"Miss, you have been painting for several days and you haven't finished it yet? Can such a large-scale academy really be run?"
Chu Yunxi looked at the drawing in front of her. She drew it after asking her mother. It was the layout of the once prosperous Sikong Academy.
Today, it is a sealed ruin.
Maybe she can't get the emperor's permission to reopen Sikong Academy now, but she can set up some branches first, and then move them all into Sikong Academy when the time is right.
It would be great if in the future, my mentor Sikong Yu was willing to come back to take charge of the academy.
Chu Yunxi looked at Xiaolian and Hexiang. Maybe she should plan a special women's college. By then, her two maids would also have a different future.
"When I get started, Miss, I will send you both to study. Tell me, what kind of craft do you want to learn?"
"Ah? Miss, do we still need to study?"
Xiao Lian has a bitter face. When she was reading with her since she was a child, she would doze off beside him, but He Xiang liked to listen along.
"Having many skills does not overwhelm you. If you have skills, you will be able to gain a foothold no matter where you go in the future."
Chu Yunxi hopes that they will have more choices in the future.
"Xiaolian is not going anywhere, she will stay with the lady. Otherwise, Xiaolian will learn how to make tea and do embroidery."
Chu Yunxi shook her head helplessly. Xiaolian was a little girl who was easily satisfied and happy.
"Where's He Xiang? Do you have any ideas?"
He Xiang thought about it seriously. For a maid like her, even if the young lady showed mercy and got rid of her slave status in the future, she would be nothing more than an ordinary citizen with little future in her life.
"Miss, can I help you take care of the academy?"
Chu Yunxi's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that He Xiang would be interested in this.
She will definitely need a lot of manpower in the future. If Hexiang is willing to go out, that would be great. Hexiang is attentive and sincere.
"Of course you can, it's great, but running the academy will definitely be very hard. He Xiang, you have to think carefully about it."
He Xiang was a little excited. Can she get out of this small world and go outside to have a look?
"Miss, He Xiang is not afraid of hard work. He Xiang will definitely work hard."
Chu Yunxi nodded with satisfaction, "We at Hexiang are really capable."
"I'll make tea for the lady."
Hexiang was so embarrassed by Chu Yunxi's praise that she turned around and ran out. But Xiaolian asked curiously:
"Miss, where do you want to open your medical school? Shops in the capital are very expensive."
"I don't need to worry about it now. The third brother said that he would help me prepare the site. The second brother said that he would help me go through the government formalities. The eldest brother said that he would help me supervise the construction."
Chu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh when she thought of her brothers patting their chests. Her brothers would definitely rush to do anything that happened to her.
Xiaolian nodded, not surprised, the young lady is the favorite of the whole family.
The fragrance of lotus leaves and comes back again, without tea, but with a piece of news.
"Miss, the eldest son has sent someone to deliver a message, asking you to come to the palace quickly."
Chu Yunxi's heart tightened. What happened in the palace? Did Concubine Rong act like a monster again? Or, the substitute was found to have a flaw? Otherwise, the eldest brother would not have sent someone to call her into the palace.
"Hurry and change my clothes. I will enter the palace immediately."
Chu Yunxi's palms were sweating worriedly all the way, and finally arrived at the East Palace and saw Chu Wenzhong, but saw that he was wearing leather gloves to keep warm in winter.
Chu Yunxi asked anxiously:
"Brother, what are you doing? What happened?"
"Sister, come and take a look, there is indeed something wrong with that potted plant."
Chu Wenzhong led Chu Yunxi to the side hall and pointed to a smooth bottle on the table for Chu Yunxi. Next to it was a potted plant sent by Concubine Rong.
Chu Yunxi lowered his head and immediately frowned.
"Why so many, little spider?"
"This is not an ordinary spider, it is a poisonous spider. If a normal person is bitten by this thing, he may die, let alone a weak person who is seriously injured."
Doctor Zhang interjected. "The minister pays homage to the Crown Princess."
Chu Yunxi couldn't help but look up at Dr. Zhang.
"Poisonous spider? It came out of the potted plant sent by Concubine Rong?"
They looked carefully at the entire potted plant that day and found no spiders?
"Yes, it hatched from the potted soil."
Doctor Zhang used a wooden stick to push down the little spider that was trying to crawl out. This thing can kill people.
"Sister, that Concubine Rong really has ulterior motives and is so vicious that she wants to kill His Highness the Crown Prince."
Chu Wenzhong didn't know what words to use to express his current anger.
Chu Yunxi looked at the poisonous spiders with an expressionless face, but also felt boundless anger in his heart, and his chest heaved.
In the past few days, she had made many speculations about Concubine Rong's behavior of sending potted plants to the East Palace. Perhaps she wanted to make a good impression in front of the emperor, and perhaps the yellow talisman was not an amulet, but some kind of curse.
She also wondered whether the potted plant might have been watered with some kind of spice that was not conducive to wound recovery.
But she didn't expect that even if a biting dog doesn't bark, Concubine Rong could be such a vicious person and bold enough. But if she wanted to touch the people Chu Yunxi cared about, she had to see if she agreed.
Chu Yunxi walked to the potted plant.
"Has this soil been treated? Are there still poisonous spiders in it?"
"Princess, we poured hot water on it, there won't be any."
Doctor Zhang replied while observing the poisonous spiders.
This kind of deadly poisonous insect is rarely seen on weekdays. He thought about catching a few mice and conducting experiments. Maybe he could develop a life-saving antidote.
Chu Yunxi just stared at the potted plant for a long time, and Chu Wenzhong was afraid that she would be angry.
"Sister, please relax and report it to the Emperor. The Emperor has high hopes for His Highness and will not just sit idly by."
Chu Yunxi picked up the potted plant and walked out.
"Sister, where are you going?"
Chu Wenzhong hurriedly chased after him, fearing that Chu Yunxi would be impulsive and suffer a secret loss. "Brother, will you go with me?"
"Eldest brother, stay here. The prince's attendant will follow me."
"Yes, Crown Princess."
Chu Yunxi gave the order, and the 13579 who were left behind by Jun Lingyun did not hesitate at all. They immediately straightened their bodies and responded loudly. They followed Chu Yunxi. One person stepped forward and took Chu Yunxi's hand.
Potted plant in hand.
It seems that the Crown Princess is going to find a place for His Highness the Crown Prince. Of course, they have to support the Crown Princess' momentum.
Doctor Zhang covered the poisonous spiders and came to watch the fun outside the palace gate.
"It's incredible, it's incredible. The Crown Princess is going to show off her power. There won't be a bloody disaster, right?"
Seeing Chu Wenzhong looking sideways, Doctor Zhang finally remembered that the person he was talking about was the sister of the young general Chu next to him.
He smiled knowingly.
"I'm just talking nonsense. I'm going to take those poisonous spiders away to prevent them from hurting anyone."
"Mr. Zhang, please be careful and don't let them escape, otherwise you will indulge in violence and there will be a bloody disaster."
Dr. Zhang's neck shrank. He was usually very cautious when talking and doing things, but why did he forget to behave appropriately every time he was in front of the Crown Princess?
"I will be careful, I will be careful."
Doctor Zhang had already left with the bottle containing the poisonous spider, and Chu Wenzhong gave another instruction:
"Mr. Zhang, don't play to death, just keep a few as evidence."
Doctor Zhang was so preoccupied with his experiment that he had no time to worry about Chu Wenzhong, so he waved his hand and left.
Chu Yunxi and his attendants did not go to the emperor to complain. Instead, they went to Concubine Rong's palace in an aggressive manner.
