章 670: An Academy

The gate to the Orthodox Academy had been tightly shut this entire time, not a single noise emerging from within. Even when the troops of the Imperial Court encircled it or the old eunuch came bearing an imperial decree, nothing changed. It remained a still and quiet place. Anyone would think that there was nobody behind this thick academy gate.

In reality, there had always been people behind the gate of the Orthodox Academy.

Behind the academy gate, two yellow poplar trees had been planted. With the coming of autumn, the leaves on these two trees had been greatly reduced. The clear and cold light from the sun passed through the branches and fell upon the face of a young girl.

This girl had a beautiful and elegant appearance, still suffused with a childish air. She was still very young and under the sunlight, she seemed even more charming. However, the apprehension and exhaustion on her face also became more visible.
