I am a ruler in troubled times

When Song Peiyu heard this, she immediately ran to the flower hall.

Lai Fu, Jin Bao and the others didn't care about the little eunuch's inability to speak, and chased after Song Peiyu one after another.

The situation in the flower hall was much better than Song Peiyu imagined.

Although King Su, Princess Chang, Mu Wan and Chong Yi were standing on one side, and there was a bloodshot long sword hanging on the ground in the middle, everyone except Chong Yi had very ugly expressions on their faces.

But Song Peiyu didn't see any obvious wounds on Chong Yi's body. After searching for a while, he found that there were blood droplets condensing on Chong Yi's right fingertips.

Song Peiyu silently walked behind Chong Yi, pulled out the handkerchief from his cuff, and stuffed it into Chong Yi's hand.

Mu Wan was crying in a way that Song Peiyu had never seen before.

It's not the angry and sharp crying of the past, but the suppression of grievances and pains that can't be vented wantonly, "I know that elder sister has always had opinions on me, but Suzaku is my child after all, how can you..."

Mu Wan paused as if she was exhausted, and fell to the ground, not even caring about the handkerchief, and directly wiped the tears that kept pouring out with her hands, but she still insisted on looking at the eldest princess.

She let out a suppressed cry, "Why do you suspect that I want to kill my own child?"

The eldest princess's face was cold, and she was not at all moved by Mu Wan's cry, "Are you still harming Suzaku?"

"I killed Suzaku?" Mu Wan put her hands on the ground, her white and thin joints collapsed into a straight line. She looked up at the eldest princess, but she didn't lose to the eldest princess in terms of momentum. Suzaku, why did Suzaku come back to me at the age of five, and you didn't find out that there was Suzaku in the backyard of the General's Mansion until Chongzong died?"

"Where were you when Suzaku was five to 12 years old?" Mu Wan showed a very bleak smile, but her voice became clearer, "Didn't I raise Suzaku according to your thoughts?"

"Poison woman!" Su Wang, who had never said a word, suddenly raised his head, looking at Concubine Mu Gui viciously, "What did you say?!"

"Did you fall into my mind?" Mu Wan got up from the ground, approached the furious King Su with her head held high, and asked repeatedly, "Back then, Chongshan married me for the power of the Mu family, but because of this, he was also deeply involved. If it wasn't for God's open eyes, Chongzong would have died early. Chongshan has never given birth to another son. No matter how many concubines you have, you can only give birth to daughters one after another. My Suzaku can live until now ?"

King Su would never see anyone talking about his eldest son who died young. Mu Wan's words, every word, stepped outside his tolerance line and trampled wildly.

He doesn't have a rule not to touch women!

On the contrary, the eldest princess who was holding the sword just now and was about to kill Mu Wan calmed down and stopped the angry King Su.

The eldest princess doesn't care about Mu Wan's life or death, but cares about Chong Yi's opinion.

She was afraid that Chongyi would be separated from Emperor Yonghe because of Mu Wan's nonsense.

The eldest princess stopped King Su, took the initiative to take a few steps back, and said coldly, "These words, let's wait until we are sure that there is nothing wrong with Suzaku's medicine."

Mu Wan's eyes, through the long-lost hair, fixedly stared at the eldest princess and King Su, and suddenly picked up the bloodshot long sword on the ground and put it on her neck, "If there is really a problem with Suzaku's medicine , you don’t need to do it, I’ll finish it myself.”

Following Mu Wan's movements, a strand of hair fell down Mu Wan's shoulder.

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes suspiciously, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Let..." the eldest princess looked at Chong Yi, but was interrupted by King Su, who stood aggrieved behind the eldest princess and shouted in a muffled voice, "Come here! Call me all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to the East Palace Come!"

Today, he not only wants to let Suzaku see this woman's snake-like heart, but also let all the officials know about Mu's wolfish ambitions.

The eldest princess silently shut her mouth.

That's right, they let Mu Wan go for so many years, not only because of the Mu family, but also because they took Suzaku into consideration.

Let Suzaku personally expose that Mu Wan poisoned his detoxification medicine, which is too cruel to Suzaku.

Song Peiyu patted the back of Chong Yi's hand reassuringly under the cover of his body, and before his hand was held back, he had strode out of the flower hall.

