Sheng Zhengye took a deep breath: "Since the burn is burned, what's the point of being upset now? I'll go and tell your mother, and I'll come to the palace tomorrow to plead for you, hey!"

"No need." Sheng Zhiyao shook his head, "Father, you don't have to go, I'm not afraid of the emperor's grandfather's blame, and I don't need to plead, I'll bear it myself."

Sheng Zhengye was stunned and looked at Sheng Zhiyao suspiciously: "...... you?"

Sheng Zhiyao smiled slightly, her eyes were resolute: "Father, don't worry, I'm not stupid, Grandpa Huang definitely didn't let me be grounded for this reason, although I am young, I also know some things, I won't sit still."

"You know?" Sheng Zhengye looked at her suspiciously, "Zhiyao, although you are very smart, there are some things you still have to learn more, don't always feel that you can do everything."

"Father, don't worry, I remember it all in my heart." Sheng Zhiyao nodded, "You don't have to worry about me, I'll go back to the room first." After saying that, he turned around and ran into the house.

Watching her background disappear, Sheng Zhengye thought thoughtfully, this girl has indeed been a little different from before recently. He thought about it for a while and decided to go to his wife to discuss, so as not to catch the two of them off guard when something happened.

"What? Zhiyao burned the rolls his brother made?" Qi Xinyue was taken aback and suddenly stood up from her chair, "Can the emperor let her go?"

"I don't know, who can guess this kind of thing?" Sheng Zhengye was worried, he rubbed his forehead, "Zhiyao is usually quite well-behaved and obedient, but why is she so impulsive this time. Alas......"

Qi Xinyue pondered for a moment: "No, this matter must be told to the father, otherwise how can the two of us protect our daughter?"

"You're right." Sheng Zhengye nodded, "I have to tell my father about this."

The two hurried to Qingliuyuan and were about to knock on the door, but they were stopped by the sound of talking from inside the door.

"Come in!"

Qi Xinyue pulled her husband to push the door in, and saw her father sitting at the table with a solemn expression.

"It's so late, you husband and wife rushed over for the sake of Zhiyao?" Sheng Lixin asked as he picked up the teacup in front of him.

Qi Xinyue nodded hurriedly and said eagerly, "Zhiyao has caused a big disaster."

"Oh, what's the trouble?"

"Zhiyao, she burned the test papers in the examination room." Sheng Zhengye took over, "The emperor punished her for being grounded in the mansion."

"Hehe~" Sheng Lixin snorted lightly, "This kid is a fierce man, and he deserves to be the daughter of my Sheng family."

"Father, will Zhi Yao be punished in other ways?"

Sheng Lixin was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Isn't this already punished? What other penalties can there be?"

"It's not a fear ......."

"It's okay, relax."

"That's good." Qi Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief.

Sheng Lixin looked at Sheng Zhengye and said earnestly: "Zhengye, although Zhiyao is a little naughty, but she is not a vicious person in her heart, she is also for Hanmo this time, you don't blindly blame her, although it was handled inappropriately, but it didn't burn down the imperial study."

"What? Why did you still burn down the imperial study?" Qi Xinyue was so frightened when she heard this, "How can the imperial study be a place that can be burned casually? How bold is this child?"

"Shhhhhh Sheng Lixin motioned for her to be silent, "Be quiet, isn't it that it hasn't been burned yet, and besides, the emperor punished her because he was afraid that she would really burn the imperial study!"

"Father, what you said was the exam paper that Yao burned for Han Mo?" Sheng Zhengye's eyes widened in shock, "Why?"

"It's not because someone framed her brother." Sheng Lixin smiled and said, "Otherwise, she would be so bold?"

"Framed?" Sheng Zhengye was immediately furious, "Who is it? Who would dare to do that?"

"Who else, Yan Pobei!"

Sheng Zhengye's face turned pale: "He, why did he do this?"

Sheng Lixin snorted coldly: "What else can I do, for fame and profit, for my children."

Sheng Zhengye clenched his fists: "That Yan family is a stupid son, who falls in love with the girl of the Zhongshu Shilang Wen's family, and he has to force the other party to marry him.

If Lord Wen didn't agree, he sent someone to destroy the reputation of someone else's daughter, and also framed the Zhongshu Shilang for bribing officials, but fortunately, someone proved that Lord Wen was innocent, otherwise the family would not have been ruined."

"Okay, how can he Yan Po have so much ability to do so many things, it's still thanks to the person behind him."

"Who?"

Sheng Lixin glanced at him and said lightly, "You're not so stupid that you can't even guess this character."

"You mean......" Sheng Zhengye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "It's him!"

"Of course, the love of parents is far-reaching, and Yan Po also made a bloody effort for his son, otherwise he would not have come up with such a poisonous plan."

"What about Zhiyao? Now that she has broken a big deal, can Yan Po let Zhi Yao go?" Qi Xinyue was so anxious that she couldn't do it.

"Then don't worry, they don't know, and he can't protect himself now, the emperor has posted a notice, and all the candidates will answer questions in front of the palace."

"Q&A in front of the palace?"

"That's right, that's the strategy for today's assessment." Sheng Lixin nodded, "The paper burned by Zhi Yao is the test question of the Hanlin Academy."

"That...... Won't the emperor personally invigilate the exam?" When Qi Xinyue heard this, she became even more anxious.

Sheng Lixin sighed: "So this is also beneficial to Han Mo, avoiding the phenomenon of favoritism and fraud, and it is no harm to Han Mo!"

When Qi Xinyue heard this, she was instantly deflated: "But my daughter-in-law is afraid that Han Mo doesn't have that ability, he has always only known how to study to death, and his clever words in the court are really not his strong point.

"No, it's an opportunity." Sheng Lixin interrupted her, "And Han Mo is not as you said, he has the potential to be the prime minister, if he seizes this opportunity, he will become a great weapon in the future."

Qi Xinyue opened her mouth and finally closed it. ap.

Seeing this, Sheng Zhengye also followed the persuasion: "Since the emperor has solved the problem, let's wait and see what happens." After that, he couldn't help but tell a few words about his son, "Hanmo, this kid is too stubborn, you have to teach him well in the future."

Qi Xinyue hurriedly nodded yes.

"I'm tired, so rest early." Old Marquis Sheng waved his hand, leaned on the soft couch tiredly and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Seeing this, Sheng Zhengye left with Qi Xinyue.

Soon after Sheng Zhengye and Qi Xinyue left, Old Marquis Sheng opened his eyes.

He frowned slightly, "I've been eavesdropping outside for so long, it's time to come in, right?"

"Hey, hey."

With a burst of dry laughter, a slender and tall young man with handsome facial features walked in, wearing a green coat that made his whole person look extraordinary. He walked up to Sheng Lixin's side and said with a smile, "Master."

Old Marquis Sheng raised his eyes to look at him, frowned, and said, "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
