The palace has not been in the palace for two days, and there are many ministers who have been summoned in and out. It wasn't until the evening of the second day that Ah Ke came out to deliver the message, and then escorted the three little highnesses all the way back to the palace.

After bathing and changing clothes, the three siblings went to the south study of Chengqin Palace together, which was where Song Changzhen taught them privately on weekdays.

There was only a small candle lamp in the house, and the tall emperor was wearing a silver robe and jade body, standing in the moonlight in front of the window, unable to tell whether the moonlight was light or the people were more hazy.

The children saluted softly, but the man did not respond for a long time, like a jade carving, with his head slightly raised, and the deep night sky was imprinted under his eyes, but the light did not know where to fall.

"I've been there for a few days, but have you got the answer you want?" The soft cold voice was a little ethereal, as if he didn't care about the answer to this question at all.

But the little prince Song Zhijing led the three children and knelt behind him upright, "My nephew is wanton, please punish my uncle." ”

After a few more breaths of silence, the person in front of the window turned around and paced in front of him, "But what else do you want to ask me?"

"Nope. Song Zhijing replied.

The man looked to the side, and the silent child lowered his head, as if to hide in the darkness.

"Song Zhiyan, raise your head and look at me. He said.

Song Zhiyan raised his head as he said, his childish face was blurred in the orange candlelight, but his eyes were pure and clear, and there was no more hesitation.

"Do you have anything to ask me?" he asked.

"No, uncle. Song Zhiyan's answer was not very fluctuating, but his expression was a little more determined than before.

Song Changzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, this kid rarely called him uncle when he replied, he had never treated him differently from the other two, he thought that if he knew some causes and consequences, he would have to find an explanation.

At present, it seems that his years of hard work have not been in vain.

"Get up, all of you, and put the lamps in your hands. He didn't ask any more questions, and in the bright room, he sat down in front of the desk, beckoned the children to sit down separately, and said, "There will be no lectures today." ”

The children had already expected it in their hearts and waited obediently.

The face of the man in front of the case has completely grown, the former young emperor is no longer the youthful appearance of Zhilan Yushu, his eyebrows and eyes are like blades and scabbards but there is less of those angers, and the majesty of his gestures has experienced the baptism of waves and cangsang, and even the complexion that was once like jade is dyed with amber luster.

"The summons of the crown prince has been written. Song Changzhen took the jade shaft on the case and handed it over, "You take it." ”

Song Zhijing stepped forward and opened it with both hands, his voice was surprised, "Immediately, when will Uncle leave?"

"Tomorrow. Song Changzhen replied, seeing that his eyes were wider, and then asked, "Are you scared?"

"Now that the New Year is approaching, the year-end sacrifice and the New Year's blessing and auspicious ceremony, if the uncle is not there, the nephew, I am afraid that it will not be good. Although Song Zhijing hesitated, he answered honestly.

"I was not your age when I was in prison. Song Changzhen beckoned him to step forward, "All the ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee have already ordered to go down, Lu Xiang and Ge Lao are people who can teach you, don't be afraid." ”

The nephew was also afraid of disappointing his uncle's expectations. Song Zhijing held the jade shaft, although it was said that he was talented, but he was only a teenager, and the Qin State had been peaceful in recent years, how could the tenacity of his heart be compared to the young son of heaven back then.

"I have no expectations for this. Song Changzhen said flatly, and Song Zhijing, who was surprised, was surprised again, but he continued, "Because I know that you will do well." You are the prince, I am not there, everything you do, no matter what the result, is the best. Got it?"

Song Zhijing was stunned at the moment, Song Changzhen's calm gaze soaked him like sea water, patiently waiting for him to realize the deep meaning.

Song Zhijing looked back at him and whispered, "All the choices I made are correct. ”

"Yes. The voice of the reply was short and forceful.

Song Zhijing came back to his senses, there seemed to be stars under his eyes, distant and bright, faint, but he couldn't hide it, and the corners of his mouth crooked and smiled, "Nephew understands." ”

"Let's go back if you understand. Song Changzhen said, not to send him away, but the time is tight, he went back to his palace at this time to summon people, if there is anything, he can still make up for the omission in time.

Song Zhijing sat back in his place again, still smiling and said, "Uncle has all arranged, I will go back with my eldest brother." ”

The room was quiet for a while, and there seemed to be a sigh that I didn't know if it was the wind or the people, and then Song Changzhen's voice sounded again, "Song Zhiyan, I want to go to the next week with me." ”

It was also expected, but at this time, I didn't know how to face it, the smile on Song Zhijing's face was a little stiff, and Song Zhiyan's face was always calm, and he couldn't see whether he had emotions or not.

Song Yuanguo lowered his head and played with his fingers for a while, and finally got up and ran to the desk, looking at Song Changzhen with a pair of phoenix eyes and asking, "Uncle is just going to take the eldest brother to see that person, right?

