Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

After a while of drinking, someone raised a question, "But if the emperor knew about this, I'm afraid..."

Xiao Hechuan said, "My lords, don't worry too much. As long as you all follow me wholeheartedly, I will protect my position and help you through this."

"Your Highness is right. Our Emperor currently has no successor, and after that... I'm afraid it's hard to say what will happen!"

After all, the rumors among officials some time ago that Xiao Huai was inhumane did not seem to be groundless.

"That's right, that's right! We were just worrying too much."

……

Sui Ning frowned, "Maybe Xiao Hechuan used this incident to win them over."

If this matter is used well, it can be a handle or a button that connects the interests of everyone.

"It's nothing, just a clown."

After this spring examination, we will take action against them!

Sui Ning pulled out a list from her bosom. "This is the list of people we know about King Cheng's followers. Your Majesty, you can take a look at it. It might be useful."

Since we want to ensure the eternal stability of the Xiao Dynasty, we naturally cannot exclude Xiao Huai.

There are some things that would be more convenient if he took action.

At this moment, Xiao Huai felt warm in his heart, "Ningning, I'll take care of this kind of thing, you don't need to worry about it."

------

Xiao Huai moved quickly.

However, in just three days, all the scientific research results of the past three years have been investigated.

But you don’t know until you check, and you’ll be shocked when you do.

Among them, nearly twenty people had different imperial examination scores.

You should know that the imperial court currently admits only about twenty people from all over the country as Jinshi candidates each year!

In the past three years, about one-third of poor students had their test papers swapped by others.

What is even more shocking is that these talented people later suffered injuries or death due to various human-induced accidents and mishaps, and ultimately missed the imperial examinations.

There were as many as thirty officials involved, and it was even discovered that some of them were selling titles and official positions!

Most of the officials involved were subordinates of King Cheng.

Because the imperial examination cheating case involved too many people, Xiao Huai finally decided to go to the Dali Temple in person to supervise the trial.

The poor students who were deeply affected jointly submitted a petition, and the officials involved signed and sealed it, admitting their guilt and accepting punishment.

Several officials whose offenses were serious were executed along with their entire families, while the rest were stripped of their official positions and exiled to the northern border.

On that day, the wailing coming from the Dali Temple continued for a long time.

After the imperial examination cheating case came to an end, the court underwent a major reshuffle.

However, Xiao Hechuan was cunning and had arranged everything long ago, blaming the cheating in the imperial examinations on his subordinate officials.

Because there was no definite evidence, he could only be confined to the palace as punishment.

At this point, all the officials under King Cheng's faction felt insecure.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Hechuan finally chose to advance the marriage with the General's Mansion in order to appease the hearts of his officials.

As this news came, Sui Ning learned another unexpected news from her stepfather.

The princess that Xiao Hechuan was about to marry was actually pregnant!

According to the time calculation, if nothing unexpected happens, the child in Li Shuyun's belly should be Xiao Hechuan's only child in this life.

Then, Sui Ning called Wangshu and discussed performing a play in front of Bai Yu.

"The prince is going to marry Li Shuyun!" Sui Ning's face was full of jealousy and resentment.

Wangshu comforted her from the side, "Your Majesty, please be at ease. It is impossible for you and King Cheng to be together. The Emperor is now very kind to you..."

"But I don't love him!"

"Empress..." Wangshu felt helpless.

Sui Ning's eyes were filled with tears, and her face was sincere. "Wangshu, Baiyu, please help me. Now I can trust and rely on you two!"

Bai Yu quickly stepped forward to express her loyalty, "Your Majesty, the prince has given me to you. I am yours now. If you have anything to ask of me, just tell me what you want."

Wangshu also nodded repeatedly.

Sui Ning's eyes were red as she spoke word by word, "You are all my closest and most trusted people. I want to marry one of you to the prince."

"On the one hand, I've found a good home for you, fulfilling our master-servant relationship."

"On the other hand, when I'm not with the prince, you can also help me keep an eye on Li Shuyun to prevent the prince from being seduced by her."

Hearing this, Wangshu and Baiyu were both a little surprised.

I didn't expect Sui Ning to come up with such an idea.

Bai Yu's tone was a little anxious, "My Lady, maybe there is another way."

If she was returned to the prince by Jiang Suining, then her mission of lurking and monitoring Jiang Suining would have failed!

How would she explain to the prince then?

"No more! This morning my father wrote to me and told me that Li Shuyun is pregnant!" Sui Ning was hysterical.

This news came so suddenly that even Bai Yu was a little stunned.

Sui Ning broke down and cried, "Li Shuyun is already two months pregnant. When his Japanese wife enters the palace, how will there be any room for me by the prince's side?!"

Seeing that Bai Yu was obviously distracted, Sui Ning continued to increase the bet.

"Don't worry, no matter which of you two enters the palace, I will ask the emperor to free you from slavery and appoint you as concubines. Then Li Shuyun won't be able to touch you easily."

Sui Ning grabbed Bai Yu's hand and asked earnestly, "Bai Yu, are you willing to help me?"

Bai Yu hesitated a little, "My Lady, this servant..."

She had to admit that she was a little moved by what Jiang Suining said.

Liking the prince has always been the biggest secret she has hidden in her heart, and becoming the prince's woman is something she never dared to think about before.

But if she agreed, she would not be able to continue with the task assigned to her by the prince, and she was afraid that the prince would blame her.

But if she doesn't agree, there may never be such a good opportunity again, and she doesn't know when she can be with the prince openly.

Seeing Bai Yu's hesitation, Wang Shu quickly expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, since Bai Yu is unwilling, let this servant go."

"My life has long been yours, and now it is perfectly suited for your use, Your Majesty!"

Sui Ning was extremely grateful. "Good Wangshu, if you are truly willing, if you and the prince have children in the future, I will also arrange for them to be kept by your side and raised."

Seeing Sui Ning was about to decide on Wangshu, Bai Yu immediately gritted his teeth and decided to fight for himself, "No! Your Majesty, Bai Yu is willing to go!"
