Facing five extremely synchronized gazes, Wen Yu did not feel at all intimidated.
She clapped her hands and said, "What are you looking at? I have been searching for beauty among the crowd for thousands of times, and when I look back, that person is none other than this princess."
She said this and greeted everyone enthusiastically.
"My Lord Temple Minister, it's been a long time since we last met. I missed you so much. I saw you are still wearing your official uniform."
Jiang Qi: ...
"My Lord Prime Minister, one day without seeing you is like one day without seeing you!"
Lin Yuzhi: ...
"Grandmaster, has it been a while since we last met? Why did you look so different? Oh, if I had known it would be so heart-wrenching, I would have never met you in the first place!"
Grand Secretary: ...
"Master Shangshu... Never mind. I'm not that familiar with you."
I was inexplicably nervous about what Wen Yu would say to him. Minister of Rites: …
Although being greeted by the eldest princess is not a good thing, why does it become unfamiliar to him?
The Minister of Rites was a little depressed.
Everyone has it except him. Even if it is not a good thing, the gap is huge.
At this time, Wen Yu winked at Yue Lingfeng who was kneeling.
"Hey, what a coincidence, we just met."
Yue Lingfeng: ...
Jiang Qi lowered his eyes when he heard that.
Lin Yuzhi's face looked indifferent.
The emperor held his forehead and said, "Imperial sister..."
"Hey, my royal brother, I haven't seen you for a while. You have become even more handsome!"
emperor:……
He waved his hand helplessly, signaling the palace servant to let him sit.
"I also heard about the heroic deeds that my sister did just now outside the main gate while sitting in the palace."
It was not just something I heard about it, the palace servants described it in vivid detail.
When the four ministers in the hall heard this, their faces all looked very interesting, each with a different expression.
Compared to them, the emperor was very calm.
What about the remarks like "it's not righteous but stupid", what about forcibly tying people into the palace, what about kissing them in public, and what about the gossip directed at her.
It seems outrageous, but this is what the royal sister usually does.
If she really let Yue Lingfeng roll off the nail board, he might be surprised. When did the imperial sister ever behave herself?
If the rules were really followed and people were dead, I'm afraid that this Hongde Hall would stage a series of dramas such as people cutting wrists with silver bills, hanging themselves with noodles, and hitting their heads with tofu.
As the emperor thought about it, he suddenly stared at Wen Yu and sighed.
There is no way. I only have this one imperial sister, and I am so happy that I can't bear to see her unhappy. What's more, as the emperor, I can give my imperial sister the most unique love in the world.
Wen Yu noticed the emperor's gaze and looked at him puzzledly, as if asking, "What are you looking at?"
emperor:……
Wen Yu sat down slowly and picked up the teacup to moisten her throat.
Then he nodded seriously and said, "You are right, my brother. It is indeed a heroic act. A princess saving a beautiful girl. How romantic! It is so wonderful that it can be written into a play."
"I think it should be called "Invincibly Intelligent, Beautiful and Generous·The Princess·Save·Talented but Tragically Murdered·Mei Ji"?"
Everyone: ...
emperor:……
Seeing the emperor was silent, Wen Yu touched her chin and said, "Is the name not good? How about calling it "The Imperial Petition: The Secret Redemption of the Beautiful Talented Scholar and the Amorous Princess"? It's literary and romantic~"
The hall was suddenly so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
At this moment, the protagonist Yue Lingfeng seemed to have been struck by lightning.
"Hmm? Why aren't you talking? Then change someone else, call him..."
The emperor saw that Wen Yu was about to speak, so he interrupted her: "Royal sister, please stop shouting."
He was afraid to hear more names that would hurt his ears.
The emperor coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Why are you late, sister?"
Wen Yu immediately looked righteous upon hearing this: "Royal brother, justice can be late, so why can't I be late? By the way, how far has this lawsuit progressed?"
As soon as Wen Yu finished speaking, a palace maid ran in and reported, "Your Majesty, I was ordered by Your Majesty to go to the Hanlin Academy to retrieve the examination papers, but...but the examination papers of this year's candidates were accidentally burned by Yang Hanlin. He is kneeling outside the palace to apologize."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor suddenly laughed at an inappropriate time.
"What a burn! You have such a long hand." The emperor looked at the Grand Secretary with a sharp gaze, "Grand Secretary, when did my Imperial Academy become a sieve?"
The Grand Secretary turned pale and knelt on the ground tremblingly: "This old minister has failed in his duty, please calm down, Your Majesty."
But there was no anger on the emperor's face, and he even curled up the corners of his mouth.
However, the air in the hall suddenly solidified as if it were a substance and was shrouded in a thick haze.
The palace servants in the hall immediately knelt on the ground, trembling and silent.
Those who have served for a long time know that this is a sign of the emperor’s thundering wrath.
It is no lie that when the emperor is angry, millions of people will die.
After the Grand Secretary knelt down, the Minister of Rites also knelt down with a plop.
Originally he was quite calm, and even thought about why Wen Yu greeted everyone but just said forget it when it came to him.
After all, a clean person is innocent. He has never been partial to or cheated in the imperial examinations, so he is not afraid of the emperor's investigation.
But as a co-examiner in the Spring Examination, the chief examiner admitted that he had failed in his duty, so he could not escape the responsibility for failure and could only kneel down with him.
Lin Yuzhi and Jiang Qi still stood straight.
Wen Yu looked at the emperor, and his voice boomed. This must be the legendary SSR-level domineering aura!
It’s rare to see my younger brother act like this. It seems he is very angry.
I'll have to make something delicious for him when I get the chance.
The emperor said in a deep voice: "Bring Yang Hanlin here."
Originally, Yue Lingfeng reported the imperial examination cheating to the emperor. This matter was simple, just take out the ink scroll and the truth will be revealed.
After all, cheating is a matter of great importance. Whether it is cheating or not still needs to be carefully investigated and compared before a judgment can be made.
But the ink scroll was burned at such a critical moment, which confirmed that there was indeed something fishy in the imperial examination.
The mastermind behind the scenes had no other options but to resort to this risky move.
However, although this move is risky, the chances of winning are very high.
The most fundamental evidence was directly destroyed. Once the clues were cut off, how could the case be concluded based solely on Yue Lingfeng's words?
It’s just that I don’t know whether Yang Hanlin, who burned the ink scroll, was sacrificing the rook to save the king or was simply an unlucky guy who was pushed out to take the blame.
etc……
Wen Yu blinked, Yang Hanlin?
