Chapter 142: A Bad Stomach
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Wang, the people's daughter will retire first." Song Qian turned around and walked out of the door after saluting, and when the door was about to close, she raised her eyes to look at Ji Changye, and it happened that the other party was also looking at her at this time, and after understanding each other's signals, Song Qian left completely.
At that time, all kinds of dishes had been served on the table, but Ji Changye didn't have the slightest appetite, so he made an excuse and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the minister suddenly feels unwell, I'm afraid I can't dine with you, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't blame."
What Ji Qirui wanted to do had already been done, so Ji Changye's departure had no effect, and it just so happened that he didn't want to confront Ji Changye, so he pretended to be concerned and said, "The prince is serious, if you feel uncomfortable, go back, don't have anything wrong." Later, I'll ask the imperial doctor from the Imperial Capital to come to your courtyard to take a look at you."
In fact, Ji Qirui wished that Ji Changye would have an accident, so that he didn't have to worry about obstacles on the way to the emperor.
"The minister hereby thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness, and the minister retired first." Although Ji Changye knew Ji Qirui's pretense, he didn't bother to think about it, all he was thinking about now was how to explain to her when he saw Song Qian so that she wouldn't misunderstand herself.
After seeing Ji Changye and Changfeng leave, Rong closed the door tightly, walked to Ji Qirui's side and asked puzzledly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, why did you let people leave so easily, then wouldn't it be in vain that you took great pains to make an appointment between the prince and Song Qian here?"
If Ji Qirui wants to, this time is definitely a good opportunity to bring down Ji Changye. Because there are only them here, if Ji Qirui points out that Ji Changye has the intention of rebelling, he will definitely succeed.
Ji Qirui held the wine glass and explained: "This prince came here to investigate the case on the order of his father, if something happened to Ji Changye at this juncture, and it was related to this prince, wouldn't my father suspect that I was meddling?" My father didn't trust me in the first place, and when the time comes, it will be self-defeating, can this prince still be the prince? You're pretty bright on weekdays, so why don't you have a sense of proportion in this matter?"
He knew that Rong wanted to seize the opportunity, and it was not impossible to come up with an idea, that is, he was afraid of Ji Changye from the bottom of his heart, and he had been like this since he was a child, so he naturally did not dare to provoke Ji Changye easily. At that time, he still had the support of the queen, and he was not very defensive of Ji Changye, but now because of the things that the queen did in the harem, the emperor has been estranged from her openly and secretly, and the queen's power is not as good as before. ap.
If one day after the abolition, Ji Qirui has to make plans for his future, so as not to be implicated, so what he can do now is to be able to bend and stretch, calm down, deal with this matter, and make the emperor look at him with admiration.
Rong was very helpless about Ji Qirui's hesitation, and wanted to persuade him to be ruthless, so that he would not leave a handle, but he felt that what he said made sense, and it was indeed guaranteed to do so, so he hesitated and did not say what he persuaded him.
Outside the Shizhen Building, Song Qian got into the carriage and asked the coachman to drive the horse away, when a voice suddenly came from outside: "Brother brother, wait and wait." It's the sound of the long wind.
Before Song Qian could lift the curtain to see what was happening, the two figures sat in one after another.
Ji Changye sat beside Song Qian without changing his face, and lowered his head a little embarrassed.
But Changfeng didn't feel anything wrong, and said to Song Qian with a smile on his face: "Song Niangzi, you are really fast, your subordinates and the prince almost didn't catch up with you."
"Lord, Changfeng, didn't you stay and dine with His Royal Highness the Prince? Won't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blame him if he leaves anyway?" Song Qian could see that Ji Qirui was deliberately targeting Ji Changye, so he couldn't help but worry that his departure would arouse Ji Qirui's dissatisfaction, and then he would use an excuse to punish him.
Changfeng was not qualified to answer this, so he looked at Ji Changye, and after the other party noticed it, he said, "Blame me, he doesn't have the courage yet. Don't worry, Mrs. Song, I said hello to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before leaving, because I was a little uncomfortable, maybe I was overly worried."
He also deliberately emphasized the last two sentences, how could Song Qian not understand what he meant, but he still pretended not to hear anything, according to the appearance of caring about him before, "Uncomfortable? The prince has relapsed into an old disease, so let's go see Lang Zhong."
As soon as the words fell, Song Qian remembered to get up and go to catch the car with the driver outside
Say it and turn around to look at Lang Zhong.
Seeing that his meaning was not understood by Song Qian, Ji Changye hurriedly grabbed Song Qian, who was about to get up, and said, "Song Niangzi, you misunderstood me, I didn't mean that."
Song Qian was taken aback, and he didn't care to listen to Ji Changye's words at this time, but his eyes fell on the hand where he grabbed his arm, and the other party realized it later, and after discovering it, he withdrew his hand in a panic, and turned his head to the side with a little embarrassment, if you look closely, you can see his slightly reddened ears.
Changfeng took in all this, he showed a smile that understood everything, quietly opened the curtain and went out to sit next to the coachman, leaving room for Song Qian and Ji Changye.
