After Zi Wan returned to the palace, she explained everything that happened in the prison to Zheng Shuwen in detail.
"The Emperor didn't say anything?" Zheng Shuwen frowned, a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes.
"The Emperor only said that Hua Qingxue would be rescued, nothing else." Zi Wan reported truthfully.
Save Hua Qingxue
The corners of Zheng Shuwen's lips curled up into a disdainful sneer. She wanted to see how the emperor wanted to rescue Hua Qingxue.
"The emperor put a fur cloak on Hua Qingxue's body, and Hua Qingxue... called the emperor by his name." Zi Wan continued to add something.
"That Hua Qingxue is so brave!" Zheng Shuwen slapped her hand on the table, her cold eyes showing a thick haze.
Aster didn't speak, just stood aside quietly.
"This Hua Qingxue is very courageous. She calls the Emperor by his first name. She really takes herself seriously!" Zheng Shuwen was angry, with an unspeakable jealousy in her heart.
She would never allow Hua Qingxue to become an obstacle to the emperor.
"What does the Queen Mother want to do?" Zi Wan asked the Queen Mother in a low voice.
"Don't worry, the prison environment was cold that day. I want to see how long Hua Qingxue can hold on." Zheng Shuwen wanted to slowly torture Hua Qingxue, and her graceful face showed viciousness and hatred.
…
Hua Qingxue sneezed in the prison, she rubbed her nose, her eyelids were a little heavy, and she felt a little drowsy.
She grabbed her cloak and wrapped it tightly around her body. The cold air kept invading her body, and her stomach ached.
Fu Tingye…
… Fu Tingye…
She kept talking about Fu Tingye in her heart and missed him more and more.
Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she huddled in the corner. She seemed to see Fu Tingye appearing in front of her.
Hua Qingxue smiled lonelyly. She must have missed him too much to have such an illusion. With this thought in mind, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
…
In Shengjing, people were talking about Hua Qingxue being a traitor. When Lu Zhengqing came out of the medicine shop after buying the medicinal materials, those people looked at him with strange eyes. He paused and turned back without saying a word. walking.
"Do you think Mrs. Si Bing is really a traitor?" People gathered together in twos and threes, cracking melon seeds and talking about the matter that was currently making a fuss in Shengjing.
"Who knows? But when those soldiers took Si Bing's wife away, the general was not there. I heard that the general went to the border." The man whispered.
"I'm afraid Da Qi and Liao are going to war again." A man's face was covered with countless sorrows.
"The Liao Kingdom purchased the Earth-shaking Thunder from Da Qi. It seems that things are about to change!" The originally excited group of people suddenly withered. The greatest harm caused by the war was the common people.
"Don't say that, we have to believe the general!" Someone saw their depressed look and slapped his hand on the table and said excitedly.
"Yes, we have to believe in the general. The general is the God of War!" As soon as the man said this, the other people immediately became excited. They had some different beliefs in Fu Tingye.
Lu Zhengqing listened to the words of several people. His heart tightened and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes. He quickened his pace and walked back.
"Master, master is not good. Some students' parents want to take them back." Xi'er was about to go find Lu Zhengqing when she saw Lu Zhengqing walking in from the door.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zhengqing asked Xi'er with a serious look on his face.
"They said..." Xi'er bit her lip, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes. She didn't know what to say.
"What's going on? Don't hesitate, tell me quickly." Lu Zhengqing's heart skipped a beat.
"They said Madam was sent by the Liao Kingdom to study in Xizuo, and they couldn't let their children go to school in Xizuo's academy." Xi'er gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and repeated what those people said in one breath.
Lu Zhengqing's heart skipped a beat.
"Master Meng is explaining to them now, but they don't listen at all. What should I do?" Xi'er was about to cry.
"Take me there quickly." Lu Zhengqing was eager to see the situation over there.
…
"Listen to my explanation, madam. Madam is definitely not a craftsman sent by the Liao Kingdom. She has made so many arms for Da Qi. How could she be a craftsman?"
When Lu Zhengqing came over, he saw Master Meng trying his best to explain to a woman.
But the woman didn't listen at all: "The notice has been sent out, and you don't need to explain it. We can't afford to be charged with treason. I think that Mrs. Si Bing set up this Laoshizi Academy, maybe she wanted to give it to the Liao Kingdom." Cultivate fine work!”
The lady pulled her child forcefully.
"Mom, I won't go back. Mrs. Si Bing is not a good girl, wuwuwu..." The child being pulled by the woman was crying and struggling. She didn't want to leave, she wanted to go to the School of Science.
"You stinky girl, hurry up and go home with me. See if I can't beat you to death when I get home!" The woman said viciously, not forgetting to twist the little girl's arm.
The little girl suddenly cried harder.
Lu Zhengqing ran over quickly when he saw this.
