Grand Secretary Fang couldn't hide his anger anymore and he bellowed, "Xiao Wu's exam paper isn't here!"
What?
Emperor Wu's stomach lurched.
That wasn't possible. If Grand Secretary Fang was telling him that Feng Wu had written the exam paper down from memory, it had to be a perfect score, one that would shock the entire Junwu Empire!
A perfect score in the history of the empire!
As the emperor of the empire, he had given up so many memorials to the throne just to read one exam paper. But there was nothing here?
"What's going on?" Emperor Wu's face darkened.
Grand Secretary Fang put the pile of exam papers in front of Emperor Wu and shook his head. "I've checked everything here. There's no exam paper here."
The chief steward put a pile of exam papers in front of Emperor Wu as well and shook his head, indicating that he hadn't found anything either.
"There are a thousand exam papers here! I don't think Xiao Wu isn't even in the 1000th place! "Emperor Wu found this ridiculous!
He wouldn't believe it!
Hence, the emperor of the Junwu Empire began to read the exam papers one by one.
These papers were arranged in descending order of their scores.
The one in first place was a teenager named Ning Chenxi, with a total score of 250.
In the previous cohort, she would have been number one. However, this cohort, Emperor Wu did not think much of Feng Wu's exam paper, which only scored 250 points.
He continued reading until he came to the last one … Yu Mingye.
Yu Mingye hadn't taken the exam seriously at all. He had come here with the passing score in mind.
Emperor Wu went through the papers himself and was shocked to find that Feng Wu's exam paper wasn't there!
There could only be two possibilities. One was that Feng Wu had done a terrible job and failed the exam.
The other was that someone had sabotaged her.
Either way, Emperor Wu wouldn't be happy.
Emperor Wu wasn't the only eunuch with him.
Apart from the chief steward, there was also Master Bai.
Master Bai said unhurriedly, "Is it possible that … Miss Feng Wu's exam paper isn't that good?"
Grand Secretary Fang flared up!
He threw a dirty look at Master Bai. "Master Bai, what do you mean by that? Do you think I'm lying? "
"Please don't be mad, Grand Secretary Fang. That's not what I meant …" Master Bai smiled unhurriedly. "It's just that you're getting on in your years. Maybe you're mistaken."
"Heh, you might as well call me senile!" Grand Secretary Fang smirked.
Fortunately, before entering the palace, Feng Wu had stuffed a stack of papers into his arms and asked him to bring them into the palace. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to prove the girl's innocence.
Grand Secretary Fang's stomach lurched at that thought.
That lass had asked him to bring the examination papers in advance. Could it be that she had already guessed that this would happen?
What did you guess?
Was it when he told her that Vice President Lu was in seclusion and Vice President Zuo was acting on his behalf?
Just how smart was this lass? She actually planned ahead?
Meanwhile, Emperor Wu was staring at Grand Secretary Fang with a suspicious look in his eyes.
Master Bai went on to add fuel to the fire. "Grand Secretary Fang, Miss Feng Wu shouldn't have been able to answer that perfectly. You weren't dreaming, were you?"
Emperor Wu stared at Grand Secretary Fang suspiciously.
For Emperor Wu trusted Master Bai very much.
And Master Bai was the main reason why Grand Secretary Fang had retired and returned to his hometown.
