Martial Champion (Second Update)
"Nian Ruxue"'s martial arts road was declared to be completely over amidst exclamations and sighs.
The Gao family rushed to the martial arts arena and took Gao Jiabao down.
The old doctor Gao asked his grandson to give up the top three qualifying matches. It was good enough to get a third place. Health was more important. He must not fight again before his injuries were completely healed.
"I can't leave." Gao Jiabao's face was pale.
Even if he was not qualified to compete in the next competition, even if he gave up, he had to sit in the spectator's seat until the finals were over.
At this time, Duanmu Che was pleading with Gao Jiabao, "Father, Mr. Gao was seriously injured. If he gave up the next competition, could he go back to heal his injuries first?"
Duanmu Yi nodded, "If he is willing to give up, he will be the third place in martial arts."
Gao Jiabao had nothing to be unwilling about. Zhao Yang and the person who challenged him were both from martial arts families and were very strong. Even if he was not injured, he would not be sure.
As for Su Liang, Gao Jiabao sincerely hoped that the top place would be hers.
Although they had no private contact and only fought on the arena, he admired Su Liang very much.
So, Gao Jiabao, who was sure to enter the top three, chose to give up the subsequent qualifying rounds and automatically became the third place in this year's martial arts examination.
"Nian Ruxue" was still awake, and Duanmu Ao didn't even look at her, as if he had nothing to do with this embarrassing woman.
Nian Jinxing wanted Nian Jincheng to take "Nian Ruxue" home, but Nian Jincheng said he had to go to the toilet and didn't come back for a long time.
This caused Nian Jinxing, who wanted to turn around and leave, to bite the bullet and help "Nian Ruxue" back in public, asking to take her home for treatment.
Duanmu Che said, "Stay" "Nian Ruxue", "Father, Miss Nian Fourth's face looks very bad, why not let Miss Su take a look at her first."
It was no secret that Su Liang was treating Duanmu Che.
Nian Jinxing's face froze, and he had an extremely bad premonition in his heart. Duanmu Che has always been indifferent to everything, why did he stop "Nian Ruxue" from leaving? He was definitely not concerned about "Nian Ruxue's" health!
Could it be that this is really a fake, and someone in the royal family has already known about it? ! Thinking of this, Nian Jinxing's hands trembled, and he clenched "Nian Ruxue's" arm, and said respectfully, "I dare not trouble Miss Su, please allow me to take my fourth sister home."
Duanmu Yi's eyes fell on the mask of "Nian Ruxue", his face was majestic without anger, "Where is Su Liang? Go and see where Miss Nian is injured."
Nian Jinxing's heart sank! At this moment, he clearly realized that something would happen next, something big!
This is most likely a substitute found by Nian Ruxue. If someone finds out, the Nian family will be finished!
And Su Liang received the emperor's order, and he had already carried his medicine box to the bottom of the viewing platform, smiling, "Mr. Nian, I will take care of your sister."
Nian Jinxing inexplicably felt that Su Liang's smile revealed a strange and unclear meaning.
But he had no room to refuse, so he had to hand "Nian Ruxue" to Su Liang.
"Nian Ruxue"'s face turned blue, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, and her right leg couldn't stand at all, it was twisted and hung to one side.
The second challenge match had already started, but many people's eyes were still on Su Liang and "Nian Ruxue".
Su Liang gently touched "Nian Ruxue"'s knee, she screamed and almost fainted.
Su Liang stood up, and before "Nian Ruxue" and Nian Jinxing could react, he took off the mask on "Nian Ruxue"'s face very naturally and quickly.
Nian Jinxing almost couldn't hide his panic, and when he saw that face, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing..." "Nian Ruxue" stared at Su Liang and reached out to push her, "I don't want you to treat me!"
Su Liang took two steps back and explained calmly, "I have a special painkiller that I want to give to Miss Nian Si first, so I have to take off the mask. The competition is over, why is Miss Nian Si nervous?"
Mu Ya has been staring at this side, and asked questions after hearing the words, "Miss Su means well, why does Miss Nian look scared? Didn't she say that wearing a mask is to prevent the men in the competition from falling in love with her? Could it be that Miss Su, a woman, would also fall in love with her? I think Miss Su is much more beautiful than Miss Nian!"
