After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

Chu Ningyun noticed from the beginning that there was a vague gaze lingering around her, but when she looked for it, it was gone.

At first she thought she was being too paranoid, and in the second half almost everyone's attention was focused on her and Shen Jun, the two dark horses who broke through the siege.

She was hoping for a lucky break, thinking that today she would be able to show off all she had learned throughout her life, but she never expected that she would fail in the end.

However, it was worth her trip to compete with all the learned people in such an occasion!

However, since she dared to disguise herself as a man and conceal the truth to participate in this selection, how could she not have a way out or a backup plan?

Even if she didn't consider herself and bravely become the pioneer, she still had to think about the little sisters who trusted her wholeheartedly.

So before taking action, she had already planned and rehearsed everything, including how to escape after being exposed.

"Since my cousin has admitted her fault, please be lenient with her because of her young age and ignorance."

Seeing that his evil plan had succeeded, Chu Ningxun immediately changed his attitude and pleaded for Chu Ningyun, which not only demonstrated his selflessness, but also showed his value of friendship and affection.

It sounded very reasonable, but he had already fallen into disgrace the moment he decided to report the case himself in order to gain the reputation of sacrificing his own relatives for the sake of justice.

What's more, compared with Chu Ningyun's calmness, his ugly face is really unbearable to look at.

The terms "cousin" and "brother" clearly illustrate the relationship between them.

Wang Tianqi couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard this. He had already said it, and if he didn't take action, it would be difficult to stop the gossip.

However, Chu Ningyun's knowledge and insights are unique and he is indeed a rare talent.

When Wang Tianqi was in a dilemma and couldn't decide what to do for a while.

Du Wenche, the Minister of Revenue who had always been at odds with him, was very happy to see it.

Originally, the old man Wang Tianqi had gained two extremely talented young men at once, and he wanted to snatch them away directly.

Who would have thought that such a big mistake would happen now? He really needs to enjoy this wonderful show!

Then he gave a wink to the clerk over there, and the clerk immediately understood.

"Someone, capture Chu Ningyun!"

The clerk ordered the guards to arrest the man in a stern voice, catching everyone off guard.

"Let's see who dares!"

In the blink of an eye, the guards had surrounded Chu Ningyun.

A heroic young man in tight clothes jumped out of the crowd and stood in front of Chu Ningyun.

With a wave of his sleeves, a gust of wind suddenly arose, forcing back the guards who were coming at him aggressively.

"Xu Lin, no."

Chu Ningyun hugged the young man's arm and stopped him from trying to break out.

Everyone then came to their senses. It turned out that the young man who won the first place in the martial arts test was an old acquaintance of Chu Ningyun. No wonder she dared to take the risk to participate in the selection.

"I am also a woman. My gender does not conflict with my loyalty to the emperor and my country!"

Xu Lin pulled off his hairband, speaking in a firm voice and with a determined look in his eyes.

At this time, another elegant young man in the corner also wanted to stand up, but saw Chu Ningyun shook his head at him.

He could only grit his teeth, retreat silently, and hide deep in the crowd.

The atmosphere froze instantly. In such a good selection, two women were hidden, and the results of these two women were far better than those of the men.

It's really sad!

There were different opinions among the crowd, but most people still felt that the two should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Wang Tianqi snorted coldly and gave Du Wenche a warning look.

This old guy is increasingly disregarding the overall situation by looking for trouble on such an important occasion.

Du Wenche was not annoyed when he saw this, but just waited for him to deal with it with a smile.

What he can't get, that old man can't get either.

(System: Humph, what you can’t get will always make you restless!)

Moreover, it is the old man's fault for making a big deal out of this matter and reporting it to His Majesty.

Perhaps if he adds fuel to the fire, it is possible that His Majesty will punish him for negligence.

"So many grown men bullying two weak women, how great!

Little cousin, please sit here, I'll be back soon."

Huo Le'an, unable to bear it any longer, slammed the table and immediately prepared to rush down and act like a "hero saving the beauty".

"Cousin, they will make their own decision. Just wait and see."

Qi Mingze couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw Huo Le'an, who was overflowing with a sense of justice and instantly turned into a superman.

His meddling was more of a nuisance than a help.

Furthermore, he has already asked for a more suitable foreign aid to rescue the team, and he will probably arrive soon.

"Little cousin, do you think they will be okay?"

Huo Le'an returned to his original position obediently, still confirming with a little worry.

"Don't worry, I promise they'll be fine."

"That's a good feeling."

With his clever little cousin acting as a guarantor, Huo Le'an instantly calmed down.

Although he is not extremely smart, he is obedient.

As the saying goes, follow the strongest and you will have meat to eat.

As a child, he was a leader and selected the best potential stocks.

With this ability, he successfully clung to the most powerful financial supporter and became the most untouchable playboy in Shengjing, no doubt about it.

Now, he had a hunch that his little cousin was his "support" for the rest of his life?!

It's quite outrageous, but judging by his cousin's current behavior, he might become disgusted with him at any time, so he has to prepare for the worst.

[Hmph, unnecessary! With the host here, do you still need to use your brain?]

As an ordinary "little waste", the system always makes calls when the host kills monsters and gossips about it when the host plots against it.

The host earns money to support the family and is also beautiful, all it needs is praise!

【Tongtong!】Are you polite?

Hearing the host's slightly warning voice, the system immediately covered its mouth, indicating that it knew it was wrong.

"You're wrong, but you'll do it again next time." Qi Mingze shook his head helplessly.

The system blinked its big innocent eyes and pretended to be confused.

"What explanation do you have for what happened today?"

After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Wang Tianqi's hidden love for talent made him decide to make an exception and give them a chance to defend themselves.

"Sir, could you please clearly state in the recruitment notice that women are not allowed to participate?"

"Never."

She was fearless in the face of danger and was able to survive even after risking her life. Wang Tianqi raised his eyebrows and admired this woman even more.

"Does Xialin's law explicitly prohibit women from holding official positions?"

"Not yet."

"Empress Dowager Xuande also had female officials during her reign. Do you have any opinions?"

Chu Ningyun still looked calm and composed, as if everything was under control, but her words were very sharp.

Before Wang Tianqi could answer, a hoarse voice suddenly interrupted.

Seeing that the matter was about to come to nothing, Du Wenche stopped pretending and took action himself.

Humph, if you want to make a big deal out of a small matter, or a small matter disappear, you have to ask him if he agrees!

"You are so cunning and deceitful. I, Xia Lin, will not tolerate such cunning people in the court..."

"Master Du, you are too kind!" Wang Tianqi confronted him directly.

Du Wenche is really magnanimous to use such a dirty method to deal with a little girl who could be his granddaughter!

When a major crisis was about to break out, an unexpected person broke the deadlock.

"Hey, everyone, you all seem to be in such a good mood. I wonder if I could join in as well."

The rescue is late but it arrives!

(small theater:

The system and Huo Le'an hugged the baby's thighs on the left and right, and said in unison, "Host/little cousin, this is miserable, help!"

A black "井" character suddenly appeared on His Majesty's forehead. He looked gloomily at the two-person pendant on Zizi's leg and said to the person following behind him.

"You two, quickly drag these two bastards out, or I promise I won't beat them to death!"

Each of them dragged another with a brain, quickly moving away from the crematorium.

"Wife/little thing, come with me, your dear cousin/big boss is angry."

Not far away, a shrill cry came from everyone, "No!"

Regarding this drama that happens every now and then, Zizi held his forehead and said, "Children need to be taught slowly. The policy of corporal punishment is not advisable."

His Majesty contentedly picked up his wife and went to his "world of two" and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you in everything.")
