Eunuch Liu's sudden and surprising move was like a bolt from the blue, instantly blasting the entire hall into silence. Everyone stared in astonishment, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes. And when Eunuch Liu shouted out the four words "Ran Qi Guoshi", it was like a huge rock thrown into a lake, stirring up thousands of waves, shocking everyone in the room!

The first one to react was Liu Shimei. She was full of suspicion and screamed, "Eunuch Liu, are you mistaken? This woman is just a bitch whom I divorced before. How could she be the imperial teacher?" Her tone was full of doubt and disdain.

Then, Li on the side hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Eunuch Liu, you don't know. This bitch has been divorced by my son a long time ago. She came here today just to disrupt the wedding. You must have misjudged her!" As she spoke, she glared at Ran Qi fiercely, as if she wanted to eat him alive with her eyes.

However, facing the doubts and accusations of the crowd, Eunuch Liu remained calm and composed. At this time, Liu Xiangyun stood up.

As the daughter of the prime minister, she had been pampered since childhood, and had seen a lot, so naturally she was more courageous than others. She straightened up, looked directly at Eunuch Liu, and asked bluntly: "Eunuch Liu, are you so old that you are blind and hard of hearing, and mistook her for the Imperial Master?"

After hearing this, Eunuch Liu's face darkened instantly, as if covered by a dark cloud. He stared at the group of people in front of him with wide eyes, and wondered in his heart: How dare they blatantly accuse him of being old and blind and ignorant? An unknown fire surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout angrily: "How dare you! How dare you be so rude! The person standing in front of you is the extremely noble State Master, why don't you kneel down and pay your respects!"

At this time, Liu Shimei was in extreme shock and confusion. She could not accept the fact that the national teacher was the woman Ran Qi who had been abandoned by her.

In her eyes, Ran Qi was just a humble and pitiful woman who had been divorced. How could she be worthy of such a high position? So, she suppressed her inner turmoil and said in a trembling voice, "Eunuch Liu, are you kidding us?"

However, Eunuch Liu was not moved by Liu Shimei's questioning. On the contrary, his expression became more solemn and he responded coldly: "Huh, do you think we are joking?" His words revealed an unquestionable majesty. Facing Eunuch Liu's sharp eyes and firm tone, Liu Shimei could not help but feel a chill, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

However, despite Eunuch Liu's repeated emphasis, Liu Shimei still found it hard to believe what she saw and heard. She stared blankly at Ran Qi, and all kinds of unbearable memories of the past kept flashing through her mind.

It is really beyond imagination that the woman who was once docile, weak and bullied has now transformed into a highly respected national teacher.

He murmured to himself, "But... this is clearly my abandoned wife, how could she suddenly become the Imperial Master?" Although his voice was soft, the doubt and unwillingness contained in it were clearly discernible.

No matter how confused Liu Shimei was, Ran Qi came here today just to slap Liu Shimei in the face.

"How about it? Liu Shimei, can you kneel down and kowtow and admit your mistake now?"

"You little bitch, you actually dared to ask my son to kowtow to you and admit his mistake. Aren't you afraid that you can't bear it?" Li pointed at Ran Qi and cursed.

Liu Shimei certainly wouldn't be willing to kowtow and admit his mistake, and it's impossible for him to believe that Ran Qi would be the imperial master.

"Ran Qi, I don't know what method you used to get Eunuch Liu to help you lie, but what's fake won't be real. When the real Imperial Master comes, you won't be able to escape!"

Ran Qi laughed sarcastically and said, "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin. Come, let Liu Zhuangyuan kneel down and kowtow to admit his mistake."

In fact, no one moved. They had originally believed in Eunuch Liu a little, but when they thought that Ran Qi was just a divorced wife and it was impossible for her to suddenly become the Imperial Master, no one dared to move.

But Eunuch Liu brought people with him and caught Liu Shimei on the spot, asking him to kneel down and apologize.

Liu Shimei immediately started to make a scene, "How dare you do this to me? I am the new champion."

"The Imperial Master has ordered! Mr. Liu, the top scholar, kneel down immediately and kowtow to admit your mistake!" Eunuch Liu stood aside and ordered loudly in a stern voice.

With this command, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Shimei.

At this time, Liu Shimei's face became extremely ugly. He bit his lips tightly and clenched his fists, but he could not disobey the will of the national teacher. Just like that, all the words Liu Shimei had said before seemed to have vanished and no longer had any effect.

Just at this moment, Liu Xiangyun, who had been standing nearby and observing silently, finally couldn't suppress the anxiety and anger in his heart.

On the one hand, she really couldn't bear to see her beloved Liu Shimei suffer such humiliation; on the other hand, she also thought that it would be an extremely shameful thing if Liu Shimei kneeled down to Ran Qi in public.

So Liu Xiangyun took a step forward, glared at those who wanted to attack Liu Shimei, and shouted: "You bold lunatics! How dare you be so rude! He is a dignified top scholar, how can you, a nameless person, offend him so easily?"

Then, Liu Xiangyun pointed the finger at Ran Qi and questioned mercilessly: "And you, Ran Qi! You are just an abandoned woman, and you dare to pretend to be the national teacher so boldly! Do you really believe her nonsense?"

Then, she looked around and raised her voice and continued, "Let me ask everyone present, has anyone really seen the true face of the State Master? Anyway, I have seen it with my own eyes!"

At this point, Liu Xiangyun paused for a moment, then looked at Ran Qi with a look of contempt and disdain, and continued: "Master Guoshi is a real man, how could he be a woman like Ran Qi? It's simply ridiculous!"

Finally, she emphasized again: "Originally, I didn't want to expose Ran Qi's lies because she was just a poor woman and had just experienced the unfortunate experience of being divorced by her husband's family. But now, she has become even more aggressive and tried to bully Shi Mei. Then I can no longer sit idly by!"

In this ancient and traditional world, women are generally believed to stay in the backyard, doing housework, serving their husbands and raising children.

This concept is so deeply rooted in people's minds that it is almost impossible for people to imagine that a woman can surpass men and hold a higher official position. After all, in the eyes of most people, men are the dominant force in society and have more wisdom and ability to govern the country.

So they would rather believe that the national teacher is a man, rather than Ran Qi.

Therefore, when people heard Liu Xiangyun say something completely different, even though they knew it was contradictory and unfounded, they still tended to believe what she said.

"Great! We were almost deceived. What sinister intentions they have!" A guest shouted indignantly during the banquet.

His voice was particularly loud in the noisy atmosphere, and it resonated with the people around him. For a moment, accusations were heard everywhere, as if to drown Liu Xiangyun. Faced with such a surging wave of doubts,

Liu Xiangyun never thought that everyone would believe what she said.

But she was also secretly happy. She just hoped that everyone would believe it, so that this woman Ran Qi would be punished today.

Sure enough, even the guards brought by Eunuch Liu began to hesitate.

It is true that Ran Qi's identity as the national teacher was hidden too well. Apart from the emperor, eunuch Liu, and several concubines in the harem, no one knew that Ran Qi was the national teacher.

And according to the stereotype, officials should be men.

Seeing that the guards were somewhat relaxed, Liu Xiangyun continued, "He is the new champion. If you hurt him, we will see how you will explain it to the emperor."