As soon as these words came out, more people looked at "Nian Ruxue".
"I don't know why Miss Nian Si refused to let me treat her, but this is the emperor's intention. Please cooperate with Miss Nian Si. I have no ill intentions." Su Liang finished speaking, leaned over to open the medicine box, took out a bottle of liquid from it, and poured it on his hands.
"This is for cleaning hands." Su Liang explained.
Lin Xi, who was not far away, had his eyes brightened and whispered, "Xiao Cheche, that must be the potion made by Su Xiaoliang to clean the disguise! The fun is about to begin!"
Su Liang applied the liquid in the bottle on his hands, took out another medicine bottle, poured out a pill from it, approached Nian Ruxue, and said gently, "Don't be nervous, Fourth Miss Nian, take this pill, you will feel much better."
"Nian Ruxue" refused to open her mouth as Su Liang expected.
Su Liang kept smiling, "The emperor is watching."
"Nian Ruxue" finally opened her mouth, but not big enough.
Su Liang naturally took action, slightly lifted "Nian Ruxue"'s chin, put his fingers on the edge of her mouth, asked her to open her mouth, put the medicine in, then let go and took the water bag.
The next moment, Lin Qi exclaimed, "What happened to her face?"
The people on the viewing platform looked down from above and clearly saw that there were clear marks on the places on "Nian Ruxue's" face where Su Liang had touched her, but it was not like there was something extra, but it was as if something was suddenly missing from those places on her face!
Mu Ya blurted out, "Disguise! That must be a disguise potion! She's fake!"
The whole audience was in an uproar!
Su Liang held the water bag with an innocent look on his face, "Before I treat people, I always clean my hands with a specially prepared potion."
The thing that Nian Jinxing was most worried about still happened, but he suddenly had an idea in his mind, and suddenly grabbed "Nian Ruxue" by the shoulder, and asked sternly, "You are not my fourth sister! Who are you? What did you do to my fourth sister?"
Su Liang: ... This eldest son of the Nian family is a little clever. If he makes this person a spy, pretending to be Nian Ruxue, and catches or kills Nian Ruxue, he can still save the Nian family!
But Mu Ya, who likes to watch the fun, spoke again, "Emperor Gan, if you have real ability, you can participate in the martial arts examination yourself. Who would be idle and take the imperial examination for others? Why didn't I encounter such a good thing? I think it's probably that the real Miss Nian is incompetent and hired a substitute!"
Mu Ya is not a simple person either. He saw through the truth at a glance.
Although Nian Jinxing was quick-witted, he could not fool those who had truly experienced power struggles.
"General Mu, don't slander people without evidence! Your Majesty, this woman must have harmed my fourth sister! She wanted to pretend to be my fourth sister! She is a spy sent by someone unknown!" Nian Jinxing said in a deep voice, "Even if my Nian family had the courage of a bear and a leopard, we would not dare to do such a thing to deceive the emperor!"
Duanmu Yi's face was gloomy, "Come here, catch him. Su Liang, clean up 'Nian Ruxue'! The imperial examination of the country cannot tolerate any fraud!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Liang responded respectfully.
"Nian Ruxue" looked ashen, and was controlled by two people, unable to move. In front of everyone, Su Liang removed the disguise on her face and revealed her true face.
Many people have forgotten that there is a fifth lady in the Nian family, but Qin Yujin recognized Nian Ruting and looked surprised.
When Nian Jinxing saw Nian Ruting's face, he was like being struck by lightning. He stared at her and couldn't speak!
If it was a stranger, he could still argue that it was a spy, but this fake Nian Ruxue was actually his biological sister!
Soon, everyone knew that this was Nian Ruting, the fifth daughter of the Nian family who was sent to the country farm to recuperate.
The challenge on the martial arts arena has not yet ended, but no one cares.
The actions of the sisters Nian Ruxue and Nian Ruting are simply unbelievable.
