The rebirth of the son-in-law

Song Qian just woke up after three days of recuperation. He seemed to be much older, with a few white hairs mixed in with his dark hair.As soon as Song Xu said that the princess came to visit, his cloudy eyes rolled away, and Weiwei asked Song Xu to pull him up with trembling hands.Song Xu helped him up, and took a pillow for him to lean on. Song Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and coughed a few times, as if there was a mouthful of thick phlegm stuck in his throat.

Princess Xianning walked to the side of the bed, looking at Song Qian who was sitting under the quilt and who was much older, feeling a little strange.Song Qian wanted to get up and salute and asked her to excuse him, then he kept quiet, and she kept silent and Song Qian didn't speak, the atmosphere became awkward.

It was still Song Zhi who was smart, she winked at Song Qian, and secretly pointed at Song Xu with the hand under her sleeve, Song Qian suddenly realized, and asked Song Xu to fetch the written book for him.Song Xu understood, nodded and retreated, leaving only Song Qian, Song Zhi and the princess in the room.

Only then did Princess Xianning open her mouth, her expression was a bit wrong: "Does Marquis Song know?"

What she asked was about Song Xu knowing that Song Zhi pretended to be a son-in-law and married his brother.

Song Qian took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "This matter is of great importance, and the veteran dare not reveal it. The only ones in the world who know Zhier's identity are the princess and the veteran." He didn't mention the maid brought by Princess Xianning that day. Knowing that Princess Xianning had dealt with it cleanly, she naturally wouldn't talk too much.

Princess Xianning pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Situ Gong is such a strong man who cut off his wrists, he is really cruel. Seeing those corpses, my palace can't sleep or eat for several days. What's more, Situ Gong can do it to himself and his son. admire."

Hearing this, Song Qian remained silent.He raised his head to look at Princess Xianning, and said solemnly: "The fire was indeed set by the old minister himself." He narrowed his eyes, full of murderous intent, "After the old minister stunned all the people, he set fire in Dongcang. I escaped when the fire started. But later, I don’t know who set fire to the backyard and the study, and blocked the door. When the old minister wanted to escape, the door of the mansion was difficult to open, and finally his leg was broken by the burnt beam. etc. The veteran was rescued, but Meng Xue didn't know whether he was alive or dead."

He showed a ferocious expression, and Song Zhi who was listening to the conversation between the two was a little scared.Princess Xianning saw that he didn't seem to be lying, she frowned, and said in a heavy tone: "So, this is a real murder?"

"Only when the old minister woke up did he realize that so many people had died. The old minister was also involved in setting the fire on fire. Marquis Liang Xiang thought that this matter should not be publicized, so he could only investigate secretly, otherwise extra problems would make things worse. The minister thought it was right, so he only invited Liang today. The Lord of the Township went to court to prevent His Majesty from thoroughly investigating." Song Qian let out a sigh of relief, his face a bit embarrassed, "But judging by his expression, I'm afraid he couldn't stop him. Sigh——"

Princess Xianning and Song Zhi looked at each other without showing any emotion. She smiled slightly and comforted Song Qian: "Don't think too much about Mr. Situ, let's have a good rest. Mr. Situ has served His Majesty for many years, and His Majesty knows in his heart that he will not I have doubts about Mr. Situ." Changing the subject, "I wonder if Mr. Situ has any impression of Zhang Shuque?"

Song Qian thought about it blankly, then shook his head and said, "I don't remember. What's wrong?"

"He is from Tingwei's Mansion, and His Majesty will probably hand over this matter to Tingwei's Mansion. I heard that Zhang Shuque once worshiped under Situ Gong, and he is regarded as Situ Gong's protégé."

Song Zhi's eyelids twitched.On the surface, Princess Xianning reminded Zhang He that he was Song Qian's disciple, so Song Qian could let Zhang He handle it. She meant that the emperor trusted Song Qian and handed it over to the court. The Wei Mansion is to turn big things into small things and give him face.However, Song Zhi also heard a meaning—Princess Xianning didn't seem to believe Song Qian's words, and the mention of Zhang He also meant that she was dissatisfied with Song Qian's concealment.

