“Thank you very much, Lord Shang Shu.”
Song Wangyue smiled with joy.
The Minister of Household did not even want to see more of her and waved her out.
Song Wan Yue didn’t mind either, so she took the signed IOU and went out the door, letting the man who had just led her to Song Si.
Song Wan Yue had been gone for a little over two months and no news had come back, so Song Si was a bit restless these days, sitting in his chair and dazed, when he suddenly heard someone report outside, “Squire Song, Miss Song is here.”
He froze for a moment, then rose to his feet, striding over to the door and opening it.
Song Wan Yue stood at the door with a smile, “Big brother.”
“When did you get back?”
Song Si asked as he surveyed her, seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, the heart he had carried for days fell back.
“I’ve just returned, and I’ve come to ask for silver from Lord Shang Shu.”
He said, shaking the IOU in his hand.
Song Si had so many things she wanted to ask her, but knew it wasn’t the right time, so she turned back and closed the door, “I’ll lead you there.”
With Song Si present, the people from the Ministry of Household did not dare to make things difficult for her, and neatly gave Song Wangyue the silver cheque.
With so many silver tickets Song Si naturally couldn’t let her go back alone, “I’ll take you back.”
The reason Song Wangyue came to the Ministry of the Household first to ask for silver was to tell him about what had happened at the border.
Song Si gave a word to his colleague, went out of the Household Ministry with her, got into the carriage, and after walking out of a street just couldn’t resist asking ……
Song Wangyue spoke up first and told him what happened at the border.
Hearing that the third prince had detected that Song Yin was Gu Yi, no, it was Chu Yunxiao, Song Si’s heart tightened and tightened, “Jean since he found out, naturally he won’t be so good at it, in case the emperor finds out ……”
“The emperor will not know for a while ……”
Song Wan Yue said with certainty, “The third prince is only guessing, and has not been confirmed, so he will not report to the emperor in a short time, not to mention that he does not have this opportunity now, Uncle Shen has been shutting him down. I’ve also asked the Second Prince to meet me later to tell him about the Third Prince as well.”
“Tell the Second Prince?”
Song Si was shocked.
Song Wangyue nodded, “The Third Prince is an imperial son after all, even Uncle Shen can’t do anything to him, even less can we get him killed, we can only let the Second Prince do it.”
Song Si immediately understood what she meant and opposed without thinking, “No, it’s too risky!”
Letting the Third Prince know that Gu Yi was Chu Yunxiao was a capital crime, and likewise, letting the Second Prince know was also a capital crime.
“Don’t worry big brother, he and I have already planned it out, we won’t make any mistakes.”
Song Si was about to say something else when he heard a low and unfamiliar voice ring out from outside, “Miss Song, His Highness has asked me to bring you over.”
“Good.”
Song Si took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
The carriage walked for a long time and arrived in front of an ordinary mansion.
The two of them got off the carriage and went in with the dark guards. The inside was empty and without any semblance of smoke and fire, obviously no one lived there on a regular basis.
The second prince had been waiting for a long time, and he had come here eagerly when he got the news from the secret guards. The news that made Song Wangyue so eager to tell him must not have been ordinary!
“Greetings, Your Highness the Second Prince.”
The two men saluted.
Not expecting Song Si to be there, the Second Prince gave a false support and looked towards Song Wan Yue.
Song Wan Yue smiled and said, “I went to the Ministry of Accounts to settle the silver, and my elder brother didn’t feel at ease that I was carrying so many silver notes home alone, so he sent me back on purpose.”
The Second Prince understood and gestured for the two to sit down, asking eagerly, “What does Miss Song have to tell me?”
Song Wangyue glanced outside.
The Second Prince understood, “Don’t worry, there will be no ears through the wall.”
Song Wangyue nodded, but still lowered her voice, “I’ve gotten word that the Emperor isn’t really deporting the Third Prince to Youzhou, but using this as an excuse for him to investigate someone.”
“Checking what kind of person?”
The second prince asked subconsciously.
“The son of that year’s King of Qin, Chu Yunxiao.”
The Second Prince rose to his feet, “Say it again, who are you checking?”
“The son of the diligent king back then, Chu Yunxiao.”
The Second Prince heard it clearly, his pupils fiercely shrinking for a moment, his voice trembling, “Is the information true?”
Song Wangyue nodded her head.
The Second Prince fell back into his chair.
He had felt that something was wrong when his father had relegated Lao-san to Youzhou. The emperor had secretly entrusted him with an important task.
The son of the King of Qin had always been a thorn in his father’s side, and they all knew it. The first thing you need to do is to find out what you can do.
“As far as I know, the third prince has already got an eyebrow, if we let him find out, Your Majesty ……”
The second prince interrupted her sharply, “Does Miss Song know who it is that he has found out?”
Song Wan Yue shook her head, “I don’t know about that.”
The Second Prince stood up, “Thank you for telling me, Miss Song, I will leave first, I will thank you again another day.”
After saying that, without waiting for Song Wan Yue to speak, he hurriedly went out.
Song Si wiped the cold sweat from her hands without a trace, and stood up as well, “Let’s go.”
At the same time, the border gate.
Shen Yan rode up to the mansion where the Third Prince was being held, stopped his horse, rolled down, and walked straight in.
Having been imprisoned for over a month and receiving no news from outside at all, the Third Prince was going crazy. Every day he would shout at the soldiers guarding him that he wanted to see Shen Yan, and today he did the same, “I want to see Shen Yan, go and get him for me!”
“What does the Third Prince want from me?”
Hearing this familiar voice, the Third Prince snapped his eyes over and seeing that it was really Shen Yan, he immediately came over with big steps, “Shen Yan, if you don’t let me out, I will go to ……”
“The Third Prince can go now.”
The third prince froze for a moment before reacting to what he was saying and was ecstatic, “Really?”
“Yes.”
The Third Prince took a big step outside, and his staff hurried to follow, but before the two of them could get very far, they heard Shen Yan’s voice coming from behind them, “The Emperor has decreed that this General should send someone to escort the Third Prince back, and strictly ordered the Third Prince not to come back to Border City in the future.”
The Third Prince’s steps stopped abruptly and he turned back, “Impossible! Father could not have said that.”
Shen Yan ordered in a cold voice, “Men, escort the Third Prince back to Youzhou!”
Immediately, people came forward and surrounded the two men.
“Shen Yan, you dare!”
In fact, even if Shen Yan did not rush, the Third Prince was still going to leave the Border City. He only had one staff member with him, so even if he wanted to investigate something, he did not have the manpower, but Shen Yan was insulting him by doing so.
“This is the Emperor’s decree, so please don’t resist, Third Prince.”
“You ……”
The Third Prince was furious.
“Take care of the Third Prince on the way, don’t let him bump and bruise.”
“Yes.”
The Third Prince flung his sleeves and angrily headed out, just as he stepped out of the doorway, he saw a fast horse galloping in, and when he reached the front, the man on the horse jumped down and ran straight past him, “General, it’s not good, the enemy is sneaking in.”
