106

During the days when the mansion was under surveillance, Song Jin stayed in his own yard, neither going out nor seeing guests.

When Meng Shu came to find her, she was still playing with Yu Nu.

It was Qingwu who saw him first.

"Master Meng is here."

Song Jin looked up: "Why are you here? Have you arranged everything?"

Meng Shu nodded and put the person in his arms down.

Xu Mu ran over as soon as his feet touched the ground.

"Sister!"

He threw himself into Song Jin's arms, completely ignoring the fact that he was much taller than her.

Song Jin hugged him with difficulty.

"Mu'er, what happened?"

Meng Shu glanced at him and said, "When I saw him, he was squatting beside the shop opposite the Marquis's mansion."

It saves him the trouble of crying and stinking.

Xu Mu was very grateful and was afraid that Song Jin would ask him something else.

"Sister, I can't go back to the palace now. My Seventh Brother has ordered all of us princes and princesses to be arrested. My Fifth Sister has already escaped. I managed to get out with great difficulty!"

Song Jin was not very clear about what was going on in the palace.

The Marquis's Mansion was also under surveillance.

The news that Xu Mu ran to his place would probably reach Xu Nanheng's ears in no time.

Song Jin's expression changed slightly: "Now is not the time to talk about this, Meng Shu, take him to my backyard!"

As he finished speaking, there was a faint noise coming from outside.

The news spread faster than she expected.

Meng Shu quickly grabbed him and rushed to the backyard.

Almost at the same time, Xu Nanheng and his men broke in.

"Now."

Song Jin's face was covered with a hint of anger as he shouted, "Seventh Prince, this is the Marquis's Mansion!"

Xu Nanheng waved his hand and asked the guards to search the yard.

"I know."

After scanning the entire yard, his eyes slowly fell on her.

"I heard that a thief had taken refuge in the Marquis's mansion, and I was worried about the county lord's safety, so I came here."

"Is that so..."

High-sounding words.

The jade slave on the stone table had been breathing softly since he came in.

But that tiny sound posed no threat at all.

"Meow!"

Yu Nu became very angry after being ignored.

He yelled and rushed over to bite him!

Countless fox slaves jumped out from every corner of the yard, with Heiyao at the head, biting Xu Nanheng's calf.

“Ouch!”

Xu Nanheng cried out in pain and quickly asked people to drive these beasts away.

Song Jin stood aside and watched coldly.

"Seventh Prince, these are all the Marquis's slaves. If they get hurt, I don't think you would want the Marquis to come and settle accounts with you in person, right?"

Threat, this is obviously a threat.

Even though Cui Huaiji was no longer in Sheng'an, his influence was unmatched.

My head seems to be aching again.

The pain of being beaten up by Cui Huaiji is still vivid in my mind.

Xu Nanheng raised his eyelids slightly, seeing that those beetle slaves had nowhere to vent their anger.

"Take these beasts away!"

"yes."

After a while, they were the only two people left in the yard.

Song Jin was unsure of his current attitude.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince led people to search the Quling Marquis' Mansion today with great fanfare. Did you find anything?"

Of course, nothing was found.

There is a secret passage in her backyard where people can hide.

This is something that even Cui Huaiji didn't know.

She had someone dig it out overnight after Cui Huaiji was transferred away.

Meng Fu and his men hid there and would never be discovered.

The guards searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nanheng just nodded and asked them to leave.

"Now."

Xu Nanheng's voice suddenly became gentle.

"I am now in power. You will not suffer if you follow me. It is not too late for you to submit to me now."

Song Jin looked disgusted: "If His Majesty the Seventh Prince wants to say this, I'll excuse me from accompanying you..."

She turned and was about to leave.

The next moment, someone grabbed my wrist with great force.

"You still won't look me in the eye now?"

Xu Nanheng's eyes were almost bloodshot, "Why am I inferior to Cui Huaiji? Why did you give up on me and choose him?!"

He couldn't understand why Song Jin, who clearly loved him so much before, suddenly lost all her love for him overnight.

Song Jin's eyes turned complicated when he looked at him.

In his previous life, he saw her as a tool to ascend to the throne and could be discarded at will. After her rebirth, she realized that she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, but in this life, it was Xu Nanheng who couldn't let go of her.

