Chapter 298: The Plague in Shu
It turned out that Haruka hadn't left, hiding in the window and eavesdropping.
Song Yi already knew, but he just pretended not to know. After Jiang Geng left, she called Chunxiang out.
Haruka's eyes were red from crying. Song Yi was also a little unbearable, but as Jiang Geng said, long pain is better than short pain. It's best to let Haruka die early.
"Don't cry either. I'll find a better person for you," Song Yi promised.
"Thank you, princess," Haruka promised, but was still sad in her heart.
Watching Chunxiang leave in despair, Song Yi felt that love was really not a good thing.
While the next person was packing their luggage, Song Yi took the two children to think about other things.
Someone from the palace wanted the real king to return to Beijing, although Song Yi didn't know who came, but his guess must be extraordinary. Otherwise, the true king would not be in such a hurry, and he would have to leave early the next morning.
Playing in Jiangnan all the way, Song Yi already felt that he had stolen half a year's leisure time. Knowing that he couldn't be so willful all the time, sooner or later he would have to return to the capital.
But knowing that it was one thing, he really wanted to go back, and Song Yi was still a little apprehensive.
It's not that I'm afraid of facing that group of hypocrites, but because I can't enjoy the happiness of simply raising a daughter anymore.
Song Yi's unhappiness was contagious to the two children, and Zhu Youde and Zhu Youci had already discovered their mother's sullenness.
Zhu Youde asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" We're going home, aren't you happy? ”
Song Yi looked at his son with a confused face, and didn't know how to tell him about the situation in the capital.
After all, Zhu Youde has lived in a very simple mountain village since he was a child, and the people he comes into contact with are only those villagers in Silver Wing Village.
"No, my mother is just a little reluctant to go back like this" Song Yi decided not to tell her son those dark things, let him keep some expectations for home.
"Woo" Zhu Youci can't ask questions like Zhu Youde, so he can only lean on Song Yi and comfort Song Yi in his own way.
Song Yi looked at Zhu Youci who was buried in Song Yi's chest, knowing that she was comforting herself not to be upset, she smiled and said, "Youci is good, you have to work hard to learn to eat and sleep like us, our family Youci is so smart, she will definitely be able to read and read in the future, and she can also become a talented woman."
"Mother, I also want to read and read, and I will be like my father in the future"
"Like your father?"
"Like him, you will be a man who stands up to the sky," Zhu Youde said loudly.
"Hmm. We Youde is also a smart, filial child, and I believe that you will be a man who stands up to the sky in the future. However, you remember that you promised your mother that you would take good care of your sister no matter what the future holds, didn't you? ”
"Mother, don't worry. Sister, with my protection in the future, I won't let people bully her."
"Okay, I believe Youde" Song Yi didn't know that the promise of a five-year-old child tonight would become the goal of his life.
Zhu Xi had been secretly listening to the conversation between the mother and son in the house, and he was very moved.
It turns out that my son has always taken himself as an example, and he is worthy of my Zhu Xi's son. Zhu Xi nodded.
Just when Zhu Xi was thinking nonsense, Chunxiang happened to come over with refreshments, and when she saw the prince outside the house, seeing that he was leaving, she hurriedly shouted, "Lord, since you are here, go in." ”
When Zhu Xi heard Chunxiang speak, he couldn't leave, so he could only nod and enter the house.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhu Xi saw Zhu Youde running towards him "Father"
Facing his son who rushed forward, Zhu Xi instinctively reached out to catch it, feeling the weight in his hand, Zhu Xi couldn't help but be surprised, "Qiuqiu, what did you eat, why is it so much heavier?" ”
Looking at his son's little face, which had gradually plumped up, Zhu Xi finally confirmed that his son had become fat.
"Father, where do I have?" Zhu Youde didn't admit it when he was killed, because the water and soil in the south raised people, so he did gain a lot of weight.
"He's been eating more and more lately, and he will soon be able to surpass you," Song Yi said while hugging Zhu Youci, who never left him.
Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Youci who was glued to Song Yi's body, although he didn't say anything, his eyes already said everything.
Song Yi also knew that she was now restrained by Zhu Youci, and she couldn't do anything every day, and only when she was asleep could Song Yi act alone.
But others think Zhu Youci is a burden, but Song Yi can't complain like this. Because that's what she insists on doing.
"Lord Wang, come over now, is there anything wrong?"
"I was here to see if you guys had packed up. However, it seems that you have already packed it," Zhu Xi said as he looked at the packages that had been packed in the house.
Song Yi nodded, "In the afternoon, Jiang Geng has already come to tell me." I heard that someone from the palace came? ”
"Hmm" Zhu Xi sat on the chair with his son in his arms, and Song Yi on the side of the plate hugged Zhu Youci.
"Who's in the palace? What the hell is going on? Song Yi felt that things were not ordinary, so he asked.
"Today is Gonggong Liu, who is next to the emperor. There is a plague in Shu, and many people have died."
"What, there was a plague? Is it serious? What is the emperor telling you to do when you go back? No, let you go to Shuzhong, right? When Song Yi heard this, he was very anxious, ancient times were not as developed as modern medical skills, if he was really infected with the plague, he could only die for a lifetime.
Zhu Xi saw that Song Yi cared about himself so much, and his dissatisfaction these days had faded slightly, and the expression on his face was much better, "The emperor doesn't care anymore." The government is now controlled by three princes, and the battle between the crown prince and the second prince has become white-hot. They all felt that I was not their person, so they kept trying to get rid of me. But all these years, I have not been in the capital, and they have no way to take me. This time, knowing that we were going back to Beijing, I found a difficult task waiting for me early."
"Why? Haven't the crown prince and the second prince always wanted to win you over? How could they arrange for you to go to Shuzhong to deal with the plague? Song Yi asked seriously.
Zhu Xi thought about it, these things still have to be understood by Song Yi as soon as possible, and he is not ready to hide them, and he is about to tell Song Yi about them.
But Zhu Youci had an impatient expression on his face and shouted loudly.
Song Yi saw that Zhu Xi's face was not good, and he couldn't help but coax Zhu Youci, so he could only stand up awkwardly and coax Zhu Youci, who suddenly lost his temper.
Zhu Xi's cold expression made Zhu Youde also see his father's displeasure.
He knew that his parents had important things to say, so he quickly got off Zhu Xi, pulled Zhu Youci and said, "Sister, let's go play together"
After these days of getting along, Zhu Youci has gradually accepted Zhu Youde, and the two children are also very happy together.
Zhu Youde knew that Zhu Youci liked the game of hide and seek the most, so in order not to let her disturb her parents' conversation, he tempted to "play hide and seek"
Although Zhu Youci didn't understand what Zhu Youde said, she understood the meaning of hide and seek, and she knew that it was her favorite game.
So, Zhu Youci got off Song Yi and left with Zhu Youde.
Song Yi looked at the backs of the two children leaving, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, although Zhu Youci was taken away by his son, the real king in front of him, Song Yi, had a headache how to coax.
"Did you eat at night?"
"Hmm," Zhu Xi nodded.
"Are they Futai again?"
"Yes"
"Don't you have anything to say to me now? I'll ask you a question, and you will answer? Song Yi was also a little angry.
"No, I'm just thinking I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow. Perhaps, I will leave for Shuzhong again. It's just a little absent-minded," Zhu Xi explained.
Song Yi knew that the reason the man said was just an excuse, but he still wisely did not continue to investigate.
