Chapter 318: Crisis is everywhere
Su Lingxi suddenly became motivated when she thought of this. Her sisters had not given up, so how could she live?
"Mother, what I am going to do in the future may implicate the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. I will write a letter of severance of marriage. No matter what I do in the future, it will have nothing to do with my family!" Su Lingxi said, and then she went back to the study to write the letter of severance of marriage.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our family is a family that will rise and fall together. Do you think a letter of severance of marriage can make the emperor no longer doubt us?"
The one who spoke was Su Bowen, who was still wearing armor and obviously rushed from the training ground.
Su Lingxi was sad, her voice hoarse: "But my daughter can't ignore those girls, they trust me so much and almost give me their lives!"
"You can't ignore those girls, and we can't ignore you either, so let's work together to find a way to save the girls' school!" Su Bowen's voice was like a loud bell.
Su Lingxi was a little bit unbelievable and uneasy: "But the emperor replaced the girls' school and he is even more jealous of the eldest princess. In this way, we are openly disobeying the emperor's will. Father was willing to be a powerless coach for the safety of our family. How can he..."
Su Changhe was already filled with righteous indignation. He said angrily: "We have already retreated to this point. Wouldn't the emperor be worried? If the emperor is just suspicious, we will let him feel at ease. But now he actually tolerates Zhang Yushi to attack civilians. Someone should speak out!"
Su Bowen gave him a stern look. Su Changhe was young after all, and he was outspoken. He didn't know the truth that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. You should do what you should do and never say what you shouldn't say!
Su Changhe knew he had spoken out of turn and stopped talking. Su Bowen took his wife and children into the study, and Lian Xu and Baizhi were guarding outside.
After entering the room, Su Bowen asked, "Lingxi, what are you going to do?"
Su Lingxi said, "I want to go to the palace in person to ask the emperor to release those who were captured! If the girls' school is necessary, they must be properly settled!"
Zhao Wanyue shook her head and said, "This method will not work. Even if the eldest princess comes forward to plead, it will be useless. Now, the emperor has seen the true strength of the girls' school and is even more jealous. Not only will he not release those students, but he is afraid that those who leave the girls' school have become thorns in his eyes, and more tragic things will happen later. Those in prison are safe instead. "
Su Lingxi calmed down and realized her naivety. A gleam of determination flashed in her eyes: "Since pleading is useless, let's make Zhang Yushi's atrocities public and let the civil and military officials see the emperor's attitude! "
Su Bowen said: "Lingxi, give this to me. Tomorrow when I go to court, I will directly report Zhang Yushi. In this way, the emperor will not be able to hide. There are memorials reporting Zhang Yushi, but they have all been withheld. The emperor wants to suppress this matter!"
Su Lingxi couldn't bear it: "But if this happens, father may not even be able to be a coach!"
Su Bowen said nonchalantly: "If the officers and soldiers are trained to point their guns at hundreds of people, If the emperor is not a real person, then he can just give up his job as a coach! If the facts are laid out before him and he still tries to evade the important issues, I'm afraid not only us but other officials will not be able to stand it either!"
Zhao Wanyue said, "Lingxi, your father is right. Leave these matters to your father. You should think more about how to protect the safety of those girls who have learned martial arts!"
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sister. I will help you. Saving people is what I am best at!"
[Not only am I good at saving people, I'm also good at killing people. If the dog emperor knows how to repent and doesn't want to be a good person but insists on being a dog, then don't blame me for being rude!] Su Xiaoxiao's voice was full of murderous intent.
Su Bowen and the others were nervous, but they agreed with Xiaoxiao's words. If the situation of the king of a country continued like this, the national strength that Dashuo had accumulated with great difficulty would be wasted by him.
Su Lingxi no longer hid at home. She didn't care about other people's gossip and went directly to the Princess's Mansion.
If there were still people in Dashuo who could support these women, there were only the Princess and the Queen Mother.
The princess looked visibly haggard. When she saw Su Lingxi, she pulled herself together and said, "Lingxi, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to go out until the problem is solved?"
Su Lingxi said anxiously, "The teachers in the school and those young children have been thrown into jail. I am really worried. And the emperor may take action against other people who leave our school. I am really worried!"
The princess sighed and said, "I thought the emperor realized the importance of girls' schools. Even if women are not allowed to take the imperial examinations and become officials, at least they will not be willing to waste such a large force. He is jealous of you and me, so we can withdraw from the girls' school and let him arrange someone he trusts to manage it.
I went to the palace again this morning and said so, but he said that the existence of the girls' school is a mistake. He even said that women have gone out to do business, and no one is willing to have children and raise children.
I think he is incompetent and is afraid that women will climb over his head! "
Su Lingxi was very angry: "The emperor is so... What kind of logic is this? Just because she is a woman, she will never be able to turn over.
But our people have stopped working and the capital is almost at a standstill. Isn't the emperor anxious at all?"
The princess said angrily: "He is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. However, his method is not to let those women go out to work with peace of mind, but to prepare to arrest them all.
He has taken away the list of all the students in the school. I believe that these people will be arrested soon!"
Su Lingxi was anxious: "Princess, They are all very rare craftsmen, they can't be captured like this!"
The eldest princess said tiredly, "I know it, but I underestimated the emperor's cruelty. I ordered you to let them break up and go home separately. Now that you have the list, you are simply walking into a trap. I am thinking of a way to notify them and have someone transfer them to my fiefdom as soon as possible, but time is running out and I can't save many. "
Su Lingxi suggested, "The Empress may be able to delay the Emperor and buy time for us!"
"The Empress has been under house arrest by the Emperor, and the Prince cannot even see her!" The eldest princess was furious when she thought of this. "
Then is there anything I can do?" Su Lingxi was eager to help!
The princess made a prompt decision: "Then use everyone you can, and notify the students who are left in the capital to leave the capital quickly!"
However, it was still too late. Before Su Lingxi left the princess's mansion, Li Yutang brought news: "The emperor has sent secret guards to arrest students from the girls' school."
