Crazy and bad again, the princess is the best in Beijing

Emperor Qianyuan snorted and said, "There's no need to ask her. Judging from her lazy demeanor, she's definitely not going to agree if you ask her."

"I'll arrange this matter for her directly, and she can just do it."

"If she asks why you taught her this, just tell her it was my will. If she doesn't pass the imperial examination this autumn, I'll make her go to the farm and eat dirt!"

Xie Xuanzhi: "..."

Although he was very happy that Emperor Qianyuan found a reason for him to be alone with Shi Wanwan, he felt that he would be beaten to death if he taught Shi Wanwan like this.

Then it won't be her who will eat dirt, but him.

He then said, "Your Majesty, the princess is still young after all. Although she has fallen behind in her studies, she is very intelligent and will catch up quickly."

"She's still injured, so right now it's more important for her to recover. There's no rush to study."

Emperor Qianyuan sighed: "She has already wasted a lot of time, and now she can't waste any more."

"How about this, until her injury is fully healed, it will take too long for you to give her a lecture every day. One to two hours a day will be enough."

He then added with some emotion: "It is because she is so smart that we can no longer waste time."

"Seeing Wanwan now, I am reminded of Changping. Wanwan really looks like Changping."

Seeing Emperor Qianyuan's attitude, Xie Xuanzhi knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he had to agree.

Emperor Qianyuan added, "You are the teacher I appointed for her, so you cannot be without status."

"How about this, after she recovers from her injuries, I'll have her prepare a gift for you, and you'll be her last disciple from now on."

Xie Xuanzhi: "..."

He remembered the nonsense that Shi Wanwan had told him before: once a teacher, always a father. Now it seemed to be true.

He coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty knows that I don't have much time left..."

"Of course I know." Emperor Qianyuan interrupted him and said, "It is precisely because I know that I have made such arrangements."

"The Chong Palace is dwindling in number, and you have no wife or children. With Wanwan as your disciple, she can see you off to the end."

Xie Xuanzhi: "..."

He is not Shi Wanwan’s father, why would he send her off to death?

The development of this matter completely exceeded his expectations.

What Shi Wanwan had said jokingly before was now about to come true.

He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I have made many enemies in the capital since returning."

"If they knew that Princess Wan was my last disciple, after my death, given their hatred for me, it might bring disaster to Wan Wan."

"How about this, I teach the princess, but we don't need the title of master and disciple."

Emperor Qianyuan shook his head and said, "No, this is too unfair to you. Besides, without a reputation, Wanwan's personality may not necessarily listen to you."

"How about this, I'll be your witness in accepting Wanwan as your last disciple. Just a few of us will know about this."

"That way, she won't dare disrespect you in the future, and after you leave, your enemies won't bother her."

When Xie Xuanzhi heard what Emperor Qianyuan said, he knew that he had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to agree.

He suddenly had the feeling that he was originally going to marry Shi Wanwan, but her elders turned her into his daughter.

This feels so sour and refreshing!

Fortunately, only Emperor Qianyuan knew about their master-disciple relationship. Otherwise, if the poison was cured in the future and he really married her, he would be condemned by thousands of people.

Emperor Qianyuan was very happy to see that he agreed. He felt that he had found a very powerful backer for Shi Wanwan.

Because of this relationship, when Xie Xuanzhi was alive, he would definitely pay more attention to Shi Wanwan's affairs.

Based on his understanding of Xie Xuanzhi, he would definitely give his resources to Shi Wanwan after he left.

By then, no one in the court would dare to bully Shi Wanwan anymore.

He felt like he was such a good elder!

After the matter was settled, Xie Xuanzhi told Emperor Qianyuan about the assassination in the forest yesterday: "I have asked several other students who were traveling with the princess."

"If the county lord hadn't been alert and rescued them yesterday, they would have died in the forest."

"If one of them died in the forest, I'm afraid the situation would be very difficult to resolve."

Emperor Qianyuan angrily said, "They want my Imperial College. This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

At this moment, a young eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, I am requesting an audience on behalf of Jingzhao Yin Qin Feihe."

Emperor Qianyuan knew that Qin Feihe was here to talk about the assassination attempt yesterday, so he said, "Announce him!"

After Qin Feihe came in and paid his respects, he immediately reported the assassination of Shi Wanwan yesterday: "After I brought the assassins back to Jingzhao Prefecture, I discovered that they were all deadly men."

"They had poison hidden in their fangs. Because I failed to detect them, eight of them died, leaving only four alive."

"When I interrogated those who were still alive, they initially made random accusations and blamed the ministers in the court."

"Because their confessions didn't match, when I interrogated them again, they finally unanimously confessed that they were spies from Nanxiang."

"This assassination attempt on the princess and her group is intended to disrupt our court."

Emperor Qianyuan frowned: "A spy from Nanxiang?"

Qin Feihe replied, "They all said this unanimously, and there's no need to ask anything else."

"Su Yunzhi, the second son of the Zhenguo Duke, once identified one of them as Minister Shi's man, saying that he was behind the trouble he was causing for the princess and her group."

"I went to see Minister Shi about this matter. Minister Shi denied that the man was his, saying that it was the Nanxiang people who instigated the discord."

Xie Xuanzhi asked, "Is that person still alive?"

Qin Feihe replied, "That man insisted that he was sent by Minister Shi to kill the princess. After he finished speaking, he bit his tongue and committed suicide."

Xie Xuanzhi narrowed his eyes and cursed Shi Meichen in his heart as an old fox. This tactic of advancing to retreat was really a brilliant one.

Because of the incidents of those assassins attacking other ministers in the court, this matter can easily be defined as attacking.

Schmeichel had thought of a way out from the beginning and had made all preparations to completely extricate himself.

Emperor Qianyuan frowned.

In his opinion, Shi Meichen did not like Shi Wanwan, but he did not think Shi Meichen would be so crazy as to send so many people to kill her at all costs.

He said in a deep voice, "I know about this matter. Is there a problem with the formation?"

Qin Feihe replied, "I have already sent officers who are familiar with formations to investigate. It is a large trap."

"The trap is layered and complicated, with a maze inside. Essentially, it's still a trap, so there's no major problem."

"After learning about this incident, the Taoist sect was very cooperative and didn't make any excuses."

People don't have a clear definition of the boundary between a trap and a maze, and it's a bit hard to tell the difference between the two.

In this case, Gu Daoyuan cannot be held accountable, and essentially speaking, he is not wrong.

Even if we want to punish him, we can't punish him too severely.
