Grand Secretary Fang couldnât hold back his anger. âXiao Wuâs paper isnât here!â
What?
Emperor Wu was shocked.
That was impossible. If Grand Secretary Fang was telling the truth and Feng Wu really had written down those answers from memory, she could get nothing but full marks, which would shock the entire empire!
The first candidate with full marks in history!
The emperor himself had put all the memorials aside just to read her paper, but it wasnât here?
âHow is that possible?â Emperor Wuâs face darkened.
Grand Secretary Fang put the stack he checked in front of Emperor Wu and shook his head. âIâve checked every page. Hers isnât here.â
The chief steward also shook his head when he put down his stack.
âThere are a thousand sets here! Xiao Wu couldnât have gotten such a low score!â Emperor Wu found it ridiculous.
He wouldnât believe it!
Hence, the emperor himself began to read each page in turn.
The exam papers were put together from the highest mark to the lowest.
The one on the very top belonged to a teenager named Ning Chenxi, who scored 250.
Such a score would have made him first in the previous year. However, after reading Feng Wuâs answers, Emperor Wu found Ning Chenxiâs answers nothing special at all.
Emperor Wu read each one in turn until he reached the last one, which belonged to Yu Mingye.
Yu Mingye hadnât taken the exam seriously. He only scored enough to pass.
After searching through everything himself, Emperor Wu realized in astonishment that Feng Wu really wasnât included!
There were only two possibilities. One was that Feng Wu did really badly and failed the exam.
The other possibility was that someone had tried something behind his back.
Emperor Wu wasnât happy with either option.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
More than one senior eunuch served Emperor Wu.
Aside from the chief steward, there was also a Master Bai.
And he said in an unhurried tone, âIs it possible that Miss Feng Wu didnât do a great job?â
Grand Secretary Fang flared up!
He cast a stern look at Master Bai. âMaster Bai, what are you trying to say? Are you accusing me of lying?â
âGrand Secretary Fang, please donât be mad. I didnât mean that...â Master Bai smiled and remained unperturbed. âItâs just that at your age, maybe you donât remember things as clearly as you did before.â
âHeh, you might as well call me a dotard!â Grand Secretary Fang smirked.
Luckily, Feng Wu had stuffed some papers in his pocket before he left for the imperial palace, or he would have had no proof now.
Grand Secretary Fangâs stomach lurched when he remembered that.
Had the girl given him her previous exam papers because she had anticipated this?
But how?
Was it because he had told her that Mr Lu had gone into seclusion and Mr Zuo was the acting principal at the moment?
Exactly how clear-minded was this girl, to be able to have such forethought?
Meanwhile, Emperor Wu was staring at Grand Secretary Fang and he was getting suspicious.
Master Bai tried to aggravate that suspicion. âGrand Secretary Fang, itâs only common sense that Miss Feng Wu canât be that perfect. Did you dream everything up?â
Emperor Wu found Grand Secretary Fang even more dubious.
For he trusted Master Bai a lot.
And Grand Secretary Fangâs retirement actually had a lot to do with Master Bai.
Therefore â
