Chapter 170
The word regret
He said he would give it a try, but he was actually feeling annoyed. Now he was trapped in this palace and couldn't even leave. How could he have the chance to see the emperor?
When the evil spirit entered the city, he was drugged and fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, the palace had returned to peace.
Therefore.
He had no idea what was going on in the inner palace.
only.
No one noticed that at the place on Song Chengyu's heart where the knife had cut him, a ball of black gas was slowly moving there.
"Princess Lin'an, do you know if Princess Le'an is okay? And what's going on outside?"
Right now his only relative in the palace is Princess Le An. He has to find a way to contact Le An. Maybe his cousin will help him because of their relationship.
If the Queen didn't want to use Princess Lin'an in front of him, she wouldn't even care about his life or death.
He also asked the palace maids and eunuchs who were serving him, but they had wooden faces as usual and said nothing no matter what he asked. Even when he lost his temper, they didn't say a word.
He lies here all day long, with no one to talk to and nothing to do. God knows he's going crazy.
Princess Lin'an glanced at Song Chengyu. This young master who was once so glorious and bright was now as defeated as a dog. It was really... So it was really important to judge the situation and recognize everything in front of you.
Then.
She patiently explained the matter to him in simple terms.
When Song Chengyu heard that Jiang Jianzheng and Jiang Zhaoying had performed great merits, quelled evil spirits, and saved countless lives, the expression on his face was as exciting as it could be.
As soon as I fell asleep.
Every bit of your past life will appear in your dreams, becoming clearer, more detailed, and more heartbreaking.
If this life.
Jiang Zhaoying also made the same dedication as she did in her previous life, and his Song family had long been prosperous and successful.
and.
What scared him even more was that he now suspected that Jiang Zhaoying was born with the memories of her previous life, and she remembered everything.
so.
She came to take revenge in this life.
She hated herself!
And now.
However, he was still wishing that Jiang Zhaoying would remember the love between husband and wife for two lifetimes and come to help him.
"goddess."
Song Chengyu's pale face was filled with regret.
"She is now a goddess respected by the people. I believe that soon an official will write a letter to canonize her as a true goddess."
Until then.
Her Jiang family is rich and prosperous, with everything they have.
"Where's Shen Yuefu?"
Doesn’t she love herself the most? Why haven't I heard of her doing anything for herself?
"It seems she has returned to the Shen family. I have no news about her."
These words hit Song Chengyu hard in the face like a slap.
Princess Lin'an looked at Song Chengyu, and when she lowered her eyes, there was a hint of mockery in her eyes. She had schemed against others in so many ways, but when it was someone else's turn to scheme against her, she felt so uncomfortable?
Shen family?
Song Chengyu suddenly raised his head and waved to Princess Lin'an.
"Lin'an, please do me another favor."
Lin'an looked at Song Chengyu indifferently, and Song Chengyu took out a jade pendant from her arms and handed it to Princess Lin'an.
“Please help me deliver this jade pendant to Princess Le’an and ask her to send it to the Shen Mansion. Maybe my uncle and aunt will be able to save me.”
He had known for a long time that he was the biological son of the Shen family, and they would not just watch him die without helping.
Lin'an listened and shook his head.
"What's the point of talking about saving or not saving you? You are quite free in the palace now. You can sleep when you want, eat when you want, and I'm sure no one is stopping you from going out for a walk."
These words made Song Chengyu's heart sink suddenly. Although he said so, anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was under house arrest by the emperor. He was relatively free in this palace, but he could not step out of the palace gate.
"My uncle seems to have been promoted. Princess Lin'an, please help me. Go now. If I stay here any longer, I will definitely die here."
He has to drink more than ten bowls of expensive tonic every day. He wants to vomit when he smells it now, but if he doesn't eat it, these bastards will have plenty of ways to force him to eat it.
"Okay, I'll go check it out."
Just saying.
A short and fat eunuch with a gloomy expression came in with the young eunuchs. When he saw Princess Lin'an, the old eunuch bowed.
