All in all, Wen Ye stayed.
The remaining remnants of the rebel king were all arrested.
Xu Yuejia handed over the task of escorting the rebellious king's party to the hurriedly arrived Jingzhao Yin Wang, and he stayed to assist Prefect Zhuo to deal with the rest of the matters.
The leader of the rebellious king's remnant who was captured in Lancheng was one of the guards who escaped from the rebellious king's mansion. Over the years, the rebellious king's remnant who were lucky enough to survive all obeyed his secret orders and waited for the opportunity.
After waiting for a long time until the news was not so serious, he sent the shopkeeper Zou to run a Caiyunzhai in Shengjing, and he spent a lot of effort to make the princess of the time like the cakes of Caiyunzhai.
Miraculous drugs are hard to come by, and he originally wanted to use them to control some officials. However, when the plan had just begun to be implemented, it was disrupted by a sudden murder case.
As a last resort, Zou the shopkeeper died, while the instigator was only sentenced to exile.
In order to appease the people under the shopkeeper Zou, an exile named Xu Muzhi who had "accidentally" died in Minzhou, the place of exile, not long ago.
Lancheng is their last stronghold. After they reopened the Cloud Tower, they have been very cautious. This time they are targeting the students of the academy.
For comparison, they only need to add Shaoxing's addictive drug to special dishes, and if the food tastes decent, they can attract a large number of students.
It saves a lot of trouble compared to opening a pastry shop.
Abducting King Wen was a temporary measure, and being accidentally spotted by people from the Duke's Mansion was an unexpected event.
Originally, they wanted to arrest them all, but they didn't expect Wen Ye to move into the government office with a whole courtyard of people. They were disappointed and in a rage, they took out their anger on King Wen.
According to one of the small leaders, King Wen made no sound except when he cried out in pain when he was kicked and beaten. He looked like a piece of soft bone, but he was a tough nut to crack when kicked.
It was not suitable for King Wen to be moved yet, so Prefect Zhuo prepared a clean yard for him to recuperate. His bodyguard, who was also seriously injured, also lived there.
Lord Wang came to visit before leaving and asked about the emperor's condition. The emperor and Concubine Shu were still waiting for the exact news about King Wen.
After seeing King Wen, Xu Yuejia handed him the memorial he had written and said, "My nephew, please take care of me.
Lord Wang said quickly: "No, I will escort the young master back to the Duke's Mansion safely."
Not far away, Xu Jingrong was reluctant to leave and said, "Second Aunt, why don't you come back with me?"
Wen Ye said seriously: "This is not you
My second uncle still has official duties to attend to, so if I stay here, I can take care of him to some extent."
"You are the person my sister-in-law is most worried about."
After the incident at Yunzhilou, so many days had passed and the news had already reached Shengjing. Lu must have been unable to sleep or eat these days. Only by packing up and sending Xu Jingrong back could she relieve most of her anxiety.
Xu Jingrong knew that he had to go home, but he always had the illusion that he was being chased away by his uncle and aunt. No matter what Xu Jingrong thought, Wen Ye finally stuffed him into the team that Lord Wang was escorting prisoners with.
The escort team gradually went away. Wen Ye retracted his gaze and turned to Xu Yuejia. He saw another deep and shallow mark under his collar. He couldn't help laughing and said, "King Wen splashed tea all over you again."
Xu Yuejia looked at her in silence.
Wen Ye said, "Well, who says he is a prince? My dear, just bear with it for now." All middle school boys are like this, and he is a prince. If he is seen crying, he will inevitably be ashamed and angry for a few days.

Lord Wang, the Jingzhao Yin, hurried along with the prisoners and finally entered Shengjing at 15:00. After putting the prisoners in the Tianlao, Lord Wang only had time to drink a sip of cold tea before he hurried back to the palace.
The emperor had been waiting for a long time. Even the empress dowager, who usually stayed in Shoukang Palace to worship Buddha and not care about worldly affairs, came with Concubine Shu. There were also several doctors standing beside them.
The emperor exempted him from the ceremony and asked, "Why didn't King Wen return to the capital with us?"
Lord Wang replied: "Your Majesty, the prince needs to rest for a few more days before he can leave."