Song Peiyu caught up with Eunuch An who had ordered Laifu to invite the imperial physician, who was standing quietly and sighing.

From Eunuch An's mouth, Song Peiyu finally knew the cause and effect.Every time Chong Yi's medicine was boiled, it was served immediately.

However, the imperial physician had instructed Chong Yi to wait for the medicine to cool down before taking it, so that the efficacy of the medicine could be maximized.

So every time Chong Yi waited for a stick of incense to be served before drinking the medicine.

Today, Mu Wan, Su Wang and the eldest princess gathered in the flower hall again, and it was Mu Wan who tried her best to gossip with Chong Yi, while Su Wang and the eldest princess listened quietly.

On the way, Mu Wan went out to change clothes, but when she came back, she suddenly slipped and rushed to the table where the medicine was placed, almost knocking over Chong Yi's medicine.

In order to avoid the table where the medicine was placed, Mu Wan even fell to the ground.

The eldest princess insisted that she saw Mu Wan sprinkle something into Chong Yi's medicine, and she was going to kill Mu Wan when she drew King Su's sword.

This is in Chongyi's East Palace, except for the palace people brought by Mu Wan, most of them don't have a good impression of Mu Wan.

Even the palace servants brought by Mu Wan did not dare to stop the eldest princess holding the sword for Mu Wan.

Mu Wan could only flee in embarrassment and hide behind Chong Yi.

Chong Yi clamped the sword body with two fingers, stopping the eldest princess.

Recalling the situation just now, Eunuch An couldn't help but put his hand over his heart, with both fear and pride on his face, "The eldest princess is determined to kill the noble concubine Zhuo, and she is merciless with her sword. Block the princess's sword with two fingers."

But he was hurt.

Although it's just a wound that can't be found if you see it later.

But Song Peiyu was still not happy.

Song Peiyu lowered his eyelids, recalling all the things that happened after he entered the flower hall.

As soon as I got some clues, all the imperial doctors who were on duty at the imperial hospital arrived.

Song Peiyu stopped Eunuch An who wanted to go to meet the imperial physician, and was fair to Eunuch An, "Go back and persuade Concubine Zhuo, and tell her that even if she has no face, Your Highness is the crown prince, but you can't be ashamed with her."

It's rare for Eunuch An to be unable to react.

Zhuo Guifei prescribes medicine, His Highness is the victim.

How could His Highness be influenced by Concubine Zhuo?

But Eunuch An has long been used to following Song Peiyu's orders, although he felt it was unnecessary, he did not refute Song Peiyu, turned around and walked into the flower hall.

It wasn't until he opened the door of the Flower Hall and saw that Mu Wan was still in messy clothes, with loose hair, holding King Su's sword around his neck, that Eunuch An suddenly realized.

Master Song explained that he persuaded Concubine Zhuo because he did not want people from the Tai Hospital to see Concubine Zhuo's gesture.

Not for the concubine, nor for His Highness, but for the eldest princess.

Master Song didn't want Concubine Zhuo to have the opportunity to make this matter a big deal.

Does Mr. Song feel that Concubine Zhuo didn't take His Highness's medicine?

Eunuch An moved his lips, and his legs moved much faster than before.

He followed Song Peiyu's instructions to persuade Mu Wan to tidy up her appearance first, or force Mu Wan to tidy up her appearance.

Eunuch An didn't mention the eldest princess in a single sentence, but only said that Mu Wan, as the prince's biological mother, was seen in such a state of embarrassment by the people in the imperial hospital in the prince's east palace, which would definitely have a bad influence on the prince.

Mu Wan lowered her eyelashes to block the disgusted irritability in it, "Eunuch An, don't persuade me too much, I am so embarrassed because of the eldest princess. For the court, no matter how unbearable the crown prince's birth mother is, it is no worse than poisoning the crown prince." Even more frightening."

After hearing Mu Wan's words, Eunuch An felt that Song Peiyu's worry was justified.

He absolutely did not believe that someone like Mu Wan would commit suicide.

With Mu Wan's stubborn appearance, no matter how you look at it, she is grabbing the handle of the eldest princess, and wants to drag the eldest princess to continue messing around.

Eunuch An looked at the Eldest Princess vaguely, and asked the Eldest Princess whether to let the people from the Tai Hospital leave.

After seeing Eunuch An's gaze, the eldest princess shook her head almost invisible.

