Chapter 75: Rebellion
Early the next morning, Song Huaixi was awakened by a loud noise.
Sitting on the bed, Song Huaixi listened to the noise outside with some confusion.
I looked around and there was no one in the room.
I tried to shout twice: "Chunhua, Chaolu!"
No one answered. I looked out the window and saw that the sun was already high in the sky. Normally Chunhua and Chaolu would be waiting in the house at this time.
Today, something is unusual.
Song Huaixi got up from the bed, walked to the door and was about to open it when the door opened right in front of him.
The spring sunshine pours down.
Song Huaixi took a half step back and saw the person in front of him clearly after his eyes adjusted to the light.
"Zhao Fangye..."
My nose suddenly felt sore and tears fell without warning.
Song Huaixi seemed a little unconvinced. He rubbed his eyes as he looked at the familiar tall figure in front of him.
I thought I was still in a dream: "Zhao Fangye...you...you are back?..."
Zhao Fangye looked down at his tearful eyes and reached out to gently wipe away his tears.
The gentle voice entered Song Huaixi's ears and brought a sense of reality: "Well, I'm back. Huaixi."
"Zhao Fangye!"
It’s not a dream! He is really back!
Song Huaixi suddenly threw herself into his arms, her voice choked with sobs.
I have been feeling worried, helpless and scared these days. It feels like I finally have a way to vent.
Song Huaixi cried in his arms, and her voice came out intermittently. Zhao Fangye’s heart was about to be broken by tears: “Um... Zhao Fangye... you are back... oooh... I am so scared..."
"I'm back, Huaixi. I'm sorry I came back late." Zhao Fangye hugged Song Huaixi and brought him into the house.
Looking at the person in my arms crying and choking, gasping for breath. A pair of eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts.
Zhao Fangye felt a burning pain in his heart.
That night, he pressed Song Huaixi under him and asked him whether he wanted to be a vase or a princess. He had already anticipated the dangers Song Huaixi would face if she stayed with him.
But he was so despicable, even though he knew what would happen if he got entangled with Song Huaixi. Facing those innocent eyes that only looked at him, he still couldn't force himself to stay away, and instead chose to drag him into the abyss.
If it weren't for me, the Song family wouldn't have suffered such an unexpected disaster. Song Huaixi didn't have to go through all this and remained an innocent boy.
"Be good, don't cry."
Zhao Fangye placed him on the couch. She squatted down in front of him again, held his hand and whispered comforting words. A pair of eyes pretending to be distressed.
After a while, Song Huaixi finally vented all the grievances he had suffered in the past few days.
She stopped crying and sobbed, "Zhao Fangye...my parents and brother...can you bring them out...there is so much blood in there...it's so scary..."
"Okay." Zhao Fangye didn't hesitate at all, but then he said: "I will bring your parents and your brother out. But you have to promise me one thing."
Zhao Fangye's sharp eyebrows were filled with fatigue, and his gaze fell on the red corners of his eyes. She reached out and touched his face reluctantly: "Huai Xi, can you go to the northwest and wait for me first?"
"northwest?"
Song Huaixi was stunned when he heard his parents say that the northwest was very far away.
Holding Zhao Fangye's hand, he was puzzled and anxious: "Why, I don't want to leave. I want to be with you..."
The Song family was charged with treason and the Ministry of Justice would not let them go so easily. What's more, this is a conspiracy against the Song family.
The matter is settled, there is no room for maneuver. What's more, their original purpose was to use Song Zigen to throw dirty water on him. The Song family is just a pawn for them to deal with Zhao Fangye.
Zhao Fangye's desire to save the Song family undoubtedly confirmed his intention to rebel.
This was undoubtedly a declaration of war on the imperial court.
Before that, he had to settle Song Huaixi down. Song Huaixi is his weakness and constraint. Only if Song Huaixi is safe will Zhao Fangye have no worries.
"Huai Xi, listen to me."
