Never divorce, never stop getting rich

The scene was very quiet for a while.

Qian Qiansui was shocked. She didn't expect that she could hear surround sound from the position she was sitting in.

"I……"

“Puff~~~~~~~~~~~”

Everyone on the field retreated tactically. Even those poetry fans who had been pushing forward to show their support for him now had to take a big step back, their faces full of helplessness and disgust.

"Avalokitesvara..." Lu Simiao tried his best to calm his almost scattered mind. The blue veins on his forehead bulged slightly, his teeth were clenched, and his hands were tightly covering his abdomen. He stubbornly fought against the abdominal pain that was like a noose, and was determined to complete his peerless poem.

He tried his best to take another step forward.

Lu Simiao's face was instantly distorted, his facial features were almost dislocated, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. He endured the tremendous pressure and decided to use his own body to block the attack of thousands of troops. This was a test of willpower.

“Puff~~~~~Puff~~~~~~~~~~oh~~”

It turns out that in the long journey of life, understanding the true meaning of giving up can make people feel as beautiful as a spring breeze.

Lu Simiao smiled, his smile was so romantic, so heroic, and so majestic. He was a general on the battlefield, and the world had to bow to him.

The eunuch was so stunned by the scene before him that he was like a wooden chicken, his eyes wide open and his mind blank... He even forgot to take action to stop it.

Qian Qiansui's jaw dropped in shock. How could such a weird thing happen in this competition?

Just when everyone was unsure how to respond, a foreign envoy beside the empress burst into laughter and continued to laugh. While laughing, he said in his broken Chinese: "Seven steps to form a poem? Seven steps to form a poem, right? Hahahahahaha."

At this time, everyone in the royal family and court, including the empress, had a solemn expression on their faces, and no one could laugh. This matter was not as simple as losing face. It had destroyed the dignity of the Tang Kingdom in front of foreign envoys, brought disgrace to its reputation, and severely damaged the honor of the country.

"Take Lu Simiao away! The Dali Temple will be responsible for a thorough investigation!" The empress's face tightened, and she made a quick decision: "Panshi Academy wins this competition."

The people from the Dali Temple immediately took the order and left.

"For such a thing to happen during such a prestigious academy competition, Your Majesty really needs to investigate this thoroughly." The eldest princess, who had not spoken for a long time, said with a smile.

The empress didn't even look at her, and the eldest princess didn't care either. Instead, she was in a good mood.

The corners of her lips curled slightly, and she quietly cast a mysterious smile at a maid in the distance. Then, she slowly raised her head and looked at the empress who was high above her with an unfathomable gaze.

Several foreign envoys sat together and whispered to each other, with disdainful smiles on their faces, without a trace of concealment.

"Your Majesty, someone has drugged my grandson! It must be this Panshi Academy. Please arrest these murderers and bring them to justice to restore my grandson's reputation." The King of Hengzhou helped an old man stand up and bowed, but his attitude was arrogant.

"Your Highness, there is no need to do this. The matter has not been concluded yet. There are many civilians present. If we arrest people rashly, it may cause riots and even stampede." The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet also came to smooth things over. This matter could only be done secretly and could not be made public.

"Then my grandson has lost face. If the late emperor were still alive, how could such a thing happen? To put it bluntly, a woman in power is just a figurehead, it only looks good." The old man was furious, and then he spoke without thinking, then he arrogantly waved his sleeves and left to visit his grandson.

The eldest princess was very disappointed to see that the empress was unmoved and remained as steady as a rock. She felt that this woman was becoming more and more patient. If she were younger, she would have made a fuss by now.

"Go on." The empress quietly withdrew her hand from the armrest. No one knew except Prime Minister Pei that she had pinched off the nails on her clenched palm.

Qian Qiansui saw that the situation was not good and went to pick up Jin Shuang in person. The child was scared silly, or perhaps also smoked silly. She looked at a loss, like a cuckoo in the cold winter.

