Chapter 78 Chapter 77 A leaf blinds the eyesight

"No, if I can't keep my life by my master's side, it doesn't matter whether I die early or late. I just feel lucky that I can still have my life by your side."

Those people died when they died. He didn't feel that things harmed their own kind. He was sad when a rabbit died and a fox died. He was even a little grateful for Zhao Xingde's cruelty.

At least Zhao Xingde killed all the hypocritical people around her, leaving him alone as a person who may not be attracted to her, so that he could take advantage of it.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You can't die, you know? I will definitely protect you and no one can take you away."

She raised her head and stared into his eyes seriously, as if she was swearing to him.

The atmosphere was just right, you and me, he held her face and pressed her lips lightly.

"The slave will not leave."

Wei Huaining leaned against him and suddenly felt that the courtyard, which he was tired of looking at, was much more lovely.

He must not be as interesting as those people, but Wei Huaining suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with cuddling together quietly like this.

Until Zhao Xingde led someone in again.

Mengshan Academy.

Wei Huai'en slept a lot today, and it was already sunset when she woke up. The little doctor girl guarding her bed timidly asked her:

"Your Highness, would you like a drink of water?"

"Why are you here, where is Xiao Qi?"

She drank a few spoonfuls of the water fed by the little doctor girl, cleared her throat and asked.

"That adult went... to visit the academy."

The little doctor girl was not good at lying. She paused for a moment before remembering Xiao Qi's explanation.

Wei Huai'en saw the little doctor's hesitation, but he didn't expose it. He just followed her words and asked about Mengshan Academy.

The little doctor girl was very happy that Her Highness Jia Rou, whom she had always admired, could talk to her in a gentle voice. She explained the situation of the academy in detail like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. She even explained whether the clock chimes at each hour urged the students to go to class or to eat.

Be clear.

Wei Huai'en originally just asked casually, but he became interested in it as he listened.

"These rules were formulated by Chief Ruan Shan? I can't believe that he, who is always late, can actually do things in such an organized manner. No wonder the students he teaches are difficult to deal with."

"Didn't His Highness Jiarou also do this, which only serves to criticize others behind their backs?"

Ruan Yan's laughter could be heard outside the door, and he didn't know how long he had been eavesdropping.

"Now that you're here, you're still standing outside eavesdropping, Ruan Yan, you couldn't have done this before."

Wei Huaien called him in.

Ruan Yan walked in with a pot of orchids in full bloom and placed them on a shelf where Wei Huaien could see them. Although he did not argue with her anymore, he deliberately stretched his arms and stood not far away with his hands on his hips and pretended to sigh:

"I'm tired, I'm tired. Today I led the students to practice riding and shooting on the academy grounds. I feel like my hands are so tired that I can no longer control the strings.

If His Highness was not injured, he would definitely be able to show off his talents on the school field and help someone share some of the burden, right?

Oh, by the way, there is a hard bow left by a famous general from the previous dynasty in Mengshan Academy. It has been well kept for so many years, but it is a pity that Your Highness..."

Wei Huai'en rolled his eyes at Ruan Yan regardless of his manners, and turned his head towards the bed, not wanting to pay attention to his overt sarcasm.

But the little doctor girl didn't know what Wei Huai'en was thinking, and asked her with concern: "What's wrong with Your Highness? Does the wound hurt again?"

Ruan Yan laughed so hard that he couldn't stand upright.

"Hahaha, don't worry, Your Highness Jiarou is not that delicate. She doesn't want to talk to me."

"Chief Ruan Shan knows that his mouth is the most annoying. I'm already like this, and you still want to say sarcastic words?"

Wei Huai'en was so angry that he lost his temper and turned around to start a quarrel with Ruan Yan.

"Then, I am here to apologize to Jiarou."

Ruan Yan bowed his hands in a salute, then calmed down and said to Wei Huaien:

"His Highness's chess game invitation, I will probably give you a reply in the next few days."

Wei Huai'en knew that Ruan Yan deliberately picked a fight with the little doctor girl when she was there, so he didn't say much. He just took a deep look at Ruan Yan, nodded and said, "Then Chief Ruan Shan needs to think carefully.

"

She wanted the momentum from Mengshan Academy and the literary world to make her last step smoother, but what she could give Ruan Yan was also very clear.

One day, Mengshan Academy will become a stumbling block for students all over the world because of its inability to lose its reputation. The higher its reputation, the more it will fall. Today's emperor will never allow such an existence outside the Imperial College to lead the trend of literati.

No matter how much Ruan Yan pursues the unfettered freedom of Xianyun Yehe and no matter how much he wants to stay out of the political situation, he has not been given the opportunity to get out of the situation even today.

