I am an ancestor in an enemy country

The majestic imperial palace, from the time Song Shiwen could remember, felt that it was an unreachable place, a place of indifference.

When he was very young, he still looked forward to living in a luxurious palace like other princes, but the eunuchs around him laughed at his wishful thinking, saying that he was just a bastard that no one wanted.

Later, he quietly went to the palace and tiptoed to look in, and met a very beautifully dressed prince. The prince saw the extremely contemptuous look in his eyes and said he was a beggar.

He didn't refute. At that time, the clothes he wore were all hand-sewn by Madam Su with the cloth she bought with savings.

At that time, he finally understood that the imperial palace had nothing to do with him, and he didn't belong there.

Just when he was about to leave this place, Nanyue King summoned him back.

If he didn't want to know more about his mother, Song Shi asked him if he would come back to see King Nanyue again. He and King Nanyue had no father-son relationship, but only a little relationship between monarch and minister.

It is ironic to say that although Song Shiwen is the prince of Nanyue Kingdom, the number of times he entered the palace can be counted on two fingers.

This is the second time he has entered the palace to meet King Nanyue.

The first time he was alone, the people in the hall looked at him gloatingly, and the Nanyue King wanted to push him to death.

It's a pity that he didn't fulfill his wish, and probably he didn't fulfill the wishes of many people. He lived a good life in Liang Guo, and those people might be mad to death.

Entering the palace this time, he had Xiao Chengyu and Shi Yuchen by his side.

The two followed him every step of the way.

At that time, he felt that the imperial palace was majestic and tall. Standing in front of the city wall, he felt that he was very small. Now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

The three of them entered the gate of the palace, and the eunuch who passed on led them to King Nanyue's bedroom.

Before entering, I could already smell the bitter smell of medicinal herbs at the door.

Song Shiwen took a deep breath at the door, Xiao Chengyu shook his hand, looked at him tenderly, Song Shiwen shook his hand back, and walked in.

The king of Nanyue was half lying on the bed, and a father-in-law fed the medicine. The soup in the bowl was dark and thick, and it looked very bitter, but the king of Nanyue swallowed it all without frowning, as if he was in a hurry .

I still remember that when I met King Nanyue a year ago, he was still in good spirits, with a ruddy complexion and full of energy.

When I saw him today, I found that his hair was gray, his face was pale, and even his cough sounded weak, all of which indicated that the owner of the body was already very empty.

Song Shiwen felt that King Nanyue was much older.

Song Shiwen didn't salute, but simply said "Your Majesty" and stood there.

Because if he saluted, then Xiao Chengyu and Shi Yuchen who turned into entourages and followed him would also salute.

In order not to reveal their identities, he chose to stand instead of kneeling when he saw King Nanyue.

Fortunately, the current Nanyue King no longer has any more energy to focus on these small things. He just stared at Song Shi closely and asked, "Eleventh, you are back."

The voice has also become much older, completely like a lonely and helpless old man.

When Song Shiwen saw King Nanyue, he remembered that it was too difficult for him to work in the palace.

He was unmoved, "I don't know why His Majesty summoned his ministers back?"

"Eleven, you have grown up and grown taller."

"If Your Majesty summoned the minister back to talk about this matter, then now that His Majesty has seen it, the minister will retreat first."

When Song Shiwen saw such an old and lonely Nanyue King, he felt an inexplicable anger in his heart. If Nanyue King was still as lively as before, then he would definitely not have any fluctuations, but seeing him like this, he Not happy at all.

What does it mean that he has grown up and grown taller? Has King Nanyue seen him grow up!

King Nanyue coughed, and finally stopped, "Eleventh, wait a moment", and then drove out all the eunuchs in the palace.

Li Man looked at Song Shiwen hesitantly and said, "Your Majesty..."

Everyone knows that His Majesty has neglected this prince, and this prince has no father-son affection for His Majesty, and now they have to get along alone, accompanied by two attendants with sharp eyes, fearing that this prince will harm His Majesty .

King Nanyue waved his hand, "It's okay, all go down!"

It is an indisputable voice.

This was also the first time that Song Jiaze looked at Song Shiwen up close.

It's really like his mother.

Especially the eyes, they are so beautiful.

It's just that when such beautiful eyes looked at him, they were cold and indifferent, without any emotion, as if they were looking at an irrelevant person.

Song Jiaze felt uncomfortable for a while.

Song Shi asked: "That father-in-law is right to worry, isn't Your Majesty afraid that I will kill you?"

Song Jiaze lowered his head and smiled, "You won't, Eleven, can you make the two people around you step down too? I have something to tell you."

Song Shi asked, "Your Majesty, they are the closest and most trusted people in this world."

Song Jiaze just went to look at those two people, and always felt that they were very familiar, but now is not the time to recall things, his time is very tight.

"Eleventh," Song Jiaze murmured, "I know that I've been the one who has let you down all these years. I don't have much time left. I called you back to pass on this position to you. I have already passed... .”

"The right minister is here!" The eunuch outside sang and shouted.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Chengling entered the bedroom.

Song Jiaze hadn't had time to finish speaking.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty, I have seen the eleventh prince." Saluted extremely perfunctorily.

Song Jiaze couldn't see any expression on his face, "I don't know if there is something for the right minister to see me now."