"Madam, this is too scary. Fortunately, I hid far away, otherwise I might have been splashed by him." Jin Shuang was shaking with fear when she saw people walking up to the competition stage one after another.

Qian Qiansui covered his nose and cursed inwardly, then walked back with the child in his arms.

"Don't go! Don't go!"

The person blocking the way was actually an unfamiliar woman, and behind her stood the maids, old women, and the deans of the four major academies.

"What are you going to do?" Qian Qiansui looked at the exit. The teachers from Panshi Academy also gathered around. Sikong Taxing frowned and hugged his chest, ready to rush over at any time.

"Your academy drugged my son and you still want to leave like this?" The woman was full of anger and looked at Jin Shuang viciously.

"What? Do you have any evidence?" Qian Qiansui covered the child's eyes. She was afraid that if she started beating someone, the child would be scared.

"My son was fine before, but he became like this after he went on stage. Now we don't know whether he is alive or dead. Hand over that girl and come with us." This "come" obviously doesn't mean going to a government office. It means a lynching. It is obvious that he wants to use Jin Shuang to vent his anger on Lu Simiao.

"I say, you're all right, aren't you? Our child is only eleven or twelve. How could you possibly drug your son remotely? Don't worry, your son is drunk and has diarrhea. You've probably been kicked in the head by a donkey, haven't you?"

Qian Qiansui would not tolerate this group of people. It seemed that her son was not a good person, and this woman was definitely not a good person either.

"You are so vulgar!"

The woman pinched her handkerchief, her face trembling with anger.

"What do you mean by drugging? It's obvious that he wanted to stand out in the competition, but ended up failing. Look at Lu Simiao's expression of enjoyment now? Not only do you family members not appreciate it, but you also want to put the blame on us. Dream on! Get out of the way, I'm going to be stabbed to death!" Qian Qiansui said loudly, wishing he could repeat Lu Simiao's ugly deeds all over again.

The woman couldn't bear it anymore and pointed at Qian Qiansui with trembling fingers.

The people from the four academies saw the maids coming to take her away, and fearing something might happen, they tried to stop them while saying to Qian Qiansui, "She's just a little girl, how much can she be worth? What's the harm in giving her to the Crown Prince's wife?"

Hearing this, Qian Qiansui got furious. What did he mean by net worth? How much could he be worth? This was openly trafficking in women and children, and he was still a teacher.

"Then I'll offer you 1,000 taels for 20 students from your academy. Will you sell them?"

The dean of Jiangsong Academy raised his beard and shouted angrily, "How dare you! How can you compare them? They are students."

"Since your wife is not a student, why not sell her? Or a concubine." Qian Qiansui rolled up her sleeves, ready to beat to death those guys who treated human life as worthless if they hit her.

"You! How disrespectful!" the dean of Jiangsong Academy said with a sullen face, "Don't think we don't know where these girls of yours came from. You either stole them or bought them. Their backgrounds are unknown. I suspect you have other motives."

"Hey! I think you are protecting Madam Lu because you have other intentions towards her." Qian Qiansui stretched out his hand to grab the collar of the dean opposite him. The maids and old women also came up. The eunuchs beside him were so scared that they quickly stopped them. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

"Stop making trouble and go down quickly. The competition is about to start." Qian Qiansui turned his head and saw a group of people coming. They were all soldiers in armor. He knew that the empress had come out to intervene, so he quickly stopped and ran down with Jin Shuang in his arms.

Lu Simiao was dragged away by a group of soldiers who were covering their noses, and the ground they passed by was covered with "yellow mud".

"Madam, I won't cause any trouble for the academy, right?" Jin Shuang rubbed her eyes, which were stung by the burning sensation, with her soft fists and said with a sob.

"How is that possible! They are not good people. We will deal with them sooner or later." Qian Qiansui narrowed her eyes. She is not someone who will endure.
