When they came out of the mountains, it was already the first month and the new year had passed.
Zhou Heng sent Wei Ling back to the palace and didn’t ask anymore. Even if Wei Ling summoned him, he never went. There were some things that couldn’t be forced.
In February, after Zhou Heng’s confinement ended, Zhou Heng moved out of the East Palace with Su Xiaoling and went to Guiyuan Academy.!!
At the same time, the announcement of the Crown Prince’s renunciation was released.
It was just a few words. ‘Crown Prince Zhou Heng lost his virtue. After thinking about it carefully, I exempt Zhou Heng from the position of Crown Prince and hereby show the world.’
Zhou Heng had lost his position as the Crown Prince, and the Second Prince, Zhou Zhi, was not in the mood for power. He was focused on the spells of the merpeople, and the empress, Wei Ling, was neglected. Su Hua and Su Chong had also requested to be released.
The Qi family guarded the border.
Instantly, the few ministers closest to Zhou Heng left the courtiers and moved their families out of the capital.
They were moving again. Su Xiaolu specially took leave to escort her parents out of the capital.
Su Chong did not return from guarding the border between the Li Dynasty and the Great Zhou last year. When he received the news, he had already asked for an edict to guard the border.
Lin Yaoyao and the children followed Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao to settle down. Su Hua became the magistrate of Wuzhou.
Chen Hu and Madam Qian’s family followed.
Chen Shi and Chen Xing were both Elementary Scholars. Chen Shi was about to start taking the exam, but after Zhou Heng’s matter, he put aside the exam.
Their Chen family and the Su family were connected. When they arrived in Wuzhou, they would take over some of Su Hua’s matters. They would not be idle.
Su Sanlang, Madam Zhao, Chen Hu, and Madam Qian did not need to tire themselves out anymore. They just needed to retire in peace. If they were happy, they could just dig a few plots of land around the courtyard and plant some vegetables.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they were far away from the capital.
February passed when they completely settled down in Wuzhou.
The matter of abolishing the Crown Prince gradually settled down, and everything returned back to normal.
Su Xiaolu, Su Kuo and Little Niu returned to Guiyuan Academy.
It was the 28th year of this world, this year was considered an extraordinary year.
Zhou Heng managed the academy. The other three princes tried their best to fight for the title of the Crown Prince. They only arranged for someone to replace him in the academy. It was mainly to gather information. They did not have the right to speak for the academy’s management.
Su Xiaoling had set up the medicinal herbs concoction class. Any student could ask her to concoct medicinal herbs. After her concoction, the medicinal properties could be preserved perfectly.
Su Xiaolu was obsessed with practicing the sword and imparting medicine. She was about to start taking in disciples, so she paid close attention to every student who attended her class, regardless of age, to see if they were fated.
After a few months of observation, Su Xiaolu took a fancy to a new female disciple this year, Jiang Wanlin. She was eleven years old and was very serious in class.
Su Xiaolu was already prepared to take her in as a disciple.
Su Xiaolu told Su Kuo and Little Niu about this during dinner that night.
Su Kuo immediately raised his hand and said, “Sister, Sister, let me read her fortune first. I learned a lot from Brother Niu this year, but Brother Niu said that meeting also has to be determined by fate. You can’t be casual about it. I was just worried that I couldn’t find someone to read.”
Su Xiaolu wanted to take her in as her disciple. He should become a Little Uncle-Master no matter what.
He could take this opportunity to see how well he had learned.
Little Niu smiled slightly, expressing his helplessness.
Su Xiaolu looked at Su Kuo’s excitement and nodded. “Alright, come with me tomorrow. ”
Su Kuo agreed happily.
He had learned a lot and was waiting for an opportunity to experiment. The entire academy’s training would only start next year. He could not wait any longer. Now, there was finally a chance.
At noon the next day, Su Kuo went to see Jiang Wanlin with Su Xiaolu.
They only observed secretly and did not disturb her.
He happened to see Jiang Wanlin with two disciples of about the same age.
Su Xiaolu and Su Kuo waited quietly.
Seeing the children talking, Su Xiaolu felt that her old habit was acting up again.
She looked at Su Kuo and realized that he was already listening very seriously. Su Xiaolu couldn’t help but laugh. She also focused and listened seriously.
Jiang Wanlin lowered her head and pinched the corner of her shirt with both hands, thinking about something.
The young man beside her, Mu Feng, frowned slightly between the brows. He said, “Wanwan, Lian’er didn’t break it on purpose. She’s already apologized to you. Can’t you forgive her?”
Chen Lian took a step behind Mu Feng and said weakly, “Sister Jiang, I’m sorry.
I really know my mistake.”
Jiang Wanlin still didn’t speak.
She refused to forgive. She refused to say that it was okay.
Tears gradually welled up in Chen Lian’s eyes. She glanced at Mu Feng weakly and tears rolled down her face. She choked and said, “Brother Mu Feng, it’s all my fault. Don’t fall out with Sister Jiang because of me. When I go to train after the new year, I’ll sign up. I’ll definitely compensate Sister Jiang for her golden lock.”
Mu Feng frowned. He looked at Jiang Wanlin and reached out to push her. “Wanwan, quickly say that you don’t want her to compensate. Lian’er is only 11 years old. Her martial arts aren’t deep enough. She can’t go train next year at all. The golden lock is a dead thing. Don’t kill someone because of a dead thing, understand?”
“Wanwan, I promised your parents to take good care of you, but if you’re so insensitive, I won’t like you anymore!”
Mu Feng’s tone became heavier.
Jiang Wanlin looked up at Mu Feng. She bit her lip. It hurt.
Mu Feng also looked at her. In the end, he held Chen Lian’s hand and turned to leave.
Chen Lian turned around and looked at Jiang Wanlin worriedly. She moved her lips and looked apologetic. “Sister Jiang…”
Jiang Wanlin gritted her teeth and waited for Mu Feng and Chen Lian to disappear before her tears fell.
Why was this happening? Chen Lian had lost her precious golden lock, but her fiancé, Mu Feng, sided with Chen Lian?
She felt terrible. She hated Chen Lian.
Jiang Wanlin touched the tears on her face and left.
Su Xiaolu looked at Su Kuo and asked, “Little Kuo, do you see anything?”
Su Xiaolu did not expect this. It looked quite complicated.
She only paid attention to Jiang Wanlin’s advanced understanding of herbs and did not pay attention to the situation of her friends.
Su Kuo also had a complicated expression. He said in embarrassment, “Sister, this little disciple’s life isn’t very good. She has a short life. From the looks of it, she’s going to encounter a huge calamity. She’s about to die. I can’t see anything else. It’s as if she’s shrouded in fog.”
Su Xiaolu was speechless.
No way, she had chosen for so long and finally found someone pleasing to the eye, but she turned out to be a short-lived one. She was about to die just as she wanted to take in a disciple.
Su Xiaolu did not want to give up. She looked at Su Kuo and asked, “Little Kuo, is there no way to remedy this?”
Su Kuo scratched his head. “Uh… Sister, why don’t we go back and ask Brother
Niu? I’ve only learned a little. I haven’t learned how to resolve it yet.”
His sister seemed to really like Jiang Wanlin.. Damn it, he was still not good enough!
