However, Xie Jiuyao did not participate in the whole process. She was busy placing orphans outside. The number of orphans was too large and she could not be completely placed for a while.

Xie Jiuyao is surrounded by children every day, and chattering is actually quite interesting, because these abandoned children are careful when they get along with others, and even please them specifically.

Because they are afraid of being discarded again.

Xie Jiuyao, who was following a circle of small tails, was busy and did not pay attention to the situation in the court.

Until the emperor suddenly fell ill, his illness came very suddenly. After all, the emperor was only in his 40s this year and was still strong on weekdays.

After Xie Jiuyao received the news, he quickly returned to the palace. Before Wenque could be seen, Wen Qin first told her: "What are you saying that you are sick? Actually..."

Wen Qin sneered, then said, "A new concubine who entered the palace lit an incense to cheer for favor in her palace. His Majesty happened to be allergic to one of the spices."

Xie Jiuyao suddenly understood why he said to the outside world that the emperor was just sick, after all, he still wanted face.

"Ajiu, you don't have to worry about the next thing. Just keep doing your business, it won't involve us."

Wenqin has no children and is deeply favored by the emperor. As long as the emperor does not die, it will be indifferent to her who becomes the prince.

Xie Jiuyao nodded, chatted with Wenque again, and then left the palace.

She booked a batch of books to make the orphans enlightened, but she hadn't gotten them yet. In addition, she was also planning to find a batch of gentlemen to come over, without the need for those particularly powerful people, the old scholar, after all, it was just enlightened.

Teach orphans some simple words, arithmetics, etc. When they become adults, they can go out to make a living by themselves.

Xie Jiuyao went to get the book, and the car was filled with a car. When he drove back, there was a scholar in front of him. This scholar was very interesting. He didn't forget to read books when he was walking on the road. Because he kept his head down, he almost bumped into Xie Jiuyao's carriage.

Xie Jiuyao stopped the horse in time, so he did not knock him down.

The scholar was also startled and raised his head and apologized quickly: "Sorry... I'm fascinated by studying, I'm so embarrassed."

"Don't study when you are walking on the road." Xie Jiuyao whispered: "It's fine if you hit someone, but if you hit a carriage, can you be as hard as a carriage?"

The scholars were amused, and Lianlian said: "The young student will pay attention."

He looked at the carriage behind Xie Jiuyao. There were too many books piled up on the carriage. Finally, he piled them on the shaft. He said curiously: "Is this guy in the book business?"

"No, I bought a few farms in this city to raise orphans, so I bought some books to enlighten them." Xie Jiuyao thought of this and asked him specifically: "Are you here to take the exam in Beijing?"

"Yes." The scholar quickly bowed and bowed: "My kindness, I can't wait. In March this year, the young student came to Kyoto. The new subject was postponed, so he didn't leave. Fortunately, because of the postponement, we students from other places were all managed by the officials."

"In other words, none of your students left now?" Xie Jiuyao then remembered that the new student recruitment had indeed been postponed, because the empress dowager passed away at that time. One year after the national mourning, His Majesty was ill for several days because of sorrow.

"Yes."

"So are you interested in coming to me to teach children? But I may not give a lot of money." Xie Jiuyao just asked tentatively, after all, it is not certain whether those students are willing or not.

They might prefer to review at home.

"I don't know anyone else. My friends and I are definitely willing to come here, even if we don't have money, it doesn't matter." The scholar hurriedly said: "After all, this is a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtue."

Xie Jiuyao discussed with him and gave him an address. The scholar named Lu Shuang, who still looks like a little nerd.

Not long after Xie Jiuyao went back and put down the book, Lu Shuang really brought six or seven friends over. Xie Jiuyao gave them some money every month according to the price of an ordinary private school, and they stayed to enlighten the children.

Lu Shuang really likes reading. When Xie Jiuyao saw him, he held a book in his hand. After the two of them became a little familiar, Xie Jiuyao realized that Lu Shuang was an adopted son.

However, he has not been treated harshly, he is just born to love reading.

When Lu Shuang mentioned his family background, he just smiled: "I didn't want to come here to participate in the imperial examination, but this is my biological mother's dream, so I have to come."

Xie Jiuyao didn't understand why he loved studying and was unwilling to participate in the imperial examination, but everyone had their own secrets and she was not going to ask.

But when she was about to return to the palace, Lu Shuang said to her: "Can you ask me for someone?"

"Who?"

