Chapter 77 – Ye Lang’s Weapon (3)
Translated by Magpie
“No. This time you must give them another test on your own.” The emperor returned to the throne and told Ye Lang.
“You’re asking me to give them a test? Okay.” Ye Lang looked at the emperor, and replied, “What else?”
“That’s all. Go back and think about what questions are appropriate. All are up to you.” The emperor said with a smile.
“Only for this, why do you ask me here? You could’ve just asked someone to tell me about this!” Ye Lang whispered.
“Idiot, the test that you give will impact the power transfer of the empire…” Princess Qi said impatiently. She knew Ye Lang was confused.
The emperor let Ye Lang give a test to choose his successor, which was very important for the whole empire.That’s why he was so cautious that he gave him this task in person.
It was believed that when Ye Lang considered what kind of test would be given to each of them, all these princes, princesses as well as many ministers would try to build a good relationship with him in order to get an easy test for themselves or those they supported.
Thus, Ye Lang became the focus in this power struggle, for he had the right to make such a big decision!
Because of this, when the emperor made this decision, almost everyone was shocked. It was unexpected that the emperor would give Ye Lang such a right. Did it mean that the emperor intentionally let Princess Qi inherit the throne?
Now, Princess Qi was Ye Lang’s fiancee, and Ye Lang gained this right, so it was clear that Princess Qi could take this advantage.
As for Princess Qi, in everyone’s eyes, she didn’t stand out in terms of appearance and wisdom. She definitely was not the most suitable candidate. If she became the successor, she would get into a lot of disputes.
However, with the support of the Ye family and Ye Lang’s outstanding ability, it was possible that she could become the successor.
Therefore, at this moment, Princess Qi and Ye Lang suddenly became the opponents in everyone’s eyes. No one had ever considered them their opponents before.
But this idea lingered on their mind for a while. Then everyone immediately gave up the idea!
Only because of Ye Lang –
“I don’t need to go back to think about it. I can show them a few questions, and let them write down their answers.” Ye Lang said and intended to give them a test on the spot.
And in such a short period of time, he could not figure out any particularly difficult questions so he just asked some questions that the average people could not answer.
“There is a rule. That is, you have to think about how to answer my questions alone. Try to answer as many questions as possible. You can find someone to help you answer the questions, but you can’t communicate! If you understand, get ready for it. Half an hour later, all come here!”
Ye Lang finished, and then took out the writing brush, the ink, the paper, and the ink stone to write down the questions…
“Sister, what do you think?” Ye Lang asked Ye Lan Yu next to her.
“…I can answer none of them…” Ye Lan Yu flushed said.
