Chapter 152: Knowing is Not Knowing
"Shizi, are we really not going to bring His Royal Highness Nine back to Beijing?"
The carriage was bumpy on the road, and he had just finished eating a stomach of snacks, and he was leaning on the carriage and closing his eyes to pretend to sleep, but he only opened his eyes when he heard Song Qing's words.
"Xiao Jiu is full of food and sleep here, what are you going to do with him back?"
He had to go back first to find out what was going on with his second cousin.
Thinking of what Gu Chengyuan said earlier, Song Jing's eyes darkened.
"But the emperor ...... there"
"Don't worry, as long as Xiao Jiu is moved out, even if it turns the capital upside down, Uncle Huang won't be angry."
Thinking of the emperor's favor for Gu Chengyuan, Song Qing didn't say anything more.
From Yuchun County to the capital, the carriage also traveled on the official road for half a month.
When he arrived in the capital, Song Jing didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he rushed to the palace.
Before leaving, he glanced at the few snacks he had left, and finally took out two bottles of canned oranges and a bottle of hot sauce.
"Song Qing, send the blue baggage back to my room, and take the rest to my mother."
The Imperial Study.
"Your Majesty, Prince Jing asks to see."
The chamberlain came in to pray, and Emperor Yongxuan hurriedly put down the official business in his hand and raised his head.
"Your Majesty."
Seeing that he was saluting, Emperor Yongxuan waved his hand and drove the chamberlain out.
When the door was closed from the outside, Song Jing regained his intimacy. Reach out and place the can you brought on the table.
"What is this? What about Chengyuan? ”
I didn't see the figure that I was thinking about, and Emperor Yongxuan couldn't help but look behind Song Jing.
"Xiao Jiu said that he can't come back yet."
Song Jing said that Emperor Yongxuan was in a hurry, and slapped the table: "Why? ”
"Oh, Uncle Huang, don't worry!" After going around to the table, Song Jing helped the person to sit down.
Hearing this, Emperor Yongxuan was angry: "Chengyuan has been out for more than a few months, and you still let me not worry!" ”
The disappearance of his youngest son, the floods in the northwest, and the Turkic rebellion, all of these things are enough to make him anxious.
"Uncle Huang, listen to me first."
Compared with Emperor Yongxuan, who was restless at this time, Song Jing sat aside slowly.
"Do you know why Xiao Jiu disappeared?"
Emperor Yongxuan was stunned when he asked this.
"Didn't Cheng Yuan disappear when he encountered bandits on the way to the northwest military camp?"
Until now, Emperor Yongxuan still remembers the feeling he felt when the news came back.
"At that time, Xiao Jiu was followed by Yu Linwei."
In just one sentence, it pierced the reality that Emperor Yongxuan had been unwilling to face.
Yes, the royal Yulin Guard, what kind of bandit dares to come forward to seek death.
Moreover, in order to protect Xiao Jiu at that time, the team he sent was still the elite of Yu Linwei. But in the end, the news came back that the army was almost wiped out.
There were more than a dozen of the two hundred people left, and Xiao Jiu was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing Emperor Yongxuan, who fell into silence, Song Jing sighed lightly in his heart.
Not to mention the emperor's uncle, no one wants to accept this fratricidal thing.
"That ......"
It took a long time for Emperor Yongxuan to find his voice.
"Uncle Huang, don't worry." Song Jing looked like a hippie smile, "Xiao Jiufu has a big life, he was saved, no, he asked me to come back first to tell you, and let me bring you this novel food." ”
As he spoke, Song Jing reluctantly handed over a bottle of canned food.
Sure enough, Emperor Yongxuan was diverted the moment he heard that this was brought back by Gu Chengyuan.
"What is this?"
Looking at the crystal clear glass can, Emperor Yongxuan's eyes were full of surprise. I reached out and touched it, and found that it was the feel of porcelain.
"Canned fruit."
Seeing Emperor Yongxuan's expression, Song Jing's evil taste suddenly balanced his psychology. At first, his appearance as if he had never seen the world appeared on the emperor's uncle.
The palace rules are strict, and under normal circumstances, all the food imported by the emperor must be inspected layer by layer. After opening the can, the waiter came in with dishes, and wanted to use a silver needle to test the poison but was stopped by Emperor Yongxuan.
"No problem."
Poured into the white jade bowl, the clear flesh looks more and more attractive.
And that's exactly what happened.
No matter how delicious the food is, when the emperor eats at most one or two bites, he must stop after tasting it. But until Emperor Yongxuan finished eating the last piece of pulp in the bowl, he was still unsatisfied.
"What is this?"
Looking at the other bottle of cans on the table, Emperor Yongxuan finally swallowed his appetite and turned his gaze to the red and bright bottle on the side.
"This is a chili pepper, which is more exciting than Sichuan pepper, and the imperial uncle will taste it when he eats."
Emperor Yongxuan nodded, and finally his gaze fell on another bottle.
"Come on, send this can to the concubine—"
"Uncle Huang!" Song Jing interrupted him, picked up the bottle of canned food and unscrewed it: "This is Xiao Jiu's special confession to be filial to you!" ”
Song Jing only said about the emperor, and did not mention Xue Guifei again.
Hearing this, Emperor Yongxuan was stunned for a moment, and then a clear smile overflowed on his face.
"Since it is Chengyuan's filial piety, then I will accept it."
In the end, after eating the canned food, the two people who were pulling east and west didn't know whether they wanted it or not, but they never got to the reason for Gu Chengyuan's disappearance.
Then he found an excuse to leave.
Song Jing, who walked out of the palace gate, looked up at the gray sky, and suddenly sighed a little in his heart.
"Ah Qing."
On the way home, Song Jing called out Song Qing.
Then the figure appeared in the carriage like a ghost.
"Do you think the emperor's uncle knows?"
He just didn't believe that his second cousin would attack Xiao Jiu, a fellow mother, but the emperor's uncle ......
"Maybe the emperor also has his difficulties."
There are difficulties, so it is necessary to let a child be wronged thoroughly?
Song Jing didn't say anything more, and the carriage drove all the way back to the eldest princess's mansion.
"Jing'er~ You're back, come and let my mother take a look!"
When the eldest princess got the news, she came to the front yard and waited.
Song Jing is her only child, and she can't help but worry about it day and night after more than a month in the northwest.
"Look at you, you've been walking for so long—"
The eldest princess wanted to say that she had lost weight due to bumps on the road, but when she looked over the past, she found that she was not thin, and her son's chin still had a very obvious trace of fatness.
Looking down, she found her son's strange-looking clothes again.
"Jing'er, what are you?" How can you dress like the poor people?
Seeing her mother's concerned eyes, Song Jing's mood improved a lot.
"Mother~ Don't underestimate this dress, it's warm!"
Later, under the inquiry of the eldest princess, he roughly told him what happened on this trip. But he avoided the matter of the second prince Gu Chengfeng.
"Xiao Jiu is not sensible, why are you messing around?!" Hearing that Gu Chengyuan was still in the northwest, the eldest princess couldn't help but say angrily: "If you do this, you're not afraid that your imperial uncle will blame you!" ”
"Mother, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, and it is not a good thing to call Xiao Jiu back now."
"You're right!" After thinking for a moment, the eldest princess nodded: "Wait until the person in the dark is pulled out, and then let Xiao Jiu come back!" ”
"Mother, what do you think of the relationship between the second cousin and Xiao Jiu?"
Catching a glimpse of the anger on the eldest princess's face, Song Jing suddenly opened her mouth tentatively......
