The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

"Did I come here today to talk about matters concerning my children?" The Emperor Emeritus glared at Jing Zhiyuan.

Jing Zhiyuan: Didn't you mention my daughter? Why is the Emperor Emeritus still the same old man!

"I fear that if the Cangbei Kingdom finds out you have returned to the capital, they will stir up trouble again. The Northern Nights have suffered from severe drought for the past two years, resulting in reduced crop yields. The civil officials are also calling for troop reductions. We already have enough internal troubles, and I fear external threats as well! Although the Emperor has issued an edict ordering General Xue to keep the news under wraps, how long can that be kept secret?"

Jing Zhiyuan said, "As far as this humble subject knows, the weather in Cangbei has been favorable for the past two years!"

"Do you have any clues about who framed you?" the retired emperor asked.

Jing Zhiyuan replied, "It's hard to say. There are two possibilities. One is that it's someone or some people in the court, but I always feel that it's aimed at the War King. If he kills me, the War King will lose his support. The other is that Cangbei has a spy in Beiye who wants me dead!"

The retired emperor nodded; he thought so too.

Jing Zhiyuan raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, if you still wish to find help for the War King, tell him that he must treat my two children well!"

"What do you need help with? To start a rebellion? You're just doing this useless stuff. Your daughter is always talking nonsense. Who would dare marry her off to the War King? They might not even know how they died one day!" The Emperor Emeritus rolled his eyes at Jing Zhiyuan. This guy was intelligent and brave, decisive in killing, but he cared more about his wife and children than himself, probably because he had been an orphan since childhood.

"Do you think that if Cangbei knew you were imprisoned, would another war break out?"

Jing Zhiyuan sighed, "After so many years of war, the people have suffered the most. How can a country be strong when the people suffer? Even if we win, the cities we seize need to be rebuilt, and the displaced people need to be settled. Compared with the gold and silver we plunder, these things are obviously insignificant!"

"If Cangbei comes again, they will only want to take back the Jizhou we have built, and also rob us of our money and food, and things they don't have. But how can we, Beiye, give it up so easily? So even if we win by exhausting our resources and manpower, it may not be a true victory!"

"I understand what you're saying, but do those bastards in Cangbei understand?" the Emperor Emeritus said angrily.

Jing Zhiyuan: I haven't finished speaking yet!

“If they attack, we will fight back. Jizhou and Qingzhou have always been in a state of war preparedness, after all, they are located on the border. Although Jizhou has not had good weather in the past two years, it has not suffered any disasters. My 20,000 personal guards have been training while stockpiling food and building fortifications.”

Hearing Jing Zhiyuan say this, the Emperor Emeritus could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, how are Xue'er and the War King doing?"

"Huh? Aren't they getting along great? Didn't you see? That kid even pleaded for you! Alright! You...you stay here and reflect on your actions! I'm leaving!"

Jing Zhiyuan "..."

In the morning, Manager Cai took Grandma Zhang and Zhang Ying'er to the Prince's Mansion.

Jingxue was talking to the two shadow guards brought by Shadow A. Jingxue was very worried about Jingze's safety. She arranged for the two shadow guards to pick up and drop off Jingze and An'an at school, and to teach the two children kung fu when they had time.

Then she began to perform surgery on Grandma Zhang. It was still Runyue who was guarding the door, but today there was an extra Zhang Ying'er. The little girl was very sensible and sat obediently next to Runyue.

It took Jingxue more than an hour to complete the surgery. There was no other way; she was juggling multiple roles, and she had only finished all the preparations last night!

Otherwise it would take even longer.

Seeing Jingxue come out of the room, Zhang Ying'er from the outer room asked, "Noble sister, can my grandmother see now?"

Jingxue smiled and said to her, "Ying'er, the surgery was a success! Your grandma won't see it right away; she'll need a few more days to recover. You can stay here for the next few days. I've already arranged rooms for you, and someone will help you take care of grandma, okay?"

“Okay!” Zhang Ying’er knelt down and said, “Thank you, dear sister! My mother told me to kowtow to you.”

Before Jingxue could speak, Runyue pulled Zhang Ying up, saying, "Ying'er, my young lady doesn't like kneeling all the time, get up!"

"Ying'er, your grandma hasn't woken up yet. You can go in and see her. I'll have someone come over in a bit to help you take care of her."

"it is good!"

Jingxue then said to Runyue, "Yueyue, go and call Lidong to come and take care of Grandma Zhang! I already taught her how to do it last night."

Leap Month nodded and went out.

Just as Jingxue was about to get a glass of water, Xiaoman opened the door and came in, saying, "Miss, are you done with your work? Prince Qin, the Fourth Prince, and another young master have arrived. An'an said that the young master is the headmaster of their academy. They are waiting for you in the main hall. I've brought you some tea."

Jingxue: What day is it today? We came as a group.

"I'm done with my work. How long have they been here?" Jingxue said as she walked out.

Xiaoman quickly caught up, "We've been here for over half an hour!"

Upon arriving at the main hall, I was indeed greeted by three handsome men.

Lu Zijing was wearing a moon-white thin cotton brocade robe today. He was also quite handsome, with a fair complexion and a dashing appearance!

Qin Jing, standing beside him, always had rosy lips and white teeth, exuding an air of wealth and nobility, while Ye Musi was refined and handsome, radiating an air of nobility!

These guys are all born into the right family!

After exchanging greetings, Jingxue took the seat of honor. "I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. I just performed eye surgery on an elderly man!"

Lu Zijing received a message yesterday from his sister, the Empress, telling him to come and see Princess Zhan to discuss sponsoring the academy.

He had just met Nan Ze'an and learned that his sister was the Princess Consort of War. This reminded him of the extraordinary woman from that day.

Today, since we're staying at home, we don't plan to go out. Jingxue only untied her bun and tied it into a high ponytail after her surgery!

Qin Jing and Ye Musi were already used to Jing Xue like this, and Lu Zijing wasn't a pedantic old scholar, so they didn't find anything wrong with it.

“My father told me that my sister and the eldest prince were saved by the Princess Consort, so her medical skills must be superb!” Lu Zijing spoke first.

"You flatter me, Headmaster Lu!"

Jingxue didn't want to hear those flattering words. "Headmaster Lu, you must already know what I said to Her Majesty the Empress yesterday. I am willing to sponsor Baichuan Academy!"

After overhearing their conversation, Qin Jing said, "Sister-in-law, should we leave for a moment?"

"No need! You can all be witnesses for us!"

Qin Jing and Ye Musi exchanged a glance and nodded.

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness. This is the academy's annual account. Because we often waive tuition fees for some impoverished students, that's why..." Lu Zijing took an account book and handed it to Jingxue.

Jingxue took it, flipped through it, and said, "I understand what Headmaster Lu is saying, and I believe in your character!"

“I admire Dean Lu’s good deeds. The reason I am willing to sponsor Baichuan Academy is that I want to use the academy to help some poor children so that they can study and understand the principles.”

“I just checked, and the academy has a shortfall of about a thousand taels of silver every year, yet it can still operate normally. I believe this is all thanks to the headmaster’s tireless efforts to secure the funds for the children!”
