Chapter 609: A Thousand Miles to Find a Husband
Song Yi pretended to be casual and returned to the Hou Mansion.
Chunxiang didn't know that the groom's official Jiang Geng had brought bad news. He is also immersed in happiness.
Song Yi didn't want the matter of the real king to disturb Chunxiang's wedding.
Song Yi forced himself not to show his true emotions.
Even Chunxiang, who has always been in charge of Song Yi's expression, did not notice Song Yi's sadness.
Finally, the wedding is over.
Song Yi returned to the True Palace. She knew that the news of the true king's disappearance would soon be able to reach back to the capital.
When the time comes, everyone will know. I'm afraid that some people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to make some moths.
Song Yi thought of this, and couldn't help but look in the direction of Qingsong Courtyard.
The true king is her husband and the father of his own children. She can't sit and wait in the house and do nothing.
After a night of careful consideration, Song Yi finally decided what to do.
First of all, there is the arrangement of two children. Fortunately, the second son Zhu Youhao has quit breastfeeding. You don't need to breastfeed anymore, just feed some rice cereal.
Zhu Youde is eight years old and an obedient child. Song Yi had no intention of hiding his father's affairs.
So, Song Yi called Zhu Youde to his side, ready to tell him the truth of the matter.
"Mother, are you looking for me?" Zhu Youde, who has been living a very comfortable life recently, only returned home from outside when he heard his mother's call.
"What have you been learning lately? Didn't make Mr. angry, did you? Song Yi asked.
"Nope. Today, Mr. praised me," Zhu Youde said as if to take credit.
Song Yi nodded and fell silent, in his heart what language should the organizer use.
"Youde, you have been obedient since you were a child"
Zhu Youde originally didn't care, but when he heard his mother start with "You have been obedient since you were a child", he felt that things were not ordinary, and the whole person became nervous.
"Mother, am I doing something wrong again?" Zhu Youde decided that no matter what he did wrong, he immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake. Because he knew that after Aunt Chunxiang got married, there was no one in the house who could help him intercede. He won't do anything to make his mother unhappy and get beaten by himself.
Song Yi looked at the nervous Zhu Youde, but he couldn't laugh, and the expression on his face was sad.
"No, you didn't do anything wrong. It's ......" Song Yi covered his face and cried.
Zhu Youde was completely dumbfounded, if he hadn't done anything wrong, who would mess with his mother?
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Who messed with you? Zhu Youde asked with concern.
In this family, everyone else is isolated from their mother and child.
"No one messes with me" Song Yi looked at his nervous son, very moved in his heart, and also felt very ashamed.
Song Yi always thought that she was a person who never panicked when she encountered problems, but she didn't expect that when she heard that the real king was missing, she was completely panicked and lost her temper.
"Qiuqiu, I have something to tell you, you come to me" Song Yi beckoned and pulled Zhu You to sit down beside him.
"Mother" Zhu Youde felt more and more that his mother's behavior today was very strange, and something must have happened.
"Qiuqiu, I know, there is no one else in the family now, you will be lonely, right?"
"How so? I still have a mother, and I have a younger brother" Zhu Youde thought that when his mother wanted to conceive his younger brother again, he was in a bad mood all day, so he pretended not to care and persuaded him.
Looking at such a beloved son, Song Yi suddenly felt that she was not a qualified mother.
Back then, he mistakenly thought that the real king had an affair with the princess of Siam, and took his unborn son away from home, so that he did not get his father's love since he was a child, and he was bullied by children. I finally recognized my ancestors and returned to Kyoto. But he encountered the Jurchen invasion, and his father was fighting outside and never saw each other all year round.
And all of this is because I was irresponsible back then, which caused a series of chain reactions later.
Song Yi regretted for the first time that it was because of her willfulness that she let the true king be punished by the emperor and went to Youzhou City to supervise the army. If the true king hadn't gone to Youzhou City, he wouldn't have disappeared.
"Mother"
Song Yi felt a pair of warm little hands caressing his face.
It turned out that the son was wiping away his tears.
"Qiuqiu, it's my mother who is not good, my mother is sorry for you and your father," Song Yi cried and said.
Zhu Youde frowned, it was the first time he had seen his mother so out of control, "Mother, is there something wrong with my father?" ”
His son's words surprised Song Yi.
No wonder they say that children are very sensitive. Song Yi said, "Your Uncle Jiang Geng received a secret letter from the frontier yesterday, your father disappeared in the Gobi, and his whereabouts are still unknown."
"What? How so? Zhu Youde didn't expect his worries to come true, with an expression of disbelief.
Song Yi looked at his son's anxious and ruddy eyes, knowing that although their father and son rarely communicated, their blood was still thicker than water.
"Mother, the father is still ...... Alive? ”
Song Yi saw that when his son asked this question, his body swayed obviously, and he seemed very careful.
Song Yi knew that it was too cruel to let his son endure this at a young age.
She also hesitated to tell her son about this, but the reality forced her to have no other choice.
Two children, Song Yi is not at ease and can't bear to throw the children to Chunxiang. After all, she was just getting married.
In addition, Zhu Youde is eight years old, so he doesn't need to stare at him all day long, and Song Yi can take him on long journeys.
"No, your father must still be alive. It must be good" Song Yi told his son and told himself.
After explaining the situation to his son, Song Yi took advantage of Chunxiang's return to the door to go to the Guannei Hou Mansion to meet Chunxiang, and by the way, he found an excuse to hand over Zhu Youhao to her to take care of.
Of course, Song Yi did not explain the truth, but only told Chunxiang that she was going to Jiangnan to do business. Chunxiang knew that Song Yi had a textile business in Jiangnan, so she didn't think much about it.
Originally, Chunxiang wanted to follow Song Yi, but Song Yi didn't agree. She didn't go to Jiangnan at all, but to Youzhou City, how could she let Chunxiang follow?
However, Chunxiang faintly felt that Song Yi was hiding it from her again. even found that after Jiang Geng knew that the princess was leaving Beijing, he was in a bad mood.
Chunxiang finally couldn't help but ask Jiang Geng, only to know that something had happened to the real king, and everyone was hiding it from her.
Chunxiang realized that the princess did not go to Jiangnan, and it was very likely that she went to Youzhou City.
Thinking of the princess and a woman with a child, Chunxiang was very distressed. Hurriedly asked Jiang Geng to go to protect.
Jiang Geng had long wanted to go to Youzhou City, but now that he had an official position, he didn't know how to explain to his new wife that he left her alone in Kyoto a few days after the wedding.
Chunxiang didn't complain about this at all, but blamed Jiang Geng for knowing that something had happened to the prince, concealing her and not saying it, and letting the princess take the risk alone.
With the encouragement of his wife, Jiang Geng hurried up and went to chase after Princess Zhen and her party.
Just a few days after Song Yi and the others left Beijing, the news of the disappearance of the true king spread in Kyoto.
When everyone came back to their senses, the real princess had already gone thousands of miles to find her husband.
