Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Xu Siniang said that Song Yuanqing had a suppressed memorial, and no matter why the memorial was kept secret, it was obvious that Song Yuanqing must know something.

Mr. Song is famous for his uprightness, and he is also famous for his rules. Such a person...whether it is lure or coercion, most of them will not work.

Only... sincerity.

Master Song treated people sincerely, welcomed them into the gate of the mansion, seated them, served tea, and straight to the point, "I don't know, Miss Ji is here, why is it? Did something happen to Fengchenju?"

"Fengchenju is fine, everything is going well in the past few days, Lord Lao Song is concerned."

Song Yuanqing nodded, "That's good. That girl is..."

"That's right, Lord Song." Ji Wuyan slowly took a sip from his teacup, then lowered his eyebrows and sighed softly, "Originally, it's not easy for women to ask about this matter... After all, it's a matter for the court. It's just that Minnv suffered some injuries because of this. The torrential rains in the past two days made the wound painful, and her brain was dizzy from time to time. I can't let it go, and I want to ask Mr. Song, who is this religious celestial master? Have you caught him?"

Song Yuanqing looked slightly embarrassed, "Not yet. The imperial court is already doing its best to arrest the remnants of Taoism and religion. Don't worry, girl, if there is any news, Song will definitely tell the girl as soon as possible."

"If that's the case... then I'll trouble Mrs. Song." The girl with her head down, changed from her calm and composed appearance in the past. Distressed.

Song Yuanqing was about to comfort her, when a flash of inspiration suddenly struck her, she retracted all the words that came to her lips, looked at the woman below intently, and asked tentatively, "Young lady... know what?"

Ji Wuyan glanced over quickly, and then quickly looked back, like a frightened deer.Obviously, I wanted to say it, but I didn't dare to say it.

Song Yuanqing understood, waved his hand, and asked people to back off before solemnly promising, "Don't worry, girl. Only Song knows what the girl said today... Song will definitely arrange people to ensure the safety of the girl." The young parent officer, Sitting behind the large desk and under the "Fair and Bright" plaque, he solemnly promised to protect the safety of a weak woman.

For a moment, Ji Wuyan really wanted to stand up and ask him, why didn't he protect the safety of the other girl at that time?But she held back, she is not a three-year-old child who is naive and ignorant of world affairs, the so-called parental officer, after all, has limited abilities.When necessary, he could not even submit a report.

Concealing all the emotions in her heart, she just lowered her head and muttered softly, "Even...Even if the East Palace wants to put the little girl to death, Master Song...can you protect her?"

The other party looked at him suddenly, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, but his words were gentle and comforting, and he cautiously said, "Since the girl is talking about religion, why did she suddenly mention the East Palace... If Song remembers correctly, Miss Ji asked Song about it before. A certain question. Now...the answer has not changed."

He still remembers.Ji Wuyan pursed her lips, but at that time she didn't directly respond to the convenience, but was a little ambiguous, but Ji Wuyan didn't intend to let him prevaricate this time, she just nodded lightly as if reassured, "The little girl is just thinking about it." I made the promise at the beginning, and today I have the courage to come here and ask for help."

"At that time in the back mountain forest, I encountered the remnants of Taoism and religion. I was hiding behind a tree, but what the other party said was too shocking. The little girl was surprised and showed her whereabouts... Since then, my follower I found out that people outside Ji's house are being watched every day, even when they go to the street..." As he spoke, he lowered his head and stirred his handkerchief, raised his eyelids to look at Song Yuanqing, then retracted it instantly, and then looked around again after a moment of hesitation , and whispered timidly, "Just, just... I may have brought some trouble to Mr. Song by going through this journey today..."

She knew that some hints of secrets were too obvious in her words. Combined with her previous words, it was hard not to think about the East Palace.The terrifying secret of the Eastern Palace...

To avoid suspicion, the door was left open.The door was unguarded, but people could still be seen coming and going outside.

The world washed by that heavy rain looked extraordinarily clean, and the sun was shining, which was a bit dazzling.Song Yuanqing didn't dare to guess the secrets of the East Palace, and probably didn't need to guess—reason told him that letting go of it was the best policy.

But the sense of justice in his bones prevents him from letting go of a little girl who is being followed and may be in danger at any time. He pondered for a moment, and he made a compromise. He didn't listen to the secret, and only arranged people to protect this helpless girl. "How about this, Song will arrange a few reliable subordinates to be responsible for the girl's safety these few days. Don't worry, girl, since Song is the parent officer of Yanjing City, he will naturally not abandon any of his subjects."

The girl below turned her head to look, changed her previous timid and hesitant look, and stared straight at Song Yuanqing, staring at Song Yuanqing's heart.

After a while, she smiled suddenly, with a lingering smile in her eyes, but Song Yuanqing felt that that smile...was extremely ironic.The expression behind the veil should be a sneering look with the corners of his mouth curled up—he felt guilty for no reason.

"Master Song said that he is the parent official of Yanjing City, and my daughter believed it. You also said that His Highness the Crown Prince is known for benevolence and virtue, so he would not intentionally embarrass a weak woman... But Mr. Song, now my daughter knows about the Eastern Palace. The biggest secret, is the prince really not going to make things difficult?"

"Speak carefully!" Song Yuanqing's eyes changed, "How can you talk about everything in the East Palace behind your back at will? I have never heard what Miss Ji said today. Miss Ji walked out of here, so don't talk to anyone again. Bring up this matter, beware of getting into trouble."

Unexpectedly, the little girl was not afraid of tigers when she was a newborn calf, and she said bluntly, "Now I have provoked... Lord Song, they said that the fire in Chongren Hall was not an accident. He had nowhere to ask for help and was burned alive in Chongren..."

Before the words were finished, Song Yuanqing had already stood up suddenly, clapping the table, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Ji Wuyan looked at him quietly.

One spoke sternly with excitement, and the other raised his eyebrows slightly, as if a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and also carried a bit of weird complacency.

The two looked at each other, but no one spoke.

His scolding voice at that time suddenly became louder, and the subordinates passing by outside the door stopped and looked over curiously. Song Yuanqing was a little embarrassed, coughed and waved his hands to drive them away, and then looked at Ji Wuyan a few times.He is not a fool. Sitting in this position at a young age, although he sometimes appears to be inexperienced, it also proves that his abilities are much superior to those of his peers.

How could he fail to see through Ji Wuyan's plan?
This girl just wanted to drag herself into the same boat.
