“Pass down the decree, seal the city gates. Search for Consort Shu!” He gritted his teeth
Damn it, did she escape?
Emperor Yan turned around and looked at the Imperial Consort and the others.
“Investigate thoroughly! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find her!” He said sternly.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The guards immediately obeyed.
“Humph!” Emperor Yan flicked his sleeves and left.
After Emperor Yan walked far away, the three consorts leaned closer to the Imperial Consort.
“Your Highness…” Each and every one of them looked terrified.
The Imperial Consort smiled lightly.
“Let’s go.” With that, she returned to her bedroom.
Hmph, why did he lash out on her?
In the front hall.
The courtiers waited for a long time, but Emperor Yan did not return.
They waited for Eunuch Dahu to summon them and tell them that the Emperor was unwell and had returned to his chambers.
Only then did everyone disperse, planning to come again later.
Lin Xiaoyue and the others were also able to return to the Imperial Advisor’s residence.
On the way back, the Sixth Princess went into Lin Xiaoyue’s carriage.
She chattered non-stop.
Lin Xiaoyue was quite patient today.
“Let’s start writing the book tomorrow!” The Sixth Princess said excitedly.
“The match in the afternoon hasn’t even started yet. There’s no hurry.” Lin Xiaoyue replied.
In the second half of the competition, what if Xu Yan and the others also got all ten of their questions correct?
As such, they still had to go another round.
Of course, she felt that the probability of that happening was not high.
“Heh, with you here, how can Chu Jin’s men be a match? They’re definitely going to lose!” The Sixth Princess said immediately.
Her eyes were filled with admiration.
“Do you really have a plan to provide the books to the academy?” The Sixth
Princess suddenly asked Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the Sixth Princess. Seeing that she had no intention of probing, she nodded.
“Yes.”
Since she was given such an opportunity, she felt that she could start a revolution in the field of mathematics.
The first step was to teach Arabic numbers, addition, multiplication, division, and other symbols. Then, she would use the 21st century elementary school textbooks as a template to deepen their knowledge.
If this matter was really done well, it would really benefit the country and the people, and have a far-reaching impact.
And her reputation would be unshakable in the future.
The Sixth Princess’s eyes lit up again.
“That’s great. Then we’ll all listen to your instructions. If you have any tasks, please feel free to arrange them for us!” She quickly said.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“I won’t be polite.”
They finally arrived at the Imperial Advisor’s residence.
After getting off the carriage, Lin Xiaoyue saw Li Xiao.
Her heart finally calmed down.
Then, she ignored the Sixth Princess and brought Li Xiao back to the Plum Garden.
When she returned to the room, the door closed. Immediately after, Lin Xiaoyue rushed over and threw herself into Li Xiao’s arms.
Smelling the reassuring scent on his body, Lin Xiaoyue refused to let go.
Eunuch Dahu had sent a decree saying that Emperor Yan was unwell and had returned to his chambers.
She knew that the matter of Consort Shu leaving the palace had already been exposed.
After that, her heart started to pound. She was afraid that something would happen to Li Xiao.
On the way back, she had to deal with the Sixth Princess in order not to reveal any clues. She was mentally and physically exhausted.
Li Xiao moved, wanting to comfort his wife.
However, he realized that he was being hugged tightly. His wife did not allow him to move at all.
Helpless, Li Xiao could only maintain his posture.
“I’m fine. My sister is fine too. At this time, she should have already left the city.” Li Xiao lowered his voice.
He made his wife worry again.
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue responded in a muffled voice.
However, she still did not let go of Li Xiao.
Li Xiao didn’t move and let his wife hug him.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiaoyue finally had enough of hugging her husband and let go of him.
It was also at this moment that Li Xiao noticed that the corners of Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes were actually a little wet.
His heart ached. Li Xiao reached out, wanting to wipe the tears from his wife’s eyes.
However, just as he reached out, Lin Xiaoyue turned her head and avoided him.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
She grabbed Li Xiao’s hand and walked towards the inner room.
Only then did the couple talk about what they had done in the morning.
“Now that the Emperor has ordered the city to be sealed, can you and His
Highness still leave tomorrow?” After learning about the situation, Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Xiao worriedly.
Li Xiao nodded.
“Yes.”
“Chu Jin’s envoy is still here, the Emperor cannot be too strict. In order to avoid
Chu Jin’s misunderstanding, the city would be unsealed soon.”
“Moreover, His Highness has already mentioned to the Emperor about leaving the capital. It shouldn’t be a problem..”
