The emperor sneered: "If I wanted you to die, you would have died a long time ago!" It's true, but you came up with evidence and dragged two important ministers into the water in a row, I see that you are tired of living!"

Yan Po's lips trembled and he didn't know how to explain, but the emperor waved his hand, unwilling to listen to his nonsense.

"You'd better explain the bunch of things in that box, or the damage to the exam papers will be severe, so you can go back and change my clothes first, and see what kind of body you have become!"

"Yes, I'll go back and change it." Yan Po respectfully withdrew from the imperial study, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

After Yan Po left, the emperor threw the brush in his hand on the ground.

"After the order, notices will be posted in various parts of the capital, allowing the candidates to enter the palace for selection, and I will personally assess them."

"Yes." Father-in-law Cui responded, and then ordered the little eunuch next to him to do it.

"Also, let Zhiyao enter the palace." After speaking, the emperor closed his eyes and rubbed the sore forehead.

"The old slave obeys."

Not long after, Sheng Zhiyao entered the palace, accompanied by her big dog, but this time there was a person on the big dog.

The atmosphere in the imperial study was extremely depressing, and the emperor sat on the chair and was silent.

Sheng Zhiyao stood, waiting for the emperor's admonition.

After a long time, the emperor finally opened his eyes and looked at Sheng Zhiyao, who had been hanging his head down.

"Do you know what's wrong?" The emperor asked coldly.

Sheng Zhiyao stiffened.

She raised her head and looked at the emperor, this was the first time she had seen the emperor angry with her.

The emperor's expression was very calm, but she felt that he seemed to be holding back a monstrous anger.

She gritted her teeth and insisted, "There is a mistake, but I am also forced to do it."

The emperor frowned: "What is the last resort to let you do this?"

"Grandpa Huang, before the imperial examination, King Wu sent someone to injure my eldest brother's hand, causing the eldest brother's arm bone to break, I finally cured my eldest brother on the day of the scientific examination, and because King Wu sent someone to replace the eldest brother's answer sheet, Yan Po still had to kill people, I was afraid that the eldest brother would not be able to win the throne, so I asked the two little snakes around me to scare Lord Yan, and before he entered the palace, I burned the answer sheet in the box."

After she finished speaking, the emperor thought solemnly.

"What's going on with that city?" The emperor asked.

"Li Cheng originally had a grudge against Yan Po, Li Cheng was very good at governing the army back then, but he was suppressed by Yan Po without a background, and then he was given a place by the child of a distant relative of Yan Po, and Li Cheng was sent to Yuanchen's military camp, Yuanchen's military camp was full of people who others didn't want, but because of this, it was a blessing in disguise, there were no idlers, and there were no rats."

The emperor sighed: "What about those answer sheets? Is it really burned?"

"Well, yes." Sheng Zhiyao said in a low voice, her voice gradually becoming smaller.

"Well, why don't you come and tell me about all this happening?"

"Grandpa Huang is so busy, how can he trouble you with anything."

"You are my granddaughter-in-law, I don't care who cares about your business?" The emperor scolded, "Besides, I'm really busy."

Sheng Zhiyao pursed her mouth after hearing this: "Well, Grandpa Huang, I originally planned to burn your imperial study, but then Yuanchen stopped me, and I wanted to burn the box."

"What?" The emperor was immediately furious, "You still want to burn my imperial study!"

"Yes...... I'm sorry Grandpa, I—I'm just in a hurry, and I haven't thought it through, but I'll definitely pay attention next time."

The emperor glared at her, so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

After a long time, he said, "You are really bold, and next time, next time, will you burn the palace to the imperial grandfather?"

"Grandpa Huang, no!" Sheng Zhiyao hurriedly promised.

"Hmph, dare to talk back!" The emperor shouted angrily, "You go back to the mansion immediately, reflect on it, confine yourself in the Hou Mansion, and wake up the person you brought."

Sheng Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, and said unwillingly, "Grandpa Huang, I don't want to be grounded."

The emperor sneered: "You return."

Dare to bargain!"

"Don't dare."

"Why don't you go back soon, are you waiting for Grandpa Huang to invite you back?"

"Oh." Sheng Zhiyao pursed her lips and left unconvinced.

The emperor looked at her departing back, his eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and after a long time, he suddenly showed a faint smile and muttered: "Sure enough, it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, and the blue is better than the blue!"

"Your Majesty." Seeing that the emperor's face was a little pale, Gonggong Cui hurriedly stepped forward to serve, "The county lord doesn't have any bad intentions, she just doesn't want to be wronged."

"I know she doesn't have bad intentions." The emperor said slowly, "This time, I believe that she is just impulsive, but it is not necessarily a bad thing, but she wants to burn my imperial study, I must not knock her, what if she really burns me one day?"

"Then Your Majesty is right to punish her." Cui Gonggong said with a smile.

"Well, after all, she is my Feng family, and I always have to protect her."

"Your Majesty."

"I don't need to talk about this for now." The emperor waved his hand and asked, "Interrogate this person properly."

Father-in-law Cui bowed: "Yes."

Sheng Zhiyao returned to Sheng's house, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Mei'er guarding the courtyard, while Sheng Zhengye was standing on the steps waiting for her.

"Father." Sheng Zhiyao shouted.

When Sheng Zhengye saw her, he asked, "Where have you been? Your mother has sought you several times, and you have not said anything."

Sheng Zhiyao lied without changing his face: "I went to the palace."

Sheng Zhengye frowned: "What are you going to do in the palace?" Aren't you supposed to be helping your big brother soak in a medicated bath?"

"Well, I'm going to find Grandpa Huang today."

"You're in trouble again, aren't you? How could Grandpa Huang let you go to him?" Sheng Zhengye's eyes widened.

Sheng Zhiyao stuck out her tongue: "Grandpa Huang asked me to reflect on it."

Sheng Zhengye was relieved when he heard this, sighed and said, "Zhiyao, what mistake did you make? Your imperial grandfather has made you reflect."

"Well, father, I told you not to scold me."

"Well, you just say."

"Actually, it's not a big deal, I just burned the test papers of the candidates in the Gongyuan." Sheng Zhiyao lowered her eyelids, looking like she had done something wrong.

"What? Sheng Zhiyao, what are you talking about?" Sheng Zhengye exclaimed.

"I said, I just burned the test papers of the candidates of the Gongyuan." Sheng Zhiyao raised her eyes and repeated seriously, "Because I was so angry, I lost my mind for a while, so I burned the test paper."

"Nonsense!" Sheng Zhengye was furious, eager to slap his stupid girl to death, "Are you crazy? What kind of place is Gongyuan, you actually go to burn the test papers?"

"I'm not crazy. I was very sober, I burned those test papers as soon as my brain was hot, and now it's too late to regret it, the imperial grandfather has already punished me for being grounded in the mansion." Sheng Zhiyao muttered aggrievedly.
