Chapter 163 Chongjin Missing
"What?" Emperor Yu was shocked, and stared at Song Qinghuan with wide eyes, "You said...you said that Jun Xi was pregnant with Xuan'er's child?" Emperor Yu murmured what she had just said, his pupils dilated , with an unbelievable look on his face.

Song Qinghuan nodded solemnly.

Seeing Song Qinghuan's solemn expression, Emperor Yu understood that this matter was not a joke, and after a moment of stunned, Fang Chenran said, "This...what the hell is going on here?"

Song Qinghuan cleared his throat, and told Emperor Yu about how Junxi and Song Xuan were in love with each other before, and how they were tricked into taking the aphrodisiac, only omitting that Song Xuan died to save Junxi fact.

After talking with Xu Jieyu that day, she wrote a letter to Junxi, in which she suggested that Junxi marry to Yuguo as the fifth concubine of Zhaoguo, and then raise her baby in Yuguo with peace of mind.

The flesh and blood in her belly is the only thought that Brother Wuhuang left in this world. Emperor Father's attitude towards Brother Wuhuang had changed before, and Brother Wuhuang died in order to seize the Cangxie Sword. Therefore, Emperor Father's attitude towards this child Attitude shouldn't be too bad.Besides, there is Xu Jieyu in Jian'an, who will definitely be able to take good care of Jun Xicai.

On the other hand, if Junxi stayed in Zhaoguo to raise her baby, and she disguised herself as a man and concealed it from Emperor Zhao for so long, Emperor Zhao would never treat her the same way as before, and he would never even see the fetus in her womb.

Even Jun Xi's concubine, Lou Muxue and Lou Xiuyuan, would be rejected by Emperor Zhao because Jun Xi's identity was exposed.Judging from the fact that she let Jun Xi live in disguise as a man for so long in order to fight for favor, this woman is most concerned about herself, let alone provide Jun Xi with any help under such circumstances.

Moreover, if she fell out of favor because of Jun Xi's pregnancy, how could she be reconciled?Maybe she will vent all her anger on Jun Xi and the baby in her womb.

Therefore, even though he has not received a letter from Jun Xi, Song Qinghuan still feels that it is the best policy to inform Emperor Yu of this matter first.In order not to speak too hastily when the time comes, it may easily arouse Emperor Yu's dissatisfaction.

Sure enough, after listening to Song Qinghuan's words, Emperor Yu frowned, his face full of suspicion, "Wuyang, you mean... this Junxi and Xuan'er had a good time in the tomb that day, and they were pregnant with Xuan'er's flesh and blood." ?” There were many doubts in the words, and it was obvious that they didn’t believe it.

"Yes, father." Song Qinghuan looked clear and bright, looking straight at Emperor Yu without any hesitation, with obvious persistence in his eyes.

"Wuyang, are you sure...the fetus in Jun Xi's arms is Xuan'er's?" Emperor Yu asked again.

To Emperor Yu, he didn't care about the fact that Junxi disguised herself as a man for so long, but he had to ensure the purity of the royal blood.

"I'm sure." Song Qinghuan nodded firmly.Looking at Emperor Yu's suspicious eyes, Song Qinghuan cursed inwardly.Wasn't the fifth brother also conceived after father and Xu Jieyu's spring breeze?How could he be so unbelievable when he came to Brother Wuhuang?

Although it is not easy for her to say this directly, she still gently reminded her, "I heard that when Xu Jieyu was pregnant with Brother Wu Huang, she was also..."

Emperor Yu's face darkened.

What Wu Yang said was right, at the beginning when he had sex after drinking, Xu Jieyu, who was lucky enough to be a court lady, thought it was just this one time, nothing would happen.But Xu Jieyu was lucky enough to be pregnant with Xuan'er.Since it is a dragon species, there is absolutely no reason to destroy it, so it stayed.

