Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

An uproar!

This, this, could this person really be Prince Yuan Sheng's husband? !

Even the emperor began to frown, and all the officials looked at each other with different expressions.

Xiao Zhixing sneered, "Come again."

Ying Er stepped on his other leg and broke it.

Qian Fen howled, his legs covered in blood, "Prince, Prince, ahhhh..., how can you be so ruthless?! Are you going to kill me? Prince, I, I won't accept this, I like you so much, and you actually, actually want to kill me? Oh God, please open your eyes——"

It is so sad that it makes anyone who hears it cry.

Xiao Zhixing took a breath, she knew she had met her match.

"Your Highness, are you trying to kill people to silence them?" The leading candidate couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to stop Ying Er.

Xiao Zhixing waved his hand to let Ying Er retreat, and looked at Qian Fen sternly, "You are so stubborn."

She turned and bowed to Zhao Yunqi, "Your Majesty, this matter is too strange. Now it's not them who are asking for justice, but I am asking for justice."

She raised her eyes and stared at Zhao Yunqi with a vaguely suspicious look.

Zhao Yunqi nodded solemnly, "I believe you, my dear minister. This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Let the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice investigate the case together and give everyone the truth."

Zhang Rengui and Feng Liyan stepped out.

Zhao Yunqi took a look and thought that he was being unfair to Xiao Zhixing, so he added, "Master Li and Minister Zhao should also join in."

The four of them immediately began to question Qian Fen, mainly targeting him. It turned out that Qian Fen was almost fainting from the pain, but he insisted that he was the son-in-law that Xiao Zhixing had found, and he definitely did not recognize the wrong person.

Things came to a standstill.

Xiao Yuanshan, who rushed over in a hurry, couldn't say a word. The more he listened, the angrier he became. He wished he could kill Qian Fen on the spot.

Zhao Kun asked again, "You said that Prince Yuan Sheng met with you many times. When and where did it happen? Are there any witnesses?"

"There are no other witnesses. Hiss... huhu, the prince always comes to my house to see me at night... or, or in the evening. I understand that a person like her doesn't want to be seen. There are ways, but my mother has seen her. Can she testify?"

"The neighbors must have seen it from afar, and they can also provide some evidence..."

The onlookers whispered and began to side with Qian Fen, because his appearance at this moment was too convincing. Who could lie after losing half his life?

Zhang Rengui said, "Your Majesty, please let someone give Qian Juzi a chance to be cured first. We can't let him die."

Fulu immediately went to summon the imperial physician.

Feng Liyan asked Qian Fen, "You said that Prince Yuan Sheng gave you the exam questions. Is that true? Do you have any evidence? When, where, and through whom did she give them to you?"

Everyone pricked up their ears, this was the most crucial point.

Qian Fen's face was pale, and he cried out in pain and groaned intermittently, "Yes, it's the truth. On the night when the sample questions came out, she sent a secret guard to deliver them to me. It was around the quarter after midnight. I still have the original manuscript in my room..."

The discussions around became louder, and the candidates glared at Xiao Zhixing.

Xiao Zhixing smiled.

Duke Li and Nian Changling looked at each other, their eyes moving slightly.

Zhao Yunqi frowned slightly.

The Emperor System was spinning frantically. "If that's the case... how could it be possible? Impossible, how did the sample test get leaked? The time was so short!"

Yes, the sample questions were leaked as soon as they came out, and I couldn’t even wait.

The leading candidate was furious, "Prince Yuansheng, do you have anything else to say?"

Xiao Zhixing laughed sarcastically, "It seems that I am very stupid. I couldn't wait for the test paper to be printed before I leaked the sample questions."

There are still many opportunities to send it out in the next few days, why do you have to do it so early?

Qian Fen was ashamed, "It's my fault, I'm too stupid. If I had gotten the test papers earlier, I would have had enough time to solve the questions and polish them."

"Prince Yuansheng, can you plead guilty now?" the scholar asked angrily.

Xiao Zhixing sneered, "I am innocent! Why should I admit it?"

"you!!"

Suddenly, Zhang Shanhai came hurriedly with a group of people, including Qian Fen’s parents and several neighbors.

"Ah, my son, my son——" Qian's mother, who was carrying a bundle on her back, screamed and rushed over when she saw her son's miserable appearance.

Qian's father was also horrified, "Fen'er, kid, what happened to you? Who hit you? Huh?"

Looking at the family of three hugging each other and crying, no matter how hateful Qian Fen is, people can't help but feel pity for him.

After the two old people regained some sense, Zhang Rengui began to question them one by one.

First, the neighbors confirmed that a noble lady had indeed come in and out of the Qian family a month or two before the imperial examination, and had given the Qian family many valuable gifts, which made them extremely envious.

Li Xiao frowned and asked, "Didn't you see that person's face?"

One of them shook his head in fear, "That person was high up in the sky, and he rode past very quickly, so how could we see his face clearly? If we accidentally offended him, we would be in big trouble."

"So you can't be sure that it was Prince Yuan Sheng?"

Another person said, "How do we know Prince Yuan Sheng? Didn't the Qian family reveal it themselves? Their own family must know it."

"We heard that Prince Yuan Sheng likes to ride a black horse and wear dark red clothes. That person is him."

Several people glanced at Xiao Zhixing, clearly indicating that this was what she was like now.

Li Xiao emphasized, "But we can't be sure that it is Prince Yuan Sheng just by looking at these external objects!"

"That's right. It's obvious that someone is pretending to be Prince Yuan Sheng and framing us."

"What's wrong with questions like that? Can ordinary people get sample questions?!"

The onlookers began to argue with each other, each with their own reasons for being biased.

[Red barrage: What went wrong? We can confirm that the person is definitely fake, but we need evidence! ]

[Yellow barrage: Yes, we all know that someone is plotting this, but there must be definite evidence to prove that the prince is innocent. ]

【Green barrage: The situation is not good now. 】

【Yellow barrage: Don’t worry, I just saw that the prince seems to have made up his mind. 】

[Red barrage: But this person named Qian insisted that he was the prince, and we can't kill him, otherwise it will be even more difficult to explain. ]

【Green barrage: Oh, I am so anxious, who is behind this? This move is too vicious. Once it is implemented, it will not only destroy Xiao Zhixing's reputation as a boudoir, but also her reputation as a scholar and official. 】

[Red barrage: Could it be the emperor? Or the northern barbarians? The Feng family? ]

[Yellow barrage: The Tianjie in front is like the Northern Barbarians, the one in front of him doesn't seem like the calculations that his country would have. ]

[Red barrage: Hiss, let me touch it, I seem to...]

At this time, Qian's mother, who had been silent the whole time, came out on her knees, took off the bundle behind her and opened it, crying and angrily saying, "Your Majesty, everyone, I have evidence. This is a gift from Prince Yuansheng to my family."

She trembled as she took out a few exquisite handkerchiefs and a few gorgeous hairpins. "Please examine them, gentlemen. This one has the emblem of the Zhenguo Palace, and this handkerchief has her usual embroidery pattern!"

"We didn't slander her. If we tell lies, God will strike us down!"

Suddenly, the pile of things on the ground became the focus of the whole audience.

The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Xiao Zhixing.

Public opinion also began to favor Qian Fen.

Everyone looked at Xiao Zhixing with a sullen face, waiting for her reaction.
