The Hidden Beauty

Chapter 64 Let Me Be Selfish For Once
The princess walked around Song Huaizhi and said, "Meng Tingzhou didn't come, so why are you here? Does the emperor trust you? Or..."

She glanced vaguely at Jiang Shiwan who was lying on the ground: "Or did you want to come on your own?"

Song Huaizhi had a blank expression on his face: "I am only following orders. If Princess has any questions, please go back to the palace and ask His Majesty!"

"Song! Huai! Zhi!" Seeing that he didn't even want to pay attention to her, the princess' face turned pale and she sneered, "Seeing your beloved woman like this, do you feel heartbroken?"

Song Huaizhi gestured behind him: "Come here, send the Queen and the Princess back to the palace immediately!"

Unexpectedly, he was no longer as patient with me as before, and he didn't even have a good face towards me.

The eldest princess felt neglected and despised and refused to leave.

"Song Huaizhi, why don't you answer! Tell me, are you heartbroken? For this bitch, you flattered me. You were lying to me from the beginning to the end, weren't you?"

Even until the princess was taken away by the royal guards, Song Huaizhi did not directly answer her question.

His eyes were fixed on the person lying on the ground in front of him. Her hair was disheveled and her entire back was covered with hideous scars.

At this moment, he felt as if his feet weighed a thousand pounds. He walked over with heavy steps, picked up the person lying in a pool of blood, and a tear fell on Jiang Shiwan's face: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here."

He left Changning Army and went to Beijing, entered the princess's mansion, and suffered hardships that ordinary people could imagine, but he never felt it was hard.

But seeing her go through this, he felt it was too bitter.

"Meimei, why are you like this?" Song Huaizhi felt like something was stuck in his throat. "Why are you like this?"

Jiang Shiwan opened her eyes with difficulty and reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, but she had no strength. In the end, she fainted because of the heart-wrenching pain.

Song Huaizhi held her in his arms and was about to walk outside.

Cen Shuang stepped forward and said, "Sir, the governor is here with his men."

"Where is Meng Tingzhou now?"

"We have arrived at the palace gate."

Song Huaizhi looked at the woman in his arms and couldn't help but use a little more force to hold her. She seemed to be in pain and her brows furrowed even deeper.

Seeing that he was about to go in the opposite direction, Cen Shuang seemed to have anticipated something and tried to stop him: "Young Master!"

He knelt down and said, "Sir, please think twice. She is now the wife of the governor."

Song Huaizhi did not stop: "Cen Shuang, let me be selfish for once."

Meng Tingzhou was repeatedly held accountable by the emperor today, and the two almost had an argument. It was not until the palace received news from Lu Zheng that the queen had taken Jiang Shiwan to the palace while he was away.

The Queen was fine, but when Meng Tingzhou heard that the eldest princess was also in the palace, his heart suddenly tightened.

As soon as he walked out of the Jiade Hall, Song Huaizhi reported to the emperor and asked him to inform him about the temporary palace. Fearing that something might happen, the emperor immediately sent Song Huaizhi to the temporary palace.

When Meng Tingzhou arrived without stopping, he found out that Song Huaizhi had taken the person away before him.

Worry and uneasiness instantly occupied his mind. At that moment, he was like an angry beast, riding his horse straight towards the Song Mansion.

But Song Huaizhi was not in the Song Mansion.

Meng Tingzhou searched every corner of the mansion, but found no trace of Jiang Shiwan.

Seeing his horrible expression, Lu Zheng, who had been following him, said cautiously: "Don't worry, I'll send people to look for it for you in various places..."

Meng Tingzhou stood in the front hall of the Song Mansion, his eyes full of murderous intent: "I have black armor soldiers, what can Song Huaizhi do to resist?"

"You're crazy! The Black Armored Soldiers can't easily enter the capital." Lu Zheng tried his best to dissuade him, "The emperor is suspicious of you, isn't this a handle for the Luo people?" "He has been suspicious of me for a long time. If this road has to be taken sooner or later, what does it matter if it's earlier or later?"

Lu Zheng grabbed him and said sternly, "Meng Tingzhou, don't let your impulse cloud your brain!"

"This may be arranged by His Majesty and Song Huaizhi, with the purpose of forcing you!" Lu Zheng analyzed, "You must stay calm."

Meng Tingzhou clenched his fists: "Just now in the palace, I even smelled blood. That woman Yan Jinxi must have tortured her!"

He was like a trapped animal: "I don't know what her current situation is, and I don't know what Song Huaizhi's purpose is."

"Just be patient, we will discuss this in the long run..." Lu Zheng whispered in his ear, and Meng Tingzhou gradually calmed down his temper, and finally several people left the Song Mansion.

It was a day and a night later when Jiang Shiwan woke up. She lay on the bed, slowly opened her eyes, and found that the surrounding environment was somewhat strange, yet somewhat familiar.

"My lady is awake." The maid who had been taking care of her hurried out to call for help.

Song Huaizhi was next door. He came in immediately after hearing the noise. He was very relieved to see her wake up. "Meimei, are you awake?"

"Brother Song, why are you here?" Jiang Shiwan was a little confused, "Where...is this place?"

Song Huaizhi didn't let her get up: "The doctor said that the wound on your back has not yet scabbed over. You can only lie down as much as possible during this period. Don't get up."

Then he said, "Do you think this place looks like a place?"

“It’s a bit like…”

Seeing that she seemed a little surprised, Song Huaizhi nodded: "Yes, this place is designed according to your previous boudoir, including the objects here, all of which I secretly moved out from Jiang Mansion."

This kind of thought alone is enough to move people.

Jiang Shiwan was a little puzzled: "Brother Song, why are you here?"

"I want to make you feel better." Song Huaizhi smiled slightly, walked to the window and propped up the windowsill, "Although I don't know whether it is good for you to think of someone when you see something."

The summer is long, and this place is very cool because it is close to the lake and has a gentle breeze.

Looking at the identical layout of her former boudoir, Jiang Shiwan seemed to recall the days when her father and Xiaonian were by her side.

Distant memories filled her thoughts like a tide.

"Brother Song, thank you."

"It would be awkward for you to thank me."

Jiang Shiwan leaned on the window sill and looked outside. It was not a place she was familiar with. She asked, "How did I get here? I was clearly..."

"You were almost unconscious when I arrived." Song Huaizhi explained, "The situation was critical at the time, so I could only send you here first. The doctor said that you were seriously injured. You slept for a whole day and night."

One day and one night? Jiang Shiwan was thinking about Ah You.

Her Ayou was still waiting for him in the Governor's Mansion.

"Meimei, don't think too much. Just take good care of your injuries first, and the rest will come later."

His expression was very gentle, but his words revealed an unquestionable tone.

Somehow, Jiang Shiwan felt that Song Huaizhi in front of him was a little paranoid.

Even, a little strange.
