Chapter 12: Going to court with Su Jin
On the prince's birthday, although Qi Song ordered the banquet to be simple.
But the slaves and maids still got up from before dawn to prepare for the bus.
The feast is set at sunset.
Qi Song got up in the morning and locked the minister and the imperial doctor together to discuss countermeasures, and did not come out of the house until late in the afternoon.
Xie Liang, who was guarding outside the door, stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, are your subordinates going to pick up Miss Su at this moment?" ”
Qi Song bypassed him, "This king changes his clothes and goes in person." ”
He chose among the clothes he brought, tried and tried, and finally chose a smoky blue robe to change into.
The maidservant hung a string of white jade beads on his chest.
Qi Song glanced around, and saw another string of beads that was smaller than him, and it was exactly the same.
"This string is packed in a brocade box."
I'll see Su Fei later and reward her.
When Qi Song stepped into the restaurant, he happened to see Su Fei walking down from upstairs.
She took off her usual clothes that were easy to move, put on a pink and white long skirt embroidered with a hundred butterflies, held a gauze silk fan tied with a bell, and shook her hairpin with a little powder, and changed back into the second miss of the Su family who had a dusty temperament and a charming appearance.
"Your Highness."
She came from above, a coquettish smile on her face, and called him softly.
As if he had been bewitched by something, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to her in an unruly manner.
Su Fei looked at his hand, bent his eyebrows, put his hand on his palm, and walked down the last step.
"Your Highness doesn't feel ......"
"What do you feel?"
"Just like that, the two of us are like married."
Qi Song looked at her with a ridiculous face, and saw that she was like a little mouse, her whole face was blocked by a fan, only a pair of crescent eyes were exposed, and she snickered "hey, hey, hey", which made his eyes soften a little.
They got into the carriage that went to the house.
On the way, Qi Song handed the brocade box that he had held in his hand for a long time to Su Fei.
"Thou hast worked a great deal for the plague these days, and this is the king's reward."
Su Fei glanced at him, it was really awkward to give a gift so bluntly.
She took the brocade box and opened it, revealing a string of white jade jade beads.
Like it or not, it's secondary.
The main thing is that it looks really familiar.
Su Fei raised his head suspiciously, and happened to see the identical string of beads hanging around Qi Song's neck.
She didn't hesitate, and immediately put the beads in the box around her neck, and then stretched her neck to show off to Qi Song.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, look at it, do I look good wearing this?"
Qi Song, who looked extremely unnatural, only glanced at it hurriedly, hummed an "um" with his nose, and immediately turned his gaze to the side.
He didn't see anything.
And he saw a white flower's neck.
"I'll wear it well, Your Highness."
Su Fei touched the beads on her neck fondly, and whispered, "After all, it's a token of love." ”
The words "love token" drilled into Qi Song's ears.
His hand, which had been resting on his knees, suddenly trembled and his ears turned red.
"This king should really look for it, and see if there is a lock in this world that can lock his mouth. Otherwise, your mouth will get into trouble sooner or later. ”
The carriage slowly stopped outside the house, and Su Fei was helped out of the carriage by the red kite.
Seeing that the door of the house, which is usually extremely cold, there are now a lot of people around.
Qi Song's voice came from behind her.
"Xie Liang, go take a look."
"Yes."
Xie Liang walked into the crowd quickly, and after a while, he returned to Qi Song.
He glanced at Su Fei with an embarrassed face, walked to Qi Song's side and whispered, "Your Highness, there is a ragged person outside the door who said that he wants to meet His Highness." She said...... She is the concubine of Qingguo Gong, Miss Su Jin. ”
Although Xie Liang's voice was very small, it still made Su Fei hear it clearly.
Su Jin is here.
Alone, he ran from Tianguan to Jinyang.
"Your Highness!"
At this moment, Su Jin in the crowd also saw Su Fei and Qi Song standing a few steps away, fighting side by side.
She stumbled out of the crowd and then fell to the ground.
Although he shouted "Your Highness" in his mouth, his eyes were fixed on Su Fei's body.
The eyes like poisonous snakes, as if she was about to fly flat in the next second, pounced on Su Fei's body, and bit her to death.
Su Fei raised the corners of her lips at her.
