate with the Minister of Rites.
In the previous life, when it came to the palace examination, because Helian Heng was there, there was a whole day to answer the questions. During this period, the emperor would not stay in the hall all the time, so they had enough time to have people write the answer sheets in advance and send them directly to Guo Gan.
In this life, Helian Jing is the one in charge. If they want to act like this, they will take a great risk. If they are discovered, it will not only be the Guo family that will be implicated, but even the imperial concubines in the harem and King Helian Heng of Chu will be to blame.
But Guo Gan still seemed very confident, and even declared to others that he would definitely be able to win the top three places in the imperial examination.
After much thought, the only possibility is that Helian Heng was also reborn. He knew what kind of test questions the emperor would ask, so he revealed it to Guo Gan in advance. The Guo family made preparations in advance, so they were so confident!
Last year, when the annual tribute was approaching, Helian Heng suddenly appeared in Jeju, and set his sights on Fang Miao, whom he didn't know before. He voluntarily gave up the right to be in charge of the annual tribute. This year, he lost the right to be in charge of the spring examination. It is said that the emperor gave him this opportunity directly at the beginning, but he voluntarily gave it up and gave the opportunity to Helian Jing instead, and strongly recommended him. This kind of operation confused many people, especially Helian Jing. He couldn't figure out if his eldest brother really took the wrong medicine. It was obvious that he was against him everywhere half a year ago, but now he gave up everything?
Xiao Hechuan knew that this was not a difficult matter. In the circles of Kyoto, there were only a few things that people talked about, and they mainly revolved around the court. You could hear people talking about it in any teahouse in the market.
Jiang Sui heard this when he was out playing, and told me when he came back.
All of this was too suspicious. The only thing he could think of was that Helian Heng was also reborn.
But after he was reborn, his mind was no longer on the fight for the throne?
…
Helian Jing really couldn't understand it. He didn't know why Xiao Hechuan said that and what his basis was. Where is the evidence?
He really couldn't figure it out, so he still took the risk and met Xiao Hechuan secretly.
Jiang Sui only knew that Xiao Hechuan was picked up by Helian Jing's men and did not come back until a whole night later. No one knew what he and Helian Jing talked about.
All I know is that after he came back, he drank a lot of wine. I heard from the secret guards around Helian Jing that in the first half of the night, the prince and Master Xiao discussed matters, and in the second half of the night, the two ordered drinks and got drunk.
Jiang Sui was very curious, what did he say to Helian Jing?
After Xiao Hechuan woke up, Jiang Sui made him some soup and asked him curiously, but Xiao Hechuan just smiled meaningfully:
"Nothing, I just told him that I had a dream!"
Indeed, when Helian Jing first called him over, he asked him directly why he knew so many unfounded things, including Fang Miao's matter and now Guo Gan's matter.
Xiao Hechuan told him that he had a dream, which seemed to be something he had experienced in his previous life. Helian Jing certainly didn't believe it, but Xiao Hechuan told him many details that were terrifying when he thought about it carefully.
Unless he had the ability to predict the future, he wouldn't have been able to tell so many details. After all, the two of them had never met before, so this dream was true.
The reason why Helian Jing got him drunk on a whim was probably because he was feeling lucky that God had given him a golden finger. With Xiao Hechuan around, his life would be much easier.
Now, since Xiao Hechuan said that Guo Gan had problems, then he must have problems. If he wants Guo Gan to confess himself, there is only one way...
…
There is still half a month left before the announcement of the results of the Spring Examination. During this time, Xiao Hechuan finally has time to accompany Jiang Sui to visit Kyoto.
Meanwhile, something was being quietly done in Marquis Xuanping's mansion.
In order to reassure his wife, Marquis Xuanping listened to her and prepared to investigate the birth that year. He gathered all the people who were present and interrogated them one by one about the details of that day.
However, this matter was carried out in secret. When the wife of Marquis Xuanping gave birth, there were a total of these people in the delivery room: two midwives, two personal maids, an imperial physician guarding the outer room, Nanny Xi, whom the wife trusted the most at the time, and several maids who were responsible for fetching and boiling water.
Except for Nanny Xi, who has not yet found out the news, everyone else has been found.
Only one midwife was found, and the other one had died two years ago of natural causes, so there was nothing suspicious.
Marquis Xuanping and his wife interrogated them personally. They all carefully recalled the details of that night and were able to connect the dots.
Moreover, those who had seen the child all confirmed one thing, that is, the young lady did have a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her left ankle.
But there was something wrong. Except for the imperial physician who was not in the delivery room at the time, the other maids serving in the delivery room all confessed something.
"Madam, you fainted from exhaustion right after giving birth. Nanny Xi ordered me to go to the kitchen to prepare some nourishing soup for you to drink after you wake up. It took me about half an hour to go back and forth."
"Chunlan went to the kitchen, and just as she left, Nanny Xi arranged for me to go find the imperial physician, saying that she wanted to ask him questions in detail. She said that Madam was weak, and that giving birth this time had consumed a huge amount of her energy, so she needed to be more carefully taken care of during the confinement period. She asked me to take a pen and paper and write down everything the imperial physician said. The round trip would take about half an hour."
This was the confession given by the two personal maids at that time. When the wife of Marquis Xuanping lost her beloved daughter, Nanny Xi suggested to the Marquis that the servants in the room should be replaced so that the wife would not see them all the time and be reminded of the sad things.
At that time, Marquis Xuanping felt that Nanny Xi was thoughtful, so he followed her suggestion and replaced all the people serving the lady at that time, except Nanny Xi herself, because she was the dowry nanny brought by the lady from her parents' home.
Based on the two maids' own statements, they found the old imperial physician of the time to confirm it, and it was proved that this was indeed the case.
But in addition to the midwife, there were also two wet nurses who came along.
