Chapter 486 Promotion

Song Ruize dismounted first, looked up at the plaque in front of him, noticed something and turned his head, just in time to meet Qin Huiyin's gaze.

"Sir Song." Lady Minghua got off the carriage. "It's all thanks to you and your subordinates. Minghua should thank you. What do you want to eat? Minghua will treat you."

"County Lady, I have been away from the capital for too long, and the Military Department still has many things to deal with, so I am afraid I have no time to eat. Now that I have arrived in the capital, I have asked my subordinates to stay and protect the safety of the county lady until I send you back to the princess's mansion. I have to go first."

"Sir Song, there is no need to rush!" said the maid next to Lady Minghua. "Do you dare to refuse the Lady's grace?"

"I'll take my leave first." Song Ruize bowed and rode away on his horse.

"Song..." County Lady Minghua watched Song Ruize's back disappear, her eyes full of loss.

"County Lady, this Mr. Song really doesn't know how to honor you."

"If it weren't for Lord Song, this county lady would never have come back. He is my benefactor, you are not allowed to say that about him."

"I know I was wrong."

Princess Minghua thought about what had happened along the way, and her eyes became firm: "Let's go back to the princess's mansion now."

"Isn't the county lady going to eat?"

"I originally wanted to have dinner with Master Song as a token of my gratitude to him. Now that he has left, what is the point of staying here?"

The county lord's motorcade quickly left the entrance of the food city.

What she didn't know was that the figure who didn't even look back did not leave the food city, but went in through the back door of the food city.

"Yin Yin..." Song Ruize pushed open the door of the study.

When Qin Huiyin saw him, her eyes were full of surprise: "Didn't you leave?"

"You're here, how could I leave without even saying hello?" Song Ruize touched her hair. "You don't look right, did something happen?"

"Why are you going back to the Military Affairs Division? The position of commander of the East City Military Affairs Division has been taken away by someone else." Qin Huiyin said, "That person also beat up Brother Qingnan and Brother Jinyuan. Now they are both recovering from their injuries!"

"What's going on?"

Zhilan and Sujin retreated.

When they were closing the door, Qin Huiyin reminded them, "Bring some food and drinks over."

After the two maids left, Qin Huiyin told Song Ruize what had happened recently in the Dongcheng Bingmasi.

"He is the prince of the Earl of Anping. He took your place as soon as he arrived and said that he would make you the deputy commander after you came back."

"He came to the Food City to cause trouble?" Song Ruize caught the point alertly. "He told you so many things, is he deliberately pestering you?"

Qin Huiyin didn't want to tell Song Ruize about these things to upset him, she just wanted to tell him about him. However, Song Ruize was too smart, he could analyze it himself without her saying anything.

"Is there anything else?" Song Ruize placed his hand on the back of her hand and patted it gently, his eyes full of comfort. "I'm back, tell me everything."

"Princess Yuanying lost her virginity, and my elder brother went to the palace to ask the emperor to withdraw the imperial decree granting her marriage. The emperor was furious, and my elder brother was thrown into the Dali Temple prison. Prince Zhong wanted him to surrender, and even sent his men to torture him. Although we spent money to ask the jailer to take care of my elder brother, the jailer was unable to prevent my elder brother from being tortured. I don't know what to do."

"I'll take care of it." Song Ruize said, "Just wait for the news, and leave the rest to me."

"You have even lost your position as the commander of the East City Army. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future. Even if you are reinstated, you will not be able to influence the emperor's heart."

"I have a way, believe me. Now you just need to take care of yourself. You never wear such heavy makeup. You look like a completely different person today. I can tell something is wrong at first glance."

"I can't hide anything from you."

Zhilan and Sujin knocked on the door, and after getting permission, they came in with food and drinks.

Song Ruize asked Qin Huiyin to have something to eat with him.

Qin Huiyin felt particularly guilty when she saw the fatigue on Song Ruize's brows.

"According to the original schedule, you should have returned two days later. Now you are two days earlier. Did you catch up with the schedule?"

"I have always felt a little uneasy in my heart. I am worried about the people and things in the capital. I urged Lady Minghua to finish her affairs in advance, and I hurried all the way back."

Song Ruize ate something and left.

"Miss, Master Song is back, we finally have a backbone." Zhilan said, "We don't need to contact King Wei anymore, right? If we do, they will ask for too much, and we will lose at least half of our assets."

"Stop for a while and see if my brother can help. If there is no solution, then we can follow the King of Wei's approach."

Qin Huiyin felt relieved after meeting Song Ruize, and left the food city and returned to Tang's house. She knew that Li Taohua was also at a loss, so she had to accompany her and tell Li Taohua the news about Song Ruize.

"The Song family kid is back," Li Taohua patted her chest. "This brat, I still have to rely on him at the critical moment!"

"Mom, my brother is in a lot of trouble too, so I may not be able to help."

"I know you don't want to put too much pressure on him, and you're afraid that I will blame him if he doesn't rescue your brother. Am I such an unreasonable person?" Li Taohua said, poking her forehead.

As the favorite disciple of the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Tang Yixiao found an excuse to go to the Dali Temple and meet Tang Yichen.

When he returned to the Tang family, Tang Yi laughed and told Tang Yichen the latest news: "That bastard Prince Zhong sent people to beat me again today. This means that as long as my brother doesn't surrender, he will torture him every day until he is willing to marry that vicious princess. I really want to poison him and make that Prince Zhong disappear from this world."

"Have you applied medicine to him?" Tang Dafu asked tremblingly.

"Yes. But if it happens again, Big Brother may not be able to bear it." Tang Yi said with red eyes, "We have to rescue him quickly."

"I will go to the Song residence later to inform Brother Song. I will go find King Wei and rescue my eldest brother as soon as possible!" Qin Huiyin said.

Chen Yu came in from outside and said to Qin Huiyin, "Second Miss, Mr. Song has just been promoted and is now the commander-in-chief of the military department."

Qin Huiyin was stunned: "Promoted?"

"Yes." Chen Yu said, "Mr. Song's subordinates told me to tell you that the eldest son's matter will have a result tomorrow at the latest. You don't have to worry. He won't let the people from Prince Zhong's Mansion torture him again."

"How did this guy get promoted so quickly?" Li Taohua asked, "What did he do?"

"Could it be related to the fact that he escorted Lady Minghua out of the capital?" Tang Yi said with a smile, "Lady Minghua is the daughter of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess and the current emperor are born of the same mother. He was instrumental in escorting Lady Minghua, and the eldest princess only had to say a few good words about him, so he will definitely have a chance to be promoted."
