Seeing that the Ji sisters were very puzzled, Zhan Xiao explained,
"I heard that Chen Dongying and Chen Dongfu are twins, and they have a telepathic connection. Because Chen Dongying was locked in the examination room alone for seven days and seven nights during the imperial examination, and then he thought day by day, dreamed at night, and thought over and over in his sleep. How to write an essay for the exam, Chen Dongfu also received this information in his sleep on the same day."

Xu Ji said that Chen Dongfu had a reputation for "talent" in the local area and was appreciated by his wife.

But Chen Dongfu couldn't take the imperial examination after his disfigurement. He felt itchy after the test questions, so he was eager to try, and he also took up a pen to write articles for the test to entertain himself.

Ji Yun thought, whether it was really "itchy" or intentional, only God knows.

Zhan Xiao said again,

"Chen Dongfu is also cautious and careful about the article. He deliberates day and night, and may also deliberate over and over again in his sleep. His thoughts and some paragraphs and sentences were captured by Chen Dongying unintentionally. Then Chen Dongying used these words and sentences in the article, It made the article shine and was appreciated by the examiners, so it was awarded a Jinshi in high school."

Ji Jun smiled noncommittally, and let the Chen brothers go, probably more because he liked their "telepathy" ability.

I just don't know if the sage wants to let go, or if someone needs the Chen brothers.

Ji Min said,

"Didn't it say that the one who passed the test paper was a cat?"

Zhan Xiao smiled and said,

"Earlier, there was a sudden rumor in the capital that Chen Dongfu bribed the officials in the examination room and hid the test questions in the belly of the cat, and then the cat ran out of the test room and delivered the test questions to Chen Dongfu.

But during interrogation.It was discovered that Chen Dongfu knew nothing about cats.Moreover, the two brothers also personally demonstrated the ability of the two to perceive each other's thoughts in Dali Temple. Therefore, the two were acquitted. "

Ji Min thought of the cats he met in the cemetery when he was looking for the killer, and the cats he saw at Chen Guogong's house.

Is it a coincidence that there are rumors about cats in the imperial examination fraud case?Or is it deliberately directing the disaster to Chen Zhuoxin?
Zhan Xiao said again,

"After investigation, Prince Huan and the others found that a few days before the start of the exam, there were many rats around the exam room. In order not to affect the health and state of the candidates, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry dispatched together, and then destroyed many rat holes first. At the same time, a lot of medicinal powder was sprinkled on the examination room. According to the appraisal of the Dali Temple official, the dosage of these medicinal powders is harmless to humans, but if the cat is to be infected, it will be difficult to survive if the amount is large, and even if it is alive, it will behave slowly , staggering, dizzy. According to the person who made the medicine, some cats are like drunk because they ate the mice that took the medicine. They often bump into stones while walking by themselves, knocking themselves out!"

Ji Min looked intently and nodded,
"Generally, during the Qiuwei exam, the [-] meters around the exam room will be under martial law, so if a poisoned cat has to walk at least [-] meters to pass the test questions. From this point of view, a normal-sized cat should not have the physical strength to complete this task. The task, even if the physical strength is not bad, is it possible that there are no obstacles along the way? It can be seen that it is not a cat who passed it to Chen Dongfu. Naturally, it cannot be defined as cheating."

Ji Yun thought for a while and asked,

"Are there any clues about the little official who passed the test questions?"

Zhan Xiao said,
"There are four petty officials who may have access to the test questions in the examination room this time. They are the personal attendants of several chief examiners and are responsible for taking care of the examiners' daily life. So far, no act of favoritism between the examiner and the petty officials has been found. The rest of the petty officials Just some simple cleaning around the test room, far away from the candidates' rooms. The possibility is not too great."

Ji Jun looked at Ji Min, then said to Zhan Xiao,
"Thanks a lot!"

It seems that someone is deliberately linking the imperial examination cheating case with Chen Zhuoxin. I don't know what the intention is?

In Fuyuan Palace, the ground was in a mess, there were broken pieces of teacups, and fresh melons and fruits rolled to the ground.

The palace people were all driven away by Nanny Hu, and Eunuch Hong was trembling at the gate of the palace.

In the hall, apart from Chen Zhuoxin, only Aunt Hu Lu stood beside Concubine Jiao Xian.

One side of Eunuch Hong's cheek was already swollen, he walked up and down from time to time, worried that Concubine Jiao Xian would suffer.

But just now, Chen Zhuoxin slapped Eunuch Hong's ears "buzzing". For a moment, he couldn't hear the sound in his ear!

After beating him, Chen Zhuoxin told Eunuch Hong to "scroll" again!And Concubine Jiao Xian didn't say anything, so Eunuch Hong could only go out aggrieved, and really didn't dare to go in without Concubine Jiao Xian's order.

Concubine Jiao Xian and Chen Zhuoxin glared at each other, it seemed like winter was counting down in the hall, and Nanny Hu was trembling!
Concubine Jiao Xian said coldly,
"Chen Guogong is so angry! The person who beat me up, are you here to ask Bengong Xingshi for a crime? Do you know who is superior or inferior?"

Chen Guogong and Chen Zhuoxin snorted coldly,
"Fuck you! Don't think that you look like a dog here today, you think you can look down on the world! You are not the queen mother, nor the queen! Among the four concubines, you are also the last one! Concubine Qin Whether it’s Shangguan Shufei or Concubine Shangguan, anyone, as long as the Duke of the country wants to support him, he can crush you in an instant!”

