In just a few breaths, Emperor Qixuan was sweating profusely.
His mind flashed back to the time when he was in school, his teacher was lecturing in front while he was secretly playing with the Luban lock under the desk.
The pain from the dragon-headed cane hitting my back seemed to still linger in my body.
"Your Majesty, this thing..."
Emperor Qixuan felt a sudden tightness on his back and prepared to dodge.
"Ru, how?"
Old Master Zhou took a few steps forward, holding up the game console, "How do I use this?"
Hearing this, Emperor Qixuan breathed a sigh of relief. He took the game console and demonstrated it to him.
After a stick of incense had passed, Old Tutor Zhou walked out of the imperial study with a satisfied look on his face, holding the game console.
"This thing is very interesting. I will take it back and give it to my wife to relieve her boredom. I will return it to Your Majesty in a few days!"
Looking at his back, Emperor Qixuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
You said you were trying to entertain the teacher's wife, but it's obvious that you just wanted to have fun, right?
This old naughty boy.
Never mind, as long as the old tutor doesn’t want to leave the capital.
…
Luozhou City.
In just half a day, groups of people could be seen gathered in the inns and restaurants in the city, discussing what happened last night.
At a wonton stall in the south of the city near the city gate.
A middle-aged man took a sip of soup, but it was too hot. He pushed it aside, ready to let it dry. He whispered to the people around him, "Have you heard? Last night, Governor Han sent troops to surround the residence of the prince and princess!"
As soon as these words came out, diners who were scattered in groups of three or four at various tables came to his table with their bowls and stools.
They were far from the government office, and there were no famous restaurants or shops nearby. Few people came, so news naturally spread slowly.
Whenever something big happens in the city, they in the south are often the last to know.
"I'm not sure about that, but the government office was bustling for quite a while this morning. It's a pity that I didn't catch up."
As he spoke, a sturdy man shook his head with regret.
The middle-aged man who spoke first looked around at everyone mysteriously.
"The Second Prince was assassinated on the street yesterday, and the Han family sent soldiers to surround the Second Prince's residence at night. Think about it, what does this mean?"
The sturdy man looked thoughtful, "Could it be?"
“That’s right!”
The middle-aged man clapped his hands suddenly, "The assassin must have hidden in the Second Prince's residence!"
"cut!"
"I thought it was some big secret!"
"that is!"
The diners surrounding the middle-aged man returned to their original seats with their bowls and stools.
Come in a hurry and go in a hurry.
At this time, a young man in a dark blue robe came over, waved his fan, and shouted to the owner of the wonton stall.
"Boss, give me a bowl of pork and green onion stuffing, a big bowl!"
"Okay!"
The boss had been wrapping wontons with his head down. When he heard the sound, he responded, quickly squeezed the half-wrapped wontons in his hand, then deftly filled a large bowl with them and ran to the pot to put the wontons in.
The young man observed the diners for a while, then slowly spoke.
“As you all know, the Han family has been arrested and will be sentenced to death in three days!”
"What?!"
Hearing this, the diners dragged their stools and gathered around him again.
"Really?! That's the Han family! Who is so powerful? Could it be the second prince?"
The young man fanned himself slowly.
"He is no longer a governor, but a prisoner on death row. A new governor has arrived in Luozhou City, his surname is Xu."
"happy!"
I don't know who shouted this, and then everyone echoed it.
“Yes, the Han family deserves it!”
"It should have been done long ago!"
…
The wonton stall owner was even more delighted.
My brother was depressed for a long time because of this.
Now I have finally gotten rid of this bad temper! Thinking of this, he waved his hand and shouted to everyone.
"Dear guests, please eat as much as you want. It's my treat today, no charge!"
…
Bamboo Cloud Residence.
Because she slept too late the night before, Chu Yaoyao slept until the afternoon.
The big eyes under his eyelids turned, he stretched, and Chu Yaoyao slowly opened his eyes.
System: I have good news for the host. After your brother and his team conducted an all-night investigation and interrogation, the Han family's case has been solved. Three days later, the Han family father and son were beheaded in public. The rest of the officials involved in the case were demoted, dismissed, or beheaded. They all received the punishment they deserved.
Chu Yaoyao grinned happily.
【very nice!】
Another treacherous minister has been eliminated!
System: There is something even better. Your father has decided to postpone the next spring examination and hold an extra exam before that.
Chu Yaoyao sat up suddenly.
[Then we must quickly tell Fang Chengqing the good news! ]
Ah Shi, who was outside the door, heard the noise and knocked on the door twice.
"Little princess, do you want to wash up?"
"good!"
Chu Yaoyao took the time to respond. She was looking through the message Ruan Nuo sent her.
In their world, there has been progress in mecha research, but they don't understand many of the interstellar weapons that were previously traded, so they want me to help trade some learning materials.
I also prepared some weapons for her, as well as the fruits she specifically requested.
After reading the message, her big black eyes turned into two slits due to smiling.
[Not bad, not bad, with fruits, you can exchange for more points! ]
I was thinking happily in my heart, and my hands kept moving to reply to messages.
Finally, she habitually glanced at the task progress.
Not dropped!
Happy! Thinking of the progress, Chu Yaoyao suddenly came back to his senses.
[Is your system malfunctioning? Have you performed self-repairs in a timely manner?]
[After punishing the Han family, you won't give me any progress? ]
System: The judgment is correct. The existence of the Han family is not even as harmful to the Daqi and Chu families as Li Yan was back then.
Hearing this, Chu Yaoyao puffed up her cheeks in frustration.
【All right.】
After cleaning up, she ate a boiled egg and a small bowl of soft and fragrant shredded chicken congee.
Then he took small steps and strolled to the yard where the Fang family's grandparents and grandchildren lived.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Aunt Li busy packing her luggage.
"Where are we going?"
Hearing her voice, the Fang family's grandparents and grandchildren hurriedly saluted.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Then the equation was explained.
"The Han family has been punished and their vengeance has been avenged. How can my grandmother and I continue to trouble the two princes? We are going back to the village."
"So what are your plans for the future?"
Looking at her big dark eyes, Fang Chengqing felt an inexplicable sense of disconnection.
Although she is just a little kid, she gives people the feeling that she is communicating with people of the same age.
He shook his head slightly, secretly cursing himself for being so deep-minded that he found problems in everyone he looked at.
The princess was born into a royal family and was influenced by it. I was really overthinking it.
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that he was in a daze, Chu Yaoyao puffed out her cheeks and waved her hand in front of him.
Fang Chengqing came back to his senses, with a confident smile on his face and bright eyes, completely different from the depressed and lifeless look when they first met.
High-spirited.
"First, I will recover from my injuries, then continue to review my studies, take care of my grandma, and then continue to participate in the scientific examination in three years!"
