Chapter 238 The fight between scholars must be very exciting
The murderer who killed her sister had been dealt with. Bai Wei had no other wishes. She knelt on the ground with a lifeless look on her face. "I was responsible for murdering the Queen and framing her. Please, Queen, grant me death."
Gu Jianchu tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingers, and remained silent. "What does Eldest Sister want to do?"
Xie Qingzhi: ...
The queen deliberately threw the difficult problem to her.
"Actually, this little girl is quite pitiful. She came to the Princess's residence to avenge her sister, who was killed by these treacherous people. If she were to be implicated and killed as a result of this, it would be truly unbearable. Besides, the Empress is not seriously injured, so it's better to give her a lighter punishment."
"Since my elder sister has said so, why not give him a lighter punishment? You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life. Take him away and lash him with thirty lashes."
After Gu Jianchu finished speaking, he turned to Zhu Xia and said, "Go and inform Doctor Lin, and ask him to help the young lady see if her illness can be cured. Also, after the execution, arrange for someone to apply medicine to her, and then send her out of the palace after she has recovered."
"The Queen is truly merciful, but this little girl is truly pitiful. Her elder sister was directly killed by those bastards. In my opinion, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Shicheng should be dragged out and his corpse whipped." The Queen Mother also has a character that hates evil.
Xie Qingzhi glanced at the aunt with disgust, "Aunt, you are disgusting, aren't you? You can even think of such a thing."
"It's just a corpse, are you scared?" The big man looked at Xie Qingzhi.
Xie Qingzhi shook his head and stepped back.
[Why do Big *** and Xie Qingzhi act like fighting cocks the moment they meet?]
"Okay, this matter is over. Eldest sister, please take the people in the mansion back." Gu Jianchu directly ordered them to leave. She was afraid that the two would continue to quarrel. According to the temper of the Xie family, it would be easy for them to destroy her Kunning Palace.
"Can I not go back yet?" Xie Qingzhi looked at Gu Jianchu.
Gu Jianchu looked puzzled, "What do you mean, elder sister?"
"Literally, a body was just dug out of the Princess's residence, so the yin energy is a bit heavy. I'm not feeling comfortable living there. I'll stay in the palace for a few days and wait for the mage to perform a ritual before I go back to live."
Gu Jianchu was not in a position to make a decision on this matter, so he looked at Xie Ci'an for help.
Xie Ci'an touched Gu Jianchu's hand and said gently, "The Queen can make the decision on matters like this."
"In that case, I will stay in the palace for a few days. After everything is settled, you can go back. If you need anything, you can go directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs." There are not so many concubines in the harem now, and many palaces are empty, so it is no problem to take in Xie Qingzhi.
After Gu Jianchu invited a few people to have lunch, everyone left with their full stomachs.
Now only Xie Ci'an and Gu Jianchu were left in the room.
The two of them sat under the windowsill, each doing their own thing. The palace servant came in just to add water and then left immediately.
Gu Jianchu lay on the soft couch, turned over, and rolled directly into Xie Ci'an's arms.
Gu Jianchu was so focused on reading the storybook that he didn't notice that the emperor was right next to him.
The melons that she and the emperor ate were all written into storybooks by thoughtful scholars and were extremely popular in the market. This time when Wan Ning entered the palace, she secretly brought some to her.
After being processed by those scholars, it becomes more interesting and more infuriating to read.
"I didn't see the emperor here." Gu Jianchu explained carefully.
Xie Ci'an dropped the memorial in his hand, picked up Gu Jianchu from his arms, placed him on his knees, and said dangerously, "I think the Queen did it on purpose."
Gu Jianchu naturally snuggled in Xie Ci'an's arms, "Your Majesty, please accuse me wrongly. Which eye of yours could you see that I did it on purpose?"
"The Queen is still trying to quibble?" Xie Ci'an's fingers lightly touched Gu Jianchu's waist, and Gu Jianchu shrank back with a shudder.
How could Xie Ci'an give Gu Jianchu a chance to hide? He hugged him in his arms and leaned forward to kiss the corner of Gu Jianchu's lips. Just when he wanted to continue, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open with force. Hearing the noise, Gu Jianchu quickly slipped out of Xie Ci'an's arms and quickly tidied his clothes.
When Cheng Song came in, he saw the queen with an embarrassed look on her face and the emperor with a gloomy face. A bad premonition instantly lingered in his mind. Did he come in at the wrong time and disturb the emperor and empress's good thing?
Xie Ci'an glanced at Cheng Song with a warning look.
As if to say, you'd better have something important to report.
Cheng Song was so frightened that he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He said, "Something happened to the emperor. Four students from Yousong Academy got into a fight and even made it outside."
Hearing the noise again, Gu Jianchu sat up instantly.
Xie Ci'an frowned slightly. "If students fight, just let the dean handle it. If the dean can't handle it, then there are so many ministers. Do I support them just to eat dry food?"
[Your Majesty has completely forgotten that the dean of Arimatsu Academy has been dismissed, and the position of dean is now vacant.]
Cheng Song was so frightened that he wiped the sweat off his face and continued cautiously, "Yousong Academy currently has no dean, so the teacher has no control over it. That's why they made a big deal out of it. As for the ministers in the court, they didn't know how to deal with the matter, so they reported it to the emperor."
"Why are you fighting?" Xie Ci'an asked coldly.
Seeing that the emperor did not continue to be angry, Cheng Song breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that they fought for the position of Zhixue."
[They're really fighting over the position of Zhixue. Their scholarly elegance is almost gone. It would be a shame not to be there to witness this kind of scholarly brawl.]
Before Xie Ci'an could speak, Gu Jianchu leaned forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, would you like to go and take a look? Yousong Academy is a matter of great importance. It's also the first academy that Your Majesty has personally taken care of since taking power. Furthermore, Yousong Academy doesn't have a dean right now, so they're bound to be lax and neglectful about many things, and might even develop some other ideas."
The Queen clearly wanted to be there to watch the show.
This matter does need to be dealt with. If it gets too big, it will have a bad impact on Yousong Academy.
"Go prepare the carriage, and send someone to inform the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy. I'll have them come to the palace to discuss the appointment of the president of Yousong Academy."
"Yes, I will do it right away." Cheng Song quickly left the hall, frightened and sweating. He had to say that the queen was really powerful. She calmed the emperor down with just a few words.
Cheng Song prepared the carriage. Before the emperor and empress left Kunning Palace, they saw Xie Qingzhi and Xia Zhi approaching from afar. "The empress is leaving. Where are they going?"
"Why is my elder sister here?" Gu Jianchu looked at Xie Qingzhi suspiciously.
[There's something wrong with Xie Qingzhi. Why does she like going to Kunning Palace? There's no one she likes in Kunning Palace.]
The system that had not been seen for a long time appeared again.
[Honey, I don’t know either.]
Gu Jianchu feels that the system is becoming increasingly negligent in its duties.
