Chapter 106 Sorry, I can't find you
Xu ran onto the stage and held Xiao Jin in her arms.
"My son has done something wrong and will face punishment according to the laws of Dali. But the villagers have also spread these rumors, deeply hurting Zijin. A girl's beauty is not a sin, no matter which girl it is. I implore everyone to reflect on their own behavior and learn from this."
The audience gradually fell silent.
Xiao Linyuan glanced at the filthy Xu and raised his hand. Wang Ge then brought his men onto the stage and took the mother and son away.
Song Ze stood beside the stage with his wife and children, and the whole family's eyes were swollen from crying.
Madam Liu arrived late and squeezed forward, asking the woman next to her, "Who are those crying people?"
The old lady replied, "I heard it was Miss Song's family. Alas, it's pitiful that their beauty has become an excuse for others to commit crimes."
The two ladies covered their mouths with their handkerchiefs and were greatly shocked.
So, that unfortunate young lady was actually the Regent’s sweetheart!
OMG!
Think about it quickly, did you offend anyone in the first place?
…
Xiao Linyuan personally escorted the four members of the Song family back to the Song Mansion.
When they arrived at the destination, he didn't get off the car.
Song Ze walked to the carriage of the palace and asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to come in and sit down?"
"No." Xiao Linyuan smiled and said, "I'm quite busy. Sending you back is just a side job. Also, don't forget to go to the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow to take up your post. There are too many vacancies for officials, and I'm too busy to handle them all."
The official position he arranged for Song Ze was Minister of Personnel.
Song Ze nodded, took two steps back, and the palace's carriage left.
Luo Qingtang walked over and held Song Ze's hand, "Is the prince really busy or just pretending to be busy?"
"Maybe he's really busy."
Their family returned to the capital three days ago. When they were at the city gate, the prince went to greet them in person. It was the prince who sent Zipei back. Yesterday, he also took Wuque to the best enlightenment academy in the capital to get him acquainted with the way. It was also the prince who took him there in person.
I don’t know whether the prince will come to pick him up personally when he goes to court tomorrow.
He has been to the Song Mansion so many times, but he has never gone in.
"What a mess Zijin is! Why doesn't he send us any letter?" Luo Qingtang was a little frustrated.
She never knew that her eldest daughter had suffered so much. If she had known, she would rather her family stay in the mine for the rest of their lives than return to this cannibalistic capital.
"She must have gone to Tan County," Luo Qingtang said with certainty. "This child doesn't know much about other places. Tan County is the spiritual homeland of the people of Divine Doctor Valley. If she has the chance to go out and about, she will definitely go there. Are we really not going to tell the prince?"
Song Ze patted her hand. "After so much experience, Zijin has grown up and has her own ideas. Tan County is a good place for her to relax. We are outsiders and have no idea about the things between her and the prince. I believe that Xiao Jin's affairs will soon reach her ears. If she really wants to be with the prince, she will come back."
If these two are destined to be together, then just wait for the flowers to bloom.
…
After returning to the palace, Xiao Linyuan hesitated between going back to Ruifengyuan or Tingtaoyuan.
In the end, he neither went left nor right, but went straight to the Star-Picking Pavilion.
Chunsheng was assigned to go back and get some wine. Today was a good day, so the prince should drink more!
Xiao Linyuan walked up the stairs with heavy steps to the second floor.
The sky gradually darkened, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, with the ever-lasting Venus next to it.
Xiao Linyuan bent one leg and sat on the railing, filled a glass with wine, and toasted to the moon, "May I be like the stars and you like the moon~"
How wonderful it would be if they were the moon and the stars?
After she left, he could see the moon almost every night, either through the screen window or through the leaves of the sycamore tree.
During those sleepless nights, the only bright lights in his world were the moon and the stars.
He stroked the jade hairpin he wore daily and murmured, "My lady, Xiao Jin confessed his guilt today. Everyone in the capital knows you are innocent. When will you be able to learn this news?"
Once you know, you will come back, right?
"I'm sorry, I can't find you."
He leaned back against the pillar, his eyes, which were sharp and captivating during the day, now looked like pearls covered in dust, dull and lifeless.
He was so angry and aggrieved at the beginning, but now all he has left is longing and worry.
He was so afraid. He was afraid that she wouldn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and he was also afraid that she would find that playing around in the world was happier than being with him, and would turn her attention to another man.
And that Wen Yan, who was given the position of Prime Minister but was discarded by him like a piece of trash, could he have secretly gone to look for her?
What if Wen Yan finds her before him...
When the old princess heard the news, she hesitated for a long time, but finally put aside her pride and went to the second floor of Zhaixing Pavilion.
Xiao Linyuan could drink quite a bit, but he still got drunk after drinking half a jar.
With rosy cheeks, closed eyes, and the wind blowing.
The old princess covered him with the cloak in her hand and said, "The wind is strong in autumn. Be careful not to catch a cold if you drink here."
The drunk didn't answer, but turned over slightly and faced away from her.
The old princess felt something was wrong, so she reached out and touched his forehead and found it was very hot.
"Lingzhi, get up quickly, you have a fever!"
Xiao Linyuan just hummed and still didn't say anything.
"Lingzhi, are you planning to never talk to your mother again in your life?"
There has been a cold war between mother and son for two and a half months.
"Mother misunderstood. I'm busy with work and don't talk much to anyone."
The old princess laughed self-deprecatingly, "It was mother's fault. Mother shouldn't have been so paranoid and sent Zijin away."
Xiao Linyuan suddenly opened his eyes, and there were countless red bloodshot in his eyes.
"If mother really knows she's wrong, please tell me where Zijin is! I can't do it without her."
The old princess apologized, "I'm sorry, mother really didn't know. At the beginning, I ordered Changfeng and Changshun that as long as Zijin's life was not in danger, they didn't need to write to me. I was afraid... afraid that you would intercept the letter..."
Xiao Linyuan couldn't hide his disappointment, but it was also good news, at least it proved that Zijin was fine.
"But mother has a new clue, do you want to hear it?" the old princess said cautiously.
"What?"
"The incident involving Xiao Jin caused a huge stir today, and many people from the capital went to the scene. Among them was a woman named Madam Liu, who must have had some connection with Zijin before. A few months ago, my wife went to the women's clinic to find a female doctor to treat my eczema, and the one who came was Madam Liu and a doctor named Luo."
She was also stupid. She never suspected that Duo Zijin was Doctor Luo.
"Madam Liu suddenly visited today, apparently to test whether Zijin was the same Madam Luo who had worked at her clinic. When she first came to see me, Madam Liu was very kind to Zijin and gave her the lion's share of the money."
A light bulb went off in Xiao Linyuan's head. Madam Liu, yes, why didn't he think of asking Madam Liu!
Madam Liu accompanied Zijin through some unhappy days, so maybe she knows something!
“Thank you, mother!”
The wine jar fell to the ground when he stood up, but he was in no mood to care about it. He walked all the way to the women's clinic under the moonlight.
