A few days later, Zhu Youjian finished his morning court session and intended to go see Gao Qingyun again.
However, a young eunuch found the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Garden has recently been renovated. Would you like to go and take a look?"
Zhu Youjian frowned slightly.
Why did you report such a trivial matter directly to me?
It's no wonder Zhu Youjian was suspicious.
If it were the inner court of the Ming Dynasty, there would be a total of twenty-four government offices.
Apart from Zhu Youjian's energetic ancestor, who was also the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
Later emperors simply did not attend to every little detail.
Even if something happened in the harem, it would definitely be reported up the chain of command.
News of renovations to the Imperial Garden had to be reported to Wang Chengen first, and then Wang Chengen would report it to the Emperor.
The young eunuch quickly explained, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Wang seems to be very busy lately, and this servant can hardly find him."
"But this matter cannot be left unreported indefinitely, so this servant has dared to disturb Your Majesty."
"This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die."
The young eunuch knelt down and kowtowed frantically.
Zhu Youjian misunderstood these words.
"Hmph, it seems that other eunuchs have their eyes on Wang Chengen's position, so they're deliberately making trouble for him."
“Wang Chengen’s promotion of Gao Gong’s writing brush is an imperial decree.”
"In comparison, the Imperial Garden is a minor matter. He is currently unable to attend to it, so focusing his energy on Gao Gongbi is not a big deal."
"Tell me, which powerful eunuch is behind you? You weren't sent by Wei Zhongxian, were you?"
The little eunuch seemed to be startled; this time he was truly frightened.
"This servant...this servant has no one behind him."
His voice trembled, but Zhu Youjian didn't seem to notice.
"Heh, it seems you really are Wei Zhongxian's man."
"Alright, alright, I'll let you off this time. Just don't try to be clever like this again."
Zhu Youjian followed Gao Qingyun's advice and even planned to use Wei Zhongxian as a tool for murder and confiscation of property.
Naturally, I don't want to fall out with him now.
"Once all the treacherous officials in the court are dead, it won't be too late for me to deal with Wei Zhongxian."
Zhu Youjian smiled, then suddenly remembered something and said:
"Now that the Imperial Garden has been repaired, I shall go and take a look."
As he spoke, he set off for the Imperial Garden.
Before long, we came across an artificial lake.
Zhu Youjian looked around and suddenly nodded.
"This lake is quite nice. When I have time, I will have Wang Chengen build a lake for Master Gao as well."
"Alas, it's just a pity that Master Gao is blind."
He shook his head and simply went to the lakeside, having the eunuchs row over by boat.
Not long after, Gao Qingyun, who was fumbling with her lesson preparation, suddenly heard a commotion outside.
He put down his book, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Yuanyuan stood beside him, originally there to help him sharpen his pencil.
When she heard Gao Qingyun's question, she shook her head blankly: "Yuanyuan doesn't know either."
Gao Qingyun sighed.
"Of course you don't know. I'm asking you this so you can go out and ask someone!"
"Oh, what a pity about your pseudonym! It's completely different from the historical Chen Yuanyuan."
Chen Yuanyuan's face immediately fell, and she reluctantly walked out.
He muttered to himself:
"Hmph, I am Chen Yuanyuan, what do you mean by being different from others!"
But before she could actually go out, someone rushed in and almost knocked Chen Yuanyuan down.
"Ouch, how do you walk?"
Just as Chen Yuanyuan was about to curse, she saw the person who had entered quickly say to Gao Qingyun:
"Master Gao, something terrible has happened! His Majesty... Mr. Zhu has fallen into the water."
Wang Chengen looked anxious.
"It's all my fault. I never expected that such a big thing would happen while I was out picking someone up."
"And that guy surnamed Luo, he can't escape responsibility either!"
"It's just sending a few people to the palace, why does he insist that I go and pick them up!"
He stomped his foot heavily as he spoke.
"This is bad!"
Gao Qingyun was quite puzzled when she heard this.
"No, Xiao Zhu fell into the water, you should take him to the hospital right away, why are you looking for me?"
"Besides, I remember that your Dahe Village has the words 'Dahe' in its name."
"But it's actually deep in the mountains, with only a few small streams."
"Even if Xiao Zhu were in the ditch, he could drown?"
After hearing these words, Wang Chengen didn't know how to explain.
I could only say something random:
"Um... actually, Mr. Zhu drowned in the pool."
“Our Mr. Zhu can’t swim, so he panicked when he first fell into the water. When he called for help, he accidentally choked on water.”
Gao Qingyun nodded upon hearing this.
"That makes sense. I remember Xiao Zhu is quite young, and he is indeed still at an age where he likes to play in the water."
“Sigh, our education system issues repeated orders every year, saying that children should not play in the water or go swimming in the wild.”
"I didn't expect something like this to still happen."
He then said to Wang Chengen, "Alright, didn't I just say that coming to me is useless."
"Let's get him to the hospital right away."
"Even if it's a bit far, surely you can walk for half a day and still reach a place with a road?"
"We'll take them away by car, and they'll get to the hospital quickly."
Wang Chengen's face was full of bitterness.
He naturally understood that what Gao Qingyun was talking about was probably the way things would be handled hundreds of years from now.
But where in the Ming Dynasty are there any hospitals?
So he sighed and said, "Actually, there are a few doctors in our village."
"After they examined him, they all said that Mr. Zhu's illness was probably incurable."
"At most, it will only delay things for a while."
Hearing this, Gao Qingyun was speechless.
"What kind of quacks are the doctors in your village?"
"It's just choking on water, right? Basically, it's because the water wasn't clean, there were bacteria in it, and it caused some kind of inflammation."
"Take him to the hospital for a few antibiotic injections, and he'll be fine right away!"
Gao Qingyun shook his head.
"Where did this quack doctor come from, saying this disease is incurable?"
Wang Chengen listened to his seemingly logical explanation, but felt increasingly distressed.
"Does this mean that hundreds of years from now, choking on water will be a minor problem?"
"Alas, it's a pity that our Great Ming Dynasty doesn't have such a famous doctor."
Wang Chengen didn't know what to say, and walked out dejectedly.
Gao Qingyun couldn't see his expression and assumed he was going out to find a car to take "Xiao Zhu" to the hospital.
So he loudly instructed, "When you go to the hospital, remember to tell the county that I have arrived."
"As for my eyes, you mustn't mention it."
If others knew that Gao Qingyun had an eye problem, they definitely wouldn't let him continue being a teacher.
We'll definitely take him back immediately for treatment.
How can he complete the system's tasks in this way?
"Modern medicine is advanced, but it can't cure blindness!"
Gao Qingyun sighed, then continued to fumble around preparing her lesson.
"Sigh, with something like this happening in their village, it looks like sending the students here for classes will be delayed for a few more days!"