After hearing this, Concubine Shu asked immediately: "Is it because of a broken arm, a broken leg, or something else that makes him unable to move?" Lord Wang: "... Your Majesty, it's not that serious. Most of the injuries on the prince's body are superficial, and his hands and feet are still there." Concubine Shu was still worried and asked again: "Lord Wang, have you seen the prince's injuries with your own eyes? They are indeed not serious." She now has a lot of sons and daughters-in-law, but no grandchildren.
Lord Wang pondered for a moment and replied cautiously: "I have seen it, and I happened to see you serving tea to thank Lord Xu." After he said this, Concubine Shu's worry turned into shock.
There was obvious disbelief in her tone: "You mean my son and the second master of the Xu family are here to express their gratitude?"
Lord Wang responded nervously.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu fell completely silent.
The Queen Mother put aside her worries and sighed: "It seems that Chen'er has become more sensible after this experience.
few."
The emperor thought for a moment, looked at the ministers again, smiled and said: "I don't believe you mean serving tea to express gratitude. If you mean pouring tea to express gratitude, it does sound like something he would do."
Lord Wang looked embarrassed and wanted to cover up for King Wen.
When the emperor saw this, he knew that his guess was correct. Concubine Shu also reacted at this time. It was obvious that the person the emperor was describing was more like her son.
He still had the energy to splash tea all over people, so he must not be seriously injured. The emperor and the empress dowager also thought so.
Since King Wen was fine, the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu did not plan to stay any longer, so as not to delay the Emperor's handling of government affairs. After finding out King Wen's injury, the Emperor turned his attention back to the remnants of the rebellious King. Lord Wang presented Xu Yuejia's memorial and carefully recounted everything that happened in Lancheng.
The emperor was slightly surprised and said: "So, those rebellious princes and their followers have been defeated by Xu Qing's wife again."
Lord Wang nodded: "If Madam Xu hadn't discovered it, Yunzhilou would not have been exposed so easily, and Lord Xu and I would not have been able to find out where the prince was imprisoned so quickly."
Xu Yuejia's wife had made great contributions, so naturally she should receive a reward.
The emperor suddenly remembered that one of Changle's current study partners was Madam Xu Yuejia's younger sister. This younger sister was good at studying, so the older sister should not be much worse.
Lancheng.
After the rebellious prince's remnant was escorted to the capital, Prefect Zhuo took the initiative to take over the remaining matters. He had no idea that there were such a group of people hiding in the city. The emperor was very lenient by not issuing an edict to blame him.
All he wants now is to make amends as soon as possible.
With Prefect Zhuo's help, Xu Yuejia was left with only the temporary supervision of the renovation of the canteen of Songshan Academy and escorting Prince Wen back to the capital two days later.
King Wen was still lying in bed. The most important thing at the moment was to go to Songshan Academy and meet President Xu.
The incident at Yunzhilou had a significant impact on the academy. After all, it was not an ordinary family that could send their children to study there. If Songshan Academy had not been established by the Xu family, those families would have already come to the academy to make trouble.
Wen Ye naturally followed. There were no students in the academy now, so she was indirectly helping the academy this time. It was easy for her to come in and take a look.
On the way there, she did not forget to ask: "By the way, my dear, have you ever eaten at the cafeteria of Songshan Academy?"
Xu Yuejia: "I have eaten it."
Wen Ye asked again: "How does it taste?"
Xu Yuejia said sincerely: "You won't like it."...
When Wen Ye and Xu Yuejia arrived at the academy, Dean Xu was already waiting at the door, accompanied by his wife. There was also Xu Baili, who smiled at the two of them and said, "My brother and his wife are here."
Dean Xu heard his cousin's familiar nonsense and said helplessly: "Bai Li's temper, I hope Master Xu and Madam Xu will bear with it." Xu Yuejia: "No problem."
Wen Ye added, "We are all used to it." Dean Xu glared at Xu Baili, signaling him to speak less. Then he raised his hand to invite him in.
Songshan Academy was built on a mountain, and its library was divided into two parts, one in the north and one in the south. Dean Xu personally took the two of them to visit the academy.
