My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

Her second brother Xue Wuyang and her eldest brother Xue Wuji are twin brothers. The eldest brother is a man of great talent and bravery, while the second brother is a humble gentleman with great talent.

One of them is good at literature and the other is good at martial arts, both of them are young and handsome.

With her second brother's level, how could he cheat in the palace examination?

Someone must have framed me on purpose!

The Book of Heaven's Secrets immediately confirmed her guess.

Before the palace examination, Xue Wuyang wrote three answer sheets at Wanze Academy, one of which happened to be the topic of this palace examination.

Relying on his photographic memory, he wrote down on the answer sheet the twenty suggestions he had previously put forward for governing the country based on the current situation in Jiuzhou.

Yesterday, when the cabinet ministers were marking the test papers, they found that the contents of two answer sheets were almost identical.

One of the answer sheets was from Xue Wuyang, and the other was from Song Jingqian, the grandson of Taifu Song.

The person who reported Xue Wuyang for cheating was Song Jingqian. He stole Xue Wuyang's three answer sheets before the palace examination, then copied the contents of Xue Wuyang's three answer sheets overnight, and quietly put his own copied answer sheet back to Xue Wuyang's room.

After the palace examination, he falsely accused Xue Wuyang and deliberately led the scholars of Wanze Academy to search Xue Wuyang's residence and find three answer sheets that he had copied and replaced.

This situation is a case of catching the person red-handed. After everyone confirmed that the handwriting on the answer sheet was Song Jingqian's, Xue Wuyang was arrested by the Ministry of Justice for cheating and directly imprisoned.

Now the petition has been delivered to Murong Che, and the Grand Secretary who reviewed the palace examination papers also presented the highly identical answers of Xue Wuyang and Song Jingqian to the emperor.

Xue Youli knew that this case was very difficult.

Not to mention that Song Jingqian's perjury was impeccable.

Just because he is the grandson of the Grand Tutor, the group of scholars in the academy who curry favor with him will stand up and testify for him unconditionally.

But it is true. Song Jingqian could steal her second brother's answer sheet, but he could not steal her second brother's knowledge.

Xue Youli pondered and immediately came up with an idea, "Banxia, ​​didn't I finish the pigeon soup sent by the imperial kitchen at noon? Let's go to Zicheng Palace and deliver it to the emperor!"

"what?"

This time it was Banxia's turn to be confused. "Master, there isn't much pigeon soup left. Isn't it enough to send to Zicheng Palace?"

Moreover, if the emperor was found out by drinking the remaining soup, it would be very embarrassing even if he didn't blame me.

Xue Youli completely misunderstood her meaning, "It doesn't matter if there's not much left, just add some water to the soup to make up the difference."

Banxia, ​​"...Master, are you sure you can make up the numbers like this?"

"Hurry up and serve the soup. The Emperor is waiting to drink it!"

Xue Youli didn't have time to explain to her. Delivering soup was just an excuse for her to meet Murong Che.

Anyway, Murong Che was worried about cheating in the palace examination and was definitely not in the mood to drink the soup she gave him.

Half an hour later, Xue Youli came to Zicheng Hall carrying the pigeon soup she had prepared.

"I'm here to bring soup to the Emperor. Please inform the eunuch."

Outside the Zicheng Palace, Wang Defa looked at Xue Youli with an embarrassed expression, "It's not that I don't want to report it, but the emperor just ordered that no one is allowed to enter and disturb."

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Che's voice came from the hall, "Wang Defa, let her in."

“…” Okay! It’s true that your heart is hard to predict!

Wang Defa respectfully opened the palace door and said, "Lady Xue, please come in."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang."

Xue Youli left Banxia outside and walked in with the lunch box.

In the main hall, Murong Che sat at the desk, looking at the two palace examination papers in his hands.

After Xue Youli finished her greetings, she glanced at the table and spoke in a roundabout way, "I had a quick visit with the Emperor in the Imperial Garden. Learning that he was busy with government affairs, I personally prepared pigeon soup for you to nourish your body. Your Majesty, will I serve you a bowl?"

As she spoke, she pretended to open the lunch box.

Murong Che could hear her inner voice, and without further ado, he said straight to the point, "No need. You've come at the perfect time. I have something I'd like to hear your opinion on."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Xue Youli immediately threw the lunch box aside and waited for the man to continue.

Murong Che pushed two palace examination papers in front of her. "I just received news that your second brother cheated in this palace examination. The answers he submitted are very similar to those of another candidate from their academy. Take a look."

Xue Youli met Murong Che's peach blossom eyes, which were unable to tell whether he was happy or angry, and was unsure of his attitude for a moment.

However, since he came to ask me, he should have guessed the doubts.

"Your Majesty, my second brother has been well-read since childhood, and he knows what a gentleman should and shouldn't do. He disdains to commit fraud, and there's no need for him to do it. I believe he is the victim of the fraud. Please, Your Majesty, investigate the truth and clear my second brother's name."

"Murong Che, all of this was caused by that unworthy grandson of Taifu Song. You can't just accuse my second brother! Otherwise, Jiuzhou will lose a pillar of talent!"

Murong Che also pushed the evidence presented by Song Jingqian in front of Xue Youli and deliberately asked her, "These are the evidence Song Jingqian used to accuse your second brother of cheating. Song Jingqian predicted the exam questions before the exam. I compared the handwriting and these three essays are indeed in Song Jingqian's handwriting. The essays on your second brother's exam paper are exactly the same as the ones Song Jingqian wrote before. We have witnesses and evidence. How do you think I can clear his name?"

[Bullshit! The witnesses and evidence are all fake! These three answers were all written by my second brother. Song Jingqian stole my second brother's original manuscript, copied it himself, and deliberately put it in my second brother's room to frame him!]

"Murong Che, you better be more careful! You believe everything others say. No wonder you can't sit on the throne for long!"

Murong Che, "..." Xue Youli, you are so bold!

Xue Youli cursed inwardly, but her expression remained submissive and obedient. "Your Majesty, Song Jingqian said he wrote all three essays, but I see that their writing style is consistent with my second brother's. In my humble opinion, we should simply create a new topic and have Song Jingqian and my second brother write the essays in front of Your Majesty. We will know who is the real cheater and who is the victim after this test."

She had checked in the Book of Heavenly Secrets and found out that Song Jingqian was a complete fool and didn't know much.

The reason why he was able to enter Wanze Academy was entirely due to the money spent by the Song family.

In order to establish himself as a man of great talent, he would hire someone to write poems and articles in advance.

Because he had money, he accumulated a certain amount of talent and reputation in Wanze Academy by spending money.

Others thought that Song Jingqian had real talent and knowledge, but he knew his own limitations very well. In order to stand out in the palace examination, he set his sights on Xue Wuyang.

The best way to prove Xue Wuyang's innocence is to let him take the test again with Song Jingqian.

Murong Che also had the same idea, "This is a very good idea, let's do as you say."

So he immediately asked Wang Defa to summon Song Jingqian and Xue Wuyang.

Xue Wuyang was reported by Song Jingqian and imprisoned, and could only meet the emperor as a prisoner.

When Xue Youli saw Xue Wuyang being escorted to the main hall, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

There were bloodstains on Xue Wuyang's white prison uniform, obviously he had been tortured in prison.

However, even though he was covered in wounds and his hands and feet were chained, he still stood straight with an unyielding spirit.

"Students pay homage to His Majesty!"