Taking a step back, Jun Xi's identity is more than enough to match Xuan'er.Wuyang has always been reliable. Since she believes in Jun Xi so much, there should be no doubt about the origin of the fetus in Jun Xi's womb.

not to mention--

Now that both Yi'er and Xuan'er are in misfortune, Yan'er is the only one left to inherit the throne, which further fuels the arrogance of the Wei family.

But if there is this child, maybe the Wei family will feel a sense of crisis, and will not dare to act rashly again.

Thinking about it this way, I have an idea in my heart.

"Since Wuyang is so sure, it seems that this child is indeed my grandson." After a pause, he looked at Song Qinghuan deeply, "Then Wuyang thinks, when Junxi gives birth to this child, can we take it over? Jian'an, take care of him yourself?"

What Emperor Yu valued was indeed only this child.

Song Qinghuan's heart was slightly cold, but she didn't show it on her face, she just said, "Father, if we wait for Junxi to give birth to the child and then rashly ask for the child to be brought to Jian'an, it would be a bit inappropriate. What's the difference between mother and son? What will the world think of us?"

He pursed his lips, calmed down his cold tone, and then said, "At that time, everyone will know that Jun Xi gave birth to Brother Wu Huang, who do you think would not mind Jun Xi's past and would be willing to marry him?" Her? And we took away Junxi's child, how will she live for the rest of her life?"

He questioned one after another, and Emperor Yu's face became a bit ugly when he asked.

What will happen to Jun Xi later is really out of his consideration.But what Wu Yang said was not wrong, if they want this child, they can't do things too extreme.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the depression in his heart, "Then Wuyang thinks, what should we do?"

"Father, my son went to Junxi before leaving. Although she and Brother Wuhuang hadn't known each other for long, they had already had a deep affection for him. Although Brother Wuhuang is no longer alive, Junxi doesn't want to remarry. Others, this child, she will naturally try her best to stay."

His eyebrows were slightly raised, and his voice was cold, "Therefore, I think that the best way is to marry Junxi to Yuguo, and then let her raise a fetus and have a child in Jian'an with peace of mind. In this way, after a hundred years, the Five Emperors My brother's spirit in the sky won't be too lonely."

Emperor Yu was a little surprised, and blurted out the words from the bottom of his heart, "You mean... to match Xuan'er with a yin marriage?"

Song Qinghuan's face darkened.Emperor Yu's words were really harsh, but it was undeniable that the essence of the matter was true.

"We don't need to marry Junxi with great fanfare. We just said that Junxi and Brother Wuhuang had already had a marriage contract. Now that Brother Wuhuang is dead, Junxi is still willing to marry to Yuguo and raise the child in his womb. When the time comes, Junxi will marry Junxi." When Xi arrives in Jian'an, he will live in Prince Rui's Mansion as Princess Rui, and then choose an auspicious day to enter her name into the royal genealogy, and this will be regarded as a ceremony. I believe others will not be able to find any faults."

Song Qinghuan shared his thoughts one by one.

Since Jun Xi is going to come to Yu Country, she cannot be wronged.Brother Wuhuang is no longer here, so there is no need to pay respects to the church, as long as she is given a legitimate identity.

"But... In this way, Emperor Zhao lost a concubine in vain. How would he agree so easily?" Emperor Yu thought for a moment, then spoke heavily.

Seeing Emperor Yu's tone loosened, Song Qinghuan was slightly happy, and said, "Emperor Zhao's work can be done by Junxi. You think, if this can be done, you can get a grandson, Brother Wuhuang You won't be lonely after a hundred years, so why not do it? If Emperor Zhao disagrees, you have nothing to lose, right?"

What Song Qinghuan said touched Emperor Yu's heart.He really has no reason to refuse this kind of business that is sure to make a profit without losing money.

Clearing his throat, he looked at Song Qinghuan with approval in his eyes, "Wuyang's method is really well arranged, what about Junxi...?"

"My son and Junxi have a good relationship. If my father can trust me, I will leave this matter to my son." Song Qinghuan's eyes were clear, and the brightest stars were shining in his eyes.

