Chapter 232 - 91: Direct Admission Express (Part 2)
She was deliberately making things difficult for Yue Jinghua, her face bearing a fake smile as she loudly spoke, and her words fell into the ears of over a hundred alchemists, sparking a buzzing of discussions.
"I have an old acquaintance with Miss Yue. To avoid suspicion, it would be best if I abstain from judging. Please let General Qin handle this matter according to the legal norms," Fa Xiaoyi replied in a mockingly vague tone.
Qin Gang understood and was about to rise when he heard from outside the hall, the eunuchs reporting: "The Emperor has arrived---Princess Sha Fei has come---"
Just then, Fa Xiaoyun and Princess Sha Fei walked in. Seeing the situation inside the hall, Princess Sha Fei spoke softly, "Oh, wasn’t it said that the medicine test would start at noon? Why has it already been completed?"
Fa Xiaoyun laughed loudly, "My beloved, what’s there to see in a medicine test? For alchemists, alchemy is paramount."
The ministers immediately understood the intent behind Sha Fei’s words; she had specifically come to support someone.
Having such backing surely makes a difference.
The alchemists looked at Yue Jinghua with a mix of envy and jealousy.

Miss Yue Jinghua was delayed due to a minor matter, and while the ministers were discussing, it occurred to us that since Miss Yue is already an entry-level alchemist at Danlu, there’s no need for a medicine test; exemption is warranted."
