Chapter 413 Slap in the face
The Thirteenth Prince couldn't help but look at Yi Mobao again.
It's not like he had never seen apprentices from poor families before. They were always self-abased and timid, and they didn't even dare to look at him, a prince.
No, let alone those apprentices from humble backgrounds, even royal relatives had to remain absolutely respectful in front of the Thirteenth Prince!
Therefore, the attitude of this boy named Shen Mo was too arrogant. As a prince, he could not tolerate being offended like this!
At this time, Zhan Xiaoya saw Minister Lin who was walking in front of the examiners.
Minister Lin seemed to be in a very good mood today. His usually serious face was now full of smiles. He turned his head and said something to the examiners behind him.
"Thirteenth Prince, Minister Lin is here!" Zhan Xiaoya said anxiously, not noticing that the expression on Minister Lin's face looked full of flattery.
"Teacher! The poor boy brought by Shen Yubao offended me. Please cancel his qualification for the assessment!"
At this moment, everyone present looked towards Minister Lin.
"Minister Lin, things are not what you think..." Before Shen Yubao finished his explanation, he saw the figure behind Minister Lin.
Surrounded by Minister Lin and other examiners, Ji Chilian came wearing a crescent-white robe and holding Buddhist beads.
He did not dress too seriously today. His black hair was held up with a jade crown, and his whole demeanor was elegant and extraordinary.
Especially his tall and straight figure, which did not look like a eunuch at all. Anyone who saw him would almost suspect that he was an idle prince. The moment he appeared was enough to successfully attract the attention of everyone present.
"Dad? Why are you here?" Shen Yubao immediately ran towards Ji Chilian.
Yi Mobao was also a little surprised.
However, he stood there without moving, just looking at Ji Chilian.
After Ji Chilian hugged Shen Yubao, she subconsciously looked in the direction of Yi Mobao.
Seeing that Yi Mobao did not move, Ji Chilian hid the emotions flashing in his eyes: "Minister Lin, today the emperor ordered me to supervise the exam with you, but I never thought that so many troubles would arise before the exam even started. I don't know how Minister Lin usually manages the Royal Academy?"
After hearing this, Minister Lin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat: "Please forgive me, Governor! In the past, the children in the academy always accommodated each other and there had never been any problems! I think there must be some misunderstanding here!"
"Uncle!" The Thirteenth Prince couldn't help but call Minister Lin.
Minister Lin was his distant cousin, and usually he always stood on his side in the Imperial Academy. This was the first time he heard Minister Lin not standing on his side, and for a moment he could not accept it.
Minister Lin glared at the Thirteenth Prince in a warning tone, "Thirteenth Prince! I have always taught you to respect your teachers! Now that we are in the academy, I am your teacher!"
"Yes, teacher..." The Thirteenth Prince really didn't dare to act rashly in this regard. He called out reluctantly and said, "Teacher, today it was this kid named Shen Mo who disrespected me, the prince!"
"Then may I ask, Thirteenth Prince, how did Shen Mo disrespect you?" Ji Chi Lian suddenly interrupted the Thirteenth Prince.
"He, he just disrespects me, he... Zhan Xiaoya, aren't you my prince's tutor? Tell me quickly, how did this boy offend me!" The Thirteenth Prince had no way to answer Ji Chilian's question and directly pushed Zhan Xiaoya.
Zhan Xiaoya was confused after being pushed out.
"Apprentices study together in the Royal Academy, and they can understand each other even if they have some minor quarrels. Shen Mo, you must have taken action, so you are being targeted, right?" Ji Chilian looked at Yi Mobao.
Yi Mobao felt inexplicably nervous.
It’s strange to say, he had already put on a human skin mask and had done a perfect disguise.
However, when Ji Chilian looked over, he still subconsciously felt a sense of panic, as if he was being seen through.
"It was Zhan Xiaoya who tried to attack Young Master Shen first. I just blocked Zhan Xiaoya's attack and protected Young Master Shen." Yi Mobao did not avoid it, but said with his head held high.
"I can prove it! Dad, Zhan Xiaoya wanted to hit my eyes with peanuts at that time. If it weren't for Mo... cough cough cough, if it weren't for Shen Mo helping me, I might have been blind now!" Shen Yubao deliberately exaggerated and made the matter sound very serious.
"Yes, we can also prove it!" Miss Sun and others also stood up to speak for Shen Yubao and Yi Mobao.
"You'd better think it over carefully before you speak!" The Thirteenth Prince did not expect that no one would stand on his side, and his eyes were filled with anger.
“The Tenth Prince dared to threaten his classmates in front of me, which shows that he will be even more presumptuous in private. Minister Lin, is this what you mean by careful teaching?” A layer of frost covered Ji Chilian’s eyes.
Seeing that Minister Lin was too afraid to utter a word of rebuttal, Miss Sun and the others felt very refreshed.
You have to know that on ordinary days, it was because Minister Lin favored the Thirteenth Prince. They didn't know how many losses they had suffered openly and secretly. Even when they were bullied by the Thirteenth Prince, they never dared to resist.
But today is different. With the help of Du Gong, they don’t have to suffer anymore!
"Lord Governor, Minister Lin has always favored the Thirteenth Prince. Normally, when we make mistakes, Minister Lin punishes us, but if it is the Thirteenth Prince who makes a mistake, Minister Lin will help him cover it up!"
"That's right! That's why Zhan Xiaoya joined the Thirteenth Prince in bullying us!"
"Zhan Xiaoya was the first to start. Shen Yubao and Shen Mo hadn't done anything yet, but he wanted to bully them!"
"It was Shen Mo who protected Shen Yubao. Shen Mo was brave and righteous!"
"Yes, we all saw it!"
"When the Thirteenth Prince came, he said he wanted to drive Shen Mo out without knowing the truth. This is really too much! Lord Governor, you have to do justice for them!"
"What everyone said is true! Dad, Shen Mo protected me, he shouldn't be blamed, instead he should be praised and rewarded!" Shen Yubao said finally.
"Shen Yubao, stop talking nonsense here! This royal academy is managed by my uncle. Without my uncle's permission, no one else's words count!" The Thirteenth Prince roared indignantly.
After hearing this, Minister Lin turned pale with fear: "Thirteenth Prince, don't talk nonsense!"
"Minister Lin, you are indeed the manager of the Royal Academy. But this is a royal academy, and naturally you have to obey the emperor's orders. You want to cover up everything, don't you take the emperor seriously?" Ji Chilian raised the corners of his lips, with danger in his eyes.
"Governor, please spare my life. I dare not do that!" Minister Lin knelt heavily on the ground.
Ji Chilian said it casually, but she put the capital crime on his head!
Wouldn't this cost him his life?
Minister Lin was so frightened that his soul left his body, but the Thirteenth Prince continued to fan the flames.
