Fang Huai hadn't appeared in the academy for a few days, and it was precisely the young master Lang Lang who had relied on his youth to provoke someone's girl.
The majority of the students in the academy were young misses and young masters, but the majority of the private conversations were about the matters of the future.
As for the young miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she no longer dared to provoke him. Only because there was a rumor that before Fang Huai left, she brought a servant to find trouble with the young miss, and with Mr. Xu Chang as her guarantor, she even allowed the study at the side of the library to be given to her. Without a maid, Xu Chang sent a student's attendant to help her, which no one dared to object.
Xu Chang not only held a high position in power, he was also the good teacher of the Seventh Prince in the past, to vent his anger and teach him the ways of the royal family. The Emperor had tried many times to rope him in, but he was unable to do so as to make him the current Grand Tutor.
And at this moment, Gu Mingyan was standing obediently under the roof of the study room, snow was falling from her hair to her shoulders and her white cloak was draped over her shoulders. She was waiting for them to leave school so that she could ask for Mr. Xu Chang's remaining scrolls.
Gu Ziyan looked up from time to time, his gaze cold.
However, Gu Mingyan just raised her hand and pinched her cold hair, and when she finished, she bowed and saluted according to Xu Chang's teachings, then spoke softly to the teacher who was teaching her calligraphy: "Mr. Xu has asked me to retrieve the two remaining scrolls, and to invite Sir to have a drink at noon."
The old man caressed his beard happily and placed the quill down, then took out two incomplete books and placed it in Gu Mingyan's hands.
"Since when did he like to find a student to accompany him?"
"On the other hand, Mr. Xu saw that the students were too boring and purposely sent me to dye them with calligraphy."
Gu Mingyan suddenly revealed a smile, took out a piece of cloth and wrapped the two books up, then placed them inside: "Sir, you can agree to my request, Xiao Li, and I will also go back to Mr. Xu to speak."
"No way, no way. He specifically asked you to come here to pick up the item, and also asked me to go have a drink. There must be some trouble."
Mister's expression changed and he lazily waved his hand. Seeing that none of the students had left, the angle of his hand increased even more.
Gu Mingyan laughed and handed over a letter to him: "Sorry to trouble you, Sir."
With that, without waiting for Mister to reply, he slipped away like a wisp of smoke. He was only angered by the old man's scolding that Xu Chang would usually order people around.
The students in the academy were not surprised by Gu Mingyan's figure. Most of the time, she would help Mr. Xu Chang pass the message or take a few things to pass around, she was more like a shadow in the academy.
She did not have a errand boy holding up her umbrella. She slowly walked in the pure white of the night. Even if she fell, she would only get up and pat her clothes.
"Miss Prime Minister's Mansion, you really can't forget about your days in the wilderness."
"If it wasn't for his father being the Prime Minister, he wouldn't have been able to enter."
These cold words would ring out from time to time, but Gu Mingyan only frowned slightly as he brushed off the snow on his bottom and slowly sauntered away.
After passing the two remaining scrolls to Xu Chang, she fell head first into the library, as if she wanted to finish reading all of the scrolls in the library.
Xu Chang helplessly walked into the library and whispered, "Regarding the study of the academy's infirmary, do you have any other thoughts?"
"There are specializations in the field of martial arts. Apart from the usual simple prescriptions, there are also various kinds of difficult problems. Someone should be found to specialize in one area, so it's impossible to balance all of them."
Gu Mingyan had been running around the Academy these past few days just to get the teachers to support him in the construction of the medicine hall so he could serve the imperial government.
It was a pity that the results were minimal. Even though most of the teachers were on good terms with Xu Chang, they had always felt that once their medical skills met with blood, they would never be able to achieve greatness.
On the other hand, Gu Mingyan's use of poison was extremely effective, and it was not difficult to decapitate them.
However, they had their strengths and weaknesses.
Right now, she was having a difficult time preparing a prescription to treat her chills. It was just because she was infected by her chills that she wanted to use poison against poison, but other people used different materials for their chills.
After all, cold medicine was a good thing.
With her train of thought, Gu Mingyan felt that if her ancestor knew, she would have forgotten about the recipe after taking the cold medicine.
The coffin probably wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure.
Sobbing softly, Gu Mingyan sniffed: "Anyways, there should be people who are good at healing wounds, and some are good at using medicine to heal their bodies. There are even doctors who like to use acupuncture, and there are even people who like to pull out cupping needles and so on. If we continue to climb higher, then there will be so many stars in the sky that it will be hard to say. "
"Then which branch of the poison are you using?" Xu Chang asked again.
However, Gu Mingyan took out a book with a smile, opened it and read the sentence inside it: "Using poison to fight poison, unorthodox techniques, and poison to bring disaster to one's doom, your crime is extremely deep."
This was the evaluation that Chu Tian had of those who used poison.
There was a story about a famous poison master in the past who had never harmed anyone. However, because of his intelligence and the countless poisons in his hands, he was forcibly exterminated by the Emperor's army. Three hundred people from the academy died in battle, their blood flowing like rivers.
And the last sentence was precisely these 16 words.
Xu Chang frowned, only to see him smiling in relief.
"The ancients were laughable, but they did not know that even more people were killed by the deadly poison than they were."
After placing the book back in its original position, Gu Mingyan took out another book and smiled: "But Mr. Xu is a very good teacher, he doesn't care about the poison in my body and is also willing to cultivate geniuses for Chu. No wonder Your Highness treated you as your master."
"I wonder if it's because of this face that got your heart, or if it's intentionally flattering me, this backer."
Xu Chang shook his head helplessly, but his face carried a slight smile.
Gu Mingyan actually laughed until he had dimples, jumping to his side like a rabbit to pull his sleeves: "Mr. Xu is indeed beautiful, but she is very conflict with people, everyone loves to be beautiful, I can't praise you so highly in the future, and won't let me see your handsome face."
This little girl was truly irksome.
Xu Chang only lightly knocked on her head: "It's getting late, go to the hall and eat before coming back."
"What does Mr. Xu want to eat today?"
"Today, I will first go back and take a look at that old man Xue Zhu. Take care of yourself, in the future you are not allowed to speak to your elders like that."
He tapped her on the shoulder.
Gu Mingyan smiled and nodded, he put down his book and went to the hall to eat, he was very obedient.
After Gu Mingyan left, Xu Chang left the academy and returned to the courtyard.
Xue Zhu was carrying a wine jar as he laid under the eaves to fill up the corpses, while Xiao Qiran was indifferently sitting on his wheelchair and holding a cup of hot tea. Seeing that the brat's expression was not good, it seemed like the two of them had quarreled and were feeling angry.
"An old man in his fifties, a young man in his prime. In my courtyard, he looks like two three-year-old children."
After Xu Chang finished, he cupped his hands together and bowed without moving.
The corpse on the ground suddenly scuttled forward, pointing at Xu Chang's nose and shouting: "Xu Chang brat, I am older than you by two rounds, speaking of a three year old child!"
"Who should I say who should." Xiao Qiran slashed his blade coldly.
A burst of chaos ensued.
Xu Chang waved his hands helplessly, he did not know what the difference of three or four rounds was like.