She also noticed something was wrong, but she felt that Mu Wan was deceiving her.

If the people from Tai Hospital were not called, even if Chong Yi found poison in the medicine, he would forgive Mu Wan like he did countless times before.

But she was fed up, ever since Mu Wan pulled Chongzong out and tried to provoke their relationship with Chong Yi, in the eyes of the eldest princess, Mu Wan was already a dead person.

Eunuch An went to see Chong Yi again.

Chong Yi was sitting on a chair, looking at the handkerchief with a calm face.

It seems to be studying the pattern on the handkerchief.

"You're joking." Eunuch An turned his gaze back to Mu Wan, "If any scandal happens in an ordinary family's house, they all know to cover it with a patched sackcloth to keep others from knowing, let alone the Tian family?"

"When Laifu went to the imperial hospital to spread the word, he told the imperial physicians that a suspicious court lady was caught in the East Palace, who looked like a spy from another country. To be on the safe side, the imperial physicians were asked to see the medicine that His Highness had not yet imported."

Mu Wan couldn't bear it anymore, her hand holding the long sword didn't shake, but she looked at Eunuch An with a hostile look.

Seeing this, Eunuch An felt that the eldest princess was confused because she didn't realize that she had already entered the set.

"Presumably, you don't want the people in the court to discuss that the crown prince's biological mother is acting like a crazy woman in the East Palace... Where do you let His Highness lose face?"

Mu Wan followed Eunuch An's voice and looked at Chong Yi, and found that Chong Yi was staring at her with open black eyes.

Thinking of what the person who sent the letter to her said, as well as her father's ardent confession in the letter, Mu Wan gritted her teeth fiercely, and at the same time tasted the bloody taste in her mouth, she used force to draw a long and thin line on her neck. red marks.

Her goal is not that bitch, but her child.

When the great cause is accomplished, she must repay all the insults she has suffered a hundredfold!

'kuang'

A crisp voice sounded.

King Su's sword fell to the ground and smashed another glazed brick.

Mu Wan lowered her eyelashes, and said in a low voice, "Please trouble my father-in-law to ask someone to come and make up with me. My son is pure and kind. I'm afraid he won't be able to stand up to the coaxing of the eldest princess and King Su, and he won't be able to see the medicine bowl. If he is framed to death by the eldest princess, How can I rest in peace?"

Eunuch An hesitated for a while, seeing that the other people in the room were still indifferent, and did not force Mu Wan to go to other rooms to refresh her makeup again.

Forget it, today's matter has reached this level, after all, the eldest princess and the noble concubine Zhuo... Sigh.

After Eunuch An summoned him again, the imperial physicians who were appeased by Song Peiyu entered the flower hall one by one, and tested Chong Yi's medicine respectively.

Two hours passed, the good medicine was completely cold, and the imperial physicians finally came to a conclusion.

The imperial hospital said to the people who had been waiting for a long time, "There is nothing in the medicine of His Royal Highness that does not belong to the prescription, and the properties of this bowl of medicine have not changed. Let the small kitchen heat the medicine, and His Highness will drink it as usual." That's it. I think Mr. An caught the trick before that secret agent could do anything."

"Is there really no problem with the medicine?" The eldest princess asked coldly.

Taiyuan Hospital was stunned for a moment, and bowed to the eldest princess, "If you go back to the eldest princess, there is indeed no problem."

After tidying up her outer clothes and redressing her makeup, she sat quietly on a chair. Mu Wan, who had never spoken a word, raised her head, and the bloodstain on her neck that had never been wiped was clearly exposed in everyone's sight.

"Does the eldest princess not believe in the diagnosis of the imperial physicians? Why don't you let the imperial physicians of the eldest princess' mansion take a look, maybe they can diagnose the result that the eldest princess wants."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the flower hall immediately froze.

Seeing that the eldest princess had an angry look on her face, as if she wanted to argue with Mu Wan, Song Peiyu hurried out to smooth things over, and immediately asked Laifu to take the medicine that was diagnosed as safe by the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital, and take it to the small kitchen to heat it up.

Then he personally took the imperial physicians from the imperial hospital to leave the flower hall and go to other halls to receive the rewards.

Words imply that the imperial physicians only care about treating patients and saving lives, and don't care too much about the words of the nobles.