"Your Highness, I have something to do here, it will be very dirty, please leave first."
"good."
Princess Lin'an nodded, then Xi Que came forward, helped her and turned to leave.
The old man then pointed at Song Chengyu lying on the couch and said in a shrill voice that sounded like a smile.
"Prince Song, the Emperor feels that your blood is not pure enough. In order to make you pure and free from desire, this old servant has to take away the excess from your body."
"Extra stuff?"
Song Chengyu felt horrified when he heard this. His hair stood on end and he sat up subconsciously.
But the old man did not explain, but just smiled. When he raised his hand, the young eunuchs came forward, pushed him down on the couch, and then began to take off his pants.
No matter how stupid Song Chengyu was, he knew what they were going to do at this moment. After kicking the little eunuch away, he hurriedly got out of bed and rushed towards the door.
The old man didn't stop him.
Just sneered.
really.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, a cold sword was pointed at his forehead. Song Chengyu felt a numbness on his forehead and fell backwards.
The young eunuchs came forward and carried him to the couch. After a while, they tied his hands and feet and pressed his body down.
The old man stepped forward, grabbed the waistband of his trousers and gently pulled them down. The coldness made Song Chengyu struggle and howl.
"No, you can't do this. You can't do this. It has nothing to do with taking blood. Please don't do this."
"I have money, I have a lot of money, I can give it all to you, all to you, just let me go."
…
However.
The old man had a sinister look on his face and didn't listen to his howling at all. He raised his knife and slashed it, blood spurted out. Song Chengyu only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and a bloody smell. Then he was horrified to see that the old man was holding something in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
The young eunuch came over carrying a small jar, and the old man weighed the thing.
"It's not small."
No wonder this prince has so many romantic affairs. Madam Zhou's concerns are correct. If he takes good care of his body, his blood and energy will be excessive and have nowhere to vent, and it will be bad if he gets involved with palace maids or something.
So yeah.
It’s still safer this way.
"ah……"
When Song Chengyu heard what the old man said, she completely collapsed.
He struggled and screamed miserably, then fell off the bed and tried to grab the small jar. The young eunuch smiled and said.
"Prince Song, this thing needs to be handled, otherwise it will rot soon. After I handle it, it will remain unchanged for decades. You can keep it as a souvenir."
Song Chengyu fell to the ground, gasping for breath, his body hunched over due to the severe pain.
He thought of all kinds of beautiful things.
He thought that the emperor would have to please him, praise him, and even promote him to a higher position, let him inherit the title of marquis, and make his family prosperous in order to get his blood.
The only thing he never thought about was that he was now trapped here like a prisoner, and even a small eunuch could hurt him.
You have to escape.
He must see Princess Le'an and Jiang Zhaoying. Only they can save him!
"I want to see Princess Le'an. I'm her cousin. Can you help me find Jiang Jianzheng and ask him to bring Jiang Zhaoying to see me?"
Song Chengyu crawled to the door and spoke with gritted teeth while looking at the eunuch guarding the door, but the eunuch at the door just looked at him mockingly, snorted and then stood still, as if he didn't hear anything.
far away.
A figure disappeared quietly.
When Jiang Zhaoying heard the news, she was in the palace with Zhou Ruogu, listening to the report of the young eunuch. Jiang Zhaoying put a lucky bag in his hand, and the young eunuch took it and left respectfully.
"Has Liu Yanchen and Liu Xianle not been found yet?"
How strange.
Ever since the evil spirit appeared, these two people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and could not be found.
The secret guards of the Prince's Mansion went out several times to try to take the opportunity to kill them, but they all returned empty-handed.
Jiang Zhaoying paced back and forth in the hall with a gloomy look on her face.
"I have to find a way to get the birth dates of Liu Yanchen and Liu Xianle so that I can calculate their approximate locations. Right now I only know that these two are still alive."
Zhou Ruogu walked up to her and held her hand tightly.
"I always feel that Liu Yanchen is not as simple as we thought."
"kindness."
