Chapter Eighty-Eight
Song Nanzhou returned to Wuxiang Camp and saw Lin San and Tang Shaozong's concerned and worried looks.
The two of them didn't sleep all night, Lin San didn't know anything about the situation, and Tang Shaozong guessed something. Seeing Song Nanzhou coming back with a haggard face, he hurriedly stepped forward.
"What's going on?" Lin San asked.
"Did something happen to the little fairy?" Tang Shaozong asked.
Lin San immediately stared at Tang Shaozong: "Who is the little fairy?" β
Tang Shaozong didn't answer, only stared at Song Nanzhou.
Song Nanzhou raised his eyes, his gaze swept over them, "You come in, I have something to tell you." β
He carefully closed the doors and windows, and ordered his soldiers to stay outside.
Such a solemn matter made Lin San and Tang Shaozong very uneasy.
"Now that something has happened, I'm going to leave Kyoto for a while," Song Nanzhou looked at Lin San: "The affairs of the Wuxiang camp will be handed over to you." β
"Wait!" Lin Sanwei shouted: "Why do you want to leave Kyoto?" I didn't hear that His Majesty was going to send you out! β
Song Nanzhou didn't explain too much: "Your Majesty may be furious, and then send other people to the Wuxiang camp." You have been in the Wuxiang camp for a long time, even if you have a new command history, you have to find a way to empty him and prevent the Wuxiang camp from falling into the hands of others. β
Lin San frowned more and more: "Song Da, what happened?" You name it, let's figure it out together! β
Song Nanzhou tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled at him: "But the most likely person to take over the Wuxiang camp is General Mu Shizhong Mu." He has a much better opinion of you now, and if it were him, he would have been able to have a good relationship with him. Also, I will leave all the manpower left to me by the prince for you to send......"
"Song Nanzhou! What the hell is going on with you? Lin San couldn't help but interrupt him, "Inexplicably, what are you going to do with this kind of tone like explaining the aftermath?" When the prince handed over those people to you, it was the prince who trusted you! If you say that you want to leave now, you will leave behind all the things that the prince handed over to you, which is equivalent to his net worth? β
Song Nanzhou was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Where the prince is, I will go to the letter to ask for guilt." Here in Kyoto, I'll leave it to you and Tang Si. β
Tang Shaozong, who had been silent, heard Song Nanzhou call his name, and then said, "I won't stay, I'll go with you." β
If something really happened to the little fairy, he would have to follow to help.
Song Nanzhou looked at him: "You will only become a burden to me, and you will not help me in any way." β
This merciless refusal made Tang Shaozong's face change, but it was true that he couldn't help Song Nanzhou at all if he followed Song Nanzhou. He took a deep breath and stopped talking.
Lin San refused to stop there: "You tell me clearly, what happened?" β
"I'm going to do something, and no one can stop me!" Song Nanzhou's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was also light: "Only if you don't know anything, Your Majesty will not bother you if you ask." β
After he finished speaking, he stood up: "I'm leaving." β
Lin Sanyi grabbed him, as if he was angry, and lowered his voice and said: "You just shook your hands and left, in case the prince loses because of this, can you be worthy of the prince's trust and hard work in you?" What are you...... This is infidelity! β
Song Nanzhou took his hand away, "I have failed the prince, I can't be a loyal minister and a good general, I still hope you, don't disappoint him again." β
The dilemma of loyalty.
He did not hesitate to abandon Tada.
It may teach people to be disappointed and angry, or it may be accused of not being able to raise its head for the rest of its life, or it may be stinking for thousands of years!
So what?
In this life, he is not willing to let go no matter what, and he will miss her for a few more lives!
Even the encounter in this life was a fluke, and he couldn't afford to lose this chance to get it! If he recovers her, King Gong is still willing to give him a chance, he will definitely do his best to help him succeed, if he is unwilling to accept his approach and refuses to see him again, then it doesn't matter, he takes her, the river goes north and south, and then he never returns to Kyoto.
β¦β¦
Song Nanzhou came out of the Wuxiang camp and saw Xu Shen standing at the gate of the camp waiting for him.
