Wen Yu's words were enlightening.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with what I said...
The ministers had long been accustomed to the imperial sister's absurd behavior.
The emperor looked at the ministers who were absorbing knowledge very diligently, and he was actually looking forward to it. It must be very interesting to see what expressions they would have when they found out that there was no exam and that the imperial sister was fooling them.
Lu Ren saw Wen Yu's playful expression from afar, and his heart became clear as a mirror.
Looking at Yue Lingfeng and Jiang Qi again, it was obvious that they both realized that this was the princess's trick.
Ning Xuanyan had been watching carefully before and was confident that he could answer all of them correctly. However, this time, as a woman could not squeeze in, he simply stopped watching and stood together with Lu Ren and the other two.
Three people: ...
Only then did Jiang Qi look seriously at Ning Xuanyan, who was dressed as a woman. Thinking of how he had sneaked into the princess's mansion in this appearance before and stayed with the princess for a long time under the guise of a personal maid, his face couldn't help but turn cold.
Lu Ren's expression was naturally not much better. Seeing Cui Xin's appearance, he naturally recalled the scene when he was interrupted repeatedly when he was alone with the princess in the princess's mansion.
He and the princess took a bath together for the first night, and he boldly broke in and even stared at the princess while she was bathing.
Thinking of his eyes that day, Lu Ren clenched Ji Yue in his hand and stared at him coldly.
Ning Xuanyan chuckled, with a fearless tone: "What's with that expression on your face? Wen Yu brought me here today, and you want to fight me? Aren't you afraid that she will be unhappy?"
For a moment, there was a sense of tension.
At this time, Yue Lingfeng, who had been silent all this time, smiled slightly, and said in a gentle manner: "Miss Cui Xin, you are really joking. How can the three of us bully a woman like you?"
Ning Xuanyan: ...
Yue Lingfeng continued, "Besides, we can all see who is more important in the princess' heart. At least the princess would never use the word "beat to death" on the three of us, but it's different for you."
Ning Xuanyan:?
"If you and General Lu really come into conflict, you should know which side the princess will stand on."
Ning Xuanyan: ...
Yue Lingfeng spoke gently, smiled gently, and then nodded gently.
Ning Xuanyan narrowed his eyes, seeming to be somewhat disdainful, but in fact he was very stubborn: "I don't care which side she stands on."
At this time, Jiang Qi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Let's not talk about this for now, can you beat General Lu?"
Ning Xuanyan: ...
He sneered: "He looks like he's going to hit me, Wen Yu, you have to be reasonable."
Lu Ren didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly curled his lips: "When has the princess ever been reasonable?"
Ning Xuanyan: ...
He just didn't believe that Wen Yu would really be biased.
At this moment, not far away, Lin Yuzhi was standing outside the exhibition board.
"Mr. Prime Minister, please come closer and take a look."
"No need, the truth is already known to me."
Upon hearing this, the minister immediately cast a look of admiration towards Lin Yuzhi.
Like Lu Ren and the others, Lin Yuzhi had long understood that the examination was just a means for Wen Yu to win over the ministers.
However, although he knew the truth, he did not expose it, leaving these ministers in the dark and trying hard to memorize the contents of the exhibition board.
His eyes fell on Wen Yu. She was far away and he couldn't see clearly, but he could still see that Wen Yu was leaning lazily in the chair, looking bored.
He could even clearly picture the vivid expression on Wen Yu's face in his mind.
Lin Yuzhi raised the corners of his lips slightly.
A minister nearby saw this, tugged at the sleeve of another minister, and whispered, "Look, the Prime Minister is actually smiling. It seems that he is confident about this exam."
When the minister who was being pulled looked over, Lin Yuzhi had already retracted the arc of his mouth, "Did you see it wrong? The Prime Minister doesn't laugh easily. If he laughs, it means someone is going to be unlucky. Did you see it? Are you going to be unlucky?"
“…I didn’t see it.”
Time passes quickly.
The ministers were now watching with great concentration, and the expressions on their faces became increasingly complicated because of the content.
At this time, the emperor also summoned everyone back to the center of Baicao Garden.
Is the exam about to start?
The ministers had different expressions, some were confident, while others were worried.
The emperor had always let Wen Yu do what she wanted. He only needed to be a good backer for his sister. But at this moment, he spoke up: "My dear ministers, as the saying goes, knowledge gained from books is always shallow. I have arranged a big show for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial guards carried a large iron cage onto the stage.
Locked in the iron cage was a person who could not be distinguished as a man or a woman. The person was wearing death row inmate clothes, his eye sockets were sunken, his cheeks looked as if the energy had been sucked out, and he was so skinny that it seemed like his bones would break with the slightest bend. His hair, as dry as straw, was matted together and was so sparse that it was only the size of a fist.
She curled up as if asleep.
The person in the cage was Alice, the Princess Xili who was once so arrogant that she even threatened to take down Dasheng and made Lu Ren kneel on the ground to beg her.
Seeing this, Wen Yu's hand holding the teacup paused slightly. Although she knew who this person was, she was still shocked by her appearance.
In less than half a year, she had become like this.
Opium is not enough to achieve this level.
The toxicity of this drug can even be compared with modern drugs of extremely high purity. It seems that the raw material, dimethoate, is much more toxic than opium poppy.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu couldn't help but turn cold.
Although Alice looked very miserable at this moment, Wen Yu could not muster any sympathy for her.
She is not a saint. As the saying goes, you should give people a taste of their own medicine. You will reap what you sow.
If you want to do something to others, you must be prepared and determined to bear the backlash.
If it weren't for the fact that Xili wanted to use something as vicious as Jiapian to deal with Dasheng, how could a good princess of Xili come to this point?
Although there is no pity, there is still emotion.
