Chapter 80: Song Changzhen, You Owe Me, Do You Admit It?
Song Changzhen returned to the palace from the camp in the eastern suburbs, it was almost dusk, and the eunuch came to report that Princess Qin Yuan had entered the palace and waited for a long time, but he didn't even change his armor, so he went straight to Luxiang Palace.
Lingque and Mama Lin were guarding the gate of the palace, and when they saw him saluting in a low voice, Song Changzhen leaned out, and on the jade table in the palace courtyard, Song Yunhe held his head and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and he didn't know how long he slept.
"Princess, has she been in a better mood lately?" Song Changzhen retracted and asked in a low voice.
"Returning to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been very worried since she returned, eating and eating hard, and sleeping very unsteadily at night. Mama Lin replied.
Song Changzhen frowned slightly, "A few days ago, Imperial Doctor Bai went, but it still didn't get any better?"
Imperial Doctor Bai thought that his majesty and the princess had any suspicions and didn't care about each other, but in fact, Song Changzhen had been worried, he didn't regret ruining Weng Cheng, but he was a little annoyed that he should explain the key to the eldest sister as soon as possible, the eldest sister complained about him, scolded him, and even beat him, which was better than the result of her choosing to separate from Chai Yu.
But he hurried back, looking at the lights of the princess's mansion from afar, and there was some happiness in his heart, as if the entire imperial city suddenly brightened, he was no longer alone guarding a countryman, his dearest person returned to him, and he would never leave again.
He was guilty and happy, because he didn't dare to see her.
He thought, waited, waited, but he didn't know how soon she would come again.
"Imperial Physician Bai has only been in the palace for a few days, and His Royal Highness has only taken some decoction, and he can barely walk on the ground, so he entered the palace. Mama Lin replied.
"How can you let her enter the palace in this way? But there is something urgent? Why didn't you send someone to report earlier?" Song Changzhen never thought that she was so seriously ill, and scolded a few words in a row, raised her feet and entered the hospital, but the two people behind her did not follow, "Do you have roots on your feet?
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess has ordered that slaves and maids are not allowed to enter the hospital. Mama Lin saluted again, "Your Highness said that if Your Majesty arrives, please go in by yourself." β
Song Changzhen thought that he still had to be reprimanded by the eldest sister, for fear that he would lose face and hurt these minions, so he had these orders, but he was a little less apprehensive in his heart, and sent the eunuchs behind him to enter the palace by himself.
After Mama Lin waited for him to enter as instructed earlier, she closed the door of the palace courtyard, still waiting with the spirit sparrow on both sides of the door, and no longer let anyone approach.
Song Changzhen sat down lightly opposite the jade table, supported his head in the same posture, and looked at the quiet girl opposite.
It was only ten days since they last met, and she was still shyly responding to Chai Yu's marriage proposal at that time, but now, her face was unpretentious, her emaciated face bones were bulging, her black hair was even more dull, and her whole person exuded a withered decline.
Song Changzhen subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to touch her, wanting to tell her that there is not only Chai Yu and him in this world, they are the closest people, and she can't torture herself like this.
As soon as his fingers touched his cheek, Song Yunhe opened his eyes, and when he saw him, he subconsciously straightened back a little, Song Changzhen's hand froze in the air, and Song Yunhe's defensive body also stiffened for a few seconds.
"I've bothered my sister. Song Changzhen first withdrew his hand as if playful, put it under the table and clenched it slightly and loosened it, and said with a relaxed face, "Sister, punish me." β
Song Yunhe's body did not relax, a pair of apricot eyes looked at him stunned, before she came, she thought of several scenes of their meeting, accusations, resentment, and even scolding, she had accumulated a lot of strength to quarrel with him, argue with him about right and wrong, and she was even ready to break up.
But she didn't expect him to smile and say, "Sister, punish me."
I can't tell if it's sadness, sorrow, or more pity in my heart, for the life of Weng Cheng, but also for the young emperor in front of him.
The process of human history has never been indispensable for bloodshed, massacres, and kings who are remembered in the annals of history, who are all heroes of their own country, but who is not a sinner of other countries?
