Chapter 1224 Meeting
After breakfast, the quiet Bamboo Academy began to regain its former vitality, and students came one after another to start morning classes.
Although I was confined to this room and couldn't go out, I could hear the reading outside from a distance.
The morning breeze is mixed with the fragrance of bamboo leaves, accompanied by the sound of Lang Lang reading, which makes people feel very comfortable.
While listening to the sound of reading outside, Zhu Chengxuan scooped up a spoonful of porridge that had just been delivered by the kitchen, blew on it, and then carefully brought it to Qian Xiuwen's mouth.
First use a spoon to open his lips, then pry open his teeth and pour the porridge in.
However, because Qian Xiuwen was unconscious and had no consciousness to swallow, the porridge quickly flowed down the corners of his mouth when it was fed to him, making it dirty. But Zhu Chengxuan did not dislike it at all. He hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help him wipe it, and then patiently fed him one spoonful at a time.
Li Bu Shang stood aside and looked at him for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "He can't eat at all. It's useless to feed him."
"It's not in vain."
Zhu Chengxuan patiently continued what he was doing, saying without turning his head, "He's sick, so he has to eat to regain his strength and wake up. Even though it's hard for him to eat, just one bite out of ten is enough."
As he spoke, some porridge flowed out from the corner of Qian Xiuwen's mouth, and he hurriedly wiped it away.
“…”
Li Bushang frowned slightly, and after a long silence, he said, "Aren't you a prince?"
"ah?"
Zhu Chengxuan turned and looked at him, not understanding the meaning of this sentence.
Li Bushang asked, "You were born to be a prince, then a prince, and now the Prince of Wei. You should have always lived a life of luxury. Why are you so good at taking care of others?"
Zhu Chengxuan smiled and said, "Although I was born a prince, my father was often away at war, and the Prince of Yan's Mansion was not a place of wealth and luxury, so I didn't enjoy my life very much."
“…”
"Especially later, after I started learning medicine, I often secretly went outside the Prince of Yan's Mansion to help the people with their illnesses. However, they didn't know who I was."
“…”
"Actually, I'm very good at taking care of people."
Li Bushang looked at him with a frown, his eyes showing a complicated expression.
He thought that there would not be another prince from the royal family in this world who would have such a hard life, but he never expected that—
At this moment, a soft gulp sound was heard. It was Qian Xiuwen swallowing a mouthful of porridge.
"Oh, that's great!"
Zhu Chengxuan said happily: "You see, hard work pays off. If we feed him a few more bites, he should be able to eat it. This way, he might wake up soon."
After receiving "encouragement", he became more careful and patient. It took him half a day to feed Qian Xiuwen a small bowl of porridge, but he actually ate several mouthfuls.
Just when he finished his work and was about to stand up and stretch, Jian Ruocheng walked in with a few students.
Upon seeing him, Zhu Chengxuan immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Jian."
Jian Ruocheng glanced at him.
Li Bushan had retreated to the wall again, with his arms folded, his face and eyes cold.
Jian Ruocheng asked, "How is Qian Xiuwen?"
"He just ate two mouthfuls of porridge. He's doing well and should be able to wake up soon."
"oh?"
Jian Ruocheng walked to the bedside and looked down at Qian Xiuwen's face. Perhaps it was because he had eaten something, his face was no longer as pale as yesterday due to excessive blood loss, but had a little more color.
Jian Ruocheng nodded gently.
Turning to look at him again: "Last night that -"
Zhu Chengxuan said, "Master, is there no one else in your academy? Has no one discovered what happened?"
Speaking of this, Jian Ruocheng's expression was slightly gloomy.
His brows also furrowed.
Just when the atmosphere in the room was getting a little dull, a student hurried in from outside and stood at the door and said, "Master, there's someone outside again."
"Someone's coming again?"
Jian Ruocheng frowned, as if he sensed something, and subconsciously glanced at Zhu Chengxuan, and Zhu Chengxuan's eyes lit up as he looked at him.
Jian Ruocheng asked, "Who's coming?"
The student pointed at Zhu Chengxuan and said, "It's this young master's father. He's brought the lady from yesterday and a few of their servants. They've already arrived at the academy gate."
“…”
Jian Ruocheng's breath suddenly became heavy.
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Zhu Chengxuan's face.
He didn't expect that Zhu Feng would actually come!
But the surprise was only momentary. Immediately, he thought of the trouble he had caused here, causing His Majesty the Emperor to come to an academy in person and having to face Jian Ruocheng. He was afraid that his father must be furious now, and he might even be severely punished.
Thinking of this, he felt a little uneasy again.
But Li was not hurt.
When he heard that "the lady from yesterday" was also here, he immediately put down his hands and looked outside with a little anticipation.
Jian Ruocheng was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Have all the students return to their rooms and classrooms and don't wander around. You two, go get Xia Fuxiu and the others."
The two students he was pointing at were Wang Shuxing and Sun Jia who were guarding here last night.
Upon hearing this, Wang Shuxing stepped forward and said, "Master, Xia Fuxiu is not in the academy."
"Not here?"
Jian Ruocheng frowned: "Where did he go?"
"We don't know either. We just saw him leaving the academy early in the morning after breakfast. We asked him, but he seemed very anxious and didn't answer us."
“…”
Jian Ruocheng's brows furrowed even more tightly.
He seemed to have thought of something.
But at this time, it was too late, and people had already arrived at the academy.
He took a deep breath, then turned around and said to Zhu Chengxuan and Li Bushang, "You should stay here. Wang Shuxing, Sun Jia, you should stay here too."
"yes."
"You guys, follow me out."
"yes."
Several other older students followed him out of the room, and Zhu Chengxuan couldn't help but walk to the door and look outside.
My mood gradually became agitated.
Jian Ruocheng and a few students quickly walked out of the school building, walked around several classrooms, crossed the large open space, and finally arrived at the door.
The carriage has stopped at the gate of Zhujian Academy.
As he walked out of the gate, a familiar, agile figure jumped off the carriage and landed steadily.
Then, he turned around, stretched out his hand, and took another familiar, slender figure from the carriage.
They both raised their heads and faced him head-on.
