Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

The emperor looked through the testimony. After reading it, he was almost furious. He said in a cold voice, "Imperial Guards, listen to my order. Search the Jiang Mansion immediately to find out the dirty silver and arrest Jiang Huai. I want to try him personally."

The testimony also mentioned that Jiang Huai had peeked at the exam questions directly from the emperor's study. Because Wang Qing was not sure whether the questions were true or false, Jiang Huai said that he had seen them with his own eyes from the emperor. Wang Qing was reassured and memorized the essay outside the palace, then wrote it out directly when he entered the examination room, so he was not caught cheating.

The testimony of Wang Qing during the interrogation of Master Pan was confidential and of great importance, and no one would know this in advance. Jiang Fenghua relied on logic to analyze Master Pan's testimony.

The emperor thought to himself: During that period, I did often summon Jiang Huai to the palace to chat, play chess, and even discuss academic matters. If Jiang Huai did not steal, it means that someone else did see the test questions in my imperial study, and Jiang Fenghua actually guessed the general content of the testimony.

This woman is not simple! She is thoughtful, logical, and well-analyzed.

Jiang Fenghua was not afraid that the emperor and Xie Shang would know how smart she was. She had never played herself as a naive person from the beginning.

No matter whether it was Jiang Huai or someone else who stole the test questions, there were other people's spies and informants in the palace, and he had been living under other people's surveillance. If he found out who this person was, he would tear him to pieces.

"Father, the matter has not been investigated clearly yet. There is no need for the Imperial Guards to step in. It will not be too late to ask Master Jiang to find out whether it is him or not and then make a decision." said the prince.

"Do I have to give him more time to destroy the stolen money?" The emperor was furious. "I know that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are deeply in love. The Jiang family is the Crown Princess's family. The Crown Prince just needs to remember that this matter has nothing to do with the Crown Princess." What he meant was that he should not speak for the Jiang family. Jiang Fenghua was no longer a member of the Jiang family after she married out of the Jiang family.

"That's not what I meant. Tutor Jiang should have entered the palace to give lectures at this time. I will go and invite him in person." Xie Shang said.

The emperor glanced at him coldly, "Cao De, go to Taihua Palace and bring the person here. Shang Hong will take people to Jiang Mansion to search for evidence."

In everyone's opinion, the Crown Princess's pillow talk was too powerful. Even with witnesses and evidence, the Crown Prince was still speaking for the Jiang family.

If it is confirmed that Master Jiang is indeed the one who leaked the test questions, it would also prove that Jiang Jinyan's second place was not real. He would then lose his official position and the Jiang family's good days would be over.

It's time for the Crown Prince to take in concubines. Everyone has had this idea for a long time, but the Crown Princess seems to be ignorant and doesn't care about taking concubines for the Crown Prince. She just wants to be favored by the Crown Prince alone.

At this time, everyone was looking forward to the fall of the Crown Princess so that a new person could take her place. It was not easy for Jiang Fenghua to protect his Crown Princess.

Everyone is considering their own interests. When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down, and then they become the ones who cut the wall. Everyone wants to get a piece of the pie.

The Emperor and Xie Shang have to work together to eliminate the gang members and play this drama well. Only Jiang Huai doesn't know the truth.

Soon, Tutor Jiang was taken outside the Golden Palace. He didn't know what was going on, and Cao De didn't dare to say what the emperor wanted to see him about. He was only responsible for bringing the person there.

Just now when Chief Steward Cao arrived at Taihua Palace, he had just arrived outside the palace. Before he could put down the book in his hand, Chief Steward Cao said, "The emperor wants to ask Master Jiang to come over."

He replied, "Let me put the book down first."

Cao, the chief steward, urged him: "No need to release him, Master Jiang, please leave quickly."

Even Cao De kindly reminded him, "The emperor is angry, Lord Jiang, please walk faster and hold the book with you. If you go too late, the emperor will be angry."

Then Jiang Huai politely replied, "Manager Cao, please."

Cao De was speechless for a moment. He didn't even ask why the emperor was angry and how he gave birth to such smart children, the Crown Princess and Marquis Wu'an.

I only heard Cao, the chief steward, report in a shrill voice outside the palace, "Your Majesty, Master Jiang has been brought here."

"Let him in." the emperor shouted angrily.

At this time, Jiang Huai was seen walking slowly towards them in his official uniform, still holding a pile of books in his hands. He knelt down respectfully to the emperor on the high throne, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Thinking that the emperor was angry, he hunched his body and dared not look up. The emperor saw his timid look and wondered, would he dare to steal the test questions from the imperial study and sell them for embezzlement and bribery?

Seeing that the emperor was reluctant to let him get up, Jiang Huai just knelt respectfully.

"Jiang Huai, do you know why I summoned you here?" The emperor spoke first.

"Your Majesty, I don't know." Jiang Huai said honestly.

The emperor took the file and threw it at Jiang Huai, "Look, this is the testimony of Wang Qing, the good student you taught."

Jiang Huai was confused, "I don't know Wang Qing, and he is not my student."

"You still dare to quibble? Take a look at the testimony first and then think about how to quibble. You are quite capable of stealing test questions and selling them."

Jiang Huai finally finished reading the whole thing. He knelt on the ground, trembling, and the books in his hands fell to the ground. "I don't know Wang Qing, and I didn't steal the test questions from the palace to give them to him. I am innocent."

"Whether it's unjust or not is not up to you to decide with just your mouth. There are witnesses and evidence. You can't save your head even if you deny it."

Jiang Huai is timid, but also a tough guy. "Even if the emperor kills me for something I haven't done, I won't admit it."

At this time, Jiang Jinyan also knelt beside Jiang Huai, "My father just wanted to teach well. He would never steal the test questions and sell them. Please investigate clearly, Your Majesty."

"Jiang Jinyan, I haven't tried you yet. Do you think you can escape? Your father can sell the test questions to his students and give you his biological son. Did you get second place in this imperial examination? Is there any water in it? Wait until I find out clearly about your father and then I will decide whether you are guilty or not." said the emperor.

"Yes, I did rank second, but I passed the exam based on my own ability." Jiang Jinyan said, "Your Majesty, please check it out."

"Master Pan, please show me the list of candidates who passed this year's exam."

Master Pan was well prepared and quickly submitted a memorial, "These students are all excellent. In fact, many students studying in the Imperial College are on the list. The first place student Xiao Yu is Master Pan's student, and many other students on the list are also."

In fact, Master Pan did not believe that Jiang Huai would do such a thing. After all, he had been teaching in the Imperial College for more than 20 years, and his ability was unquestionable. However, when he checked the students on the list, he found that most of them were Jiang Huai's students, and they all did well in the exam.

Either it proves that Jiang Huai is a good teacher, or that he helped them cheat, and the interests involved are huge.

"It seems that I have chosen the right person to be the prince's teacher. All the students you teach are very promising. Is this a coincidence, or do you, Jiang Huai, have evil intentions?" The emperor was furious: "You knew the test questions in advance!"

Jiang Huai was so scared that he fell to the ground. "I have no ambitions. This is the result of everyone's hard work. I have studied hard for ten years just to pass the exam and serve the court. Your Majesty, please don't vent your anger on them. It's not easy to pass the exam. If there is any fault, I am willing to take it. I definitely didn't know the test questions in advance. I beg Your Majesty to treat them fairly and cherish the pillars of the country."