Seeing him come out, he hurriedly took a few steps closer: "Yesterday, I scattered all the people in the house who could be scattered, and ordered them to search carefully, but until this time, there is still nothing." Maybe you're right, people aren't in the city anymore. β
Song Nanzhou nodded: "That person has coveted her for a long time, and if she gets her hands, she will never stay in Kyoto again." I'll go out of the city immediately to chase after me, but I can't say for sure, Kyori, please keep an eye on it. β
Xu Shen didn't make a false deal with him, nodded and said, "Since the prince already has a suspicion, it's easy to do." You can rest assured that I won't give up looking. If the prince gets the news, he hopes to inform me, so that I can rest assured. β
He sighed: "Speaking of which, it is also because of my relationship that she will suffer this unjustified disaster." Everything, please leave it to the prince. β
β¦β¦
Prince Makoto's Mansion.
Qiao Shi sat in the chair, his face full of sadness and tears, and he was silently weeping in front of Prince Cheng at this time.
"Come to think of it, it must be that Huanting did something wrong that Azhou would let people put her in the ancestral hall. It's just that she is the girl's house, the ancestral hall is cold and damp, and after being closed all night, I don't know what happened to her now? β
Song Nianbei was also anxious and uncomfortable: "Sister, she hasn't eaten water and rice for several times, and those people are guarding the ancestral hall, and I am not even allowed to go in to take a look." If it goes on like this, even the iron body can't stand it. Father, if it is really my sister who has done something wrong, my brother can beat or scold him, so why lock people up like this? β
Prince Cheng's face was full of gloom, he was not only his father, but also the master of Prince Cheng's mansion! But even if he wanted to go and see Song Huanting who was locked up, how could he not make him angry?
Especially in front of his wife and youngest son, Prince Cheng felt even more disgraced, and gasped: "Where did that bastard go?" β
"Looking for me?" Song Nanzhou, who appeared at the door at some point, asked coldly.
Prince Cheng's face changed, and he felt a little lacking in confidence in Song Nanzhou's cold face. But being watched by his wife and youngest son together, he could only ask hard at this time: "Let me ask you, what mistake did your sister make, you have to lock her up in the ancestral hall, and you are not even allowed to send a meal!" β
"What she did, you'll ask her yourselves later. I'm coming back today, and I'm just going to say one thingβ" He looked around the room and said lightly, "I have something to leave Kyoto, and I won't be able to come back for some days." From now on, take care of yourselves. β
When he said this, his eyes were on Prince Makoto.
Prince Cheng was shocked by his eyes, and he heard an ominous premonition from his tone: "Where are you going?" What to do? When will you be back? β
Song Nianbei was slightly stunned, and then couldn't hide his surprise and looked at Qiao's.
Qiao's family also felt that something was wrong, especially Prince Cheng's nervous reaction - it was not like he was reluctant to let Song Nanzhou go out, nor like he was questioning, but he was a little uneasy and wanted to hold on to Song Nanzhou's feelings.
Song Nanzhou was too lazy to hide it, especially when he caught a glimpse of the joy in Song Nianbei's eyes, "I did something wrong to annoy Uncle Huang, and he doesn't want to see me right now, that's it." β
After speaking, he raised his feet and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall.
Prince Cheng's face turned pale, and his hands were trembling, "You! Stop! You son of a, what have you done to annoy Your Majesty? You will enter the palace for me now, I don't care if you beg for mercy or intercede, I must ask Your Majesty to forgive you! Otherwise, otherwise ......"
Song Nanzhou suddenly stopped, turned his face to look at him, and a sneering smile rose on his lips: "Otherwise, you will never come back, right?" β
Without waiting for Prince Cheng to get angry, he added lightly: "At the beginning, you said the same thing to her." β
Prince Cheng was dumbfounded, and even his lips trembled.
He got it? He got it!
Prince Cheng's face was blue and red for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
Song Nanzhou didn't say much, "Father, take care." β
After he finished speaking, he didn't linger any longer.
Prince Cheng looked at his figure that was gradually moving away, and it seemed that he saw that Da Qiao's family had left without hesitation back then.
His whole body seemed to be out of strength, and he leaned back in his chair, unable to speak for a long time.