Just standing there, the aura on his body is so dazzling that it is hard to ignore.

Emperor Yu looked at her, at her familiar yet unfamiliar face, and felt a bit of sigh in his heart.

At the beginning, he had three sons and three daughters, but Wuyang was the most unknown and the least favored by him.But I thought that in just two or three years, the fate of everyone has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Yi'er and Xuan'er died, Anyang Yuan got married, and Pingyang became more and more mediocre from the dazzling appearance at the beginning.And Yan'er... after so many years, it seems that she hasn't improved much.

The only thing that surprised him was Wuyang.

From the blockbuster konghou song at her birthday banquet, to the search for Qing Yuanguo for herself in the Chen Kingdom, and to the radiance at the Lindu Sword Seizing Conference, in just a few years, she has grown into a Dazzling and powerful woman.

He should have known earlier, how could Ali's daughter be mediocre?

Ah Li... Ah Li... Thinking of that woman with clear spiritual wisdom, I felt an unstoppable pain in my heart.

He knew, he knew that she must still be living somewhere in this world, maybe... Maybe he let her down at the beginning, so she left without saying goodbye, and there was no news for so many years.

Fortunately, she also left Wuyang for herself.

For some reason, these days, Emperor Yu felt that he seemed to like reminiscing about the past more and more.Maybe it's because I'm getting old.

He sighed faintly, and finally recovered from his contemplation.

Song Qinghuan was staring at him clearly, with a gloomy and cold expression, like a orchid blooming in an empty valley, independent of the world.

She was still waiting for his answer.

Emperor Yu sighed again.

Forget it, now, it should be the world of these young people.

"Okay, then I will leave this matter to you."

"My son complies with the order." Song Qinghuan saluted and thanked her, her face was only indifferent, but she still did not see joy.

"You go down first." Emperor Yu waved his hand, seeing the complicated emotions in her eyes, and after a long time, he said another sentence, "During this period, you can stay in the palace and wait for your marriage in peace."

"Yes. Father." Song Qinghuan respectfully complied, and saw that he had no more orders, so he resigned and left.

*
September is approaching, and the weather is gradually cooling down.

According to the Taibu Department's measurements, the third day of September is suitable for ground breaking and burial, and Song Yi and Song Xuan's funeral was set on this day.

is the day.

As soon as it was dawn, there was a large convoy heading towards the outskirts of the city, all decorated with colorful decorations, very luxurious.

At the end of the convoy, there were two black-painted and gold-painted coffins, surrounded by ice cubes, braving the cold air, and the escorting Qimen riders on both sides had solemn expressions, and they didn't even hear the sound of breathing.

In the coffin at the front lay the corpse of the First Prince Song Yi, and in the coffin behind were the clothes that the Fifth Prince Song Xuan often wore.The whereabouts of Song Xuan's body is "unknown", so a tomb of clothes can only be built instead.

The convoy left the city gate, drove for a while, and arrived at the imperial mausoleum on the outskirts of the city.The royal families of all dynasties are buried here.

The carriage came to a gentle stop.

Liu Yue and Shen Xing got out of the car first, raised the curtain, and invited Song Qinghuan to come down.

After getting out of the car, Song Qinghuan looked around with cold eyes and saw many familiar figures.The autumn wind was bleak, and it made people feel cold all over. She tightened her clothes and walked towards a person.

"Jieyu." Song Qinghuan called out in a low voice.

Xu Jieyu, who was at the front, heard the reputation, her expression was pale, and there were crystal tears in her eyes, but she tried her best not to let them fall.

Tong'er, who was following her, hurriedly saluted Song Qinghuan.

Shen Xingliuyue also greeted Xu Jieyu.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince." Xu Jieyu calmed down and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Is Jieyu okay?" Song Qinghuan asked with concern.

Xu Jieyu nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I'm fine, it's just that I'm a little too sad."

Song Qinghuan sighed helplessly, "Jieyu doesn't need to think too much, the matter has come to this point, Jieyu can only take care of her health."

