Chapter 186 It’s all up to the princess
After Song Wan'er's disturbance, Chunzhi, who had originally planned to take Huo Yanran and the others for a walk, took everyone back home.
It was now the end of October, and the sun was far less scorching than in the summer. The wet nurse and the maids were taking Xiao Xinghui and Nian'er to play in the back garden.
Exotic flowers and plants are planted in the greenhouse and displayed in the garden for appreciation during the day. Picking flowers is the favorite thing for the two little ones.
Chunzhi took Wan'er and the others to sit in the pavilion, holding the little one and talking.
The maids brewed fragrant tea and brought cakes to the back garden. The flowers were in full bloom and the skirts were swaying, making it difficult to tell the changing seasons.
When Huo Yanran first met Song Wan'er, she saw Jiang San knocked down. She was very curious about her and asked her with a smile, "Wan'er, when did you realize that there was something wrong with this person and gave him the muscle softening powder?"
"I don't see anything wrong with him."
Song Wan'er said somewhat embarrassedly that she had read many storybooks and had long known that stories about talented men and beautiful women, knights and their wives were all stories where lovers finally got married.
Life is too bitter. Lovers are separated, infatuated girls are betrayed by heartless men, and it is normal for a wife who has shared the hardships of life to end up being divorced. Those stories are all made up to deceive people.
Although she was young, she had already understood this truth.
Song Wan'er said seriously, "The most untrustworthy person in this world is a man who suddenly appears."
When Chunzhi heard this, she didn't know whether to praise Wan'er for her intelligence or to be glad that although she looked innocent, she was actually not confused at all.
"Wan'er is right." Huo Yanran smiled and said, "The most untrustworthy person in this world is a man who suddenly appears."
It is said that daughters born in powerful families have good fortunes. In fact, when it comes to marriage, men mostly marry them for power and money, and they are usually wary of deliberate approaches from people with ulterior motives.
Since the Thirteenth Princess came of age, many men who had no special abilities but were good-looking wanted to rely on Princess Shang to gain wealth and glory. She was upset at the thought, but she didn't expect that Song Wan'er had the same worry as her, and she looked at the matter quite soberly.
Seeing that the Thirteenth Princess actually agreed with what she said, Song Wan'er immediately liked her more. She immediately said, "The book says that it's easy to find priceless treasures, but it's hard to find a lover. A lover is so hard to find, how could one fall from the sky and hit me on the head?"
Chunzhi, Huo Yanran, Yuzhu and others couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Song Wan'er said: "For me, there is only one man in this world who is worthy of my unconditional trust, and that man is my brother!"
Miss Song said this loudly.
Chunzhi smiled and said, "Brother is not here. No matter how loud you speak, he won't be able to hear you."
Song Wan'er blushed slightly, "I'm telling the truth. No matter whether my brother is here or not, whether he can hear me or not, I'm going to tell you!"
At this time, Nian'er suddenly clapped her hands and said "Woo wow", and Chunzhi and others immediately laughed out loud.
Yuzhu hugged Nian'er and said to Song Wan'er, "Nian'er said she believes it."
Song Wan'er's little face suddenly turned even redder.
Several people sat in the pavilion, drinking tea, enjoying the scenery, playing with the children, and talking and laughing.
Song Wan'er was going to stay in the Chang'an Palace for a while. Chunzhi saw that she and Huo Yanran got along very well and were of similar age, so Chunzhi arranged for Wan'er to live in the courtyard next to the Thirteenth Princess to facilitate their visits.
Xiaoxing got his clothes dirty while eating, so Chunzhi took him back to change clothes, and then they all went back to the courtyard to rest.
Chunzhi had just walked out of the back garden when she ran into Song Anlan and Tan Qi who had suddenly sent someone to pass on a message. The maid said, "Young Master Song and General Tan said they have something important to report to the princess."
Chunzhi thought it must be Jiang San's business, so she handed Xiaoxing back to the wet nurse and asked the wet nurse to take the little guy back to change clothes. Then she took the maids back to the front hall and asked them to talk in front of the hall.
"Princess." Tan Qi stepped forward and saluted, reporting, "That Jiang San is a rebel from Xizhou. He came to the capital to collect money for the rebels!"
"Xizhou rebel? He was found out so quickly?" Chunzhi guessed Jiang San's background, but never expected that he would be a Xizhou rebel.
The forces of the Xizhou rebels actually infiltrated into the capital.
She suddenly thought of Huo Zheng who was thousands of miles away.
I wonder what Huo Zheng’s situation is like in Xizhou right now, and whether he is safe?
"It wasn't revealed during the interrogation; he confessed on his own initiative." Tan Qi's expression was a bit complicated as he spoke of this. "Before I even started to torture him, he confessed on his own initiative. He said he was the adopted son of Cao Jing, the leader of the Xizhou rebels, and that he had a way to rescue the Ninth Prince, on the condition that he be released."
Tan Qi worked under the King of Chang'an and caught at least 800 spies and secret agents. Some of them committed suicide by taking poison right after being caught, while others refused to surrender at first and only told the truth after being tortured.
It is really rare to see someone like Jiang San, who had just entered the dark cell and hadn't even taken out the torture instruments, but he took the initiative to tell them what they wanted to know and even put forward conditions.
Tan Qi said, "Before the prince left for Xizhou, he had instructed that all matters in the palace were to be decided by the princess. I have come to ask the princess what she would do about Jiang San."
Chunzhi thought for a moment before speaking: "This man is the adopted son of the rebel leader. This matter is of great importance. It is best to let the prince handle it."
Tan Qi asked, "Does the princess mean to send someone to escort this person to Xizhou and hand him over to the prince for disposal?"
Chunzhi nodded and said, "Although he said he had a way to rescue the Ninth Prince, his words cannot be taken lightly. We must not let him go like this."
If she let him go like this, she was afraid that Jiang San would hold a grudge against Song Wan'er and seek revenge later.
Today, outside the long pavilion, Chunzhi saw the look in Jiang San's eyes when he looked at Song Wan'er. The sinisterness and hatred in his eyes were truly frightening.
If Jiang San was handed over to the government directly, those officials would most likely sentence him to private execution and behead him.
If Jiang San really had the ability to rescue the Ninth Prince Huo Yan from the rebels, it would be useful to Huo Zheng. It would be a pity if he died like this.
Therefore, the best way is to send Jiang San to Xizhou and let Huo Zheng decide whether to use this person.
Song Anlan also said: "It would be most appropriate to send this person to Xizhou and hand him over to the prince for disposal."
Jiang San came to the Song family to steal their money and intended to get close to Song Wan'er, but he failed miserably and fell into the hands of a young girl.
Huo Zheng had just arrived in Xizhou and was thinking about suppressing the rebellion and rescuing the Ninth Prince. At this time, Jiang San, the adopted son of the rebel leader, came to him, which might be a breakthrough in suppressing the rebellion.
Chunzhi thought so, and Song Anlan also agreed. Tan Qi immediately agreed, "Then I will arrange for someone to escort Jiang San to Xizhou."
Chunzhi said, "General Tan, this person is quite important. I'd like you to escort him personally."
"Yes, Princess." Tan Qi immediately agreed and asked, "Princess, is there anything you want me to bring to His Majesty?"
