May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

The emperor did not respond, but Huyan Zhuo was not in a hurry. He even changed into the attire of a Da Zhao person, as if he wanted to integrate into Da Zhao.

He would either stroll around the streets or immerse himself in brothels for days and nights at a time, appearing completely absorbed in wine and women.

On the other hand, things didn't stay peaceful for more than a few days before another incident suddenly occurred.

Early in the morning, the female official came to the general's mansion in person.

Wen Yuanshu came out to see her personally. Seeing that she was so anxious that she couldn't even sit still, she knew that something serious had happened, and she took bigger steps: "My lady."

"Miss Wen," the female official said anxiously as soon as she saw her, "Something terrible has happened! Bai Tong and the others sent a message to the girls' school saying they're not feeling well and can't come!"

The six people in total suddenly couldn't come, and the female official was really uneasy, feeling that something serious must have happened, so she came over in person.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanshu immediately realized that something was wrong.

It's one thing if one person is feeling unwell, but how can six people be unwell at the same time?

This most likely means something bad has happened.

Wen Yuanshu hurriedly ordered a carriage to be prepared, then looked at the female official and asked, "Has everything been arranged at the girls' school?"

The female official nodded: "It's all arranged."

Wen Yuanshu then said, "I know where Baitong and the others live. Let's go and see them together."

"Yes."

"Chunhua, send someone to Xinglin Hall to invite a few more doctors to Baitong."

Chunhua responded and quickly turned and left.

The servants in the general's mansion were very efficient. In no time, the carriage was ready, and Chunhua returned with the message. The three of them then rode together in the carriage to Baitong's residence.

On the way, the female official still looked a little frightened: "Miss, you don't know, when I heard this news so early in the morning, my heart sank."

She wasn't exaggerating.

"Fortunately, we didn't ask them all to teach singing and dancing. Instead, we assigned a few to teach calligraphy and painting. Now, we can manage by balancing both sides. Otherwise, those women who are learning singing and dancing wouldn't be able to attend classes today."

That would be equivalent to wasting someone else's entire day.

And it could take several days.

That would be a very big deal.

The carriage traveled smoothly and at a considerable speed, arriving at the entrance of Bai Tong's courtyard in just fifteen minutes.

Chunhua knocked a few times, and a little girl came and opened the door.

The young girl looked to be sixteen years old, with a very pretty face: "Girl, you've arrived."

Wen Yuanshu nodded.

She recognized the little girl: "How are Baitong and the others?"

As Aqing led them to the backyard, she said, "They ate something bad, but they've stabilized now. However, they're still weak and are sleeping right now."

Upon hearing that it was nothing serious, Wen Yuanshu breathed a sigh of relief: "She's been perfectly fine, how could she suddenly eat something bad?"

Aqing sighed: "They've been coming back too late lately, maybe the things I left for them got cold... I don't know."

Wen Yuanshu sighed.

Then there's nothing we can do about it.

At this moment, the doctors from Xinglintang arrived.

Four or five people came.

Upon seeing the doctor, Aqing's expression immediately became somewhat strange.

Seeing that she seemed a little nervous, Wen Yuanshu said, "I heard that Baitong and the others are sick. These are doctors from Xinglintang, who are among the best in the capital. I thought I'd ask them to come and take a look, just to be on the safe side."

“But…” Aqing unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, “But their condition has stabilized, they should be fine after a good night’s sleep, so we don’t need to trouble so many people anymore, right?”

Wen Yuanshu said, "That's true, but since the doctors are here, let's have them take a look."

The female official nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, since they are teachers at the girls' school, the school should take care of them when something happens. Besides, if they don't recover soon, the girls' school will be short-staffed."

Upon hearing this, Aqing quickly replied, "If the girls' school is short-staffed, sir, I dance very well, no worse than anyone else. I can temporarily fill in for them."
