"Second brother-in-law, the emperor may summon you recently." Song Xingchen took the time to meet with Shen Yi, frowned, and said, "When I entered the palace to meet him, I didn't look very good at the emperor's complexion, so you have to deal with it carefully." ”

"Hmm." Shen Yi simply replied with a word, and said to Song Xingchen: "Don't make any more assertions in the future, it's not a good thing to let the emperor target you, in case the emperor wants to live forever, it will be a disaster for our family, do you know?" ”

"I understand that it was also for survival that I had to make a decision, and now the Song family is no longer the Song family without hole cards, how can I take risks again?" Song Xingchen rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Now I only hope that the emperor can last a few more years and make the Great Zhou Kingdom stronger, otherwise the new monarch will ascend the throne, and those small countries will inevitably be restless, and when the second brother will go to the front line to fight again, we may not be able to live comfortably in the rear." ”

"Xingchen, how do you want the Song family to develop? Now that the Song family is in the limelight, the second brother-in-law believes that you are not a person who has no success, so don't you worry about becoming a royal henchman? Shen Yi poured a cup of tea for Song Xingchen and said gently: "Chrysanthemum tea, clear your eyes and go to the fire, drink a little." ”

"I know this truth, but if the Song family wants to retreat, they also need an opportunity, and it's not time yet." Song Xingchen smiled mysteriously, took a sip of tea and said, "I don't want much, a family can live happily, food and clothing are enough." The Song family will develop today, many times it is not that we want to be rich and rich, but forced by the situation, if we can ensure that the Song family can live in peace, why do we need to keep chasing and fighting? ”

"If you don't get lost in the world, the second brother-in-law will be at ease." Shen Yi chuckled.

The Song family is united, but it is with Song Xingchen as the central point, which Shen Yi realized at the beginning of his acquaintance with this family.

The Song family will come to the capital to take root, also because Song Xingchen wants to come here.

Now the Song family, whether it is power or money, has made many people out of reach, if they can retreat bravely, they can still be descendants.

But once the Song family continues to develop, it will definitely become a thorn in the side of the royal family, and the consequences will not be borne by the Song family at that time.

"There is the most dark force that has been investigating me, and I don't know if it has something to do with the fairy water. In the next two days, I am going to send your second sister, mother and son home for a while, and then take them home after the reason is clarified. Xingchen, I entrusted them to you. Shen Yi was silent for a moment, but he still decided to be honest with Song Xingchen.

"Dark forces?" Song Xingchen was shocked, "It can't be the emperor's person, if the emperor wants to get something from you, either he will be so secret that he won't let you find out, or he will directly order as the emperor, and he won't operate in the dark, and the emperor doesn't want the matter of the fairy water to leak out." ”

"I've got some eyebrows on this matter, and I'll take care of it." Shen Yiyi.

Seeing Shen Yi's brows tightened, Song Xingchen knew that things were not simple, and hurriedly said, "Second brother-in-law, can't you trust me?" We are a family, and we should help each other. ”

"Xingchen, the second brother-in-law knows your intentions, but there are some things that I have to face by myself. Don't worry, those people don't know about the fairy water, they are here for the secret of my Shen family. Shen Yi said, his eyes bursting with hatred.

Song Xingchen opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything he wanted to persuade.

When he was in Yinjiabao, Song Xingchen knew some problems with Shen's life, and the people he hated must be related to the murderer of his parents.

"If the second brother-in-law needs manpower, he doesn't need to be polite to Xingchen." Song Xingchen expressed his support.

"Okay." Shen Yi bowed.

The two sat for a while, and then went to the hospital to pick up Song Yue's mother and son, so that they would not be in danger.

In the mansion of the eldest prince, except for the battle to kill the enemy, the eldest prince, who could hardly see his figure in the court and the opposition, looked at Zhou Ding standing in front of him with a murderous face at this moment.

Because he was practicing his sword just now, the blade in his hand had not been put down at the moment.

"Is this the hospitality of the Great Prince?" Zhou Ding found a seat and sat down, "Since this prince is here, there is a reason why he must come to see the eldest prince, unless this prince sees the wrong person, the eldest prince is just a reckless man who shouts and kills, and as a prince, he has no ambition to become the son of heaven." ”

"All down." The eldest prince gave an order, and the people in the martial arts field quickly evacuated.

The long sword was still carried with him, and the eldest prince sat opposite Zhou Ding with a steady pace, and the murderous aura in his eyes never faded.

"It is rumored that the eldest prince is very good at kung fu immediately, and he is a master of strategy, but unfortunately his biological mother is from a humble background, even if she occupies the identity of the emperor's eldest son, she still can't get the emperor's attention, and her days in the capital are so idle that the prince is envious." Zhou Ding poured himself a cup of tea, and his tone was half complimenting and half mocking.

"The door is over there." The eldest prince's face turned gloomy and he pointed in the direction of the door.

As the eldest son of the emperor, he is the least valued by the emperor, and he hides in the prince's mansion all the year round, in order to survive, not only does he dare not make friends with the courtiers, but he can't even have heirs, and the depression in the heart of the eldest prince is only known to him.

Zhou Ding's words hit the sore spot of the eldest prince, and he naturally couldn't wait peacefully.

"The eldest prince is sure to drive me away, won't you regret it?" Zhou Ding laughed, since the eldest prince did not drive him away at the first time, he knew that the eldest prince was an ambitious person, "We cooperate, I will help you ascend to that position, and you will send me the three cities near the Western Zhou Kingdom." ”

Zhou Ding took out a piece of paper with the names of the three cities written on it.

