[If it’s to find Feng Qiuwu’s, I’ll have to intervene. In his mind contact, Feng Jiu said so.
At this sensitive moment, when Ouyang Yan went to look for Feng Qiwu, Feng Jiu had to suspect that the Shanhe Academy might make a move, and he had to be present so that he could respond in time.
[Well, that’s exactly why I’m here]. Qing Yu said back.
Even though the Shanhe Academy had always claimed that it was not involved in the government, others did not dare to ignore it.
Nine out of ten officials in the Northern Zhou court are related to the academy, and even if they are not from the academy, they are still involved with it.
Even if they do not come from the academy, they are still involved with it. It is said that they are not involved in imperial politics, but when it comes to important matters, such as the change of throne that will take place in two years, who dares to ignore the opinions of the Shanhe Academy?
There was a moment of silence inside and outside the bedchamber, waiting for Ouyang Yan and the others to enter the Imperial City and ascertain their whereabouts.
Feng Qiwu was now also in the East Palace, but to intervene halfway, Feng Jiu was definitely in time.
[Hmm? It seems that Ouyang Yan is not here to find Feng Qiwu, but to find you.]
Qing Yu had already seen Ouyang Yan and the others outside the bedchamber, and this going direction was clearly directed towards Feng Jiu.
【But ——】
[The people accompanying Ouyang Yan, besides Wu Qu, there was another person, that person —— was Si Hao Feng!
Qing Yu had not seen Si Haofeng in person, and the dealings with Feng Chaonan were all by Ji Tang, but Qing Yu had heard Ji Tang describe Si Haofeng’s appearance.
And, a Confucian Sect Divine Origin realm with such profound power should only be the one who had only recently arrived at the Divine Capital, the second on the Human Ranking, right?
The situation seems to be a bit wrong, as Si Haofeng is also travelling with Ouyang Yan, heading your way.
If the information is correct, Si Haofeng has not been in contact with the Shanhe Academy for ten years. If the information was correct, Si Haofeng hadn’t contacted the Shanhe Academy for ten years, and he suddenly came with Ouyang Yan and Wu Qu, Qing Yu instinctively felt that something was wrong.
[Be careful, improvise.] Qing Yu instructed.
[Understood.
At this moment, the little eunuch outside the hall ran in and bowed to Feng Jiu, “Your ninth highness, Ouyang Yan from the Shanhe Academy, along with Wu Qu and Si Haofeng, requests to see you.”
“Quickly please —— no, I will personally invite the gentlemen in.” Feng Jiu hurriedly said.
“There is no need, we are already here.”
Just as the words came in, the three people outside the hall entered the hall with a step, and Ouyang Yan said aloud, “Feng Jiu, it is the teachers who have been rude enough to enter without being invited.”
“What are you saying, Mr. Ouyang, you should have an urgent matter, right?” Feng Jiu’s face did not see the slightest difference in colour as she smiled.
But in his heart, Feng Jiu felt bad, [Ouyang Yan looks like the three of them are not good, what should I do?
Qing Yu also didn’t know what had gone wrong and was having a headache outside, [The only way to deal with it now is to improvise and take it as it comes.
“Is it something important?”
Ouyang Yan said, but his gaze turned to Qi Si Bo, who was standing quietly at one side, and said to him, “Qi Feng, I have a few private words to say with my student, so please take a step back.”
Qi Si Bo was unmoved and said, “Mr. Ouyang, His Highness is not only your student, but also the ninth prince of my Great Zhou. Recently, there has been no peace and the prince’s sons have been repeatedly a*sa*sinated, so I am sorry that I cannot agree to this as it is my duty to do so.”
Joking aside, the situation was clearly one where something was going on. As the Empress’ eyes and ears, how could Qi Si Bo easily leave at this time, he had to be here to hear what this two sides were going to talk about so that he could report to the Empress first.
“Officiant Qi, as I said, this is a private matter.” Ouyang Yan’s eyes were extremely serious as he gazed straight at Qi Si Bo, “I don’t think the Empress, too, would offend my Shanhe Academy over this trivial matter.”
If it was in the past, Ouyang Yan would not have minded arguing with Qi Si Bo, but now it was an urgent moment, Ouyang Yan was rarely able to show his strong nature from his early years, and he did not even call himself “I” anymore, he just said “I”.
In his early years, Ouyang Yan was named “Ouyang Yan”, and his temperament was as intense as his name, but it was only later that he cultivated himself and changed his name to “Yan”, which means “to lay down”.
When he saw that Ouyang Yan had made it clear that the matter was so serious that it had offended the Shanhe Academy, Qi Si Bo did not dare to stay here any longer, even if the Empress herself was here, it was time for her to withdraw.
So, Qi Si Bo said, “Since this is a private matter, then I will first avoid it.”
With that, Qi Si Bo simply left the bedchamber and then ——
He quickly rushed towards the Empress’ side.
The matter was urgent and the Empress and the Eighth Prince must be informed as soon as possible.
After Qi Si Bo left, Feng Jiu also had the good sense to tell the eunuchs and palace maids standing to his left and right to retreat. This time, only Feng Jiu and Ouyang Yan were left in the bedchamber.
“Sir, I wonder what is the reason for this haste?” Feng Jiu asked.
“Take the move.”
Wu Qu suddenly shouted, “Hao Ran Zheng Qi” filled his palm, and pushed a palm towards Feng Jiu.
“Mr. Wu Qu, what are you doing?” Feng Jiu hurriedly threw her hands to block.
The same palm filled with “Hao Rang Zheng Qi” collided with Wu Qu.
Even though they were both at the Divine Origin realm, Wu Qu was far more powerful than Feng Jiu. Even though Wu Qu had withdrawn his strength, he caused Feng Jiu to retreat five steps before he was able to stop himself.
“Mr. Wu Qu!”
Wu Qu did not answer Feng Jiu’s question, he wore a relieved and relaxed expression and shook his head slowly at Ouyang Yan.
In fact, without Wu Qu’s prompting, Ouyang Yan had been cultivating “Hao Ran Zheng Qi” for many years and could tell that Feng Jiu was using the pure “Hao Ran Zheng Qi” and had not changed his roots.
Although he had shifted his training focus to the Phoenix Heavenly Strategy, if necessary, he could still use the most authentic “Hao Ran Zheng Qi”.
Ouyang Yan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, no matter what, Feng Jiu was not like Lu Qingzhu who had changed his roots and had mischievous intentions, which was great news for Ouyang Yan.
With his heart relieved, Ouyang Yan’s tone was not as hard as before, and he said to Feng Jiu: “Feng Jiu, sir can see that your heart of righteousness is still there. Since this is the case, you have to explain to the gentleman why you are sitting back and ignoring Feng Chaonan’s evil deeds, and why you do not take back the power of the overseeing prince to set things right and stop Feng Chaonan from continuing his evil deeds?”
“If you have any hardships, speak up boldly, you are a scholar of the academy, and the gentlemen, and even Dean Zhuge, can resolve anything that threatens you.” Wu Qu also said in a solemn voice.
They were now convinced that Feng Jiu had another reason for her suffering, perhaps she was threatened by someone, perhaps there was some change of heart, but it didn’t matter. The Mountain River Academy was not afraid of anyone or anything.
