Qin Yi nodded and took her hand in stride, "You've had a tough time, Pan'er."
"His Majesty already knew about these matters; my speaking of them now is nothing but showing off my slight skills before an expert," Su Pan'er glanced at Marquis Yingwu not far away and quickly withdrew her hand, "It's just that I couldn't bear to see His Majesty work so hard, hence I said a few more words."
Qin Yi smiled, "However, you only mentioned that the students cheated, which seems not to be the whole story, right?"
"Aside from the students cheating, officials cheat as well."
Su Pan'er spoke with confidence, "The reasons why examiners cheat are rather complex. Some are compelled by power, some due to personal feelings, and some for money. Regardless of the reason, there are mainly two forms of cheating: one is leaking test questions, like what happened during last year's Beneficent Examination. The other is using secret signals."
