Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

The cheating scandal in the examination hall shocked the court and the public. The news of the newly appointed top scholar, Li Lan, being imprisoned on the day the results were announced had already spread throughout the land. Everyone believed that Li Lan was doomed and that the General of the State's Mansion would also be implicated. But now, Emperor Xianxian made a decision with a single word...

The situation has completely reversed!

Li Guan was taken aback and extremely puzzled. He subconsciously wanted to ask a question, but Mr. Zhu next to him tugged at his sleeve, telling him to shut up.

Emperor Xianxian's intentions are unfathomable. He has already miscalculated. If this matter continues, it will only be more detrimental to Liguan.

Li Yue was also somewhat taken aback. He didn't know why Emperor Xianxian valued and favored Li Lan so much. He subconsciously glanced at Liu Ziwen and the others, but Liu Ziwen and the others were even more confused than him.

He had no idea when Li Lan had caught the Emperor's eye!

Even Lin Zheng was completely bewildered at this moment.

Emperor Xianxian was a cunning and ruthless ruler. He would definitely use Li Lan's imprisonment as a bargaining chip. Lin Zheng was even prepared to mutilate himself on the Northwest battlefield in order to ensure Li Lan's safe release...

Now, we don't need these at all?

Everything was resolved easily, and Li Lan even rose to the top in one step?

What... exactly is going on?

What exactly did Li Lan do?

He had countless questions in his mind.

"monster……"

He heard his daughter's voice, turned around, and saw Lin Ruobing also staring blankly at Li Lan, muttering to herself.

"It's really weird..."

Lin Zheng could only sigh softly!

At this moment, the hearts of all the civil and military officials were filled with turbulent waves, but no one dared to speak. They were all lost in their own thoughts. Those ministers who had previously attacked Li Lan were even more trembling with fear!

"Your Majesty, I...I am innocent, Your Majesty!"

Xu Ruyu was struck dumb, and it took him a long time to react. His face was deathly pale, and he was drenched in cold sweat, repeatedly kowtowing.

"Your Majesty, I did not make a false accusation, I did not! Li Lan plagiarized, he cheated..."

He cried out in panic, not understanding why things had turned out this way, and turned to look at Li Guan for help:

"Your Highness..."

"Shut up!"

Li Guan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly rebuked him!

Guards nearby rushed forward and dragged Xu Ruyu away. Xu Ruyu continued to shout, but no one paid him any attention...

"Li Lan, why don't you thank His Majesty for his great favor?"

In the arena, Empress Xianyi spoke up to offer a reminder.

Li Lan felt a slight mix of emotions, but he quickly stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty!"

When he wrote the imperial edict for the emperor, he was only keeping a backup plan and adding an extra layer of insurance. He never expected that this backup plan would be so powerful.

"Flat body."

Emperor Xianxian glanced at Li Lan with approval, then turned to Lin Zheng and said, "General Lin, you have found a good son-in-law. Not bad."

A eunuch stepped forward and led Li Lan into the group of ministers, placing him directly at the very front.

The Grand Academician of the Hanlin Academy, a first-rank official, held a position equivalent to the Ministers of the Six Ministries, and his imperial writings were even more illustrious!

He stood directly next to General Lin Zheng, the General Who Protects the Nation.

Seeing this, the other officials all had grim and complicated expressions. He was just a prisoner, but in the blink of an eye, he had actually risen to the ranks of the Yuan Dynasty!

"It seems you were prepared."

Seeing Li Lan return, Lin Zheng finally felt relieved, gently patted his shoulder, and said, "Okay."

"Worrying you."

Li Lan smiled slightly, then looked at Lin Ruobing. Lin Ruobing had already released the hidden arrow from her sleeve, but she couldn't help but pout her cherry lips and whispered, "Oh, you're playing tricks on me again. If I had known, I should have let you taste the rotten egg when you went to jail."

Despite saying that, the relaxation and joy in her tone were hard to hide. Li Lan smiled, reached out her hand, and she reluctantly took it.

Not far away, the Third Prince Li Guan watched this scene with a face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water!

Beside him, Mr. Zhu sighed softly, "I underestimated Li Lan. This man is truly... far too cunning."

"It doesn't matter... he's still going to die."

Li Guan clenched his fist slightly!

……

"By imperial decree, a general amnesty is hereby granted!"

Emperor Xianxian spoke.

Immediately, a group of prisoners knelt down and shouted.
