"So what if he is the emperor's biological brother? The imperial examination is our only hope."

"Make this a big deal."

As they were arguing, an older student walked in.

"Please don't be impulsive. This matter has not been concluded yet. We must not act rashly. Not to mention that we have no evidence, even if we do have evidence, submitting a petition may not be the best solution. The court has its own considerations. If we act rashly, it may backfire."

"If it gets out of hand, what if someone gets desperate and turns into a killer?"

After hearing his words, everyone fell into deep thought.

At this time, a young student stood up.

"I don't believe the emperor will kill me. Wouldn't that chill the hearts of scholars all over the world?"

The older student has taken the exam for many years, and he will only be more anxious and angry than these younger students.

"There must be something fishy about this."

The young student could no longer hold back, he wanted so badly to seek justice for himself.

"No matter what's going on behind the scenes, as long as we expose it in broad daylight, they won't be able to bully us."

He stood up and said to the others, "Who of you wants to join me?"

One person immediately followed him and stood up. After a moment, two more people stood up hesitantly.

"We'll go with you."

The four of them walked out of the house together, and they looked back deeply.

"You cowards, after we get you justice, don't come and share the spoils."

Perhaps being accused of cowardice stung them, and the few remaining men stood up.

For a moment, only the oldest candidate remained in the room.

He shook his head slightly.

Although this year was his last time to take part in the imperial examination, he did not think that this imperial examination cheating case could be handled by a group of students and candidates without any background.

But I think the court will give them nominal justice for the sake of face.

-----------------

The outraged students pushed the news of the imperial examination cheating case to a climax.

The news that this case was related to Yunli was originally only circulated in a small circle, but now everyone knows it.

It was Prince Xun Yunzhi who leaked the imperial examination questions in advance in order to attract more disciples and subordinates.

He only leaked it to a few candidates.

However, no one expected that those candidates were so careless with their words that they actually talked about this matter loudly while having dinner in the restaurant and were overheard by others, which led to the subsequent series of events.

The person Yunli was in collusion with was Cheng Min, the chief examiner of this exam.

Cheng Min and Yunli did have a good relationship. Although one of them was a scholar and the other a military man, they could still talk to each other on a daily basis.

It is not impossible that the two of them colluded to leak the test questions.

When Yixiu heard the news in the harem, she immediately understood what was going on.

I'm afraid it's the remnants of the brothers who came before who are still refusing to give up.

He took advantage of the imperial examination to find a way to divide Yinzhen and Yunzhi.

Yinzhen and Yunzhi are brothers. If they are allowed to continue, Yinzhen's throne will become more and more stable.

The Yunli she has contacted so far would not do these things.

However, although outsiders were trying to divide Yinzhen and Yunzhi, these actions just hit Yinzhen's heart.

After all, Yinzhen himself was also afraid of Yunli.

Yixiu thought of the imperial edict left by Emperor Kangxi in his previous life.

During that period, Yinzhen was extremely anxious, as he felt that Kangxi would pass the throne to Yunli.

Although the throne was passed to him in the end, he still had some resentment and eventually took action against Yunli.

As expected, Yinzhen took away all the power from Yunli by giving the students a fair reason for investigation.

In fact, Yunli has been in the military officer system for so many years and has nothing to do with the civil officer system. Even if students all over the world regard him as their teacher, he is still a general.

But what Yinzhen took away was his military power.

Everyone knew what Yinzhen meant, but no one dared to say it.

Yixiu thought of all the things Yunli had done to help her, and her brows furrowed.

At this moment, she was struggling in her heart, should she go to help Yunli?

This is not ordinary help. It is difficult for her to leave the palace now. If she wants to help Yunli, the risk is not small.

But she believed Yunli was innocent.

Yixiu was torn between her conscience and her desires.

After half a day, she finally decided that she would go and help Yunli.

After all, Yunli risked his life to save her.

Yixiu greeted Yinzhen and called Jinghua into the palace.

Yinzhen didn't think much about it. After all, Li Rongbao was also busy investigating the matter. Jinghua would inevitably be anxious being alone at home, so it would be okay to let the two sisters have a good chat.

When Li Rongbao learned that Yixiu had sent a message to Jinghua, he immediately guessed what Yixiu wanted to do.

It seems that my father-in-law is destined to be worried.

Li Rongbao told Jinghua everything he knew, "If the Queen asks, tell her everything."

-----------------

"What did the person that Prince Xun met that day look like?"

Jinghua gave a brief description, and Yixiu frowned, "The person you are talking about doesn't seem to be Cheng Min."

"But Li Rongbao said that many people saw the Fourteenth Master and Lord Cheng together."

"So many people. Who are these people? Are they the students? Or are they people with ulterior motives who have planted pawns among them and spread rumors?"

Jinghua's eyes lit up, "Yes, Queen, you are right. I run a teahouse and often hear a lot of news, many of which are spread from these markets."

Yi Xiu said: "Since General Fu Cha is investigating this matter, I will give you a direction to investigate those people related to the prince."

"Yun-tzu, Yun-jeng, Yun-si, and Yun-lu."

Jinghua nodded, "I'll tell you when I get back."

-----------------

Two days later, Jinghua brought news.

They found out that the reason those students were influenced by these rumors was because some of the candidates' families actually saw Yunli with a man.

It doesn't matter who the man is.

When considering the news that Yunzhi and Cheng Min were colluding, everyone naturally presumed that it was Cheng Min.

But Jinghua never found out the man's identity.

Perhaps it was because she could only describe it verbally, so she couldn't describe it clearly.

Yixiu thought that the second and ninth brothers were most likely to take action.

"You guys keep investigating. Maybe it's not someone directly affiliated with them. It's possible that someone who has some connection with them took action."

Yixiu originally wanted to wait until Li Rongbao found out the follow-up before going to talk to Yunli about this matter.

But now it was obvious that he couldn't wait any longer.

The court and the people were full of voices calling for the punishment of Yunli.

Yixiu decided to meet Yunli, perhaps he knew who that person was.

I wonder if the people around Yunli now are all Yinzhen’s people.

But now he has been under house arrest by Yinzhen, and it is extremely difficult for her to see Yunli.

Yixiu blamed Lao Shisi in her heart: I asked you to marry and go to Tibet but you refused to go. Now look what happened, you’ve been locked up!
