[So considerate! Doesn't the little tyrant know he's completely shattered his persona?!]

While she was internally complaining, Yun Qing was actually quite moved. It felt like a dream come true – like a seedling she had carefully nurtured slowly growing into the shape she hoped to see.

Looking back, although he encountered many troubles on the way, it also helped the little tyrant grow. By seeing and experiencing the people's lives, he was able to gain a deeper understanding of the situation among the common people.

Yun Qing praised, "Good ambition, keep it up, and the people of the world will thank Qi An."

[That way, history won't focus on your unorthodox ways; becoming a wise ruler is the right path!]

Overall, Xie Rang's political skills were quite remarkable. Many people in later generations lamented that he was born in the wrong era. Yun Qing tried her best to guide him onto the path of a normal person and also wanted to see if there was any room for changing this conclusion.

"I don't want the world's people to thank me..."

As he spoke, Xie Rang's voice gradually lowered, and his gaze fell on Yun Qing. He continued, "I just don't want to let my teacher down."

Xie Rang was extremely vengeful. The Grand Tutor probably knew that even if he had been pushed into the water by those two eunuchs when they first met, he would have found a way to get revenge soon.

He knew that he could better hide himself by making people lower their guard, but these dirty sides were eliminated by Yun Qing before they could even surface.

But that doesn't mean these things don't exist at all; he's just a selfish person who doesn't want to care about too much.

"you……"

Yun Qing was startled by his words and realized that she had been thinking too simply.

Is it really possible to become this dependent?

Yun Qing had heard that many children had a chick complex. Thinking about it carefully, Xie Rang being called a tyrant was not unrelated to his personality. Perhaps it was because she took the initiative to help him that she developed some inexplicable possessiveness.

After a moment's thought, she composed herself and said, "If that's what Qi'an wants to think, then let your teacher see just how far you can go."

In any case, Yun Qing will not have any intention of backing down for a long time to come. If the little tyrant takes this as his goal, it might be a good thing.

Seeing the change in the Grand Tutor's expression, Xie Rang suddenly became bolder and grabbed her sleeve: "Don't worry, teacher, I will."

Xie Rang was well aware that after returning from this journey, he would face an even more dangerous struggle. Whatever he wanted to do, he had to win this struggle first.

He lowered his eyes, his gaze growing colder with each passing moment, hoping that his good royal uncle could hold on a little longer.

The border was desolate, and there wasn't much to see in the city. After walking around for most of the way and buying some local specialties, Yun Qing and Xie Rang finally returned to their residence.

Now that there was enough time and the location was suitable, Yun Qing took the opportunity to assign Xie Rang some homework: "Your Majesty, please write a policy essay. I will come to examine it tomorrow morning."

Yunqing walked and stopped frequently, thinking that the main purpose was to broaden her horizons. It had been a long time since she had assigned any homework, and now that she was going to stay here for a while, she couldn't let this opportunity go to waste.

There are many restrictions in the palace, and one must always be wary of being monitored. It is much more comfortable to be outside, and it is a good opportunity for Yun Qing to check whether Xie Rang has made any progress in his studies.

Xie Rang hated writing the most, but under Yun Qing's pressure, he had managed to write quite well. When he heard that he had to write a policy essay, he immediately became a little dejected, but still replied, "I will write it well."

Hearing this tone, Yun Qing wanted to laugh. She reached out and patted the little tyrant's head: "The key to policy essays is not quantity, but Your Majesty's genuine feelings. I will not care about the word count."

Some policy essays are so long and tedious, they're like a tattered, bound-up book. Don't they even know what a summary is? Who are they trying to embarrass?!

Xie Rang accepted the instruction: "Grand Tutor, I understand."

After saying that, he went back to his room with a serious little face.

After confirming that she could no longer see anyone, Yun Qing's previously calm expression immediately changed, and she called out, "Qinglan!"

A female bodyguard dressed in a smart and neat outfit appeared beside her, helped her up, and asked with concern, "Young master, are you having your period?"

Yun Qing closed her eyes briefly, her lips turning slightly pale: "Yes."

The biggest problem with women dressing as men is that even if physical characteristics can be concealed as much as possible, menstruation cannot be hidden every month.

The original owner of this body did not suffer from menstrual cramps before, but after being poisoned last time, cold air entered her body. Mr. Yu treated Yun Qing for more than half a year, but she was not completely cured and still has lingering problems. She felt something was wrong on her way back, which is why she couldn't wait to send the little tyrant away.

Qinglan said seriously, "I'll help you back to your room first, then I'll go brew the medicine."

Because of this trip, Mr. Yu had already prepared the medicine. Qinglan just needed to go to the kitchen to brew it. Now she is much better. After taking one dose, there is basically no sign of anything unusual about Yunqing.

"Um."

Yun Qing felt that menstrual cramps were really inhuman. Although they weren't life-threatening, once the pain started, it was intense and made her break out in a cold sweat.

Back in her room, Yunqing felt completely exhausted. After tidying up a bit, she went to bed to rest. Later, Qinglan brought in some medicine for her to drink, and she felt much better. She didn't eat dinner and slept soundly until the next morning.

Li Yunshu secretly slipped in early in the morning to check on her. When Yun Qing opened her eyes, she saw the little girl's dark eyes and slowly became awake: "Why are you here?"

“I saw Sister Qinglan brewing medicine last night. I guessed it was my older sister, so I thought I'd come and check on her.”

Yun Qing rubbed her forehead: "I feel much better after a good night's sleep. Mr. Yu's medicine worked. I'm fine now, so don't worry."

Li Yunshu looked worried: "Sister, you're always so stubborn. I asked the kitchen to make you some brown sugar water, have some."

"This isn't about showing off..." Yun Qing tried to explain, but realizing she couldn't, she gave up. "What time is it now?"

"It's morning."

"Oh no!" Yun Qing slapped his forehead and stood up with Li Yunshu's help. "I was just saying I wanted to test His Majesty's strategies. I wonder if that child is already waiting!"

Li Yunshu muttered, "Isn't there a need to be in such a hurry?"

Yun Qing chuckled: "He is, after all, His Majesty."

Summer days are long, and it was already bright outside. Yun Qing quickly dressed, ate breakfast, and went to the outer hall, where she found Xie Rang already waiting there.

Xie Rang saw the Grand Tutor rushing over and glanced at her, then subconsciously remarked, "Grand Tutor, why do you look so...weak?"

Especially when he got closer, Xie Rang easily detected the bitter medicinal smell emanating from his body.

His head buzzed, and he suddenly stepped forward.

"Grand Tutor, are you ill?"
