Chapter 493

Song Shiyun clicked his tongue, raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't say anything. Is the prince feeling guilty?"

Xie Rugui smiled helplessly, "What do I have to feel guilty about? This matter has indeed happened before, but the first time His Majesty mentioned it, my mother refused on behalf of the Duke of Dingguo. It's just that His Majesty felt sorry for the imperial concubine and it was hard to deal with it. Because of the noble concubine’s face, I didn’t just refuse the noble concubine directly.”

Subtext, this has nothing to do with him.

Looking at his appearance of being a man of moral integrity, Song Shiyun laughed and said, "I didn't say anything, but you have a guilty conscience, so you got rid of it all."

Xie Rugu deliberately prolonged his voice and sighed: "Rather than wait for you to ask, it would be better for me to explain myself clearly so that you don't think too much."

Immediately, he frowned again and asked: "So, the noble concubine is really making things difficult for you?"

If the imperial concubine hadn't made things difficult for Song Shiyun, Song Shiyun would not have known this.

Song Shiyun shook his head slightly, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. After all, I'm on an errand according to the order, and the imperial concubine can't do anything to me."

Xie Rugu said with a solemn expression: "That's good. I will explain it to His Majesty later."

In the next second, he changed the subject.

"It's better to directly ask for marriage."

Song Shiyun immediately took out his hand and said, "Don't mess around."

Xie Ru raised his eyebrows, "Why is it such a mess when asking for a marriage?"

Song Shiyun looked at him warningly, "You know what I mean."

Seeing this, Xie Rugu chuckled and said, "That's what I said."

Song Shiyun snorted and said, "You'd better just say it casually."

Xie Rugu smiled and took her hand, "Let's go, treat you to something delicious, and I'll apologize to you, okay?"

When Song Shiyun heard this, he did not refuse.

The two people left the palace side by side.

Just as the two of them got on the carriage of Duke Dingguo, a black figure entered the Qianzheng Hall.

The man was wrapped in a black robe, and even his head was wrapped in darkness, only revealing a pair of eyes that could not be seen clearly.

After entering Qianzheng Hall, he knelt down directly in front of Emperor Qingyuan.

Emperor Qingyuan drank tea in small sips, his complexion was rosy, and he didn't look sick at all.

He drank slowly, and after finishing a cup of tea, he slowly asked: "Song Shiyun, how do you like it?"

The man in black said: "It's just ordinary."

Emperor Qingyuan's hand holding the teacup paused, and then he gently placed the teacup on the table, "Is it ordinary?"

"Yes." The voice of the man in black robe was hoarse and rough, "She follows Master Zhou just like an ordinary new disciple of the Tiansi Bureau. There is nothing outstanding about her. She is not even as good as Li Hong."

Emperor Qingyuan frowned slightly, "Didn't I say before that Song Shiyun is very talented?"

"The rumors in the market may not be true." The man in black robe whispered: "I went to investigate and found that Song Shiyun once received the guidance of an old Taoist when he was a child in the countryside. She may be better than ordinary people, but she is not After orthodox teaching, placed in a place like Tiansi Bureau where there are many talented people, it is just mediocre."

After hearing this, Emperor Qingyuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it true that she grew up in the countryside?"

The man in black robe said: "It's true. There are witnesses and physical evidence. Everyone in the village can prove that my subordinates have investigated Song Shiyun's affairs from childhood to adulthood. There is nothing suspicious."

Emperor Qingyuan frowned, "Could it be that I'm overthinking it?"

The man in black robe didn't dare to answer.

Emperor Qingyuan said in a deep voice: "Shi Yu's head is missing. I thought she might have survived."

The man in black robe said solemnly: "This is impossible. Princess Shiyu's body and soul have been torn into pieces. Your Majesty and I did it ourselves. Even if the head is lost, the princess cannot come back to life."

"Besides, there is no such thing as resurrection from the dead in this world."

Emperor Qingyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously, "She is loved by the heavens. She is different. She is born to ascend to immortality. Even my father is inferior to her. She is the reincarnation of the stars. Is it possible? Even she Is there no possibility of resurrection?"

The man in black robe said resolutely: "Absolutely impossible. If the soul is intact, it may be possible to take another person's body and rebirth it, but I can guarantee that Princess Shiyu's soul has been torn into pieces and is suppressed in all directions. There is no way she can be reborn."

When Emperor Qingyuan heard this, he exhaled a breath, "It's good that there is no such possibility."

Recalling the appearance of Princess Shiyu...

