The Grand Prince looked over at him, his epileptic eyes regaining their clarity.
The Grand Imperial Concubine carefully crossed over the debris and walked up to him, “Your Highness, think about it, how could things be so coincidental? You had just searched for Wu Jin, and the Wu family was involved in the soap matter. And Wu Jin’s death, why did he disappear for no reason, and how did he escape from the place where he was being held? If the other side wanted to silence him, how could they make such a big mistake?”
The Grand Prince slowly narrowed his eyes, he had been overwhelmed by the news that Song Yin was Chu Yunxiao and hadn’t thought of this. Now that he thought about it, those people had set up the trap long ago and were just waiting for him to get into it step by step.
“Damn it!”
“Fortunately, there is still room for manoeuvre, as long as His Highness strictly orders the people in the house not to say anything about what happened today, no one will know, and they will not notice.”
The Grand Prince shook his head in dismay, “There is also the Father.”
He shouldn’t have been in such a hurry, he should have made sure that Song Yin was not Chu Yunxiao before he went to his father to take credit for it.
When he thought of how disappointed his father would be when he heard about it, the Grand Prince’s body was filled with hostility, “It’s Lao Er, it must be Lao Er again!”
It was Lao Er who had set this up, causing him to lose face in front of his father, lose his father’s trust, and lose the chance to win the crown prince.
It must be Lao Er, he would not let Lao Er go!
“Take them down, feed them with sober soup!”
……
Song Wan Yue opened her eyes and before she could rub her forehead, she heard a gentle voice, “Miss Song, are you awake?”
Song Wan Yue looked over.
The Grand Imperial Concubine looked at her with concern, “Does your head hurt? I told His Highness, this wine has a strong aftertaste, how could he persuade you to drink so much.”
“I don’t blame His Highness, it’s because I was too greedy.”
The palace maid next to her hurriedly came to her aid, helping her sit up and putting a cushion behind her.
The Grand Imperial Concubine herself had wet a handkerchief and handed it to her.
“Thank you.”
Song Wangyue took it and wiped her face haphazardly, looking at the Grand Imperial Concubine with a casual gesture.
Xu Qingyuan was also considered a lady of the house, although she had lost her memory for more than ten years, the upbringing and rules engraved in her bones should be deep-rooted, how could her daughter be so casual?
However, she only froze for a moment, and the smile on her face was cordial, “It’s good that Miss Song doesn’t blame His Highness, the two of them are in the other guest room, and they have already had their sobriety soup, they should have woken up too.”
“I’ve given you trouble.”
“Miss Song you are welcome, you are guests in the house, it is naturally our responsibility to get drunk, don’t worry, there will be no next time.”
The palace maid brought water, and the Grand Imperial Concubine personally brought it to Song Wangyue.
Song Wan Yue was flattered and drank it clean in one gulp.
The Grand Imperial Concubine couldn’t bear to look at her and averted her eyes. If Song Wangyue wasn’t useful, she wouldn’t have wanted to look at such a person.
Song Wan Yue gave the cup to the palace maid, who retreated, and after the Grand Imperial Concubine had spoken a little more politely, the palace maid came in, “Mr Xu and Mr Song said it was getting late, and if Song Wan Yue was alright, they should go back early.”
The Grand Imperial Concubine breathed a sigh of relief and got up, Song Wangyue also hurriedly got off the bed, put on her shoes, straightened her clothes and followed her to the flower hall.
Xu Yan and “Song Yin” were waiting, and when they saw that she looked clear, they knew that she had completely sobered up.
The eldest prince was still a bit unclear, and without any attitude, he put one hand on his forehead, “Miss Song is a good drinker, let’s have another one sometime. ”
The Grand Imperial Concubine scolded him, “Your Highness also said, “You don’t care about Miss Song, I still care about her, I can’t let him drink with you anymore, I’ll drink fruit wine with him.”
“It’s good, isn’t there a lot of fruit wine brewed in the mansion, have someone carry two altars for Miss Song.”
The Grand Imperial Concubine sent someone to carry them.
Xu Yan took the opportunity to get up and say goodbye.
The Grand Prince asked the butler to see them out, and the palace staff carried two jars of fruit wine and put them on the carriage. Song Wan Yue thanked them and the few of them rode back to the house.
Only when their carriage was far away did the housekeeper turn around and go back.
The people from the Second Prince’s residence took the opportunity to approach the carriage, “Miss Song ……”
Song Wangyue opened the small window.
“The master has asked you to go to the mansion.”
Song Wan Yue nodded and called out to Xu Yan after turning the corner, “Uncle go back first, it’s still early, let’s go for a stroll.”
Although he had drunk the sobering soup, Xu Yan’s head still hurt a little, he nodded, “Go home early.”
Song Wangyue responded.
When Xu Yan’s carriage was far away, she looked at “Song Yin” on the side, “Can you still hold on?”
“Song Yin nodded, he was a good drinker, but he had drunk a lot for Song Wan Yue.
Song Wangyue ordered the carriage driver to go to the mansion.
The second prince had been waiting impatiently for three hours.
He had wanted to wait for the two to arrive and question them directly, but instead he smelled the strong smell of alcohol.
“How much have you drunk?”
“Just a few drinks.”
“A few drinks?”
The second prince was obviously not convinced, three hours had passed, if it was a few cups the smell of wine on his body would have dissipated long ago.
“Your Highness is unaware that the Grand Prince is ostensibly inviting us to drink, but in reality he is trying to get things out of us about you.”
The second prince was startled, “What did he ask?”
“He asked us if the Third Prince was killed by you?”
The Second Prince almost stood up in shock, “How did the Boss know that?”
When he killed the third prince, he sent out secret guards, and those secret guards were only respected by him, and would never reveal half a word.
Song Wan Yue shook her head, “We don’t know this, we just heard people in the mansion whispering when we pretended to be drunk, saying that last night Wu Jin crawled to the Grand Prince’s mansion with his last breath and said something to the Grand Prince.”
“Damn Wu Jin!”
The Second Prince pounded his fist on the tabletop fiercely, he had sent his men to look for Wu Jin yesterday and had searched everywhere within a five-mile radius of the Wu Residence without finding him, not knowing who had captured him.
“Your Highness should prepare early, since the Grand Prince has aroused this suspicion, he will certainly not give up easily.”
“What else did he ask?”
Song Wan couldn’t help but raise her hand to rub her forehead, “Everything else was just some minor things, except that he was afraid that we wouldn’t tell the truth and poured a lot of wine into us, even I wasn’t spared, I drank a lot and really had a bad headache.”
“Then you all go back and get some rest.”
……
The Grand Prince’s House.
After several people had left, the Grand Prince sat motionless at his end.
It was almost dark and the palace gates would close if he didn’t enter the palace, so the Grand Imperial Consort couldn’t help but remind him, “Your Highness, Father is still waiting for you.”
The Grand Prince didn’t know that. But he did not dare to go for fear of seeing his father’s disappointment in him. He was only one step away from the crown prince’s throne, but now he felt as if he would never get it.
“I know that Your Highness is unwilling to face it, but if you don’t go, it will make Father even more disappointed in you. A crown prince cannot be without the courage to face defeat, and as long as Your Highness promises Father that you will find Chu Yunxiao, Father will certainly not give up on you.”
