Song Chengze was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, "No, there's nothing wrong in the palace, it's something else."
Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as nothing happened in the palace.
"So where are you taking me so early?"
"I'll give you a surprise, all you have to do is wait." Song Chengze said mysteriously.
Meng Qi leaned against the back of the car and stroked her chest. "Your Highness is really something. He didn't even tell me what happened, and he scared me so much that I didn't even have time to have breakfast."
Song Chengze smiled and said, "It would be better if I compensate you with a meal later."
Hearing this, Meng Qi nodded with a smile, "That's about right. Did you come back very late yesterday?"
Seeing Song Chengze raise his eyebrows, Meng Qi hurriedly explained, "I'm not concerned about your trip, I just wanted to report to you what happened at the Huainan Marquis Mansion yesterday, because I'm afraid you'll worry."
Song Chengze shook his head. "I'm not worried. I believe you will do a great job. And if we hadn't succeeded yesterday, you would have told Zhang Decheng to let me return to Jing'an Garden no matter how late it was."
Meng Qi felt that there was clearly something else in Song Chengze's words, as if a husband who was unwilling to return to the inner house was being blamed by his wife.
"You are wrong." Meng Qi said coquettishly, tilting her head.
"What's wrong?"
"I won't tell Zhang Decheng. I'll go to the outer courtyard study and wait for you."
Song Chengze burst into laughter after hearing this, his eyebrows relaxed, and he looked particularly gentle and handsome. Meng Qi praised Song Chengze's good looks in her heart, while despising herself in her previous life for thinking that Hong Zhe was the best in the world.
Listening to Meng Qi telling him almost word for word about her conversation with Hong Zhe yesterday, even not hiding details like handing over the handkerchief and shedding tears, Song Chengze suddenly felt relaxed, which made him happier than hearing that she had successfully gained Hong Zhe's trust.
"Don't worry, that handkerchief is a plain handkerchief, there is nothing on it." Meng Qi showed me that I was very shrewd.
Song Chengze nodded with satisfaction. "That's great. I can now make arrangements in the palace with greater confidence. I was originally worried that Fourth Brother would interfere, but now that he's focused on dealing with me, he's naturally paying less attention to Second Brother's situation. With one less person to disrupt the situation, our success rate will be very high."
Meng Qi was delighted when she heard him say that, "There is one more thing I would like to ask Your Majesty for help with."
"Oh? A request? It seems like a big deal." Song Chengze smiled, but when he saw Meng Qi's eyes suddenly dim, his heart tightened and he unconsciously held Meng Qi's hand, "What? What happened?"
Meng Qi took a deep breath and said, "It's my grandfather. My mother received a letter from my uncle in November saying that my grandfather had a sudden illness..."
Song Chengze listened carefully to what Meng Qi had said, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Don't worry. I'm sure nothing serious will happen to my grandfather. My father has already relented on my uncle's side, and we're just waiting for the seal to be issued before discussing things according to the procedures. If something happens to him now, there's no way the capital wouldn't know about it."
Meng Qi looked at Song Chengze holding her bony hand, and a tear fell. "My second sister said the same thing, but my mother is still worried. I want to ask the prince, can you send a letter via official channels to find out what's going on?"
Song Chengze felt the tears on his hand and suddenly felt heartbroken. He gently patted Meng Qi's hand and said, "It's not difficult. I'll ask Chu Yong to do it soon. Don't worry, I will find out everything."
Meng Qi raised her head, tears still in the corners of her eyes, and smiled. "I'd also like to ask the prince and Master Yue if it's possible for my third brother to stop by the northwest on his way to Sichuan so he can see my grandfather in person. That would put my mother at ease. I wonder if this will affect Master Yue's schedule?"
Song Chengze reached out his hand, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Meng Qi's eyes, and said softly, "Just talk to him yourself later."
Meng Qi was stunned by his actions and surprised by his words. She opened her mouth half-way, not knowing how to respond.
Song Chengze smiled slightly, and heard Chu Yong say outside, "We're here."
Song Chengze pushed open the car door and jumped out first, standing there and stretching out his hand to Meng Qi.
