After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

Later, Song Yaoxu was the first to let go of Qi Zizhen and said to accompany him to the yard to bask in the sun.

Qi Zizhen nodded, his face returned to his original indifference, and he followed Song Yaoxu to his yard.

In the yard where Song Yaoxu’s room is located, there is a set of stone tables and chairs. This time happens to be bathed in the sun, which is very suitable for sitting and chatting in the sun.

Cui Liang also thoughtfully prepared a pot of tea for them.

Qi Zizhen held the warm porcelain cup, feeling a little unreal in a trance.

When he came back from the eighth rebirth and decided to give up committing suicide again, Qi Zizhen never thought that there would be a day in this life where he would be able to sit calmly under the sun and talk to the prince he always thought was weak and useless.

He took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and looked up at Song Yaoxu's not-so-good complexion, and asked softly, "His Highness's injury...how is it?"

As if he didn't expect Qi Zizhen to ask about his injury, Song Yaoxu paused for a while before replying with a smile: "The doctor said the wound is not deep, it's just a skin trauma, and it will heal soon."

Subconsciously, Qi Zizhen felt that Song Yaoxu was a person who would not lie, so he nodded his head to feel relieved, and asked about this case again.

Song Yaoxu also briefly explained the process to him.

At first, when Song Yaoxu heard from Qi Zizhen that this matter was related to King Guan, he went back and made a little investigation in this direction. At the same time, he learned that Qi Zishan had become Song Jiqi's companion, so he secretly found Qi Zishan.

Qi Zishan immediately told him everything about Song Jiqi's framing of Qi Zizhen in his previous life, and only then did he know what he had misunderstood Qi Zizhen before.

Qi Zizhen was always so active in front of Song Jiqi, not because of his past life that made him closer in this life, but because he really wanted to push himself to death, and at the same time he roughly understood what Qi Zizhen said when he was in a bad mood in prison mean.

Since then, he has been investigating in the direction of Song Jiqi, but before he found anything, a palace lady jumped out and said that she was serious and murderous.

The court lady confessed that she had had an affair with a guard before, and she lured Qi Zizhen to the scene on the night Song Yaoxu was assassinated under the influence of ghosts, so as to set the blame on him.

After that, the maid said that she always regretted doing such a thing for the guard, that she was just blinded for a while, and begged Song Yaoxu's forgiveness bitterly.

Later, Song Yaoxu spared the death penalty of the court lady in a soft heart, but expelled her from the palace.As for the guards identified by the court lady, they will be temporarily put in prison to await their punishment.

After listening to what Song Yaoxu had said about the maids and guards, Qi Zizhen took another sip of tea silently.

Such an unruly court lady was just expelled from the palace, so he could see that Song Yaoxu was still too soft-hearted to be cruel.

If such a person really becomes a king, I'm afraid it will only create a chaotic situation where rebellious officials rule the country and credulous villains.

However, under Song Yaoxu, none of the princes received any special imperial education, they only learned ordinary poetry and etiquette, and rarely involved in political affairs, so they couldn't replace Song Yaoxu to inherit the rule.

At that time, Guan Wang, as the first emperor's son, can rely on the "History Book" that was regarded as the national treasure by the Ling Dynasty to drive Song Yaoxu from the throne in a bright and righteous way, and replace him as the king.

Qi Zizhen rubbed the teacup lightly, touching some warmth and coldness with his fingertips, his eyes turned with thoughts.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Song Yaoxu felt a little guilty for some reason, holding the teacup and said casually, "According to what Xiaoshan said, this incident probably has something to do with Song Jiqi, but..."

He paused, as if hesitating whether to continue or not.

Qi Zizhen raised his eyes to look at him, and said in a neutral tone: "Your Highness wants to talk about Guan Wang."

There was no emotion in his words. Song Yaoxu couldn't tell what point of view he was inclined to. After touching his nose, he opened his mouth: "Although Song Jiqi is the son of the emperor's uncle, he has a stubborn temper. I didn't expect him to exist. Such treasonous intentions. But... I don't think this means that the emperor also has the same thoughts, maybe... maybe it's just that Song Jiqi himself is too bold?"

After all, Song Yaoxu still has trust in Guan Wangcun.

After all, Song Yaoxu got along more with Guan Wang than his father, Emperor Hongchu. The friendship cultivated from childhood to adulthood is not so simple and can be easily overthrown.

What's more, Song Yaoxu himself has that indecisive temperament.

After hearing his words, Qi Zizhen put the teacup on the table calmly and looked straight at Song Yaoxu: "But do you really think, Your Highness, that a father will not know what his son is doing?"

"This..." Song Yaoxu hesitated, as if he still wanted to find an excuse.

Qi Zizhen didn't give him a chance to escape: "Let's put it this way, if the tenth prince intends to take your crown prince, do you think your father won't be able to find out?"

A bit of struggle flashed in Song Yaoxu's eyes: "But Xiaoshi won't do that..."

"Then how do you know he can't?" Qi Zizhen continued to ask, "You're not him, how do you know what's going on in his heart?"

"For example, if you're not me, how would you know if my relationship with Song Jiqi was sincere?"

Song Yaoxu couldn't refute.

The misunderstanding of Qi Zizhen before was also a thorn in his heart recently.

Seeing that he was silent, Qi Zizhen knew that he couldn't think of anything to refute, but he still couldn't completely get out of his usual thinking.

He knew that Song Yaoxu had been taken care of by King Guan for 22 years and had been instilled with gentle upbringing for 22 years. It was really difficult to change at will.

But now there is not much time left for him to change.

Qi Zizhen rubbed the wine glass lightly, with a calm expression: "Then let me ask Your Highness again, why did you drink so much wine that night? I remember that you seemed to have said in the National Master Tower that you were confident about drinking. , is this your grasp?"

When asked about this, Song Yaoxu shrank his hand slightly, and after a while of silence he said: "It was indeed the emperor who said that he saw that I was in a bad mood that night and brought me a few jugs of wine..."

His voice became weaker, and he sounded a little shaken.

"Too rigid will break, too soft will fail." Qi Zizhen put down the teacup in his hand, "Your Highness, Caomin boldly asserts that if you continue like this, sooner or later you will become a good-for-nothing prince or even a puppet emperor. Do you really want to do that?"

The bottom of his eyes was as cold as frost, looking straight at Song Yaoxu, like a sharp ice pick, hard to ignore.

He didn't give Song Yaoxu any more time to react, he simply stood up and looked at him indifferently: "The grass man's wet hair is already dry, so I won't hinder His Highness's eyes here, and I will take my leave first."

After Qi Zizhen finished speaking, he turned around and left, his green clothes fluttering in the breeze, blending in the spring atmosphere around him, yet showing a bit of ruthless determination for no reason.

He knew what he said earlier could even be considered disrespectful, but he believed that only in this way could Song Yaoxu listen to him and make him reflect.

Qi Zizhen walked on the way back to the room without stopping, just like his thoughts were surging at the moment.

He lowered his eyelashes halfway, looking at his fingertips, he could almost feel the soft temperature when he stayed on Song Yaoxu's body before.

The fingertips with faint scars curled up slightly, but the emotion in his eyes became firmer——

The person Qi Zizhen likes must not be a weak and incompetent coward.

The author has something to say: the first thing to do after getting out of the knot: Teach His Royal Highness the Prince

Song Yaoxu: ...?
