Junior nodded his head with red eyes.
If he had known that the young master would be injured, he would have followed him.
Lieutenant Wei sat on a chair to one side, still scared in his heart, not daring to imagine what would have happened to Song Yin if they had gone one step later.
Fortunately, fortunately, they had arrived, and although they were injured, they had saved a life after all.
……
The Capital
Song Wan Yue dropped a bomb on the Second Prince and was in a good mood as she and Song Si headed home, only the carriage had just arrived at the entrance to their home and before they could get off the carriage, a shrill voice rang out from outside the carriage, “Is it Miss Song inside the carriage?”
Hearing this familiar voice, Song Wangyue and Song Si looked at each other, Song Wangyue picked open half of the carriage curtain, “It’s me.”
The person who came was Eunuch Huang.
He looked at Song Wan Yue with a smile, “His Majesty has learnt that Miss Song has returned and has asked you to go into the palace to return the message.”
Song Wan Yue took a glance at the sky and said, “I’ve rushed all the way back, my body is covered in dirt, please ask Eunuch Huang to wait for a while, I’ll go home and bathe before going to see His Majesty.”
“Please also hurry, Miss Song.”
Song Wan Yue nodded her head and gave Xiao An a wink, who understood and invited Eunuch Huang and the others inside.
Song Wan Yue and Song Si then came down, Song Si went to the study and took the words that the Emperor might ask one by one รท pavilion and listed them out, writing out how to answer them underneath respectively.
Song Wangyue had water prepared, took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and also went to the study, reading over what Song Si had written and taking it to heart before going to see Eunuch Huang.
Qing’er was standing at a distance with several purses, and when she saw them come out, she immediately went forward and handed them to Eunuch Huang, who took them and put one of the larger ones in his sleeve, while handing the rest to the young eunuch behind him, “Don’t thank Miss Song yet.”
A few eunuchs were full of joy, “Thank you, Miss Song.”
He knew that Song Si had been on the carriage, but she hadn’t shown herself, so he pretended not to know.
“Miss Song, please.”
Song Wangyue followed him to the palace and arrived at the Hall of the Nurtured Heart.
“My daughter has seen His Majesty.”
Song Wangyue knelt in obeisance.
His Majesty put down the book in his hand, and his undefended eyes fell on her for a while before he spoke out, “Get up.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Song Wangyue got up and stood in place in a disciplined manner.
“Shen Yan has sent in a folding report, saying that the Third Prince went to the border to assassinate you, is that true?”
“Yes, if there hadn’t been someone sent by General Shen at the time, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to see the Emperor.”
“Oh? You tell me what happened at that time.”
Song Wangyue told me exactly what happened at that time, and after listening, the emperor vaguely caught something, “You said that the people around the Third Prince threw water on the people protecting you.”
“Yes.”
“Who is he?”
“Lieutenant Song.”
The emperor looked at Eunuch Huang, who immediately bowed and said, “Lieutenant Song joined the military camp four years ago, he is twenty years old this year, very good at arranging troops, and is highly valued by General Shen.”
Twenty years old?
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
The Third Prince was not an impulsive person, yet he had personally gone to the border to target that Song Yin, it was difficult to ……
Thinking of a certain possibility, he was vaguely excited, he was busy coughing lightly to suppress his excitement and nodded, “I have already gone to the decree and told Shen Yan to send someone to escort that rebellious son back to Youzhou, and strictly ordered him not to leave Youzhou one more step in the future, so you should not count on it.”
“The people’s daughter also thought so, and helped the third prince to plead with General Shen at first.”
“Good, good, good.”
The Emperor said three good words in a row, and after asking her hastily about the pills, he had someone send her out of the palace.
She had just left the gate of the Hall of the Nurtured Heart when the Emperor curbed his smile, “Huang De, you quickly send someone to the border, and investigate this Song Yin clearly.”
“Yes.”
……
“Moon.”
Song Wan Yue was just about to walk out of the palace entrance when she heard a call, she stopped and turned around, seeing Xu Yan walking quickly over, a smile immediately lifted up on her face, “Uncle.”
Xu Yan quickly walked up to her and looked her over for a few moments, seeing that she was fine before asking, “When did you come back?”
“An hour ago, first I went to the Household Ministry to ask for silver.”
That is, just shortly after arriving home, she was called to the palace by the Emperor.
“Your aunt misses you very much, just in time for you to come back with me.”
Song Wan Yue smiled and responded, letting Song Yi go back to deliver the letter, she did not go back for dinner, followed and got into Xu Yan’s carriage, after walking out a long way, Xu Yan said, “Say, what has happened?”
If it was because of the pill, the emperor would not have summoned Yue’er to the palace in such a hurry.
Song Wan Yue didn’t hide anything and told her about the Third Prince’s assassination. Before she finished, she saw Xu Yan’s face change in anger and quickly smiled to comfort her, “Uncle, there’s no need to be angry, he didn’t get any advantage and lost a lot of people, not to mention that he was still being held by Uncle Shen when I came.”
Only then did Xu Yan’s face lighten up a bit, “You should have written back in advance and asked Song Si to join him.”
“He’s already been relegated to Youzhou, even if he’s reprimanded he won’t be any worse, so why make big brother displeased by the emperor.”
“Yes, it was uncle’s impulsiveness.”
“Uncle is hurting me.”
“You do. ……”
Xu Yan smiled and pointed at her, asking about Shen Yan.
“Madam Shen and Ya’er followed along and came back, because they had to take the carriage, so we took some extra time on the way.”
“Ya’er?”
“It’s Uncle Shen’s daughter, pink and lovely.”
“I can’t believe he has a daughter.”
Xu Yan was both surprised and envious, after Shen Yan had gone to the border, they had not contacted each other again and he did not know that Shen Yan had a daughter.
“You and your aunt can have one too.”
Both of them were only in their thirties and were perfectly capable of having another child.
When his niece said this, Xu Yan instantly blushed. He wanted to say something to her, “Girls can’t talk about such topics casually, but then he thought that she was a doctor, so it might not mean anything.
The carriage stopped in front of the Xu residence, and the two of them got down and went to the main courtyard.
The maid in the courtyard was just about to salute when she saw them, but was stopped by Song Wan Yue, she tiptoed to the door, lifted the curtain and entered, “Auntie.”
Lady Xu Cotoneaster was sewing her clothes, and when she heard her voice, she put down the needle and thread in her hand in surprise, “When did you return?”
“An hour ago, I went to the palace to resume my orders, and I happened to run into uncle when I was leaving the palace gate.”
“Exhausted, I guess.”
Lady Xu Yan personally poured tea and handed it to her, and poured another one for Xu Yan before sitting down.
“I didn’t rush when I came back, so I’m not very tired. On the contrary, auntie, why do you look thinner?”