Qiao suddenly realized that something was wrong, from Song Nanzhou coming in, to when he left, he didn't look at her more, didn't talk to her, and in the end, he only asked his father to take care!
It's never been done before, and what's wrong?
"Lord Wang?"
Prince Cheng didn't hear it, and only muttered with a white face: "He knows, he already knows...... It's over, Prince Cheng's Mansion...... Finished. β
Prince Cheng's Mansion was originally not liquidated by Emperor Jing because of him, but now that he is leaving, he has offended Emperor Jing again, and he is only afraid of it in the future...... It's really going to fall.
It's ridiculous that his youngest son is still complacent, and he really thinks that when Song Nanzhou leaves, the position of the prince of Cheng Prince's Mansion will fall on his head?
"Your Majesty would rather take back the title than give it to you Prince Cheng's Mansion, die, Abei, it's not yours, it's useless to worry." This is the first time that Prince Makoto has told his youngest son the truth that is very cruel to him.
After he finished speaking, he got up and staggered out.
"Lord Wang!" Qiao Shi hurriedly got up and shouted.
"Father!" Song Nianbei also shouted with a white face.
Prince Cheng seemed to be a teenager all of a sudden, his waist was stiffened, and he flicked his sleeves without looking back: "Send Huanting to Luzhou as soon as possible, and ask your mother-in-law to do a family affair for her." Now that Xu Xiang has been offended to death, he can't get used to her anymore. β
"Lord Wang, you wait for the concubine!" Qiao Shi reversed his previous delicateness, and hurriedly chased after him, "We don't know what happened, the most important thing at the moment is to hurry into the palace, whether it is to excuse Azhou, or to distinguish for us, whether we are relatives of the emperor and the country, even for this reason, Your Majesty will definitely not blame you......"
"What do you know? You don't know anything. Prince Cheng pushed her away, and he didn't know what he thought, and suddenly laughed: "Haven't you always wanted to know how your sister died?" She went to the battlefield alone to save Emperor Jing, but was seriously injured and died! In the year of Emperor Jing's personal expedition, how many families were liquidated and bloodbathed? What do you think Prince Cheng's Mansion can escape? It's not the identity of a relative of the emperor! What are the royal relatives, and is the Queen Mother a real royal family? What happened to her now? You haven't heard yet, have you? The Queen Mother is already paralyzed! That's what happened to her! β
"In the past, those who made ghosts behind Emperor Jing's back, how many people were still jumping? If you really want to think about it, Prince Cheng's Mansion is long gone! can survive until now, there is no shortage of glory and wealth, relying on your dead sister and his own son! That's the face that Emperor Jing gave to his mother and son, not for me, Prince Cheng, do you know! β
"Do you think Emperor Jing doesn't know the thoughts of your mother and son? Why don't you Dao Emperor Jing treat you mother and son to see you, it's not your thing, you want to think about it. If it weren't for your kindness to Azhou, you would think that Emperor Jing would be able to tolerate you! β
Qiao Shi was stunned, completely silent.
Every word that Prince Cheng said was recalled in her ears, and she listened to it, but she was even more at a loss.
So she is crooked, so she has such a good life? Her honor and disgrace are not tied to her husband, but to ...... Song Nanzhou's body?
"Got it? If I were you, I would hurry up and persuade that son of a to ask Emperor Jing for forgiveness. Prince Cheng smiled: "For his mother's sake, Emperor Jing will definitely forgive him in the end as long as he does not do treason with the enemy...... If you don't go yet, what are you doing here? β
β¦β¦
Song Huanting hugged her arms and shrunk in the corner, she had been locked up here for a day and a night, this day and night, she cried and made trouble, and in the end she begged, but it was useless.
There was nothing to eat, nothing to drink, and even her father and mother did not come to see her.
She was really scared at this time, but no matter how much she begged for mercy, she couldn't hear the slightest movement outside.
It's like no one.
This feeling of being abandoned by the whole world almost drove her crazy.
At this moment, the door of the ancestral hall was pushed open, and a tall figure slowly walked in.
Song Huanting quickly raised her eyes and opened her eyes hard to see who was coming.
