Implementing "compulsory education" in Yulong Kingdom was not as difficult as imagined.
Currently, papermaking technology is quite advanced, and the quality of paper, printing technology, and the skills of workers are all quite good.
However, the pen is a problem. At present, the most commonly used pen is still the calligraphy brush. According to Guan Yingying, the production of pencil leads and wooden strips is not easy and the cost is very high.
Therefore, the quill pen is the first choice.
However, Xie Zhaozhao did not get involved in these livelihood issues, leaving them to Zhou Shaoyu.
In May, Emperor Hui fell seriously ill.
Xie Zhaozhao sent people to bring the deposed Crown Prince Zhou Jingrui and Prince Liang Zhou Jingqi to the capital.
Xie Zhaozhao even received some of the veteran officials.
After the merger of Da Gan and Yu Long Kingdom, Emperor Hui barely managed to hold on for these few months, which was already his limit.
Emperor Hui was overjoyed to see that his sons, grandsons, and Prince Jing had all been released.
"Emperor An, where have you locked Yu Rong up? Release her. It's better to let her support herself from now on. Don't keep her locked up anymore."
"I cannot agree to this. Everyone else can be released, but she cannot."
Zhou Jingrui looked somewhat agitated, probably having just taken drugs, and said sharply, "Release my imperial sister! Father is seriously ill, and you're still keeping her locked up? You're already the emperor, yet you're still so narrow-minded."
Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile, "I am doing this for your own good. If you insist on calling her over, I can agree. Don't regret it."
Emperor Hui was suspicious. What outrageous thing had Yu Rong done this time?
Xie Zhaozhao had Emperor Hui, the deposed Crown Prince Zhou Jingrui, the deposed Crown Prince Zhou Jingqi, and Prince Jing, among others, arranged for them to sit in Emperor Hui's room. The palace door was left slightly ajar, and a long screen was drawn to conceal them.
Xie Zhaozhao walked into the outer living room and said to Yuanyuan, "Call Princess Yurong here."
Silence fell immediately behind the screen.
A short while later, Princess Yurong was brought in. As soon as she entered, she said angrily, "Why don't you just kill me? What's the point of keeping me locked up like this?"
Emperor Hui waved his hand, ordering his secret guard Long Yi to go and confirm whether it was indeed Yu Rong.
Xie Zhaozhao: "I dare not let you go out. What if you go out and make panaceas to harm people again?"
How did you know it was me?
"How could I not know? Don't forget, although you are now wearing the skin of Princess Yu Rong, you are Guan Yingying inside."
As soon as Xie Zhaozhao finished speaking, a slight noise was heard from the inner room, and she twitched her lips slightly.
Shocking, isn't it? But the most shocking part is yet to come.
"Who told you I made the panacea?"
"Zhou Jingrui's chief servant, Shi Xiu, confessed before his death that you were the one who made the Panacea and Longevity Tea, dragging Zhou Jingrui down with you and driving him insane and inhuman. I heard that he was a serious drug addict and was still trying to get the Panacea in the imperial mausoleum."
Guan Yingying said disdainfully, "I originally only wanted to feed the emperor, but Zhou Jingrui recognized me and threatened me and my son. I am a convict. If my identity is exposed, Gu Chengyan, my son, and I will definitely die without a burial place."
"But you know the toxicity of the Panacea, it's extremely addictive, and the lifespan is no more than five years. Why did you give it to the Emperor?"
"People die for wealth, birds die for food. If the Emperor listened to me and Gu Chengyan, wouldn't wealth and status be within easy reach?"
Xie Zhaozhao nodded slightly: "Indeed! Guan Yingying, is Gu Yuebai Gu Chengyan's child or Zhou Jingrui's child?"
Hmm, Zhou Jingrui swore? They deliberately brought this up: someone disguised as a younger sister sleeping with Zhou Jingrui…
I refuse to believe Zhou Jingrui can hold on any longer!
"Of course it's Gu Chengyan's child! How could Zhou Jingrui let me leave my child behind!"
"Since you are wearing Princess Yu Rong's skin, you should have good money and status, so why do you keep using the Panacea to harm people?"
"Because the ancients were stupid. They actually regarded this as a great tonic, which would make them incredibly strong and have an unyielding erection. Since they were willing to eat it, they could be controlled by me. If you were in their shoes, you would do the same, right?"
"There must be a bottom line in how one conducts oneself. I deeply abhor such harmful things as the Panacea," Xie Zhaozhao said to Yuanyuan. "Take her away."
Guan Yingying shouted, "You can't lock me up anymore! I'll never be a panacea again! Please stop locking me up!"
"I don't believe the words of drug addicts! I heard that in the old prison, you poisoned several jailers with a magic pill? They were all helping you make hibiscus ointment? Ha, you drug addict who can recruit drug friends anytime, anywhere, I will never let you go out and harm others."
Xie Zhaozhao gave the order: No one is allowed to touch her or speak to her.
The imperial guards imprisoned Guan Yingying in the dungeon, while Xie Zhaozhao slowly walked into Emperor Hui's bedroom.
Long Yi, who was observing from the shadows, bowed his head and reported to Emperor Hui: "It is indeed Princess Yu Rong."
Shocked and ashamed, Zhou Jingrui's already dark and thin face lost all color.
With trembling lips, she asked Emperor Hui, "Isn't she a lucky star? Why?"
Emperor Hui coldly replied, "It's fake!"
Zhou Jingrui's eyes widened, and he pointed angrily at Emperor Hui: "Father, you have deceived your son so cruelly..."
He collapsed to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.
The imperial physician came to examine Zhou Jingrui's pulse and, after a thorough examination, shook his head and said, "Reporting to the Emperor Emeritus, the patient suffered a severe stroke and has passed away."
Zhou Jingrui thought of how the Wei family was so powerful, yet ultimately suffered a crushing defeat. From the moment Guan Yingying was born, his father had made a grand announcement to the world that Guan Yingying was the great lucky star prophesied by the Living Buddha.
The rest of the world is just a backdrop; the only ones they want to deceive are him and the Wei family.
It was all the Emperor's scheme. The Emperor despised the Wei family, and since he had their blood, the Emperor sent him a jinx.
He even went so far as to use trickery to steal it!
After taking the panacea, he made a series of blunders, went mad, and lost all composure.
