Song Yu was the nephew of his mother, the Empress Dowager, but Princess Anyang was her only daughter. Naturally, the Empress Dowager favored her daughter more.
It was nothing when Anyang and Song Yu fought over a disagreement when they were young, but now that they had grown up, Song Yu still embarrassed Princess Anyang in front of everyone, and the Queen Mother was very dissatisfied with Song Yu.
But for the sake of the Song family, the Queen Mother didn't blame Song Yu too harshly. She just had them separated and said, "Why are you arguing over such a trivial matter? Go away first."
This is not a glorious matter, and the Queen Mother does not want to reveal it in public.
The three of them were taken away, and the Queen Mother used the excuse of being tired to go to the inner hall to question them.
The imperial physician was bandaging Xu Ke's wound. The wound was very deep and in a vital spot. Xu Ke grimaced in pain and did not look happy at all. Princess Anyang frowned as she watched.
Xu Ke now felt pain in his neck and felt helpless. He knew that Song Yu was interested in Jiang Yi, but he didn't know that Song Yu would be in Chaoyang Palace.
He realized belatedly that Jiang Yi had tricked him.
But no matter how to explain it now, Anyang must not know about what happened between him and Jiang Yi.
But Song Yu was a fearless person. He stole a glance at Song Yu, and Song Yu immediately glared back at him, "What are you looking at? Be careful or I'll dig your eyeballs out."
Xu Ke quickly looked away awkwardly.
Naturally, he didn't dare to do anything to this young prince. Now that the Song family controlled the court, although Prince Song was called the prince, he was almost equivalent to the crown prince.
Anyang said, "Whatever you are afraid of him doing, you still have this princess to support you."
"Song Yu, what's wrong with looking at you? Are you dead or something? Why can't people look at you?"
Just as the two masters were about to fight again, the Queen Mother walked in.
Princess Anyang, relying on the support of the Queen Mother, raised her eyebrows at Song Yu.
The Queen Mother was naturally not as naive as Anyang. She simply asked Song Yu, "What exactly happened just now?"
Xu Ke immediately looked at Song Yu nervously.
Song Yu pointed at Xu Ke, "That's him. It's such a blessing for a humble man like Wei Han to marry An Yang. But he doesn't know how to cherish her. He was just arguing with a palace maid. I felt sorry for An Yang when I saw this, so..."
His statement actually made the Queen Mother less dissatisfied with him. She looked at Xu Ke and asked, "Did you really flirt with a palace maid?"
Princess Anyang also looked at Xu Ke aggrievedly.
Previously, Princess Anyang had reached the age of marriage. She was very fond of the son of the Minister of Personnel, who was very talented and elegant. When the late emperor was still alive, she wanted to ask her father to arrange a marriage for her.
Unexpectedly, before the imperial decree of marriage came down, the man got engaged to Song's cousin.
Princess Anyang was sad about this for a long time.
Later, the Song family hosted a banquet for the group of successful candidates at that time, and also invited Princess Anyang. Princess Anyang originally did not want to go, but her aunt kindly invited her, so she went.
It was at that banquet that Princess Anyang met Xu Ke.
Xu Ke's appearance was very similar to the son of the Minister of Personnel, and since Xu Ke was also a scholar, Princess Anyang immediately decided that this man must be hers.
Although the original intention was not pure, Princess Anyang and Xu Ke have been married for four years and have given birth to a son and a daughter. During these years, Xu Ke treated Princess Anyang gently and considerately, and tolerated Princess Anyang's temper. Princess Anyang also developed some real feelings for Xu Ke.
She had never thought that Xu Ke would actually flirt with a woman other than her, and dared to do so. She looked at Xu Ke, wanting to hear an answer from him.
Xu Ke felt relieved a little, as long as Song Yu didn't give Jiang Yi away.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ke quickly said, "It was that palace maid who dropped her handkerchief. I picked it up for her, but I didn't expect it to be misunderstood."
Song Yu sneered when he heard this.
The Queen Mother quickly asked again, "Which palace maid is it?"
Xu Ke said, "I don't often go to the palace, and I just met her once. I have forgotten her name, let alone what she looks like."
The Queen Mother looked at Song Yu again, and Song Yu also said, "My nephew was only concerned with venting his anger on Anyang's behalf at the time, and didn't even bother to look at the appearance of that palace maid."
They tacitly reached a consensus on this point, and even if the Queen Mother wanted to investigate in detail, there was no way.
Anyang was still willing to believe Xu Ke. The most important reason was that she felt he wouldn't dare to flirt with others behind her back.
It's not just Xu Ke who doesn't dare. Which palace maid in the palace would dare to do that? Do they not want to live?
The same goes for Song Yu.
"Even if you stand up for me, you can't stab someone like this." Anyang complained dissatisfiedly.
Song Yu took a look and said, "I think this is not enough." He looked as if he didn't take Xu Ke seriously at all.
The Queen Mother looked at the wound on Xu Ke's neck and asked, "What was used to inflict this wound? It looks like a hairpin or something like that."
"Is the stuff still there?"
With this thing, we should be able to find out which palace maid it was and what happened at that time.
The Queen Mother intuitively felt that this matter was not simple.
Song Yu said, "It's lost."
The Queen Mother looked at him suspiciously.
Song Yu quickly added, "I left it in Chaoyang Palace. Auntie can ask someone to look for it. Whether they can find it or not is uncertain, after all, there were many people watching the excitement at that time."
The Queen Mother actually sent someone to investigate.