Emperor Qingyuan smiled mockingly, "My daughter, and even my father, can't help but be afraid of me. It's okay if I die."

The man in black didn't speak.

However, Emperor Qingyuan seemed to be tired and waved his hands feebly, "You go down first." The man in black robe then responded with a yes and quickly disappeared into the Qianzheng Hall.

Emperor Qingyuan slowly stood up and walked towards the inner room.

He opened a secret compartment in the inner room and walked in.

Then I saw that there were many tablets placed inside.

The tablet placed in the center belongs to Princess Shiyu.

Emperor Qingyuan stood in front of the tablet, stretched out his hand to touch the name on the tablet, but his eyes were cold, "Shi Yu, don't blame your father, you forced your father to do this-"

……

Song Shiyun and Xie Ru were together. After leaving the palace, they went to the Phoenix Tower for a big meal.

After eating, Xie Rugu sent Song Shiyun back to Pingninghou Mansion.

Shortly after Song Shiyun returned, Duke Dingguo's Mansion sent someone to deliver the decoction Song Shiyun needed to take.

Song Shiyun sat in the room, looking at the bowl of steaming soup with no expression.

Qiu Bai put the soup on the table and was dividing it out with a small bowl. He couldn't help but praise, "Prince Xie really cares about the young lady. The outside of this food box is covered with several layers of brocade, and the inside is cushioned." Thick cashmere, just because I’m afraid the soup will get cold and the lady won’t be able to drink it.”

Hearing this, Chunxiao echoed: "Yes, Crown Prince Xie also asked someone to send two candied fruits, both of which belong to Miss Achi, which shows his thoughtfulness."

Qiu Bai, Shuang Zhong and others all had ambiguous smiles on their faces.

Song Shiyun sat there, his face unmoved, just looking at the hot steam coming out of the soup.

Qiu Bai and Chun Xiao talked for a long time, but Song Shiyun didn't speak.

They turned around and looked over, and saw Song Shiyun sitting there with a calm expression. It was hard to tell what he was thinking, but he didn't have the slightest hint of a young girl's heart.

It could be seen that Song Shiyun didn't seem very happy.

The smiles on the faces of Qiu Bai, Shuang Zhong and others also faded.

Several maids looked at each other.

Qiu Bai picked up a small bowl of decoction, brought it to Song Shiyun, and said tentatively: "Miss, it's time to drink the decoction."

Song Shiyun glanced at the decoction and reached out to take it, but did not take it immediately.

Qiu Bai reminded: "Miss, the temperature of this soup is just right. If you wait a little longer, I'm afraid it will be even more bitter when it cools down."

Song Shiyun said without emotion: "Good medicine tastes bitter."

Qiu Bai paused. At this time, she felt that Song Shiyun's mood seemed not right.

Qiu Bai secretly looked at Song Shiyun's expression and asked cautiously: "Miss, you are on duty in the palace today, are you tired?"

Song Shiyun glanced at her, picked up the small bowl of soup and drank it all.

Immediately, she handed the small bowl to Qiu Bai and said quietly: "Just take the remaining decoction and drink it with difficulty from the small bowl."

Qiu Bai couldn't figure out what Song Shiyun was thinking, so he said yes, turned around, brought over the large bowl of soup and handed it to Song Shiyun.

Song Shiyun took it and drank the soup without saying anything.

Qiu Bai was a little surprised.

In the past, Song Shiyun didn't like to drink soup and medicine, so he had to coax him with candied fruit. What happened today?
Qiu Bai turned to look at Shuang Zhong and Chun Xiao.

Shuang Zhong and Chun Xiao both shook their heads at her with puzzled faces. None of the three of them knew what was going on with Song Shiyun.

Shuang Zhongqian said with a smile: "The people from Dingguo Duke's Mansion said that the prince deliberately added a lot of licorice to the soup. Today's soup is probably not bitter. That's why the lady drank it so quickly, right?"

Song Shiyun turned a deaf ear and drank the medicine in one gulp before putting down the medicine bowl.

Seeing this, Chunxiao hurriedly held the candied fruit and went over, "Miss, would you like some candied fruit to sweeten your mouth?"

Song Shiyun glanced at the candied fruits and said a little tiredly: "I'm tired and want to rest. You can take these candied fruits and share them."

After speaking, Song Shiyun got up and went to the inner room to wash up.

Seeing this, Qiu Bai, Shuang Zhong and others looked at each other and felt more and more that something was wrong with Song Shiyun today.

However, they couldn't tell what was wrong, and they didn't dare to disobey Song Shiyun.