After sending all the imperial physicians out of the gate of the East Palace, Song Peiyu turned her head to look in the direction of the flower hall, and couldn't help shaking her head.

He didn't believe that a person would change his behavior and way of thinking for no reason. Mu Wan's changes were even more outrageous than that of Huiyang County Lord, and she must have been instructed by an expert.

Mu Shizhong or Mu Shi, can't wait anymore?

Because of this episode, until Chong Yi drank the overheated medicine, King Su and the eldest princess kept gloomy faces and did not say a word.

After the two left the East Palace, they went straight to Qinzheng Palace.

But Mu Wan stayed and said she would have dinner with Chong Yi.

Song Peiyu ignored Mu Wan's knife-like eyes and hints in her words, and found an excuse to stay.

He was worried about letting Mu Wan be alone with Chong Yi.

No matter how much Eunuch An protects Chong Yi, after all, his status is far behind and he is easy to suffer.

Chong Yi is an adult prince, no matter how much Mu Wan finds reasons, it is impossible for her to stay in the East Palace at night.

On the contrary, Song Peiyu didn't have such worries. Since he started to be the prince's companion, the East Palace had his exclusive room.

In the end, no matter how unwilling Mu Wan was, she had no choice but to turn around and leave. The most she could do was to let Chong Yi send her to the gate of the inner palace.

Even so, Song Peiyu still followed Chongyi, so that Mu Wan didn't have any chance to talk to Chongyi alone.

When they arrived at the gate of the inner palace, Mu Wan's penetrating gaze swept across Song Peiyu's face, and when it fell on Chong Yi's face, it had turned into love and reluctance, "Don't send it off, you should come back sooner." Rest in the East Palace."

Chong Yi stopped in good faith, "Yes"

Mu Wan stood still and looked at Chong Yi for a while, then stretched out her hand to half cover the bloodstain on her neck, and entered the inner palace with the help of the maid.

Before the gate of the inner palace was completely closed, Mu Wan turned her head again, the reluctance in her eyes became more and more obvious, and she said loudly, "Go back quickly, don't let mother worry!"

Following Mu Wan's last word, the inner palace gate was completely closed.

After a long time, Chong Yi let out an 'hmm' and turned around.

Song Peiyu personally took the glazed lantern from Fu's hand, motioned them not to follow too closely, and strode up to Chong Yi who was standing a few steps away waiting for him.

In the past two years, the entire Xianyang Palace has been repaired one after another, and it has already taken on a new look. It no longer has the atmosphere of being a haunted house in broad daylight.

Song Peiyu silently counted the bluestone floor tiles under her feet, and suddenly raised her head to look at Chong Yi beside her.

From his angle, he could just have a panoramic view of Chongyi's angular profile.

Chong Yi always catches Song Peiyu's eyes immediately, and this time is no exception.

He immediately turned his head, and his eyes met Song Peiyu's probing eyes.

Song Peiyu squeezed the round handle of the glazed lamp a little harder, and took the initiative to look away, looking at the bluestone floor tiles under her feet again, "You..."

Song Peiyu suddenly didn't know how to ask Chong Yi about Mu Wan.

It seems that no matter how you say it, there is a feeling of speaking ill of their mother in front of others.

This made Song Peiyu rarely feel hesitant.

Chong Yi seemed to have seen through Song Peiyu's thoughts, and was willing to speak up, "I know she is lying a lot of times."

"Ah..." Song Peiyu didn't know what to say anymore, whether it was for Chong Yi to admit it, or for Chong Yi to say it himself, it was too cruel, Song Peiyu had already begun to feel distressed.

Chong Yi didn't have Song Peiyu's concerns, and didn't even hesitate, "She is my biological mother."

"Yes," Song Peiyu responded, and the figure of Mrs. Liu flashed in his mind.

When he was still young, he grew up in the yard of his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

According to the master's instructions, the servants at home also called him linu instead of Qiye, as if he was the youngest son of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, not Mrs. Liu's child.

He seldom had the opportunity to go to Mrs. Song's courtyard alone, and the occasions when he could see Mrs. Liu alone were even more rare.

Every time we met, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but burst into tears, but she was so afraid of scaring him, or she didn't want to waste the only time they had together, in the end, her eyes were red but there were not many tears.

So much so that when she was young, Song Peiyu's deepest impression on Madam Liu was Madam Liu's eyes.

