Chapter 440 So It Was The National Teacher
It is not uncommon for the police to have such a detailed map of the palace in their hands. Some of them have been circled with a Chinese ink pen, but after a rough look, there are still seven or eight places, four or five of which are in the north of the palace. .There are three other places, one in Zichen Palace, one in Cuiwei Palace, and one...Xu Jiaoxu pointed at that place. If I remember correctly, this should be the place where the mysterious national teacher lives, right?

Zichen Palace is the emperor's residence, and the national teacher is a person who is highly valued by the emperor. It is normal for these two places to be closely guarded when it is critical.

But this Cuiwei Palace... Wang Wan, a concubine who has fallen out of favor and is imprisoned, what's the point?
But this Cuiwei Palace is the farthest from the north of the palace among these three places.

Xu Jiao lit those spots, his eyes were as dim as candlelight, making it difficult to see his inner thoughts.

There were three louder beeps, and someone was sent from the Eldest Princess next door, saying that the Eldest Princess had finally recovered from her fever, Xu Jiao let out a long sigh of relief, washed up and went to sleep.

After a whole night without talking, she got up early the next morning, packed up and went to the Eldest Princess' room, unexpectedly the Eldest Princess was still asleep, and Aunt Qiao stood by, looking a little anxious.

Seeing that the eldest princess was flushed, Xu Jiao raised his hand to touch her forehead, the tentacles were hot, Xu Jiao's brows immediately frowned, "Why is it burning again?"

"I don't know, the fever had subsided when I slept last night, so the servant girl closed her eyes for a while, who knew that when she woke up, seeing His Highness's condition was not good, she was going to preach to the imperial physician, who Knowing that His Highness woke up again, he grabbed the servant girl and said that she is fine, and let her drink a bowl of the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician yesterday." Aunt Qiao said with red eyes.

"Here comes the medicine." At this moment, a palace maid hurriedly came from outside the palace carrying the boiled medicine.

Xu Jiao lowered her head and gently shook her head like a princess, "Mother, wake up, I've taken the medicine, mother..."

The eldest princess woke up in a daze from being shaken by her. She looked at Xu Jiao with a pair of eyes, a little dazed, as if she hadn't woken up. After a while, she regained her spirit and struggled to get up.

Xu Jiao hurriedly helped her up with Aunt Qiao, one left and one right, and stuffed a big pillow behind her. Xu Jiao reached out to take the medicine bowl, scooped up the medicine soup himself, blew it cool one spoon at a time, and then Spoon by spoon, it was delivered to the lips of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was cooperative, she opened her mouth obediently, and drank the whole bowl of medicine one gulp at a time.

Xu Jiao pinched the veil and wiped the corners of her lips for her, before she said, "I'm fine, it's just that my body is useless, and I can't get up after a little cold. You don't have to worry about me, it's just on the other side of the mourning hall. I want you to worry more."

The eldest princess seemed to expend a lot of energy when she said these words, but after a while, she felt a little out of breath, and her flushed face was drained of blood in an instant, turning pale.

Xu Jiao hurriedly leaned forward to comfort her, "I understand, mother, don't worry, just take a good rest."

The eldest princess was still groggy, and she fell asleep again after lying down.

Seeing this, Xu Jiao frowned, and said to Aunt Qiao in a low voice, "Auntie doesn't have to follow me today, it's better to stay by Mother's side and take care of her. If there is anything wrong with her, don't listen to Mother. Immediately, I invited the imperial physician to come to see it, and let me know by the way."

Aunt Qiao refused to mention it.Xu Jiao looked at the eldest princess worriedly again, seeing that she had fallen asleep, and tucked the quilt for her, then Xu Jiao got up lightly, and went to Fengxian Hall with Lingxue and Wen Tao.

In the Fengxian Palace, the spirit of crying is being suppressed. These women who are inside and outside are usually pampered. After a few days, they are a little bit overwhelmed, and many of them have reported illness. In addition, the royal family of Wei Dynasty is now declining, so it is inevitable that they have their own ideas. The number of people is sparse.No matter how much Emperor Xian wanted to grandly organize the funeral of the Empress Dowager, there were still things beyond his control.

"The empress dowager is also a person who has been honored all her life. I didn't expect that she would go so deserted when she came here." After seeing her, she probably thought of the Pingnan Palace, and she sighed with emotion for a moment.

Xu Jiao, on the other hand, looked very cold. Hearing the crying, he hummed softly, "It's all hypocrisy, so it's fine if you don't listen. But... if it were me, I would kneel like this to someone who has nothing to do with me." , I still have to cry every day, and I will not be willing. Speaking of it, it is all caused by class inequality. Unfortunately, it will take many years to eliminate the inequality between classes..." Xu Jiao said again I sighed.