Mengshan Academy will always choose a side, and any side will only suppress the academy, except for Wei Huai'en who hopes to continue to establish a women's school.

Therefore, Wei Huaien is very confident and Ruan Yan will definitely bow to her.

When Xiao Qi came back, he caught up with the little doctor girl bringing the food box. When she saw him, the little doctor girl didn't go back into the hospital, but handed the food box to Xiao Qi and left.

They were all afraid of Xiao Qi, even though Xiao Qi only drove them out during the day so that Wei Huai'en could rest.

Just because Xiao Qi, apart from his lively look when facing Wei Huaien, the rest of the time he glanced at anyone at random like a sharp blade, looking at people from beginning to end, which made people shudder.

Xiao Qi originally wanted to ask Wei Huai'en what he said and who he saw after he woke up, but the little doctor girl quickly walked away as if she was being chased by a ghost.

So when he entered the room, he didn't speak first, but deliberately showed a brand new crutch to Wei Huai'en, as if to explain the reason why he had been out for so long.

Wei Huaien poked him: "Where have you gone?"

"Huh? Didn't the little doctor tell you? I walked around the academy, otherwise I would always be worried. I also asked the carpenter in the academy to make a crutch. It won't affect my walking these days.

"

Xiao Qi told her the prepared lie.

"Oh, this crutch is quite well made."

Xiao Qi thought Wei Huai'en had no suspicion, so he breathed a sigh of relief and leaned forward to open the food box.

"But wouldn't you just tell the little doctor girl what to do? Why teach her to lie?"

Wei Huai'en's clear eyes looked at Xiao Qi, who was a little at a loss, and he didn't know how to answer.

She actually didn't know what he was hiding, and she wasn't even sure whether Xiao Qi had lied. But if she didn't ask, there would always be a problem.

Xiao Qi took a piece of boneless fish and brought it to Wei Huaien's mouth. After she ate it obediently, she sighed and replied:

"Shifang is dead."

"What? How could it happen?"

Wei Huaien almost sat up, but Xiao Qi pressed her shoulders to calm her down.

"Listen to me, Huaien Shifang is from Jinshang. You know, he actually left a Beizhai man alive and planned to take credit for it. However, there is a traitor of King Duan among our guards. In order to destroy the evidence

, assassinated Shifang.

It was because the people I arranged to monitor the two traitors did not find out in time, so they succeeded. Now that the traitors have been killed, after returning to Beijing, I will ask for some favor from Shifang."

Xiao Qi knew that Li Kong at the foot of the mountain had smoothed over the matter, so what he said at this moment was the "truth".

Wei Huai'en did not doubt that he was there, and sighed with regret: "There is no need for you to hide such a big thing from me. Although Shifang... that's all, he is dead. No matter what, he is still in the Tiger Guard Camp.

What a pity for our soldiers."

"Yes, the deceased is gone, and there is no need for Wynn to worry too much about him. Everyone has their own destiny. Come, let's eat."

Xiao Qi gently pinched Wei Huai'en's frowned brow, and naturally overturned the disappearance of the afternoon.

"One more thing, Li Kong knows that this time he aided the emperor and almost harmed you, so he is willing to let Miss Meng Keshu come to Mengshan Academy to accompany you to show his willingness to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side."

"Okay, in this way, King Duan will not have any trump cards left. Xiao Qi, this is a great achievement for you."

Wei Huai'en took his hand and shook it, finally dispelling the gloom caused by Shifang's death.

"Then how will Your Highness reward this slave?"

He wiped the corners of her lips, lowered his voice and approached.

Wei Huai'en subconsciously took a breath as he approached. He had a not unpleasant smell of dust and a warm smell of sweat after being exposed to the sun for half a day. It was completely different from the smell of incense he used to incense every day.

Her throat was a little tight, so she swallowed an empty mouthful and raised her hand to touch the outline of his face.

"What do you want?"

But her thoughts had drifted away involuntarily, thinking of that night... After that, she had a lot of things to do and went to the imperial mausoleum to pay tribute. They didn't even sleep in the same bed again.

Xiao Qi bit her thumb, not hard, but it left a circle of teeth marks, which was swollen and itchy, as if he bit her heart.

"What can your Highness give this servant?"

He lowered his head and almost touched the tip of her nose. She closed her eyes, and her slightly opened lips could already feel the hot breath of his breath.

But he suddenly stepped away, as if he was not affected by the ambiguous atmosphere that was about to become real. He touched Wei Huai'en's forehead with concern, kissed her forehead like a dragonfly, and straightened up.

"Your Highness has no fever. That female doctor is really capable."

It seemed that he only came so close to test the temperature on Wei Huaien's forehead. The indifferent expression on his face now made Wei Huaien's eyes widen, and he felt like a fire was stuck, but there was no reason to let it out.
