Chapter 147 The opportunity was sown from the very beginning.



Li Yunshu had already sensed it all along.

No, it's also possible that her parents, who live far away, told her at an appropriate time.

They are all very good people.

Perhaps it was because of this that they had the opportunity to change Li Yunqing's original fate, and Yunqing's arrival was also a gift from fate to them.

Like a hidden thread in the grass, its influence extends for miles.

The opportunity was sown from the very beginning.

Only when she could no longer see anything did Yun Qing lower her eyelashes and smile slightly: "Yun Shu is more mature than I imagined."

Although she knew I wasn't her older sister, she still treated me like a true older sister. This kindness is truly precious.

When Yunqing first learned the truth from the couple who had left home, she was shocked, but more than that, she felt relieved. This kinship should have belonged to Li Yunqing. If she had truly taken it without knowing why, she would have always felt guilty. It was not necessarily a bad thing that they were able to bring things up openly.

The reason Li Yunshu chose to make things clear at this time was probably because she thought that separating for a while would allow both of them to calm down and make it less awkward to face each other.

She may seem carefree and easygoing, but she has actually thought everything through long ago.

"It's a pity we won't see her for a long time."

Yun Qing blinked, quickly regaining her composure. She looked at the young man standing beside her and gave him a relaxed smile: "Go back, Your Majesty. Don't stay here any longer. The people will be coming out to join the fun soon."

The place they were in was not far from the city gate, and the people had already noticed it. However, the soldiers stopped them from coming over, otherwise Xie Rang would have become one of the focal points long ago.

After all, although they lived under the emperor's nose, very few common people could actually catch a glimpse of the emperor's face.

Because she was absorbed in her own emotions, Yun Qing didn't notice Xie Rang's somewhat forced smile. When she turned her gaze, Xie Rang had already returned to normal and replied, "Okay."

Today was a day off, so they were relatively relaxed. Instead of rushing to handle official business, they first went to inspect the Imperial College.

The reform system was implemented at the Imperial College at the fastest speed. When the news first came out, some sons of noble families who usually slacked off cried and begged their elders. Later, when they realized that there was no hope of change, they could only urge themselves to study hard. However, the daily deficit could not be made up in a day or two, which led to a polarization in the school.

Some who were certain they would be eliminated simply gave up, while those who were usually diligent studied even harder, striving to achieve a good ranking and perhaps even gain some recognition in front of the emperor.

The imperial decree was issued by the emperor himself and had nothing to do with Song Qiuping. He didn't need to spend too much time dealing with those who tried to take shortcuts. During this time, he stopped frowning and happily patrolled the Imperial Academy all day long, feeling as if he had found the feeling of going to school again.

The Imperial College, being a place for studying, should be a place where one should study diligently.

Song Qiuping was initially in a neutral camp and didn't understand why so many people had such a good opinion of the Imperial Tutor, but now he was starting to get a sense of it.

Everyone knows that the current emperor listens to the Imperial Tutor the most, and the reform of the Imperial Academy system largely depends on Yun Qing's influence, a fact he keeps in mind.

"Your Majesty, please wait a while. After these people are cleared out, their situation should be better."

Song Qiuping usually looks like a rather comical old man. His words and actions are quite interesting. He seems timid, but he is actually very meticulous. Especially recently, he has straightened his back. When he realized that Xie Rang was actually easy to talk to, he gradually became bolder.

“That’s good,” Xie Rang continued. “If there are any unsuitable teachers, they can be replaced as well.”

Song Qiuping's brow twitched. He looked up at the emperor, whose young demeanor was naturally imposing. His words, though not overtly serious, seemed to contain a hidden warning. Song Qiuping felt that things might be more complicated than they appeared.

Yun Qing noticed his troubled expression and stepped in to help him out: "Since the reform has already been carried out, Lord Song should see it through to the end. People who are all talk and no action are just a nuisance to be kept around."

Given the previous situation at the Imperial Academy, it wasn't just the students; many teachers were probably blinded by money as well. Now they only think Xie Rang is focusing on the students and haven't realized the impending crisis. It would be better to take this opportunity to wipe them all out and eliminate them completely, so as not to cause any further trouble.

Song Qiuping was deeply shaken.

He entered the court as an official during the reign of the late emperor, but had to temporarily avoid the limelight due to several outbreaks of cholera. In recent years, he was transferred to serve as the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy. However, he had already become worldly and shrewd in dealing with people. Now, in front of the two young men, his fighting spirit was rekindled by a few words, and he remembered his original wish - he also wanted to be a good official and contribute his own strength to the country!

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty and Lord Li. I will certainly live up to your expectations and thoroughly cleanse the area."

Song Qiuping's voice was strong and clear, and his expression was serious and determined, showing that he had made up his mind.

It's true that getting pumped up always works.

"Thank you for your hard work, Song Qing."

Receiving a signal from Yun Qing, Xie Rang quickly uttered some formulaic words. Although they were similar to what he usually heard, Song Qiuping still seemed particularly happy, as if he had received recognition, and his whole body was full of energy.

After leaving the Imperial College, we had lunch at Li's residence.

Since Li Yunshu returned, Xie Rang had almost no legitimate reason to visit her openly. He secretly came once, and when he left the next morning, he bumped into Li Yunshu. The expressions on both of their faces were quite interesting.

Now that Yun Shu has left, he no longer has so many concerns. Yun Qing won't kick him out, so he can just follow her in.

"Your Majesty? Xie Qi'an?"

Yun Qing had been distracted several times on the way back, and although she didn't want to mention it, her premonition was too strong. She clicked her tongue and said, "You've been absent-minded ever since you got back. Are you thinking about something you want to tell me again?"

"That's not the case."

Perhaps because he had discovered more things recently, Xie Rang suddenly realized that he was much more accepting of new things.

He had initially wondered why Yun Qing had come here and how she had arrived, but now it seemed that he had a vague answer.

Those who are away from their families should know something about it.

His eyes were dark and unreadable, and his voice was low and slow: "I was just thinking that the Grand Tutor's relationship with his family is quite good."

Since Xie Rang hadn't revealed his own secret, he had no right to ask Yun Qing about hers. Even though his heart was filled with anxiety, he kept telling himself to stay calm and patient, and that he would eventually get the answer.