Jiang Zhaoying nodded.
He was indeed not simple, at least much more complicated than they saw.
"I always feel that..."
When this thought came to her mind, Jiang Zhaoying felt a creepy feeling.
"Liu Yanchen seems to be using this incident to destroy the Liu family. At least he wants to kill Prime Minister Liu."
"If that's the case, why didn't he rescue the other people in Liu Mansion?"
Zhou Ruogu's eyes were filled with worry. This was not a good thing. Jiang Zhaoying shook her head.
"No, he must have discussed this matter with Madam Liu. Maybe Madam Liu volunteered to die. If all the people involved were taken away, the target would be too big and it would be easy to find out. If the whole city was wanted, they would become passive. I think Liu Yanchen must have made some arrangements. Now they have gone to their designated location."
"Then what identity will he appear in the future? And will he come to seek revenge on us again?"
That remains to be seen.
Jiang Zhaoying and Zhou Ruogu snuggled into the couch together. Both of them looked a little nervous. They were a little frustrated that they couldn't capture all of the Liu Mansion in one fell swoop.
"My lady, Master Xu is here."
Then Xu Zhiyan was welcomed in. Jiang Zhaoying looked at the faint black energy on his right arm, stepped forward, made a hand gesture, and then used a drop of blood to force the black energy to flee everywhere, and it disappeared in an instant.
"Are there any casualties in the Imperial Observatory?"
"There are some injured, but no one died, which is the best. There are more injured people in the Royal Temple, but we have already sent all kinds of things over there, and they are fine now."
Jiang Zhaoying nodded, then said goodbye to Zhou Ruogu and left her palace together.
While walking slowly.
From a distance, I saw a figure sitting on a stone in a daze.
Jiang Zhaoying looked at it and frowned slightly.
"That's Princess Lin'an, what's wrong?"
"strangeness."
Jiang Zhaoying looked at Princess Lin'an's back, and the back of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince flashed through her mind. Then Jiang Zhaoying quickly stepped forward.
Princess Lin'an heard the sound and turned around quickly.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Normally, Princess Lin'an was very difficult to get along with, so Jiang Zhaoying and Xu Zhiyan just greeted her from a distance.
Rare.
Princess Lin'an did not look as cold, aloof and unreasonable as usual. She looked at Jiang Zhaoying with slightly red eyes and nodded. Seeing her like this, Jiang Zhaoying could not help but look at her twice more. At the moment when she looked deep into her bones, Jiang Zhaoying's heart trembled and she said softly.
"Princess, it's windy here. Why don't you have anyone to serve you?"
If it were normal times.
Lin'an would definitely scold Jiang Zhaoying for meddling in other people's business, but when he heard such sincere words, he felt mixed emotions.
"I'll be leaving soon."
She stood up and Princess Lin'an really left like that.
Seeing her somewhat flustered look, Jiang Zhaoying said softly.
"Let's go and see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
When he found His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he had just finished reviewing all the memorials in his hands and was preparing to leave the palace to check on the capital's recovery after the evil spirit.
Jiang Zhaoying looked at the Crown Prince's beautiful figure and suddenly said.
"Your Highness, I just ran into Princess Lin'an and accidentally observed her bones. I always feel that she is closely related to you."
The prince was slightly startled, then pulled her to sit down with him.
"Lin'an has come to look for me. My mother and Empress He gave birth at the same time. Empress He exchanged the dead fetus for my mother and Lin'an for herself. She is a little confused now, so I didn't say much to her."
There are some things she needs to accept and digest on her own. If she is willing to acknowledge him as her brother in the future, he will definitely protect her. If she thinks that Queen He and Prince Yue Ming are her relatives, then they can only be enemies in the future.
Because of this matter.
There has always been a rumor in the palace that the Queen Mother is an ominous person, and that she has poor morals, otherwise she would not have given birth to a stillborn baby.
This incident dealt a heavy blow to the Queen Mother, causing her health to deteriorate.
It has to be Queen He.