Wen Tao and Negative Snow looked at each other, and the princess was saying something they didn't understand again, what class?What inequality?

"Who is it?" At this moment, Wen Tao and Neg Xue shouted together, then suddenly turned their heads and looked behind them.

Xu Jiao also turned his head and looked away.

The target was a middle-aged man in Taoist robes, who looked very fairy-like. The man had a pair of deep eyes, squinted slightly at Xu Jiao, and smiled clearly, but the smile was in his eyes, but Always felt a little weird.

"Mistress Yingyue?" The man called out in a low voice.

Looking at the man's attire in front of him, Xu Jiao had vaguely guessed his identity, but with a polite but puzzled smile on his face, he asked, "Your Excellency?"

"My name is Yunqing! His Majesty Meng will not give up, and he will be regarded as the national teacher." Daoist Yunqing flicked the whisk in his hand lightly, with a light smile on his face.

Xu Jiao suddenly realized, with surprise and apology on his face, he hurriedly said respectfully, "It turns out that he is the national teacher. He has always only heard of his name, but he has always been stingy. Today, I finally saw him. I am really disrespectful! I hope the national teacher will forgive me, don't blame me."

"Where the princess said, those who don't know are not guilty! Speaking of it, this is the first time the old Taoist has seen the princess, and he didn't expect it..." Taoist Yun Qing looked at Xu Jiao, paused meaningfully, and his eyes were even more serious. It is difficult to distinguish, and after a while, he said quietly, "What the princess said just now, the old Taoist deeply agrees with the theory of class inequality. However, the old Taoist believes that one day, the world will change greatly. At that time, everyone is equal. , democracy and openness, especially you girls, you can also read and practice calligraphy at an early age, regardless of rich or poor, and when you grow up, you don't have to be confined to the inner house, you will have your own world."

Xu Jiao's heart trembled when he heard this, and he could hardly control the horror in his heart. He barely suppressed it, and looked at Taoist Yun Qing with surprised and curious eyes, "What the national teacher said is good, but... ...is it really possible?"

Daoist Yun Qing looked at her deeply, and smiled suddenly, "Of course I will. I didn't expect that the old Taoist and the princess had a very close relationship, and they hit it off right away... If there is a chance someday, the old Taoist will invite the princess to drink tea!"

Xu Jiao responded politely with a smile, Taoist Yun Qing didn't make any fuss, said two more specious words, and left.

The smile on Xu Jiao's face faded, and Xue Xue frowned suspiciously and said, "Why does this national teacher always think that half of what he says is left half, as if he always wants people to guess."

"National teacher, if you don't speak so inscrutable, how can you become a national teacher?" There were two sneers in the smile at the corner of Wen Tao's mouth.

"But... can what he said really come true?" Negative Xue turned her head to look at Xu Jiao, her eyes were full of hope. For women, the world that Taoist Yun Qing described just now is too tempting, although It sounds fantastic.

"It will come true!" Xu Jiao looked at the direction Taoist Yun Qing was leaving, and said in a sonorous tone, but it will be many years later.

"The princess said yes, so it will be!" Neg Xue listened, but suddenly laughed.

Xu Jiao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her, and saw that her eyes were full of vitality, as if she would believe it without hesitation even if she said that the sky would fall.

Xu Jiao's heart was indescribably complicated, and he smiled slightly and said, "It will be realized, but we are not women confined to the inner house, don't forget, when the things here are over, we still have a lot of things to do." Do it, so we must be self-reliant and self-reliant, so that our future can have infinite possibilities!"

"The Princess is right." Xu Jiao's subtext, both Xue Xue and Wen Tao, naturally understood, and they nodded as they deserved it.

Xu Jiao also smiled slightly, but there was a shadow in his eyes.

After staying in Fengxian Hall for half a day, Xu Jiao heard a lot of rumors, some whispered that there were ghosts in the palace last night, and some said that the Taimiao suddenly caught fire last night, although no one dared to blame these two things on the Empress Dowager quotes, but the words contain distinct deep meanings.

Emperor Xian, on the other hand, disappeared after he showed his face at noon, but Xu Jiao happened to have something to do with him, so he called someone to ask.

"Your Majesty?" The man happened to be Kang Neishi, and he knew about Emperor Xian's whereabouts. "Your Majesty heard that His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was not feeling well, so she walked away, presumably going to Anfu Palace."

