King Xuanping?
It took Yuan Yao a while to realize that she had heard about Prince Xuanping in the dark room that day.
The wet nurse who failed to kill her on the day she woke up was from the Xuanping Prince's mansion...
Yuan Yao was startled: "Why did Prince Xuanping suddenly rebel?"
How come she didn't hear a thing?
Moreover, until she entered the National Academy, she had never heard of her father seeking redress...
Will something happen to Father?
The more Yuan Yao thought about it, the more alarmed she became.
Seeing this, Xie Zhi smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry too much... Although the Ninth Prince has some grudges with Prince Xuanping, he knows his limits and won't let himself get hurt."
Yuan Yao opened her mouth, wanting to ask what grudge the two had.
Suddenly, Lin Xuan scoffed from the side, "That sickly Prince Xuanping, what great things can he accomplish? He's so old and still wants to rebel, he's simply insane!"
Yuan Yao puffed out her cheeks: "So, you all knew?"
With Danqing gone, she couldn't receive any messages, and this feeling was truly unbearable!
no!
We must find a way to get Danqing back!
Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan were bickering, while Yuan Yao lay on the desk, starting to plan how to get Danqing back.
Suddenly, a wad of paper hit her on the head.
Yuan Yao: "?"
She turned her head and looked behind her with an unfriendly expression.
Immediately, many little kids shrank back.
Jiang Chengyan sat upright, holding a pen in his hand, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
It wasn't him?
Yuan Yao was puzzled and bent down to pick up the crumpled paper.
At this moment, Feng Xun said helplessly, "Cheng Yan, don't bully the princess."
"It really is you!" Yuan Yao glared at Jiang Chengyan angrily.
This brat is so annoying!
Jiang Chengyan said calmly, "Sit properly, don't be like a spineless person."
As he spoke, he crumpled up two more pieces of paper and threw them at Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan.
Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan turned around simultaneously: "Who?"
"It's him!"
Yuan Yao reached out and pointed at Jiang Chengyan.
Let's fight!
These three naughty kids!
Someone has to cry before things can end properly.
Lin Xuan glared fiercely at Jiang Chengyan and asked Xie Zhi, "Did you hear any strange noises?"
"Is there?" Xie Zhi grabbed a blade of grass from the desk and put it in his mouth.
Lin Xuan frowned: "Yes!"
Xie Zhi tilted his head, his ears twitching: "It's the sound of swords."
Swords?
Jiang Chengyan slammed his hand on the desk and shouted, "Be quiet!"
In an instant, the entire classroom fell silent except for the sound of the wind rustling through the pages.
Yuan Yao also stood up, curiously pricking up her ears.
A series of sounds of swords clashing and fighting approached from afar.
Someone was crying out, "The rebels have stormed the National Academy! Run!"
What? ? ?
Have the rebels broken in?
Yuan Yao's pupils suddenly contracted.
how so?
Didn't Father lead troops to quell the rebellion?
Could it be... that something happened to him?
Just as Yuan Yao was lost in thought, the timid children in the school burst into tears.
Xie Zhi had practiced martial arts for many years, so he immediately went to the door and picked up a handy wooden stick.
"Xie Zhi..." Yuan Yao called out to him.
My eyes are a little sore...
Xie Zhi grinned at her: "Little Yao'er, be good and don't run around."
Seeing this, Lin Xuan asked sternly, "Xie Zhi, where are you going?"
Xie Zhi, with a blade of grass in his mouth, said, "Fight. Draw them away, don't let them come this way."
"Are you going alone? Are you looking for death?" Lin Xuan stood up and glared at him fiercely. "I'm going with you!"
Xie Zhi smiled.
Lin Xuan kicked the desk aside, strode over to the teacher's desk, and picked up a long and wide ruler.
The two stood at the school gate, and Xie Zhi turned around: "Second Prince, I'm entrusting Xiao Yao'er to you."
Lin Xuan also looked over and said fiercely, "Protect her!"
After speaking, the two left the school.
“You…” Jiang Chengyan was furious and glanced at Feng Xun.
Although Feng Xun was young, she was not flustered. Instead, she nodded gently to him and said, "I will stay with you to protect the princess. Don't worry, I won't wander off."
Jiang Chengyan pursed his lips: "But, none of us know martial arts..."
Yuan Yao finally came to her senses.
She looked at the two of them: "Don't you... have any bodyguards or anything like that?"
They're all princes, people of immense status, yet they don't even deserve a bodyguard?
Feng Xun and Jiang Chengyan exchanged a glance and shook their heads.
We're doomed!
Yuan Yao frowned: "Where is His Highness the Crown Prince? Does His Highness always come and go alone?"
If the Crown Prince has guards, along with Canfeng, there shouldn't be too much of a problem protecting the children of the National Academy, right?
Upon hearing Yuan Yao mention the Crown Prince, Jiang Chengyan said unhappily, "How would I know about other people's affairs?"
Yuan Yao: "..."
That's all.
She should have known long ago that Jiang Chengyan disliked the Crown Prince.
Yuan Yao glanced at the school full of little kids, climbed onto the desk, and shouted, "Stop crying! All of you shut up!"
Her words had little deterrent effect.
A few of the more timid ones were still huddled there, wailing and crying very sadly.
Yuan Yao frowned and raised her voice: "Are you crying so loudly because you're afraid the rebels won't be able to find this place?"
Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan risked their lives to draw away the rebels for us. Do you want to hold them back and kill them?
"If you don't shut up, we'll all be killed in no time if the rebels find the school!"
Startled by her words, the group of people who were crying loudly covered their mouths in fright.
Yuan Yao was standing on the desk, looking around, when she saw a figure in blue rushing towards her.
Master?
The teacher, carrying his robes and panting, rushed into the school and shouted, "Quick! Come with me!"
Upon seeing the teacher, the little ones seemed to have found their pillar of support, wailing, "Teacher, save us..."
The teacher, his face flushed and breathless, ran and said, "Hurry up, stop crying, come with me!"
A group of little kids cried loudly and got up from their seats.
"Wait a minute!" Yuan Yao stood on the desk, looking at the teacher.
The teacher wiped his sweat: "Princess, what's wrong with you again? Come here quickly, I'll carry you and run."
Yuan Yao stood motionless on the desk.
She glanced outside the school and asked, "Teacher, the rebels are right outside. Where can we escape to?"
If we try to escape, wouldn't that be like walking into a trap?
The teacher hesitated for a moment, then said anxiously, "Let's escape first! The rebels have already set fire to other schools!"
Arson?
"What?" Jiang Chengyan stood up immediately. "Is anyone injured?"
The Master shook his head: "I still don't know..."
Yuan Yao finally couldn't stand it anymore, her palms sweating: "May I ask, Master, do you know how these rebels got into the National Academy?"
What's happening in the palace? Have the rebels stormed the palace gates?
Where is Father? What will happen to the people of Qianhua Palace?
And what about Yun Chan? He's been poisoned and injured. What will he do?
The Master said in a panic, "The Imperial Guards in the capital have been transferred to the Xuanping Prince's residence. The rebels suddenly stormed into the National Academy."
The Imperial Guards patrolling the National Academy... were all dead..."
Jiang Chengyan asked, "How is the situation in the capital?"
The Master shook his head: "Unknown..."
They really don't know anything when asked!
This situation is not favorable for them!
Yuan Yao opened her hands, only to find that her small palms were covered in cold sweat.
Yuan Yao pursed her lips and said, "Master, take them and find a place to hide them first!"
"And what about you?" the Master asked in astonishment.
Yuan Yao's eyebrows curved slightly, her expression calm: "I'm going to climb the tallest building in the National Academy!"
