“Of course not!” Luo Cheng said firmly.
After talking about this matter, Luo Cheng pondered over it.
He wondered if Pei Xuanxin had recognized him at the restaurant that day.
Forget it. Even if he recognized him, it was fine. He would let Pei Xuanxin realize the difference in status between him and Li Xiaoran so that he would stop thinking about his wife.
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng felt that he should probably ask someone to investigate what had happened to Pei Xuanxin in the capital.
Luo Cheng immediately made the arrangements.
Not only did they have to investigate what had happened to Pei Xuanxin in the capital, but they also had to send people to keep an eye on Pei Xuanxin and Li
Yan.
Their surveillance revealed some alarming things.
Luo Cheng realized that not only had Li Yan been asking about their whereabouts recently, but she also went to the Seventh Prince’s residence every day.
Needless to say, Luo Cheng knew what Li Yan was up to.
Did she think that he liked her, so she had a chance to climb up the social ladder?
What a joke!
At this moment, Luo Cheng was really glad that he had chosen Li Xiaoran back then.
Otherwise, he would have regretted living with such a woman!
Therefore, Luo Cheng immediately ordered that Li Yan wasn’t allowed to approach them.
Li Yan, who was still thinking about finding the Seventh Prince, was prevented from seeing Luo Cheng.
She tried her luck every day, but she always returned disappointed.
At the same time, with Luo Cheng’s secret help, Leng Yu dealt with the cheating scandal very swiftly.
With Weng Yuxin’s revelation and Lu Xiangyang’s confession, all the officials who had participated in the cheating scandal were caught.
The emperor captured these officials and interrogated them one by one.
The second prince, Ling Kun, was very anxious.
“Second Prince, we can’t let Leng Yu continue investigating. If this continues, I’m afraid you’ll be implicated! The emperor is already a little dissatisfied with you. If he knows that you were involved in the cheating scandal this time, something bad will happen!” The second prince’s aide said.
‘l’ne second prmce was also extremely anxious. wnen ne neara tne aide’s words, he was immediately furious.
“Do you think I don’t know? Come up with a practical solution to stop all of this! As the saying goes, soldiers are trained for years to fight for a crucial moment. It’s time for you guys to repay me! But look at all of you. At this critical moment, you guys can’t think of a single solution!”
When the other aides heard the second prince’s words, they immediately felt very aggrieved!
The emperor was so fast that they couldn’t react in time at all!
“Why don’t we oust Leng Yu and replace him with our own people?” An advisor thought of a solution. “As long as the person who is investigating isn’t Leng Yu, things won’t be that bad. At least, we can take a breather and think of other ways!”
The second prince was desperate and felt that this was a good idea, so he arranged for someone to scheme against Leng Yu.
Luo Cheng had arranged for people to pay attention to the second prince’s movements.
He had guessed that someone would attack Leng Yu, so he had secretly entered the palace to remind his father already.
Therefore, the assassin sent by the second prince was caught by the emperor’s Dark Dragon Guards as soon as he appeared.
Fortunately, the Second Prince’s men were cautious and found killers from the martial world. Therefore, even if these people were caught, they wouldn’t expose the Second Prince.
After that, the second prince sent someone to arrange for Leng Yu to be poisoned. Unfortunately, Leng Yu knew that he had already become a thorn in the side of others, so he was very careful not to touch food given by anyone other than his trusted aides.
Leng Yu was still alive and well, but the second prince was already so anxious that his mouth was covered in sores.
In the end, the Second Prince could only watch as one of his trusted aides took all the responsibility. Only then did the Second Prince escape accountability.
Even so, the Second Prince’s heart ached!
After all, it wasn’t easy for him to place such a capable helper in the imperial court.
Now that one of them was arrested, it was equivalent to him losing an arm.
When Luo Cheng saw that the second prince had lost a powerful helper, he felt much better.
Not only the second prince, but the other princes in the government had more or less suffered some damage as well.
Fortunately, the Third Prince wasn’t harmed from the beginning to the end. After all, with the Third Prince’s straightforward personality, he indeed wouldn’t do such things.
Other than these princes, several important ministers had been captured and many good positions had been vacated.
Various factions began to compete for these empty positions.
Under such circumstances, the government became unstable once again.
As many officials in the government fell from grace, Leng Yu started investigating the people who had bought examination questions.
This time, the students who were indifferent at first began to become nervous.
After that, the students who bought the questions were exposed. The other students scolded the people who bought the questions.
Under such circumstances, Qi Fei and Ai Mingze began to feel uneasy.
It was unknown if they were lucky or if they had done a good job, but they weren’t discovered.
In the end, after more than twenty days of investigation, the cheating investigation case finally came to an end.
At this moment, Qi Fei and Ai Mingze heaved a sigh of relief.
Li Yan, Qi Fei and Ai Mingze were relieved.
Although Li Yan had burned Pei Xuanxin’s test papers, Qi Fei and Ai Mingze knew!
If anything happened to these two people, they would definitely expose her and Pei Xuanxin.
At that time, she would have nothing left.
Not only would she be imprisoned, but even Pei Xuanxin would be removed from his position.
Fortunately, she was lucky enough not to get exposed!
Qi Fei and Ai Mingze were fine, so she was safe as well.
After the cheating scandal case was closed, the vacant positions on the Ranking List of Scholars would be filled by the people ranked behind.
This way, according to the emperor’s previous request, anyone who entered the Ranking List of Scholars could participate in the palace examination.
This time, the emperor didn’t give everyone any buffer time. He informed everyone about the palace examination on the day the cheating scandal case was closed. The next day, the palace examination was held in the open space outside the royal family.
It had to be said that this was the best time to test a person’s mental fortitude.
Some students with weak mental fortitude and who couldn’t withstand the pressure had good results during the general examination, but they didn’t perform well during the palace examination.
Some were the opposite. They didn’t perform well during the general examination, but because they could handle pressure well, they achieved good results during the palace examination..
