Chapter 103: I Can't Repay My Life-Saving Favor

Sister Lu Xinran stood under the eaves for nearly half an hour before they saw Song Jun leave Wenhua Hall with a pale face.

But when he left, he did not forget to look in their direction.

Lu Xinran always felt that there was something else behind her look, but he walked so fast that he only had time to see the words "Go back and think about where you went wrong."

The emperor just let him go like that?

She was a little surprised, but then she remembered that Song Junhe was the eldest son, and normal people would have extra feelings for their first child.

Moreover, if there is a legitimate heir, the eldest son will be the heir apparent; if there is no legitimate heir, the eldest son will be the heir apparent.

In theory, as long as Song Junhe didn't do anything stupid, the throne should be his.

While they were thinking in a mess, Eunuch Fu came over and summoned them to the palace for an audience.

Lu Xinlan wanted to advise her to observe her heart and mind as soon as she entered the room, and not to say or think anything, but this sister had her own ideas and loved to complain. She was good at pretending to obey but actually disobeying others, so he let it go.

Anyway, the emperor didn't dare to kill her, nor did he want to imprison her, and that was enough.

Inside the hall, the emperor was not in a very good mood.

Although the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that fell from the sky helped him solve his urgent problem, compared with the silver, he was more unwilling to see his sons grow up and have ambitions that they shouldn't have.

He was thinking, and hadn't decided whether to test the princes through Lu Xinran.

The familiar chaotic voices in his ears flooded into his ears. He instantly gathered his thoughts and was about to show the majestic aura of a superior with his hands held high when the words he had just said to Song Junhe came into his ears.

[I can tolerate you brothers having ambitions, but I will pass down the throne. For the sake of the Song family, I will choose a capable and resourceful prince to succeed me.]

[But you are wrong because I am not old yet, and I am not going to die soon. What do you want to do by colluding with the court officials now? ]

[Do you want to challenge me and force me to abdicate and give the throne to you? ]

[I can let this matter go, but you need to think carefully about where you went wrong! ]

[If you continue to do stupid things, don't blame me for sending you to the northwest. Don't even think about returning to the capital in your lifetime.]

The emperor wanted to deliberately avoid the two sisters and said: "..."

So, was this inner voice reminding him how stupid his actions had just been?

Lu Xinran secretly read this passage and was secretly surprised and felt a little strange.

[Stupid thing? What stupid thing? Did the emperor know that Song Junhe and Zhao Jingtian were having an affair?]

[You should know. If an emperor doesn't have his own information channel, he will be laughed at.]

[Song Junhe sent people to kill us yesterday. The two horses went crazy in the city, and Song Junyan led people to chase us and rescue us. The emperor doesn't care about small people like us, but Song Junyan will definitely care about us.]

[So if we can find out that Song Junhe sent people to kill us, we can also find out the little secrets between Zhao Jingtian and him. ]

Lu Xinran was very considerate and closed the loop on this matter in his mind!

My own imagination makes things seem reasonable.

[As expected, the eldest son is the one most likely to be given high hopes, and the emperor is no exception. Knowing that Song Junhe and Zhao Jingtian had bribed court officials and formed cliques, the emperor simply told him to go back and reflect on his actions.]

emperor:"……"

He just felt that the situation was under control.

Moreover, it is normal for a prince to have ambitions for the throne.

It seems that when he was only a teenager, he, under the planning of his mother, gradually defeated a group of royal brothers and finally sat on the throne.

He coughed lightly, not wanting to listen to any more of these chaotic sighs. His lips moved but he couldn't think of what to say.

She ordered them to be brought into the palace, just to take a shortcut and find out what her eldest son was thinking.

Now that his goal was achieved... thinking that the longer Lu Xinran stayed beside him, the more privacy he would see, he hurriedly coughed again.

"The Queen Mother has been thinking about you all the time. She was very worried when she learned that you were in trouble. You should go and pay your respects to her."

Lu Xinran: “…”

So they waited so long just to hear these words?

Although they complained, the two sisters didn't want to stay here any longer. After bowing, they left together.

In Yongshou Palace, the empress, who had learned that the two sisters had entered the palace, was already waiting there.

They had already learned from the palace people what had happened in the court the day before, as well as how the two sisters had an accident and Song Junyan had brought people to rescue them.

Knowing that the two of them were safe and sound with only minor injuries, the Queen Mother began to worry about her grandson.

"I heard that Junyan had eight ribs broken in order to save Xinran?"

The empress could not hide her heartache when she thought of the news sent from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

"Yes, not only eight ribs were broken, but there were also many abrasions on the body."

When the imperial doctors were setting his bones, the pain was so severe that he was sweating all over, but he did not make a sound and just gritted his teeth and endured it.

She felt very sad when she heard this, as the child grew up under her care.

Even though she didn't take him in to look after him, she still gave him all the care and concern she deserved. Even though she had no children, she already considered him as her own son.

"Junyan has been like this since he was young. No matter how much he was wronged, he never said a word. Fortunately, he has a kind and warm personality."

I didn't become a sinister and cold person because of what happened in the past.

While the two were talking, a palace maid came in and announced that the two sisters had arrived.

Seeing the two sisters walking slowly towards her, especially seeing Lu Xinran who was unharmed, the empress thought of Song Junyan who was still in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Lu Xinran bowed respectfully and saw the worry in the empress's eyes. He felt extremely guilty when he thought of Song Junyan who was immediately sent to the Imperial Medical Bureau as soon as he entered the palace.

Everything was in chaos when the incident happened, and she had no time to think about it.

When the night fell and everyone was asleep, she was at a loss as to what to do when she thought about how many ribs the other person had broken and how much suffering he had endured because of her.

[I don't know how Song Junyan is doing. Besides the rib injury, is there anything else?]

[How can I repay this favor? ]

[He is a prince, and I am an unloved country girl from the countryside.]

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. When she heard the Queen Mother and the Empress express their concern, she felt even more uneasy.

[Alas, I cannot repay you for saving my life. How about I secretly ask him if he wants to be the emperor? Then I can help him with the Tongzi? ]

[This is what makes the Queen so worried. How can I help her? She is already the Queen...]
