TICIEC Chapter 65.1

Wei Yingya was very anxious and wanted to help Ning Wanyin cheat.

She could still recite a few lines of poetry about lotus flowers…

But she was quite far from Ning Wanyin.

Just as she was thinking about how to cheat remotely, Ning Wanyin had already picked up her brush and started writing, completing the work in one go.

Wei Meiren was stunned: “Ning Jieyu, this is a masterpiece. Think carefully before you write it…”

She never expected that Ning Wanyin would dare to scribble on and ruin this famous painting!

She felt a pang of heartache!

“Wasn’t it Wei Meiren who asked me to write this? Although my work is crude, it is sincere. I’m sure Wei Meiren won’t mind, right?” Ning Wanyin asked back.

For a moment, Wei Meiren didn’t know how to refute.

Shu Fei took over, deliberately praising, “A fine painting deserves a fine poem. Ning Jieyu certainly won’t write anything carelessly and ruin this precious painting, so Wei Meiren can rest assured.”

Wang Degui presented the scroll to Helian Qi.

Helian Qi’s expressionless face brightened upon seeing Ning Wanyin’s poem.

“Ning Jieyu’s poem is excellent. Guards, bestow a generous reward upon her!”

If Ning Wanyin loses face, his reputation will also be ruined.

Ning Wanyin, who was keeping her true abilities hidden, solved this problem perfectly.

Wei Meiren’s expression changed instantly: “Impossible!”

She clearly couldn’t write poetry.

“Since Your Majesty likes it so much, it must be a fine poem. I would also like to read it.” Xue Meiren’s eyes were full of doubt.

Helian Qi handed the scroll directly to Wang Degui, saying, “Circulate it among the concubines.”

The concubines finally saw Ning Wanyin’s poem.

Although not as stunning as Ying Meiren’s works, it was still on par with Song Qingzhi’s.

It was definitely a masterpiece.

After seeing the poem, Wei Meiren was even more incredulous.

If Ning Wanyin was of this caliber, why did she run away from the last poetry gathering?

This must have been written by someone else. She cheated!

However, there was no evidence to support the claim that Ning Wanyin cheated.

Wei Meiren could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger.

Cen Jieyu remained calm and didn’t interrupt from the beginning.

She didn’t care about Wei Meiren’s trivial tricks at all.

Even if this succeeded, it would only embarrass Ning Wanyin and step on her.

To deal with a troublesome enemy like Ning Wanyin, one kick isn’t enough. We have to kick her into hell, leaving her no chance to recover.

The real show is yet to begin.

After the controversy surrounding the poem, the concubines successively sent some congratulatory gifts.

The banquet resumed its lively atmosphere with singing and dancing.

Just then, an official stepped forward and said, “Your humble servant, Li Rao, a censor of the Censorate, has a memorial to present. I hereby accuse Ning Jieyu of having an affair with an official, a crime deserving of execution!”

These words shocked everyone present once again.

The Emperor’s face, which had just recovered, instantly turned ashen.

“What did you say?”

“Your Majesty, please allow me to report. During the summer hunt, I witnessed Ning Jieyu and Song Chengyi, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, having a secret rendezvous!” Li Rao said in a deep voice.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Ning Wanyin and Song Chengyi.

Before Ning Wanyin could speak, Helian Qi had already lost his temper and became impatient.

“Since you claim to have caught them meeting in secret, why didn’t you report it to me back then? Two months have passed now, and for these two months, you have known about it but failed to report it, concealing and protecting them. You should be punished as if guilty of the same crime!”

Everyone was stunned.

Isn’t the Emperor being far too biased?

When someone reported Ning Wanyin, he actually said, “Why didn’t you say that earlier? You share the same crime.”

Isn’t this forcing Li Rao to change his statement?

“Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I… I only saw Ning Jieyu talking to Lord Song, and I did not see either of them behave rudely. Perhaps it was just a coincidence. I dare not speak presumptuously…”

Li Rao quickly corrected himself and continued: “I found this matter suspicious and investigated it privately. Now I have evidence of their past relationship, which is why I dare to report to Your Majesty. I have witnesses and physical evidence, and I request Your Majesty to summon them!”