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Eleventh Prince entered the palace, and thought that His Majesty would be very excited to see the Eleventh Prince. I was worried about His Majesty's safety, so I came to have a look. Your Majesty must take care of yourself." Wang Chengling said lightly.

Song Jiaze's face changed. He had just seen Song Shiwen when the Prime Minister came over.

Song Shiwen looked at Wang Chengling.

This person who actually controls the government of Nanyue Kingdom is the elder brother of Queen Yun.

He looked at him with eyes full of scrutiny and hostility.

"I don't know how the Eleventh Prince is doing well in the Liang Kingdom? The Eleventh Prince understands the righteousness and volunteered to go to the capital for Nanyue Kingdom." Wang Chengling said, "However, I heard that the Eleventh Prince is deeply loved by King Liang in the capital. The prince is very capable."

The words are full of irony.

Song Shi asked, "The right prime minister is too much."

Wang Chengling asked Song Shiwen a lot of questions in the bedroom, as if he cared about Song Shiwen very much.

After a long time, Wang Chengling finally said: "Your Majesty is not feeling well, it's time to rest, I send the Eleventh Prince out of the palace."

Every sentence is for His Majesty's sake.

Song Jiaze could only watch helplessly as Song Shiwen left the palace.

......

It was still early for them to come out of the palace.

This time when I went to the palace to meet King Nanyue, I was inexplicable. It seemed that King Nanyue wanted to pass on the throne to him, but King Nanyue seemed to be very concerned about Wang Chengling.

He even wanted to avoid him, it could be said that he didn't even want Wang Chengling to know about the conversation between him and Song Shiwen.

It seems that the two have long since separated.

Could it be that King Nanyue wanted to use him to deal with Wang Chengling?

I can't figure it out, and I don't want to think about it.

It was still early, so Song Shiwen wanted to go and see Mother Su.

This is what he thought about early in the morning.

Song Shiwen wanted Xiao Chengyu and Cheng Lu to go back to the post house first, and he and Su Fan went to see Madam Su.

But these two people must follow. Xiao Chengyu really wanted to see this person who was kind to children in Nanyue Kingdom. If it wasn't for her, Song Shiwen wouldn't be able to live in peace until now. Asked to suffer a lot less because of her existence.

He wanted to thank this Nanny Su in person.

And he felt that the child was in a bad mood when he saw Queen Nanyue, but he didn't show it, so he would not leave the child even half a step.

So the group of four went to a house in the city.

Although I have always received letters from Song Shiwen saying that it is very good, and I have heard others say that the little prince is doing well in the capital, but Madam Su is still worried.

Su Momo heard the news of the little prince's return early in the morning, she was waiting and looking forward at home, hoping to see the little prince again.

Now that she really saw the little prince, she really believed that the little prince had a very good life in Liang Guo.

He has grown a lot taller and fleshier, and he has become much firmer, and his face is not as pale as before.

Even Su Fan was no longer as thin as before.

Reunited after a long absence, Madam Su wiped her tears, and talked with Song Shiwen for a long time.

Song Shiwen sat next to Madam Su just like when he was a child, answering her questions gently.

It wasn't until the evening that several people left Su's residence. Before leaving, Madam Su finally mustered up her courage and said, "Little Prince, Your Majesty has some difficulties."

When we returned to the post house, it was already dark, and a beggar was begging at the gate of the post house. Song Shi asked him how pitiful he was, and gave him a piece of silver.

I think he also worried about making a living at the beginning.

After dinner, Song Shiwen remembered the last words Su Momo said, and frowned.

Madam Su was the one who was always by his side.

But she didn't know about his mother, so it seemed better to ask King Nanyue herself.

But what was the purpose of King Nanyue calling him back?

Xiao Chengyu knew that the kid was struggling again.

Xiao Chengyu: "Ask, what do you think your father means today?"

Song Shiwen shook his head, "I don't know."

"Judging from today's situation, King Nanyue and Prime Minister Right are at odds. This may be the reason why he recalled you to Nanyue Kingdom. Perhaps what he said today is true."

Song Shi asked: "I don't care about other things, I just want to know about my mother."

Xiao Chengyu: "The spies sent out came back and reported that the guards in the entire capital are now under the control of the Right Prime Minister, and the palace is also under his control."

Song Shiwen didn't say a word, and indeed he could see it.

Wang Chengling was afraid that they would be alone together.

Xiao Chengyu comforted him, "It's okay, let's sneak into the palace again when we find a chance."

......

In the palace, Queen Yun led someone into the bedroom, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by summoning that bitch? Didn't Your Majesty promise not to see him again? It was him, he must have killed my Chier!"

When Queen Yun saw a prince, she suspected that he had killed his son, almost hysterical.

Facing such a domineering queen for many years, King Nanyue no longer had the intention of coaxing others.

Song Jiaze was tired and said impatiently: "I'm tired, the queen should step back!"

After Queen Yun left, Song Jiaze called Li Man, "You have been by my side for many years. Since I was a few years old, you have always been by my side. No one is closer to me than you."

Li Man looked at the white-haired Song Jiaze, and felt sore, "Yes, Your Majesty, this slave has served His Majesty all his life, and I will continue to serve you in the next life."

Song Jiaze smiled, "Old Li, you are the only person around me who I can trust now, and you are the only one who will not betray me. I have one thing I want you to help me with."

Li Man: "Your Majesty orders."
