Chapter 153 Immediate Release

Looking at the corpses neatly stacked in the middle of the main courtyard, Song Yichun felt a tightness in his chest and with a "wow" he vomited all the food he had eaten in the morning.

The few people who escaped with Guard Xie were now mixed in with Song Yichun's guards. They all looked pale, some vomited like Song Yichun, some stood there at a loss, and some secretly regretted that they should have tried to hide. Only Guard Chang looked relatively calm.

But that's just an appearance.

His heart was chilled.

It’s over, it’s over!

No wonder Gu Yu is so easy to talk to!

It turned out to be the prince's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

Now the Duke of England's Mansion has fallen into the hands of the Crown Prince!

What to do now?

His eyes couldn't help but fall on Song Yichun, who was being supported by two guards and continued to vomit there.

The Duke...is indecisive and can't be relied upon in most cases. Fortunately, the Duke of England's Mansion belongs to him after all. If the guard dies, they can recruit new ones. They also have the loyal soldiers raised by the Duke of England's Mansion, so they are not completely powerless to fight back. But the Duke and the Crown Prince are father and son after all. The Duke can't take the Crown Prince's life at will, and the Crown Prince can't commit crimes. This matter has become a big deal. The Duke has lost all his face and the Crown Prince can't escape the charge of rebellion, so the Crown Prince took advantage of the Duke's absence to kill all these guards who were loyal to the Duke.

As long as the prince still cares about it!

After all, the Duke's Palace belongs to the Duke.

Chang Huwei felt relieved. He stepped forward and saluted Song Yichun, saying in a low voice, "Duke, please take care of these corpses as soon as possible..."

Hearing about it is one thing, being seen is another. After a long time, it will be bad if outsiders see it.

"Rebellious son! Rebellious son!" Song Yichun cursed desperately. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he had to admit that what Chang Huwei said made sense. He nodded and said, "You go and do it - compensation and other things are easy to talk about."

It will be easy if you have this sentence.

Guard Chang heaved a sigh of relief and said "Yes" respectfully. He then said, "Look at the prince's..."

"That evil creature, what else does he want?" Song Yichun jumped up and down, with a flash of panic in his eyes. "He killed so many people. It's good enough that I didn't kidnap him and hand him over to Shuntian Prefecture. What else does he want to do..." But he didn't come up with a plan on what to do.

Chang Huwei couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

The Duke's attitude towards the Crown Prince is just... lustful, but that's all!

He had no choice but to say, "Since the prince dared to kill someone, he must have a backup plan. Do you want to think of a countermeasure first?"

"Countermeasures?" Song Yichun asked blankly, "What countermeasures?" It was obvious that he was confused.

Guard Chang whispered, "Should we notify Guard Meng to bring a few people? And what about the Crown Prince... I wonder what the Duke has planned? Even a rabbit will bite when it is anxious. If the Crown Prince doesn't care... In addition to Gu Yu, the Third Princess often goes in and out of the palace... If the Crown Prince uses them to complain to the Emperor, even if the Emperor doesn't like the Crown Prince's disobedience, I'm afraid he will ask a few questions. What should he say then? The Duke should make a decision early!"

Although his words were expressed politely, Song Yichun understood them.

Guard Meng is in charge of managing the assassins in the Duke of England's mansion.

Now they are left with only a few defeated soldiers. If they don't transfer those skilled people under Meng Huwei as soon as possible, Song Mo might use the excuse that there are thieves in his house to continue killing, and they will be no match for him.

And then how will this matter end?

If he decides to deal with Song Mo, Song Mo will definitely go to the emperor to cry and complain when he is forced into a corner, and he must produce strong evidence to prove that Song Mo has committed immoral acts; if he cannot produce strong evidence, he must find a way to settle the matter as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Song Yichun shuddered involuntarily.

After the Empress Wan's mother was made famous, a villain once complained to the emperor that the prince was unfilial. The emperor was furious and said, "If a son is not taught strictly, it is the father's fault; if a daughter is not taught strictly, it is the mother's fault. Are you blaming me?" He dragged the people who said this to the market and beheaded them. Afterwards, he said to him bitterly, "... these people are just bullying the prince who has been without a mother since he was young. I hate this kind of thing the most!"

The Emperor respected Empress Shen very much. Five years after Empress Shen's death, he appointed the gentle and kind Concubine Wan as Empress.

Chiang had just passed away.

If Song Mo went to complain to the emperor, he would not be able to come up with a tenable excuse and would probably have a hard time explaining himself to the emperor!

"You are right, you are right!" Song Yichun wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly ordered Guard Chang, "Hurry up and notify Guard Meng to bring his people over..." As for what to do with Song Mo, he pursed his lips with a gloomy expression.

To be able to become Song Yichun's confidant, Chang Huwei must have his own extraordinary qualities.

There are some things you can do but cannot say, and some things you can say but cannot do.

The relationship between the father and son of the Song family is one in which they can talk but not do.

He could remind Song Yichun, but he couldn't interfere in the affairs between them.

Guard Chang saluted Song Yichun respectfully, sent someone to inform Guard Meng, and then took a few guards to deal with the pile of corpses that were like naked letters of challenge.

The bloody scene in the main courtyard made Song Yichun feel that the entire Duke of Yingguo's Mansion had become a battlefield. He was protected by several guards and rested in a room next to the carriage hall, which was originally used for coachmen and grooms to dust.

