Chapter 19
"I'll take you to Liuyan Palace first. It's safe there." Song Ji looked at his clothes on Liang He, and an abnormal blush appeared on his face.
"good."
"General Song, have you seen my sister?" After Liang He escaped from danger, he was still thinking about Fu Jinwan.
"I didn't meet Miss Fu San, but the Imperial Guards have been brought here, so I believe there will be no danger." Song Ji thought Liang He was worried and wanted to reassure her.
Liang He was indeed a little worried about Fu Jinwan, but based on Fu Jinwan's fighting ability and IQ, there would probably not be any big problems.
It’s hard to say about the other two.
The two walked across the wooden bridge together and then walked into the palace.
Liang He and his companions did not encounter any crazy people on the road, but they did see rows of guards patrolling, and there were a lot of them.
When Song Ji saw the rows of imperial guards, his face darkened and he suppressed his anger.
He knew that this was another struggle within the palace, the struggle between the emperor and the eldest princess.
Apparently, the old emperor had a hand in this. He was deliberately trying to divert the imperial guards from the flower show to escalate the situation. If things got out of hand, the blame would naturally fall on the person who had organized the flower show—the eldest princess.
Lu Xiuyuan will be busy for a while. Thinking of this, Song Ji felt a little gloating.
Liang He watched Song Ji staring at the guard in deep thought, and realized that this accident was not that simple.
In terms of strategy, she can't compare with these people who have been dealing with power struggles since childhood.
"General." After Fude finished handling the matters that Song Ji sent him to do, he came to find Song Ji.
"How is it? Have those frightened people been taken back?" Song Ji asked when he saw Fude coming back.
"Almost all of them have been taken back, and some are still waiting for others." Ford continued.
Fude noticed that his general's clothes were worn by a woman, and he couldn't help but look at Liang He twice.
Isn't this the Miss Fu from the other day? She and the General are truly destined to be together. Is it because of Miss Fu that the General came to this flower show?
Fude thought about it and didn't move his eyes away from Liang He for a moment.
Seeing Fude staring at Liang He, Song Ji felt something strange and ordered, "Go over there and carry that woman over." Song Ji pointed to the small pavilion.
"General, this kind of work should be done by the guards. I am not suitable for it." Ford expressed his desire to refuse the job.
Ford had seen the official's daughter, and some of them had a bad temper. Although she had fainted, he still didn't want to carry her.
Seeing that Ford wanted to refuse, Song Ji frowned and asked, "Huh?"
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away!" Seeing this, Ford quickly slipped away.
Although the general is approachable, he can still be very fierce when necessary.
Song Ji knew that such matters should be handled by the Imperial Guards, but he saw that Fude was too idle today, so it would be okay for him to do more, and he could also exercise his arm strength, which was good.
Seeing Fude walking away, Song Ji said to Liang He, "It's possible that someone from the Fu family is also in Liuyan Palace. I'll take you there first."
Liuyan Palace is the eldest princess's residence in the imperial palace.
"Okay." Liang He replied obediently.
Looking at her obedient appearance, Song Ji wanted to reach out and touch Liang He's head. What he thought in his mind was put into action.
Song Ji ruffled Liang He's hair and tucked a strand of hair that was sticking to Liang He's cheek behind her ear. When his fingertips touched Liang He's warm cheek, Song Ji suddenly realized his ridiculous behavior and apologized quickly, "I... didn't mean that. I'm not a pervert. I just... I just didn't realize it..."
"Yes. General Song is upright, just, brave, loyal, kind and honest." Liang He did it on purpose, wanting to see Song Ji's panic.
This man looks vicious, but he is still quite innocent when it comes to matters between men and women.
Liang He will find out later that Song Ji is only innocent when it comes to love between men and women, but not necessarily in other aspects.
The blush on Song Ji's face became even redder, and his ears also turned a little red. Hearing Liang He's joking words, he suddenly became flustered and changed the subject, "Let's go to Liuyan Palace first, your sister may be there." After saying that, he strode ahead, trying to cover up his behavior just now.
