Yue Lingfeng said nothing.
Yang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Then you'd better not know it. In fact, it was just the ministers' guesses. I just overheard it occasionally."
Yue Lingfeng: ...
Hongde Hall at this time.
Wen Yu pushed all the credit onto Jiang Qi and informed the emperor of the candied sugar incident, proving that the paper that topped the list was written by Yue Lingfeng.
She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Jiang Qi is worthy of being the Minister of the Dali Temple. He can accurately grasp the facts and clear Yue Lingfeng's name with just a piece of candy. It's amazing! My eyes on men are never wrong!"
emperor:……
He sighed: "Why do I feel like there are men everywhere that my sister likes? Is there no one you don't like?"
Wen Yu blinked: "There are a lot of people in the court who I don't like, right? I don't like the Grand Secretary, I don't like the Shengjing Prefecture Governor, I don't like the Minister of Rites, I don't like the Prime Minister... There are so many."
emperor:……
Wen Yu grabbed the emperor's hand and shook it: "Jiang Qi should come to report to you soon, my brother. You must restore Yue Lingfeng's title as the top of the list. Otherwise, with his stubborn temper, I don't know when I can completely control him."
emperor:……
He said with shame: "I thought my sister had already become successful, but it turns out..."
Wen Yu: ...
"Okay, okay, okay, I didn't expect you to be this kind of brother. You can even say such heart-piercing words. You have changed..."
As she spoke, she dipped her finger in the tea and smeared it on her face while the emperor wasn't paying attention: "Royal brother, the water of West Lake is my tears!"
The emperor took a look at the tea and thought that he couldn't drink it anyway because he couldn't prevent it.
He picked up the teacup, handed it to Wen Yu, and said jokingly, "I think your tears are not as deep as the water in West Lake. Please wipe some more."
Wen Yu: ...
At this time, Jiang got up.
Wen Yu took the initiative to speak: "Lord Jiang, you are finally here. I have already told my brother the result of my reasoning."
Jiang Qi nodded upon hearing this and said, "Your Majesty, the volume that topped the list was indeed written by Yue Lingfeng."
The emperor tapped the table with his fingertips, his eyes dark.
Since it was possible to replace the test papers, it shows how corrupt the Hanlin Academy had become.
The emperor said coldly: "Continue to investigate. I will definitely clean up the Hanlin Academy thoroughly this time!"
"I accept your order."
At this time, Wen Yu looked at the emperor with grievance: "Anyway, my royal brother, you must remember that you have hurt me, a hurt that cannot be repaired. I have to go back to sleep and mend my broken heart."
As he said this, he walked out of Hongde Hall hesitantly.
emperor:……
The emperor called her and said, "Didn't my sister say that she wanted to investigate the case with Lord Jiang?"
Wen Yu looked back, puzzled: "I've checked it, the test paper belongs to Yue Lingfeng, but I can't check the others. I feel like my brain is going to explode."
"What's more." Wen Yu blinked, "Yue Lingfeng is my man, so I need to avoid suspicion. I will leave the important matters to Lord Jiang. I am very relieved, and you, my royal brother, are also very relieved, and the people will also be very relieved."
As she spoke, she yawned three times in succession.
Seeing this, the emperor suddenly realized that Wen Yu had not slept for nearly two days and one night, and hurriedly said, "Royal sister, go back and rest quickly, don't exhaust yourself."
Wen Yu glanced at him: "You're caring about me again now? You're trying to comfort me? It's too late!"
emperor:……
Wen Yu said this and left the hall, taking Liuchun straight to the princess's residence.
After getting on the carriage, Wen Yu didn't say a word. As soon as she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep on the soft couch.
He muttered, "I have to get it back from Yue Lingfeng..."
Seeing this, Liu Chun took the blanket and covered Wen Yu with it, with a look of heartache in his eyes.
The princess was exhausted.
After waking up yesterday at noon, for the sake of Master Yue, he went to the palace to ask the emperor to publish the top-ranked paper, and then he reviewed memorials until the evening.
Because of the fire and the disappearance, he ran back and forth in and out of the palace until dawn.
He did not have a chance to rest after daybreak as he received news that Master Yue was filing a complaint with the Emperor in front of the main gate, so he hurried over to support him.
Then he continued investigating the case until now and only then did he close his eyes with peace of mind.
"Mr. Yue, you are so lucky. General Lu... doesn't even have this kind of treatment."
Liu Chun whispered, "Is this the legendary 'the crying child gets candy?'"
At this time, in an inconspicuous small courtyard in Shengjing City.
Ning Xuanyan, who had already left the princess's mansion, was lowering his eyes and wiping the soft sword in his hand.
"My Lord, the cheating in the imperial examination has been discovered."
Hua Yao handed a note to Ning Xuanyan, "It's that Wen Yu again. She was the one who asked the emperor to make the top-ranked scroll public, which led to the exposure of this matter."
Ning Xuanyan took the note and read ten lines at a glance. After a moment, he placed it on the candle and lit it.
He stared at the ashes and sneered: "Wen Yu..."
"My Lord, the Emperor will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. I'm afraid that the nails we have planted in the court will be pulled out, and all our painstaking efforts will be ruined."
"In my opinion, Wen Yu has repeatedly ruined the master's good deeds. We should find a way to get rid of her!"
Ning Xuanyan raised his eyes slightly upon hearing this, staring at her with a cold gaze: "Really? Then tell me, how do you get rid of it?"
Hua Yao was startled by the stare and said in panic, "It was my subordinate who overstepped the line. Everything is up to the master."
Ning Xuanyan stood up, looked out the window, and said with a half-smile, "What a man this princess is, what a beauty saving a talented man."
Hua Yao didn't say anything more. Ever since the master ordered everyone to evacuate Anxiang Tower, the master's thoughts have become increasingly difficult to guess.
From time to time he would stare out the window and sneer, and then return to silence.
At this time, Ning Xuanyan suddenly said: "I'm going out tonight."
Hua Yao was stunned: "Yes, my lord."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Xuanyan said, "Forget it."
It’s best not to see him. Recently, his heart has returned to its former calmness, which is good.
A gust of wind blew by, and the swing outside the window moved slightly.
The swing that was unfinished in the princess's mansion was finally completed here.
"Huayao, take down the swing."
Hua Yao was surprised: "Master, didn't you spend a lot of time making this yourself?"
Ning Xuanyan raised his lips in an unexplained arc: "No one is sitting here anyway."
