Chapter 172: Closed Door to Visitors



Zhao Yunzhu was uneasy when she saw the virtuous king leave early on horseback.

Song Shumin was still stunned in her place. She reminded him, "The virtuous king has already left."

Song Shumin finally came to her senses, but there was still a hint of fear in her eyes.

When she got on the carriage, she saw that the hem of her skirt was stained with blood.

This made her mind, which had just calmed down, fall into fear again, and she raised her hands and tore her coat randomly.

Linglong was afraid that the young lady would be accidentally injured, so she pulled her to sit on the other side.

Song Shumin's maid quickly took out another set of clothes from the carriage and comforted her to change her clothes.

"Bring a cup of hot tea to calm the princess down."

Zhao Yunzhu looked at Song Shumin's maid and gave her instructions.

The maid timidly agreed.

Song Shumin drank some hot tea, and her body gradually stopped shaking. She looked up at Zhao Yunzhu and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep today..."

"I thought you were used to it."

Zhao Yunzhu smiled helplessly.

After all, the wise king was fond of martial arts and had been fighting outside for many years. This was something everyone in Chang'an knew.

Song Shumin could only smile helplessly and shake her head.

"I thought this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon!"

"What exactly does the wise king plan to do today?" Zhao Yunzhu saw that her thoughts were still in confusion and did not have any hostility towards her.

He opened his mouth tentatively, hoping to get some information out of Song Shumin.

But she was disappointed in the end, because Song Shumin kept silent, shrank her neck, and seemed to want to wrap her entire body with the cloak.

"Princess. We're here." The grandmother's voice came from the carriage.

Song Shumin got off the carriage with the help of her maid.

Zhao Yunzhu followed behind.

Zhao Yunzhu was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

Because she was brought to the Liu family by the virtuous king.

The servants held torches high in their hands, the guards held swords in their hands, and wore armor. Their faces were solemn and they were ready to fight.

The three layers of guards inside and outside were all wearing armor.

The servant of the Liu family was hiding behind the door, and he was already shocked by the scene in front of him.

Where is this?

It’s Prime Minister Liu’s home!

It is also the family home of Empress Dowager Liu!

Someone actually came forward to cause trouble.

Just now, the servant of the Liu family stepped forward to scold him, but when he saw a guard throwing a black box at him, the servant instinctively dodged.

The box fell to the ground and the lid broke open. A black, round object inside rolled towards the boy who had just been released.

When the servant took a closer look, he was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

Because, he is the most loyal guard around the young master.

Prime Minister Liu returned from the palace and drank two more glasses of wine in Aunt Zhu's room.

Hearing the servant coming to report, he quickly walked outside to check the situation.

"A wise king?"

Prime Minister Liu saw the scene at the door and his expression froze. "What is happening to your Highness today..."

He looked at the guards brought by the wise king.

"Prime Minister Liu, I'm really sorry for today."

The virtuous king sneered and stepped forward, "Lord Liu, please consider my eagerness to find my son and don't bother with me. I promise to compensate the Liu family for all the damage they have done today!"

After saying this, the virtuous king didn't wait for Lord Liu to reply, and ordered his men to rush into the Liu family.

Prime Minister Liu was about to order someone to stop them, but the virtuous king ordered someone to hold him down instead. "Prime Minister Liu, I won't trouble you today. I'll find it myself."

The virtuous king rushed into the Liu family with his men.

Song Shumin pulled Zhao Yunzhu and followed.

Walking up to Prime Minister Liu, she waved to the virtuous king's men, signaling them to retreat.

"Prime Minister Liu, please don't blame me. The prince is worried about the crown prince. After all, the crown prince has been missing for over a month. I hope Prime Minister Liu will understand the virtuous prince's eagerness to find his son."

"By the way, in order to prevent Prime Minister Liu from misunderstanding, the prince specially invited Concubine Yun to be a witness today. This shows the importance Prime Minister Liu holds in the prince's heart."

Prime Minister Liu snorted lightly, ignored their meaning, turned around and rushed into the mansion.

He tried to stop the wise king, but now the Liu family was surrounded by people, and he couldn't send anyone out for help. He could only hope that someone would notice something unusual and send a message to the palace.

Zhao Yunzhu then understood that the virtuous king wanted to ask the Prince An's Mansion to help.

For now, we can only wait and see how things develop.

Act according to circumstances.

She was taken by Song Shumin straight to the Liu family's back garden.

The servants of the Liu family were all frightened and their faces turned pale.

When he reached the Chuigong Gate, he heard a scolding coming from inside.

The two quickened their pace.

I saw the long sword in the hand of the virtuous king against the chest of General Liu, and General Liu was holding the hand of the young master of the virtuous king's mansion, Qin Yihuai.

I haven't seen him for many days, and now the young master has a dull look on his face.

The light in his eyes was gone.

"My Lord, don't be angry!"

Song Shumin rushed forward and blocked the sword in the hands of the virtuous king. "Your Highness, we came here today to find Huai'er. Now that we have found her, let Empress Dowager Liu take care of the rest for us."

"I'm afraid the Queen Mother has been displeased by our behavior today. The most important thing right now is to investigate the matter thoroughly."

Song Shumin advised earnestly.

Seeing that the virtuous king's expression showed signs of softening, she walked up to General Liu, squatted down, took Qin Yihuai's hand from him, and reached out to ruffle his hair. "Huai'er, I finally found you. These days, your father and I have been worried about you for a long time."

"Let's persuade your father to go back together, okay?"

Song Shumin coaxed.

There was finally a slight change on Qin Yihuai's stiff face.

When Song Shumin opened her arms towards him, Qin Yihuai sniffed, his eyes reddened, and he threw himself into Song Shumin's arms.
