Xiao Cunyu also accepted her fate. As she collected more and more ghosts and evil spirits, she gradually began to understand the reasons.
She was a person who deserved to die. If she could truly gain endless life span, wouldn't that be almost the same as eternal life? So, for the sake of balance, the way of heaven would force her to reveal the secrets.
After realizing that he had a mortal constitution that could not sustain his life, Xiao Cunyu relaxed instead and stopped pushing himself so hard. He truly enjoyed the pleasures of life, eating, drinking, having fun, and making money.
He also met many talented and promising children from poor families, and introduced them all to Wanjun Academy.
However, Wanjun Academy is not short of students now.
After Ying Huaiji ascended the throne, he respected Su Shanzhang very much and put him on the same level as the three major academies. His intention to honor him was very obvious. Especially after Su Shanzhang fell ill, Ying Huaiji sent imperial doctors to treat him one after another. Even Lin Gong directly replaced Su Shanzhang to temporarily manage the academy. For a time, many students rushed to Wanjun Academy.
It’s a pity that Shanzhang Su had consumed too much energy over the years. Only two years after Xiao Cunyu left the capital, Shanzhang Su passed away.
Before his death, Principal Su left a letter confirming Xiao Cunyu's position as the principal. Even though many people did not understand, it did not change his mind. He even paved the way for Xiao Cunyu when he knew that she could not return to Beijing.
At that time, Xiao Cunyu was at the border. When she received the letter, Shanzhang Su had already been buried. Separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, Xiao Cunyu was moved for a long time. However, the ghost of the old Shanzhang soon appeared beside her after passing through mountains and rivers, and she chatted with him for a long time.
The old man was a little confused at first, but after his death, he finally understood Xiao Cunyu completely.
He was free from all worries and soon went to Soul Mountain for reincarnation.
In the fifth year of Dingyuan, the world was at peace.
Emperor Dingyuan encountered a lot of resistance when implementing the new policies, but the new emperor issued orders in an overbearing and decisive manner. Although there were opinions in the court, they could not resist the emperor. Moreover, many of the new policies were indeed beneficial to the people. Emperor Dingyuan was supported by the people and his position was stable and no one could shake him.
"Lord Xiao, isn't it time for you to persuade the Emperor to appoint a queen? He already appointed a Crown Princess when he was still the Crown Prince, and now, five years after ascending the throne, the harem is as good as nothing... Without a crown prince, Dafeng has no foundation. How can this not make me anxious!"
Countless times, ministers came to the Xiao family to persuade them.
Uncle Xiao said innocently: "I really tried to persuade him! But His Majesty said he was in poor health..."
"Nonsense! It's clearly written in the medical records of the Imperial Hospital that Your Majesty is in good health. As long as he is willing to marry, he will surely have many children!" "..." Uncle Xiao took a sip of tea awkwardly.
"Then tell me, where is your niece? The late emperor's marriage decree is no joke. As your majesty's fiancée, how can she stay away from home with no idea when she will return? You have no say in the matter of your majesty taking a concubine, but you have to take responsibility for this matter!" The minister who came was also anxious.
Uncle Xiao also looked somewhat innocent: "This... I really don't know..."
His niece moved to a different place every once in a while. Even if the Xiao family could check, they couldn't report her location at any time. With such a long distance between them, the information was bound to be wrong...
The minister was very angry.
However, before he could react, he received new news.
"Sir, His Majesty has just issued an oral decree, ordering all children between the ages of five and ten from the royal family to temporarily reside in the palace!"
When the news came out, even the teacup in Uncle Xiao's hand shook.
Why let the royal family's children enter the palace?!
There is no other explanation, Your Majesty wants to adopt!