At dusk, Guard Meng arrived with more than twenty guards.

These guards were obviously more experienced in handling corpses than ordinary guards and others. With their help, when the "dong-dong-dong" drum sounded, if one ignored the faint smell of blood in the stains on the ground and the frightened looks of the servants, the Duke of England's mansion had barely returned to normal.

※※※※※

Song Mo, who was lying on the bed with a quilt and a single layer of clothes on, smiled at Song Han, who was lying beside him, and said, "It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"

Song Han twisted his body beside his brother: "Brother, I want to sleep with you!"

"No!" Song Mo laughed, "I'm in so much pain now, what if you touch my wound in the middle of the night?"

Song Han listened, carefully touched his brother's hand, and said, "Next time if daddy hits you again, I will go and plead for you!"

"Okay!" Song Mo smiled gently and said again: "Go and rest!"

Li Bai, who came with Song Han, smiled and stepped forward, holding Song Han's hand, saying, "Second Master, let's not delay the Crown Prince from resting and recuperating."

Li Bai used to be Jiang's maid. Because of her calm, steady and prudent personality, she was made Song Han's maid.

She had been accompanying Song Han in the mourning hall located to the upper landlord's side since early morning.

When Song Mo Chong came in, he sent capable men to guard around the mourning hall.

She knew something serious had happened, and she kept coaxing Song Han to stay in the mourning hall.

After Song Mo cleaned up Xizhi Hall, he immediately asked Li Bai to send Song Han over. He said that he had made his father angry and was beaten by his father, and that there was a conflict between his guards and the guards in the mansion.

Song Han was skeptical, but didn't ask any more questions.

Hearing Li Bai say that Song Mo also needed to rest, he nodded obediently and followed Li Bai to retreat.

Xia Lian brought in a bowl of inky medicine.

All those who had served Song Mo closely in Yizhitang were beaten to the point where they could not move. Those who could move were all third- and fourth-rate characters. Xia Lian did not dare to entrust such an important task of boiling medicine to others, so he had to do it himself.

Song Mo took the medicine and drank it all, then asked Xia Lian, "Did father's people clean up the outside?"

"Yes!" Xia Lian was just responding when Chen He, with red and swollen eyes and a haggard look, walked in.

He was holding a bowl of porridge in his hand.

Song Mo sighed and said, "Didn't I tell you to go back and accompany your nurse? Why are you still here? There are people doing these things..."

"Master," Chen He did not argue, but put the porridge on the stool beside him and said in a low voice, "Wuyi and Songluo are both very good. It won't be too late for me to go back to see my mother after they have recovered from their injuries." He added, "Master, you haven't eaten much today. I put some yam in the porridge as you usually like. Try it!" There was a bit of stubbornness in his eyes and eyebrows.

Everyone has their own persistence.

Song Mo said nothing more and lay on the bed drinking porridge.

The guards sent to look for Aunt Xie have returned.

"Your Highness," he lowered his head, "Madame Xie passed away ten days ago... It was said that she accidentally stepped on empty space from the stairs and broke her neck, and died on the spot..."

Song Mo paused.

He stared at the porridge in the spoon expressionlessly, letting the faint hot steam blow on his face.

After a long while, he silently continued to eat all the porridge and told Xia Lian: "No matter what, you must find a way to find the maids around my mother!"

They never found the maids.

Xia Lian agreed, entrusted Song Mo to Chen He, and retreated.

Song Mo started writing letters again.

Song Yichun, however, was pacing around the room restlessly.

This is an opportunity.

Once lost, it is hard to find again.

But if I insist, what should I say to the emperor?

He was having a headache, and Chang Huwei came over.

"Duke," he whispered, "Second Master is now in Yizhi Hall!"

The two sons were already very close, and it was normal for Song Mo to be afraid that Song Han would be frightened and take him to Yizhitang.

Song Yichun didn't understand what Chang Huwei meant for a moment.

Guard Chang had no choice but to step forward and whispered, "Duke, if the Crown Prince is unfavorable to the Second Master, then..."

Song Yichun's eyelids jumped when he heard this.

Why didn't he think of that?

Song Mo killed the guards of the Duke of Ying's Mansion and placed the body in that position with a fearless look. He is no longer the son he used to know. He has become the second Jiang Meisun!

Song Yichun took a breath and said, "What do you think we should do now?"

"My Lord, you should think about how to confront the Crown Prince!" A strange look flashed in Chang Huwei's eyes.

He has already formed a life-and-death feud with Song Mo. Once Song Mo becomes the Duke of England, his fate can be imagined.

Song Yichun asked him, "What good ideas do you have?"

Only scholars who are familiar with the classics could come up with such a thing. How did he know?

Chang Huwei gritted his teeth and came up with several ideas, but they were all rejected by Song Yichun.

Faintly, the sound of the fourth watch drum could be heard.

Song Yichun gritted her teeth and ordered the maid: "Go, invite Mr. Tao over!"

Mr. Tao, whose given name was Chi and whose courtesy name was Qizhong, was his most capable aide.

He originally wanted to ask him to help him think of a foolproof plan, but Tao Qizhong talked a lot of nonsense, bringing up Duke Wen of Jin and Emperor Wu of Han, which made him furious... He never thought that in the end he still had to ask him to help clean up the mess.

Although these warriors are obedient, they are like dog meat and can never be seated at the main table!
