Chapter 331 The clown is actually himself
The emperor listened to the constant complaints and dissatisfaction in his heart, and his brows were so tight that they could catch a flying insect.
He didn't believe that at such a critical moment, the system would not load information for her, and he didn't believe that Lu Xinran didn't know the other party's identity.
What is she trying to hide?
Suspicion crept up on her face again. Lu Xinran caught a glimpse of his expression and felt annoyed again.
Every time I enter the palace, I have to make up some plausible thoughts to coax the emperor, which is really... too annoying.
[I don’t know the person’s name, and the booklet can’t be loaded without the name. What can I do? ]
[He is the emperor, but he is unwilling to assign a few of his available people to us. Now he wants to blame us for not knowing the identity of a stranger? ]
Two more complaints reached the emperor's ears, and he was stunned for a moment.
Having followed his own thoughts for so long, he had forgotten that the system required a person's name to load information.
She didn't know the other person's identity, and it seemed that she really couldn't know the other person's specific information.
But...how did the Queen know the other party's information?
Shouldn't these be heard through her inner voice?
The emperor's mind was in a mess, and he always felt that one of the two was lying.
[That literary club has developed hundreds of members in the capital, and even leaked the last exam questions to the members. This matter has spread like wildfire, and everyone in the court knows about it.]
[The emperor could find out the identity of the person in charge of the literary society by arresting an official who joined the society and asking him.]
[It's easy to ask about that person's identity, why didn't he think of it? Asking us two... What can we know? Song Junyan doesn't need to take the imperial examination. ]
emperor:"……"
He looked at the two people kneeling in front of him with an indescribable look, and the illusion that he was being played by someone became stronger and stronger.
But unfortunately, he couldn't find any fault with either the Queen or the two people in front of him.
Find an official to ask about that person’s identity, right?
Okay, he'll find someone to go into the palace and give a thorough explanation.
He narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, and immediately gave Song Junyan a look.
It is not difficult to summon someone to the palace, but... he also needs a name!
Song Junyan lowered his eyes, and when Lu Xinran pretended to look at him carelessly, he asked in a low voice: "Did you see any familiar figures in Ruyi Tower today?"
"Yes, I saw a legitimate grandson of the Minister of Rites."
After learning the specific identity, the emperor asked Fu Hai to summon the Minister of Rites into the palace without thinking twice.
The Minister of Rites came in a hurry, and his official robe was still wrinkled.
During the time when people were waiting to enter the palace, the emperor calmed down and grasped the key again.
How did the last exam paper leak? !
When the question was asked, there was no one in the hall.
After he wrote the title, he folded it and put it into an envelope, then ordered Fu Hai to put it into the secret box.
He was sure that even Fu Hai had not seen the test questions he had set. How did the questions leak?
[How else could it have been leaked? Could it be that he had forgotten the previous case at Lord Rong's mansion?]
[When Zhao Jingtian colluded with the Minister of Rites Du Liang, Zhao Kaiyan knew the test questions in advance.]
[If Du Liang could sell the test questions to Zhao Jingtian, why couldn't he sell them to others? ]
[There was so much evidence at the beginning, and there was also Tao's blood letter as evidence, but the dog emperor took it lightly and let Du Liang go directly. Now I can't understand it... It's ridiculous. ]
The sarcasm will come late but surely.
Just as the emperor was trying to recall the past, Lu Xinran's sarcastic voice reached his ears.
Along with that came the kind answers to questions. [Although the last exam question was made mysterious when it was asked, as if no one had seen it, when Du Liang asked tentatively what the exam would be like, she couldn't wait to tell him the question herself. Isn't this the answer?]
emperor:"……"
So, the clown is himself, right?
Amidst a series of inner thoughts, Du Liang walked in from outside the hall with a pale face and trembling legs.
At this moment, the emperor felt that the people in front of him were extremely unfamiliar. Which of these court officials were still loyal to him, and which ones had other plans?
Once suspicion arises, it is like weeds soaked by rain in spring, growing wildly to cover the sky in an instant.
He stared at Du Liang, whose legs were shaking, expressionlessly, "Do you want to confess now, or do I throw you in death row and have someone pry your mouth open?"
Du Liang knelt on the ground with a plop, his face no longer showing any color.
He kept kowtowing and saying, "Your Majesty, I only revealed the topic to Zhao Jingtian. I swear on the lives of my entire family that I really did not reveal it to anyone else."
Why did he suddenly bring up the last exam...
If Zhao Jingtian had not died in Lingnan, he would have sent people to skin him alive.
The emperor sneered: "The lives of your entire family?"
Did he think that swearing like this would prove anything?
In his eyes, the lives of his family members were no different from those of ants and he could crush them all to death with a flick of his hand.
"Who is the boss of Feiyuan Literary Society?"
Du Liang was at a loss, and his kowtow movements suddenly slowed down a bit.
What is Feiyuan Literary Society?
Lu Xinran watched with satisfaction as the emperor shifted his attention to Du Liang. She had just let the system take a peek and found that the test questions for the previous subject were indeed leaked from Du Liang.
But Du Liang himself had no recollection of this because he was drunk on the day he leaked the questions.
Since Yunsong wants to play with people's hearts and remain mysterious, he naturally won't expose himself to others too early.
With the help of some sleeping pills and two girls from Chunfeng Tower, he easily figured out the questions from the previous exam.
However, she would not tell anyone about this.
Neither the dog emperor nor this Minister of Rites is a good person, so let them fight each other!
Song Junyan knew that she went to such great lengths just to save the lives of the Yun family as much as possible. He restrained his expression, and his face was still full of confusion and a straightforward "Don't ask me, I know nothing".
In the Tang Mansion, after Lu Xinlan came back, he had no time to deal with Liu's questioning. He knew that Yunsong's identity could only be kept secret for a while at most, and the Yun family would be implicated sooner or later.
She immediately wrote a letter and asked her maid to go to the Yun family and hand the letter to Yun Cheng personally.
The Yun family’s property is definitely not going to be preserved, but as long as they have their assets, there will always be a chance for them to make a comeback in the future.
If Yun Cheng was decisive enough and the city gates had not been closed at this time, he would have had time to take his family out of the city and find a hidden place to escape the disaster.
She paced back and forth in the room, anxiously waiting for the maid to bring back news from the Yun family.
When Liu heard people talking about her strange behavior after returning home, her dissatisfaction intensified again.
This daughter-in-law...does she take her mother-in-law seriously?