How much truth and falsehood are mixed in this affection, probably only Xu Nanheng himself knows.

Song Jin shook off his hand abruptly, "Seventh Prince, please respect yourself. We have nothing to do with each other now. After all, men and women should not touch each other..."

"Song Jin!"

That kind of talk again!

Xu Nanheng had heard enough, "I don't want to hear any more of this from you!"

He strode forward and grabbed Song Jin's wrist, his brows furrowed as he rushed into her room angrily.

Bang!

The door slammed shut.

Half of the sunlight outside was blocked, with only a few rays creeping in through the window.

The pink veil fluttered in the wind.

The young lady's delicate body was thrown into the quilt by someone with great force.

Song Jin was horrified: "Xu Nanheng, you dare——"

"What else am I afraid of?"

Xu Nanheng grabbed her struggling hands with his backhand, raised them above his head, and pressed forward.

The man's strong breath gushed out.

Song Jin held his breath for a moment.

My whole body resisted his approach.

This made Xu Nanheng even more depressed.

Everyone on the left and right has rebelled. After today, he will be the emperor of Yu Dynasty, and he will marry Song Jin as the empress of Yu Dynasty. Now it is just a matter of having sex in advance, which is harmless.

Thinking of this, Xu Nanheng put his big hand on her slender waist.

"stop!"

At this moment, Song Jin deeply felt the disparity in power between men and women.

She was weak to begin with, and her strength was not as good as that of an ordinary young lady.

Xu Nanheng did not deliberately restrain his strength, and almost put all the weight of his body on her, leaving her no chance to resist at all.

My wrist was squeezed so hard that it hurt.

The pain and panic made Song Jin unable to control himself.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

"No……"

She was trembling and afraid, and all these mixed emotions made her almost unable to breathe.

Fu Ji...

Belt loosened.

Song Jin felt the collar of his shirt opening loosely on his chest.

She was unwilling to be controlled by others.

She bit his shoulder with all her might, wishing she could bite a piece of flesh off of it!

I will avenge today’s humiliation!

Bang!

The door was suddenly kicked open.

A man came in with a blinding light behind him, interrupting Xu Nanheng who was making a mess.

"who?!"

A big hand pulled the quilt aside and covered her with it.

Xu Nanheng had a look of rage in his eyes, but when he saw who had broken in, his anger subsided immediately.

"...Asayuki?"

Yang Chaoxue watched what happened in the room in silence.

He was shirtless and blocking the people behind him.

This is the room of the Lord of Junning County. It is clear who is behind him.

"What is Brother Nanheng doing in Song Jin's room?" Yang Chaoxue pretended not to know and walked closer. "Who is the person on the bed? Is it Song Jin?"

Xu Nanheng put on his coat and called her.

"Chao Xue, go outside and wait for me for a moment."

"Brother Nanheng, we are not strangers. There is no need to be so polite."

She smiled and didn't listen to Xu Nanheng at all.

It went all the way around behind him.

Looking into the eyes of Song Jin who was crying.

Song Jin wiped away his tears fiercely and turned his face away.

What does Yang Chaoxue want to do when she comes in at this time?

She didn't think Yang Chaoxue would be kind enough to save her.

"It's Song Jin indeed." Yang Chaoxue said softly, turned around and stared at him, and took something out of her sleeve, "Brother Nanheng, I came to see you for something important."

"This is..."

Xu Nanheng carefully identified the green token and found a word "肅" engraved on it.

Yang Chaoxue narrowed her eyes slightly: "It's the token of King Suli!"

Although King Suli is dead, his people recognize him as their master. This token was made by them. Whoever holds the token can command all the people in King Suli's party.

Right now Xu Nanheng is cooperating with Su Liwang's faction, which means that half of his military force is in the hands of Su Liwang's faction.

Let’s not talk about how Yang Chaoxue got this token.

"Chao Xue, what do you mean?"

Yang Chaoxue shook her arms, "Brother Nanheng, do you still remember what you promised me?"

Xu Nanheng's face turned uncomfortable.

The frivolous words of my youth are still ringing in my ears.

If I ever become emperor, Chaoxue will be my only empress.

