Chapter 795: God’s Will
After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Master Bai's face turned pale.
With a bloody forehead, he still wanted to save himself.
"Your Majesty, I..."
"No need to say more!" The Empress Dowager felt sad. She turned her head away from Master Bai and waved her hand.
After all, this was her nephew, and the Empress Dowager felt very sorry for him.
"Master Bai, please come in." Nanny Chen stepped forward and bowed.
Master Bai had no choice but to get up and limp out.
He was completely dazed, blood running down his cheeks from his forehead, and his knees were pierced by broken porcelain pieces, leaving blood stains...
However, as soon as he walked out of the flower hall, he saw Xuanyuan Jin standing in the yard with a cold face.
Master Bai: “…”
He shuddered and was so frightened that he almost came back to his senses.
"Third Prince..." Master Bai said timidly.
Xuanyuan Jin snorted coldly and said, "Master Bai is so bold! It turns out that in the eyes of Master Bai, the laws of the country and the majesty of the royal family can be toyed with at will!"
Mr. Bai's legs went weak and he knelt down again with a plop.
"I dare not!" Master Bai looked terrified.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Master Bai coldly. The strong sense of oppression made Master Bai almost unable to breathe.
"Hmph! Lord Bai, please remember this! There are some people that your Bai family cannot plot against! The price you family can pay is also not something you can afford!"
After Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned to walk out of the courtyard without going in.
Master Bai's heart sank into an ice cellar.
Who? The eldest princess? The Su family?
Or...the little girl from the Su family?
For some reason, Master Bai instinctively thought of Tang Bao.
In the flower hall, the Empress Dowager looked at Bo Yongqing, who was kneeling on the ground like a quail, and said angrily: "As a dignified chief examiner, you were easily deceived and did something that violated the laws of the court. This is simply an unforgivable crime!"
Bo Yongqing had a sad face and was full of grievances, but he didn't dare to defend himself.
Although he was the one taking the blame, he was indeed responsible for negligence.
People said it was the Empress Dowager's intention, so why did he believe it?
His first case!
He brushed me off so easily...
Bo Yongqing regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
"I will punish you by sending you back to your hometown to farm..."
"grandmother!"
A surprised voice interrupted the Empress Dowager's words about punishing Bo Yongqing.
Princess Huaning rushed in with a happy face.
Although she still had a veil on her face, her starry eyes and her out-of-control expression showed her excitement and happiness.
"Grandmother, Young Master Su Wu has won first place! The list has been posted!"
Princess Huaning excitedly announced the good news and didn't notice that there was a person kneeling on the ground.
The Empress Dowager: “…Ah?”
Bo Yongqing: “…Ah?!”
The Empress Dowager looked at Bo Yongqing.
Bo Yongqing looked at Princess Huaning.
Princess Huaning: “…”
I realized later that there was another person here.
"Grandma, who is this..." Princess Huaning asked in confusion.
"He is the chief examiner of this provincial examination." The Empress Dowager glanced at Bo Yongqing and said meaningfully.
Princess Huaning: "...Oh, so Grandmother already knew."
The Empress Dowager: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched.
She knew that the fifth son of the Su family had failed the exam.
Princess Huaning showed a look of sudden realization.
My grandmother must have summoned the examiner because of me.
Princess Huaning was delighted. She looked at Bo Yongqing and said, "Your Excellency, thank you for your hard work in presiding over the provincial examination."
Bo Yongqing: “…”
A face full of shame.
I dare not talk about the hard work, but I can’t keep my official hat.
It's time for him to go home and plant sweet potatoes...
wrong!
Bo Yongqing's eyes lit up and he almost slapped his thigh.
No matter how that Mr. Su won the first place in the case, he has won it anyway, right?
Isn't it just what the Empress Dowager wanted?
Bo Yongqing immediately felt that he was able to do it again!
"This is my duty, so I dare not say it's hard work." Bo Yongqing said righteously, and began to flatter him: "Mr. Su is extremely talented and well-educated. He is a role model for young talents of today. The first place in this case must be Mr. Su..."
Princess Huaning was naturally very happy to hear the examiner praising Su Laowu so much.
The Empress Dowager was naturally happy to see her granddaughter happy.
but--
After all, she is the empress dowager of the current dynasty. Even if she no longer cares about the world, she still has some scheming and vision.
If she didn't see the strangeness in this and Bo Yongqing's shocked expression just now, she would be a fool.
"Lord Bo!" The Empress Dowager said in a majestic voice.
Bo Yongqing's flattering words came to an abrupt end.
Woohoo...his sweet potatoes still need to be planted...
"Your Highness, I am guilty!" Bo Yongqing bowed his head to the ground and said, "Young Master Su's essay in this provincial examination was so brilliant and brilliant that it amazed everyone. He should have been ranked first. It was I who went against my conscience and succumbed to the authority of the Bai family and changed the ranking..."
"Empress Dowager, although I was confused for a moment and made a mistake, I still cherish and love talented people. That's why I wrote down the list of Young Master Su who ranked first in the imperial examination..."
As for why the notice appeared on the notice board after he put it in the drawer, Bo Yongqing didn't know.
Princess Huaning's expression slowly changed.
It turned out that Master Su had actually suffered such unfair treatment.
The Empress Dowager was surprised when she heard what Bo Yongqing said.
He murmured, "It's God's will... everything is God's will... It's God's will..."
At the end of his speech, a smile appeared on his face.
I don’t know why, but I thought of Tangbao.
In the past few days, she has learned a lot about Tang Bao.
After all, this is the little girl who is protected by his grandson like the apple of his eye.
At the same time, she was also the little girl she originally wanted to adopt as her goddaughter.
Although I can’t recognize her now, she is still my grandmother, right?
The Empress Dowager looked at Bo Yongqing and said, "Since this is the case, you still have a clear conscience. Perhaps this is an opportunity for you. I will not punish you severely, but you must remember today's lesson and abide by the law, be fair and honest..."
Bo Yongqing could no longer hear what the Empress Dowager said next.
My heart was already filled with great surprise.
Hahaha... He doesn't even have to go home to grow sweet potatoes...
Bo Yongqing felt like he had escaped a great disaster.
If it wasn't in front of the Empress Dowager, he would have laughed out loud three times.
Bo Yongqing himself didn't know how he managed to leave the Bai Mansion.
However, after leaving Bai Mansion and seeing the bustling streets, he immediately came to his senses.
"Quick! Go back to the inn!"
Bo Yongqing got on the carriage and gave orders in a hurry.
The driver whipped his whip and the carriage sped towards the post house.
There was chaos in the post station.
A group of servants were catching cats.