"Big brother! Eldest brother! I was wrong, I was wrong, you let me out, I beg you, I won't dare again, you let me out! She flew over, her face was not dignified, she knelt in front of Song Nanzhou and hugged his legs and cried and begged: "I don't want to stay here anymore, please big brother, let me go......"
She used to think that he had disgraced her face, and she could never have imagined that there would be such a day of begging him.
But when he brought her back from Xu Shen's hands and told her that if he couldn't find that woman, he would make her worse than dead, she was really afraid of this eldest brother who was called "Living Hades" to the outside world for the first time.
"Did you remember, who is the person who delivered you the message?" Song Nanzhou lowered his head and looked at her indifferently.
Song Huanting dared to be stiff-mouthed at this time, and nodded busily: "I remembered, I remembered, it was a ......"
"Draw it." Song Nanzhou interrupted her and gave an order outside, and soon someone brought paper and pen in.
Song Huanting wiped a handful of tears, painted the portrait tremblingly, and said timidly: "Big brother, this is the person." β
Song Nanzhou took it and looked at it, frowning slightly, the person on the portrait was not the deep-eyed and high-nosed person from the Western Regions that Wen Xiang had said, nor was it the ordinary-looking person who had been painted and planned to take Wen Xiang out of the city. This person's appearance is not outstanding, and he is also a person who will not let people look at it when he is thrown in the crowd, and it is not easy to find someone.
Fortunately, without the manpower given by King Gong, he still has people from Jiuli Mountain to use.
Song Nanzhou made up his mind, turned around and left.
Song Huanting hurriedly got up from the ground, "Big brother, I'm ...... Can I go out? β
"Whatever."
When Song Huanting heard this, she burst into tears of excitement, and she didn't stop any longer, and hurriedly walked out of the ancestral hall.
saw her mother hurrying over, and her grievances suddenly overflowed: "Ah Niang......"
Qiao Shi looked left and right and asked her urgently, "Where is your eldest brother?" β
Song Huanting was stunned, didn't her mother come for her? "Big brother, he just left......"
"Where did he go? Say it quickly! β
A little maid next to her said tremblingly: "Princess, the prince seems to have gone out of the house." β
Qiao's body shook, and Song Huanting and the maid hurriedly supported her.
She didn't seem to hear everyone's anxious voices in her ears, her face turned pale, and she muttered like Prince Cheng: "It's over, it's really over......
β¦β¦
Although Prince Cheng knew that even if he went to the palace to ask for sin, it would be useless, but the attitude of asking for guilt could not be without.
"Your Majesty, Prince Cheng asked to see him outside, saying that he had come to ask for sin. I've been on my knees for a while. When Gonggong Zhang saw Emperor Jing put down the pen, he stepped forward and carefully mentioned it while cleaning up the folds on the table.
Emperor Jing paused when he was rubbing the corners of his forehead: "Please? What kind of sin did he come to ask for? β
After saying this, he sneered: "He is too late to ask for this sin, I thought that he had already forgotten what he had done to me." Preach it, I want to hear what he has to say. β
Prince Cheng quickly entered the inner hall, knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "The younger brother is guilty." Although I don't know what happened to him and made you angry, it must be his fault. The younger brother came to confess the guilt, and hoped that His Majesty would open the net. β
Emperor Jing was a little puzzled, and raised his eyes to look at Gonggong Zhang: "What did the rabbit cub do?" β
Father-in-law Zhang hurriedly bowed down and replied: "The slave doesn't know, or else, send someone to ask?" β
Prince Cheng was stunned for a moment, and listening to Emperor Jing's tone, he didn't seem to blame Song Nanzhou?
What Song Nanzhou said in the mansion just now......
There's no way he could have said those things for no reason.
Emperor Jing was about to ask Prince Cheng, and someone outside asked to see him, and Gonggong Zhang hurriedly walked out.
After a while, Gonggong Zhang walked in with a panicked expression, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground like Prince Cheng: "Your Majesty, someone from the Wuxiang camp has come to report, and the prince is ...... He left the Wuxiang camp and left Beijing. β
The relaxed smile on Emperor Jing's lips suddenly froze: "What did you say?" β
Without waiting for Gonggong Zhang to say more, Emperor Jing got up suddenly, swept his horizontal arm, and swept the paper, pen and ink inkstone on the desk: "It's the opposite!" It's against him! For the sake of a woman, he really ...... I'm so angry! Come on, why don't you go and get him back for me! β
Gonggong Zhang climbed out and arranged for someone to recover Song Nanzhou, leaving Prince Cheng to bear the wrath of Emperor Jing in the palace.
