Chapter 136: Searching for Medicine and Exploring the Ancient Tomb
"Are there no capable men in our Song family? Do we need you, the eldest young lady of the Song family, to act as a tomb robber?!" Song Qinzhou was so angry that he stammered after hearing her plan.
"Father... Daughter knows what she's doing..."
Seeing the two of them arguing, Song Chuyu frowned and said, "You shouldn't get involved in this matter anymore." It was simply too risky. If word got out, what would happen to the reputation of the eldest young lady of the Song family!
"Pa!" Song Qinzhou slapped the table with one hand. "From now on, you're confined to your home. You're not allowed to interfere in the matter of the medicine guide anymore..."
"Wait... Father, why are you so angry all of a sudden?" Hearing that she was confined again, Song Jinyu was extremely angry on the spot. Disregarding etiquette, she retorted to Song Qinzhou.
What tomb robber? She just wanted to go down to the tomb to retrieve a jade cicada. Was it really necessary to overreact like this?
Seeing her dissatisfaction, Song Chuyu kindly said, "Yuer, just stay at home. I'll lead some people to retrieve this jade cicada."
He understood his father's intention. After all, Song Jinyu was a woman. If something happened to her, it would be a huge problem. With the Tiger Guards General taking action, whether the mission succeeded or failed, at least the news wouldn't spread.
"I..." Seeing that she couldn't persuade her father, she turned to look at Song Chuyu, only to find that he was also on the same side as Song Qinzhou. He firmly refused to let her go in person.
Song Jinyu rubbed her throbbing forehead. "Brother, sister - in - law has just given birth to Lingyu. If something happens to you, what will happen to them, a widow and an orphan?" Out of desperation, she said something harsh, but Song Chuyu replied, "In any case, I won't let my sister take risks!"
Song Qinzhou stopped talking. Seeing that she couldn't persuade her father, Song Jinyu angrily slammed the door and left.
Niaoniao followed her and walked forward in a hurry. Micui wanted to stop her but failed. Just as she ran into her own courtyard, unexpectedly, the soldiers of the Tiger Guards Battalion suddenly locked her door!
This completely enraged Song Jinyu. "Fine... They even dispatched the Tiger Guards Battalion!" Song Chuyu was really something!
Thinking that the day she had an appointment with Ji Biluo was only three days away, she couldn't help but feel anxious. Song Jinyu knew the danger.
Precisely because she knew, she had told her father and brother.
However, she didn't expect that they didn't want her to take risks at all. After saving Suoli, the official career crisis of the Song father and son would also be resolved. But like Song Chuyu, Song Qinzhou didn't want his daughter to take risks. As the saying goes, parents who love their children must plan for their long - term future.
Song Jinyu was the real young lady of the Song Mansion. Although she had some skills, in the hearts of the father and son, she was just a little girl.
"Eldest young lady... Eldest young lady, don't be angry!" Seeing that she almost fell down in anger, Niaoniao couldn't help but feel scared.
When Yan Fei got the news and rushed over, he was also turned away.
"Don't come in!"
A delicate scolding completely extinguished Yan Fei's desire to come in and comfort her. Presumably, the father and son refused to let her go down to the tomb.
After all, she was the eldest young lady of the governor's mansion. It really didn't make sense for her to become a tomb robber for no reason. Yan Fei originally didn't agree with her taking risks. Now that he saw Song Jinyu successfully stopped by the Song father and son, it actually suited his wishes.
"..."
With both hands supporting her chin, her small face wrinkled into a ball. "Do I really have to ask him?" Oh... There was an eighty - percent chance that she would be rejected. With Ji Biluo around, what could happen to her? What was the difference between her brother going and her going?
Her little nephew had just been born. If something happened to Song Chuyu, what would happen to this child? The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it. She should have just done it without telling them in advance. Why did she make such a fuss and end up being confined?
The more she thought, the more anxious she became. There were many people standing outside the door. Most of them were her brother's men from the Tiger Guards Battalion guarding.
So annoying...
Actually, she wanted to go down to the tomb for another reason, which was to see if there were any medical books from a thousand years ago in the tomb. Although her medical skills had reached a high level, she still lacked some experience. Her master was suffering from a serious illness and needed a kind of yin grass as medicine. This yin grass was rare. Occasionally, it could be found in the black market, but it was usually mixed with other funerary objects by tomb robbers.
Therefore, she also wanted to take this opportunity to find the source of the yin grass for her master. If it really grew in the tomb, their Tianmen Mountain could just buy the yin grass from the tomb robbers in the future.
Who knew that the father and son simply wouldn't allow her to go. Apart from Zhongli Mingye, maybe if she pleaded with him, he would agree to this matter?
Should she just do it without telling them? Song Jinyu narrowed her eyes.
After Song Chuyu got the news, he discussed this matter with Zhongli Mingye and sent people to surround the ancient tomb. If there was really a way to save Princess Suoli, they could also resolve this crisis.
Therefore, although Zhongli Mingye didn't really care about Suoli's life and death, if it could save some trouble, he didn't mind cooperating.
However, according to Song Chuyu, the method she came up with to get rid of the gu poison required her to go down to the tomb in person. Now she was trapped in the governor's mansion and couldn't move. She must be very anxious. Thinking of Song Jinyu being like an angry little tiger, Zhongli Mingye couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. That smart girl was so lucky to have a group of family members who would protect her with their lives.
But when he saw Song Jinyu, seeing her stubbornly pleading with him, his mood suddenly dropped. "How are you so sure that this king will allow you to go down to the tomb?"
A beautiful hand tapped coldly on the desk. Looking at the delicate body wrapped in black clothes trembling slightly, he felt a bit reluctant.
To make the operation go more smoothly, Song Jinyu secretly changed into night clothes. With the assistance of Yan Fei and Cheng Song, she ran to the Prince Yu's Mansion at night. She actually hoped that Zhongli Mingye would agree to this matter and cooperate to keep Song Chuyu at home.
"He is a general of our Great Xia Dynasty. It is his inescapable responsibility to protect the safety of the common people!"
"As for you, a proper young lady, going tomb - robbing?" The more he said, the angrier he became. He really wanted to knock open her head to see what was inside.
Song Jinyu expected that he would be angry, but she didn't expect him to be this angry. "If I go, I'll be more confident than my brother..."
Then, regardless of Zhongli Mingye's opposition, she gently leaned forward. "Besides, I have the help of the famous tomb - robbing expert in the Jianghu. I'm sure to come out alive."
Ji Biluo would also try his best to help her for the sake of his unborn son.
"Humph..."
Zhongli Mingye coldly sized up Song Jinyu. Seeing her talking excitedly and reasonably, he couldn't help but pour cold water on her. "You've really got a good plan!"
At this moment, he wished that Song Jinyu was an ordinary boudoir girl, because he found that she was becoming more and more daring. Not only did she dare to abduct the princess in the capital and scheme against the emperor, but she also befriended tomb robbers and went tomb - robbing. Although her original intentions were good, if word got out, it would be a serious crime!
Having made up his mind, Zhongli Mingye clearly refused Song Jinyu. To make her give up, he grabbed Song Jinyu and said maliciously, "Give up. This king doesn't mind keeping you trapped in the mansion."
"By then, you won't be able to do anything!"
"..."
What was she here for today? To run from one cage to another?