The eldest prince glanced at it, and immediately said coldly: "Don't think about it, these three cities are fortresses except for the border cities, once ceded, it will be equivalent to tearing the Great Zhou Kingdom apart, and the Western Zhou Kingdom can attack at any time, are you a fool to be the prince?" ”

"This prince only said the quid pro quo, and did not say that the eldest prince could not fight the city back in the future." Zhou Ding hooked his lips and said with an evil smile: "Compared with the consequences of the war between the two countries, I think the eldest prince should be more concerned about whether you can inherit the throne, if the world of this Great Zhou Kingdom is owned by others, it is the border is peaceful, and you will not benefit the eldest prince at all, but will be trapped in this mansion for the rest of your life, and future generations will always be able to kowtow to others, the eldest prince, are you really willing to do this in this life?" ”

The eldest prince's face was gloomy and terrifying, his fists were clenched tightly, but he did not answer Zhou Ding.

Seeing this, Zhou Ding continued to stimulate: "Since the eldest prince would rather kneel at the feet of others for the rest of his life, if this prince has never come today, the eldest prince will become a prisoner in the future, and this prince will be powerless." The eldest prince should not forget the fate of the third prince, if it weren't for the emperor's concern for the love of father and son, he would have gone to Huangquan long ago. But since ancient times, fathers may be reluctant to kill their sons, and emperors who kill their siblings after becoming the Son of Heaven abound, even your father is no exception. ”

The eldest prince still didn't make a sound, but his fists were clucking, showing his inner turmoil.

Zhou Ding waited for a moment, got up and sneered: "No wonder the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom is dedicated to cultivating the second prince, in the eyes of this prince, it is definitely not because of his identity as the prince, but because the third prince is incompetent, and you are not a person who has achieved great things." That's it, today as if the prince has not come, the eldest prince, you are now in the palace to show loyalty to the emperor, maybe there is a way to live, as for whether the second prince believes that there is no transaction between you and the prince, it is not something that the prince should worry about. ”

"The cooperation you just talked about, this prince is interested." The eldest prince spoke in a low voice.

Zhou Ding paused, then laughed, turned around and sat back, and said excitedly: "This prince knows that people born in the royal family don't have half an idea about that position. The eldest prince can rest assured that this prince is seeking a win-win situation, and will never let the eldest prince regret this cooperation. ”

Zhou Ding's eyes flashed, and although the eldest prince didn't look at him, he didn't believe his words.

Mo said that they are not a country, they are a faction, and the eldest prince will not believe it completely, he believes that the winner is the king.

Zhou Ding's matter of going to find the eldest prince will naturally be known by those who pay attention to him, Zhou Feng and the emperor are among them, and An Xuyan also got the news as soon as possible, but he ignored it with a sneer.

"If anyone wants to die, let him go." An Xuyan no longer paid attention to this matter with a word, but it also made people pay close attention to the dynamics of the two.

Let's say that Yelang has been busy these days, and he rarely has time to return to Song's house, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities to meet Song Xingchen.

Seeing that the wedding day is approaching, Song Lu's supervision of Song Xingchen has become stricter, plus Zhou Ding is still in the capital, Song Xingchen is wandering around the capital, it is inevitable that there will be dangers, and she herself is happy to cooperate.

"Xingchen, what should I do?" Zhou Jin ran into the house with red eyes, didn't notice that there was still Song Yueya in the house, and said aggrievedly: "My father wants to marry me, and I am already choosing a candidate for a concubine, but I have inquired, and the candidate that my father likes is not your eldest brother." ”

"How could it be so sudden?" Song Xingchen was a little surprised.

With the emperor's love for Zhou Jin, she should be kept for a few more years, after all, the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, and Zhou Jin is just getting married now.

Suddenly remembered that when he saw the emperor before, the emperor's complexion was very bad, and Song Xingchen faintly had an uneasy thought.

"I don't know, my father has never leaked any news before, but he said that he wanted me to marry in a few years, but yesterday my father suddenly said to my mother that he wanted to choose a horse for me, and the queen mother wanted to keep me for two years, but my father expressed his attitude on the excuse that the daughter was not staying." Zhou Jin wiped her tears, sniffed and asked, "Xingchen, what should I do?" Why don't I ask my father to call the shots? But I'm afraid that my father will think that your eldest brother is coaxing my feelings, and maybe I don't like him even more. ”

"Well." Song Xingchen scratched his head, "The king's heart is unpredictable, and I don't know what the emperor will think, but generally fathers will think that their son-in-law is here to rob his daughter." But if you don't show your attitude, once the emperor gives you a marriage, it will really be too late. ”

"Then I'll go back to the palace, if my father is angry, I'll ask my father to nod and agree." Zhou Jin had a gesture of sacrificing himself.

Song Xingchen hurriedly grabbed her and said softly: "Don't be in a hurry about this, even if your father wants to choose a horse for you, at least he will wait until after the peace is negotiated, you might as well go and explore the queen's voice first, and it is best to pull the second prince to your camp." With their help, there will be a lot less obstacle between you and Big Brother. On the eldest brother's side, I'll talk to him. ”

"Then I'll go to the second brother now, and then go back to the palace to ask the queen mother." Zhou Jin immediately got up, this time Song Xingchen couldn't pull it even if he wanted to.

Looking at Zhou Jin's eager back, Song Xingchen only felt a headache, afraid that she was too anxious, and something would happen.