Those are bipolar tender eyes.

Song Peiyu waited for Chong Yi's next words with complicated emotions, but she couldn't wait until she could see the gate of the East Palace, so she couldn't help asking in a low voice, "And then?"

Chong Yi turned to look at Song Peiyu, but only saw the jade hairpin on Song Peiyu's head.

He looked at the moon in the sky following the light condensed on the jade hairpin, his eyes flashed blankly, "How should I treat her?"

In the past 9 years, Chong Yi has never seen his biological father and mother, but he has seen many female cultivators who are about to give birth to children, or who are carrying children.

He knew that when a female nun gave birth to a child, she supported the child with her own cultivation.

If the child's talent is average, similar to that of a female cultivator, it is rare for a female cultivator to give birth to stagnant cultivation.

If the child's talent is extraordinary, far better than that of the female cultivator, it will crazily plunder the female cultivator's cultivation base and even her foundation.

In that world, mother and child are the most profound cause and effect.

In fact, among Chong Yi's 9 years, the first 2 years were all for this karma.

In the past 2 years, he avenged the killing of his father and mother in countless pursuits, and he also heard many stories about his father and mother during this period.

In the eyes of some people, his parents are the overlords who occupy one side and provide shelter for many people.

In some people's eyes, his parents are bloodthirsty and murderous monsters, everyone can kill them.

He heard too much of these news, and over time, he could no longer cause any fluctuations in Chong Yi's heart.

Especially in the next 7 years, no one told him that his father and mother were not good, and he wished to describe his parents as great saints who were willing to do good.

Chong Yi sneered at this, his parents are demons, not Buddhist practitioners.

Ninety thousand years have passed, and Chong Yi has become a more powerful demon than his parents, but he still doesn't know how to face his parents, especially his biological mother.

Emperor Yonghe still has some resemblance to his rumored father in his previous life.

However, Mu Wan is not the slightest resemblance to the rumored mother in his previous life.

Then let her have some.

Chongyi knew that this would make Emperor Yonghe unhappy.

But Emperor Yonghe is just unhappy, but Mu Wan will seek death and life.

Let's go with Mu Wan, he doesn't want to force his biological mother to death.

Even though he knew that Mu Wan couldn't really commit suicide because of his disobedience, Chong Yi still didn't want to have any relationship with the 'death mother'.

How did Song Peiyu know that Chong Yi tolerated Mu Wan in every possible way, because Chong Yi had seen too many "big winds and waves", and he didn't remember the harm Mu Wan brought to him at all.

In Chong Yi's eyes, whether it's the extremely delicate stomach that was once raised, or the frequent beating, scolding and punishment...

Not even flesh wounds.

Instead, it was Mu Wan's continuous accusations that made Chong Yi feel harsh and upset, and didn't want to hear more.

In contrast, Chong Yi would rather follow Mu Wan's wishes and live a completely different life from his previous life.

Kind of fun.

At least before meeting Song Peiyu.

Chong Yi thinks that a life different from the previous life can be regarded as interesting.

It's just that Chong Yi said in a blank tone, 'How should I treat her? ', for Song Peiyu, it was a critical blow.

Song Peiyu's free hand silently held Chong Yi's hand that was sticking to his side, and said in a muffled voice, "If she treats you well, you treat her well. If she treats you badly, you don't have to pay attention to her."

Chong Yi's blank gaze became thoughtful, and when he stepped into the gate of the East Palace, Chong Yi held Song Peiyu's hand instead, "She is willing to give birth to me, it is because she is doing good to me."

Except mother and child, who would risk their lives just to bring another person into this world.

Song Peiyu never thought that one day, he would put the word 'simple' on Chong Yi.

"That's not the case." Song Peiyu told Chongyi firmly, "She wants to raise you well, so she gave birth to you, which is good for you. If she gave birth to you for other purposes, it is not good for you .”

Chong Yi made an 'hmm' sound, and remembered that night of war and chaos.

Mu Wan gave birth to him to let others live in his place.

and so……

Next time he feels that Mu Wan's words upset him, just throw her out.

Song Peiyu saw the thoughtful look on Chongyi's face, and silently swallowed the rest of the words.

He was wrong, he shouldn't judge Chongyi's thoughts with his own thoughts.

He came from a more open-minded age, when parents and children were first separate individuals and then relatives to each other.