"Emperor Gan, it seems that she has been wearing a mask because she is afraid that her true identity will be discovered. After all, even if there is a disguise, her demeanor and behavior will reveal flaws, and it is safer to cover up some." Mu Ya sneered, "This fifth daughter of the Nian family is also qualified to participate in the martial arts examination, but she insisted on fighting on behalf of her sister. What a deep sisterly love!"
Duanmu Yi did not intend to cover up the big thing. When Nian Ruting was eliminated first in the first melee, she was no longer valuable.
Nian Jinxing and Nian Ruting were pressed to kneel on the ground, and Su Liang silently carried the medicine box back to the original position.
This is not the most serious fraud case since the imperial examination in Gan State, but it will definitely be the most sensational.
"Who is the mastermind?" Duanmu Yi asked coldly.
Nian Jinxing said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I know nothing!"
"I am the mastermind!" Nian Ruting's voice was weak but firm, "I am jealous that my fourth sister is better than me in everything, and I want to replace her identity and live!"
Mu Ya smiled, "You are more beautiful than your fourth sister, and your status is not lower than hers. I am very curious, she is better than you in everything? What is good about her? Will the Nian family be struck by lightning if they let the fifth lady participate in the martial arts examination with her original identity?"
"Your Majesty, everything is my idea, it has nothing to do with my fourth sister, and it has nothing to do with anyone!" Nian Ruting looked anxious and wanted to explain.
But now, no matter what reason she gave, it was completely untenable in the face of facts.
"Take the people away. Arrest the entire Nian family and interrogate them carefully!" Duanmu Yi said coldly.
"Your Majesty! It was really all my idea! Because my fourth sister was granted marriage to the second prince as a concubine, I couldn't bear to see her being wronged, so I took the initiative to participate in the martial arts examination for her, hoping to gain fame. I beg Your Majesty to take back the decision!" Nian Ruting said loudly.
Su Liang held his forehead. What on earth was the fifth daughter of the Nian family thinking? It seemed that she was another person controlled by Nian Ruxue, and she was still desperately defending Nian Ruxue. But the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Her words are just adding fuel to the fire! Nian Ruxue had been hammered to death before, and now her ashes were directly scattered...
Sure enough, before Nian Ruting finished speaking, the eyes of the whole audience were focused on the second prince Duanmu Ao.
His face turned pale and blue, and he was furious, gritting his teeth, "The marriage was granted by my father, and the Nian family despised the emperor's power and was so bold. I request that the entire Nian family be executed!"
It was not until this moment that Nian Jincheng, who had left on the pretext of something, finally came back.
"Second brother! Please beg the emperor! We really don't know anything!" Nian Jinxing shouted.
Everyone was watching Nian Jincheng's reaction, and waiting to see whether Duanmu Yi would also arrest Nian Jincheng, whom he valued very much.
Mu Ya "kindly" explained Nian Jincheng's doubts, and her words were so weird, but very close to the truth.
"General Nian, please ask the emperor for mercy! You just returned to Beijing last night, so you must not know." Mu Ya showed that she was very special to Nian Jincheng in public.
Nian Jincheng knelt down and said loudly, "I left home before and didn't know what they did. I believe that the emperor will find out the truth. Those who made mistakes will be severely punished by law to serve as a warning to others!"
This "plea" directly made Nian Jinxing and Nian Ruting lose all hope...
Nian Jincheng was also asked to cooperate with the investigation.
At this time, the second challenge was finally over. Zhao Yang won, but he was also seriously injured.
Then, Zhao Yang asked to give up the next battle for the top scholar.
Duanmu Yi was right and announced that there was no second place in this year's martial arts examination. Gao Jiabao and Zhao Yang tied for second place, but both won the third place.
"Aunt is the top scholar!" Zheng'er cheered.
Su Liang was a little confused. She had prepared for the finals for a long time, but she didn't expect that she didn't play much in the end, and she became the top scholar?
However, Su Liang's preparation was still useful, because Mu Ya proposed again to challenge the martial arts champion Su Liang.
Duanmu Yi asked in public whether Su Liang dared to accept the challenge.
If she answered no, it would be a disgrace to the country. If she lost, it would also be a disgrace to the country.
Therefore, Su Liang soon ushered in a real battle. If she won, her goal of becoming the top scholar would be possible. If she lost, she would definitely be cursed.