The fall of Weng Cheng is only a matter of time, but it should not be in the hands of Song Changzhen, let alone in such a violent way.
"If I hadn't had an accident in Yunjing, would you have blown up Weng City?" Song Yunhe asked.
"No, it won't. Song Changzhen was silent for only a few breaths, but his tone did not hesitate, "But I will eventually let others destroy it, Dong Zhou, Hou Zhou or themselves, I will not let them have any chance to hurt my sister." β
Weng Cheng controlled the old department of the Chai family, not only asked Chai Yu to take the daughter of the old minister as a concubine many times, but also asked for the position of the concubine and the eldest son, and resolutely resisted Princess Qin Yuan as the queen, and even some old ministers forced him to destroy his marriage, Chai Yu has always refused, for which Weng Cheng not only cut off Chai Yu's silver grain but also recalled the people around him.
Fortunately, Chai Yu never naively thought that he could rely on Weng Cheng all his life, and he had his own deployment, so he was not led by Weng Cheng to be a puppet emperor.
However, this does not mean that Chai Yu will not accept the woman of the former minister as a concubine for the rest of his life.
As long as Weng Cheng exists for a day, his ambition will swell for a day, the first time he dared to indulge in assassinating and injuring Chai Yu's face, the second time he dared to unite with outsiders to poison Chai Yu, and the third time, who can guarantee that he will not take his life?
If Song Yunhe marries into Chai Yu's palace, he will bear the brunt.
Song Changzhen will never let such a thing happen again!
"If I hadn't had any entanglements with Chai Yu, would you still make a move against Weng Cheng?" Song Yunhe asked again.
"Yes. This time, Song Changzhen didn't even have time to be silent, and answered directly.
If there is no entanglement of friendship, if you want to provoke the war between the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the next week, there is no suitable choice for Bion City!
"Sister, whether it is me or Chai Yu in Dongzhou, it is impossible for us to let Weng Cheng continue to be peaceful. The only thing I regret is that I didn't consult with you beforehand and didn't explain it to you properly. Song Changzhen's words were a little pale, but they were not quibbles.
Song Yunhe hated him for disregarding human life, and also complained about him for using her as a crime, but everything that has happened, it is still her sin to pursue it in the end.
It was she who made explosives and firearms to make Song Changzhen strong and conceited, it was she who entangled Chai Yu to exacerbate the conflict between him and Weng Cheng, if she had been a princess at the beginning, if she had listened to them and obediently eat, drink and learn etiquette, if she could have discovered the truth and unreality of everything earlier, she would not have come to this point.
After a long silence, Song Yunhe asked again: "Do you remember that I once said that I will no longer believe you as before?"
"Hmm. Song Changzhen replied softly.
"Even if I said that at the time, I have never doubted you or blamed you all these years. Song Yunhe said.
She never suspected that he was using her, but she never forgot his ambition to return to his homeland with the people of Qin, she didn't ask about political affairs, but she was never naΓ―ve and stupid, she just wanted to have too much.
Family, love, friendship, normal human beings should have, she wants to have.
However, she was destined to not need to have these emotions and freedoms in the early morning.
"I believe in you and love you, but you're sorry for me, aren't you?" Song Yunhe asked.
Song Changzhen panicked, "Sister." β
"Song Changzhen, you owe me, do you admit it?" Song Yunhe looked at him straightly, not giving him a chance to dodge.
"Changzhen, I owe my sister. Song Changzhen opened his mouth to admit that his heart was pressed by a boulder, he knew that she owed her, from being in his mother's body, from her birth and growth, she was a different soul, and she has always been a good sister who cares, tolerates, and protects him, but when she forced him to say this, he knew that there must be a storm coming.
He didn't know if he would be able to withstand the punishment she had given.
"If you owe it, you have to pay it back, for a long time. Song Yunhe was indifferent and serious, like a judge pronouncing a sentence, "I'm pregnant." β
It was like two sentences with a preface that didn't match the afterword, but Song Changzhen's mind was like a whole warehouse explosives bursting open, and he opened his mouth to stammer.
"Someone, someone!" After being shocked and flustered, Song Changzhen finally shouted. "Someone!"
