Yu'er chewed the pills loudly, with an expression of enjoyment on her face, as if the pills were delicious.
Xiao Yuchen and Wen Jin both showed infinite indulgence in their children, holding their shoulders and watching the show.
Yu Fei sighed, "Okay, I don't dare to eat it. The poison master said that you are his master."
Yu'er chuckled, "It's easy to talk!"
Yu Fei sighed again and told a piece of news that both Wen Jin and Xiao Yuchen did not expect.
"The Emperor has suffered a stroke."
"I found out the information from Tai Hospital."
Yu Fei is from Yaowang Valley. She has a personal relationship with Taiyuan Hospital. It is normal for her to get information.
Wen Jin immediately looked at Xiao Yuchen.
I saw that his face was calm, more planning than sadness and worry.
The assassin last night probably stabbed his heart.
"How is the emperor doing now? Is he seriously ill?" Wen Jin asked.
Yu Fei said, "The imperial hospital has no good solution. Moreover, several of the imperial doctors whom the emperor trusted most before were all demoted a while ago."
"Either he was expelled from the Imperial Hospital, or he was beaten with a cane, or he was reprimanded to the point of voluntarily resigning..."
Yu Fei said and shook his head, "The people who are diagnosing the pulse in front of the imperial court now are all the imperial doctors who were unknown in the past and whose medical skills are not known to be doing the diagnosis and treatment."
"In terms of specialties, their specialty is not treating strokes. I'm afraid they are good at drilling camps."
Yu Fei clicked his tongue and asked again, "Do people become confused when they get old?"
It is disrespectful to say that the emperor is old and confused.
But no one in the carriage cared. After Yu Fei finished speaking, he shrugged.
"It's up to you whether you want to go back or not! The emperor is old and suddenly suffered a stroke. This power is about to fall away! Now is a critical period for mastering power!"
"I didn't want to say it just now because... sister finally had the opportunity to go to Yaowang Valley!"
"If I don't go now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to go again in the future, right? Yaowang Valley is really, really beautiful! If I go, I will definitely like it!"
Xiao Yuchen's eyes flashed, as if he was thinking about a plan.
Wen Jin asked, "What happened to the girls' school after we left?"
Yu Fei chuckled, "The Women's School and Chongwen Academy held a debate competition! Don't tell me, this debate is really useful! It attracted a lot of girls from noble families who have been studying since childhood to come to the Women's School!"
Noble families have clan schools, and some families also allow girls to study in clan schools with their brothers.
But girls who have the opportunity to study are very rare, and among them, there are even fewer girls who are willing to study and can read well.
They are unwilling to read, not because they are lazy, but because it is useless for them to read!
They cannot take part in the imperial examination like men, and they cannot save the country, the people, and themselves... Reading it can only be a hobby.
But the debate is an opportunity, an opportunity to prove yourself.
It proves that women are no worse than men in terms of thinking, speech, and logic! Men should have the opportunities, so should they!
If girls can understand this, they will not remain indifferent.
Those girls who have ambitions and have studied must seize this opportunity!
"The debate was really exciting!" Yu Fei was beaming, "The venue for the debate is the Women's School, the home ground of the Women's School!"
"Almost all the literati in Kyoto went! Fortunately, the construction of the women's school has not stopped, and the auditorium has been built by then, so it can accommodate so many people!"
"The girls did really well!"
Yu Fei gave a thumbs up, "Although we lost two and won one, both the judges at the time, Mr. Qi and Mr. Zeng, as well as the old scholars of Chongwen Academy... all praised the performance of the female students!"
"This incident has caused a huge sensation among the literati circles in Kyoto!"
"Oh, it's a pity that sister was not there at the time and couldn't see it with her own eyes!"
"Since the debate competition, female students have suddenly flourished. Girls have also become more motivated. Now they are studying hard, and it seems that it is not just for money!"
Wen Jin smiled, "Yes, I study for the sake of honor, for the reputation of all women!"
"Didn't Grandpa Huang free his hands to take care of the girls' school?" Yu asked in a childish voice.
There was silence in the carriage, and no one expected that Yu'er could actually understand these interests.
Yu Fei coughed lightly and said, "Sister is not in Kyoto. He may have relaxed his vigilance and thought that the remaining women alone would not be able to achieve success. So..."
"Furthermore, the Chongwen Academy and the literary circles were greatly influenced by Mr. Qi, and they wrote articles one after another to praise this matter. The emperor must also consider public opinion."
"After all, those literati are not ordinary people."
Xiao Yuchen coughed lightly.
The carriage immediately became quiet again.
Yu Fei realized later that... he seemed to have gone too far.
My father had a stroke and was bedridden. She was actually very happy and talked about the competition happily...
Xiao Yuchen indeed turned his gaze to her.
Yu Fei was about to apologize...
Xiao Yuchen said, "Is the news accurate? Is it a scam? After all, everyone knows that you have a good relationship with Prince Huai's Mansion. Could someone want to take advantage of this to trick us into returning to Beijing, and then... catch a turtle in a jar?"
When Yu'er heard this, she immediately quit, "I'm not a turtle! Neither is my mother-in-law!"
He stared at his father with wide eyes.
Xiao Yuchen: "...an analogy! This is just an analogy!"
Yu'er rolled her eyes, "For example, daddy is a turtle?"
Xiao Yuchen: "...I was wrong."
Although his analogy was inappropriate, his suspicions were justified.
What if this news is false and the purpose is to trick them into returning to Beijing? Then wouldn't it be in vain for them to come all this way?
Do you want to go back and throw yourself into a trap?
Yu Fei nodded, although she felt that she would not be deceived.
But to be on the safe side, the group did not go back home immediately. Instead, they continued to march towards Chaolincheng at a snail's pace.
Yu Fei was quite happy, "Yu'er, do you want to visit Yaowang Valley? My grandfather, and your apprentice Wu Po Master, are all in Yaowang Valley now."
She would be even happier if the carriage could go faster.
No matter how slow the speed is, we are still moving forward.
They arrived at Lincheng at noon.
According to previous habits, they always have to rest for a few days when they go to a larger city.
Lincheng was no exception and received them.
It seems to be a wealthy local businessman. The guest rooms are very spacious and the courtyard setting is like a garden.
But before the group had settled down, Xiao Yuchen's eyes and ears in Kyoto sent a message.
Xiao Yuchen took the secret letter and found Wen Jin with a solemn expression.
Wen Jin looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yuchen handed her the secret letter.
In just one line, "The Emperor has suffered a stroke, please return soon."
Wen Jin raised his head and said, "It's true."
Xiao Yuchen took a deep breath and said, "This is the information channel I cultivated when I realized that the Imperial City Division was not fully usable by me."
"Because at that time, I still had the Imperial City Division in my hands, so by establishing this channel, I was standing on the shoulders of giants. The accuracy of the information will not be worse than that of the Imperial City Division."
Wen Jin nodded, "Yu Fei also believes in this... It seems that my father's stroke is true."
Xiao Yuchen pursed his lips and looked deep.
Wen Jin held his hand and said, "Let's go back. After playing for so long, it's time to relax."