How did he get so good at it? Song Ji slapped his forehead in frustration.
Song Ji walked in front for a while and found that he was walking too fast, so he looked back to see if Liang He was catching up.
Liang He walked behind Song Ji, looking at his flustered figure, but his face was as bright as a flower, and his smile did not diminish at all. "Song Ji, you are walking too fast, I can't keep up."
Liang He was soaked to the skin, and her skirt clung to her body, making her feel uncomfortable. Song Ji's clothes were too big and long for her, hindering her strides.
Song Ji slowed down his pace, and seeing that Liang He hadn't caught up, he stopped. Song Ji looked at Liang He who was slowly approaching him. In the past, he would have thought that Liang He was just like those young ladies from official families, pretentious and weak.
But now think about it, a woman walked to return the jade pendant to him, did not cry when she was bullied, and jumped into the lake to save her life... without fear of drowning.
In fact, Fu Jinchu was not as weak as he thought. Instead, he was very brave. His bravery was not like Xu Yin's, but was in his bones.
By the time Liang He caught up, Song Ji had already come to his senses.
Song Ji saw Liang He jogging towards him when he was still a few steps away from him, holding his dark red robe in both hands, and his steps were heavy. Song Ji's well-defined face seemed to be illuminated by soft light, gentle and comfortable, and as if caressed by a breeze, gentle and indifferent.
"General Song, you have long arms and long legs, but I don't. You suddenly quickened your pace and I couldn't keep up for a while." Liang He muttered and complained to the man in front of her. Her two beautiful eyes stared at Song Ji for a while, and then she rolled her eyes unconsciously, and all of this was reflected in Song Ji's eyes.
"Then I'll walk slower, and you follow closely." As Liang He approached, Song Ji felt his heart race. He wasn't usually like this...
"Okay." Liang He was very satisfied with Song Ji's answer and smiled sweetly at him. Just like a child who got candy, he instantly became happy.
When Song Ji saw the dimples on Liang He's cheeks, he suddenly remembered why he had never seen them before. Fu Jinchu looked really pretty when she smiled.
Well...still cute.
The sun is not very bright today, and there are rows of cumulus clouds floating in the sky. The breeze blows the leaves above the red wall, and a few green leaves fall from the sky, happily colliding with the brown ground.
There was a faint fragrance in the air, surrounding Song Ji. He didn't know what kind of flower it was, but he just felt it was very fragrant and sweet, just like Fu Jinchu's smile, very sweet.
Song Ji secretly glanced at Liang He on his left shoulder, but was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to stare at her for too long. He glanced at her a few times, then looked guiltily to the sky to the right.
After about an incense stick of time, Song Ji brought Liang He to Liuyan Palace.
Just as they were about to go in, Song Ji suddenly pulled Liang He around to the back door of Liuyan Palace.
Liang He looked at him in confusion.
"Well, it's not good if you're seen like this." Song Ji thought that if Liang He was seen wearing his clothes like this, they might say something about her being "improper" or something, which would be bad for her reputation.
Then, Song Ji took Liang He in through the back door.
They climbed over the wall again.
"Madame Liu, it's me." Song Ji looked at Madame Liu who was about to call for help and spoke out to stop her.
"General Song." A hoarse voice lingered in Liang He's ears.
Nanny Liu happened to pass by the back door and wanted to see if it was bolted securely. When she saw someone climbing over the wall, she thought it was an assassin. Just as she was about to call for help, she heard Song Ji's voice. Although she was surprised why he was there, she knew he must have a reason.
After seeing that it was Song Ji, she then noticed Liang He next to her. Seeing that Liang He was wearing clothes that were obviously inappropriate and her hair was still wet, Madam Liu guessed that she had fallen into the water.
"General Song, you made me jump like this. I thought you were an assassin. That's what happens when you do that."
"Why did you come in through the back door?" Aunt Liu was puzzled. She wouldn't have been stopped from entering through the front door, so why would she think of going in through the back door?
But after looking at Liang He, he understood.
