Chapter 784 The Past That Never Talks About
After Prince Su consulted Emperor Xiao, the news of alchemy spread quickly.
The women's college has always attracted attention, and after the news spread, speculation about the women's college became even more diverse.
Some people think that there must be a reason for the selection of the location of the women's academy, otherwise Prince Su would not have chosen this place to make alchemy.
Some people also think that it is unreasonable to refine elixirs in an academy. It would be better to simply close the women's academy and move to another place, so that the current academy can be used exclusively as a place for Prince Su to practice meditation.
Wei Yao was very angry about this statement.
"We have carefully considered the location of this women's college. How can we change it at will? Moreover, even if this location has the most students, it is also the most convenient for nearby female students to come to the college. If we change the location, I am afraid that many people will give up because of the distance."
It would have been fine if Prince Su had just stayed in Sanqing Temple and come back suddenly, but he also set his sights on causing trouble at the Girls' Academy.
"Okay, don't be angry yet. This matter hasn't been decided yet." Lu Yan comforted him, but she also felt uncomfortable in her heart.
The behavior of this Prince Su is really strange. He used to hang around the Women's Academy, and now he wants to move into it. I always feel that things are not that simple.
"Sui Ning, what do you think about this matter?"
"The emperor has not agreed immediately. He probably feels that this is inappropriate. But as Prince Su said, he is the emperor's uncle after all. If he insists, I'm afraid the emperor will not be able to object."
"Do we really have to watch him make pills in the Girls' Academy? This is too absurd." Wei Yao frowned, "Or, should the Girls' Academy be moved to another place?"
We have spent so much effort before. If we change the place, I don’t know how much energy it will take, and it will also affect the students who have already enrolled.
"Don't make a rash decision. We should first find out what Prince Chu wants to do." Jiang Suining looked outside.
Xiao Yue, who just happened to be trying to find out what Emperor Xiao was thinking, came over.
"Fifth Princess, how is it?" Lu Yan asked immediately when she saw Xiao Yue.
"I have already sounded out my father, and he hasn't agreed yet, but it looks like he will soon." Xiao Yue looked a little frustrated, "And from what my father said, he really doesn't care much about the Women's Academy."
Just now, she tried to tell her father that Prince Su's proposal would affect the teaching at the Girls' Academy, but her father didn't want to hear her continue.
"I think the reason why Father has not agreed to this matter now is not because he is concerned about the Women's Academy, but because he is still a little confused about why Prince Su wants to do this, and he is also worried that if he agrees, the court officials and the people will talk about it."
After so long, and having done so much for the Women's College, it seems that this Women's College is still insignificant in the hearts of many people. This is really frustrating.
Xiao Yue's emotions also infected Wei Yao, Lu Yan and others, and their moods suddenly became depressed.
Jiang Suining also felt bad, but she had prepared herself mentally from the beginning and quickly got rid of this emotion.
"No matter what the emperor thinks, at least he hasn't agreed to this yet. We can't just wait like this."
"But what can we do? After all, he is Prince Su. We can't really confront him head-on. If we do that, it might anger the emperor, and then even the Women's Academy will be lost." Lu Yan sighed.
Although she was usually calm and the one who persuaded others, she couldn't help but feel helpless now.
"Prince Su was staying well in Sanqing Temple before, and he would never come back rashly. Besides, he must have a purpose for choosing to refine the elixir in the Girls' Academy. There is no hatred between Prince Su and us, and even the previous search of Sanqing Temple was not worthy of his targeting. If he must choose the academy to refine the elixir, then he most likely has a reason to choose it there." Jiang Suining spoke while thinking.
"Could it be that it's really because of the good feng shui that's suitable for alchemy?" Wei Yao said.
"I don't think it's such a coincidence. Maybe there are other reasons." Jiang Suining frowned, "I want to meet the Queen."
"Empress? What do you think she will know?" Xiao Yue was puzzled.
Jiang Suining shook his head. "Prince Su has been in Sanqing Temple for so many years. Our understanding of him is really limited. Perhaps the Queen knows more."
She had asked Tianyin Pavilion to investigate before, but strangely, there was very little information about Prince Su in the imperial city back then, and most of it was only public information.
The only point is that the late emperor once intended to pass the throne to his younger brother, but this is nothing but speculation and rumor without any evidence.
Although it happened a long time ago, based on the capabilities of Tianyin Pavilion, they were able to find out some details, but this time was an exception.
I don’t know if it’s because Prince Su was too low-key back then and nothing could be found out, or if there are other reasons.
"Even if the Queen knows something, she may not tell us." Xiao Yue said.
"Then give it a try. It's better than doing nothing."
Jiang Suining and Lu Yan went to Queen Shi's palace together.
After learning the purpose of Jiang Suining and others' visit, Queen Shi spoke directly.
“Although Prince Su had not yet gone to Sanqing Temple when I married the emperor, I am not very clear about the affairs of the royal family.”
"Empress, we just want to know some news about Prince Su in the past, no matter whether it is important or not." Jiang Suining knelt in front of Empress Shi.
Lu Yan also knelt down and said, "Please tell me something, Madam."
Queen Shi frowned and looked at the two of them. "I have just said that I really don't know. You don't need to ask me here. If you have nothing else, please leave."
Jiang Suining and Lu Yan looked at each other.
Although they had thought when they came that perhaps Queen Shi didn't know anything or was unwilling to say more, but when they heard Queen Shi's tone of rejection at this moment, they smelled something wrong.
Queen Shi didn't look like she knew nothing. Rather, it seemed like she knew something but chose to keep silent about it.
"Empress, we are not trying to find out Prince Su's privacy for no reason. It's just that it's strange that he suddenly proposed to make elixirs in the Women's Academy. We just want to see if there is any chance of a turnaround." Lu Yan looked up at Empress Shi and said, "Empress, please tell us something for the sake of those female students who have finally learned to read and write."
Empress Shi avoided Lu Yan's sight and said, "I also feel that this matter is inappropriate, but after all, it depends on the emperor's opinion, so I can't interfere. As for why Prince Su wants to make elixirs in the Women's Academy, I really don't know the reason."
Queen Shi spoke in a firm tone.
Seeing this, the nanny beside them also asked Jiang Suining and the others to leave.
"Don't disturb the queen's rest here, please leave."
Jiang Suining and Lu Yan could only bow and leave.
When turning around to leave, Jiang Suining suddenly stopped and looked at Queen Shi...