Song Qian lowered his wrinkled eyelids, thought for a moment, and said: "The old minister should really take a good rest." He said leisurely, "Take this opportunity, the old minister will resign from office."

"Let's resign after the matter of running out of office settles down." Princess Xianning didn't accept his tricks and stopped him from retreating. "Is the male corpse in the mansion Song Fang?"

"What male corpse?" Song Qian raised his head, puzzled, "I don't understand what the princess means."

Princess Xianning was faintly angry, Song Zhi hurriedly reminded: "In the backyard, there is a male corpse buried beyond recognition, isn't it the second brother?"

Song Qian's face changed suddenly, and he scolded angrily: "I have already dealt with your second brother's corpse, how could he be so stupid as to bury it in the backyard? Although the public is unworthy, it has been buried in the ground for safety, and the tiger's poison does not eat its offspring. How could I humiliate him?" Destroying the face of the corpse will make him suffer a terrible death!"

When she heard that it wasn't Song Fang, Princess Xianning turned from anger to shock, and then fell into deep thought.Song Qian had been a Situ for many years, and the officials were intimidating. His furious expression added a bit of horror. Song Zhi's legs went limp in fright, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, trembling.Song Qian's prestige over Song Zhi's body was too great, she almost instinctively aroused fear, and the sound of her knees hitting the ground was so loud that Princess Xianning's heart jumped.

Song Zhi took a breath, feeling that his knees should be blue.With a bitter face, she lowered her head and said with a faint cry: "My child made a slip of the tongue, father forgive me!"

Princess Xianning stood up, looked at Song Qian coldly, and said with a sneer, "Mr. Situ's power has frightened me." She did not look at Song Zhi, and continued, "Mr. Don't bother me anymore."

Song Qian's face froze, and he slowly arched his hands.Watching Princess Xianning go out, he looked at Song Zhi who was still kneeling on the ground, frowned, and waved impatiently: "Hurry up!"

Song Zhi stood up as relieved, backed up to the door, and then turned to go out.Song Qian gritted his teeth and snorted, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Song Zhi, and secretly scolded her for being stupid.

Song Zhi limped when going out, Princess Xianning stood still not far away and waited for her.She had just been taught a lesson, and now she was panicking, she looked up to see Princess Xianning waiting, she simply put Song Qian's anger behind her, and hurried up, looking pitifully at Princess Xianning, quite aggrieved.

Princess Xianning walked ahead, walking slowly, Song Zhi could barely keep up.The two walked outside, and were helped into the car by Bai Liu. Song Zhi felt a pain in his knee when he took a step, and staggered into the car. Princess Xianning quickly caught her, and placed her beside her to sit .

"Princess forgive me, I didn't do it on purpose." Song Zhi apologized nervously.

Princess Xianning remained expressionless and ordered her to return home.Then he warned Song Zhi earnestly: "No matter who you were or what status you were before, you are now the son-in-law of this palace, and your words and deeds represent the face of the royal family. Just now when Duke Situ showed his power, you were so scared that you were scared out of your wits. Here, if you kneel down, you become a father admonishing your daughter, but in the end, I am the king and you are the son-in-law, so if he acts like this in front of me, he is deceiving the king!"

It was only then that Song Zhi realized that she was no longer a simple son of a man, but a captain consort, and Song Qian taught her to be stern, and that was for Princess Xianning.Song Qian changed his ways to compete with Princess Xianning for the initiative, and he might not really have any respect for the clan in his heart.

After she figured it out, she was full of grievances, and it was useless to get angry between Song Qian and Princess Xianning.Song Qian's feelings for his daughter are too indifferent, so he can persuade her with words and use them when necessary. Princess Xianning wants to be better, but it's not much better. Song Qian regards her as Princess Xianning's person, and Princess Xianning treats her As Song Qian's person, she understood her status as a fig leaf, covering the disobedience of the Song family and the sword hidden under the cloth by the emperor and the princess.

