I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Song Shiqiu was looking at the letter sent back by Bai He. Seeing that Lin Jin said in the letter that he was on his way back to the capital, he wondered whether he should continue to write to Lin Jin. However, if he rode a horse all the way from Lingnan to the capital, it would take at most half a month to return.

He thought about it and decided to put the letter away and put it in the cabinet.

"Sir, Miss Cui Jiu requests to see you." A voice came from outside the study.

Song Shiqiu put the letter away: "Let her in."

When Cui Xian came in and saw Song Shiqiu, she bowed first: "Cui Jiu greets you, sir."

"Yeah." Song Shiqiu nodded and looked at Cui Xian, "Why are you looking for my true identity?"

Although Cui Xian has been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion for some time, this is the first time she has come to see him.

"Prime Minister, do you really think that Madam Xu's resurrection is fake?" Cui Xian's eyes flashed with nervousness, and she tightened the handkerchief in her hand again and again, "Although there is indeed something in the coffin..."

"Miss Cui Jiu." Song Shiqiu interrupted her before she could finish. "Although Daxia Temple has many visitors, it is not a place for playing tricks. As a descendant of the Qinghe Cui family, you should understand this principle even more."

"Misfortune comes from the mouth. Miss Cui Jiu should think carefully."

Cui Xian was stunned, stammering and not daring to continue speaking. She struggled for a moment and gritted her teeth, "Since you know the truth, why do you want to confuse right and wrong? Even so, their resurrection is true!"

Song Shiqiu had a cold face, and his eyes were like ice that had not melted for a thousand years, making people feel cold all over. "Miss Cui Jiu is suffering from hysteria. How can a dead person be resurrected? She just looks like an old friend. If Miss Cui Jiu is missing her old friend and is mistaken, I understand, but please don't say such nonsense again. Otherwise, I can only ask the imperial physician to treat Miss Cui Jiu to see if she is crazy."

Cui Xian couldn't help but take a step back, but even though her limbs were cold and trembling, she still calmed herself down and knelt down gently: "My lord, Cui Jiu knows that the theory of ghosts and gods will shake the foundation of Daxia, but, but those are my parents."

She looked at Song Shiqiu with tears in her eyes: "How could I not recognize my parents? The entire Cui family watched my parents being buried. If I cannot acknowledge my parents' identities today, what will happen to them in the future... Sir, please..."

She is a daughter. Since her parents passed away, all the inheritance was taken back by the clan, and she became an orphan with no one to rely on.

"Since you know that the talk of ghosts and gods will shake the foundation of Daxia, how can I help you?" Song Shiqiu looked at the list of people who were known to have come back to life. Cui Xian's parents were on the list. It was different from Fang Yuzhu's initial guess that they were all women. Instead, all the people who died in the accident that year have come back to life, but most of them are women.

"My Lord Prime Minister, is this what will happen to me and my parents? They are obviously my parents!" Cui Xian covered her face and cried. The Cui family simply did not admit that her parents were not dead. They believed that her parents had turned into two piles of bones. If she continued to insist, her parents would be regarded as Turkic spies.

"You also lost your parents, so you should understand my feelings better, right?" Cui Xian was not afraid that her words might make Song Shiqiu kill her in anger. She looked straight into his eyes and said, "Sir, please help me, help my parents. Even if I have to work like a cow or a horse for you, or be your slave for the rest of my life, Cui Jiu is willing to do that."

Song Shiqiu listened to her words with a terrifyingly calm expression: "Since you can't give up the reputation and status of the Qinghe Cui family, how can you really be willing to work like a cow or a horse, or be a slave or a maid."

Cui Xian stopped crying and stared at Song Shiqiu blankly: "Prime Minister?"

"Miss Cui Jiu, your crying and sobbing is indeed touching, but your words and actions are inconsistent." Song Shiqiu seemed to have seen through all her disguises. "Whether the Cui family recognizes it or not, the court will settle your parents well, and they will not end up with nowhere to go as you said."

"So why did you perform this drama today?" He paused, "In other words, why did you first deceive the princess and then win my wife's pity and live in the Prime Minister's Mansion? If I am not mistaken, you should have known about your parents' resurrection a long time ago, and you came to the capital for this reason."

Cui Xian twisted her handkerchief unconsciously: "Sir, I don't understand what you are talking about. The princess and I have known each other for many years. She knows my temper very well. How could I deceive her?"

"It is precisely because she has known you for many years that she is not on guard against you. It just so happens that my wife also knows the princess's temperament very well, so she lets you live in the Prime Minister's Mansion." Song Shiqiu's lips straightened, "If I admit today that your parents are back from the dead, I'm afraid rumors will spread in the capital tomorrow."

"Miss Cui Jiu, why don't you tell me what your real purpose is. Are you unwilling to give up the Qinghe Cui Clan, or do you want to destroy the Qinghe Cui Clan?"

"If you can't tell, Miss Cui Jiu will have to go to the Dali Temple."

Cui Xian took a deep breath: "When did you find out?"

"When you were singing that play just now." Song Shiqiu had never thought that Cui Xian had anything to do with this matter. "As a descendant of a famous family, you came to my study and lost your manners like this. Miss Cui Jiu might think I am a fool."

He has met so many people, how could Cui Xian deceive him?

If this play was performed to Fang Yuzhu today, it might be useful, but: "Miss Cui Jiu, the only reason you have been able to hide your true intentions for so long is because you are a good friend of the princess. If the princess knew what happened today, I wonder if it would chill her heart."

"The person who is promoting the theory of ghosts and gods bringing the dead back to life must be you, Miss Cui Jiu." Cui Xian may not be the first person to learn about the resurrection of the dead, but she definitely learned about it earlier than many people.

"I, I..." Cui Xian was speechless. It was freezing cold outside, but she was still sweating. She thought it might be because the brazier in the study was burning too strongly.

"Miss Cui Jiu, you are not afraid now." Song Shiqiu saw her panic and issued an ultimatum: "Miss Cui Jiu, I still allow you to be here. You should know who it is for. If Miss Cui Jiu really can't say it here, then..."

"Prime Minister!" Cui Xian stopped him from finishing his words, panting as if she was under great pressure. "I just hate the Cui family for swallowing up the inheritance left to me by my parents after they died, and for bullying me in every way. People say that the Cui family of Qinghe is a century-old family with strict family traditions, but who knows about the Cui family's unknown dirty deeds?"

"I just want to seek justice for myself! What have I done wrong?" Cui Xian gritted her teeth. The bullying she had suffered in the Cui family over the past few years was not fake. "God has eyes. Let my parents come back to life. Only then can I speak out my grievances."

"How come I don't know what will happen after the resurrection is confirmed? But, but I just want to get back my parents and the grievances I have suffered in the past few years. Could it be that all the suffering I have endured in the past few years was in vain?" Cui Xian tore the handkerchief in her hand, "What have I done wrong?"

"You did something that disregarded the overall situation for personal grudges, and you are not wrong? If you don't know what impact this incident will have on Daxia, you can still explain it as your short-sightedness and being taken advantage of by others. But you know the consequences and still do this, which is breaking the law knowingly. More seriously, I suspect that you intend to deceive people and usurp the throne!" Song Shiqiu stood up and walked in front of Cui Xian, looking down at her, "I will not allow anyone with ulterior motives to exist in Daxia."
