Chapter 194 Regarding the Regent's Day of Sacrifice



After Li Mingzhong went to the study and took out the item, it was a specially made box.

He placed it in front of Li Huan and said, "Look for yourself, but I'm warning you. Don't do anything unnecessary; this belongs to the Regent."

Li Huan looked at the box. "Of course, we're not the kind of people who steal other people's things. I just wanted to see the Regent's thought process so I could find suitable questions for this exam."

Li Mingzhong shook his head. "You know, when the Regent was setting the questions, he would just say the question on the spot as the last question and let them answer it on the exam paper themselves."

Li Huan: "I can't compare to him. According to the stories, the regent is here to save humanity, and he will leave when his time is up."

Li Mingzhong sighed inwardly, "Study it carefully, and don't forget that you can't tell anyone about the test questions."

Li Huan: "I'm not that kind of person. If the exam questions were leaked, that would be a capital offense."

Li Mingzhong nodded, "Perfect timing, I'm going to arrest this person who's about to be beheaded."

Li Huan was taken aback and looked over; his father had already gone out.

Who are they arresting? People who are about to be beheaded?

Who is it?

Did someone leak the exam questions?

He touched his neck; he certainly didn't want his head to roll.

Go and study the questions the regent asked in the past.

...

"Grand Scholar, are you not going to participate in setting the questions this time?"

"I'm too old for this kind of thing, so I'll leave it to the person in charge."

Besides, teaching knowledge in the academy is quite relaxing.

Apart from a few troublesome students, everyone else is fine.

"teacher."

Liu Si was standing outside the courtyard when the Grand Scholar saw him and asked, "Why have you come over?"

"The students had some time today, so they came to visit their teacher."

The Grand Scholar was very satisfied with this student, but there was another one. "Where's Xiao Se?"

"He's still handling the venue setup for this exam; he's been so busy lately he hasn't had time to rest."

"I came to see you after court."

The Grand Scholar hummed in agreement. “If you’re busy, then go ahead and take care of your business. This exam is very important.”

Liu Si: "Yes."

"Teacher, I'll come visit you with Xiao Se another day."

The Grand Scholar watched the departing figures. Both of these children were quite good, unlike that fellow.

But that guy was his most talented student.

Murong Jin, oh Murong Jin.

How foolish!

...

Achoo!

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Murong Jin picked up the child and sat him on her lap. "It's alright."

"Why did you come over?"

Nan Muyu: "I came to see you."

She liked both her gentle and indifferent mothers.

However, she still prefers her gentle mother; if her mother were cold and stern, she would get her hands slapped.

"Oh right, Mother, the teacher shouldn't be in the capital, right?" If he's not here, does that mean she doesn't have to study?

Murong Jin's lips curled up slightly. "She didn't come."

"That's great..."

Murong Jin: "However, Mother has found two tutors in the capital who will be responsible for your and your brother's studies from now on."

Nan Muyu's eyes widened. "Huh?"

"There are teachers in the capital too?"

“Every town has a teacher, Xiaoyu, learning more characters will do you good in the future.”

"I know, but Xiaoyu learns slowly. Will the teacher say that Xiaoyu is stupid?"

No, it won't.

Later that evening, Murong Jin took her daughter out on the street.

But I saw many people buying paper money and incense and candles...

With a sense of doubt in my mind, I wondered why everyone was already buying these kinds of things when it was still so far away from the Ghost Festival.

"Boss, you've already started selling these?"

Looking at her attire, the stall owner said, "Young lady, you must be from out of town. You don't know this, but these past three days have been the anniversary of our Regent's death. Although there haven't been any large-scale sacrificial ceremonies, everyone remembers her in their hearts."

"We will also burn incense and pray to Buddha for him in the next few days, and give him more money so that he won't be bullied by others in the underworld because he has no money."

"Hey, our Regent Prince, we can't let him be bullied."

Murong Jin's heart trembled as she looked at the somber faces of the people around her, who were all holding sacrificial items in their hands.

My heart aches a little.

Was faking her death and leaving a mistake?

After all, so many people love wearing her.

Her fingers were held, and Murong Jin looked down at her daughter, "Mother."

Murong Jin regained her composure and said, "It's nothing."

After looking around, it's basically the same everywhere.

"Our Regent is patriotic and kind to his people," His Majesty knows the Regent is frugal, so we simply burn incense for him at home, praying for his happiness and well-being in his next life.

"Mother, buy this. I heard the Regent likes this kind of pastry."

"Okay, okay."

"Father, let's buy more of this. The Regent also likes to drink tea."

"And books too. Our prince is quite the bookworm."

...

From the pavilion, Emperor Junlan looked down at the hurried people below.

Zhao Delin stood to the side, "Your Majesty."

"fine."

Just like in his previous life, Ah Jin remains a beloved prince among the people.

But in the end, it was a single sentence from that old bald monk that made him feel resentful.

"Although the Regent has done many good deeds, he has also committed a great deal of killing."

"The Regent saved people, and their gratitude and faith naturally belong to the Regent. However, the innocent killings caused also need to be atoned."