"Her clothes are wet. Please ask Madam Liu to change her into girls' clothes." Song Ji glanced at Liang He and said.
"Well, I'll go tell the princess and see if there's any suitable clothing for this young lady."
"Thank you, Ma'am Liu." Liang He walked closer to Ma'am Liu and said thank you.
"Miss, please follow me into the house first."
Liang He and Nanny Liu went in, and Song Ji was still waiting outside.
Song Ji looked at the big tree, remembered the silly things he and Lu Xiujin did when they were young, shook his head and smiled.
——
Here, Liang He was taken to the courtyard where the princess usually lived. When Nanny Liu brought over a bright red long dress, she thought it might be Princess Jingrou's dress.
It was indeed. That dress was what Princess Jingrou wore before she got married, and it still fit her perfectly.
"So beautiful." Aunt Liu praised.
The skirt was bright red, and she wore a dark red top with auspicious cloud patterns on the outside. The belt was white and red, and Liang He hung her jade pendant on it.
Nanny Liu also helped her put on makeup, including lip balm, blush, etc. Liang He thought it was unnecessary to go through so much trouble, but Nanny Liu said it was Princess Jingrou's idea.
"The princess said that when you wear this dress, you should wear this kind of makeup." After saying that, she put a plum blossom on Liang He's forehead. Unlike the pure and gentle look just now, now she looks unique and charming.
When Song Ji saw Liang He coming out, the surprise in his eyes was so strong that it could be seen. When Aunt Liu saw this, she smiled secretly.
When Nanny Liu told Princess Jingrou that Song Ji brought a girl in from the back door, Princess Jingrou knew that Song Ji treated Miss Fu differently, so she asked Nanny Liu to help the girl dress up.
If the princess had seen General Song staring at a girl like this, she would surely be filled with admiration.
"Your clothes." Liang He handed the dark red robe to Song Ji and found that the other party was looking at her with very passionate eyes. This made her a little embarrassed, so she coughed twice.
System: Xiao Hezi~tsk tsk, you’re shy.
Liang He: Shut up.
Song Ji rolled his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, took the robe, and felt that the inside of the clothes was a little wet. Thinking of Liang He's wet body for such a long time, he frowned. He had overlooked it.
"Then you follow Madam Liu in and drink some ginger soup to drive away the cold. It's not convenient for me to go in from here, so I'll leave first." After saying that, she picked up her clothes and climbed over the wall and left.
Song Ji stood outside for a while, and when he heard the footsteps getting weaker, he sighed. He looked at the dark red robe in his hand, paused, and then put it on.
He smelled that familiar fragrance. It turned out to be her scent. As expected, people also have sweet scents.
Song Ji chuckled softly, and his bright eyes seemed to have thought of something again, and the smile in his eyes became more wanton.
Song Ji looked at the red wall and suddenly remembered the day when he climbed over the wall to enter Fu's house. It seemed to be the same as now, but he did not hear the words that made him tremble with fear. However, his heart was already surging like a flood, penetrating into his heart.
At this moment, many things appeared in his mind, all of which were Fu Jinchu's face.
Song Ji looked at the red walls and green tiles in the distance, smiled foolishly, and strode towards Liuyan Palace.
——
Liang He: System, is it too late to find Fu Jin?
System: Something big is happening... The hero and heroine are bound to meet.
This means that Fu Jinwan and Lu Xiuyuan are together now.
Liang He: What about those two people? Where did Fu Jinxi and Zhang Pianran go? Were they killed?
System: No, still alive.
System: Xiao Hezi, work harder! Take down Song Ji, and the mission is accomplished. Judging by his behavior, he's clearly devoted to you. Besides, you've already severed the one-way red line between Song Ji and Fu Jinwan, eliminating half of the internal troubles and overcoming the external ones. Hehe, soon, you'll be the general's wife!
Liang He: But now Song Ji and I are also on a one-way red line!!! When will there be a two-way red line?!
Liang He silently clenched her little fists and was about to start exerting force.
She didn't know that the one-way red line was about to become a two-way red line.
