Chapter 015: Paper Can't Hold Fire
After returning to the palace, Liuli couldn't help but ask: "Niangniang is in the palace just now, why do you still help the five princes speak?" ”
Concubine Shu couldn't help but sneered: "Your Majesty loves the Fifth Prince for more than a day or two, can you really annoy him because of this matter?" In the past two days, the palace has understood, His Majesty Long Yan was furious, but he didn't want to really take the five princes to be angry, the queen was angry, and the palace also got the right to associate the six palaces, it is better to let the palace tell His Majesty's thoughts, and it can also make His Majesty remember the palace, Your Majesty wants to be angry, isn't that gentleman ready-made? ”
"Speaking of which, that gentleman is also pitiful, and he doesn't know the identity of the fifth prince." Liuli couldn't help sighing, if she knew, she wouldn't dare to make such a bet, His Majesty didn't want to take the five princes out of anger, then the family would be afraid that it would be difficult to escape.
"It's fate, and you can't escape." Concubine Shu disagreed.
However, after more than ten days of hard work, the sticky pole carefully checked the bottom of the Song family and sent it to Emperor Jingyuan.
"The Song family is the first largest household in Jiacheng, the production of Jia satin for Jianing weaving, three generations of single transmission, today's Song family old lady was the Empress Dowager Zhuang Su side of the palace maid, after entering the palace was originally in the palace as a slave, after the Empress Dowager Zhuang Su appreciated the shelter, served by its side for ten years, out of the palace at the end of the year, married to the Jiacheng Song family Song Liqun, and later had a son Song Taiping, Song Taiping and Jingzhou tea merchant Qin family married, ten years after marriage only had a son, named Song Yu, is the person who bet with the five princes, this person took the county exam at the age of seven, took the first case, and then injured Zhongyong, didn't study anymore, and mixed up with Jiacheng's son-in-law in the Goolan tile shop. ”
"It's a pity that a seven-year-old county head is rare." Emperor Jingyuan quietly listened to the report at the sticky rod, played with the wrench in his hand, and asked indifferently: "The palace maid next to the Empress Dowager Zhuang Su?" When you were on an errand in the palace, what was it called? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, your name is Honeysuckle." The person at the sticky pole paused, and said, "The minister also found out about something, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." “
"Speak." Emperor Jing Yuan picked up the tea cup on the case and took a sip, he vaguely remembered that there was indeed a palace maid named Honeysuckle next to the Empress Dowager Zhuang Su, and later she left the palace to get married.
"Three generations of the Song family, since the beginning of Song Yu's great-grandfather, has never taken a concubine, his father Song Taiping and Qin's marriage, ten years have not given birth, Rao is so, but also never accepted small, this matter was once passed on as a beautiful talk among the women of Jiacheng, but there are also good people who say that the Song family men are afraid of the inside, the Song family women are mostly fierce women, later, the Qin family suddenly got pregnant, four months later gave birth to a son, this son is Song Yu."
When Emperor Jing Yuan heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "Giving birth in April?" ”
"Yes, in this regard, the Song family said that because the Qin family was married for ten years before they became pregnant, they did not dare to publicize it, and it was not until after March that the fetus was stable, and they dared to tell others that when they were pregnant for seven months, they were born prematurely." Speaking of this, the person at the sticky pole cautiously glanced up at Emperor Jing Yuan, "The minister is suspicious ......"
Emperor Jing Yuan didn't speak, but his fingers tapped on the bookcase again and again.
After a while, he asked, "What do you think?" ”
"The minister thinks that if it is an ordinary family, ten years of infertility, if it is pregnant once, of course it is good to be cautious, but this is also a happy event, and when the fetus is stable, you must celebrate it, but how can this Song family seem to be so covered?"
Emperor Jing Yuan bowed slightly: "How old is this son now?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this son was born on the second day of March in the second year of Jingyuan, and now he is exactly thirteen."
"Thirteen ......" Emperor Jing Yuan repeated thoughtfully.
I don't know how long it took, the candle flame in the hall crackled and exploded, which startled Emperor Jingyuan back to his senses, and he sighed deeply: "Go, Rong Zhen think about it, and come back tomorrow." ”
"Yes."

After entering the winter, Song Yu refused to go out again, the injuries on his body had already healed, and he was spoiled by Xing Runan and the old lady every day, not like a maid at all, but like a grandmother, so angry that the root of his teeth was itchy, but he was helpless.
Fortunately, Runan didn't expect Song Yu to be so good at pleasing the old lady, maybe the ancestors and grandchildren were connected, and the old lady Song heard that Xingrunan had accepted a maid, so she asked her to bring her over to meet, and after meeting, Song Yu's mouth was like smearing honey, coaxing the old lady Song to be indistinguishable from the north and the south, and she was happy to let him come to accompany her every day.
On this day, Song Yu and Xing Runan came to the old lady as usual to ask for peace, the two accompanied the old lady to talk for a while, Song Yu was amusing the old lady to lean forward and back together, a person hurriedly walked in outside, stood behind the screen, and whispered: "Old lady, letter from Beijing." ”
The smile on Mrs. Song's face paused, and she said to Song Yu and Xing Runan on the side: "Okay, I'm also tired, you can go back first." ”
Fortunately, Runan and Song Yu heard this, got up and went back.
After reading the letter, Mrs. Song's face was solemn, and she said to the grandmother on the side: "Go, call the master back." ”
"Yes."
Song Taiping got the news of the old lady and rushed back without stopping.
"Mother, what's the matter?"
After Mrs. Song retreated, she handed the letter to Song Taiping, and after Song Taiping read it, she also looked solemn: "There is still an accident." Previously, Brother Xing told him that he had gambled with the five princes, and until today, Song Taiping's heart was uneasy, and he always felt that something was going to happen, but now half a year has passed, and something is still happening.
"Plan ahead." Mrs. Song held Tang Pozi in her hands, leaned on the pillow, her face was full of exhaustion, "It's not that I haven't thought about this day." ”
"Yes, son, I'll do it." After saying this, Song Taiping hurriedly went out.
Over there, Xing Runan and Song Yu went back to their yard, the sky was always dark in winter, and after dinner, Xing Runan stood in front of the window and saw the dead woman again.
It's been a long time since she's been there, and it's been two or three months since she last appeared.
"Who the hell are you?" Fortunately, after Song Yu fell asleep, Runan got up and came out to ask again.
"I'm his grandmother." The woman's voice was soft.
It turns out that this is the case, the grandmother who has fed Song Yu, even if she dies, still can't let go of her heart, so she always looks at him by his side, but she doesn't want him to have an accident, so she is far away every time.
"It's going to change." The woman's voice came again.
Xing Runan subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at the sky, the sky on winter nights is always not as clear as summer nights, often accompanied by clouds, she quickly realized that what the woman said was not this changing sky, thinking of this, her heart couldn't help jumping.
"Is the matter of the Fifth Prince known?" Xing Runan asked.
The woman sighed faintly: "Paper can't hold the fire, sooner or later something will happen." ”
