Chapter 148 The King of Qi is no longer able to survive
"Lin Huo is a good student and a handsome guy. It's not surprising that a girl likes him."
Listening to the tone, she sounded old and mature even though she was still a girl. Song Lan didn't know that Song Ci's age in both of her previous lives was enough to make her their elder.
"You don't have any ideas." Song Lan asked tentatively.
Song Ci suddenly understood what his brother was thinking and felt it necessary to explain it clearly to avoid future misunderstandings.
"I treat Lin Huo as an ordinary friend. I don't have any other thoughts."
After looking at her for a while, Song Lan confirmed that Song Ci really thought so and it was not just a perfunctory remark made by a shy girl. He felt happy and disappointed. He was happy that his sister did not want to get married and could stay at home for a few more years. He was sad that Lin Huo was a good person. He could see that the other party was unique in terms of character and talent. If he missed him, he might not be able to find such a good one in the future.
What's more, Lin Huo's feelings towards his sister are not innocent, and his thoughts are clearly shown on his face.
The next day, Tian'er brought Song Ci the good news that he had been waiting for for a long time.
"Old Prince Qi has been sick for a while now. The Emperor has sent many doctors to the palace to treat him, but no one has been able to find a cure. His condition has become serious these days, and even outsiders are saying that Old Prince Qi is seriously ill and looks like a dying man. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer..."
Tian'er said with a smile on her lips.
If she hadn't been fighting with the people from the Song family and hadn't had time to deal with this man, based on Song Ci's hatred for him, he would have died long ago.
The old prince Qi bullied men and women and did all kinds of evil. Relying on his status as a royal relative, the evil things he did outside could not be counted in a few days. In the previous life, Qiao Xianglan was tortured to death by him.
In this life, she has avenged her mother and those innocent and pitiful women who died.
As for how he got sick? There was no shortage of people infected with diseases in brothels. Song Ci promised to redeem her so that she could be free and live a carefree life in her last days.
The sick woman had lived in a brothel since she was a child. When she was young, she served her elder sisters there. When she grew up, she took over their positions. In her entire life, she had no chance to leave the brothel and see the outside world.
With such an opportunity in front of him, he naturally agreed immediately.
Song Ci also gave her a lot of silver, hoping that she would not have to worry about money in her last days. It is not an exaggeration to say that the madam of the brothel is a blood sucker. Such people have been in the brothel for their entire lives, and when they leave, they only have a hundred coins on them.
"Look, the weather has gotten better." Song Ci said meaningfully.
Tian'er seemed to understand and agreed, "Yes. This spring is so beautiful."
Wanxiang didn't understand what the two were talking about, but she knew that as long as the young lady was happy, she would be happy too.
As agreed, Song Ci came to Huai Zhen's house again.
Huai Zhen was a little surprised, with a faint smile on his lips, and the alienation, indifference and courtesy in his eyes were much less.
"I didn't expect you to come today." After Huai Zhen finished speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
Song Ci sat down and said, "Since I have made an agreement with my uncle, I will not go back on my word."
"Aren't you afraid?" Huai Zhen asked inexplicably.
After he asked this, Song Ci became even more certain that the house must be extraordinary.
“I’m afraid, but there are some things I have to do.”
Huai Jue stroked the teacup, thoughtfully, "Is the person who needs this medicine very important to you?"
Is Pei Ji important to Song Dynasty porcelain? The answer is of course yes.
The Song family's formidable nature had become apparent over the past few days. She could repel them countless times, but she couldn't land a fatal blow. In her previous life, the Song family was incredibly powerful, and only Pei Ji could hold them back, repeatedly causing them to suffer. She believed that with Pei Ji around, with him helping her, the Song family would never be able to rise again in this life.
"important."
The answer was as expected. Huai Jue curled his lips and said, "I once had a very important person..."
He obviously just mentioned it casually. He didn't continue to say who this person was, what his identity was, or the relationship between them.
The two drank tea quietly. Huai Zhen looked at Song Ci for the first time. Her hair was as black as satin, her skin was white and almost transparent in the sun, her body was frail, and her eyelids drooped, making her look pitiful and touching.
Although she is still young, it is not difficult to see that she will grow up to be a stunning beauty sooner or later.
He is a smart senior brother and has found a good apprentice for himself.
A breeze blew by, and a petal fluttered and hit Xuan'er and fell down. As luck would have it, it landed on Song Ci's hair.
Seeing Huai Zhen's look, the girl's charming face showed some confusion.
Huai Zhen thought about it, raised his hand and gently picked it up. Song Ci was watching the petals lying in the palm of his hand, floating away to another place with the spring breeze.
The falling of the flower broke the peace between the two.
Song Ci stood up and said, "I should go to the house."
Seeing her walk over resolutely, Huai Jue's Adam's apple rolled, "You don't have to insist..." He wanted to say that it was useless to keep the medicine for himself, so he might as well give it to Song Ci.
"I will do what I promised."
What was left for him was the girl's bright and boundless smile.
The fake smile on Huai Zhen's lips fell, and his expression became dazed for the first time.
Wanxiang followed behind and murmured, "Miss, do we really have to go..."
Song Ci continued walking, "If you're scared, you can wait for me outside."
"I, I'm not afraid. Besides, if I'm outside and something happens to the young lady, who can protect her?"
Seeing that she couldn't even speak clearly but still insisted on following him, Song Ci would be lying if he wasn't moved. Wanxiang was also so stupid in her previous life. She suffered a lot following him, but she was determined and never regretted it. She was still the same in her second life.
It was the second day when Pei Ji waited for the poison to wear off. After he regained consciousness, his complexion improved and finally had some color. Only then did A Lin feel relieved.
"Did anything happen when I was poisoned?"
Alin was about to say no, but then he fell silent. Actually, there was something, but he forgot about it because he was interrupted yesterday.
"Tell me, what's the matter." Seeing his expression, Pei Ji knew there was nothing he didn't understand.
"Yesterday, the young master was poisoned, and our people followed Miss Song, but they lost her... There was an obscuration in front of the mansion, and our people couldn't keep up..."
“Pah.”
Pei Ji dropped the bowl of soup in his hand, his face cold, "Why are you telling me this now?"
It was the first time that A Lin had seen Pei Ji with such an expression. "Young Master, the poison has taken effect. Naturally, I will prioritize you..."
Without caring about anything else, Pei Ji got out of bed, stood up and walked outside.