In this era, clan etiquette is the most important thing, and loyalty and filial piety are considered good.

In the eyes of most people, children are the appendages of their parents.

Although Chongyi has always shown that he doesn't care about the world's views, it is only manifested in his indifference to the throne.

He would be angry because he misunderstood Song Peiyu's joke that King Su was rude, and deliberately tricked Song Peiyu into eating the particularly unpalatable winter fruit.

He will pay special attention to the eldest princess, and even notice Wei Zhiyuan, who is not very eye-catching in the elementary school.

……

This kind of Chongyi will give Mu Wan a chance again and again.

It doesn't seem that hard to understand either.

Because of the brief conversation with Chong Yi, Song Peiyu couldn't sleep all night.

After tossing and turning, there was no sleepiness at all, so Song Peiyu simply got up from the bed.

Light the lamp and write a notebook!

Nezha eviscerates the bones and returns the father and cuts the flesh to return the mother.

As soon as he wrote the words, Song Peiyu painted the words with a brush.

No, it's too extreme.

If Chong Yi really wanted to learn from Nezha, where would he cry?

The stories that can be widely circulated in the era that Song Peiyu lived in are basically the products of the era, and they will all be attributed to the "parents who are everything in the world" in the end.

Song Peiyu thought about it, and felt that none of the stories was suitable for Chong Yi to tell.

Then you can only do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.

Song Peiyu wrote the framework of eight short stories in the form of units.

In the end, the six stories are true mothers who are kind and filial to their sons, and only two stories are mothers who treat their children as tools that can be used from the beginning.

Song Peiyu wants Chong Yi to see what a true motherly heart looks like, but she can't bear to let Chong Yi bear the pain of being extremely disappointed in her mother when she fully recognizes Mu Wan.

After finishing the rough draft in the bright sunlight, Song Peiyu sighed a long time.

After writing these stories, he hopes from the bottom of his heart that Chong Yi and Mu Wan will eventually become true loving mothers and filial sons.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Emperor Yonghe showed mercy to Mu Wan without concealing his dislike for Mu Wan.

However, nine out of ten times life is unsatisfactory.

Song Peiyu sent the first draft to Mingkelou, and asked Mingkelou's husband who was in charge of writing the book to refine it.

Before he got the new manuscript in his hands, the atmosphere in the courtroom became confusing.

The Mu family, who had been silent for almost three years, acted like crazy, recklessly attacking the Song family and the Lu family.

Emperor Yonghe, who used to be on the opposite side of the Mu family, changed his previous attitude and went along with the impeachment of the Mu family, dragging down many members of the Song and Lu clans.

The turmoil from the Mu family, the Lu family, and the Song family made people in the court panic, and even Song Peiyu could not be at peace.

On the contrary, Mu Wan is very honest, as if she really wants to change her past.

Chong Yi drank all the detoxification soup made from Tianshan snow lotus as the main medicine, and after completely getting rid of the residual poison in her body, Mu Wan still came to the East Palace every day to sit and sit.

Or bring some homemade food, or bring homemade needlework.

Talking softly to Chong Yi, he will leave voluntarily, and never say anything to embarrass Chong Yi, as if he knows nothing about the turmoil in the court and doesn't care

Although the food that Mu Wan brought had a strange taste, and the needlework she brought was not as good as that of the eldest princess, Chong Yi never refused.

Song Peiyu saw every detail of Mu Wan's relationship with Chong Yi, and became even more worried.

How should he tell Chong Yi that Mu Wan's current behavior is to fatten up the pig before killing it.

The person who suffered the most was Song Peiyu's third brother soon.

Song San didn't have any talent in official career, so he took up a spare job, and spent his mind on taking care of the household affairs in the past.

There are a lot of people like Song San in the court, and there is no chance of making big mistakes. If you want to find some small problems in them, you can't find one.

Song San not only lost his official position, but also had to think about it at home for half a year.

In other words, at least within a year, Song San will not be able to return to the court.

After Song Peiyu heard about this, she deliberately went back to the house earlier to visit her third brother, but found that her third brother was in a good mood, even considered good.

Speaking of thinking about mistakes behind closed doors, he was still in the mood to joke with Song Peiyu, saying that he could put all his thoughts on the general affairs of the clan.

Coming out of the third room, Song Peiyu went to look for Song Jinyu again, and it happened that Song Jingming was also there.