Xu Jieyu said "um", and raised her eyes to look at Song Qinghuan, "Your Highness, I don't know..." She lowered her voice, and asked in Song Qinghuan's ear, "I don't know about the Five Empresses of Zhao Kingdom, is there anything to say?"

Song Qinghuan nodded, "I made peace with my father that day, and my father agreed to my proposal and left it to me to handle the matter with full authority. It's just that I haven't received a reply from Junxi yet, so I haven't told you yet."

When Xu Jieyu heard this, she felt slightly relieved.

As long as Emperor Yu passes this test, things will be easier to handle, and I hope that there will be no more troubles in Zhaoguo.

While talking, Song Qinghuan caught sight of Zhong Huai sending several servants here from the corner of his eye, so he stopped talking and stood with Xu Jieyu, waiting for the next instruction.

Sure enough, a servant came to Song Qinghuan and Xu Jieyu, and bowed to them, "Your Highness the Seventh, Xu Jieyu, the Emperor has invited you, please come with your servants."

Song Qinghuan nodded, glanced at Xu Jieyu, and walked forward with her following the servant.

Not long after, all the masters from the palace gathered together.

As the queen is the master of the harem, she must attend this occasion.Naturally, Concubine Ning Gui was also there, with a gloomy complexion and undercurrents surging in her eyes.

Besides, Song Qingyi and Song Yan also came.

Although the two stood on both sides of the queen, one left and one right, they did not have any conversation or eye contact.Song Qingyi's complexion is much better than when he just returned to Jian'an, it seems that the remaining poison has been cleared.

Just looking at the appearance of the two of them, Song Qingyi has not forgiven Song Yan.

Song Qinghuan curled her lips coldly, since the relationship between the two of them was already on fire, she might as well add another fire.

Turning her eyes, she took the initiative to walk to Song Qingyi's side, her eyes were red, "Second Sister Huang is feeling better?"

Under the eyes of everyone, even if Song Qingyi didn't like Song Qinghuan, she couldn't save her face, swallowed the disgust in her heart, and said coldly in a hoarse voice, "It's much better, thank you Wuyang for your concern."

Song Qinghuan still had a calm expression on her face, but she looked at Song Qingyi with a hint of worry in her eyes, and she was not overly enthusiastic, but in this way, she seemed more real.

"It's good that Second Sister is fine, otherwise... otherwise..." She glanced at the coffin behind the line, her voice choked up slightly, but she couldn't say anything more after all.

Even so, how could Song Qingyi not know what was in her heart?
She just wanted to say, otherwise, there would be more than the second and fifth brothers lying in this cold coffin.

At this moment, a gust of cool wind blew past, making her feel chilly all over her body, and she couldn't help shivering.

Glancing at the dark coffin at the end of the line, I couldn't help feeling a surge of fear in my heart.

Song Qinghuan was right, if it wasn't for her great fortune and destiny, the person lying in that coffin today would be herself.

The cold air rose from the soles of his feet, and his face became more gloomy. He glanced at Song Yan as if nothing, and his heart was filled with more and more resentment.

After returning to Jian'an, she still couldn't hold back and told her mother why she was poisoned.After hearing this, the queen mother was indeed very surprised, but after the surprise, her reaction disappointed her——

The queen mother revealed the matter lightly!

What Song Yan said at the time was just an instinctive reaction, and he didn't intend to target her specifically. Now that her body is almost in good shape, there is no need to mention this matter in the future.

The implication was that she was afraid that she would ruin Song Yan's reputation by telling the story!

You can imagine how angry she was at that time.It seems that the queen mother seems to be more partial to herself on weekdays, but when it comes to such an important issue, the queen mother's heart is really tight.

In this room Song Qingyi was thinking gloomyly, while in the other room, Emperor Yu had already opened his mouth, "Everyone follow me in."

With that said, he walked towards the inside of the imperial mausoleum.

