Chapter 525: Death to Show One’s Will
The weather today is exceptionally clear, with golden light filling the earth, but it cannot illuminate the gloom in Su Ying's eyes.
Knowing that Su Ying would come, all the leaders of the academy waited outside the academy early.
At this time, all the parents who came to visit the academy had also arrived. Although they didn't have to arrive so early, they didn't dare to be negligent. Many of them had been waiting outside the academy before dawn.
"The Queen has arrived."
The crowd lined up in two teams outside the academy gate. As soon as Su Ying's carriage arrived, they all came forward and kowtowed.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
Zhou Qing helped Su Ying get down from the carriage.
Su Ying's cold eyes swept over everyone, "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Madam."
"No need to be polite. Today you are here to visit the academy. Please follow the attendants into the academy."
Su Ying walked into the academy first, and the others followed her in.
An attendant began to introduce the architecture of the academy to the family members.
"This building is the academy's observatory. You can stand on the observatory and watch the stars at night. Everyone can take a look."
As soon as the attendant finished speaking, an exclamation came from the crowd.
"ah!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a thin figure standing on the observatory.
She was wearing her student uniform and was sitting on the fence of the observatory, her body swaying.
"This, this is too dangerous, girl, hurry, go back, don't climb out."
"Tingting, it seems to be Tingting."
Soon, some students recognized the person on top.
"Tingting, child, what are you doing? Go back quickly!" A couple shouted excitedly after watching for a while.
Everyone's nerves were tense, and their eyes were fixed on the person above.
Tingting moved as if she heard some noise below, which made her shaky body even more dangerous.
"Tingting, don't move!" Mr. You shouted.
Seeing this, the guards around wanted to go up to the observatory, but Tingting suddenly took out a dagger and put it against her neck, "No one is allowed to come up. If anyone comes up, I will cut my throat immediately!"
These words scared the people below so much that they didn't know what was going on.
"Tingting, just say whatever you want to say, but don't do anything stupid!" Tingting's parents were almost crying.
Su Ying's phoenix eyes were fixed on her.
She looked around, then turned and disappeared into the crowd.
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on Tingting, and no one noticed Su Ying's movements.
"Girl, tell us what happened. We will definitely take care of it for you."
The cabinet minister who came today also shouted at the top of his voice.
"None of you can save me. Originally, I thought I came here to realize my dream, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect to fall into the devil's cave!" Tingting shouted like this, and everyone was confused.
"What on earth is going on?"
"I don't know. I just heard from my children that it seems that several children are sick..."
"Just last night, the people in the academy lied to me and said that the Queen wanted to test my knowledge, and took me out of the academy. I thought I could see the Queen and was so nervous that I couldn't speak. But I never thought that it wasn't the Queen at all, it was an evil ghost! She used the name of running an academy to make us poor girls become playthings for others in exchange for her own interests!"
Tingting screamed almost with all her might, and the tearing sound was full of despair.
"I was sold for 1,500 taels of silver last night. I no longer have the dignity to live in this world. Before I die, I want to expose the Queen's ugly face to everyone. She is not a human being. She is not a human being at all!"
As Tingting spoke, she suddenly tore open the collar of her clothes. Even though they were some distance away, the people below could still vaguely see the mottled marks on her body.
There were gasps in the crowd; they couldn't believe that the Queen would do such a thing!
“This, this…”
The ministers who came with him were so surprised that they were speechless. If this was true, the capital would be in an uproar!
"Tingting, are you mistaken? How could the Queen do such a thing?"
"Yes, Tingting, don't slander the queen."
Seeing that those people were unwilling to believe her, Tingting laughed sadly and said, "I am willing to die to prove my integrity!" After saying that, she jumped towards the observatory without hesitation.
"ah!"
The people below screamed in fear. Falling from such a high place would surely lead to death!
Just as the person was about to fall to the ground, at this critical moment, a figure quickly rushed out from the darkness and accurately caught Tingting who was about to fall to the ground.
The high-speed fall caused Tingting to lose consciousness and she fainted!
"Tingting!" Tingting's parents shouted and rushed over. They felt even more desperate when they saw the bruises on her body.
"Silly child, why are you so stupid!"
Su Ying gathered her clothes and signaled Zhou Qing to send the person back to the school building first and let the female doctor take a look.
"My Queen, what is going on?"
Several cabinet ministers walked out of the crowd with grim faces. Some of them had disliked Su Ying's behavior before and thought she was too arrogant. Now this matter was of great importance, and even if Su Ying was more arrogant, she could not be allowed to act rashly.
"I also want to know who dares to attack my students!" Su Ying swept her solemn eyes across everyone's faces.
At this time, a servant ran over in a panic and said in a trembling voice: "Madam, Madam, Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang hanged himself in the school building!"
"What, Mr. Fang hanged himself?"
"Oh my god, this, this..."
Su Ying narrowed her eyes. She was silenced. The other party acted really quickly.
"I, I found this in Mr. Fang's room."
The servant took out a letter from his hand.
The cabinet minister took the letter first, opened it and read it quickly.
After seeing this, the faces of several ministers became extremely ugly. "The Queen should give us a reasonable explanation."
Su Ying didn't even need to read the content of the letter to know that the letter was written to incriminate her, to incriminate how she used these female students to win over the ministers of the court!
Bai Shuang picked up the letter and scanned it, almost cursing in anger, "This is complete nonsense, Your Majesty would never do such a thing, this is clearly someone slandering Your Majesty, what a calculated scheme, now there is no evidence, they can still throw dirty water on Your Majesty however they want!"
However, the cabinet ministers felt that this matter was closely related to Su Ying. She was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Su Yulun was a scheming person, so it was possible that he would think of such a shameless method!
