At the Prince Yu Mansion, Yuanbao cried non - stop. Lady Xiang was heart - broken. This child was just born not long ago, yet his mother had vanished. Rong Shuang'er and He Yi often came to help take care of the baby.
"Look at this child. It's truly a mother - child connection," He Yi said while teasing Big Yuanbao with a rattle. Rong Shuang'er had just brought in the new baby clothes made by the Zhongzhou Prince Mansion. "I hope Jin Yu is safe."
He Yi felt sad. At the moment, all the men were out searching for Concubine Shu and the Princess of Yu. Cheng Song and Yu Nianbai were guarding the imperial palace, on high alert.
That day, there was still no news. Song Qinzhou saw Prince Yong, Zhongli Mingxi, appear outside the imperial city. "Your Highness..."
"May I have a pot of tea with you, sir?" He stroked his beard, and a glint flashed in his eyes. Prince Yong knew that Song Qinzhou was a remarkable person to have become the prime minister of the Daxia Dynasty in such a short time.
He was hesitating whether to go when Wei Changyuan and Cheng Song came with their swords hanging on their waists. After saluting, they simply stood behind Prime Minister Song.
With a sigh, he had no choice but to follow Song Qinzhou to the prime minister's mansion. "Your Highness, please..."
After a pot of tea, Prince Yong left the prime minister's mansion with a pale face. His initial thoughts were completely shattered by this conversation.
"Your Highness, perhaps you think that the Daxia throne belongs to you..."
"But if you hold it, it may not be stable..." The teacup was put down heavily. "Once it's dropped, you'll never be able to pick it up again!"
"Prince Cheng is an example."
Song Qinzhou stared at Prince Yong and suddenly smiled. "Your Highness is a smart man who knows how to assess the situation."
Prince Yong understood that the order of birth didn't matter at all. He immediately gave up his thoughts and returned to his mansion. Suo Li was holding her daughter and just happened to be enjoying the flowers in the garden.
Seeing him in a depressed mood, she let go of her daughter. The princess ran towards him at full speed. Prince Yong caught her soft little body, and his heart seemed to bloom. Suddenly, he figured it out.
Rather than ending up like Zhongli Chengze and Zhongli Shuoyi, with their families ruined, it was better to cherish the current peaceful days. Prince Yong, Zhongli Mingxi, made his choice.
"Go to the Minjiang River!"
"Assemble the navy and head for the Minjiang River immediately!"
Zhongli Mingye didn't dare to stop for a moment. After learning that there were suspicious fishing boats on the Minjiang River, he assembled the navy. "Chu Yu, you're in charge of this matter."
"Uncle, mobilize ten thousand archers!"
His sinister look was chilling. "If they dare to harm this king's mother and wife, I'll have them pierced by ten thousand arrows!"
"This king will surely exterminate the entire Ouyang family from the Daxia Dynasty!"
"Yes!"
Song Chuyu and Ming Ruyi received the order and immediately went to make arrangements. Zhongli Mingye's gaze fell on the pavilion by the river. At that time, they had their dates in the Qingli Pavilion in Liuzhou City and fished on the river. How was she...?
Since he met Song Jinyu, Zhongli Mingye felt that even the most difficult things were meaningful and gave him more courage. That woman had given him not only tenderness but also intimacy and complete love.
His clenched fist betrayed his emotions. Now she was gone. Song Jinyu, if you dare to die in front of this king, even if I have to chase you to the underworld, I'll bring you back.
He had long been determined about her. Before, he only thought that he loved her far more than she loved him. Now... Zhongli Mingye finally knew that this woman's love was no less than his.
For his mother and to prevent him from having regrets, she once again used herself as a bait...
He was so flustered that he lost his usual sense of control.
He held her hairpin in his hand. He had polished it himself and given it to her on the night of her coming - of - age ceremony. And the jade ring was made for her just a few days ago.
His slightly pursed thin lips were a bit chapped. His handsome face was covered with frost. He felt that his heart was like it was frozen.
If that woman were here, she would surely stand on tiptoe and gently rub his forehead. "You don't look good like this!"
He gently rubbed his fingertips, as if there was still her warmth there. These years of entanglement had long become an inseparable part of his body, his flesh and blood, his soul. The more he thought, the more his heart ached. He was so afraid that she was being tortured and injured.
They had been separated for five days and five nights. Did God envy their deep love? That's why he and Song Jinyu had to go through so many hardships?
Last time, it was him who disappeared without a trace, putting her in danger. Fortunately, it ended up without serious consequences.
This time, it was her who had vanished, and he himself had become even more cold - hearted. Song Jinyu, do you know that all this king's tenderness has been given to you alone.
The person he was missing was hiding in the cabin at the moment. Finally, she found an opportunity and learned the truth about the gu poison in the harem.
"Truly so heartless!"
"If Mingye ascends the throne, the gu poison on the dragon throne will be activated!" Song Jinyu was really impressed. If Ouyang Jinsè's mind was working, she wasn't bad at all!
It was a pity that she still lost by a small margin.
She knew Zhongli Mingye very well. He would never commit regicide. That meant the person on the dragon throne would still be the old emperor. As for the old emperor, she didn't care.
However, she had to find a way to let Zhongli Mingye know. What should she do... Along the way, she kept leaving marks. She didn't know if Zhong Yuanliu had noticed them.
Ouyang Jinsè came in to deliver food. Song Jinyu didn't even bother to look at her. Since the last time Ouyang Jinsè tried to harm her and was caught,
Song Jinyu had lost the idea of continuing to deal with her. Anyway, they were sworn enemies.
Now, maintaining the superficial peace didn't make any sense.
"If you don't eat and starve to death..."
Ouyang Jinsè gave a charming smile. "This one will turn you into a beautiful - bone beauty. It can still be very enjoyable." Song Jinyu looked at her impatiently and sneered. "It seems that the Palace Master Ouyang has had a good time in the past two years... You've made great progress."
"In the past, you were so idle. Now you even know about the beautiful - bone beauty."
The beautiful - bone beauty was a corpse preserved in a special way, neither rotting nor decaying. With special techniques attached, it could walk like a normal person, but it couldn't speak and had no consciousness.
Ouyang Jinsè leaned over and said with a smile. "This one is really reluctant to let Little Goldfish suffer this pain."
"If you're obedient... This one just wants you to stay by my side." She leaned close to Song Jinyu's ear and said harshly. "Zhongli Mingye must die!" If he didn't die, how could Song Jinyu be completely devoted to her.
Song Jinyu turned her face away and ignored her. Her mind was calculating quickly. Based on her understanding of Zhongli Mingye,
in no more than two days, he would surely find his way to the Minjiang River.
So, she felt a little more at ease.
Zhongli Mingye, it's been several days since I last saw you! She sighed. Her red lips were an abnormal white, and the luster in her eyes was gradually dimming.
Was he anxious? Song Jinyu still didn't regret her choice. Because if Concubine Shu died, Zhongli Mingye might feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Her Mingye. They had finally had a peaceful time for a while, but now this situation had arisen. Watching Ouyang Jinsè's back as she left, Song Jinyu knew that this time, it might not be that simple.