Passing through the majestic and heavily guarded white marble archway, you can be regarded as entering the imperial mausoleum of Zhao Kingdom.

As soon as you enter, there is a straight corridor, with tall and exquisite white marble pillars on both sides, lotus bases, engraved with a dragon coiled on the pillars, decorated with flowing cloud patterns, and a dew plate on the top of the stone pillars. A divine beast roared towards the sky, with a very solemn expression.

At the end of the corridor, there stood a high platform ten feet square, on which was a bronze tripod with two ears, and three huge sticks of incense were inserted in the tripod, and the smoke rose up.

There were nine maidens in black and red clothes on the stage, with star patterns embroidered on the skirts and cuffs, and long hair tied behind their heads with silver ribbons, standing in a circle around the bronze tripod.

And behind the bronze tripod, there was another person standing, wearing a sacrificial attire with elegant sleeves, and his eyes were cold and pure, it was Chongjin.

Emperor Yu and others walked up to the high platform and stood in line. The two coffins were also transported to the bottom of the high platform and stopped in the middle.

Chong Jin glanced at the sky, saw that the incense was almost burning, so he waved.

A priestess stepped forward, removed the burnt incense, replaced it with three new ones, and gestured to a priestess standing by the big drum next to the platform.

There was only a "boom", and there was a deafening drum sound.

Chongjin bowed to the sky, drank to the sound of drums and muttered words.The nine witches also began to dance around the bronze tripod.

For a moment, the big sleeves fluttered, and the ink color seemed to rise, like billowing clouds.

The prayer ceremony will not be completed until the newly replaced three sticks of incense are burned out, the sound of drums stops, and the singing and dancing stop.

The miko who formed a circle spread out to the side, opening a passage.Chongjin went down the high steps along the vacated passage, walked up to Emperor Yu and bowed his hands, his voice was somber, "Your Majesty, the ceremony has been completed, the coffins of Prince Ning and Prince Rui can enter the imperial mausoleum."

Emperor Yu nodded heavily, and glanced at Zhong Huai who was following him.

Zhong Huai understood, and ordered Habayashi Wei to carry the coffins of Song Yi and Song Xuan, and slowly entered the imperial tomb.

Emperor Yu made another salute, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave." With Emperor Yu's approval, Fang took the nine witches and left.

Song Qinghuan raised his head and glanced at her receding figure. For some reason, a strange emotion spread in his heart.

Fang Cai Chongjin seemed to be acting as usual and did not even glance at her.

As Tai Bu Ling, it is naturally impossible for people to find out that she has a close relationship with Song Qinghuan, so the two have never been familiar with each other in front of people.

But Song Qinghuan always felt that Chongjin seemed a little absent-minded today, and her expression was rare and serious. The bruises in her eyes seemed to indicate that she didn't sleep well last night.

After seeing Chongjin when they returned to the palace that day, the two never met again.

Song Qinghuan was waiting for Chongjin to make a decision, she didn't want to push her too hard.If Chongjin didn't want to tell her the whereabouts of her concubine mother, then what she said might not be true.If this is the case, she might as well check it from another place.

But originally he wanted to take pictures slowly, but after seeing today's Chongjin, he changed his mind.

Chongjin definitely has something on her mind today, no matter whether it is related to the disappearance of the concubine mother or not, after returning to the palace later, she has to go to find Chongjin.

While contemplating, seeing that the team had moved slowly, he narrowed his eyes, withdrew his thoughts, and followed everyone slowly into the mausoleum.

The tombs of Song Yi and Song Xuan had already been prepared, so it didn't take long to put the coffins in the tomb and seal them up.Everything seems to be going well.

Although Xu Jieyu was in great grief, she did not show any timidity in front of the crowd. Her expression was tenacious, and she bit her lips to prevent herself from crying.

Compared with Xu Jieyu's pure sadness, Ning Guifei, who also lost her son, had more anger and unwillingness in her eyes, and her resentful look frequently shot at the queen and Song Yan.