"It should be called Xie Shuang, nickname Jiuer, about the same age as you." Lu Shuang whispered: "It's my lost sister. I have been looking for her for years..."

Xie Jiuyao was stunned. Her body was called Xie Shuang.

"If there is only one name in the sea, it is difficult to find."

"My mother told me that she gave my sister to someone else's house, but I don't believe it. I have searched all over the years for a while..." Lu Shuang paused when she said this, as if she felt that she was speechless and said something she shouldn't say: "Forget it, it may be no longer in the world..."

Xie Jiuyao was silent for a long time, and finally decided to tell him the truth: "Xie Shuang is indeed no longer in the world."

"What?" Lu Shuang, no, it should be Xie Ya looking at Xie Jiuyao in surprise.

Xie Jiuyao said calmly: "I am doing things in the palace. This time I was ordered by a certain empress to come out to do some good deeds. I once met a little eunuch in the palace, whose name was Xie Ya. We had a good relationship. She once told me that she was not called Xie Ya, but Xie Shuang."

As soon as the two words Xie Ya came out, the young man in front of him knew that Xie Jiuyao did not lie to him: "What happened later?"

He was surprised and happy, but suddenly thought of Xie Jiuyao's second half of the sentence: she was no longer in the world.

"In this palace, a life is not as good as Cao Jian. Xie Shuang died when she was very young. She told me that she was the one who replaced her brother and was destined to not live long. Because she was alive, the matter of replacing her is easily exposed. At that time, Xie Shuang told me that I hope I can collect the body for her after she died." Xie Jiuyao lowered his eyebrows and his face remained calm and said, "When she passed away, I was just a little eunuch, and I didn't have the ability to collect the body for her."

Xie Ya stood there and suddenly burst into tears: "She lied to me..."

My mother told him since he was a child that his sister was sent away and that he was also fed by his mother at a friend's house. At first, Xie Ya believed him, after all, he was just a child at that time. Later, the older he was, the more he knew, and he felt that his mother was lying.

Their family has committed such a great sin, so how could they send everyone away easily?

Xie Ya began to look for his sister everywhere. He suspected that his sister had been sent to the teaching house, so he searched for her while studying.

Now someone told him that your sister was not in the sect and had died for you long ago.

"By the way, can you tell me what your parents are now? To be honest, I hate them very much and want to seek justice for my friends, so if I hear that they are not doing well, I will feel relieved." Xie Jiuyao said calmly.

Xie Ya smiled bitterly, and then said, "My mother can't bear the pain of exile. She had been...father still in Lingzhou a few years ago."

"That's good." Xie Jiuyao felt that the original body should be able to reincarnate with confidence. She looked at Xie Ya and said for a while: "Your life was exchanged for your sister. Regardless of whether she was voluntary or not, at least the reality is. I advise you not to take the imperial examination in this class. Be honest and ordinary people to live your life. You have already deceived Your Majesty. You have to go to His Majesty to deceive him for the second time?"

"No matter what, I have to thank you for telling me this first. I... can I stay here first?" Xie Ya seemed to be a little sage-free. Xie Jiuyao nodded: "I am in a hurry to stay here. If you want to stay, you can stay as long as you want."

"Thanks."

Xie Ya wiped his face. In fact, he was prepared in his heart, but he didn't expect that the news was a little worse than he thought. Yes, he was able to survive safely because someone replaced him.

With the character of a mother, the person who replaces his identity will never be allowed to survive, because the paper cannot keep the news. Sooner or later, it will be exposed. If it is exposed at that time, his ending will be even worse.

He just didn't expect his mother to be so brave, and to let his sister replace him and enter the palace.

It's simply...it's just a leopard's courage.

After all, he was sorry for Jiuer.

What's even more pitiful is that his sister didn't even leave a grave. If the people who died in the palace had family members, they could take the body back. If they didn't even have family members, no one would kindly buy a thin coffin for her to bury. Most of them would just roll it with a broken straw mat and throw it into the mass grave.

After so many years, it is so difficult to find that corpse again.

What was Xie Ya thinking in her heart? Xie Jiuyao didn't want to know that she was about to return to the palace in an urgent matter. Because of this, the emperor was even more determined to establish the prince.

I guess one will become the crown prince and the other will be directly awarded the king.

She was determined not to get involved, but she still had to go back to see what she should go back to see.

At least you have to be the one who knows the result first, right?

When Xie Jiuyao returned to the palace, the sky was almost dark, and she saw the light of the lantern from afar.

It was Wenque and others at the entrance of the palace.

"I knew you would be back today."