Zhao Fangye saw that he was so anxious that he was about to cry again. She stood up and sat beside him to comfort him.
"The northwest is my fiefdom. Only when you are safe can I save your parents and brother without any worries. Be obedient, go first, and I will find you as soon as I bring them out."
Seeing his serious expression, Song Huaixi knew that there was no room for negotiation on this matter, and tears began to roll down her eyes again.
But he just met Zhao Fangye.
Why do we have to separate again?
Holding Zhao Fangye's waist tightly and resting her head on his chest, Song Huaixi's voice was filled with deep attachment: "Should I really leave? But you just came back... I don't want to... leave..."
Reaching out to hold up his lowered face, Zhao Fangye kissed his red and swollen eyelids.
Zhao Fangye was also reluctant in his heart: "Be obedient, your safety is more important than anything else. Don't cry Huaixi, I promise you only this time, we will never be separated again."
Since there are so many things standing in their way, he will flatten them all. His eyes should not be stained by the filth of this world.
This was his mistake. He should have been alert when people from the prince's party frequently appeared near his study. Unexpectedly, instead of framing himself, he caused Minister Song to suffer an unexpected disaster.
"Really? Don't lie to me."
Song Huaixi raised his eyes, and his dark eyes reflected the outline of Zhao Fangye.
Although Zhao Fangye looked a little tired, his eyes were still gentle: "Huai Xi, when have I ever lied to you?"
Hearing this, I still feel sad. But Song Huaixi knew that Zhao Fangye must be doing this for his own good.
He realized that he knew nothing and could not do anything by staying here. Zhao Fangye must be doing this for his own good. Thinking of this, Song Huaixi wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve.
He couldn't cry. Daddy said crying was a sign of weakness and he had to be strong.
Song Huaixi lowered her head and leaned back into Zhao Fangye's arms: "Okay, I'll be obedient. When should I leave? Is the northwest very far?"
Kissing the top of his head, Zhao Fangye felt that he was so well behaved that it made people feel distressed: "Let's go today. The sooner you leave, the sooner I can save the Song family. The northwest is far away, and you must be patient and tired from the journey."
"today......"
Song Huaixi didn't expect time to be so short. She leaned in his arms and clutched his clothes tightly, her fingertips turning white.
Trying hard not to cry.
After a long time, Song Huaixi raised his head. There were still tears in her eyes: "I understand, I will be obedient. Zhao Fangye, I will wait for you."
Zhao Fangye's light-colored eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and kissed his lips. The longing after being apart for many days and the reluctance to be apart again were silenced in a kiss.
But they had no time to snuggle together. Every day they delayed would put the Song family in danger.
Chunhua and Chaolu packed all the things they would need and went into the house to report.
Zhao Fangye was feeding Song Huaixi.
There was a faint sadness between the two of them. Song Huaixi lowered his head and ate the porridge Zhao Fangye fed him without saying a word. The tear marks on her face were not yet dry, and they were glistening on her fair face.
"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."
"Well, call Adjutant Sun in."
Everything was ready, and Zhao Fangye took Song Huaixi out.
When passing by the courtyard gate, the little wolf came up and wagged its tail, circling around Song Huaixi's feet. Seeing it, Song Huaixi's depressed mood became a little better.
He bent down, picked up the little wolf, and said to Zhao Fangye: "Zhao Fangye, can I take the little wolf with me?"
Chunhua and Chaolu, who were following behind him, wanted to say something but stopped themselves. It might be troublesome to travel with a dog.
Song Huaixi's wet eyes were full of pleading, and Zhao Fangye felt softened. Nodding: "As you wish, take it with you."
After sending Song Huaixi to the carriage and watching him go away, Zhao Fangye immediately summoned his personal troops.
There was a cold look in Zhao Fangye's eyes, since the emperor and the prince's party were worried day and night that he would rebel. Then he might as well commit treason! It’s time for the world to change its master!
