Chapter 375: Admiration
“What’s the hurry?”
An Jiuyue smiled. She had only just thought of setting up a school, but Wei Na seemed as if it had always wanted to do it.
“Of course, we have to hurry. There are so many schools out there, and they’ve been recruiting students recently. If we don’t hurry, those schools will snatch away all the good seedlings,” Wei Na replied.
Take, for example, De Yuan Academy. On the surface, all of the teachers were respected role models.
Nobody knew what kind of morals they were hiding behind their backs. They were sanctimonious and insulting to the refined. If students enrolled in a school like that and were taught by such teachers, how morally corrupt would they become?
They wanted these children to be part of the royal court? The royal court would be ruined by them, right? How shameless!
“Master, I don’t have much to do in the space every day, right?”
“Alright, I’ll see if there are any books I can exchange for.” An Jiuyue nodded and sank her consciousness into the Points Mall to choose books.
…
Qian Jiyun was about to leave the palace when he was urgently summoned to the imperial study.
The news about Prince Sui reached the old emperor quickly. He ordered his men to seize Qian Jiyun, who had left the palace, and prepared to interrogate him.
In the imperial study, Qian Jiyun sneered internally as he looked at the old emperor.
“Your Majesty, I don’t understand what you mean. If I remember correctly, Jiuyue went to visit schools for the two children with my sister this morning. How did she offend Prince Sui?
“She doesn’t know Prince Sui. Besides, Jiuyue is a weak woman. How can she bully Prince Sui? Did you make a mistake, Your Majesty?”
The old emperor was stunned by Qian Jiyun’s repeated questions.
He did not listen to the report carefully. When he learned that his son had been bullied by the person Qian Jiyun had brought back, he immediately dispatched someone to find Qian Jiyun.
As for what happened…
“Eunuch Zheng, what exactly happened? Tell me the truth,” he asked, glancing at Eunuch Zheng.
He did not want to hide anything from Qian Jiyun. After all, Qian Jiyun could ask people about it and would find out everything if he left the imperial study.
“Well…”
Eunuch Zheng was stunned by the old emperor’s request for a straightforward explanation.
How was he supposed to explain it? Was he supposed to say that Prince Sui thought An Jiuyue was good-looking and tried but failed to snatch her away? And instead, his arms were injured, causing him excruciating pain even when he moved slightly?
“Your Majesty, according to the report I received, Prince Sui and An Jiuyue of the Prince Zhan Yun Residence met on the streets by chance. He admired Miss An and wanted to talk to her more. Hence… there was a conflict.”
The old emperor’s expression darkened as he cursed internally.
Admiration, my ass! That pervert probably tried to force her to go to his residence with him because he thought she was pretty! In the end, she beat him up because she’s not someone to be trifled with, right?
Although he wanted to say that Prince Sui deserved it, he was his son after all.
He glanced at Qian Jiyun meaningfully and asked Eunuch Zheng, “How… is Prince Sui now?”
If something really happened to Prince Sui, Qian Jiyun would definitely be charged with treason.
