The rebirth of the son-in-law

When Song Zhi woke up, Princess Xianning was not in the guest house, not even Dou Tu, only Qing Nu was with her.She looked at the surrounding environment, staring at the bamboo slips spread beside the bed in a daze, it seemed that someone left in a hurry last night, and she didn't even have time to put away the bamboo slips.She hoarsely wanted to call Qing Nu, but she still lost her voice when she spoke, so she could only knock on the short table beside the bed, trying to attract Qing Nu's attention.

Qing Nu turned around and found that she was awake, walked over and said with a smile: "Miss is awake? Do you want some water?" She went back to the table, took the teacup and poured water, walked back to help Song Zhi up, and fed the teacup to Song Zhi. To the lips, "Drinking some water will make you feel better."

Song Zhi took the cup and drank the warm water, and his throat felt much more comfortable.She handed the cup to Qing Nu, coughed a few times, and asked after a while: "Where did Ming Zhi and Mr. Dou go?"

"Last night, Qu Zuojian was summoned by the king overnight to enter the palace, and he hasn't come back yet. Mr. Dou said that there are friends in Changsha, and he wants to see if he can find someone. Oh, Qu Zuojian told the slave before leaving, If the lady can't find him, he will be worried, so I will tell you that he will find time to come back to explain to you at noon." Qing Nu turned around to put the cup, and said casually.

Song Zhi felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.She is not a child at such an age, and she will not be clinging to Princess Xianning all day, so why does she ask Princess Xianning to turn around her all the time?Princess Xianning was overwhelmed, so she wasn't worried.

"Hey, the left supervisor is here." Qing Nu heard the footsteps outside, and said to himself while going to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, it turned out to be Princess Xianning, and Dou Tu, who was nowhere to be seen in the morning. The two were discussing something solemnly. When Princess Xianning came in, she happened to meet Song Zhi's gaze. The princess stopped talking and forgot what to say for a moment.

"When did you wake up?" After only a moment's pause, Princess Xianning quickly came to her senses, went to sit down in front of Song Zhi, and asked with a smile.

"Just woke up." Song Zhi said, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Princess Xianning leaned over to tuck her in the quilt. Hearing this, she paused, looked up at her, and sighed, "Something happened in the palace. A palace official was killed on the bell tower, and the big bell was painted over. Blood, people from Xuan Ting Wei's mansion entered the palace last night, and I was among them. In the morning political and court meetings, it is too often said that the big bell is the most important weapon of the country, and it is not known if it is painted with blood. Someone wants to ruin Changsha's national fortune. The prime minister was impeached, saying that the crime of heaven is unknown, and the prime minister must be removed in order to appease the anger of heaven."

Song Zhi pondered for a while, and after much thought, he said slowly: "The Prime Minister was ordered by the court. I am afraid that the purpose of dismissing the Prime Minister is to be dissatisfied with the court behind the scenes. Do all the officials of the Changsha Kingdom think that this is what the court did?"

Seeing that they were about to say something secret, Qing Nu withdrew early and closed the door behind him.Dou Tu sat on the seat at the end of the bed, and lazily said: "That's not the case. They are just dissatisfied with the imperial court. It may not be a bad thing to take advantage of this opportunity to vent. If they hold back, I am afraid that something big is brewing. "

"You don't have to worry about this, just take a good rest." Princess Xianning bent her lips, took out a pack of candied fruit from her sleeve, and handed it to her, "I saw this on the street. If it’s bitter, take one. Ah Zhi, you need to take care of your body earlier.”

"Yeah." Song Zhi's heart warmed up, and he felt that Princess Xianning was treating her better and better, occasionally doing some considerate things for her, which was really heart-warming.

"Thank you."

Princess Xianning smiled slightly and said, "I want to tell you something. Zhang Shuque told me that he once bid farewell to Song Fang, and before leaving, he gave Song Fang three five-plant coins, so he has a little relationship with Song Fang. He knows that you are Song Fang's younger sister, so he wants to ask you if Song Fang has met you."

"How did the princess answer him?" Song Zhi didn't know at this time that Wuliu had found a reason to make "Song Fang" disappear, and naturally he didn't know why Zhang He suddenly mentioned Song Fang.

"I said that there is no Song Zhi from the Song family in the world, only A Zhi from my Xianning Princess Mansion. You have nothing to do with Song Fang. Since I divorced Song Fang, it has nothing to do with me whether Song Fang is dead or alive." Xianning The princess looked at her calmly, and said frankly, "As for you, it has nothing to do with Song Fang, you are Song Zhi, you are Song Zhi."

Song Zhi chewed Princess Xianning's last words several times in his heart, and tasted something unusual.In fact, she doesn't really care whether she is Song Fang or Song Zhi. She is the one who enters the princess mansion, she is the one who marries the princess, she is the one who Hughes the princess, and she is the one who accompanies the princess to Changsha. Put it under the skin.But Princess Xianning's affirmation and openness separated her from Song Fang completely, and she was a little moved.