Wen Ye walked beside the dean's wife and heard her say, "Thanks to you, Madam Xu, this time. Otherwise, I don't know how long the students in the academy would have been drugged."
Wen Ye said modestly, "It's just a coincidence."
Xu Baili paused in fanning himself and interrupted, "I've mentioned changing the chef to my cousin a long time ago, but he just wouldn't listen. He insisted that the ancients said, 'When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, and his body hungry.' He just wanted to fill his stomach with food."
Dean Xu, who was walking in front, said: "…" We shouldn't have agreed to let him stay here.
The dean's wife tried to smooth things over, saying, "Don't listen to his nonsense. It's not that serious."
Xu Baili closed his fan and said, "Those chefs have not been dismissed yet. You will know after you try them later."
To be honest, he hadn't eaten in the college cafeteria for more than 20 years. He didn't know if he had made any progress over the years.
Wen Ye looked at the dean's wife and smiled, "I'd really like to give it a try."
The dean's wife sighed, "It's not bad, but I'm afraid you won't be used to it." After touring the academy, it was time for lunch. The canteen of Songshan Academy implemented a separate dining system, so you only need to eat as much as you want, so there is no waste.
Dean Xu had been frugal all his life, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with inviting Xu Yuejia and Wen Ye to eat in the cafeteria. He just couldn't stand Xu Baili's constant slandering of the academy cafeteria in front of outsiders.
Wen Ye ordered a bowl of noodles and two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, which looked like they wouldn't be bad. She looked at the wooden tray on the dining table and had the illusion of returning to modern times.
Xu Yuejia took a spoon and chopsticks for her. Wen Ye looked at the tray in front of him and saw only half a bowl of rice and a plate of
Green vegetables, and asked: "Just eat these"
Xu Yuejia hummed and said frankly: "That's enough."
After everyone sat down, Wen Ye took the chopsticks from Xu Yuejia and took a mouthful of noodles. The dean's wife passed by and said, "The food here is a little bland, but it tastes good." Wen Ye had a hard time swallowing the noodles in her mouth, and Xu Yuejia handed her a glass of warm water in time. She drank two glasses in a row.
"It's okay." She said vaguely.
The chicken noodle soup smelled delicious, but it tasted like a lingering fishy smell. It wasn't the smell of chicken, but it seemed like some grass was added to it. She tried to cover up her sexual desire by taking a bite of the meat and chewing for a long time, but it didn't move.
I couldn't taste the meat, but it felt like I was chewing a twig, which was bitter and hard.
Wen Ye quietly spit it out, only to find that it was not meat, but some kind of herbal medicine that was dried and cut into slices and stewed with the meat. She finally understood why the dean's wife said that she might not be able to get used to it. Wen Ye did not give up, and turned her chopsticks to the bowl of vegetarian dishes, which seemed to be stir-fried kidney beans.
You can’t add it to vegetarian dishes.
Xu Yuejia suddenly said at this moment: "Wait a minute." Wen Ye stopped and looked up: "What are you waiting for?"
Xu Yuejia motioned her to look diagonally across the table. Xu Baili ordered another bowl of stir-fried kidney beans and said, "This is the only dish that's OK today." When Wen Ye heard this, she was glad that she also ordered stir-fried kidney beans.
She was just about to take a bite when Xu Baili suddenly cried out "ouch!" and said in pain, holding his stomach: "Are these kidney beans not cooked enough again?"
His shout scared Dean Xu and his wife, and they immediately sent someone to call a doctor.
At the same time, he skillfully helped him drink water to induce vomiting. Wen Ye looked at this scene and swallowed hard.
This is not a question of whether it tastes bad or not, it is clearly a random selection of the 'lucky ones'. Wen Ye lowered her eyes and looked at Xu Yuejia's plate, full of admiration: "My dear husband is still far-sighted." Xu Yuejia glanced at her: "So, I can finish it." Wen Ye shook her head honestly.
Xu Yuejia then swapped Wen Ye's meal with hers and said, "I didn't touch the rice, but the stir-fried vegetables are OK."
Wen Ye: "………"
So this is what he meant when he said 'enough'.
