Accidentally dressed as an empress

At Taixue Academy, Li Xian had already brought his men to the academy's residence.

Inside the room, Su Qing was escorting Sun Ying, and Yun Xiu was sitting at the table, flipping through the bamboo slips on the table, as if they had been waiting for his arrival.

Li Xian looked at the relaxed Yunxiu and said, "Your Highness shouldn't have gotten involved in this. This is not your style."

Yunxiu chuckled, "People change, the moon waxes, and I can't change my ways."

Yunxiu saw Li Xian's tense face, which seemed to indicate he still didn't trust her. Yunxiu stood up and said, "When a person dies, there is no justice. Only the living can seek justice for them."

Li Xian still had a expressionless face.

Yun Xiu smiled and said, "Lord Li has his own standards in mind. Whether Lord Sun is right or wrong, it will be judged by the Yun Guo Law."

Su Qing let go of Sun Ying, and Sun Ying fell to the ground.

Yunxiu walked past Li Xian and said to her, "From now on, I'll leave it to you, Master Li."

System prompt, [Congratulations to the host for recruiting SSR Li Xian.]

Yunxiu smiled slightly. Li Xian pursued justice, friendship, and like-minded people. So she would give Li Xian the like-minded people he wanted.

She raised her head, squinted her eyes, and looked at the sky covered with dark clouds. In autumn, the sky should be high and the clouds should be light, and the weather should be crisp and refreshing.

Then let a strong wind blow and disperse all the clouds.

The system said, Host, host, the students have already gone to the palace gate to cause trouble.

It's right to make trouble. The bigger the better. After all, someone has died. It's impossible for these passionate and angry students not to make a big fuss.

Yunxiu slowly got into the carriage and rushed to the palace gate.

The crowd surrounded the palace gates, and she stood on the carriage and said loudly, "Dear students, don't get excited. Listen to me."

Someone in the crowd threw something at her. Su Qing blocked the peach pit and shouted, "His Highness is here, don't be rude!"

"Everyone, listen to me. If you block the palace gate, you will block Lord Li's carriage. Lord Li, she has already apprehended the culprit in this case, Sun Yuanzheng, and will definitely come to the palace to meet His Majesty and report the matter."

"Besides, the City Patrol and the Garrison are not far away. Please exercise restraint."

"We just want justice!"

"We paid our tuition and entered the Imperial College to learn, not to get beaten!"

Yunxiu said, "I understand! I understand everyone's confusion. Your Majesty is wise and prudent in this matter, and he will definitely give us an explanation. You leave a few people here, and we will wait here for Lord Li's carriage to arrive and see if I am deceiving you. The rest of you, return to the academy, rest well, and wait for news, okay?"

Yunxiu tried her best to persuade them and finally calmed them down. The crowd gradually dispersed and the scholars returned to Taixue Academy in groups.

Yunxiu sent Su Er to Taixue Academy to find Li Xian and handed her the students' blood letter.

When Su Er met Li Xian, she had already sent some patrol officers to gather the teachers together and was investigating the situation. The teachers were bruised and battered, having been beaten with brooms by the students, and looked miserable.

The teachers were initially tight-lipped. Li Xian then addressed them, "Human lives are at stake. Sun Ying is failing to manage the Imperial Academy effectively. Your Majesty is clear about rewards and punishments, and will certainly punish her severely. Whether Sun Ying has abused students, please tell us the truth."

A teacher lowered his head and told the whole story of how Sun Ying revised the school rules and how she was forced to corporally punish students.

After an hour, Li Xian and the inspector brought Sun Ying into the palace and asked for an audience outside the study in Yunji Palace.

Cui Ti sang, "Your Majesty has summoned the Internal Secretary to come before you."

Li Xian knelt, then stood up and reported, "It has been verified that Sun Ying, the dean of the Imperial Academy, privately modified the academy's rules, increasing corporal punishment and bullying the students. A teacher objected to the excessive severity of the punishment and was dismissed by Sun Ying."

Li Xian pulled out a piece of silk from his sleeve and said, "This is a joint letter signed in blood by the students."

Yun Se gave Cui Ti a wink, and Cui Ti took the blood letter and placed it on the table. His Majesty did not open it immediately.

Sun Ying lay on the white marble floor like a dead dog, his hair disheveled. His eyes gleamed with brilliance as he quickly defended himself, "This humble official is also doing this for the good of the students. As the saying goes, a strict teacher is lazy, and only a strict teacher can produce excellent students. Those students who can't even withstand a little corporal punishment will never be able to take on important responsibilities in the future."

Sun Ying continued, "That group of Imperial College students said in front of the palace gates that the Crown Princess was kind and gentle, and had spoken up for the students and rescued them. But His Majesty closed his eyes and ears, and did not care about the students' plight."

Li Xian frowned when he heard this.

Yun Se paused in rolling up the bamboo slips, her brows sharp as she spoke with a hint of anger, "Arrest those students who are causing trouble."

Censor Xu Yan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, when King Li of Zhou stopped slander and defamation of the state, the people watched closely on the streets. Guarding against the people's mouths is harder than guarding against a river. To manage a river, it is better to drain it than to block it. To manage a river, one must open it up to allow it to flow; to manage the people, one must let them speak freely."

Yun Se took a sip of tea, calmed down, and said, "I know about this matter. Li Xian, Sun Ying, you can leave first."

"Let those scholars go, but since rewards and punishments are not trustworthy and the law is unclear, let them all delay their studies for a year." Yun Se pondered for a moment, then said to Cui Ti, "Let's set the fiefdom of the eldest princess in Xiling."

Yunxiu and Yunji colluded, turning the Imperial Academy upside down. As the eldest daughter, she acted just like Yunji, recklessly and recklessly, without a second thought for the consequences. Ever since being deposed, she seemed to have given up, completely losing her former prudence and caution.

As for Sun Ying, it was all her fault for causing such a big incident and not knowing the seriousness of the matter.