"Your Highness is now in power, and the world is at your fingertips. I believe you will not forget the promise you made."

She came holding the token of King Suli, apparently intending to use it to threaten him.

Xu Nanheng exhaled a breath of foul air and pretended to be cheerful: "Of course I remember, the queen seat belongs to Chaoxue, it can't be anyone else."

"Then..." Yang Chaoxue's eyes shifted slightly, "What about Song Jin?"

Xu Nanheng took her hand familiarly and pulled her out of the room.

Hearing this, he did not hesitate at all.

"How can she compare to Chao Xue? Don't worry about unimportant people."

The door closed again.

Song Jin slowly adjusted her clothes.

Thinking about what Yang Chaoxue said just now.

It seems that there is an unspeakable connection between her and the people in King Suli's party.

Prince Suli's faction had been lurking for years, so how could they easily let a young lady take control of the power?

Is there some other clue that she has overlooked?

"Young lady..."

Meng Shu knocked on the door.

Song Jin looked up and saw that there was more than one reflection on the door.

"Come in, all of you."

After hearing her words, Qing Wu rushed in first.

He nervously examined her whole body.

"Madam, are you injured?"

The dress she was wearing today was put on by Qing Wu herself, and the knot on her waist was also tied by her.

Qing Wu could tell at a glance that the knot had changed.

"My wife..."

She bit her lower lip tightly and dared not to say anything further.

"I'm fine." Song Jin comforted her and asked her to obey him, "Xu Nanheng can't take advantage of me."

Looking at Xu Mu hiding behind Meng Shu.

Song Jin waved at him, "Mu'er, come here."

"Sister."

Song Jin pulled him to sit down, sorted out the current situation inside and outside the palace, and slowly spoke: "Mu'er, how old are you now?"

"eleven."

He was still a half-grown child, growing up carefree and pampered.

Song Jin didn't know what Xu Mu's ending was in his previous life.

The only memory I have is a vague impression of them.

The palace coup brings only death.

"Sister!" Xu Mu suddenly grabbed her hand tightly, "I don't want to go back!"

Song Jin was stunned. She sensed another meaning in these firm words.

As if afraid that she wouldn't believe him, Xu Mu pulled out a Hetian jade pendant from his lapel and threw it on the table with a bang.

"Sister, I'm serious! I don't want to be the eleventh prince anymore. Life in the palace is not good at all. My brothers and sisters ignore me, and now they are killing each other. I'm not stupid, I just don't like this."

Song Jin took a look at the jade pendant.

It was something the emperor requested for the eleventh prince. It was said to be something to ensure his safety, and it was also a symbol of the eleventh prince's status.

The Hetian jade pendant is crystal clear and moist, which is a rare quality.

Xu Mu threw the jade pendant to show her his determination.

"Mu'er, you are a prince, you can't act on impulse."

Song Jin put the jade pendant back on him.

Xu Mu held her hand and said, "Sister, although I am only eleven years old, as you said, I am a prince, and I know what I am talking about better."

"I know very well what the status of a prince means to me. I may not want the status of a prince. I am tired of the fights between my brothers and sisters. I want to live the life of an ordinary person."

Just like the people of Sheng'an.

Life is warm and loving.

Song Jin He Chuan didn't understand what he meant.

But Xu Mu is a prince after all.

"Mu'er, it's not that I won't help you. You were destined to be a prince since birth. Now that a palace coup is imminent, everyone is nervous. If you can successfully prevent the coup, why don't you talk to His Majesty yourself?"

The emperor today is not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong.

After this experience, I think I will be more open-minded.

With fewer children, the only thing one hopes for is probably that one's children can live a stable life in the second half of their lives.

Xu Mu remained silent and listened to her words.

"I understand. No matter what the outcome of the palace coup is, I will never be a prince again. Sister, I have nowhere to go now. Quling Marquis Mansion is my safest hiding place..."

"Mur'er is relieved."

Song Jin tilted his head and ordered: "Qingwu, sort out Pianyuan and arrange for a few trustworthy people to take care of him."

"yes."

Before leaving, Xu Mu asked again, as if waiting for a positive answer.

"Sister, Lord Hou and you are on the side of the emperor, right?"

Song Jin smiled slightly: "Yes."