In the end, even Emperor Yu couldn't stand it anymore, and glared at Concubine Ning Guifei with a gloomy look. She just restrained herself, but the brocade handkerchief in her hand was already clenched into a ball.

After the inner and outer coffins were sealed, everyone mourned for a moment, and followed Emperor Yu out of the imperial mausoleum along the original road.

The weather outside the mausoleum became even more gloomy, with dark clouds covering the sun, as if there were signs of rain at any time.

Everyone was silent and got on the carriage when they came without saying a word.Song Qinghuan shook Xu Jieyu's hand, motioned her to take care of her body, and whispered a few words in her ear, "Xu Jieyu went back to the palace and waited for the news. I will send someone to inform Junxi if there is any situation." you."

Xu Jieyu nodded her thanks, lifted her skirt and got on the carriage.

Song Qinghuan glanced at Song Qingyi and Song Yan who were standing heavy in the distance, turned his eyes, and got into the car with the curtain lifted.

The way back was more empty and depressing than when we went there.

Even Liu Yue, who has always been lively, has a serious face, without saying a word, and there is pain in her eyes.

The carriage swayed and drove all the way back to the palace.

Everyone got off the car at the gate of the palace, said goodbye one by one, and returned to the palace with their accompanying maids and maids.

Song Qinghuan was thinking about Chongjin in his heart, and after changing his clothes, he was going to ask her to understand, just about to call Shen Xing and Liuyue to come in, but saw Liuyue hastily opened the curtain and walked in front of Song Qinghuan to salute , "Your Highness, the fifth prince has sent a letter."

Song Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that the fifth prince in Liuyue's mouth was referring to Junxi, with a happy expression, he stretched out his hand and said, "Show me quickly!"

Liu Yue handed over the letter in her hand.

Song Qinghuan hastily opened it, and looked at it at a glance.After reading it, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the letter, Jun Xi agreed to her suggestion, and was willing to marry to Yu Country and give birth to her unborn baby as the fifth concubine.

Song Qinghuan sat down at the desk with relaxed eyebrows.

Now that Jun Xi has agreed, the next step is to think carefully about how to restore her status as Emperor Concubine, and how to get Emperor Zhao to agree to marry Jun Xi to Yu Country.

Jun Xi has kept the truth from Emperor Zhao for so long, and with Emperor Zhao's conceited temperament, he will definitely be dissatisfied with him and Lou Xiuyuan. If he directly kills Jun Xi in a fit of rage, all subsequent plans will be for naught.

From this point of view, it may be necessary to skip this step and let Yuguo ask Zhaoguo to ask for marriage directly.

At that time, everyone in the four kingdoms knew that Junxi was pregnant with the flesh and blood of Brother Wuhuang, the prince and grandson of Yu Kingdom, even if Emperor Zhao was dissatisfied, he would not dare to touch Junxi and the baby in her womb easily.Otherwise, it would be against the entire Yu country.

She frowned.

If Shen Chuhan can make some more disturbances on the border between Liangzhao and Liangzhao, so that Zhaoguo will be attacked by enemies and unable to turn against Yuguo at that juncture, this matter will be possible in all likelihood.

Having made up her mind, she immediately asked Liuyue to grind and spread the paper, and just picked up the Langhao to write letters to Shen Chuhan and Junxi, but suddenly Shen Xing also hurried in, frowning tightly, with a serious expression on her face.

Song Qinghuan paused with his dangling wrist, and frowned, "What happened?"

"Your Highness, Miss Ah Zhen is asking to see you outside." Shen Xing said in a condensed voice.

Ah Zhen?

Song Qinghuan was taken aback.

She knew that Ah Zhen was a witch and was Aunt Chongjin's confidant, but she had never had direct contact with her.At this time, Langlang Bairi, why did she come to Yaohua Palace?
"Do you know what's the matter?" Frowning, he asked.

Shen Xing frowned, and said in a hurry, "She said... she said that Aunt Chongjin is missing!"
