The headmaster of the state school was already waiting nearby.
However, the situation was so urgent just now that no one dared to go forward to persuade Ye Siming.
Profligate Zhao was to be blamed for being blind and offending the little princess.
He was lucky that he wasn’t killed on the spot!
However, if the princess were to tell the emperor when she returned to the palace today, his outcome would be even more tragic.
After Gu Nuo’er was carried into the school by Ye Siming, the Black Cavalry guards sheathed their swords and got on their horses to leave the alley. Only then did the headmaster walk out.
He was sweating profusely and felt that he had encountered a difficult problem.
“Quick, the few of you, go and bring out the carriage behind the school. Get a few male students to help carry Young Master Zhao onto the carriage and quickly send him to the medical hall.”
The headmaster gave instructions to a few strong guards.
However, when people were unlucky, even cold water would get stuck in their teeth when they were getting a drink.
Not long after the guards ran to the backyard, they came rushing back and shouted, “Headmaster, bad news! The carriages have been borrowed by the teachers. There’s only the donkey cart left!”
The headmaster stomped his feet. “How unlucky! This is really untimely! If there’s only the cart, then so be it. It’s more important to save people! Hurry up and bring it over!”
Not long later, the donkey cart with some dried hay was brought over.
A group of young men carried Young Master Zhao onto the cart.
Everyone saw his sorry state.
His neck was still bleeding, and his crotch was wet and smelly.
Everyone was secretly shocked, but there were naturally people who felt that he deserved this plight.
After sending Young Master Zhao off, the headmaster quickly dispersed the crowd. “Hurry up and go to class. Why are you all gathered here? If you’re late, you’ll be punished by the teachers!”
Only then did the students disperse. However, the news of Young Master Zhao spread throughout the academy in less than half a day.
A few teachers led the way and brought Gu Nuo’er and Ye Siming to their classroom.
The teachers bowed outside and said, “Your Highness, Young Master Ye, this is where your classes will be held. You can take any of the free seats.
“If you have any needs, feel free to look for any of our teachers. The headmaster will personally come to check if there is anything else you need later. We’ll take our leave first.”
Gu Nuo’er was very obedient and nodded. “I understand, teachers. We’d caused you trouble just now.”
“We wouldn’t dare, we wouldn’t dare. Young Master Zhao was previously called domineering and ostentatious by other students. It’s his good fortune to have been taught a lesson this time around.”
Gu Nuo’er smiled.
The state school was divided into classes according to age. The class with the youngest students was the one for five to eight years old.
Gu Nuo’er became the youngest student.
When Ye Siming carried her into the classroom, their teacher had yet to arrive.
The child saw that the sunlight by the window was excellent. Outside the window were picturesque artificial mountains, bamboo branches, and flowing water.
She waved her small hand. “Elder Brother Siming, I want to sit there.”
Ye Siming didn’t say anything and carried her over decisively.
He placed the child on the mat and then took the seat behind Gu Nuo’er.
At this moment, there were already a few students sitting in the classroom.
They had all come over early to study and hadn’t seen the scene that took place at the entrance of the state school.
Seeing where Ye Siming and Gu Nuo’er were sitting, one of them kindly walked over to persuade them.
“You guys are our new classmates, right? This seat is taken. Don’t sit here, or you’ll get scolded.”
Gu Nuo’er scratched the tip of her nose. “But Teacher just said that we can take any of the empty seats.”
“Little girl, there’s something you don’t know. There’s a fiendish profligate who has always liked to sit here and sleep ever since he came to our class. If he sees that you’ve snatched the seat, he’ll definitely lose his temper! This person isn’t someone to be trifled with. I advise you to move elsewhere.”
