Chapter 127 Its so difficult to guess Little Marquis thoughts (1)So the story went like so:It was said that Mu Yuan and Government Minister Jiang Wu happened to clash on the first morning after the Lunar New Year.As soon as the Emperor arrived, Jiang Wu began to nit pick at Mu Yuan. He began with his son, Mu Yang, who had caused trouble at the front door of Crispy Fragrance House last year. He had beaten the son-in-law of a small official, and that the poor man had been laying in bed for over a month, even his New Year's Eve dinner was eaten on the bed.Combined with Mu Yang's previous mischief in Chaoge, Jiang Wu advocated for Mu Yang to move into the Academy and be disciplined by his teachers, so he could learn to reflect on his own mistakes.Although Mu Yuan liked to beat Mu Yang, he loved him very much, and usually protected his son as if he was his eyeballs. Therefore, when he heard Jiang Wu's harsh words, he immediately became unhappy.He rolled up his sleeves and argued with Jiang Wu right then and there.But in the end Mu Yuan was a rough military man, he couldn't outcompete the slick-mouth civil servants. Knowing he was unable to win in a battle of wits, in a fit of anger, Mu Yuan proposed that all the students should stay in the Academy for a period of time.If my son had to suffer, then so should everyone else!Unexpectedly, the Emperor actually played along to his spur-of-the-moment suggestion. And so, all the young ladies and young masters could only move their belongings into the Academy. The Emperor also sent a group of imperial guards to the Academy and assigned them to secure the Academy inside and out.Wen Yantong never read about such a segment in the book, but she could vaguely guess the intention behind this incident.The Jiang Residence was raided, and once their sons and daughters were imprisoned, the only thing that awaited them was an execution. This was completely cutting off their bloodline. However, the Jiang Residence kept a private army, and the one who seized their house was Mu Yuan, who belonged to the Emperor's party.This meant that Chi Jingxi, Mu Yang and others lives were threatened. But they couldn't all suspend classes, so in order to reduce the probability of danger, the Emperor simply asked everyone to move their children into the Academy.Now it was not just Mu Yuan's party, even Prime Minister Fu's partys children were in the Academy. And with all of the Emperor's people surrounding the entire premise, this was equivalent to a disguised threat.After Wen Yantong figured this out, she whistled and lay back on the bed. Although her comfortable one-person bedroom was gone, she wasnt too distressed. After all, the Academy would issue another holiday during the beginning of February, so Chi Jingxi would only stay in the Academy for ten or so days.She moved back in a hurry, in fact, there are still a lot of things left in Chi Jingxi's room. Wen Yantong hoped he wouldn't throw them away.Zhang Jieran added some charcoal to the heater and asked, "Would you be uncomfortable moving back so suddenly?"Wen Yantong turned her head and replied, "What's there to be uncomfortable about? Didn't I live here before?""But it's not as convenient as having a private room." Zhang Jieran said."No matter how convenient it is, it's not mine to begin with. Anyway, my leg is fine now, so there's nothing inconvenient about it." Wen Yantong yawned and asked, "Do you plan on studying tonight?"Zhang Jieran replied, "No, let's go to bed early today."The structure of the double dormitory was simple. Entering the door was a spacious shared room, with a small room on the left and right. There were no doors, only cotton curtains as barriers.The heat stove was placed in the central room. Although it was not as warm as sleeping in a private dormitory, the cotton curtains prevented the cold wind from entering.Wen Yantong tucked her entire body under her blanket, but no matter how long she covered her feet, they refused to warm up. After tossing and turning for half an hour, Wen Yantong finally decided to boil a pot of hot water to soak her feet.Since she had to move back to the double dormitory, Wen Yantong told Mo Li to go back to Wen's Residence first. Fortunately, the water heating room was not far away, and there were public lighters there, so it was convenient to boil water when needed.After Wen Yantong put on her cotton clothes slowly, she walked outside, only to be stopped by two guards. One of the guards looked very familiar, Wen Yantong was momentarily stunned by their sudden appearance. She quickly broke the silence, "Is the Little Marquis looking for me?"The guards didn't speak, they hoisted her up, one on each side, and then half-lifted and half-dragged her towards Chi Jingxi's dorm.Wen Yantong was quite frightened by their speak-less and do-more response. On the way there, she kept talking to the two guards, "What exactly is the matter? Can you at least give me a squeak?"The guards remained silent the entire time, leading the captive to the door and retreating to the side.Wen Yantong found that there were many more guards this time than last time, they surrounded the bedroom tightly, all standing in a long, neat row. Right by the entrance of the room, there are two distinctly dressed men. They both were wearing black robes embroidered with winged-beast with sharp claws and fangs, and were equipped with sharp swords around their waists.At a glance, Wen Yantong could tell they were not ordinary guards, no matter status or ability, they seemed to be a cut above compared to the regular guards.Wen Yantong gulped down a mouthful of saliva and stood in place.The guards around her didn't bother to look at her, as if they didn't see her at all. Wen Yantong remained in the room and chatted up with the guard next to her, "Hey, so did the Little Marquis ask you to bring me here?"The man ignored her completely as he continued to look ahead expressionlessly.Wen Yantong stomped her feet to warm herself from the cold. She continued to ask several people in succession, but no one paid her any heed, much less answer her questions. In the end, she could no longer tolerate being ignored and yelled into the room, "Little Marquis! Little Marquis!"Shortly after, the door was pulled open from the inside. A guard had opened the door, he bowed and said, "Gongzi, please."Wen Yantong inwardedly cussed. When she trotted into the room, she whispered to the servant boy nearby, "How is the Little Marquis? Is he in a good mood? Or is there something bothering him?"The servant smiled, "How could this humble servant know? It may be better for gongzi to go in and personally check."Wen Yantong clicked her tongue. It seems none of these servants would give her any hints. Although she didn't know why Chi Jingxi would bring her here so suddenly, judging from the current situation, it must not be a good thing.
