Chapter 72 I Know
72
When Lin Baige rushed over, they wouldn't even let him in, saying that he was too ill to see guests, and it would be bad if he infected the imperial concubine.
"Okay, okay, you call me queen again. I hate it the most when people call me queen." Lin Baige felt that he had no face at all and was turned away. He always thought that he was second to none, but now he couldn't even go to an official's house to meet his students.
The father-in-law at the side heard his mumbling and thought to himself that although you are a favorite concubine, you are still a man after all. It is not appropriate to just go to someone else's house and meet their female relatives.
"Why don't we invite His Majesty here? If there's a place you can't get in to, just ask His Majesty to come and scan his face, and then you can get in." Lin Baige said.
The eunuch complained in his heart, you really treat the emperor as a pass, in this whole country, you are the only one who can invite His Majesty.
Fourteen told him, "His Majesty went to review the troops early this morning and is not in the palace."
Lin Baige: "...It seems they have calculated the time perfectly. Well, it's not a good idea to force our way in. Let's go back to the palace first."
I can't be too strong, or I'll have to act pitiful when I go back today. Fortunately, the last mission was completed, and the medicines in his clinic have doubled, so there are enough eye drops for him.
He also discovered a use for the space. When entering the space, the time in the ancient world stopped. As long as he switched quickly, Fu Jiangyu would not be able to see him putting eye drops in his eyes. Even if Fu Jiangyu stared at his face, all he could see were his tears falling from his eyes.
Fu Jiangyu heard about this on his way back to the palace. Lin Baige had been acting more and more courageous recently. He asked the secret guard who delivered the message, "Did he destroy the houses of those families? Did he rush in and rob them?"
The secret guard replied to Fu Jiangyu that Lin Baige had returned to the palace.
"You're back to the palace without doing anything?" Fu Jiangyu was very surprised. Recently, Lin Baige always seemed to be fearless even if he poked a hole in the sky. Today, he actually returned to the palace.
Fu Jiangyu always felt that something was wrong. This little guy must have gone back to prepare a plan that would catch everyone off guard.
In the past, Fu Jiangyu could not find Lin Baige when he returned to the palace. Eight out of ten times, he was writing furiously in the study, and twice he was studying his vegetables in the vegetable garden. Sometimes he had not returned from school yet and was busy with his students until midnight.
He put all his efforts into his school and named it the Institute of Science. No one knew what science meant and he didn't explain it. Every day when he went to his institute, his little expression was full of energy.
When Fu Jiangyu returned to the palace, he went to the study first, but didn't see anyone. When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Lin Baige sitting on the bed listlessly.
"What's wrong? Have you encountered any setbacks?" Fu Jiangyu sat down on the edge of the bed and was about to hug him from behind, but Lin Baige tilted his body and leaned on him.
"It's okay." Lin Baige finished speaking, tears streaming down her cheeks. He wiped away his tears and turned his head away. "It's okay. I think they're right. I should just be content to be my imperial concubine in the palace. I shouldn't have such big ambitions. I should dress up beautifully every day and wait for His Majesty to return to the palace. My biggest duty is to sleep with His Majesty and serve Him well. There's no need to do so much. No one understands me, let alone respects me."
Lin Baige sniffed and continued to drip artificial tears, tears streaming down her face. In Fu Jiangyu's eyes, she was crying silently. This fragile little beauty made Fu Jiangyu feel distressed.
Fu Jiangyu seemed to have already seen Lin Baige's lonely look when he was shut out. She was the apple of his eye, but she was looked down upon by everyone outside. It seemed that he had treated them too well. Even he didn't dare to let Lin Baige suffer any grievances, but they dared to treat Lin Baige like this.
Fu Jiangyu hugged Lin Baige and kissed him on the forehead: "I understand."
Lin Baige didn't know what he meant by "I know" and didn't dare to ask. But the next morning, he heard that Fu Jiangyu was furious at the morning court. Not long after the morning court ended, the ministers who had turned him away yesterday came to apologize to him in person, saying that their daughter had recovered from her illness and could return to the factory.
Lin Baige asked Fourteen about what happened at the morning court today. Fourteen often acted as a double agent for Fu Jiangyu and Lin Baige, helping Fu Jiangyu record what Lin Baige said and did, and helping Lin Baige convey what Fu Jiangyu did today.
Fourteen told him that Fu Jiangyu said two things today. One was that no one was allowed to slander Lin Baige as a demon concubine. "His Majesty said that anyone who slanders him in the future is slandering me. No matter who it is, they will be beheaded. The second thing is about the imperial examination. His Majesty said that if they don't agree with you opening a factory, the imperial examination will be abolished. The imperial examination and women becoming officials were both proposed by you. If they are abolished, both of them will be abolished. If anyone is dissatisfied or unbalanced, they can blame the ministers who stopped you at the door yesterday."
Lin Baige didn't expect Fu Jiangyu to defend him like this: "How did they react?"
Fourteen: "They were so frightened that their faces turned pale. The imperial examination was a major event for the entire world. How could they bear the combined anger of everyone projected onto the three of them?"
Lin Baige nodded. He had suspected before that the three ministers did not allow their daughter to be the director of his factory because they might have been threatened by other ministers and locked their daughter up at home.
Fourteen: "Your Majesty also said that if you do not forgive these three people, the imperial examination will be postponed for one day if their daughters do not return to the factory."
Lin Baige calculated the time and it was almost time for the imperial examination. If it was delayed, so many students would be delayed and the candidates would be skinned alive.
This time it was Lin Baige's turn to turn them away: "I can't appear too worthless and make them anxious."
Lin Baige called the eunuch over and said, "Tell them that I'm sick. The academy is closed and the factory is shut down. They can only reopen when I'm better."
