About This Novel
Scholars from all over the country rushed to the capital to take part in the imperial examination. But less than two days after the exam started, a candidate was brutally murdered in his dormitory. The examination rooms are separated by brick walls and monitored at the same time, which is equivalent to a "double secret room". How did the murderer sneak into the cell? How did the murder weapon disappear out of thin air? "Female Palace Detective" Fang Xinmei, Xuanzhen, Mu Hong and others were ordered to investigate, but unexpectedly discovered a series of cases of severed hands, and were almost assassinated by hidden arrows. At the same time, a poem about the abuses of the imperial examination suddenly appeared on the golden statue of Maitreya Buddha in the palace; an imperial examination scholar drank half a cup of leftover wine handed to him at a banquet hosted by the new champion, and then died of poison. Hidden arrows with no trace, "oracles" appearing for no reason, poisonings in full view... A series of mysteries surrounding the imperial examinations are slowly unfolding. Fang Xinmei may finally be able to find out the truth of the case, while the power struggle and emotional entanglements in the court continue.

Much better than the first one hahaha! Is it just that the relationship between Xinmei and Xuanzhen is a bit strange? The strange thing is that Xuanzhen has been talking to sister Xinmei, and the sister's shouting is a bit abrupt. I hope the author can improve their emotional line. There is also Xuanzhen's flattery of Xinmei in the book. But at the end of the conversation between the emperor and Xuanzhen, Xuanzhen seemed to be playing a big game of chess. There is also the relationship between Shen Qiaoqiao and Xuan Zhen, which seems unusual. I really want to watch the case in the third part now, the infighting in the palace, and whether there will be any progress in the case of Xinmei's father. What kind of secrets are hidden in those old events? The more I watch, the more excited I am! 🤔Looking forward to the third part!
A bit interesting
The thinking is careful, the logic is tight, and there are no obvious loopholes. The ending is unexpected. It's just that Xuanzhen's plan is not small when he plays such a big game. Is there a third one?
The characters are written in the same pretentious manner as always, and the court remains dim and incompetent. I can say that the first book is not deeply involved in government affairs but I can still read it to the end. The second book is really unreadable. The first one is very low in terms of palace fighting. This one still relies entirely on the blessing of words. The protagonist who solves the case has no initiative and is just a puppet with ideas. The right to investigate the case is completely controlled by others. Therefore, solving the case lacks the meaning of upholding justice and upholding the law. In this way, the heroine is still thinking about redressing her father's injustice. . .
