Chapter 33: The Ancient World 32



Cui Jiu held the book "Youxue" in his hand. He had no experience in teaching and felt a little at a loss as to where to start. After thinking for a moment, he decided to follow the method he had thought of last night.

The two children are still too young, with small and chubby hands. It is a bit difficult for them to hold chopsticks, let alone a brush.

So Cui Jiu skipped the writing step and just taught the two children to read, teaching them word by word at first, and the two children followed along obediently...

But soon, the two children didn't want to continue reading and started asking a hundred thousand questions, asking why for every word.

Why is it pronounced like this? This character looks the same as the previous one, so why don't they pronounce it the same way...

As soon as Cui Jiu finished explaining the first question haltingly, more questions arose.

One against two, Cui Jiu was completely defeated.

Are all kids this difficult? He wasn't like this before, was he?

Cui Jiu recalled the past and finally felt a little guilty. When he was a kid, he seemed to be worth two people at a time.

Thinking of this, his old face turned red. Forget it, they are still children. Why should he bother with them?

However, after Qingzhu took the two children back to the yard from him, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, as he had finally sent the two little ancestors away.

Because he had just started learning calligraphy, the novelty was still there and no problems arose for the time being, but Cui Jiu felt as if his body was drained.

But when he thought that such days would continue for many more days, Cui Jiu suddenly felt that life seemed to have lost hope.

Song Sanniang didn't know about Cui Jiu's troubles, she also had some small troubles now.

The two children are taught by Cui Jiu in the morning, and she needs to spend most of the afternoon with the first and second children. Her morning time is free, but she doesn't know what she can do for the time being.

Song Sanniang thought for a long time and felt that she seemed to have forgotten something.

108 suddenly spoke at this time, "Host, Dongfang Wen has begun to act."

Song Sanniang's eyes narrowed.

After Emperor Xuan was assassinated, Song Sanniang asked the system to concentrate its attention and closely monitor Dongfang Wen.

The system had previously said that Dongfang Wen was secretly in contact with the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, and that he was the one who arranged the group of assassins. Because of this, he was able to ambush Emperor Xuan on his way back to the palace right under the noses of the Imperial Guard and successfully injure Emperor Xuan.

No, in fact, Dongfang Wen was going to take Emperor Xuan's life, but she was stopped by Eunuch Liu who was beside Emperor Xuan, and only suffered minor injuries.

As for the poison on the arrow, Imperial Physician Cui detoxified it while treating the wound for Emperor Xuan. He told Emperor Xuan about it, but Emperor Xuan asked him not to tell anyone, so he did not mention this matter to the princes and royal brothers.

So Dongfang Wen never expected that the poison he coated the arrow with for safety reasons had no effect at all.

Cui Yongan: I’m sorry, I’ve seen a lot in my life. I’ve seen this poison before.

Dongfang Wen had previously heard Imperial Physician Cui say that Emperor Xuan's injuries were no longer serious and that he only needed to recuperate for a period of time. In his opinion, this was just an excuse given by Emperor Xuan to Cui Yongan in order to conceal the fact that he had been poisoned.

Song Sanniang didn't expect that Dongfang Wen would start to force the emperor to abdicate after only waiting for a few days without seeing Emperor Xuan and without knowing his physical condition.

Song Sanniang was silent for a while. Her opponent was so stupid.

As expected in the plot, if Dongfang Rui had not faked his death and left, and if other coincidental factors had not occurred, Dongfang Wen would never have been able to reach that position.

Song Sanniang came back to her senses, walked out of the room and called out the secret guards guarding the yard, instructing them to guard the main yard from now on, and most importantly, the two children.

After hearing her words, the secret guards, probably because of what Dongfang Rui had said to them before, quickly reacted and made arrangements in an orderly manner.

After Song Sanniang confirmed that they had carried out her words, she no longer paid attention to this side.

She shared it with the system and kept an eye on Dongfang Wen's movements.

A lion uses all its strength when fighting a rabbit. Although the opponent is a bit stupid, stupid people sometimes do stupid things to hurt others.

In the picture, Dongfang Rui is listening to the report from his subordinates. They have found out that the Imperial Guards were involved in the assassination of Emperor Xuan, and the clues point directly to the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards.

Dongfang Rui was ready to order the arrest, but he was still a little hesitant because he knew that this matter involved the Royal Guards, which meant that the people behind the scenes were probably other brothers.

And he already had a suspect. He remembered that the daughter of the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard seemed to be at his sixth brother's house.

Dongfang Rui's situation was a bit complicated. Before the incident, he had a good relationship with Dongfang Wen, and he had always been close to him. Unexpectedly, after what happened, he became distant from her. Now he still wanted to...

The person most suspected now is his blood relative, and this is not something he can handle.

Dongfang Rui thought for a moment, turned around and gave an order, and a black shadow flashed past behind him.

He lowered his head and waited quietly for the result.

But soon the person behind him came back and whispered something in his ear.

A hint of confusion flashed across Dongfang Rui's eyes, but he soon realized something. He rushed towards the palace in silence.

Song Sanniang saw the sad look on her puppy's face. Although it was only for a moment, she felt a little distressed. She decided to wait until the matter was over and Dongfang Rui came back, and then she would comfort him.

Dongfang Rui arrived at Weiyang Palace very quickly. He took a look and found that all his brothers were there except Dongfang Wen.

"Third brother, you're here."

Dongfang Min probably knew something, and his expression was very serious.

Dongfang Rui nodded and stood alongside him without saying anything more.

After that, no one spoke and the atmosphere was solemn.

They didn't have to wait long. Soon, the palace door that had been closed for a long time opened in front of them. The young man stood in front of the door, bent over and said.

"His Majesty is waiting for your highnesses inside."

Dongfang Rui lowered his head. He had guessed what his father meant before, so he was not surprised now.

After Xiao Houzi and all the princes had gone in, he followed them into the palace. However, this time, the door of Weiyang Palace was still wide open and had not been closed, as if it was still waiting for someone.

When Dongfang Rui came in, he saw Emperor Xuan with a rosy face sitting in the upper seat, and he had a feeling of understanding.

As expected, the emperor's injuries were not serious at all. The rumors that the emperor was seriously injured and had been poisoned and fell into a coma in the past few days were probably spread at the behest of the emperor.

Dongfang Rui and his group saluted Emperor Xuan, but they knelt for a long time without seeing Emperor Xuan speak, and they did not dare to look up.

Just now they saw Emperor Xuan's face was grim, his icy eyes were looking outside, and the whole hall was shrouded in low pressure.

My father is in a very bad mood.

This thought flashed through everyone's mind.

Except for Dongfang Min and Dongfang Rui who were kneeling in the front, and Dongfang Jie who was slightly behind, they all knew it well.

Didn't keep them waiting too long.