Mama Lin pushed open the door but still didn't enter the courtyard, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, please command." β
"Doctor Chuan, where is Bai Laichao?" Song Changzhen almost roared loudly, "Let Bai Laichao come to see me!"
Mama Lin glanced at the princess who was still sitting in the same place, and sent the sparrow to the hospital and then went back to the house to bring Bai Laiji, but she was still guarding the gate of the hospital, but she no longer closed the door.
"When was this confirmed? A few days ago, Bai Laixuan went to the mansion for this matter? Who else knows? Chai Yu knows about this?" Song Changzhen asked a few questions in a row, like a raging tiger.
Song Yunhe was already holding on a little bit of hard energy, and he was frightened by his completely unexpected behavior, like a balloon that had been poked, constantly deflated, and he couldn't tell what he was angry about.
"I'm going to give birth to a baby. Song Yunhe decided to finish his words as originally planned, "You just admitted that you owe me, and you promised me not to harm the child's life, and we will offset each other." β
"Shut up!" Song Changzhen rebuked loudly.
Song Yunhe was stunned for a moment, but he was more courageous, after all, his anger was in her filing, "I have made up my mind, if you shouldn't... β
"You still say!" Song Changzhen roared again, Song Yunhe's frightened echo, but this time he saw clearly that his eyes were not angry, but they seemed to be full of tears, and when he wanted to take a closer look, he had already turned his head to look outside the door and ordered: "Mama Lin, come and help the princess into the house and lie down." β
This time, Mama Lin quickly entered the courtyard with her hands and feet to support Song Yunhe, but Song Yunhe herself was still confused, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
Song Changzhen was already angry and distressed at this time, he didn't want to pay attention to her, urged Mama Lin to help her into the house and instructed: "Stay in peace with the princess, don't ask her to talk nonsense." β
"Is he going to put me under house arrest in the palace?" Song Yunhe always felt that the current situation was really wrong.
Mama Lin took off her shoes and carried her to the bed, and covered her with a quilt again, "Your Majesty cherishes Your Highness the most in your heart, how can you put Your Highness under house arrest." His Royal Highness usually thinks too much, which will affect the jade body and violate the harmony. No matter what happens, His Royal Highness Wanwang must cherish himself. β
Song Yunhe could only rest obediently on the bed for a while and wait to be arranged, and the imperial doctor soon arrived at Luxiang Palace, but Song Changzhen seemed to remember something and sent it back, waiting for Bai Laixi to be carried into the palace, Song Yunhe was drowsy and couldn't open his eyes.
Bai Laichao honestly withdrew his pulse in fear and replied to Song Changzhen.
"Who else knows about the princess's pregnancy?" Song Changzhen asked in a deep voice with a cold face.
Bai Lai's neck was cold, and he felt that he might not be able to get out of this Luxiang Palace today, but he was still honest: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows that there is only one minister." β
Song Changzhen was still satisfied with this answer, and asked again: "How is the princess's health?
Bai Laichao lowered his head and couldn't see His Majesty's expression, he didn't know what answer His Majesty's mind wanted, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"You answer truthfully, if you deceive me with one word, I will destroy your clan!"
Bai Lai hurriedly kowtowed and replied: "Her Royal Highness the princess's current body has no other diseases except for poor nutrition, and if you take care of it, you should be able to give birth." β
"I remember that you said that the princess's body and heirs are difficult, so it really won't be in the way?" Song Changzhen confirmed again.
"His Royal Highness was indeed unwell earlier, but now, he is indeed fine, perhaps there is a better doctor elsewhere to heal. β
Song Changzhen thought of Wen Suling, who lived in the Song Mansion before, and snorted coldly, "Your medical skills can only beg for food in the Qin Kingdom." β
"Your Majesty is merciful. β
"In the future, you will follow the princess, and if there is any mistake, you will destroy your nine clans!"
"Yes!" Bai Laichao saved his life, his heart was slightly relieved, and he asked again, "Your Majesty agrees with Her Royal Highness the princess to give birth to the child?"
Song Changzhen looked coldly, "Who said that Her Royal Highness the princess wants to have a child?"
Bai Lai shrunk his neck.
"It's my queen who wants to have a baby!"