Hearing this, Xu Jiao frowned slightly, and answered a few insignificant words with Kang Neishi with a smile, then turned around with Ling Xue and Wen Tao, took two steps, and thought of something, but she stopped suddenly With footsteps, eyes rolled slightly, and he raised his voice and said to Wen Tao, "I don't know what's going on with my mother at the moment, and I'm a little worried. So, you can go back to Anfu Palace and have a look for me!" High enough for Kang Nei who was not far behind to hear clearly.

Connell really stopped and glanced over here.

Wen Tao and Ling Xue also looked at each other, and saw the same puzzlement in each other's eyes, just like the Princess, they thought she was going back to Anfu Palace in person, why...

When she was full of doubts, she saw Xu Jiao winking at her quietly, Wen Tao suddenly understood, answered "Yes", then turned and left.

Xu Jiao turned around and went in another direction with Negative Snow.The side hall of Fengxian Hall was tidied up for the weeping wives inside and outside to rest temporarily. Xu Jiao could barely be regarded as a relative of the emperor, so she got a room alone. She went into the room with her maid. To take a break.

On the other side, Wen Tao was ordered to go back to Anfu Palace, but when she reached the gate of the side hall, she was stopped by Gan Nei, who was guarding the gate, "Your Majesty is talking with His Royal Highness Eldest Princess inside!"

"The maidservant has overstepped." Wen Tao hurriedly lowered her eyes, "It's true that my princess is worried about Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Since she can't go in, she might bother the eunuch Gan to tell the maidservant what is going on with the maidservant now? The maidservant will go back It's better to answer the princess." Wen Tao's tone was sincere and flattering.

Attendant Gan is here to guard the left and right, and there is nothing wrong with her. Seeing her flattering and obedient face, he murmured for a while, "Okay... Her Royal Highness just felt a little feverish again. Your Majesty came down, and immediately called the imperial physician to see her again. Let the imperial doctor change the prescription..."

While Gan Neishi was talking with Wen Tao, a figure quickly rushed into the tea room not far away.

Xu Jiao also lived in Anfu Palace for a few days, and was very familiar with the side hall where the eldest princess lived. In order to facilitate the eldest princess to use water in winter, a small door was opened in the tea room, leading directly to the clean room of the eldest princess' bedroom.

She came here in such a sneaky way, naturally she couldn't just push the door and enter, but through a door, she might not be able to hear the conversation between the eldest princess and Emperor Xian in the room.

The plan was very successful, the people in the clean room must have been cleared out, and Emperor Xian obviously didn't know the secrets in the tea room, so he ignored it.Xu Jiao quietly touched the door, put his ears on the door, pricked up his ears and concentrated, and as expected, he heard the voices of Emperor Xian and Princess Chang from inside the door.

Although the voice was a little quiet through a door, it was still clear.

"...Miss Huang hasn't thought about it yet?" It was Emperor Xian's voice, faint and cool, revealing a trace of impatient coldness.

"Ben Gong said, if you want Ben Gong to come out and identify Huiming, you must at least let Ben Gong see her first. I must ask her about what happened that day and hear her admit it. Otherwise, , a person in this palace who was not present at all, how can he have the qualifications to identify her?" The tone of the eldest princess is also cold, and there is a little weakness.

Xu Jiao can imagine the state of the eldest princess without looking at it. She is still sick, but she must not show any weakness in front of Emperor Xian.

Facing the elder sister of a compatriot, Emperor Xian obviously didn't even have the slightest concern. He snorted, "Sister Huang, what does this mean? I have told Sister Huang the truth of that day, is it possible that Sister Huang still has a heart?" What kind of luck? If she saw Huiming, and she quibbled to Huangjie and refused to admit that it was her who killed the queen mother, would Huangjie still believe her?"

"If it really was her poison, what's the need for her to dare to do it and refuse to admit it?" Compared with Emperor Xian's excitement and anger, the eldest princess's tone was calm to a little cold.

Maybe it was because he was too indifferent, and he angered Emperor Xian again, "Sister Huang's words are nice, but after all, she just believes in her or not in me. It's been like this since childhood. Obviously, we are the same mother, but you treat her like a mother. Zilai is more affectionate than my own younger brother, as if you and her are biological sisters, but I have become an outsider." Emperor Xian snorted coldly.

The eldest princess coughed twice, and when she regained her breath, her tone became even colder. She didn't pester Emperor Xian's words just now, but she could not hide her tiredness, "The emperor doesn't have to say these things. , how this palace treats you, this palace knows in my heart, how the emperor treats this palace, this palace also knows, the emperor should know better than anyone else, what kind of mother and compatriots are here now, blood relationship, sibling love Yes, doesn't the emperor find it ridiculous?"
