It is still Eunuch Zhang who comes.
At the sight of him, the Minister of Household Affairs’ heart, which had already sunk to the bottom, lifted up sharply.
He had been in a high position for many years, so he naturally knew how to read people’s minds. Eunuch Zhang had a warm smile on his face, and what he brought was obviously not bad news.
“Lord Shang Shu ……”
As soon as Eunuch Zhang opened his mouth, the Minister of Household Affairs’ heart once again skipped a beat and his lips twitched.
“Cultivator Song put in a good word for you in front of the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince changed his mind and allowed you to take the position of Minister of Household again, Lord Shang Shu should remember this kindness.”
“Cultivator Song, Cultivator Song?”
“Yes, Cultivator Song Si Song.”
The Minister of Household had mixed feelings in his heart, he had never expected in any way that Song Si had not fallen on his sword and even helped him plead before the Crown Prince.
He bowed deeply towards Eunuch Zhang, “Please also ask Eunuch Zhang to go back and tell His Highness the Crown Prince that I know that I will definitely remember this kindness of Cultivator Song.”
……
At this time, Song Si did not know that the crown prince had sent Eunuch Zhang to the Household Department’s Shang Shu’s residence to say such words.
After coming out of the palace, he went to the Hanlin Academy.
The Prince’s decree had already arrived at the Hanlin Academy, and all the officials of the Hanlin Academy were extremely enthusiastic when they saw Song Si, especially Sun Jin.
When Song Si was the first prize winner, he was supposed to be a Cultivator in the Hanlin Academy, but the Emperor was annoyed with him for refusing to give him a marriage and made Song Si a Cultivator, and Sun Jin became a Cultivator.
“Congratulations to Brother Song.”
It had been a long time since they had seen each other, and Song Si smiled, “I’m free today, let’s have a few drinks later?”
Since having a child, Sun Jin had become a child slave and hesitated slightly at his words, but in fact there was another reason for his hesitation, only he could not say.
“Brother Song, go and do the formalities first, then come to my house later.”
“Okay.”
Song Si had already been in the Hanlin Academy, so the formalities were completed quickly, and he went to Sun Jin’s house afterwards.
As a scholar, and as a horse in harness, Sun Jin had a separate room to himself.
After closing the door behind him, Sun Jin poured tea for Song Si and said with a smile, “I never thought that Song Yin would be the son of King Qin.”
He had met Song Yin a few times, and at that time, he thought that Song Yin was not good enough for Song Wan Yue, not to mention his background, and not even with his broken left hand.
Now, it seemed that he had been short-sighted.
But ……
The smile on his face faded as he thought about his late-night sleeplessness speculation.
This is all too coincidental, Song Wangyue befriended the Qinwang Shizi after a trip to the border, and the two fell in love at first sight, while the Logistics King Shizi returned to the capital injured, and a series of things happened in the capital.
It was hard for him not to want to think more.
“Not to mention you, I didn’t even think about it, when my in-laws and I heard about it, we thought our ears were broken, and we didn’t believe it until the moment we went to Prince Ding’s residence and saw Chu Yunxiao.”
Song Si laughed.
It was a laugh that came from within.
The corners of her eyes were stretched.
Unlike the old days, when even a smile was restrained for a few moments.
“Anyway, now that the dust has settled, you can stay in the Hanlin Academy without fear from now on.”
“Mm.”
There was a thumping on the door, and an urgent voice followed, “Horse in harness, something’s happened!”
Hearing the voice of his personal servant, Sun Jin got up and walked to the door to open it, and the servant said in an urgent voice, “Someone from the palace says that the princess has gone into the palace in a hurry.”
Sun Jin’s heart tightened.
He had given a gagging order to the people in the palace, nothing about the Emperor could be passed on to the Princess, so the Sixth Princess did not know what was happening in the palace. Now that she had suddenly hurried into the palace, she must have heard something.
Unable to return to the palace to investigate, Sun Jin turned around, “I’ll go and take a look, we’ll meet again another day.”
“You go quickly.”
Sun Jin hurriedly left the Hanlin courtyard.
……
Eunuch Zhang walked quickly into the imperial study, “Your Highness, the Sixth Princess has entered the palace and said she wants to see the Emperor.”
The crown prince’s hand reviewing the folding documents gave a beat, and then said, “Granted.”
……
The Sixth Princess couldn’t believe her eyes.
The man with white hair and old age in front of her was her once majestic father.
“Father, what is wrong with you?”
The Sixth Princess’ voice trembled.
She had only not been in the palace for a period of time, how could her father have become like this?
The Emperor’s resigned eyes burst into light as he lunged forward and grabbed the Sixth Princess, “Qin’er, only you can save Father! Father is about to be tortured to death by them.”
When had Father ever been in such a state of distress, Princess Six’s heart ached, “Who is torturing you?”
The Emperor gritted his teeth, “It was Consort Xiao Xian and the Crown Prince, it was them, they drugged me, put me in a coma, took advantage of the opportunity to seize my power, forced me to issue an edict of guilt, and made me abdicate.”
The Sixth Princess couldn’t believe it.
Big brother and second brother had been relegated to a desolate land, third brother had died, and only fourth brother could inherit the throne, so why did they have to be so impatient and force their father’s hand like this?
“Why, why?”
“Because I found out that Yi’er and your mother consort were both killed by them!”
Something exploded in the Sixth Princess’s head, blasting her body for a few moments.
In her impression, Consort Xiao Xian had always been a bland presence, although she occasionally fought for favour, she never used the same underhanded tactics as the other women in the harem, and her fourth brother was even more well-behaved, calling her sister affectionately every time she saw him, and she had once loved this younger brother as her own.
All of this turned out to be an illusion, something they used to confuse everyone, the purpose being the position of father.
“I will publish what they have done to the public!”
The Sixth Princess turned around and was about to walk out, but the Emperor pulled her back, “It’s useless, they are now in power, even if you tell them, no one will believe you, and they might even anger them and put you under house arrest. ”
The Sixth Princess was reluctant!
She could accept her fourth brother as Crown Prince, and she could accept Consort Xiao Xian as Empress to be buried with her father in the future, but she could not accept them in this way.
How innocent was her mother consort, and how innocent was her third brother!
The emperor let him go and walked back to the bed, opened the secret compartment on the bed and took out the tiger talisman and handed it to her, “Take this and go to Liu Jiang, the current commander of the feathered forest army, tell him that I am under house arrest and ask him to bring troops into the city to rescue me! Remember, be calm when you go out, don’t let them find out the end.”
The Sixth Princess took the tiger talisman with shaking hands and tried to tuck it into her own arms, but was stopped by the Emperor, “Put it on your personal palace maid, don’t let them find out.”
The Sixth Princess called her servant girl in and hid the tiger talisman on her.
“Qin’er, whether Father can see the light of day again depends on you, you must not let Father down.”
“Father, don’t worry.”
The Sixth Princess’ voice was firm.
She would definitely save her father from going out, and she would definitely let the world know the true nature of Consort Xiao Xian and Chu Feng.
……
Inside the imperial study, Eunuch Zhang came in again to report, “Your Highness, the Sixth Princess has come out.”
“Invite Imperial Sister to the Hall of the Nurtured Heart for a chat.”
“Yes.”
……
The Sixth Princess was halfway down the road when she was stopped by Eunuch Zhang with his men.
