She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

"Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense." Eunuch Hai really didn't dare to say a word at this time.

The emperor had just been hurt by the two princes, and at this time he could easily anger them by accident.

"You little dog slave, just say what I tell you to say." The emperor became even more angry when he saw how cautious he was.

Eunuch Hai was so frightened that he trembled and had to bite the bullet and speak his mind.

"Your servant...Your servant knows that the Emperor has always felt guilty towards His Highness.

He fell off a cliff and broke his leg while trying to save you, and you couldn't bear to hurt his feelings.

I guess that the Emperor has always been concerned about Your Highness.

Fortunately, God is merciful and has allowed His Highness to stand up again, so I dare to advise His Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible.

There are only three princes who have reached adulthood, and there are two more who will soon be adults. If they develop inappropriate thoughts, Your Majesty will be even more worried."

"You're right. His thighs are fine now, but I don't know what he's thinking about that face.

In a few days, please ask the Marquis of Zhenguo to come to the palace. I want a definite answer.

Remember to remind me of this. I need to relax these past two days.

Let’s go to the Queen’s Palace and listen to Old Eight play the piano.” The Emperor felt exhausted.

His brothers had the same idea back then, which caused him a lot of trouble. Fortunately, his father was wise and never changed his original intention.

He was framed by his brothers several times, but his father believed him and gave him the opportunity to prove his innocence.

Fortunately, Prince Rong has always firmly supported and helped him, otherwise he would not have been able to ascend the throne smoothly.

Thinking of the past, the emperor felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

Slowly walked towards the Queen's Palace.

Two days later, the Ministry of Justice posted a notice announcing the truth and punishment of the imperial examination cheating.

The main culprit, Zhuang Zizhou, an aide to the Second Prince's Mansion, turned love into hate and deliberately took revenge.

He instigated the second prince to use the imperial examinations to make money, committed a serious crime, and was executed immediately.

All the accomplices were sentenced to crimes of different levels.

When Yu Yuanzheng heard this news, he was still a little skeptical.

I pulled Shangguan Ziqi aside to ask for clarification.

She is also very gossipy.

What does it mean to hate because of love?

"Back then, this man named Zhuang Zizhou was one of Grand Tutor Huang's most favored students. He frequently visited the Grand Tutor's residence and secretly developed feelings for Concubine Yun.

But Concubine Yun had long had her eyes on the emperor and wanted to marry him.

But at that time the emperor was only the crown prince.

The status of the Grand Tutor is already very high. If he marries his daughter as his principal wife, she will be the Emperor's Tutor when the Crown Prince ascends the throne.

The birth of another legitimate prince would easily breed the ambitions of the imperial relatives. The late emperor had already decided on another candidate for the crown princess.

Concubine Yun could only enter the Prince's Mansion as a concubine.

Zhuangzi Zhou was so disappointed that he had no choice but to marry someone else, but he always felt bad about it. But no one knew about it.

Over time, he developed resentment towards the then crown prince and joined the camp of another prince. Later, when the crown prince ascended the throne, he was naturally implicated and sentenced to exile.

After serving his sentence, he returned to his hometown to work as a private school teacher. Later, he was remembered by Concubine Yun and was invited to serve as the second prince's staff.

As to whether he instigated the second prince, anyone smart would know.

The Second Prince was such a grown man, how could he not know what he was doing? However, the Emperor was also happy that the Ministry of Justice gave him a way out. After all, he was the Emperor's biological son, and it was impossible to execute him immediately. He could only use Zhuang Zizhou as a scapegoat.

But the Second Prince has no chance of becoming Crown Prince from now on. The Emperor has already confined him to his fiefdom, and when his time is up, he will be sent to his fiefdom, and he is not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial decree."

"Oh, so there is such a connection. It's really no coincidence." Yu Yuanzheng sighed.

"Then how did they commit the crime?" Yu Yuanzheng asked again.

Scientific research management should be very strict, so how could someone succeed?

