บท 91: Chapter 91: Ling Yang College 5
The Emperor was stumped for words for a second. No wonder Xiao Yao Wang came to ask him. Placing a person in Ling Yang College isn't a trivial matter.
"In the college, there is a part of the college which is made for the royal family and daughters and sons of nobility. It specialized in teaching poetry, etiquette, military strategies, tactics, riding, and shooting. Arrange her to go to the there."
"Many thanks to the emperor." A beautiful smile spread across his face.
The Emperor smiled, "I don't know which daughter or son of which family Xiao Yao Wang is recommending?"
Xiao Yao Wang smiled, said: "This person, the emperor certainly knows."
After he finished talking, he turned his head. He looked at Huang Bei Yue with a smile on his face,
"Bei Yue, come quickly to pay your respect to the Emperor."
Huang Bei Yue lifted her head and glanced at him. Regarding this person who excessively enthusiastic about her, she really doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Going to Ling Yang College, he didn't even ask if she agreed!
But in fact, she is curious about Ling Yang College. She heard that inside the college, it gathered the entire Nan Yi country's experts. There are teachers of powerful ranks as well as countless precious secret books and treasures.
To the present her, improving her strength is too important. She is even more in a hurry to unlock the secrets of the black jade.
She really needs a place with ancient information so she can look for information about the black jade.
Since 'that person' and the black jade are related to each other, then, in this era, there must be information regarding that person and the black jade.
Going to Ling Yang College is the best method, inside the famous Seven Towers numerous ancient records are hidden. She already wanted to check it out before this, but experts in Ling Yang College heavily guarded the place. It's would be difficult for her to go in and out undetected.
If she can become one of their students, then it would be the best.
All thanks to Xiao Yao Wang that she can go in so smoothly. So when Xiao Yao Wang asked her to thank the emperor, she didn't try to evade it. She confidently walked over.
"Bei Yue…" When the Emperor heard this name, the smile on his face disappeared for a split second.
He emotion on his face showed that he was excited to see Huang Bei Yue who was walking slowly towards him. His usual brilliance and prestige, suddenly become somewhat haggard and old.
Huang Bei Yue blinked for a second and the Emperor already strode over to her. Both of his hand grabbed her shoulder. Excitedly he said, "You are Bei Yue."
She nodded her head, Princess Zhang and the Emperor is born from the same mother. Princess Zhang is the Emperor's blood-related older sister, so he's her (Huang Bei Yue's) uncle.
She faintly remembered that when she was little, the Emperor was very good to her. He doted on her a lot.
Once she was born, he bestowed the title, "Princess Bei Yue" to her. Furthermore, he also gave her the populous and affluent Qing He region's land, wanting to give her a life without worries.
But after Princess Zhang died, she had entered the palace less. After that, the doctor diagnosed that her illness is contagious. Hence, Huang Bei Yue was confined to Princess Zhang's Prefecture.
Every year, the Emperor would give her generous rewards. However, it was always secretly divided among Concubine Xue and Concubine Qin.
Because there are many memories, Huang Bei Yue's impression of the Emperor is very good.
The Emperor looked at her thin and sickly body. Suddenly he became furious. He turned around, with on foot he kicked over Xiao Yuan Cheng who was kneeling on the floor.
"Shameful thing!" The Emperor furiously pointed at Xiao Yuan Cheng, "What did you say to me? Every time I asked how Bei Yue was, you answered by saying that she is very good. I asked you to bring her to the palace so I can see. You said she doesn't want to come to the palace! Good! I told you to take good care of her! And how did you do?!"
Due to the Emperor's anger, the civil and military officers in Xia Guang hall all immediately kneeled down. All together shouted, "Emperor, please quell your anger."

Xiao Yuan Cheng rolled onto the floor. When he got up, he was shuddering from head to foot. "Replying to your majesty, B-bei Yue, since little she has a w-weak body. I have invited famous doctors and they were all unable to do anything about it. I have failed to live up to the emperor's expectations. I am guilty."
The sweat on his forehead dripped down from his face as if it's raining. The people from the Xiao family were all kneeling on the ground, each and every one of them anxious.
"You still dare deceive me! If you had taken good care of Bei Yue, how can she be so thin?" The Emperor shouted loudly.
The Empress was behind him, trying to use a soft voice to calm him. However, she was pushed away by the Emperor. This was the first time that Princess Ying Ye saw her father Emperor this angry. So she could only hide behind Zhan Ye, anxiously looking at the scene unfold.
Xiao Yuan Cheng's mind trembled so much that he was completely speechless. He specifically ordered Concubine Xue to send the best silk gauze, jewelry, and head ornaments to give to Huang Bei Yue. He wanted to let her dress herself up seeming as if she didn't lose her status. Then he could let her enter the palace without causing trouble.
But he would've never thought that the Emperor's care and concern towards Huang Bei Yue were unexpectedly down to the smallest detail.
Seeing her pale and thin face, which differed from what he had told the Emperor, "Princess Bei Yue is well."
If everything is well then how would she become so thin? Then why would her face be so pale!
To deceive the monarch is a big crime. He could never forget the time when Princess Zhang was alive. This child was favored by the Emperor.
It's not an exaggeration if he says that the Emperor considers Princess Bei Yue like a treasure. If the Emperor found out what kind of life she had lived these past years, then the entire Xiao family would probably be executed unto the third generation.
He originally intended that since Huang Bei Yue's body is weak, she wouldn't be able to live long. When the moment comes, all his problems will be solved. How can there be so many problems now?
However, he is out of his wits right now. He just wanted to calm the Emperor's fury. When he thought about executing his entire Xiao family, his entire body won't stop shaking.
Xiao Yun has a sharp mind, seeing this situation she knew that this time it's big trouble. Immediately she walked up while kneeling, said:
"Replying to the Emperor, father is really good towards Princess Bei Yue. Princess's body was weak since she was young. The doctors are also helpless. Father tells the kitchen every day to make a tonic for the Princess but the Princess's body isn't able to absorb the nutrients. Unexpectedly it became worse, the doctor said that the Princess might not be able to withstand the tonic. That's why she stopped. However, father was still worried. He would let my mother make the medicine for her to drink every day. This little girl doesn't dare to lie. Princess, please help father say something. Blood is thicker than water and you're so filial. You definitely don't want to see father feel apprehensive right?"
This Xiao Yun really knows how to talk. Some of her words were helping Xiao Yuan Cheng lie while at the same time making Huang Bie Yue have nothing to say.
Indeed, the doctor said that her body can't withstand the tonic and nutrients. Concubine Xue actually does send medicine to her every day.
Father and daughter affection. Blood is thicker than water, these words are so pleasant to hear!
It made Huang Bei Yue cannot help but be moved after hearing that.
Such a loving and caring father, how can she allow him to feel apprehensive right?
The Emperor looked at her lovingly, said: "Bei Yue, you tell me the truth. Is Xiao Yuan Cheng good to you? With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything! If he dared to not be good to you, I will immediately execute him!"
Hearing these words, Xiao Yuan Cheng immediately tremble for a moment, cold sweat covered his body.
He couldn't even kneel properly. His whole body was about to go limp on the ground.
His heart only thought that it's all over, that this time he's done for.
The Emperor wanted her to say how well she had lived in the prefecture all these years. If she says everything. Then today will be the day that their Xiao family will be completely executed ah!
