Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

"This matter needs further investigation. Take them away!" The gavel was slammed, and both mother and son were dragged away.

Xue Hu was anxious: "Sir! We didn't do this on purpose. Please understand!"

The matter is so clear and has nothing to do with him, so why is he still locked up?

The official in the hall smiled coldly: "Xue Hu, you are a scholar at least! You should have learned the laws of the Dali Kingdom, right?"

"Don't waste your words on him!" Another official spat at Xue Hu without caring about his image, "You have no right to speak here!"

Several burly yamen runners pulled Xue Hu down again.

Waves of fear gradually surged in Xue Hu's heart.

Things seem to be completely off the rails!

Xue Hu's mother was also thrown into the cell without mercy, next to Xue Hu.

"Ah Hu, what happened?" Xue Hu's mother rushed to her son's cell in tears, "Why were you beaten like this? Didn't they say that scholars don't have to kneel or be tortured?"

Xue Hu said helplessly: "Mom, the problem now is that I didn't commit any crime at all."

"Then go ahead and sue! You are a scholar, you can report it directly to the emperor!" Xue Hu's mother said gritting her teeth.

Xue Hu smiled bitterly: "Mother, you think your son is too capable. The emperor? Now your son has offended the queen!"

Xue Hu's mother was shocked when she heard this: "You little bastard, why would you offend the queen?"

"Mom, you won't understand even if I tell you. My son is tired and wants to rest. You should rest too and save your energy. You don't know what you will encounter tomorrow."

After Xue Hu finished speaking, he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

It was only after experiencing this that he realized that in the face of power, everything is bullshit!

Queen... Hehe, wait, there will be a day when you will be pulled down from the altar! Chunyu, Yunying, you all just wait!

That night, Chunyu found a way to visit the prison in Dali Temple.

When Xue Hu saw Chunyu's slightly haggard face appear outside the cell, a strong sense of resentment surged in his heart.

But he quickly hid his resentment and replaced it with a pitiful look.

Chunyu looked at the bloodstains all over Xue Hu's body, her eyes filled with sadness and grief.

"Brother Ahu...you've suffered! It's all my fault!"

Her tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would burst out at any moment.

Her lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

"I don't blame you!" Xue Hu pretended to be tolerant on the surface.

The resentment in my heart towards Chun Yu had already reached its peak.

If Chunyu hadn't asked someone to take his pulse, how could he have been discovered to have been poisoned?

If Chunyu hadn't hidden the pastries he gave her and hadn't been discovered, how could he have ended up in jail?

"Chun Yu, you have kept the pastry in the room for a long time, right? Has it been touched by anyone?" Xue Hu reminded her 'kindly'.

Chun Yu was stunned: "Oh, that's right! It's been so long, who knows who poisoned me?"

No matter what, she would never believe that Brother Xue Hu poisoned her.

"Brother Xue Hu, is it because you poisoned the food that the government has locked you up and tortured you?"

"Well, they also suspected that my intention was to harm the Queen."

"How is that possible? The Queen is never here."

"I understand them." Xue Hu grinned and then hissed.

Chunyu shed more tears: "Brother Xue Hu, do they suspect that you will harm the queen just because I am her maid?"

"Yes, Chunyu is really smart." Xue Hu reached out, through the fence, and gently touched Chunyu's head.

"Chun Yu, you are too innocent and kind! I can only say that things are unpredictable and people are treacherous. There are so many people in the manor, and there are many who are jealous of me and you. If I can get out, you can only rely on yourself to protect yourself in the future."

Chunyu was stunned after hearing this.

"Brother Xue Hu, are you saying..."

"I didn't say anything." Xue Hu shook his head. "I just hope you can take good care of yourself in the future. Don't be easily deceived by other people's friendship."

"But...but you obviously didn't do it?" Chunyu burst into tears.

"That's not important." Xue Hu held Chun Yu's hand, stared into her eyes and whispered, "What's important is that I have never had any contact with the queen before, so they have reason to suspect me."

I hope this girl can come to her senses this time.

Chunyu was driven away by the yamen runners.

She returned to the farm in a daze and sat on the kang, feeling dizzy.

That’s Xue Hu, the high-spirited scholar!

How could he be tortured like this?

She must help Xue Hu get justice!

The next day, Chunyu knelt in front of the yamen and declared that he was the one who harmed his master.

After Yun Xi received the report from the Dali Temple, she remained silent.

They actually said that there was no reason to detain Xue Hu any longer and he had to be released.

Chunyu must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!

He actually pointed the finger at Lv Yi, saying that it was Lv Yi who poisoned her.

And a packet of poison was indeed found under Lvyi's bed.

Yun Xi dared to guarantee with his life that Lv Yi was innocent.

If Chun Yu was the one who put the poison there, it only shows how stupid Chun Yu is.

But if it was released by Xue Hu, it can only be said that Xue Hu’s ability is too great!

The Dali Temple was trying a case these two days, and Yun Xi was not idle either.

After Xue Hu passed the examination for a scholar, he delayed taking the examination for a juren. This not only confused others, but she was also puzzled.

After constantly interacting with Xue Hu's classmates, Yun Xi had a vague feeling: Xue Hu's academic performance was average, and unless he guessed the questions well and asked his seniors to explain them to him, he would never be able to pass the exam.

After talking to several senior brothers who had coached Xue Hu, Yun Xi became even more suspicious.

Because he didn't do the guessing questions they gave him. Instead, he took a few questions and asked different senior brothers to explain them.

And these questions happened to be the same as the questions in the imperial examination he took part in!

"Let's put this aside for now. I suspect there is something wrong with Xue Hu's performance in the imperial examination." Yun Xi presented a stack of evidence in front of the official.

When the officials from the Dali Temple saw this, they couldn't sit still anymore.

Throughout the dynasties, cheating in the imperial examinations was the most intolerable thing.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to go back and investigate."

"Well, check it out carefully. Didn't you find some unknown letters from Xue Hu's home? You can quietly ask other students he knows."

"Yes." The officials from the Dali Temple left in a hurry.

"Empress, can Chunyu come back?" Lvyi, who had been waiting outside, came in to inquire after seeing the officials leave.

She has been feeling uneasy ever since Chunyu left this morning.

"Lvyi, Chunyu said that you were the one who poisoned the cakes." Yunxi looked at Lvyi calmly, "The government found poison under your bed."

No wonder it is called plastic sisterhood. In front of love, sisterhood is bullshit!

"Ah?" Lu Yi was so frightened that his soul flew away and his face turned pale.

"How could I have poison? Where did it come from? Did I come into contact with poison?"
