After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

The invigilator who helped Gu Boqing cheat, he did this more than once.

There were many candidates before who were framed by him and failed the exam. They all came from poor families and had nowhere to turn to after discovering the situation. Some of them didn’t even know that their places had been snatched away by others.

In order to cover up the truth, Gu Boqing and the invigilator killed many people.

Thinking of those innocent people who died tragically and the talents who were lost, the emperor was heartbroken and took out all his anger on Gu Boqing.

"Gu Boqing! The evidence is irrefutable. What else can you say?"

Gu Boqing looked at the evidence, sweat pouring down his face, his heart pounding. In an instant, he thought of countless excuses in his mind, but none of them could be refuted.

Tong Qi's evidence was so complete that it caught him off guard.

Seeing that the emperor was about to punish him, Gu Xingruo grabbed the third prince's arm, extremely anxious.

"You must think of a solution quickly. This is a capital crime! You must ask your father for mercy."

She didn't understand why things had come to this.

This passage is clearly not in the book. The Gu family has always been on the rise, and there has never been such a serious incident as cheating in the imperial examination.

It seemed as if some things were no longer under her control, and Gu Xingruo was extremely panicked.

The third prince observed the emperor's expression and saw his attitude.

His expression at this moment was obviously extremely angry, and he no longer had the look of watching a show as usual. He knew in his heart that it was useless to plead for mercy in this matter.

Gu Xingruo was still whispering in his ear, asking him to speak for Gu Boqing.

"It's useless! This is cheating in the Spring Examination. Who dares to ask for mercy? If I ask for mercy, it will probably implicate you, a married woman, and you will be held accountable as well."

After Gu Xingruo got married, he found that she became more and more bold and dared to ask him for mercy for any mistakes.

Regardless of whether it will harm his interests.

The freshness that they felt when they first fell in love has faded.

Zhao Lingzhou originally loved her simplicity and cuteness, and the fact that she was not contaminated by the world, but now he actually disliked her simplicity.

After hearing his words, Gu Xingruo felt guilty and looked at her father, not knowing what to do.

The emperor didn't want to waste any more words and said directly:

"Draft an imperial decree. There is irrefutable evidence that Gu Boqing cheated in the Spring Examination. Remove his official position, confiscate his property, and execute the entire Gu family in the autumn!"

The emperor's personal eunuch had seen a lot of big scenes, and when he heard that so many people were going to be killed, he bowed and agreed without blinking.

Gu Boqing sat down on the ground, his eyes out of focus.

He knew that he was really doomed this time, and even with the Third Prince around, he couldn't save him.

The Tianyuan Kingdom has always been very strict about the imperial examinations, otherwise there would not be a palace examination.

Before he had time to feel sad, he was taken away by the guards.

Tong Qi watched Gu Boqing being taken away, and he had the illusion that he was in another world.

He thought that he would be locked up in the dark mountains for the rest of his life.

I never thought that I would be able to clear my name and seek justice for myself during my lifetime.

He didn't cry when his name was erased, he didn't cry when he was betrayed by Gu Boqing, and he didn't cry when his foot was lame. But after seeing Gu Boqing getting the punishment he deserved, he could no longer hold back his tears and burst into tears.

He didn't expect that there really is justice in this world, but justice that is late is not called justice, it can only be called truth.

The emperor felt very uncomfortable seeing him like this.

"Tong Qi, I still remember your article clearly. You are extremely talented and a rare talent. I will restore your status as the top scholar, announce it to the world, and arrange a position for you."

Tong Qi kowtowed to the emperor with gratitude in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness and for not looking down on my current appearance, but... I am already in my forties, and I am really unable to do what I want. Besides, my face and feet are injured, so I can no longer serve as an official."

Tong Qi was happy when he heard these words, but when he thought of his face and feet, and what had happened in recent years, he had become disillusioned with officialdom.

The emperor sighed, feeling a little sorry, but it was indeed as he said, his foot was injured and there was a long scar on his face. The Tianyuan Kingdom had regulations that officials must have regular facial features and no major disabilities.

Besides, he had been delayed for so many years, and it was not known whether he still remembered his previous knowledge. The emperor did not force him and respected his choice.

But as an emperor, he felt guilty about such a serious mistake that occurred under his rule and wanted to do his best to make up for it.

"Are there any places you want to go or things you want to do in the future?"

Tong Qi thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I want to be a teacher and educate people in the future."

Twenty years of imprisonment had worn away his fighting spirit.

He thought a lot in the mountains. He thought that if he could escape, he didn't want to be an official anymore. He just wanted to be a teacher and live the rest of his life in peace and stability.

"Then how about this? I'll let you teach at the Imperial Academy. You don't have to lead the class, you can give lectures every few days. I'll talk to the chief priest about this, you can go find him directly."

He wanted to make up for it as much as possible, as many scholars tried their best to get into the Imperial College.

Tong Qi knew that the emperor wanted to make amends, so he did not refuse and gladly accepted it.

After the matter was settled and the palace banquet ended, Jin Yuanyuan ran to Tong Qi, stretched out her little hand, and handed him the two ceramic bottles.

"These are for you. This big bottle is for applying on your face and feet every day. This small bottle contains pills that can regulate your body. As long as you use Yuanyuan's medicine, your injury will definitely heal."

[He had been imprisoned for so long that his body was skin and bones. Later, he fled to Kyoto, and his health was seriously damaged. He could only use this mild medicine to slowly recuperate.]

Although the effect is slow, it is very good and will improve his physical condition, making him the same as a normal person, or even stronger.

After hearing Yuanyuan's thoughts, Jin Ruoyun also persuaded Tong Qi to accept it.

"Mr. Tong, please take it. Yuanyuan's medicine is very effective."

Tong Qi couldn't believe that Jin Yuanyuan, at such a young age, had such a powerful medicine.

I thought it was just more expensive than ordinary people's medicine, but no matter how expensive it was, his injury had occurred so many years ago that even if Hua Tuo were reborn, he would not be able to cure it.

But this was Jin Yuanyuan's wish, and he did not refuse.

He carefully put the medicine into his arms, then took out a copy of the Three Character Classic from his sleeve and handed it to Jin Yuanyuan.

"I've accepted your medicine and will use it well. I'm giving you this Three Character Classic as an introduction book. It's just what you need at your age."

Jin Yuanyuan took it and smiled politely, but she didn't want to study in her heart.

After all, she has lived for thousands of years, and the Three Character Classic is no different from knowing one, two, three, four, and five to her.

This was someone else's intention, so she showed no resistance and accepted it happily.

"Hehe, thank you Mr. Tong, Yuanyuan needs it."

Jin Ruoyun looked at the Three Character Classic in her hand, thoughtfully.
