Daily life in the academy

At this time, another eunuch ran up to Bai Zhi. She grabbed this young-looking eunuch and asked, "Young eunuch, can you tell me what happened?"

"My queen, you should run away too. They have all been killed. The Di people have invaded and killed them all..."

The young eunuch was so frightened that he was incoherent, but Bai Zhi still understood what he meant. The Di people had already attacked the palace and were now killing people indiscriminately.

Bai Zhi wanted to continue asking, but the young eunuch suddenly broke free from her grip and fled with the crowd.

No one knew who had set the fire, but with the help of the wind, the fire spread rapidly, and black smoke filled the air. Bai Zhi couldn't help but panic. She didn't want to die here, so she followed the palace people and fled outside.

After fleeing all the way and dodging several waves of Di soldiers, Bai Zhi finally arrived near Shunyi Gate. She actually saw An Ziqian breaking through the Di people's defense and leaving the imperial city under the guard of the imperial guards. Because of An Ziqian's appearance, a large number of Di soldiers gathered near Shunyi Gate, and Bai Zhi and a group of palace people were all exposed to them.

When the ice-cold knife pierced into her body, piercing pain and fear of death enveloped Bai Zhi's whole body. With a "puff" sound, the knife was pulled out suddenly, and blood spurted out.

Bai Zhi fell to the ground, muttering: I don't want to die, I don't want to die... But her blood kept leaking out, her body gradually became cold, and her consciousness became more and more blurred until she entered darkness.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo—" The unstoppable crowing of the rooster woke Bai Zhi up.

Bai Zhi, still immersed in the agony of death, cried out "Ah!" and sat up, shouting: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

Baizhi was breathing heavily, and when she finally calmed down a little, she found that her back was soaked.

It turned out that it was all a dream, but she could still feel the piercing pain and despair and helplessness before death in the dream.

Baizhi slowly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to the window and opened it. It was just getting light outside and there was still some time before morning class.

After a while, when the cold sweat on her palms stopped, Bai Zhi took off her sweaty clothes, re-tied the bandage on her chest, changed into clean clothes, and then sat at the table to think about last night's dream.

She had just talked to An Ziqian yesterday, and she had such a dream at night. In the dream, she actually became one of the palace concubines. Was she too worried or was there another hint in the dream?

Bai Zhi sat there until dawn, but still had no clue. She could only put the dream aside, washed up hastily, and rushed to morning class.

But until the end of the morning class, neither Master Xie nor the three members of the Prince's group showed up. I think it was because of the horse-falling accident yesterday.

Most of the mundane affairs of Yunlu Academy are currently under the charge of Xie Guan. Since such a big incident has happened in the academy, he should also give an explanation to the Princess's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion. It is normal that Yan Qingchen is not here since he is the main person involved in this incident. I believe Mu Bailian and Wenzhe should also be with him.

Another day passed and the test results came out. Bai Zhi failed in all subjects except mathematics, so she naturally stayed in Class D6, while Ye Yanliang, who had been studying hard, was naturally assigned to Class A3.

In the academy, Bai Zhi was only familiar with Ye Yanliang. Now that he had gone to Class A3, she sat alone in the corner. Except for occasionally meeting Ye Yanliang during meals, she was alone at other times.

Since Xie Guan was not there, he asked two other teachers, Master Zhang and Master Wang, to teach Mingjing and Mingsuan. Their teaching style was the same as that of Master Li who taught Mingfa. They completely ignored the appearance of the students and just finished teaching the content. When the bell rang, they assigned homework and left immediately without any delay.

The peace of the first day gave Baizhi the illusion that it would be fine if she could continue like this for three years. However, when she went to class the next day, she found that all her textbooks had been torn up. Teacher Zhang scolded her for not taking care of her books and made her stand for the whole day. In the evening, she was so depressed that someone pushed her into the pond from behind on her way back to the dormitory. When she jumped out of the water and looked back and didn't see anyone, she finally realized that she was being targeted.

Fortunately, Bai Zhi had learned to swim in her previous life in order to lose weight, but it was still early spring and the water in the pool was freezing cold. When she finally climbed ashore, she felt that her hands and feet were frozen and her teeth were chattering.

Bai Zhi looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no one around, she tried hard to suppress her trembling body, ran back to the dormitory, changed her wet clothes, and with a pale face, drew a bucket of hot water in the public bathroom and returned to the room. She locked the doors and windows, washed herself from head to toe, wrapped her wet hair with a cloth, and then ran back to the bed and covered herself tightly.

She wanted to relax her body a little, so she dried her hair. Somehow she fell asleep in a daze. She slept soundly and felt extremely uncomfortable, with her body being hot and cold. She didn't know how long she slept, but she could hear someone anxiously calling her name in her ears.

"Brother Bai...Bai Zhi? Are you okay? Bai Zhi, wake up..."

Bai Zhi remembered this voice, it seemed to be Ye Yanliang. She wanted to open her eyes and tell him that she was fine, but her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and she couldn't open them.

"Bai Zhi...Bai Zhi...Can you hear me?"

Suddenly, Bai Zhi felt a chill on her forehead, and heard Ye Yanliang exclaim:

"Why is your forehead so hot? No, wait a minute. I have to go tell the teacher and get a doctor for you."

doctor...

Bai Zhi's mind suddenly became clear. No... she couldn't see a doctor, she couldn't see a doctor here. A surge of anger surged in her chest, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

The familiar ceiling of the bed still appeared before her eyes. Bai Zhi slowly turned her head to look at Ye Yanliang, who was standing up to leave. She raised her hand and grabbed his sleeve, causing him to stumble. She muttered, "No need to see a doctor. Just a good night's sleep will be all right."

Ye Yanliang steadied himself and saw Bai Zhi wake up. He was surprised and said, "Brother Bai, you're finally awake. How did you suddenly develop a high fever?"

Bai Zhi shook her head weakly and did not answer his question. Instead, she repeated what she had just said: "No need to see a doctor, just get some sleep and you'll be fine."

"Your body is so hot. If you don't see a doctor, your body won't be able to bear it." Ye Yanliang said anxiously. Seeing Bai Zhi's face wrinkled with discomfort, he thought for a moment that she was unwilling to take the medicine, so he whispered to her, "Brother Bai, if you are afraid of the bitterness of the medicine, I will go to the dining hall to get you some candy."

After Ye Yanliang finished speaking, he saw Bai Zhi just staring at him blankly without responding, so he thought she agreed, so he stood up and prepared to go out. However, he was pulled back after taking a few steps, and because of inertia, he sat down heavily on the edge of the bed.
