Chapter 525: Demonstrating One's Innocence with Death

  The weather today was exceptionally sunny. Golden light scattered across the land, but it could not brighten Su Ying's glum-looking eyes.

 When they knew that Su Ying would be coming, all the persons-in-charge of the academy came out to wait outside the academy's gate very early.

 At this juncture, the parents who came to visit the academy had also arrived. Although they did not have to come so early, they did not dare to be lackadaisical. Many people had already arrived outside the academy before dawn.

 "Her Imperial Highness the Empress has arrived."

 The crowd split into two queues outside the academy's gate. As soon as Su Ying's horse carriage arrived, the people all stepped forward to kowtow.

 "Greetings, Your Imperial Highness."

 Zhou Qing helped Su Ying out of the horse carriage.

 Su Ying's icy eyes swept across everyone. "You may all rise."

 "Thank you, Your Imperial Highness."
