Chapter 1181: The Whole Nation in Mourning
Ever since she was young, Tong Nianyi had been different from everyone else.
Because Tao'er and Tong Zhihuan frequently nourished her body with Spiritual Energy, she could perceive subtle things others missed, such as a person's aura. Since she often dressed as a man herself, she found Xie Huan's male disguise glaringly clumsy. Anyone paying the slightest attention could see right through it.
When Ruyi looked over, she also spotted a telltale trace along Xie Huan's temples.
Her eyes widened as she recalled Yan Nantian's reaction when she had brought up this person earlier.
"No wonder..."
No wonder Yan Nantian had such a headache.
This Xie Huan truly had some tricks to have fooled the examiners so completely. After all, Ruyi had needed to pull strings with the emperor just to get Tong Nianyi into the examination hall.
Whose connections had Xie Huan used?
She had to be tied to a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet at the very least.
