The Sixth Princess was his wife and did not use her status as a princess to oppress him after they became married, the couple had a harmonious relationship, and Sun Jin was genuinely fond of the Sixth Princess. Now that the Sixth Princess was seven months pregnant again, he was afraid that if anything happened, the Sixth Princess and the child in her belly would be in danger.
Song Wan Yue waited for his next words.
Sun Jin gritted his teeth, “I don’t want anything to happen to my wife and child, but Brother Song I won’t ignore it either, I can go to the Wu family on behalf of the Sixth Princess and give them the word.”
Song Wan Yue shook her head, “With the Third Prince dead, the Wu family is completely hopeless, you going there they may not necessarily agree, the Sixth Princess going there is different, she can promise to keep the lives of the Wu family and can persuade Consort Shu to let go.”
“Of course, you can also choose not to let the Sixth Princess intervene, I will think of other ways, but this beam will also be made, in the future our two families will definitely be opposing each other, you will definitely be caught in the middle of a difficult situation. Besides, my elder brother only has such a good friend as you in the capital, I don’t want him to not even have someone to talk to in the future.”
Sun Jin’s hand clenched his tea, how could he not have only one good friend in Song Si, they were together, they didn’t have to be guarded, they could say whatever they wanted, unlike those people who treated him one way on the surface and another way behind his back.
The room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Song Wangyue also did not rush him to make a decision, picking up her tea and slowly sipping it.
“As, if ……”
After a long time, Sun Jin spoke with difficulty, “If anything happens to the Sixth Princess, can you keep her and the child in her belly alive.”
Song Wangyue put down her tea and said honestly, “It depends on what the situation is, as long as the person doesn’t only have one breath left, I can save the adult’s life.”
As for the child, she couldn’t guarantee it.
Sun Jin was once again silent.
Song Yin held up the tea jar and filled it with water for Song Wangyue.
Whenever he ran out of water in his tea, she would refill it in time, and even help him with his back when he came home exhausted, as a high and mighty princess, she must have liked him very much.
……
He closed his eyes and stood up, “You wait for my news.”
“Many thanks.”
Sun Jin waved his hand, left the teahouse, got on the carriage and made his way back to the sidekick’s residence.
The Sixth Princess walked over with her large belly and helped him take off his official uniform, “Why are you back late today?”
Sun Jin handed the official uniform to the maid, helped her sit down, dismissed all the servants in the house and looked at her, “I went to see Song Si. Song Wan Yue said that Song Si’s poison began to fester in her internal organs and eventually entered her heart and lungs. She can’t cure this poison either, I ……”
Sun Jin paused.
The Sixth Princess looked at him and was a bit flustered, although the sidekick was born into a merchant family, his nature was very innocent, he could see through what was on his mind at a glance, that was why she liked the sidekick, she didn’t know how much of the deceitfulness she had seen in those years in the palace, she was really tired of that kind of life.
“Does the sidekick still suspect that it was my mother’s consort who made the move?”
Sun Jin nodded slowly.
The Sixth Princess violently swatted away his hand and stood up angrily.
Sun Jin went without coaxing her as he had done before.
Her eyes turned red with anger, “Mother Consort wouldn’t lie to me.”
“But apart from your mother consort and the Wu family, no one else in the capital will lay a hand on Brother Song.”
“Why wouldn’t they? He has been in the Household Department for several years and has offended many people, so what makes you think that my mother consort did it? Do you treat my mother consort as family or the Song family as family?”
The Sixth Princess had been favoured since she was a child, and her temper was not exactly good. When she married Sun Jin, something had happened to the Third Prince, and without a strong dependency, she had tightened up a bit, but when Sun Jin repeatedly doubted his mother consort, she could not suppress it even if she had tightened up well.
Sun Jin looked at her heaving stomach and stretched out his hand to try to help, the Sixth Princess took two steps back, her scarlet eyes red, “You will make it clear today, is my mother consort treated as family, or is the Song family treated as family?”
Sun Jin is the only son of the family, he has been spoiled since childhood, naturally he has his own temper, the sixth princess questioned like this, he is also angry, but has not lost his calmness, “Song Si may have offended people in the Ministry of Household, but those are court officials, they dare not so openly retaliate, only your mother consort, she counted your brother’s death on the Song family. ”
“Song Si is my brother, I can’t just watch him die of poison. I asked you to help ask for the antidote because I don’t want my mother consort to be an enemy of the Song family again.”
“It’s true that Song Si is a member of the Song family, but he is also the grandson-in-law of the Duke of Ding, they won’t put up with this, and neither will Consort Xiao Xian, once she joins forces with others against Her Ladyship Shu, Her Ladyship Shu will have an even harder time in the palace.”
“It’s true that the Emperor favours Niang Fei Niang, but with your brother dead and without a son by his side, how long can this favour last? When the time comes that he turns a blind eye, your mother consort will be even more miserable.”
“Stop it!”
She had married and left the palace, but her mother was still there, and as the sidekick had said, without her brother, how long would her father’s favour last?
Sun Jin was distressed but did not go up to him to appease him. The emperor had not made a crown prince until now, and officials were privately discussing that the emperor was waiting for the fourth prince to grow up and pass the throne to him, and if that was true, Shu Fei was digging her own grave when she allowed the Wu family to lay hands on Song Si.
“Miss Song promised me that she would give the antidote and everything before would be written off, and as long as Mother Consort is well, when the day comes we will take her out to retire, so that she can live out her old age with her grandchildren in syrup.”
The Sixth Princess was moved, this was something she had never thought of, a woman in the palace, even if the Emperor died, it was impossible to come out, and so was her mother consort.
“You, you are telling the truth?”
“Naturally, it is true.”
Sun Jin took the opportunity to step forward and take the person in his arms, gently soothing her, “When have I ever lied to you? Even if your eldest or second imperial brother were to sit in that position, I would still have a way to get Lady Shu out, provided that the antidote is given to Song Si first, so that he can live.”
The Sixth Princess bit her lips, her earlier anger having completely receded and regaining her senses, “But ……”
“You can go directly to the Wu family and promise them some benefits, I think your uncle will take it out.”
A quarter of an hour later, the Sixth Princess and Sun Jin left the sidekick’s residence in an ordinary carriage and went to the Wu family in the north of the city.
At the same time, Wu Sheng also returned to the Wu family in a joyful mood, expecting to see Wu Jin’s praise waiting for him, but instead he saw Wu Jin with a sullen face, “If you can’t even manage to acknowledge this little matter, what’s the difference between you and a waste?”
Wu Sheng was dumbfounded and froze in place.
