Chapter 567 Everyone is in danger
Song Yuntang raised his head and glanced in his direction.
"You clearly cut off Prince Heng's escape route, so why did he still come?"
Judging from his expression, the emperor should be fine.
Otherwise, if the emperor was injured, the death knell would surely ring in the palace tonight.
The man looked calm.
"He doesn't know that we have cut off his retreat. The signal flares outside the city were obtained from the soldiers of the Northern Territory. The ones who set off the signal flares were actually the soldiers of the Western Territory and Langzi Pass."
Song Yuntang understood.
All is fair in war.
Li Chixiao is a conceited person and probably thinks that his arrangements are foolproof.
Little did he know that Xu Qingye had already secretly planned everything.
After applying the medicine, Song Yuntang re-bandaged Xu Qingye's arm.
At this time, the sky outside was already slightly bright.
"I've treated your wound. Go and rest first. I'll ask someone to get some medicine when it's daybreak. I'll boil it and drink it when you wake up."
"good."
The man responded and walked around the screen into the inner room.
After Song Yuntang washed his hands, he followed him in and gently moved Hao Ting to the outside of the bed.
"Hao Ting went to bed early yesterday, and he should wake up in a little while. You sleep inside. When he wakes up later, I will carry him out directly to avoid disturbing you."
Xu Qingye's arm injury was on his left arm, so he slept on his inside with his left arm against the wall so it wouldn't be bumped by the children moving around.
She was now nearly six months pregnant, and although it was not noticeable when she was wearing winter clothes, it was noticeable in the thin clothes she wore indoors.
Seeing that she was pregnant and waiting for him to come home, and was so considerate of everything, he held her hand with some heartache.
"You didn't sleep much at night, let's go together."
Song Yuntang thought about it, moved Hao Ting out again, and put a pillow on the side of the bed to prevent the child from falling.
After doing all this, she lay down next to Xu Qingye and put her arms around his waist.
"Go to sleep."
The man hummed and closed his eyes.
…
When Hao Ting woke up, it was already daybreak. Seeing his parents were still sleeping, he knew that they must not have slept well last night, so he did not want to disturb them.
Later, he felt bored lying in bed and felt hungry again, so he gently lifted the quilt and slid down the edge of the bed. After picking up his clothes, he ran towards the door like a thief.
Xu Qingye came back late because he was too tired and injured, so the child's slight movement did not wake him up.
Song Yuntang was a light sleeper and was worried that her son would wake up and disturb Xu Qingye. Her son's rustling movements beside her quickly woke her up.
She looked behind her and saw her son running out holding his clothes. She was worried that he would catch a cold, so she didn't dare to delay him.
After pulling his hand away from Xu Qingye's waist, he also lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
"Hao Ting!"
She called quietly and walked towards the child.
When Hao Ting heard the voice, he turned around, blinking his big eyes, still a little dazed.
"mother."
Song Yuntang knew that the child was sensible and didn't want to wake them up, so he reached out and touched his head, then bent down and carried him to the outer room.
"Why don't you call mother now that you're awake?"
“Mother has suffered a lot carrying my brother, but Hao Ting can get up by himself.”
He then looked down at her belly. Although he wanted to get off her, he didn't dare to move.
He leaned close to Song Yuntang's ear with a serious expression.
"Mom, will my brother be uncomfortable from being squeezed?"
Song Yuntang smiled.
"No, Hao Ting didn't squeeze his brother. Mother has been paying attention."
She held Hao Ting and sat down, while dressing him, she said, "It's so cold today, don't go outside without proper clothes on, you will catch a cold, do you know?"
"I know, mother." The child grinned heartlessly, "Mother is the best."
As he said that, he kissed her on the cheek.
Song Yuntang scratched his little nose lovingly.
"You are used to acting like a spoiled child." After dressing him, Song Yuntang put him down and whispered, "Hao Ting, wait for mother. Mother will get dressed and go out with you."
Hao Ting nodded.
"good."
After Song Yuntang put on his clothes, he took Hao Ting to the west wing.
After washing up in the west wing, the mother and son went to the front hall to have breakfast.
Jiang and Xu Yongwang knew that Xu Qingye came back late last night. Although they didn't know what happened in the capital, looking at the atmosphere in the past two days, they felt that it must be something complicated.
"Tang'er, Qingye hasn't woken up yet?"
Song Yuntang shook his head.
"No, something big happened in the palace yesterday, and he was a little injured when he came back. But don't worry, Dad and Mom, I have already taken care of it."
Living under the same roof, Xu Qingye asked the emperor for leave to recuperate at home, and he could not hide the fact that he was injured.
Saying it now might as well give them both some peace of mind.
Jiang and Xu Yongwang looked at each other, both of them with worry in their eyes.
After dinner, Song Yuntang handed the child to his parents-in-law. He first prescribed medicine for Xu Qingye and asked the servant to go to Xinglin Medical Clinic to get the medicine and boil it. Then he went back to the room to make a bandage for him to hang on his arm.
My arm is injured now, and using a bandage to fix it can prevent the wound from bursting open.
Xu Qingye woke up around noon.
When he woke up, Song Yuntang was beside him.
The light was dim last night and I couldn't see his face clearly.
She bent down and helped him up, and seeing that he was still pale, she looked worried.
"How do you feel?"
Judging from his condition, he must have lost a lot of blood last night.
Xu Qingye coughed twice and then comforted her.
"I'm fine, Tang'er don't worry."
Knowing that his injured arm made it difficult for him to move, Song Yuntang asked Jinshu to prepare water and breakfast, then he took out clothes for him to wear, and then took a bandage to fix his arm.
"It's best to keep this bandage on until the wound heals."
Xu Qingye nodded.
"good."
Song Yuntang helped him to the table.
"Yesterday, Hao Ting told me that he wanted to spend the winter at the hot spring villa. It just so happens that you have been on leave to recuperate at home these days. When you have recovered a little, we will go to Wangxu Villa, okay?"
The man nodded again.
"I'll listen to you." Then he said, "Wencheng should be able to come back in the next two days."
Song Yuntang was puzzled.
"Where did he go?"
Now that things have passed, it doesn't hurt to tell her.
"We went from the western border to Tongren Pass. It only takes three days to get from Tongren Pass to the capital. If everything goes well, we should be able to arrive today."
"Prince Heng was arrested?" Song Yuntang asked again.
“He was caught.”
Xu Qingye sat down at the table.
"He has many accomplices in the court. Last night, His Majesty ordered the arrest of some of them. Today, he should order people from various departments to continue to purge his accomplices."
Hearing this, Song Yuntang breathed a sigh of relief.
When I came to the capital before, I was very cautious in everything I did, for fear that Prince Heng's people would take advantage of me.
Even though she now has a certain foundation in the capital, she dare not relax at all.
Now that Prince Heng has been executed, there is finally one less hidden danger.
"Wouldn't it be dangerous for everyone in the capital who has some connection with him?"
