Chapter 427: Not a drop of water
Just as they were walking towards General Xiao's room, the old man also received news from his subordinates. So before Jinshu could reach the courtyard where he lived, the old general bumped into them under the corridor first. So, they went into the nearest flower hall next to it.
As soon as Jinshu sat down, the old man asked anxiously, "Xiaojin, where have you been for most of the day?"
Jin Shu didn't rush to explain, but first expressed his gratitude to Song Yuanqing, "Grandpa, I had an accident at Li's house today, fortunately, I met Miss Song when the situation was urgent, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't see you now." ”
The old man turned his gaze to Song Yuanqing. As I said before, the General's Mansion and the Pingwu Marquis Mansion still have some origins, but Song Yuanqing acts very well, and he rarely comes to the General's Mansion on weekdays to bother, so although the old man doesn't know her very well, he still has a good impression of this junior. At least compared to Song Junze's brothers and sisters, the old man's favorability towards Song Yuanqing is much higher.
"Yuan Qing, what's going on?"
Song Yuanqing smiled at Old General Xiao, but a little anxiety flashed in his eyes, "Grandpa Xiao, I'm afraid the specific matter will have to wait for Jinshu to explain to you." To tell you the truth, my act of secretly bringing the brocade book back must have attracted the attention of the third prince. Maybe he was already in the Hou Mansion at this time, and he asked my father Xingshi for his guilt. So I don't dare to delay, and now I have to leave first. ”
"This ...... What does this have to do with the three princes? The old man looked at the two juniors in confusion.
Jinshu listened to Song Yuanqing's words, so he had to put the old man's question aside for the time being, and said to her instead: "Since this is the case, I won't keep you any longer." It's just that if the people in the Three Princes' Mansion inquire about your intention of coming here tonight, how do we answer? Jin Shu was also very cautious, thinking that since Song Yuanqing had already lied to those two guards, he had to collude now, so as not to leak his mouth and bring trouble to the people of the Hou Mansion at that time.
Song Yuanqing thought for a while, looked up at Jinshu and said, "Just say it...... I'm here to ask Grandpa Xiao for help with Lord Lin's business!"
Her answer was a bit unexpected by Jinshu, but Jinshu's expression quickly returned to normal. After that, she asked Song Yuanqing to be sent out.
As soon as Song Yuanqing walked in front, Jin Shu told General Xiao about what happened to him today. After listening to Jinshu's description for a while, Old Man Xiao was suddenly angry.
"Bastard! This Sima Tingfei dares to do this to you!" The old man was so angry that his face turned red, and it was estimated that if it weren't for the other party's face being a prince, he might have gone directly to the palace with a sword.
"Grandpa, you are discouraged. Now is not the time to be angry. Although Jinshu also wanted to cut the third prince into two pieces with a knife, she could still distinguish which was more important at the moment, "Looking at the attitude of the third prince today, he obviously doesn't want to cure the monarch, if we want to enter the palace tomorrow to detoxify the monarch, I'm afraid we will be blocked by him, so we have to think of a way in advance." ”
The old man's attention was suddenly diverted by the brocade book, and the whole person quickly calmed down, "You're right. We have to think about how to enter the palace tomorrow......"
On the other side, Song Yuanqing returned to the Hou Mansion in a carriage, and sure enough, when he entered the door, he was called to the front hall by the Hou Ye, and the third prince was sitting in the front hall.