"Changfeng, what was Song Niangzi going to do just now? Are you going to see Langzhong?" The coachman asked Changfeng while rushing to the car, because he seemed to vaguely hear the movement inside just now, and he was a little worried that he didn't hear it clearly, and he was afraid of delaying Song Qian's matter.
Changfeng shook his head and said, "You heard it wrong, Song Niangzi said that she wanted to go home quickly, not to see Langzhong." At this time, he still couldn't restrain his smile, and the appearance of the spring made the coachman wonder what he had heard just now, but what he did hear was to see Langzhong.
But since the long wind inside said so, the coachman didn't ask any more questions, and concentrated on driving his carriage.
And Song Qian and Ji Changye, who were inside, also left behind the matter of going to see Lang Zhong at this time, but they never spoke, because they didn't know what to say.
"Song Niangzi, after thinking about it, I still have to explain to you the sentence you heard in the Shizhen Building." After Ji Changye went through the mixed tastes of excitement and shyness in his heart, he finally remembered that he had something to do to catch up with Song Qianlai, so he brought up this topic.
Song Qian had temporarily forgotten about this matter because of the tension that happened at the dinner table, but he didn't expect Ji Changye to take the initiative to mention it, so he couldn't help but think of what he said, and his heart surged again.
"Song Niangzi, those words are not what I really want to say. I've never looked down on you and thought I was superior. In my eyes, you and I are just ordinary people. The reason why I said these words was just to give Ji Qirui a look, otherwise, according to his temperament and methods, if he knew that you lived under the same roof with me, he would definitely be suspicious of something and hurt you, I don't want you to be implicated because of me, so I had to say these words......" Ji Changye didn't know why he was a little incoherent and overwhelmed after he started to explain, he desperately wanted to explain clearly, but the more anxious he was, the more he made mistakes, which made him very anxious.
Song Qian also regained his composure after hearing this, and explained comfortingly: "Don't worry, I didn't take those words to heart, I know that the prince was forced to say things against his will, after getting along for so long, how could I easily misunderstand you." She admitted that she was in a trance for a moment, but reason prevailed over everything, Song Qian told herself that she could not be blinded by lies, and now that she heard Ji Changye's explanation, she was even more relieved.
This finally made Ji Changye breathe a sigh of relief.
"But my lord, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invite you to come and call me over, but you didn't do anything. When you think about it, it's hard not to suspect something." Song Qiancai wouldn't believe that Ji Qirui was so kind to invite them to dinner, without any purpose.
It just so happened that Ji Changye was also guessing what kind of medicine Ji Qirui was selling in the gourd, "According to what I know about him, I know that he is an impatient person, and he is easy to be impulsive about anything. But he invited you and me here today just to eat and ask innocuous questions......
"It means that His Royal Highness the Prince's target this time is not you or me, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't plan to attack you or me from the beginning, and the person he really wants to attack is someone else, but what does the person His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to deal with has to do with you and me, and wants to involve you and me?" Song Qian continued Ji Changye's words, and in the end, everything seemed to be explained, but it seemed that he had fallen into another mystery.
After all, if the person Ji Qirui wants to take revenge on has something to do with them, then who will it be? The people around him basically haven't dealt with Ji Qirui, and there is no reason for Ji Qirui to make a big move.
Ji Changye thought about Song Qian's question, too
It is inevitable that it will be deadlocked.
Soon Song Qian knew that she had too much to say, after all, she was just a grass citizen and was not qualified to comment on this matter between the royal family.
So she couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that this is not easy to do in the royal family, day and night worrying, think about it carefully, it is not as good as the ordinary people and the people of the mountains, although the life is not rich and rich, fine clothes and food, but there is no need to worry about being calculated, and the life is very leisurely."
These words made Ji Changye feel very touched, but he didn't know how to echo Song Qian, who made him the royal man.
When the words fell, there was no topic between the two people, so they could only sit in one place and feel the bumps of the carriage until the carriage stopped outside the house.
"Brother Ji, Mrs. Song, you are back, how about it? Did Ji Qirui embarrass you?" As soon as the three of them walked into the courtyard, they were discovered by He Yujin, who had been pacing, and he hurriedly came to them to ask.
Song Qian told He Yujin what happened, and finally comforted him, "Don't worry, Ah Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't do anything to us."
"If he dares to do anything to you, he will really think that Brother Ji is a vegetarian." Unexpectedly, He Yujin's hairstyle was very exciting.
Listening to his words, Ji Changye looked at him a little strangely, and couldn't help but look forward to his next words, wanting to hear how he described himself.
But He Yujin no longer talked about this matter, but angrily counted Ji Qirui, "He must have bad intentions for doing these things now, I know that he has not changed at all over the years, and no one deserves to recognize his position as the crown prince." You must be careful, although this Ji Qirui has a bad brain, but there is a person beside him, and those who know him know that he is a ruthless person with a bad stomach, and he may be planning to do something to you."
Listening to his words, Song Qian was very surprised how He Yujin was so hostile to Ji Qirui.
And Ji Changye said after hearing it on the side: "I said that your open-mouthed problem should also be changed, just talk about it on weekdays, what if this is heard by the prince's people now? Although he doesn't have any real power, he can still punish you, what will he do then?"
