Chapter 170 "It's okay, I won't go back on my word"



How can someone so grown up be so good at acting cute?

Yun Qing clicked her tongue, raised her hand and gently placed it against his throat, telling him to stay away from her.

"When have I ever ignored you? I've just been busy lately."

Yunqing's official business requires coordination with the Imperial College, but the specific procedures have not yet been finalized, and everything has to be started from scratch, making it a huge project.

Fortunately, the rules set earlier have weeded out a large number of people who wasted resources and did not study. Now the Imperial College has spare space, which can be used for teaching. However, the teachers for the classes have not yet been decided.

Xie Rang, being unreasonable, said, "Yes, there is."

The throat is the most vulnerable part of the body. Once someone gets hold of it, they could easily take your life. Yet Xie Rang was completely unguarded against Yun Qing.

Feeling her Adam's apple gently sliding under her hand, Yun Qing sighed and withdrew her hand.

"Your Majesty, be more careful. If it weren't for me today, you would be in grave danger."

What tyrant? Yun Qing thought this guy was more like a naive love-struck fool.

"I trust the Grand Tutor."

Xie Rang repeatedly emphasized this matter, clearly because his previous experience had left a shadow on him. Yun Qing could be truly ruthless when she wanted to, and if the same thing happened again, Xie Rang really didn't know what he would do.

The existence of this system is far beyond the comprehension of this world.

"There's no need to emphasize this over and over again. I just want you to be more vigilant."

Yun Qing understood the source of his fear, and realizing that she had never told him this before, she said, "As long as Your Majesty does not harm me, I will not have the chance to leave."

The system's interests and hers are essentially intertwined, and all these skills are passively triggered; if Xie Rang doesn't intend to harm her, they won't work.

However, after what happened last time, Yunqing realized that the system's detection had loopholes.

She didn't make any absolute statements, leaving some room for maneuver: "If anything unexpected happens, I will find it."

In fact, isn't that exactly what she did last time?

Perhaps without realizing it, they had already become inseparable from each other.

Before you've thought things through, feelings are more persuasive than emotions.

"Grand Tutor, you don't need to work so hard. I'll come to you."

Xie Rang had obviously thought of the accident last time. Compared to the accident, he felt that Yun Qing staying away from him was not a big problem. As long as she was safe, that was enough. He couldn't have it all. Demanding too much would not end well.

He felt that it was incredible that Yun Qing could stay by his side.

Yun Qing was held tightly by the clingy young emperor, who wouldn't let go. Compared to her somewhat reserved feelings, the young man's way of expressing love was indeed much more intense. However, she didn't mind; she thought it was fine this way. Complementary relationships between lovers weren't a bad thing.

Yun Qing said with a sigh, "But I can't just take your sacrifices for granted."

She understood Xie Rang's feelings. At this age, he felt energetic and tireless in everything he did, but Yun Qing couldn't keep exhausting his passion.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Xie Rang released her, sat down beside her, and then took out an opened letter from his sleeve. "Dai Liangchun wrote, saying that he can send some female tutors to the capital."

Xie Rang took full responsibility for revealing his identity. It would have taken some time for the news to spread throughout the capital, but he intervened, and within a short period of time, Jiangnan also learned about it.

Dai Liangchun sent a letter by fast horse, praising the women and subtly hinting at the end that if needed, some good female teachers could be selected and sent to the capital.

Yun Qing took it and looked at it: "That's good. The school is short of teachers right now. But considering that everyone might have objections, I'll discuss with the school officials and come up with a test to examine them."

Teaching students to prove things is too slow. Just give them a test, and their true abilities will be revealed, silencing all dissent and solving the problem once and for all.

That's Yunqing's style of doing things.

Xie Rang smiled and said, "I'll have someone tell him right away and send the person over as soon as possible."

The weather has been a bit hot lately, and Yun Qing's body temperature is low. She didn't feel anything when she was alone, but as soon as Xie Rang came close to her, waves of heat washed over her. She tried to resist, but she couldn't help it and reached out to push Xie Rang to the side.

Xie Rang's eyes widened: "Grand Tutor?"

He noticed the subtle disdain in Yun Qing's movements, but he didn't know where this emotion came from, thinking that he was seeing things.

"It's a bit hot, don't get so close to me."

Yun Qing shattered his illusions. The main reason was that she had intentionally avoided Xie Rang since he grew up and had never gotten close to him before. The few times Xie Rang had tried to get close to her were very short-lived. She was now really troubled.

"The Grand Tutor is just looking down on me." Xie Rang still understood the implication. "The Grand Tutor wouldn't be like this in winter."

Some details can be traced.

As Xie Rang grew up, he noticed Yun Qing's growing distance, only to realize that when he warmed her hands in the winter, she never avoided him. Now that he thought about it, wasn't he just using himself as a ready-made source of warmth? Xie Rang had a fiery temper, the same in winter and summer, but the treatment he received was completely different.

Yun Qing remained silent.

She actually did it, and there was no way to refute it.

After hesitating for a while, just as she was about to reach out her hand to let him hold it, Xie Rang suggested first: "It's so hot in the summer, why don't we move to the palace? It will be much more comfortable there."

The palace is located against the mountain. In previous years, when it got hot, people would stay there for a while, and important officials would go with them. This year, it rained all month in May, and then it got hot early in June. The weather was strange and unpredictable, which must be related to natural disasters. Fortunately, it has now been cleverly avoided.

Yun Qing was very interested in the suggestion: "...Then let's go."

She had only agreed for a moment when she suddenly realized, "Xie Rang, are you really thinking of me, or do you have ulterior motives?"

Xie Rang was the emperor, so of course he could disregard etiquette and leave the palace whenever he wanted. There was a distance between the palace and his home, but once he arrived at the imperial palace, the situation changed completely. How the rooms were arranged was entirely up to him.

Yun Qing said in a low voice, "I think you just find it troublesome."

Xie Rang was thick-skinned, and being exposed didn't affect his good mood. His previous gloom vanished completely: "The Grand Tutor has agreed, so he can't go back on his word."

He was well aware of Yun Qing's good habits, and he wouldn't regret it even if he discovered them. As long as the goal was achieved, the process didn't matter.

Yun Qing lifted her eyelids, looked at him intently, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I won't go back on my word."

Someone will always want to back out.

Caught off guard, Xie Rang paused for a moment, a faint sense of unease rising within him, but it was quickly forgotten amidst Yun Qing's gentle smile.
