The entrance of the Imperial College was bustling with people. When school was over, carriages from all families were waiting outside. The servants stood on tiptoe to look inside, afraid that they would miss their masters if they were distracted.
The village secretary beside Lu Yan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He had waited for a long time but did not see the two young masters come out.
The person sent to the palace to report the news was nowhere to be found. He was just a servant, not qualified to enter the Imperial College, and he had no idea how to go in to find out what was going on.
"Xiangshu, what's going on?"
Chunxi pulled Xiangshu over and asked, "But what happened to the two masters?"
When Xiangshu turned around, he first saw Chunxi with a serious expression. He was stunned for a moment, then looked back along her figure - the lady had actually come!
"Your servant greets the Madam!"
Shen Ruoyan: "Have you asked clearly? Why haven't Yan'er and Changchuan returned yet?"
Xiangshu said anxiously, "After school, the other young masters all came out, but the two young masters have not come out yet. I wanted to go in and ask, but was stopped and not allowed in. I only heard from other servants I know that it seems that they were kept here."
The Imperial Academy would not keep students here for no reason, and they would not send someone out to pass on the message. Obviously something happened!
Shen Ruoyan made a prompt decision and led his men directly into the Imperial College.
"stop!"
The gatekeeper stopped them and said, "Who are you? This is a government-run school. No one is allowed to enter or leave!"
“Bold!”
Qiu Ye stepped forward first, "You're blind, this is the wife of the Marquis of Changning!"
"I am a humble person who failed to recognize a great man. I hope that Madam will forgive me." Upon hearing the noise, the man on the right came down. He changed his arrogant attitude and became very fawning.
However, "This is an important place for government education, madam, you can't force your way in."
He was respectful, but he didn't give in. Most of the carriages at the door had already left, but there was still a luxurious carriage parked alone on the right, which was particularly conspicuous.
That is the carriage from Prince Shun’s palace!
Qiu Ye wanted to argue, but Shen Ruoyan raised his hand to stop her.
She walked forward slowly, and the people around her automatically stepped aside to make way for her.
Shen Ruoyan has always been elegant, but at this moment her face turned cold, and even her eyebrows and eyes were a little sharper.
"My son, the prince of the Changning Marquisate, has disappeared from the Imperial Academy. First, no one has informed me, and second, I'm not allowed to enter. If anything goes wrong, will you trade your life for my son's?!"
Teng!
Teng!
Teng!
The guards behind Shen Ruoyan all drew their swords from their sheaths, and the silver light reflected from the swords forced the guards to take a few steps back.
But Shen Ruoyan pressed on step by step, his gaze like a sharp sword, pointing at his neck:
"Can you afford to pay for it?"
She walked in step by step, calm and composed, yet with a sense of distance that made people afraid to approach her, as if she was born to be that way.
So noble, yet so frightening.
The guards held their knives tightly. The leader looked inside, his face darkening terribly.
But he didn't dare to stop him.
"Let him go! Let him go!"
As soon as Shen Ruoyan rushed in, she heard the crying of the child and Lu Changchuan's heartbreaking roar!
Chunxi was so panicked that she almost fell down. But Shen Ruoyan calmly quickened his pace and rushed inside.
"stop!"
The scene in front of me is jaw-dropping!
Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan were surrounded in the middle. Both of them were restrained, their hands were grabbed, and their palms were hit with a ruler!
There was another child, pressing in front of the two of them, staring intently with red eyes.
The prince Song Xian of Prince Shun's mansion was throwing himself into his mother's arms, crying loudly!
"Why stop? Beat him! Beat him hard!"
Princess Shun did not restrain herself when she saw Shen Ruoyan coming, and was very dissatisfied when she saw the servants stopped, "With this princess here, what are you afraid of?"
The servants hesitated for a moment, then raised their rulers. Shen Ruoyan rushed forward and snatched it away, "Let's see who dares?!"
Seeing this, Chunxi and Qiuye hurried forward and carried the two children out. The guards brought by Shen Ruoyan also blocked them behind them and protected them.
"Princess Shun, you are a princess of a noble family. But my mansion is not just for ordinary people. Since when did the prince of my mansion allow himself to be beaten and scolded?"
Chunxi and Qiuye were busy comforting Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan, but Shen Ruoyan didn't look at them.
She is not a doctor, and even if she looks at the children's injuries for a few more seconds, they will not be healed.
But she must seek justice!
"Madam Changning, your child hit my son. I am teaching him a lesson for their own good. Even if you report it to the Emperor, I am not afraid."
She smiled sinisterly, looking as vicious as a snake or scorpion.
Song Xian raised his head from her arms, revealing his wet face. There was a red mark next to his cheek, as if someone had slapped him.
Shen Ruoyan was shocked, but she said calmly: "May I ask, Princess, which child beat the prince? How did they beat him? Who saw it?"
“They didn’t fight.”
A small voice sounded in front of her. Shen Ruoyan lowered her head and only then noticed that there was a child in front of her.
After seeing the child's face clearly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Isn't this the Prince of Huainan?
The King of Huainan commanded a large number of troops and was one of the heirs.
However, he had no interest in the country and only wanted to defend the territory. So when the emperor's momentum for the throne grew, he asked to go to his fiefdom.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he had no reason to attack the King of Huainan, but he was also afraid of his strength.
Therefore, on the grounds that the frontier was remote and unsuitable for studying, the King of Huainan was asked to send the prince to Shengjing.
It is also for quality.
"Mother, after school, Song Xian ordered people to block Huai'an and sprinkle ink on him. A Yan and I were just helping him. The wound on Song Xian's face was caused by him falling to the ground because he lost his balance!"
Lu Changchuan yelled, his hair was all messed up and there were ink stains on his collar.
Lu Yan was no exception, half of his sleeves were black.
But the most serious one was Song Huaian, who was so distracted that he couldn't see clearly.
Now looking again, he was not wearing black clothes, but the whole clothes were stained black with ink!
"Nonsense! It was you who beat Xian'er, and now you want to be the first to complain?"
The princess was furious and spoke as if it were true, as if Song Xian had suffered a great injustice, which was why she was so angry!
Shen Ruoyan did not argue with her. "Even if this is the truth, it is up to the Master to prove right and wrong. What the princess did is no different from lynching."
Her voice was as cold as ice. Facing the princess's roar, her heart remained calm and composed without a single wave of emotion.
"The Emperor just gifted me the Changning Marquisate, praising the Marquis's talent and virtue, and his family's loyalty and honesty. Who in Shengjing doesn't know that the Changning Marquisate is loyal to the Emperor?"
Shen Ruoyan's eyes turned, and the look he gave the princess was as real as a sword:
"Even for the sake of the Emperor, the Princess should have thoroughly investigated this matter before deciding. Now she's resorting to lynching. Could it be that she's dissatisfied with the Emperor?!"