"I know I'm wrong." Song Zhi sighed, this kind of life is too sad, isn't God playing her too much?

Princess Xianning's face was still gloomy, she said: "No, I want you to know something clearly." She leaned in front of Song Zhi, pinched her chin, her eyes were full of coldness, "The Song family's bully There are so many things that don't matter. Son-in-law, you have to be careful of the city gate catching fire."

"Princess, I'm just a girl. I don't have any importance to the Song family. I also hope that the city gate will not catch fire. I became the princess' consort because I cherish my life, and I hope to be used by the princess because I cherish my life." Looking at Princess Xianning, Song Zhi bit his lip and spoke his mind nervously.

Princess Xianning let her go and stared at her for a while, her face softened a lot: "Is the son-in-law so disliked by the Song family?"

Song Zhi thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "It's not bad that the Song family is an aristocratic family. The centuries-old foundation has made the Song family a leading family. But even so, courtiers are courtiers, and not all people in the world are aristocratic families. Hearing that the poor family rebelled in the previous dynasty, Kyushu trembled, millions of rebels swarmed, and the Yuzhou family was slaughtered at that time, how tragic is it?" She paused, and said with a wry smile, "If it wasn't for my surname Song, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with the Song family. Mu Xiuyu The forest will be destroyed by the wind, and I cannot help myself because I want to survive."

"Oh?" Princess Xianning thought thoughtfully, "My son-in-law thinks the Song family is in danger?"

"That's right." Song Zhidao, "Actually, the princess will marry my brother, and I can guess what your Majesty means. It's nothing more than the word balance. But my brother suddenly suffered a catastrophe, so I obeyed the orders of my father and the princess in order to survive. The boy marries the princess. I don’t know how long I can keep it a secret, but every day I live is a day.” She smiled shyly, and felt that she was a bit weak in emphasizing that she was greedy for life and afraid of death.

"The virtue of a gentleman is cut off for five generations. I think that if the Song family can't keep a low profile and be loyal, it will inevitably be destroyed. Although the world is not peaceful, the people still have a respectable family in their hearts. The Song family dare not be a minister, it is because of awe. !" What Song Zhi thought in his heart was that the Song family might not be ready to rebel, the majesty of the emperor is still there, and Song Qian would have to kill His Majesty if he really wanted to rebel.Historically, it was only because of Song Fang’s death that the emperor and the princess believed that the Song family was unwilling to accept appeasement, and there were other special reasons. In short, the next day, the Tingwei took people vigorously, and the Song family ransacked the family before they had time to escape. .

Song Zhi's surrender to Princess Xianning was both a little surprised and a little unsurprising.Princess Xianning knows Song Zhi's position in the Song family very well. Song Zhi Fenghan almost died, and there was only one maid by her side. If Song Fang hadn't died, Song Zhi would be useful to them. She was not surprised that there was no obstacle to surrender.Surprisingly, Song Zhi didn't keep talking about the Song family, and she had no sense of belonging to the Song family, as if she was temporarily living in the Song family. If it wasn't because Song Fang's death threatened her life, she might have died somewhere. One day he left the Song family.This had a great impact on the strong family concept of the people at that time. The daughter of the Song family, the head of the aristocratic family, was not sought after like a princess when she went out. Maybe some places would respect Song Zhida more than Princess Xianning.But Song Zhi didn't worship these powers too much, and said that he didn't want to have anything to do with the Song family.

Song Zhi had been waiting for Princess Xianning to speak, but Princess Xianning stared at her blankly, neither saying yes nor no, with a strange expression, as if seeing a rooster laying eggs, with strange eyes.Hmm... kinda scary.

The author has something to say: Princess Xianning's face is still gloomy, she said: "No, I want you to understand something." She leaned in front of Song Zhi, pinched her chin, her eyes were full of coldness, "There are so many things about the Song family deceiving the emperor. This is one of them. Son-in-law, you have to be careful of the city gate being on fire."

Consort's heart: Duke...princess...don't get so close...

In the heart of the press-headed party: Let's have a first kiss! ! !