"Just came back from your third brother?" Song Jinyu asked Song Peiyu casually, still keeping his eyes on the document in his hand.

"Hmm..." Song Peiyu stood beside Song Jinyu, looking at Song Jinyu with serious eyes.

He always felt that if something big happened in the court, from Mu Wan to the whole Mu family, there would be nothing normal.

Song Jinyu was so stared at by the real eyes that he couldn't concentrate, so he could only put down the half-read document, looked at Song Peiyu with condemning eyes, and complained, "Why did I become a lot more frizzy after going to Honglu Temple? .”

Song Peiyu had nothing to say about this. He also found that he was not as secure as before in the matter of Mu Wan and the Mu family, but he couldn't control it, and he didn't want to control it.

Fortunately, Song Jinyu just said it casually, and didn't mean to blame Song Peiyu for it.

He told Song Peiyu that the Mu family used the eldest princess to frame Mu Wan in public for poisoning Chongyi to blackmail Emperor Yonghe. The turmoil in the court these days is the regress of Emperor Yonghe.

The commander of Jingwei will soon have a deputy commander surnamed Mu.

Hearing this, Song Peiyu almost couldn't hold back the irritability in her heart.

The Commander of Jingwei is responsible for guarding the capital and guarding the palace, and the Qianniuwei under King Su belong to Yonghe Emperor's private soldiers, so they don't have to obey the orders of the five armies.

There was originally only one commander in the Jingwei Command and Envoy Division, who was the third younger brother of Empress Yuan and Luo Yong's father.

Yonghe Diken asked Mu to reach out to the commander of Jingwei, either raising tigers or fishing to enforce the law.

In view of the fact that Emperor Yonghe not only refused to visit Chongyi in the East Palace for so long, but also specially asked Eunuch Meng to send a message to Chongyi, so that Chongyi could rest in the East Palace to recuperate without having to go to Qinzheng Palace to pay his respects.

Song Peiyu reasonably speculated that Emperor Yonghe was fishing for law enforcement.

Including the fact that Lu and Song have been oppressed by Mu's recently, they are all trying to confuse Mu, or encourage Mu's courage.

The day when Mu Clan couldn't help but do it would be the time for Emperor Yonghe to close the net.

Song Peiyu reached out and tapped on the table a few times, then asked hesitantly, "Then what about Your Highness and Mu... and Your Highness and Concubine Zhuo?"

"You don't have to worry about Your Highness, His Majesty's all considerations are for His Highness. As for Concubine Zhuo..." Song Jinyu suddenly looked up at Song Peiyu, with undisguised inquiry in his eyes, "Why do you care about this?"

"Huh?" Song Peiyu didn't expect Song Jinyu to ask him that, and was stopped for a while.

Of course he was afraid that Chong Yi would be influenced by Mu Wan.

Even if it won't affect your status, it will affect your mood.

"Imperial Concubine Zhuo is His Majesty's concubine. If she did nothing wrong, no one can do anything to her. Even the Eldest Princess was secretly impeached for misunderstanding Concubine Zhuo, forcing His Majesty to retreat repeatedly to appease Mu. " Song Jinyu suddenly stood up and looked at Song Peiyu, and told Song Peiyu seriously, "I know that you have an extraordinary friendship with Your Highness, but you must stick to your duty as a courtier and don't interfere too much in Your Highness's family affairs."

What Song Jinyu said, especially the second half, made Song Peiyu very guilty.

Song Peiyu still took chances, tried not to show more flaws, and nodded obediently, "I see."

Song Jingming came to see Song Jinyu for business.

He went to the Ministry of Households to practice after a year, and wanted to ask Song Jinyu if he knew when Zhao Guo would send someone to go to the Western Regions with King Xiang of Chu.

Song Jinyu smiled, "How did you tell Zuo Shilang?"

"I have already rejected the servant. My father has a very strict family education and never reveals any news about the court at home. I can only try to see if I can meet my uncle, but I can't guarantee whether my uncle knows the inside story." Song Jingming Tell Song Jinyu the rhetoric used to deal with Shangguan.

Song Jinyu nodded in satisfaction.

Song Peiyu, who had already sat down to drink tea, laughed. He waved his hands and said, "Don't ask me, King Xiang runs to Qinzheng Hall every day. Lu Jihe and I haven't seen King Xiang for several days."