And the second prince is also involved.

"The exams aren't completely flawless. Everyone's handwriting is different. If you know the candidate's handwriting in advance, it would be much easier to make a mistake.

After the examination, the examination papers were covered and numbered, and then copied one by one by transcribers. These transcribers generally had a certain level of cultural literacy and writing skills.

Then they can also judge whether each candidate answered well or not.

Zhuang Zizhou bribed several of them to memorize the handwriting of the two merchants' sons. Once they copied it, they would replace their numbers with those of students they thought had a high chance of passing the imperial examination.

This swaps their results.

But this happened to be discovered by the Third Prince, so he bribed these people to replace one of their papers with one that they thought had a high chance of making it into the top 50.

“Oh, it can be operated this way.”

"In order to make the matter worse, the Third Prince secretly sent someone to kill Miao Biaowen because he knew that Miao Biaowen's score was the same as the score of the person who ranked fifth.

If a student is assassinated, the Ministry of Justice will naturally intervene in the investigation, and it is very likely that the Second Prince's cheating in the imperial examination will be exposed.

If only the test papers of those two people were switched, and their scores were lower, it is possible that no one would notice. "

"It seems that the Third Prince has a wide network of contacts." Yu Yuanzheng didn't expect that the Third Prince had become much smarter in recent years.

Thinking about the first time he brought the doctor into the house to see his husband, he was still very impulsive. In just a few years, he has learned how to strategize.

"The third prince has incorporated a force in the capital and used it for his own benefit, making him even more powerful," Shangguan Ziqi explained.

"So the Third Prince's current magical powers are due to having found a good helper?"

"Yes, my father and I both suspect this force might be a group of people that Third Uncle left behind in Wei, but the secret guards have tracked them many times but haven't been able to find their whereabouts. These people are all well-trained masters.

Besides being good at martial arts, they are also very good at hiding. Until now, my father and I have not yet found their hiding place. Shangguan Ziqi was very upset about this.

"Isn't the Third Prince trying to get the skin of a tiger?" Yu Yuanzheng couldn't understand why the Third Prince dared to use this group of people?

“Now that Third Uncle and Third Old Lady are both dead, he thinks these people have no master.

And he is a prince. If these people want to continue to gain a foothold in the capital, finding a prince to rely on is the best choice.

It's normal for him to use them. These people are originally from the Wei Dynasty."

"But this is all speculation on our part."

"Yes, so my father and I will continue to investigate."

"Then lure the snake out of its hole. Doesn't the third prince want the position of crown prince? If I cure the eldest prince's face, will he be anxious? As long as he is anxious, he will take action." Yu Yuanzheng came up with an idea.

"Madam is right. My father and I think so too. On the eighth day of the eighth month, the Emperor will go to Yuntai Mountain to offer sacrifices. I believe that force will definitely not miss the opportunity then.

On the surface, they are attached to the Third Prince, but in reality, that may not be the case. They may have other purposes, or continue to work for Canglan.

It’s just that the idiot Third Prince thought he got the upper hand.

The Emperor usually doesn't leave the palace, so this opportunity is rare for them. I guess they'll take action."

"You mean, let me cure the eldest prince's face during this time?" Yu Yuanzheng understood his implication.

"Madam, you understand my husband's heart. I wonder if you can cure the eldest prince's face?" Shangguan Ziqi hugged his wife gently and rubbed her head in a flattering manner.

"It's certainly possible to treat it, but his face is different from County Master Xiangling's. The eldest prince's knife wound is deeper, so it's more difficult to treat and will take longer. Once the treatment begins, the eldest prince will have to stay away from the public for a long time, or wear a mask. The treatment will be very ugly."

It’s such a pity to think that such a handsome man has his entire face ruined by a scar.

I wonder what Yue Yuying feels when she faces that scar every day.

"By the way, you haven't told me what happened in the fire in the examination room? Who did it?" Yu Yuanzheng listened for a long time and almost let it slip.
