That night, Ji Wu Jiu, slept at Kun Ning Palace.

Ye Zhen Zhen believed her broken leg would hinder him from doing anything, so she allowed him to do what he wants.

In the middle of the night, Ji Wu Jiu woke up. No one touched him, nor was he getting warm, but he still woke up, with wide eyes looking up and thoughts floating away. Suddenly in his views he saw a floating pair of hands, snow white and soft.

Truthfully, the emperor's bed business is much more open than the normal people, their face are thicker too, not really bothered or afraid that other people might see. But now, he is stealthily holding a woman's hand and doing that, it truly isn't something he should be proud of, it made him appear to unsatisfied in that matter.

However, the thing he is doing now, although not something to be proud of, and kind of not right, he finds it quite exciting, and it was something that he has never experienced before with other women.

That was why he was very happy, and confused.

Ye Zhen Zhen still does not know that happened. When she woke up in the morning she only felt that she had a nice sleep. After having breakfast, Wang You Cai hurried in to report "Your Majesty, Sun Gui Ren committed suicide!"

Because she just had breakfast, all her blood was going to her stomach, so her reaction was very slow. "Which Sun Gui Ren?"

"The Sun Gui Ren from Han Guang Palace, the one who got accused yesterday"

"Died?"

"Not yet, people helped her done already, Zhuang Concubine got someone to report to you immediately. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"No need, to commit suicide early in the morning, I think she does not really want to die. You go and report this matter to the emperor. Su Yue, pick a few jewelry and gift Sun Gui Ren, and say, that her innocent are known in both the emperor and empress, in the future there would not be anyone daring to gossip about her, and ask her to sincerely care for the emperor, don't need to think about others, and not allowed to make me and the emperor worried"

Both of them left quickly. Ye Zhen Zhen thought that although what Sun Gui Ren did was quite fake, but she was the victim yesterday, most probably Ji Wu Jiu will give her some face and do something about it. Exactly like how she thought, Wang You Cai returned and said that the emperor promoted Sun Gui Ren two ranks up as a 5th rank Mei Ren, and gave her a title "Zhen", seems like the cold person who was watching Xian Concubine bully another person was another person.

Seeing that Ji Wu Jiu was being so generous today, Ye Zhen Zhen also granted her more gifts, thinking that he seems to be in a good mood today. She was actually thinking about another matter, and seeing that he is in a good mood, she would talk with him about it as well.

"You want to add western teaching at Guo Zi Jian?" Ji Wu Jiu was listening to Ye Zhen Zhen's advice, and was surprised. Guo Zi Jian is the school for future politicians, and has only had taught about Chinese literatures, and to suddenly add a unknown western teaching there, even if he as the emperor were to agree, the old ministers and teachers there might not necessary accept.

"Yes, recently I have been going through some western people's history, although some is very bad, but there are also somethings that are worthy to learn. I as a woman, learning these things may not be useful, why not let our Da Qi men be exposed to these to learn something new. Western teaching does not need to be a compulsory subject, just put it at Guo Zi Jian, and let Mr Dou teach, anyone interested can just join if they want to.

When "As a woman" came out from Ye Zhen Zhen, Ji Wu Jiu heard her tone was very unwilling, and he thought it was funny. He kept quiet for a while, and answered, "This matter needs to be properly planned"

"Do not drag it too long, the faster the better. If you are afraid people cannot accept it, then why not let me be the leader of the western studies, and let Mr Dou be a teacher only. I will carry the hat of the empress, I think they would dare to say anything"

Ji Wu Jiu shook his head, "You are a "woman", to mix around with men, it would not be good, as for freedom of speech it is not something that can be stopped completely, it is better to go with the flow"

"then, your majesty…."

Ji Wu Jiu looked up, and gazed into her eyes and asked "why don't you first tell me why are you so anxious?"

Ye Zhen Zhen took a deep breath, and looked back seriously, "Your majesty, in this world, there is a place we don't understand, but they are observing us. What is scarier is that they have strong arm power, they can build stronger and bigger war ships than us, and they also have gun powder that are equally strong as us, this type of opponent, although not enemy now, we still have to be on our guards. Instead of waiting for them to attack us first, why don't we first understand them so that we can prepare first"

"How do you know if they will attack us?"

"Their king is supportive of public criminals like stealing, their pirates/criminals, as long as they bring back money, they can be big heroes, and be respected by the citizens, is that not enough? Etiquettes cannot win over crime, towards these type of people, we can only use force against them. The reason why they haven't attack us yet, is not because our Da Qi has strong arm forces and still can win over them, but because the cost to fight with us all the way from the west would be very costly, not something they can afford right now. Although this is now, but who can know what will happen in the future, so that is why now we must first take actions and to guard"

Ji Wu Jiu was quiet, and did not speak for a while.

"Your Majesty?" Ye Zhen Zhen thought that he was trying to think of ways to reject her idea.
