Chapter 398 List of all cheaters
Yang Manman's pupils suddenly shrank, and she subconsciously avoided Jiang Suining's sight.
"I was just guessing. I got lucky and asked someone to write a few paragraphs and I bumped into it."
"It's not easy to get my handwriting. You took so much effort to imitate the note. Is it really just a few random paragraphs?" Jiang Suining continued to look at Yang Manman intently.
The latter felt uneasy when he saw this look.
Although the frame-up has been exposed now, if it is implicated that she got the test paper in advance, she will be punished for two crimes.
No, she can't admit it!
Yang Manman secretly took a deep breath, raised her head and asked fiercely: "What else? Do you still think that I have the help of gods and can know the questions in advance?"
"It's not necessarily something that only gods can do." Jiang Suining chuckled.
Lu Yan looked at Jiang Suining in confusion, and suddenly reacted after a moment. Could it be that Yang Manman had obtained the test questions in advance?
If this is the case, then Yang Manman’s crime is more than just this!
It was obvious that Lu Yan was not the only one present who thought of this. Queen Shi's expression darkened even more.
"I don't understand what you are saying!" Yang Manman gritted her teeth with a cold face, thinking quickly about how to deal with the situation in her mind.
However, Jiang Suining said, "If Miss Yang doesn't understand, forget it."
After saying this, Jiang Suining bowed to Empress Shi and said, "Your Majesty, I have finished my questions."
Is that all? Yang Manman stared at Jiang Suining blankly.
She originally thought that the other party would definitely insist on this point, and all the words she had prepared in her mind were stuck in her chest. Although she felt a little choked, Yang Manman still breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could relax for long, a report came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the fifth princess wants to see you."
Xiao Yue, who was summoned, strode in from outside.
"The daughter has met her mother."
"Get up, why are you here?" Queen Shi's expression softened a little.
As for Xiao Yue, although they were mother and daughter, they naturally had no affection for each other. But after all, not long ago, Xiao Yue had just helped Beiyang Kingdom to gain more fame and surpass other countries, so Queen Shi was particularly gentle to her.
Xiao Yue stood up, glanced at everyone present, then retracted his gaze and spoke to Queen Shi in a serious tone.
"Your Highness, I am here for today's assessment."
"How to say?"
"My daughter has already found out that among those who took the test today, someone got the test questions for today through the Hanlin Academy in advance!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Xiao Yue's words once again caused a commotion among the people present.
"What? Test questions?"
"I actually got the test questions. No wonder Yang Manman's note got the right answer?"
"That must be Yang Manman. She must have gotten the questions in advance. Not only did she cheat, but she also framed others. This is really too much!"
Listening to the discussions, Xiao Yue's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and he snorted and laughed before speaking.
"This princess never said that the person who got the test questions was only Yang Manman!"
The deliberately raised volume and cold tone of voice revealed a determination and seriousness to put things right.
"There is more than one, how could this be possible!?"
"Fifth Princess, you can't say such nonsense. It concerns the result of today's assessment and the innocence of so many people." A female relative spoke bravely, but her tone revealed an uncontrollable sense of guilt.
Xiao Yue looked at the other person and smiled contemptuously, "What's your name?"
"Your Majesty, your daughter Liu Qianqian, my father is..."
"No need to say more, this princess remembers that you are among them."
Liu Qianqian's expression suddenly changed, "Princess, please don't speak nonsense. How could I do such a thing!"
"Don't pretend. The list is in my hands. I can't possibly remember it wrong. I finally got this opportunity to be selected as a female official. I can't let incompetent people like you cheat and get selected by such shameless means."
Xiao Yue's words were very impolite.
In her opinion, she had put a lot of thought and effort into opening up the selection of female officials, and she would never allow others to destroy her achievements.
Xiao Yue took out a list from his sleeve, glanced at Queen Shi, hesitated for a moment, but in the end did not present it to the other party. Instead, he cleared his throat and read out the names one by one.
Every time she read out a name, another person's face turned pale.
Xiao Yuenian's voice was loud, but Jiang Suining frowned secretly and looked at Queen Shi, who had no expression on her face.
The list that Xiao Yue read out was found by Shen Yanxi.
After confirming the assessment, she and Shen Yanxi both thought of the possibility that someone might leak the test questions in advance. In order to ensure the fairness of this female official assessment, Shen Yanxi secretly made an effort to track down those who got the test questions through the Hanlin Academy.
At the same time, people were sent to keep a secret watch to ensure that they did not leak the test questions to others before finalizing the list.
However, this list naturally could not be taken out by Shen Yanxi, and his identity was not suitable for taking out this list, so he gave it to Xiao Yue.
The other party proposed the selection of female officials, and it would be most appropriate for her to reveal this matter.
But she remembered that the message she passed to Xiao Yue along with the list was to ask her to present the list to Empress Shi, who would make the decision. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yue actually read it out in public herself.
After all, this matter was the responsibility of Queen Shi. Xiao Yue took out the list and said that it was meritorious enough for her to have found out about this matter. Doing so was a bit disrespectful to Queen Shi.
While Jiang Suining was thinking, Xiao Yue had already read out the names on the list, a total of seven people.
Looking at the nervous women whose names were called, Xiao Yue's face showed a look of grief.
"This princess spent a lot of effort to get my father to agree to the selection of female officials. This is a rare and great opportunity for women, but how can you do such a shameless thing and ruin it? If this affects the fairness of this matter and causes the selection of female officials to be discussed or even cancelled, you will be sinners! What's more, the selection should be based on real talent and knowledge, and it needs to be fair. If you have such a wrong mind, how can you take on important responsibilities in the future!"
Xiao Yue's words were full of righteousness, and his expression was filled with grief and grief, revealing a sense of righteousness.
But if you listen carefully, you can seem to detect a hint of pride among her grief.
Xiao Yue straightened her back. After making these remarks, she turned around, handed over the list in her hand, and spoke to Queen Shi.
"Mother, these people should be disqualified. Please make the decision!"