I underestimated her, but I didn't expect her to come at the right time.
Su Jin, whose hair was unkempt and embarrassed as if he had fled back from the battlefield, took a few steps forward and reached out to grab the hem of Qi Song's clothes.
Qi Song's first reaction was to retreat.
She tilted her head, tears streaming down her dirty face.
"Your Highness, Jin'er finally ...... Finally found His Highness. ”
After speaking, he seemed to lose his strength and fainted.
Qi Song looked at her, and then turned his head to look at Su Fei, who was expressionless.
"Carry her in and let Imperial Doctor Li come and see her."
-
Su Jin, who was lying on the bed, woke up slowly, turned his head sideways, and tears poured out again when he saw Qi Song, but when he looked to the side, he saw Su Fei sitting on the edge of the bed with a smile.
She was stunned, then sat up abruptly from the bed.
"Sister, you make me really easy to find! Why are you doing this to me? Do you know that I almost died on the way to Jinyang, do you know how much suffering I have suffered along the way?! ”
Su Jin cried bitterly and began to accuse Su Fei for no reason.
Su Fei was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and she only felt inexplicable.
"What did I do to you? I came to let you come to Jinyang? ”
"Why did you call me to Jinyang? The person who should have come to Jinyang was me! Not you! My father sent me to give me soup, but you tricked me into the firewood room in your yard and locked me up! If it hadn't been for the fact that I heard the movement, I don't know how many days I would have been there. ”
Su Fei frowned.
Can this person have a degree of nonsense?
She came with paperwork......
Su Fei suddenly remembered that the document was burned by Song Jingan when he entered the city.
Besides, now that the whole city is under martial law, she came in with Song Jing'an's help, how did she get in?
It's Song Jing'an, it's Song Jing'an again.
Only he knew that her paperwork had been burned.
If you can't get meat, you bite someone, this Song Jingan is really a dog.
Su Fei looked at her coldly.
"What about the evidence, Su Jin has to talk about the evidence."
Without waiting for Su Jin to answer, Su Fei stretched out her hand in front of her.
"Where is the paperwork? Was it when he entered the city, was he also burned by Song Jing'an? ”
Hearing Song Jing'an, Qi Song glanced at Su Fei and knew it in his heart.
"Your Highness......"
Su Jin struggled to stand up, bit her lip, and sobbed.
"What the courtiers said is true. Although the father gave the courtiers paperwork, but the courtier's road was really twists and turns, the courtier's carriage was robbed by bandits, in order to save her life, the courtiers handed over all their net worth. I'm afraid of being remembered by thieves along the way...... Afraid of losing his innocence, he made his face look like this with dust. That document must have been left behind by the robbers at the beginning. ”
She lowered her head and sobbed, her body trembling to the ground.
It seems to be waiting for Qi Song to do something.
But she cried like this for a long time, and when she raised her head again, she looked at Qi Song's eyes diverging, as if she was thinking about something, and she didn't look at her at all.
Su Jin clenched her palms, endured the displeasure in her heart, got up and got off the bed, and knelt in front of Qi Song.
"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, then punish your courtiers."
Her eyelids rolled up, revealing the rippling autumn water in her eyes.
Watching Su Jin acting here made Su Fei feel a little sick to his stomach.
"Your Highness, I'll go out first."
After she finished speaking, she walked to the door without raising her head, suddenly stopped, and looked back at Su Jin.
"How much food did you bring with you?"
Su Jin was stunned, stumbling, and couldn't answer.
Su Fei didn't have to wait for this answer.
She smiled, opened the door and walked out.
Su Fei's departure made Su Jin extremely panicked.
She looked up at Qi Song timidly, "Your Highness, the courtiers are really not lying, Your Highness believes that the courtiers are ......"
Qi Song stood up and looked at her in silence for a few seconds.
"Imperial Doctor Li said that your body is weak, and since you are here, you should recuperate here. The banquet is crowded, lest you get infected with the plague, don't go. ”
"Your Highness...... Your Highness! ”
Qi Song walked past Su Jin, Su Jin wanted to catch it, but he pounced.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at the figure of Qi Song leaving with hatred, and gritted her teeth.
Your Highness, I didn't want to do that.