It's not that Princess Xianning's protection made her secretly fall in love, but the feeling of being purely affirmed by others is like discovering a tomb that has never been stolen. Once opened, it is full of rare treasures. It is an irrepressible joy and sense of accomplishment. .

"Princess, you are so kind." Song Zhi's pale lips moved slightly, and said softly.

"Tsk, why don't you agree with me if you're so nice?" Only someone like Dou Tu who doesn't know how to read people's eyes would spoil the scenery at this time.

Song Zhibai glanced at him, a little flirtatious: "It's not promised to you, why are you so active?"

"Isn't this the heart of an adult's beauty?" Dou Tu said with a smile.

"Okay." Princess Xianning interrupted their joke, stood up and said, "I still have to investigate the case, you should rest well. By the way, Yu Du and the others will come to Linxiang City tonight, I will let Ming An come over to protect you , I don’t worry if you don’t have anyone by your side.”

"Ming An should protect the princess." Song Zhi frowned, "I am in the guest house, no one will do me any harm."

"No and no!" Dou Tu shook his head, counting his fingers like a magic stick, "The princess is not worried about the gentleman on the beam, but only worried about someone who is full of love and attracts bees and butterflies."

Song Zhi's face turned red, she remembered the vague appearance of King Changsha, and for some reason, she always felt that Dou Tu was talking about King Changsha, and maybe she was just checking in.Last time in Jiangling, he joked with Dou Tu that the princess had rotten peach blossoms and needed her to escort her. This time, Dou Tu joked that An was here to protect her from rotten peach blossoms.

"Let's go." Princess Xianning glanced at the triumphant Dou Tu, and said with a cold smile, "You'd better investigate thoroughly within three days, what is the rumor about King Changsha, or I will smash your jugs. "

Dou Tu choked, the corners of his mouth twitched, he cupped his hands, and walked away in despair.When Princess Xianning was about to leave, Song Zhi stopped her.

"What's wrong?" Princess Xianning tilted her head to look at her.

"Princess—" Song Zhi hesitated to speak.

"Ok?"

Song Zhi lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Is Zhang Shuque investigating the case with you?"

"Yes."

She raised her head, her lips froze into a smile, and said to Princess Xianning with an unnatural expression: "Does the princess think that Zhang Shuque is useful? The princess still wants to use him as a knife...but he is not easy to control. If The princess needs someone to do what you can't do, so please let me do it." Her eyes were sincere and earnest.

Princess Xianning was taken aback for a moment, wondering if she had misunderstood Song Zhi somewhere, her desire to use Zhang He was not that strong.She comforted her a few words, but before she could think clearly when she went outside, she ran into Zhang He who had returned from the palace on the street. Was it too close to you?"

Zhang He was stunned, he didn't expect Princess Xianning to say such a sentence suddenly.His face was flushed red, he waved his hands and said: "Why did Mingzhi say that, He and Mingzhi have only been together for less than half a day, how can they talk about getting close?"

Princess Xianning saw that what he said was clear, and there was still a little embarrassment on her face, she couldn't help shaking her head, and said with a smile: "Since we are colleagues, we should get closer. You go back to the mansion first, I will go to the city to ask the palace man Does anyone know?"

Looking at the back of her leaving, Zhang He murmured to himself in a daze: "Is she looking at me? It shouldn't be. Doesn't she like Song Fang? Could it be that I was wrong?" No matter how you look at it, Princess Xianning would not like him, so Zhang He had no choice but to return home full of doubts, wondering if Princess Xianning had any other intentions—could it be implying how close he could be to her?

After Princess Xianning left, Dou Tu, who had already left, returned to Song Zhi's room. When the two sat opposite each other, Dou Tu stopped laughing and looked at her seriously, with sharp eyes.

Song Zhi didn't seem to see his hostility, and he frowned, pursed his lips, and said softly, "What's wrong?"

Dou Tu looked at her indifferently, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "You're blaming her." This was an affirmative tone.

"No." Song Zhi categorically denied it, and sneered, "How dare I blame her?"

"Then why did you test her?" Dou Tu said coldly, "You acted on her and concealed your dissatisfaction and resentment from her. Is this your enlightenment? You let me down so much."

"Why should I test her?" Song Zhi sneered, "Didn't you and her teach me this? If you can't even do it yourself, what are you talking about being cruel to the enemy?"

Dou Tu was silent.He pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, seemingly unable to argue: "She is sincere to you."

"I'm as sincere as she is."

"I am the one who forced you to this point," Dou Tu frowned, "You are not punishing me, nor are you punishing her, you are putting yourself in a desperate situation."

Song Zhi smiled, his eyes filled with mist, as if a layer of ice had frozen on the surface of the water.

"I let myself live." Her tone was flat, and she couldn't hear any emotions. "The best way for me to survive is to turn myself into a person with nothing and live by her. I want to be what she needs people, rather than being the ones she pities."

"You're angry with me." Dou Tu sighed, "Can you really go on like this forever? Becoming what she least expects is also the last thing you can do."
