Wang Yinyi turned sideways, feeling powerless and not daring to look anymore.

Ye Zhaobo was furious when he heard this. He was afraid that Nanny Wang would start to blame her and bring disaster to his wife and daughter, so he said hastily, "Drag her out immediately! Beat her to death!"

"No!" As Nanny Wang screamed, Wang Yinyi tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, angry but not daring to say anything.

Hua Yu said nothing. Last night, the princess reminded him with a story about Xi Shi, and today he saw her act so decisively.

He truly felt that Princess An Ning was very powerful. However, he was somewhat puzzled as to why she kept saying those foul words in the court yesterday.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Lin Wanwan stood up lightly and returned to the East Courtyard.

After seeing Lin Wanwan leave, Wang Yinyi fell into a chair, tears in her eyes, and gnashed her teeth and said:

"Master, Nanny Wang is my personal nanny who came with my dowry! She has been with me for thirty-eight years!"

Ye Zhaobo also sat down: "If I don't beat Wang Ma to death, I'm afraid I won't be able to report to the emperor."

Wang Yinyi continued to cry and complain, "This princess is too arrogant. She has not taken us seriously since she had a high fever! We have been running this mansion for many years. How can we allow a little girl like her to act so arrogantly!"

"Madam!" Ye Zhaobo frowned upon hearing this, his face gloomy, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction:

"Humph, she is so domineering, she will be punished sooner or later. But now she has been favored by the emperor and is in the limelight. We should take a long-term view and not act rashly."

At this time, Ye Sisi heard the news that Nanny Wang was beaten to death, and hurried over. She stamped her feet in anger, and her pretty face seemed a little distorted because of anger:

"Look at how majestic she is. I really can't swallow this! Besides, she has such a handsome man beside her. I don't know where this wild man came from. How can she have him?"

Ye Zhaobo said: "Sisi, stop talking nonsense, he is the prince of Yunhai Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Ye Sisi quickly shut her mouth and dared not say anything else. However, in her heart, she wanted to possess Hua Yu even more.

Hua Yu is so handsome, but he is actually a member of the royal family.

……

At the Fifth Princess's Mansion,

Lin Meihua was wearing a purple palace dress, and the gold phoenix embroidered on the hem of her skirt flickered in the candlelight.

She sat upright on a carved sandalwood chair with her brows furrowed. When she thought of her father's attitude towards Lin Wanwan and his special permission for her to take the imperial examination, she became furious.

"Princess, please have your meal." A male waiter came over gently and placed the peach blossom pastry in his hand on the table beside him.

Lin Meihua took a look and saw that it was her male favorite, Li Lingyu. She usually thought Li Lingyu was handsome, but after meeting Hua Yu, she felt that Li Lingyu was boring.

He had no appetite even for the peach blossom pastry that Li Lingyu had carefully prepared.

"Get out!" The fifth princess Lin Meihua was extremely angry, her eyes revealing an unconcealable anger and jealousy, and she overturned all the food in an instant.

Li Lingyu obediently picked up pieces of peach blossom pastry from the ground.

Lin Meihua looked at Li Lingyu who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.

Li Lingyu was trembling, his body still covered with blood marks from being whipped. Lin Meihua's sudden anger frightened him terribly.

"You useless thing!" Lin Meihua suddenly shouted angrily, "You can't even handle such a small matter!"

As she spoke, she picked up the whip beside her and lashed at Li Lingyu fiercely. The whip cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and then fell mercilessly on Li Lingyu's body.

Li Lingyu clenched his teeth and dared not make a sound, but his body was shaking violently due to the pain.

"What's the point of me raising you!" Lin Meihua cursed while waving the whip.

The whip fell like raindrops, Li Lingyu's clothes were torn, and blood marks appeared on his body.

After the fight, Lin Meihua seemed still unsatisfied and threw the teacup on the table at Li Lingyu.

"Kneel here tonight and reflect on your mistakes!" Lin Meihua said viciously.

Li Lingyu knelt weakly, the pain from his wound almost made him faint, but he could only hold on and silently endure all this torture...

Suddenly, Lin Meihua seemed to think of something: "Go back. Your father will come to see me tonight."

Li Lingyu nodded and said yes.

That night, night fell.

Lin Meihua hurriedly moved to the depths of the backyard of the mansion and opened a hidden secret room.

She entered the secret room alone and lit up this secret room that few people knew about on a normal day.

A full hour passed.

The door was gently pushed open, and a figure walked in cautiously.

Lin Meihua saw the person coming and it was the invigilator of this special examination, Cabinet Minister Li Da.

"Master Li, how are you?"

"Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess." As soon as Lord Li entered the room, he knelt down and saluted. He was thin and his small eyes were always rolling around.

Lin Meihua smiled, raised her hand slightly, motioned him to stand up, and said in a cold tone: "Master Li, this time, I would like to ask Master Li for a small favor."

Li Da felt uneasy. He stood up straight and could only say timidly, "I am a stupid person. I hope the princess can give me some advice."

Lin Meihua snorted coldly, slapped the table, stood up suddenly, took a few quick steps, stared at him with a sharp gaze, and said:

"That Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan, stole the limelight that originally belonged to this princess at the Queen Mother's Qianqiu Palace Banquet.

She will not be allowed to pass this special exam, do you understand?"

Li Da smiled slightly and said, "There are many candidates for the special examination. I don't think Princess An Ning will be able to pass."

"Maybe not?" Lin Meihua's eyes were sharp. "What I want is not maybe, but definitely. No matter what means you use, she will definitely fail the exam."

"This..." Li Da's heart was shocked. He secretly raised his eyes to glance at the princess' angry expression, then quickly lowered his head.

"Master Li, you are the chief examiner of this special exam. If you let Lin Wanwan fail the exam, isn't it as easy as crushing an ant for you?"

"At the Qianqiu Banquet, it was His Majesty's golden words..." Li Da's back was covered with cold sweat, and he stammered, "Your Highness, this... this imperial examination is of great importance. I am afraid that..."

Before he could finish, Lin Meihua hurried back to her seat, interrupted him abruptly, and said sternly: "Master Li, don't forget how you got your official position?"

Li Da didn't dare to say anything more.

Lin Meihua added, "If you hadn't sent my son to my bed, would you have been able to achieve your current status? Now that I need you to do something, you are being so reluctant? It seems that your Li family has been living too comfortably."

Lord Li was so frightened that his legs went limp. He knelt on the ground again and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Princess, calm down! Princess, calm down! I dare not. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, even if I die!"

After leaving the secret room, Li Da was furious. He thought to himself, Princess An Ning is just a woman, it's impossible for her to pass the exam. How could such a thing be worthy of her humiliating me like this!

The fifth princess, Lin Meihua, must have been blinded by jealousy!

Li Da took advantage of the night and left.
