"Teacher Zhao, are you looking for me?" Han Xin came to the office and asked respectfully.
"Sit down, don't be nervous." Zhao Wen put down the lesson plan book in his hand and looked at Han Xin gently.
Seeing Han Xin sitting down, Zhao Wen didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. "You've been in the Zhao Mansion for a few days. How are you doing in school? Are you having trouble adapting?"
Han Xin said seriously, "I'm fine. The school is great and my classmates are very friendly to me."
"I'm glad you like it. I know you're not focused on studying. I called you here just to chat with you and see what your plans are for the future." Zhao Wen smiled. Although this kid was serious in class, he could see that his mind was not on studying.
Han Xin was silent for a while. He was not really a child anymore. He had grown up and had seen a lot of human nature. Naturally, it was impossible for him to play with that group of children with peace of mind.
"Don't worry, we won't do anything bad to you." Seeing the wariness in Han Xin's eyes, Zhao Wen said gently.
"What exactly do you want to do by bringing me here?" After observing for the past few days, he found that the people in this mansion were very respectful to Teacher Zhao. It was obvious that he had a very high status.
"You'll know when the young lady comes back, young man. Be more patient."
Han Xin's mouth twitched. This Teacher Zhao didn't look much older than him, but he spoke in such an old-fashioned manner.
The two chatted in the office for a long time. When they came out, Han Xin became more serious in class, and Zhao Wen would give him individual tutoring.
......
Ying Zheng once again called his sons over and conducted a serious examination.
As expected, Hu Hai couldn't answer anything again.
"Your Majesty, I have been feeling a little unwell these days, so I have forgotten what I read before. I will read it dozens of times when I get back." Hu Hai promised hurriedly.
Ying Zheng's face was cold, with disappointment clearly visible in his eyes. "Zhao Gao, is this how you taught Hu Hai?"
"I am guilty, Your Majesty, please punish me." Zhao Gao was smart and quickly admitted his mistake and took all the responsibility.
His Majesty has been acting a little strange these past few days, especially today. The way he looked at me seemed to be torturing me, so it’s better not to offend His Majesty.
"Since you are incapable of teaching Hu Hai well, you are no longer Hu Hai's teacher from today on." Ying Zheng said coldly.
The interrogation results for those alchemists should be out by now, and Dun Ruo should be almost finished as well. Once the results come out, they will be punished together.
"Hu Hai will be confined to Ganquan Palace to reflect on his mistakes from now on." He has not yet figured out how to deal with this youngest son.
After all, he was his youngest son whom he had loved for more than ten years. Although he was very angry about what Zhao Qingrui said, he was still his son.
The other princes looked at each other in confusion. What had happened to their father? Didn't their father love Hu Hai the most? Why did he suddenly confine Hu Hai?
In the past, Hu Hai couldn't answer the questions, so he would basically just make a few jokes and his father would let him go.
Gongzi Gao and Hu Hai were not on good terms. When he saw that Hu Hai was under house arrest, a look of gloating flashed across his eyes.
This kid, only Fusu really thinks he is naughty.
No one stood up to plead for Hu Hai, and Hu Hai was shocked. "Father, I know I was wrong. Please don't restrict my feet."
How can I play when I'm under house arrest? What happened to my father today? He was also confused.
Ying Zheng didn't even look at him and directly asked the guards to take him back to Ganquan Palace.
He was extremely disappointed with Hu Hai, but when he looked at his other sons, he found that at least they were not as stupid as Hu Hai, and his disappointment subsided a little.
After showing some concern for his other sons, Ying Zheng let them go back.
Most of his sons have started families, and he has assigned them respective positions, so it is impossible for them to chat with him in Wangyi Palace.
After his sons left, Ying Zheng stood alone in Wangyi Palace for a long time, then issued an order to call back Fusu, who was supervising the army in Shangjun.
After all, Fusu was his chosen successor. If something really happened to him, Fusu in Xianyang would be able to stabilize the situation.
When he thought of what Zhao Qingrui said, his heart trembled.
He was indeed preparing for his fifth tour, but he never told anyone about this. There was also the matter of Xu Fu, who had once mentioned to him that he wanted to go out to sea in search of immortals.
After sending The Exploitation of the Works of Nature to Gongshu Xue, Zhao Qingrui's points also increased rapidly.
The things refreshed the next day were useless, so Zhao Qingrui took a quick look at them and didn’t look at them any further.
Dad went out again, and she got up early on purpose. Dad got up even earlier than her. Zhao Qingrui had a headache. She suspected that her father was deliberately avoiding her.
She just wanted to take care of the family business. She was worried about her father being so busy.
"Butler, do you know where my father is? I'll go see him." After breakfast, Zhao Qingrui called the busy butler over.
"Well, I don't know where the master went. Xianyang is so big, there are so many shops." The housekeeper felt nervous.
Zhao Qingrui frowned, "You don't know either?"
"Yes."
"Tell me in detail what shops my family has." Zhao Qingrui didn't want her father to be so busy. She had already made plans. She had a lot of capable people at her disposal. When the time comes, she will send some people to take over the family business to prevent her father from being so busy.
Starting from next year, Xianyang may not be peaceful anymore, so it is better to leave this troubled place as soon as possible.
"I don't know about this either. All matters concerning the master are handled by Steward Meng." The steward pushed the matter onto Meng Yi. He didn't dare to say anything in front of Zhao Qingrui.
Zhao Qingrui was even more speechless. What on earth was going on with his father? The housekeeper was considered a trustworthy person, but he didn't know anything?
Zhao Qingrui's eyes were dead, "Then what do you know?"
"The master doesn't allow us to ask anything, so we don't know anything. Miss, please don't make things difficult for us." The butler said in embarrassment.
Zhao Qingrui wanted to roll her eyes. Was asking about her family's affairs such a problem? If he knew nothing, what was the point of asking him?
After the housekeeper left, Zhao Qingrui sat in the courtyard with his head propped up, and the book in his hand had not been opened for a long time.
The situation at home was very abnormal, and Zhao Qingrui's thoughts drifted away.
Dad didn't let her know anything, and the housekeeper didn't look like someone who knew nothing. There must be something going on.
Moreover, when Gongshu Xue and the others came to our house two days ago, they were very reserved when they saw my father. They must have known my father.
When she went to Gongshu's house yesterday, she also asked about it, but Gongshu Xue changed the subject and said nothing.
Zhao Qingrui touched his chin. His last name was Zhao, so he couldn’t be the remnant of the Six Kingdoms.
That’s not right. If they were really the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, my father would not dare to be so arrogant and hang around under the nose of the First Emperor.
I thought about all the famous people with the surname Zhao in this era, but it seemed that there were none.
Chunxi came running in from outside, "Miss, Young Master Sheng has come to Xianyang to look for you."