Song Changzhen touched her head lovingly, but there was no room for reservation in his answer, "He won't come back." ”

"Why?" The tears in Song Yuanguo's eyes instantly fell uncontrollably, "Uncle, that is not the big brother's home, this is the place, Yuanguo doesn't want the big brother to go." ”

Song Changzhen gently wiped her tears, but there were no words of comfort in his mouth, "If your mother is still here, she will be the queen of the next week, and your eldest brother will be the prince of the next week, do you understand?"

Song Yuanguo shook his head with red eyes, "Big brother won't want to be the prince." ”

Song Changzhen pulled her to sit beside him and looked at the quiet young man, "Song Zhiyan." ”

Song Zhiyan got up and walked to the front of the case, his eyes calm in response, "Uncle." ”

"The next week can only be your mother, and even a name can't be touched by others. ”

Zhiyan understood. Song Zhiyan had always known that his expectations of himself were different from those of his younger siblings, but now that the answer was revealed, he was relieved that his life finally had the true meaning of existence.

It's him, it's good to go and hold on to a world for his mother!

"But, will we never see the eldest brother again?" Song Yuanguo sobbed again, holding Song Changzhen's arm anxiously and helplessly, "Uncle, can't you wait any longer? Didn't you say that my mother had news? If my mother was still there, I would be reluctant to send my eldest brother to the land of jackals, uncle, uncle." ”

Song Changzhen was finally no match for her bitter pleading, "If your mother is still here, your uncle will take her back with your eldest brother." ”

God knows, how much he wants it to be a miracle about his sister, he is willing to crouch in this corner of the sea for generations, as long as she is alive, he will accompany her on a voyage, to see the wider world she has said, not to be an emperor, not to look forward to a thousand years, as long as she is alive!

"Then, Yuanguo is going too!" Song Yuanguo said suddenly.

Before Song Changzhen could speak, she had already let go of her hand and ran back to Song Zhijing, wiping her tears, Chengken looked at her brother and whispered, "Brother Prince, I want to go with my eldest brother, I want to come back with my eldest brother." ”

Song Zhijing's throat was a little dry, he nodded, and then said with a dumb smile: "I know, I'm waiting for you to come back together." ”

If the eldest brother can't come back, please also send him off on my behalf, I don't know if I can see him again in this life, maybe goodbye, and have a different identity, I don't know if there will be a relatively speechless situation.

Song Yuanguo's small body turned around and knelt straight in front of the case, "Uncle, please take Yuanguo with you." ”

If it is already destined that the big brother will be separated from him, but let her send him all the way to his home.

Song Changzhen's heart was dull and painful, and he nodded at Song Zhiyan, Zhiyan went to pull his sister up, "Don't cry, my uncle should go." ”

Song Yuanguo pulled him with one hand and wiped his eyes with the other, but he cried even more.

No matter how many words Song Changzhen said, he didn't know where to start, and waved his hand to let the children retreat.

The palace people came in and blew out the lights, leaving only the small candle flame at the beginning, Song Changzhen got up, stared at the small flame for a long time, and then blew off the sparks, and the whole person was silent in the night.

Sister, do you see it? Changzhen is going to do something wrong again, if you don't come out to stop it, we won't have a way back.

Sister, you love him so much, you love them so much, you won't hide it anymore, will you?

Across thousands of mountains and rivers, Song Yunhe, who was far away in the realm of hills and mountains, panicked for no reason, and the rabbit in his hand jumped out of his arms because of the pain of being pinched, and the dull sound was like a heavy object hitting his body, and he was in pain.

"What time is it?" asked Song Yunhe.

Someone took her hand and wrote the word 'hai' in the palm of her hand, and then wrote a 'two', which means two moments of hai.

"It's so late, and your master hasn't come back yet?" Song Yunhe was a little worried, but the people serving next to him didn't move.

Song Yunhe sighed slightly, he couldn't understand what the change was in Chai Yu at the moment, he didn't like to talk to himself, it didn't matter, he found a maid for her, but he was also dumb, she could assign any job, but any problem was in her hands.

And most of them just answer yes and no, or a few simple words, but any question that needs to be explained like now, it is like a robot malfunctioning, and it is silent and does not write.

After being quiet for a while, Song Yunhe asked again, "Are you born unable to speak, or are you unable to speak when you come to me?"

The person next to her moved her body, her feet had not yet been raised, and she had already stood firmly, how was she going to answer this question?

Song Yunhe was still asking, "Are you injured?"

On the first day she came to her, when she stood beside her, her breath and nose began to smell of blood, and she thought that he would send her a handmaiden who knew martial arts, just like a cicada sparrow, but what kind of handmaiden would it be that the blood on her body did not dissipate for a few days?

So, she suspects that she may have been injured, but she doesn't know where the injury is.

What I'm most afraid of is, will it hurt in my mouth?

Will he make people dumb in order not to leak information about her?

Song Yunhe wanted to know the answer, and wanted to know what he had become.