"How did you become a father? Yes! How do you raise children! What a child, what you have been taught! A piece of music slammed into Prince Makoto, he fell to the ground, and did not dare to hide, "You should die!" β
Prince Cheng was aggrieved and scared in his heart, who taught Song Nanzhou to be like that? Over the years, when did he dare to meddle in Song Nanzhou's education? Obviously, it is all used to Emperor Jing himself, but at this time, it is all up to him.
But these grievances, does he dare to say?
"Yes, yes, my brother should die, my brother can't do anything, I don't want to worry about Your Majesty, and I will make trouble for you, it's all my brother's fault, my brother should die......"
Is he really, even more wronged than Dou E?
Emperor Jing still wanted to scold, and Gonggong Fu, who had arranged for someone to chase Song Nanzhou, came in with a white face again, "Your Majesty, that Doctor Zheng asks to see you." β
Although it was out of place, Gonggong Zhang couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of that Doctor Zheng.
The man who claims to be a miracle doctor, this is really the first time he has seen it.
Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment, obviously remembering who this Divine Doctor Zheng was, and took a deep breath before saying, "But what happened to Concubine Yi?" β
"The slave and maid looked at Doctor Zheng's expression, not like the mother had something to do."
"Then he came over at this time, what is the matter?" Emperor Jing asked, and then waved his hand: "That's it, let him come in and talk." β
Zheng Qingshan swaggered in, as if he didn't see Prince Cheng kneeling on the ground in a cold sweat, and he didn't kneel down to Emperor Jing, but just bowed to the end: "The grass people have asked Your Majesty for peace." β
He asked again, "Did the grass people disturb Your Majesty?" Your Majesty is full of opportunities, worried about the country and the people, and the grass people really admire and admire. The grass people are walking outside, and those ordinary people are all benevolent and loving, so that the people can live a life of abundant food and clothing. They all prayed for His Majesty to live a long life, so that they could live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives. β
No emperor would not like to hear such a compliment.
Emperor Jing's face really softened a lot: "Sir, you don't have to be polite. I am determined to be a wise man, so that all the people under my rule can have food, clothing, housing, and farming. So far, it has only begun to bear fruit, and I still have a lot to do. β
This is also his modest statement, Zheng Qingshan naturally complimented for a long time, and then explained the meaning: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi's body is fine, she only needs to stay in bed and recuperate for a while." Princess Qing was taught by the grass people, and with her taking care of Concubine Yi, Your Majesty can rest assured. β
Emperor Jing nodded, "Mr. has made a great contribution this time, and I will definitely reward him generously......"
"The grass people are brave, they don't dare to ask for His Majesty's reward, and beg His Majesty to let the grass people out of the palace, the grass people have 100,000 urgent things to do." He interrupted Emperor Jing with a burning eyebrow.
Emperor Jing has been an emperor for so many years, except for some grievances under the Queen Mother in the early years, no one has dared to interrupt his words over the years, and he was a little unhappy for a while, but seeing that he was really anxious, he asked: "What is the matter with Mr?" I might be able to help you. β
Zheng Qingshan looked overjoyed: "Your Majesty is willing to help the grass people, that's really good - the grass people's sister-in-law was separated from the grass people in the early years, and finally the grass people found out that she came to Kyoto, and looked for her all the way, who knows, just after they met, the prince told the grass people that her sister was captured by the gangsters." Treat me in such a hurry, scratching my heart and lungs...... The prince advised me not to be in a hurry, saying that he would go out of Beijing to find someone, but how could I not be in a hurry? That's my sister-in-law. If something happens to her, where will I have the face to see my father and mother underground! β
Emperor Jing was already stunned: "Wait, your sister? β
The woman who hooked Song Nanzhou abandoned him and abandoned Wuxiang Camp turned out to be the sister of Doctor Zheng?