"Madam, Mrs. Si Bing is definitely not who the notice says she is." Lu Zhengqing explained eagerly.
"Dean Lu... wuwuwu..." the little girl cried and called Lu Zhengqing.
"You are the dean of the School of Science, right? I want to go through the withdrawal procedures for my child!" The woman's attitude was so tough that Lu Zhengqing didn't know what to do.
"Mom, wuwuwu... I don't want to leave! Please, mom..." The little girl cried and begged her mother.
"Don't embarrass me here, why are you crying!" The woman was so angry at her child's bad temper that she slapped the little girl.
"Madam, if you have anything to do, don't get angry at the child. After all, he is a child." Lu Zhengqing and Meng Zhida looked at the scene in front of them and quickly stopped the woman.
"Hurry up and complete the withdrawal procedures for us!" The woman glared at Lu Zhengqing fiercely.
Seeing that he could not persuade her, Lu Zhengqing had no choice but to drop out of school for the little girl.
The little girl kept crying, and the woman pulled her over and walked out the door.
While the little girl was being pulled out by the woman, she did not forget to look back at Lu Zhengqing and Meng Zhida.
Those tearful eyes were full of reluctance, and the three people standing there felt helpless.
"How many people have left the college?" Lu Zheng asked Meng Zhida, his throat hoarse.
"There are already more than half of the students. Now there are some who believe in Madam, and some whose parents don't care." Meng Zhida did the math, feeling a little sour in his heart.
Lu Zhengqing did not expect that his wife's matter had become so serious.
He and Meng Zhida returned to class. The students in the class had red eyes. Many of their friends had been taken home.
Lu Zhengqing stood on top and looked at the students below. He opened his mouth but stopped talking.
"Dean, Madam, you were wronged, right?" An older child asked Lu Zhengqing with red eyes.
"Madam is unjust, and those students are only going home temporarily. You have to believe in Madam and the School of Science. They will come back!" Lu Zhengqing looked at them seriously and comforted them, "It doesn't matter how many are left in the School of Science." Students will also attend classes normally, so there is no need to worry about this.”
"Dean, we believe in Madam, we believe in you, and we believe in Master. Madam will definitely come out!" The student sitting below had firm eyes.
Lu Zhengqing felt a warm feeling in his heart. He turned to look at Meng Zhida and said, "Master Meng, let's go to class as usual."
Meng Zhida sniffed and nodded.
Lu Zhengqing took Xi'er out, and the sweet sound of reading rang out in the room.
Xi'er listened to the low sobbing, these children left behind are really sensible.
…
The border war was busy, and Fu Tingye was preparing for the Liao army's surprise attack while training his soldiers. He had no idea what was happening in Shengjing, and the letter sent by Zhao Sheng had not yet arrived.
"What's wrong with the general? Does he seem to be worried?" When Liang Wensheng came to look for Fu Tingye, he saw Fu Tingye looking lost in thought.
"I don't know why, but I always feel like something is happening." Fu Tingye frowned. He had been a little absent-minded in everything he did in the past two days.
"Do you miss Madam?" Liang Wensheng asked him cautiously.
Fu Tingye said nothing, but his stern face was filled with longing for Hua Qingxue.
"Madam is waiting for you in Shengjing, general, don't worry." Liang Wensheng comforted him carefully.
"The general is in trouble, the Liao army suddenly attacked!" A soldier ran in and said in a panic.
"Where are Lao Hai and Lao Wu?" Fu Tingye stood up immediately after hearing this, with a hint of seriousness on his cold face.
"General Sea Cucumber and Vice General Qin each led a team to fight with the Liao army!" The soldier lowered his head and reported the war outside.
Fu Tingye took his big knife and walked out of the tent.
"General, the Liao army has escaped, should we pursue it?" Hai Shixuan came over and asked Fu Tingye for his opinion.
"No need to chase!" Fu Tingye raised his hand, and his dark eyes stared at the direction of the Liao army's escape.
"General..." Qin Laowu wanted to say something else, but a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
Fu Tingye glanced over with a cold look, and Qin Laowu was silent. No matter how unwilling he was, he did not dare to refute Fu Tingye.
"Do you think this Liao army's surprise attack simply wanted to catch us off guard?" Fu Tingye looked at him with cold eyes.
Qin Laowu looked at Fu Tingye in disbelief. He seemed to understand something in his heart. He couldn't help but said: "General, you mean..."
"Be smart and don't act recklessly, otherwise you won't even know you've fallen into the enemy's trap!" Fu Tingye glared at him. Fortunately, he came out to stop Qin Laowu, otherwise he wouldn't even know if his head was still on his neck!
Qin Laowu's head drooped when Fu Tingye said this.
"Go down and get twenty military sticks yourself!" After Fu Tingye said that, he returned to his tent.
Qin Laowu said nothing, after all, he was reckless this time.
