Chapter 124: Madam Zhu entrusts her orphan to her



After saying all this in one breath, Sang Jueqian did not dare to delay any further and hurried to see Li Junyan's reaction in Xizhou.

Although she had known Li Junyan for such a long time and had not found any pedantic ideas in him, she wanted women to go to school, to control their own destiny, and to have the same status as men.

For an ancient person who was born and raised thousands of years ago, or a prince, these rules challenged their cognition, status and rights.

Sang Jueqian was not sure how Li Junyan would react after hearing what he said.

Li Junyan was still standing there, his expression didn't seem to have changed at all, but his eyes seemed to have become brighter.

It was even so bright that Sang Jueqian couldn't understand it.

Why is he so happy?

Sang Jueqian was thinking in his heart when he heard Li Junyan slowly speak.

"Qianqian, every time I think I know you well enough, you always give me a bigger surprise!

You can actually think of so much! You actually have such extraordinary insights! You truly deserve the title of goddess."

The worry in Sang Jueqian's heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

But at the same time as being happy, Sang Jueqian felt a little embarrassed.

"Lezhi, don't get me wrong. This isn't something I came up with on my own. It was all thought up by some great people. They thought about it and did it this way. I'm just summarizing their experience and telling you."

Li Junyan's expression remained unchanged, "Not everyone can apply what they have learned.

Many people forget what they learn, and don’t even know what they learned it for.

In this respect alone, Qianqian has surpassed many people."

Sang Jueqian, “.......”

He was praising her so earnestly that she almost took it seriously!

After taking a few deep breaths, Sang Jueqian managed to calm himself down.

"Lezhi, so you agree with my point of view? And you agree with this method?"

"certainly!"

"Then I hope that when Tingzhou and Xizhou are rebuilt, more academies can be built, divided into men's academies and women's academies, so that all women can have the same opportunities as men, to learn to read and write, and to make wise decisions."

"Okay." Li Junyan put away his smile and became very serious, "I promised Qianqian that I would build a girls' school according to what Qianqian said.

In Tingzhou and Xizhou, as long as you are willing to go to school, no matter what your age or status, you can go to school.

It’s just that there has never been a girls’ school like this before, so there are many things I don’t understand or can’t think of.

Qianqian, can you help me take a look?"

"Of course!" Sang Jueqian agreed without hesitation. "I can write a plan for you first, and then find some information and videos for you to refer to."

"Sorry for the trouble, Qianqian."

"It's not a bother, it's not a bother." Sang Jueqian's cheeks felt a little hot. "If you really want to talk about trouble, it should be me who is causing you trouble."

If she hadn't asked him to, he wouldn't even have to think about or do these things, which would have saved him a lot of trouble.

Li Junyan slowly shook his head, "Qianqian is doing this for the people of Dazhou and for the future of Dazhou, not for herself, and she won't gain any benefit from it.

There are many people in this world who never do anything that is not beneficial to themselves. Qianqian is different from them and deserves the title of goddess! "

Just as Sang Jueqian was about to answer, he saw Lin Qi hurried over.

Lin Qi stood three feet away from Li Junyan and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the doctor said that Madam Zhu is dying and she wants to see you. Your Highness, are you willing to go?"

Li Junyan frowned, but nodded slightly, "Then let's meet! Lead the way."

"yes."

Lin Qi took Li Junyan to see Mrs. Zhu. Sang Jueqian followed the two of them, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Madam Zhu is Zhu Wuyou’s wife. How could she possibly be dying?

Were you injured in the earthquake?

Then why did she want to see Li Junyan before she died?

Sang Jueqian had never seen this Madam Zhu before, and couldn't understand why she wanted to see Li Junyan.

Fortunately, she didn't need to think about it, as Li Junyan was soon taken into a tent by Lin Qi.

The tent is very big, more than 20 square meters, about the same size as a room.

There was a lot of furniture in the tent, as well as a four-panel screen.

After going around the screen, there is a bed behind it.

At this time, a woman with pale lips and no blood on her face was lying on the bed.

No need to ask, you know this must be Mrs. Zhu.

Zhu Wuyou is in his thirties, and Mrs. Zhu is probably about the same age.

Although she was covered with a quilt on the mountain, it could be seen from her exposed face, neck and wrists that she had a slender figure and her facial features were very graceful and beautiful.

Although his face was pale, his demeanor remained unchanged, and one could tell at a glance that he was of extraordinary status.

Mrs. Zhu's eyes were a little dazed until she heard the maid beside her whisper that Prince Chen had arrived. Then her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes became bright, and she looked towards Li Junyan.

"I... am sorry for not coming to greet you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Li Junyan looked straight at Madam Zhu and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"concubine..."

Just after saying this one word, Mrs. Zhu suddenly started coughing violently, with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. Her whole body was like a tattered kite, unable to hold up any longer and about to fall apart.

The maidservant helped her calm down while crying, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Madam Zhu took a long time to calm down, and finally said, "I... just want to ask how my husband died. But was it the prince who killed him?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else in the room lowered their heads at the same time, wishing they could just dig a hole and bury themselves.

Is this something they can listen to?

Even though he was questioned in front of so many people, Li Junyan did not show any anger. His expression remained calm. He looked directly into Mrs. Zhu's eyes and said word by word, "No, he was killed by An Yuankai. Many people saw it with their own eyes."

Madam Zhu grinned, "I believe in you, Your Majesty!"

Sang Jueqian frowned. I believe you still have something to ask?

Li Junyan raised his eyebrows, "What else?"

Madam Zhu took a deep breath and said, "I still have some dowry that I didn't touch last time. I can leave it to my two children."

But they are still young and have been spoiled by me. I am dying... I am worried about them. Can you ask the prince to look after them?"

Beside Mrs. Zhu's bed, there were kneeling a man and a woman. They both looked about fifteen or sixteen years old and were very good-looking, but they were both crying at this moment.

When the young man heard what Mrs. Zhu said, he quietly clenched his fists.

The girl quickly raised her eyelids and glanced at Li Junyan. When she lowered her eyes, her ears turned red.

Li Junyan glanced at the two of them calmly and refused directly, "No. This king will not take care of them."
