Xu Qinghuan entered the room and immediately saw Song Chengxuan lying on the couch.
This soft couch was for the female family members to rest in. It was a bit small for his stature, which made him look a little aggrieved. It seems that the couches at home will be larger in the future, so that one day Master Song will not have a whim.
Take a nap on this.
When Xu Qinghuan thought about this, he felt something was wrong.
Mr. Song was very vigilant. He would hold a sharp knife while sleeping in the military camp. How could he sleep so soundly in an unfamiliar environment?
Xu Qinghuan cleared his throat slightly, thinking that this would wake Song Chengxuan up. If he wakes up, the next thing will be much easier to handle.
Unexpectedly, after the coughing, the person on the couch remained motionless.
Xu Qinghuan was a little suspicious. He was not drunk today, so he would not be like this. A few months ago, she would have thought that Mr. Song might be too tired due to the expedition, but now she gets to know him better. This Mr. Song is not like
As she knew in her previous life...
It's hard to say that he is pretending to sleep now.
Then let him pretend. Xu Qinghuan thought about it and was about to leave. Just when he turned around, he couldn't bear it.
The window was open. It was already late autumn. If you slept like this, you would really get sick. It would be okay on weekdays. The war was coming to an end. Mr. Song would soon follow Mr. Xue to Beijing. He couldn't let him hold him back.
Remove the mucus from the face.
Xu Qinghuan didn't know when her heart softened. Maybe it was because the marriage had been decided and she subconsciously thought about him.
Feng Chu brought a thin quilt and Xu Qinghuan walked towards him.
If Mr. Song catches her off guard again this time, even if he freezes to death next time, she will not pay attention to him.
The thin quilt slowly covered him, and nothing unexpected happened to her. He still fell asleep peacefully, with Xu Qinghuan sitting on the sofa next to him.
The cool breeze blew in through the window, and she couldn't help but shiver. She was about to get up to close the window, but her waist tightened and she fell into a warm embrace.
The soft thin quilt also wrapped her up.
In panic, she pushed Song Chengxuan, raised her head and met his eyes, and saw a deep light shining in his eyes.
She was about to open her mouth to speak when Xu Qingan's voice came from outside: "Where is the eldest lady?"
"I don't know," Feng Chu said lazily, "Maybe he went to the study room."
"I went to the study to look for it."
"Isn't there any in this house?"
Xu Qinghuan almost felt that Xu Qingan was looking inside through the window.
Her heart was beating so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.
Finally, I heard my brother's footsteps gradually disappearing.
Xu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up when he heard Song Chengxuan's slightly deep voice: "Why did I sleep all night with a teacup in my arms?"
Xu Qinghuan was startled, as the events of that night seemed to appear in front of her eyes. She hit him hard in the stomach before leaving, and now she wanted to escape like this again.
"The emperor should have been suspicious of the royal family members for a long time."
Song Chengxuan's voice came.
"Su Wan is a prince-in-law, and it is unreasonable to cause such a battle. The emperor asked the Prince of Shunyang County to come because he suspected that someone in the royal family was conspiring with Su Wan.
Zongzheng Temple is in the hands of Prince Cheng, and Prince Shunyang and Prince Cheng are also moving closer.
Now the entire royal family is in panic, not knowing where this fire will burn, so Zongzheng Temple is anxious to send the Prince of Shunyang County back for questioning."
Song Chengxuan's few words solved the doubts in Xu Qinghuan's mind.
"As for why Zongzheng Temple learned the news so quickly..."
Xu Qinghuan was listening carefully when she felt the arms around her waist tighten slightly.
"Zongzheng Temple keeps manpower around the clan. As long as there is the slightest sign of trouble, someone will report it to the court. This is the rule set by the late emperor after my father was framed for rebellion."
When the case of King Wei's rebellion was mentioned, Song Chengxuan's voice was slightly cold.
"It seems that Prince Shunyang did know something," Xu Qinghuan said, "It's just that the case has not been investigated, and the secret hidden underneath has not yet been revealed." Therefore, the clue of Prince Shunyang is very important.
Song Chengxuan's words supported Xu Qinghuan's guess.
The death of Prince Shunyang in his previous life was all the result of secret arrangements by that person, and Cui Hao was the one who brought these cases to an end.
"Not only that," Song Chengxuan continued, "Master Huijing led people to walk around outside the military camp and began to help treat the wounded soldiers."
"When did it happen?" Xu Qinghuan asked.
"Just now," Song Chengxuan said, "I only found out when I came here."
But he didn't say anything at that time.
"It's time for me to leave. We have to deal with the deserters today. We can't delay it any longer. The military advisor and the Marquis have already gone to the military camp first."
Xu Qinghuan was thinking about it when Song Chengxuan suddenly whispered in her ear.
Xu Qinghuan's cheeks were slightly red, but she didn't stop him from leaving.
"I'll go too," Xu Qinghuan regretted saying it. It sounded like she was reluctant to be separated from him, "I'll go see Huijing."
"Shh," Song Chengxuan suddenly lowered his voice again, "He's here again."
The sound of Xu Qingan walking was heard again outside.
The room was extremely quiet, so quiet that you could hear each other's heartbeats.
…
Xu Qing'an found it strange that the Xu family's yard in Jiangyin City was not big, and his sister seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with him, but no one could be found.
When he walked around the garden for the fifth time, he finally saw his sister walking over quickly. Her cheeks were slightly red and her eyes were averted.
"Sister, what's wrong with your face?" Xu Qing'an couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay," Xu Qinghuan said, "I was probably bitten by a mosquito."
"I just said," Xu Qing'an showed his arm, "the mosquitoes here not only drink blood but also eat meat. We need to leave early."
"Brother is right," Xu Qinghuan did not refute, "we should return to Beijing as soon as we finish handling the matters here."
Xu Qingan's eyes lit up, and his sister finally figured it out.
The brother and sister walked out of the house and saw Song Chengxuan and Yong Ye waiting there as soon as they arrived outside.
Strangely, Xu Qingan touched his head. There was no one there just now, but suddenly it became lively. Maybe they were all playing tricks with him.
…
Zheng family.
Master Zheng ordered someone to open the door, and Mrs. Zheng rushed out immediately.
Mr. Zheng looked at her: "There is news from the military camp that Brother Zhi and the others will be dealt with today."
Mrs. Zheng's eyes widened, remembering what Song Chengxuan said to her today, which would make her meet Brother Zhi.
"Master," Mrs. Zheng said, "What will happen? What will happen to Brother Zhi? Quick... let's go and see..." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw several government officials standing not far away.
It was someone from the Yamen who took her for questioning.
Mrs. Zheng shook her head desperately. She grabbed Mr. Zheng and said, "Master, as long as you let me see Brother Zhi, I will tell you everything and won't hide anything anymore. Please, after so many years of love, I will tell you everything."
For my sake…”
"Do you really want to go?" Mr. Zheng's voice was low, "Then you go and see what the consequences of the evil we have done over the years will be.
I can’t run away from you, and I can’t run away from me either.”
