Never divorce, never stop getting rich

"Your Majesty, this is definitely unusual. Those who usually try to smooth things over have also started submitting memorials, not to mention that some of our own people are among them."

"In this matter, I think those memorials may not be without reason."

"How can such a destructive weapon not be in the hands of the imperial court...it is simply too dangerous."

"That's wrong. Trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people you doubt. If you really want to force a woman, isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?"

"Hmph... What's the point of having a conscience? Which is more important, the country or the individual?"

The empress's knuckles tapped lightly on the table. It was a quiet sound, but the imperial study immediately became quiet and everyone shut up.

"When they were earning money for the national treasury, you kept silent. When they were donating military pay to the border, you kept silent. When the rebels wanted to rebel, and they protected the students of the academy from being taken hostage by the rebels, you still kept silent.

Now that he has something good in his hands, you are making a noise, you are jealous, and you want to take away all his wealth..."

As the empress's tone gradually became more severe, the ministers in the court lowered their heads and remained silent. Only a few of them secretly glanced at Prime Minister Pei, making faces and anxiously giving him hints.

"Don't mention this matter again, at least not in the near future. I also hope that those in my court are all intelligent people, not those who are instigated by those with ulterior motives and become passionate, hoping to stand on the top of justice and do banditry.

Okay, everyone, go down. There have been too many things going on recently, and you have all been working hard. Go back and rest."

After the empress finished speaking, she saw that the expressions of her trusted ministers still showed no remorse. She suddenly felt very tired and simply drove them all out.

Prime Minister Pei said nothing, but silently closed the door of the imperial study.

"You also think I'm a womanizer?"

The empress's tired voice sounded slowly.

"If you look at it from the Prime Minister's perspective, it is indeed true... After all, for the sake of Tang State, what Anshun Hou's wife did was too shocking and beyond everyone's cognition.

To be disrespectful, based on the news I have seen, if it is all true, as long as this lady has any ideas, then the Tang Kingdom, or even the seven kingdoms, will be unstoppable and can be taken into her possession.

By then, the weather will change drastically, the war will be ruthless, and the world will be in chaos.

These are things we cannot afford.”

Prime Minister Pei walked up to the empress and analyzed calmly.

"But, I'm just your man now. I think what you think and what you think. You know that Madam Anshun is not that kind of person, and all these things she created were just to protect the academy... And, you've discovered that she has no intention of fighting...

She and Yongle are truly friends, you can’t bear it…”

The Empress's expression softened as she thought of her daughter. She took Prime Minister Pei's hand and said, "Watching from the sidelines is the greatest gift I can give to Madam Anshun."

Because of the empress's attitude of ignoring everything, the voices in the court were finally suppressed. No one was a fool, and no one would really follow the example of the censor and get killed on the spot. Since the empress had handled it coldly, most people lay low, thinking about waiting and seeing the situation clearly. However, the parents of the children in the academy increased the frequency of visiting their children in private.

"Your body has fully recovered, and it's time for me to set off." Miss A Wu pushed Jinxiu out from beside her and said with a smile, "Although Jinxiu is young, she has always been very talented in medical skills. As long as the problem is not too serious, she can solve it."

"Girl! I..." Jinxiu had already thought about separation in the future, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon. She hadn't even had time to grow up fully.

"Don't let Madam laugh at me. I'm just going back to take care of my brother's affairs... After all, it's our sect's business. We can't just let him die in silence. The news of his death must be spread, otherwise it will cause trouble for Madam and our sect."

Ah Wu walked over to Qian Qiansui, opened his arms and hugged her, patted her back gently, and whispered in her ear: "I know that after this separation, it may be difficult for us to meet in the future. If you feel you need me, please write to me. After this is over, I also want to follow Madam to see the outside world."

Qian Qiansui first opened her eyes slightly, then smiled bitterly. It seemed that many people had ideas about the changes in the court during this period, and the people around her were very smart. She could tell from the way Han Zhi secretly packed up his belongings and dismissed some of the guards who were still concerned about him in Tang State.

"I'll wait for you in Taozhou!" Qian Qiansui hugged her back as a promise. It was impossible for her to take all the people in the academy away, such as the three in the kitchen and the teachers in the academy. However, under the care of Princess Yongle and the protection of Teacher Cao, Panshi Academy was restored to its original state. She believed that the teaching materials she left for the academy during this period were enough for them to cultivate talents other than the imperial examinations.

Miss Awu nodded heavily, smiled, and left with Jinxiu.

Not long after, the island owner Xiao Qing did not hide from people too much. He brought a caravan to the academy and took away a batch of goods from the academy one after another. Some people came to inquire about it, and even secretly tested it, but they did not find anything wrong. What was taken away were ordinary paper, some soaps, books and other commodities that are now circulating in the market.

After a while, Qian Qiansui arranged a convoy of cars in the name of traveling to the south, and brought some teachers of miscellaneous subjects in the academy and some students, calling it an "autumn outing".

The carriage drove towards the pavilion in the suburbs. When Qian Qiansui saw Princess Yongle, he quickly got off the carriage.

Princess Yongle seemed very unhappy, her eyes reddened, and she felt very aggrieved. Seeing Qian Qiansui, she curled her lips and said, "Sister Qian, I'm sorry, I'm young and my words don't count, but those people in the court...my mother doesn't want me to participate."

"Why are you apologizing to me? You didn't bring me these bad things. Besides, traveling is what I've always wanted to do. Staying in the capital all the time will make me stiff. It's better to go out and take a look, walk around, and come back after a while."

She had thought of this day since the first time she wanted to research thermal weapons. She had also been full of ambition in the middle of the night, wanting to completely turn the world into a world controlled by women. However, the horror of war was something she could foresee and could not endure. She needed these thermal weapons to have a deterrent effect, but she could not and must not easily use them as tools of killing.

Not only can she not do it, no one in this world can do it.

"Will you come back?" Princess Yongle asked tearfully.

"Of course, my academy is still here. If I don't come back, what will happen to Vice President Li and the others? What will happen to the children?" Qian Qiansui said half-truthfully, holding Princess Yongle's hand and saying, "But before I return from my travels, could you please help me keep an eye on the academy and don't let anyone else ruin our home?"