Concubine Jiao Xian was trembling with anger at Chen Zhuoxin's words, she shouted angrily,
"Chen Zhuoxin! Don't go too far! You think beautifully! Concubine Qin Gui has Duke Qin, can you support her? Concubine Shangguan Shu has no son, so you should help me! After leaving this palace, do you think you can have a son?" today?"

Chen Zhuoxin said contemptuously,
"You can raise the fifth prince, so can Concubine Shu! As long as the emperor is willing, it is not impossible for Concubine Shu to raise the thirteenth prince!"

The conversation between the two became more and more intense, almost tearing their faces apart, Hu Nanny was anxious to interrupt, and dared not intervene.

Concubine Jiao Xian and Chen Zhuoxin have worked together for more than ten years, even though there were disputes and quarrels between the two before, there has never been such a loud scolding situation.

Of course, it used to be when Concubine Jiao Xian was a low-ranking little concubine.Nor did he dare to argue with Chen Guogong.

Moreover, the two of them did not have any conflict of interest at that time, and when they encountered things, they discussed and exchanged ideas, and there was nothing to dispute.

But now, Concubine Jiao Xian is already a high-ranking concubine, who dares to be disrespectful inside or outside the palace?

Chen Guogong was only a courtier at best, and it was really abominable to yell at him so mercilessly!

Concubine Jiao Xian patted the table, and the newly placed teacups jingled!The voice is shrill and piercing,
"Chen Zhuoxin! For so many years, I have helped you a lot in the palace! Without me, do you think you can be the minister of the Ministry of War? If you don't have me, do you think the king of Rong'an can have a conflict with the crown prince? If the two of them don't conflict, do you think you can successfully become Chen Guogong?"

At the beginning, both the King of Rong'an and the crown prince opposed Chen Zhuoxin's becoming the crown prince.

Just at this time, the servants brought by the elder brother of Rong'an County King's favorite concubine accidentally killed the father of a minnv, and the minnv committed suicide in grief and indignation.

Later, the "brother-in-law" of King Rong'an died on the bed of a prostitute.

The prince is in charge of hearing the case.

Seeing that Chen Zhuoxin was silent, Concubine Jiao Xian said in a slightly lower voice,

"Chen Zhuoxin! You were a concubine back then, and you couldn't even command Chen Guogong's servants, and no one dared to work for you! In order to separate Rong'an County King and Crown Prince, I used forces outside the palace to make my uncle I personally went out to help you take care of Rong An County King’s brother-in-law, and put the blame on the crown prince! Now that you are ungrateful and have turned against me, your conscience has been eaten by dogs?"

Chen Zhuoxin's eyebrows twitched when he heard the words, and his eyes turned cold:

"Your Majesty, talk to Wei Chen about your conscience? Good! Wei Chen will talk to you about your conscience! Back then, when Your Majesty was still a beautiful woman, she made an oath with Wei Chen to support each other. I am grateful for your empress's trust, and I am willing to go through fire and water for my empress from now on! At that time, Weichen had just become the eldest son, and his status was unstable, but my empress wanted my minister to frame Chen Meiren and Mrs. Li Guogong, and I did! Later, Chen Meiren died, and my empress was punished. Involvement, the empress is here to blame the minister again, how innocent is the minister!"

Mother Hu was so frightened that her old face turned pale!The double tresses trembled so much that I couldn't stand still!
How can such a big event be said!
But Concubine Jiao Xian never backed down,
"My plan back then is still useful today. But you are so ruthless that you almost hurt me, and I can't say it? It turns out that the mutual support that you agreed to do is the will of the Duke!"

Chen Zhuoxin glared at him,

"What do you mean, ma'am? Are you saying that the humble official killed Chen Meiren?"

"What if not?"

Chen Zhuoxin was furious, and his voice was raised a tune,
"Your Majesty, do you want to deny your account and plant it? Your Majesty has not been pregnant for a long time after entering the palace, so she went to her mother to keep her child. This minister just made Chen Meiren suffer from a disease similar to "consumption". In this way, Chen Meiren must Leaving the palace. As Chen Meiren raised the fifth prince, the fifth prince will inevitably contract the disease and will be disgusted by everyone. In this way, the empress proposes to raise the fifth prince, which not only relieves the urgent need, but also wins a good name. Why must Chen Meiren be killed? !"

Although Chen Zhuoxin was very angry, he still had reason.

At that time, he still had a thought in his heart, that keeping Meiren Chen was actually a restraint on Concubine Jiaoxian.

Thinking that if Concubine Jiao Xian turned against him one day, then Chen Zhuoxin would support Chen Meiren.After all, Chen Meiren and the fifth prince are biological mother and son, and they are always close to each other.

Now that things have come to this, what's the point?Besides, he couldn't let Concubine Jiao Xian know what he had in mind back then.

Concubine Jiao Xian sneered a few times,
"Isn't it the Duke of the country who wants to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots? To avoid future troubles?"

This was what Chen Zhuoxin said to himself back then, but now, he actually said that he didn't want Chen Meiren's life!
Pooh!What about cheating ghosts?
Chen Zhuoxin felt great hatred!
It was also his negligence. After Chen Meiren lingered on the sick bed, he thought that everything would follow the agreed steps in a logical manner.

Unexpectedly, this vicious woman took a fancy to the fifth prince's resemblance to Li Jie, and wanted to dominate the fifth prince alone forever!