She would carry Lin'an to pay her respects whenever she had time. On the surface, he was well-behaved and docile, but in fact, he was just irritating his mother. Perhaps it was her nature, as her mother had always loved Lin'an. On the other hand, Lin'an helped Empress He do a lot of bad things.
Including harming the Queen Mother and him.
The prince told Jiang Zhaoying in detail what had just happened in Lin'an, and Jiang Zhaoying thought about it.
"So Prince Yueming wants to leave the capital. Your Highness, will you let him go?"
"Let him go." The prince's eyes were cold. "He is isolated and helpless in the capital. Only when he leaves can I know what power he has hidden."
That's true. Prince Yueming and Queen He have been acting in secret all these years. It's impossible that they don't have hidden forces outside.
"Where's Song Chengyu?"
When the prince mentioned this name, his eyes looked at Jiang Zhaoying, gloomy, as if he was worried about something.
Jiang Zhaoying saw her burning gaze and felt a hint of heat brushing against the tip of her ear.
Said softly.
"It's good for him to live a life worse than death and to be in fear and anxiety every day."
"kindness."
The prince saw the vicious look in his eyes and seemed to be relieved, and held her hand tightly.
"I want him to watch you rise to a higher position step by step, and to watch you be happy, so I don't intend to let him die."
That's why he asked people to collect all kinds of supplements and asked the imperial physician to take close care of Song Chengyu's body. While they could provide him with nourishment, they couldn't damage his body.
He wanted to make Song Chengyu suffer, torment and struggle, and then execute Song Chengyu when Zhaoying wore the queen's clothes and took that position.
"Zhiyan, have you got all the things back?"
When Liu's residence was raided previously, Xu Zhiyan had been there with them. Xu Zhiyan took out two lists from his arms.
"One is a list of everything except the things in the Wen Mansion, and the other is a list of the things in the Wen Mansion. Prime Minister Liu's private vault is built underground and is half the size of the Liu Mansion."
When Cui Hexun took him in, both of them were so shocked that they didn't speak for a long time.
The emperor's private treasury is not even half the size of the Liu Mansion's.
This Liu Xiang is simply...
All the things that belonged to the Wen Mansion were returned to Xu Zhiyan, and the rest were sent to the palace.
"Your Highness, I have placed all the things in the Wen Mansion on your farm."
"Why, guard against the eldest daughter of the Xu family?"
Speaking of the Xu family, Jiang Zhaoying pricked up her ears.
They had done something to the Xu family before, but we haven't paid any attention to them since then, so we don't know what happened to them.
"Some people from the Xu family died, and half of them are gone. The eldest daughter of the Xu family is now in a state of anxiety, and people are carried out of the Xu Mansion from time to time."
"She didn't pester you to go back home?"
Jiang Zhaoying frowned. If that was the case, the Xu family would turn their attention back to Xu Zhiyan and would definitely ask him to go back and take charge of the situation.
"It's a constant entanglement."
When Xu Zhiyan mentioned the Xu family, there was deep disgust in his eyes.
These people first arrogantly ordered him to return home to make contributions, but he ignored them. Then they sent people to ask him to come back, but he also ignored them. Now they come to his house one by one to beg him to go back, asking him to talk about morality and family affection.
Think of these.
Xu Zhiyan found it funny.
Fortunately, the real Xu Zhiyan is no longer with us, otherwise who knows how long he would have been tortured by these relatives.
"Master Xu, your house was split open by the Xu family, and now those people have all rushed in, saying that they want to live in it and not leave."
The prince raised an eyebrow.
It seems that it is right to move everything away.
"I moved all my valuables to the Crown Prince's farm. I have nothing to my name."
Not to mention that they had severed their relationship, even if they shamelessly insisted on taking it back, he would have nothing but that little house.
"Do you want me to help you?"
The prince has always been ruthless in his treatment of such shameless people.
But Xu Zhiyan... He always thought that he had occupied the original owner's body, and he always felt reluctant. After a while, he sighed softly.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I can handle it, and... I want to wait a little longer."
