When Lin Xiaoyue heard the question, she was also slightly stunned.
She looked at the Imperial Advisor.
Seeing the Imperial Advisor smile at him, he couldn’t help but smile.
Then, he did not delay any longer and turned to look at Xu Yan.
“I’ll have to trouble Mr. Xu to write for me.” He said to Xu Yan.
Xu Yan was shocked.
Could this woman really solve this question?
Without thinking much, Xu Yan immediately asked the person beside him to put down the question. Then, he went to the table and picked up the brush.
“5 in the middle,” Lin Xiaoyue said as she walked forward.
Xu Yan glanced at Lin Xiaoyue, picked up his pen, and wrote five in the middle.
“2 and 4 at the two top corners.”
Xu Yan continued to write.
“6 and 8 at the two lower corners.”
Everyone looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
“3 on the left, 7 on the right, 9 on the left, 1 on the right.” Seeing that Xu Yan could keep up, Lin Xiaoyue simply finished her answer.
Xu Yan quickly filled in the numbers.
After filling in the numbers, he didn’t even put down his brush and started to calculate.
As the examination went on, everyone realized that Xu Yan’s body was actually trembling.
Moreover, it was trembling more and more violently.
Then, he suddenly retreated and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xu Qing’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly supported his master.
The rest of the people in the hall were also shocked. Some even stood up from their seats, wanting to see what was happening around Lin Xiaoyue and the others.
What was going on? Master Xu Yan actually vomited blood.
Was it because of Mrs. Li?
So, had the problem been solved?
Xu Yan pushed Xu Qing to help him stand up.
Then, he took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart. Then, he took a step forward and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue.
“I admit defeat. This time around, 1 admit defeat wholeheartedly…”
As soon as these words were said, the hall was instantly in an uproar.
The ministers of Yan were overjoyed and whispered to each other.
They won! Mrs. Li really got the last question right!
Moreover, she even made Xu Yan admit defeat!
Emperor Yan was also delighted and agreed to the Sixth Princess’ bragging about Lin Xiaoyue.
As for the two princes of Chu Jin, they were so angry that smoke almost came out of their noses.
The two of them stood up from their seats angrily.
With a snort, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Seeing this, Emperor Yan did not ask him to stay.
The Great Yan had solved ten questions in a row, and they had lost the first half completely. No wonder they were so angry.
Since they had to come back in the afternoon, he would continue to watch the second half of the game.
“Elder Xu, thank you. Victory and defeat are common in a battheground. Elder Xu, you must take care of your health.” Lin Xiaoyue said.
Xu Yan nodded.
He looked exhausted, as if he had aged several years in an instant.
“I will take my leave.” Then, he cupped his hands at Lin Xiaoyue again.
Lin Xiaoyue returned the greeting.
“Take care, Elder Xu.”
Only then did Xu Yan let Xu Qing support him and leave the hall with the rest of Chu Jin’s men.
After Xu Yan and the others left, the clamor in the hall instantly soared.
“Congratulations! Today, 1 finally understand what it means to be a woman who is not inferior to a man!”
“Madam Li, this old man toasts you!” A general in armor suddenly stood up and raised his wine cup to Lin Xiaoyue.
Then, without waiting for Lin Xiaoyue to reply, he drank it all in one gulp.
“This old master also toasts Madam Li! Madam Li fought against the envoy of Chu Jin today, using the art of arithmetic to destroy the prestige of Chu Jin and raise the prestige of the Great Yan. How magnificent!” This time, the person who stood up with a wine cup was the Prime Minister, the head of the civil officials.
“…” With the civil and military officials leading the way, more people began to toast Lin Xiaoyue.
Moreover, everyone drank and did not have the intention of letting Lin Xiaoyue drink as well.
At this moment, they were truly impressed.
In their eyes, Lin Xiaoyue was no longer a woman, but an important weapon of the Yan Country.
To a master like him, gender was no longer important.
Seeing this, the Sixth Princess also raised her glass and spoke to Lin Xiaoyue.
Then, she finished her glass of wine.
Emperor Yan smiled as he watched this scene from the side. He was also very pleased.
In the end, he also raised his cup to Lin Xiaoyue.
“Madam Li has made great contributions for the country and for me. 1 too, offer a toast to Madam Li!”
When Emperor Yan toasted, Lin Xiaoyue had to return the favor.
After receiving the wine from Eunuch Dahu, Lin Xiaoyue thanked the Emperor and downed it in one gulp.
“Hahahaha…” Seeing Lin Xiaoyue drink the wine, Emperor Yan laughed heartily.
At this moment, the Sixth Princess suddenly spoke.
“Father! She has solved ten of Chu Jin’s problems. In the end, she even solved the question left behind by Master Xu Yan’s master. It’s enough to show her supreme attainments in the path of arithmetic..”
