REINCARNATION GODDESS OF MEDICINE
41. Footing Stone
There have been many things that happened in the past 1 month, it has been 1 month since the scandal made by Nangong Xi and Chang Qiao Ye.
As expected, Nangong Xi was still fine but Chang Qiao Ye was not in good shape, there were many people who wanted his death.
But, Chang Rui did not feel any pity at all for knowing that all these problems started from Chang Qiao Ye himself.
If all these punishments were enough, how could he possibly be able to calm the soul of the body owner who was forced to leave due to Chang Qiao Ye's bad behavior.
Chang Qiao Ye asked his servants to daily beat the owner of the body to death, how could all these things be enough to avenge Chang Qiao Ye's 'goodness ?
In this Empire, there was something called the Imperial Academy, where scholars would take exams there to gain positions in government.
These righteous and stubborn scholars, had been protesting for 3 days in front of the Chang Palace and House of Families to kill Chang Qiao Ye.
"Kill the fox that has seduced the Crown Prince ! Keep the Crown Prince away from a deceptive fox of destruction ! We will not stop kneeling until the Empire wants to take action !" Shouted them.
Chang Rui was there in men's clothes and standing in the middle of the crowd, behind him were Qinlin and Qiaoling who were walking using a veil to conceal their identities.
"Miss, are you going to take action on this ?" Ask Qinlin.
"What should I say ? Don't tell me I'm cruel. People who know will think that I provoked the people of the Imperial Academy. But, in the end, it wasn't me. " Chang Rui said indifferently.
"That's not Miss ?" Qiaoling asked in surprise.
"It wasn't me who did this, but rather there were some people hiding behind the fog and using the movements I did to hit the person sitting on top. " Chang Rui said.
"According to Miss, who is so daring to use you as a stepping stone ?" Ask Qinlin.
"In your opinion, who would dare be so impudent to use me as a new foothold ? Of course it was a deceiving bastard. " Chang Rui said with great deceit.
Chang Rui cursed at someone sitting in the study room and suddenly sneezed because he was cursed by Chang Rui.
"Who cursed me ?" Nangong Li asked in annoyance.
"Maybe it was Wangfei. " Tap Long Yu.
"Okay, what about all the students of the Imperial Academy ? Have they made a scene there yet ?" Nangong Li asked with a cynical smile.
"I have provoked them and they have been protesting for more than 3 days, they are really persistent. It was only fitting that the Emperor always tried to appease them, because otherwise the people would not believe in the Empire anymore. The move that Master made this time would be a huge blow to the Palace. " Said Long Yu.
"But, sir, what if this matter is investigated ?" Long Yu asked worriedly.
"We just push the girl forward as a scapegoat and then the Palace won't be so urgent, just assume that I step back and they step back as well. " Answer Nangong Li lightly.
"Sir.... isn't this not very good ?" Long Yu asked with a grimace.
"What's not good ? The problem with that girl ? Since when have you become so soft-hearted ? "Ask Nangong Li with a puff.
Long Yu cursed inwardly and felt pity for the Wangfei of his Master's residence.
'This damned bastard Nangong Li is truly heartless ! It was a pity for Wangfei to get this kind of Nangong Li husband !' Long Yu complained inwardly but could not say it bluntly.
Long Yu was the second son of a small official at the border, it was amazing to see him working so obediently like a servant.
Long Yu was Nangong Li's best friend since childhood and thought that working with his friend was the best thing, who would have thought that the more grown up the more unreasonable his friend was.
Who would have thought that he would still survive even after 4 years of being Nangong Li's bodyguard ? Honestly speaking, Long Yu despite being annoyed with Nangong Li was still unable to leave that man's side.
In front of the Palace, Chang Rui was still watching with his two servants and showed no sign of leaving soon.
"Miss, are you sure that Nangong Li did all this ?" Ask Qinlin.
"Of course, if not him then who else ? A person who could implant his eyes so deeply in the Imperial Academy was certainly not a simple person. Other than Nangong Li and Nangong Xi, then I fear that only the Empress or Empress Dowager can do this. " Chang Rui said casually.
"Nangong Xi is unlikely to do this while the Empress and Empress Dowager, I have always felt that they each fought internally and lacked the ability to focus on external issues. " Continue Chang Rui.
"Why does Nangong Li want to take Miss down ? Wouldn't that hurt her too ?" Qiaoling asked curiously.
"If this matter is investigated deeply, then Nangong Li just pushed me out and said that I did this because I felt a grudge. Then, he would say that he was willing to ruin his reputation in order to save the Empire's reputation. In this way, then he will not suffer any loss, while I will be sentenced to death. Honestly, this is an amazing step to make a profit. I had been rash and made him find an opportunity to use me as a new foothold for him. " Chang Rui said with a sigh that showed how sorry he was.
"Isn't this too horrible ? What if it's like this, Miss ? Why are you still so calm ?" Qinlin asked worriedly and almost cried.
"All this will happen when it is revealed, all we have to do is prevent this from being revealed. And if it's revealed then I'll be attacking Nangong Li with me for today, Nangong Li should know what the consequences of trying to use me as a stepping stone for him!" Chang Rui said with determination.
Only he knew about how many plans he had prepared to face Nangong Li.