"Just wait, this matter won't be done for a while." Song Jinyu generously explained to his younger brother and son, and he looked at Song Peiyu with a half-smile, "Your Majesty told King Xiang that apart from the Western Regions trade route from Chu State, , but also to borrow the Chu State’s seaport.”

After so many days, there was finally some news that would make him feel at ease. Song Peiyu smiled generously, "Does King Xiang disagree?"

If Chu State paid enough attention to the sea, King Xiang could not make decisions without authorization, and Song Peiyu could understand.

There is no rush to go to sea, his fleet has not yet been seen, and it will take a year and a half to prepare.

Song Jinyu shook his head, "King Xiang immediately agreed to share Jingzhou's access to the sea with Zhao State, but he still insisted on marriage. Only after the two countries get married, will the Western Regions trade routes and Jingzhou's access to the sea be provided to Zhao State."

"What's so difficult about this?" Song Jingming said without hesitation, "Isn't Princess Lingyun already in Xianyang? As Princess Lingyun, even if she is only a side concubine, she can get started before the main concubine. Half a year is enough for the Princess Lingyun married His Highness the Crown Prince in a splendid manner."

"In this case, the team going to the Western Regions can start in the second half of the year."

Song Peiyu put his hand on his chin, and looked coldly at Song Jingming who wished Princess Lingyun and Chong Yi could get married immediately.

While Song Jingming was talking, he suddenly felt chills down his back, and immediately turned his head, his eyes fixed on Song Peiyu with precision, and met his creepy gaze. He couldn't help picking up the hot tea on the table to suppress his shock, and carefully looked at Song Peiyu, " Uncle, did I say something wrong?"

"Wrong." Song Peiyu kindly told Song Jingming the latest news, "The prince will not marry Princess Lingyun, and Princess Lingyun is going back to Chu."

"How is it possible?" Song Jingming asked subconsciously.

"It's exactly as Li Nu said." Song Jinyu affirmed Song Peiyu's words in time, "Prince Xiang wants to hire the eldest princess back to Chu to marry the emperor's grandson of the right age."

"How is it possible?" The person who was shocked turned into Song Peiyu.

Song Jinyu looked at Song Jingming and Song Peiyu, who had almost the same expressions, and his mood suddenly improved a lot, and his tone also brought a smile, "Of course it is impossible, so the negotiation with Chu State is temporarily suspended, unless Chu State makes concessions, or His Majesty can think about it." Find other ways to reassure Chu State, otherwise, in a short period of time, the commercial routes of the Western Regions and the Jingzhou estuary..." can't be counted on.

Disappointed, Song Peiyu and Song Jingming both calmed down and accompanied Song Jinyu to dinner.

Song Jinyu's mood was not affected, but looking at the frustrated expressions of the two, she ate half a bowl of rice.

Song Peiyu still needed to deal with the small orders of the East Palace, so she left after dinner, but Song Jingming stayed behind.

Holding the teacup, Song Jingming asked unwillingly, "Why didn't Princess Lingyun marry His Highness?"

King Xiang brought Princess Lingyun to Zhao country all the way, isn't it just for marriage?

Song Jinyu finished reading the documents that Song Peiyu had interrupted, and then looked at Song Jingming, "Your uncle was here just now, why didn't you ask your uncle?"

Song Jingming sneered, he didn't have the nerve to say that his uncle seemed to be eating people, so he didn't dare to ask.

Song Jinyu told Song Jingming, "In a few years, His Highness will not marry a wife or take a concubine."

"Why?" Song Jingming was taken aback.

The prince is already twenty, and the children of ordinary families are running everywhere. The royal family doesn't even have a grandson, so why is the prince's marriage delayed?

Song Jinyu looked at Song Jingming with cool eyes.

Song Jingming understood, but neither did his father.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Song Jinyu looked at Song Jingming with disgust.

Song Jingming coughed lightly, walked behind Song Jinyu cheekily, pressed Song Jinyu's shoulders, and whispered, "What about my uncle's marriage? Yu Niang said her natal family..."

After listening to the beginning, Song Jinyu knew what Song Jingming meant.

He interrupted Song Jingming, "Don't think about it, my uncle won't marry a wife and take concubines these few years."

Song Jingming's hands went numb, and suddenly he didn't
