The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 254 Side story (A Guang story)
At midnight,
A man was seen walking cautiously. He settles and sweeps his gaze around checking if anyone is following him.
His steps stopped right under a large tree. He seemed to be waiting while wiping his hands because of the cold that night.
His eyes continued to scan, as if searching for something.
He looked up when he heard the movement from behind the tree.
" You've been da- "A sentence that was about to come out stuck in the throat when you see a figure coming out from behind a tree.
" You! What are you doing here? " The man asked in a high tone.
A Guang could hear there was a hint of concern from the sarcastic tone of a known man named Xi jun. One of A Guang's three classmates who left him during the incident.
A grin appeared on A Guang's lips. " It turns out you did it. How easy it is to lure you to come here with just a scrap of memo. "
" W-what are you saying? " Tanya Xi jun did not understand A Guang's intentions.
" Stop acting stupid or you'll be really stupid. According to the message you received. You're the one who made me fall off the horse."
" You fell because of your inability to control the horse. Why do you blame me? "
A Guang then showed me the needle he had found. " You see this. I wouldn't have fallen if it wasn't for your actions. I even found the catcher in your room. " Lies A Guang.
" It's impossible. I threw it away right then and there. " Said Xi jun unconsciously.
" Oh so you threw it away. " A Guang grinned. " It turns out you're stupid enough to admit it. "
Xi jun clenched his hands together. He was angry, but he had to hold it because he did not want his crime to be exposed. It should be evasive. Xi jun was convinced that A Guang was only bullying him.
" Please watch your words. I really don't understand what you're saying. I came here because I received a strange message. I just wanted to see which prankster would dare to send a memo containing that ridiculous message. So don't think too far. " Cibir Xi jun's.
A Guang leaned against the tree trunk with both hands folded on his chest.
" strange message? silly message? If it's like that then why do you think you're so taking your time at midnight coming here. Between you being stupid for not having another job or because you were so afraid of your crimes that you dared to harm me when riding lessons were known by the teacher. " Secret A Guang made Xi jun's face instantly pale. And A Guang's next sentence further suffocated Xi as if a spirit had just come out of his body.
" I was the one who sent the memo. Intentionally lured you to come here. Isn't that Yan zheng's teacher? "
Hearing his name being mentioned, the teacher Yan zheng who had been hiding not far from where it had appeared. With Na Li who was beside him.
Flashbacks, flashbacks,
" So you're gonna send all three of them the same memo to see who the real culprit is? " Task Na li.
Na li, A Hua and A Guang were discussing what plan they would do to find out the real culprit.
" right. He must have panicked because someone else knew of his crime. " Obviously A Guang.
" If he ignores your message how? " This time A Hua asked, considering that there could be another possibility.
" I'm sure he'll come. " A Guang replied confidently.
" why? " Task A Hua.
" Because I trust my intuition. "
A Hua rolled her eyeballs hearing A Guang's reply, while Na li could only shake with A Guang's overconfident attitude.
A Hua gets the task of sending the memo secretly. While Na li will call teacher Yan Zheng to the place he promised.
And sure enough as A Guang suspected. The rat bit his bait. He came after getting the message.
Flashback done,
" What A Guang said is true is Xi Jun. That you're the one who made A Guang's horse lose control? " Tanya Yan zheng was full of demands.
" Ti-no. I didn't do anything. I didn't do what you said. " Xi Jun looked panicked despite still trying to dodge.
Yang zheng walked over. " Tell me why did you do it? do you know the punishment for wrongdoing a fellow disciple? "
Xi jun is still silent.
" You'll be expelled from the academy. And you know what's next. Your name will be blacklisted. Even the imperial academy will reject you. So better tell me to be honest. Did you do it yourself or did someone else tell you to? "
While on the other hand, xi jun was feeling his fate was at the tip of the horn. How not, he never knew that the consequences of being expelled from the academy would be so great.
Not only issued, he will be blacklisted and if until it happens then the opportunity to work in the government will never be achieved.
He who is only a concubine child will always be humbled. Though his destiny changed a little better after getting into the academy. His father's family was so proud of him after learning he was accepted into the academy.
Xi Jun is at a crossroads. He hesitated when Yan's teacher forced him to tell the truth, he was afraid of a reply from Jinfu. But he also has to save his future. So he was forced to choose the second option.
" Will I be honest, I won't be expelled from the teacher's academy? " Task Xi jun carefully. He has to make sure that the steps he takes will also not get him expelled from the academy.
" If you're honest, at least your punishment will be much lighter. " Reply Master Yan, without asserting or disputing Xi Jun's question.
Xi Jun took a deep breath. It was as if he was preparing to pull a large chunk out of his throat.
" Surely someone told me to. I had no other way but to accept it because otherwise, he threatened to make my life in the academy difficult. So I had to accept it. "
A Guang was eager to spit out his entrails upon hearing Xi jun's reasoning.
" Who is he? " Tanya A Guang was impatient.
" Jin-jinfu. " Say Xi jun lirih.
" What do you mean Jiang Jinfu? " Guru Yan made sure.
" Right teacher. " Xi jun nodded.
Master Yan looked silent for a moment as if thinking of something.
He did not not not not know how Jinfu and his group had been fighting all this time. But the headmaster always closed his eyes with all the mistakes of Jinfu. According to him, it is only the delinquency of teenagers who can still be understood.
Unfortunately, Master Yan is not stupid. He knew the principal privileged Jinfu because of his status as the prime minister's son. Not once did he protest twice with the attitude of the principal. But in fact his complaint did not get a response, and he received a strong warning.
That was why he was currently in doubt as to whether to pass the matter on to the principal. Karen would have been useless if she had done so.
" Then Xi Jun, you go back to your room. Accept your punishment tomorrow. " Speak teacher yan without looking towards Xi jun.
Xi jun nodded and walked away. Secretly the corner of his lips curved up.
' Look. Even if you know I did it, do you think the school will get me out. ' Ejek Xi jun in heart.
A Guang who saw the ridiculing gaze of xi jun instantly heated up his heart.
After Xi jun was nowhere to be seen again. A Guang immediately raised his protest.
" Guru why did you just let him go? " A Guang asked furiously. His tone of voice was not even able to hide his disappointment.
Master Yan sighed. He's massaging the base of his nose. " What exactly did you do to offend Jinfu? "
" To be handsome. "
A Guang replied originally and successfully got teacher Yan's sharp gaze.
A Guang rolled his eyes. " all right. I also don't know why senior jiang is targeting me. I really didn't do anything. All this time I was just trying to be a good role model student by coming on time to class. "
" Are you sure? " Guru Yan narrowed his eyes unconvinced by A Guang's explanation.
" Sure and very sure. Very sure. "
Na Lin who had been silent longed to speak. But he is still worried. Maybe he would say it when he was alone with A Guang, Na li said.
" So teacher, is there no punishment at all for them. Wouldn't it be unfair for me if they just walked out of responsibility. Then how is it different then that this academy is with the Imperial academy that tends to side with nobles? " She complained A Guang.
He was completely inexhaustible with this academy of his mother's.
If not bound by the conditions given by his mother. It was eager for A Guang to open up his status as crown prince. After that see how pale they had done evil to harm their future king.
But wishful thinking is still wishful thinking.
' Ma'am, you know your son is currently being bullied. ' Inner A Guang.
Without him knowing, that in fact his parents were laughing when they learned the fate of their son.
