Chapter 155 Using Shen Jingyi as a Threat
Song Qingwan rushed into the palace without stopping, but was still a step too late. Shen Jingyi had already been imprisoned by the emperor and dismissed from his post for investigation.
"Why would the emperor do this? You know it's not his fault. The people behind the Lan family are so cunning."
"This is his own choice, Song Qingwan, why do you think Shen Jingyi is like this? If he doesn't get involved in your affairs, I won't give up on him."
"What do you mean? Do you think Shen Jingyi betrayed you?"
"Even if he doesn't do that now, he will betray me because of you in the future. I have watched him grow up, and I know him well."
Song Qingwan stopped talking. She looked at the emperor in front of her as if she saw an old madman. In order to suppress Zhao Huaijin, he even did not let Shen Jingyi go.
"So, what do you want in exchange for letting him go?"
"Unless you go to Southern Xinjiang and find an antidote for me."
It's finally here! Song Qingwan had guessed that the emperor would not let her go so easily, but she didn't expect that he would use Shen Jingyi.
So not only Prince Chen, but also the Emperor, they were forcing her to go to Southern Xinjiang.
"What if I don't want to go?"
"No, you will go, Song Qingwan, you are Yan'er's daughter, you will definitely go."
"Then I have to see Shen Jingyi is safe first."
"Yes, Li Fuquan, take Princess Huai to see Shen Jingyi."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Fuquan led the way carefully in front, and Song Qingwan followed behind him. The two slowly walked to a hidden room in the palace.
"Princess, Lord Shen is inside, please come in."
"Thank you, Eunuch Li."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite to a eunuch like me. I don't even recognize the emperor now."
Song Qingwan nodded. She understood Li Fuquan's feelings. No one would feel good when the master whom she had served for decades suddenly changed his temperament.
"Please take good care of Concubine Shun and her son in the future, eunuch."
"I understand, please rest assured, Madam."
Li Fuquan lowered his head and retreated. Song Qingwan pushed open the door and walked in, only to see Shen Jingyi sitting on the ground in a white prison uniform.
The usually high-spirited Dali Temple Chief Justice was now covered in wounds, with his hands and feet chained.
He was obviously surprised to see Song Qingwan come in, and a hint of discomfort flashed in his eyes.
"Why are you here? They told you I was here."
"Those beasts actually tortured you!"
"Shen is now just a prisoner. After such a mistake, the emperor is showing great mercy by letting me stay for a while."
"Don't talk yet, just take these medicines."
Song Qingwan took out a special medicine from the space, asked Li Fuquan to bring a glass of water, and fed the medicine to Shen Jingyi with this water.
"What are you doing here? Go back quickly, it's so dirty. You need to get well, so you can't get hurt again."
"How can I be so fragile? Shen Jingyi, hold on, I will rescue you."
"Don't waste your energy. He has never wanted to let me go since he arrested me. The emperor today is no longer the same emperor as before."
Shen Jingyi shook his head tiredly. He didn't know how Lan Chengen was rescued. It was indeed his dereliction of duty.
However, the emperor was taking advantage of the opportunity to impose such a heavy punishment. He understood that he was the only one left in the Shen family, isolated and helpless, so he could only accept his fate.
"Believe me, Shen Jingyi, you must stay alive and wait for me to come back."
"You...you don't have to take risks for me."
"Mr. Shen, are we still friends? Do you think of yourself as less than a human being?"
Song Qingwan was a little angry. She always treated Shen Jingyi as a close friend. Shen Jingyi could risk his life to go to the Lan family to save her, so why couldn't she save Shen Jingyi in return?
Shen Jingyi was stunned. This was the first time someone told him that he, Shen Jingyi, was worth others risking their lives for.
"Ok, I will wait for you."
"Well, take these medicines. I've already taken care of Eunuch Li. He won't care if you take the medicines."
Song Qingwan swiftly placed a cloth bag next to Shen Jingyi, then thought for a moment and handed him a dagger.
"If necessary, find a way to escape, Shen Jingyi, nothing is more important than life."
"it is good."
Shen Jingyi nodded firmly, perhaps he, Shen Jingyi, could live a different life.
After doing all this, Song Qingwan said goodbye to Shen Jingyi and left the palace. She first went to the Pang family to visit her mother and grandfather.
Song Changbai is now almost four years old. He is chubby and white. When he saw Song Qingwan coming, he was eager to hug her.
"Oh, Changbai, you can let your sister hold you. Changbai is too heavy."
Xia Zhu quickly ran over, grabbed Song Changbai, and then picked him up.
Changbai is now completely taken care of by Xia Zhu. Master Pang is old, and all the affairs of the Pang family are handled by Pang Lingyan, so it is difficult for her to spare time to take care of Changbai.
Changbai was taken good care of by Xia Zhu. The two of them were like a real mother and son and were inseparable all day long.
"Sister Xia Zhu is so nice to Chang Bai."
"Miss, please don't say that. I have the opportunity to raise a long cypress, which is a blessing from my previous life."
"Where's mother? Is she there?"
"Madam is taking care of the Grand Tutor in the backyard. Miss, please come in."
Song Qingwan nodded, said goodbye to Xia Zhu and Chang Bai, went to the backyard and entered her grandfather's room. As soon as she entered the door, she was about to speak when she saw her mother making a gesture to keep quiet.
Song Qingwan turned around and went out to wait. After a while, Pang Lingyan also came out and closed the door.
"Wan'er, you came in such a hurry today, what's the urgent matter?"
"Mother, I am here to say goodbye to you today."
"Goodbye, where are you going? Huai Jin just went to Northern Frontier, are you leaving too?"
"My daughter is going to southern Xinjiang. Mother, Chunya has been taken away by them."
"What? How could this happen?"
Pang Lingyan naturally knew the position of Chunya in her daughter's heart. She loved her like her own younger sister and had asked her to find a good family to marry into and become his wife long ago.
Now that Chunya has been captured, one can imagine how anxious her daughter is.
With red eyes, Song Qingwan told the whole story, and Pang Lingyan's eyes gradually became cold.
Zhao Yuanshen actually set his sights on her daughter.
"Wan'er, don't be afraid. Mother will go with you. I will personally capture Zhao Yuanshen."
After saying that, he was about to go to his room to get the sword, but Song Qingwan stopped him quickly when she saw him.
"Mother, no! Zhao Yuanshen is no longer the same as he was back then. He is now the high priest of the Southern Xinjiang royal family. Besides, grandpa is in such poor health. How can you leave?"
"But how can mother let you go without worrying? You have just recovered from your injury. What if there is danger again?"
"Ajin left Awu to me, and today I want to ask you to look after Prince Huai's mansion after Ajin and I are gone."
Pang Lingyan finally nodded helplessly. Song Qingwan was right. Master Pang really couldn't leave anyone now.
Finally, Song Qingwan came to the princess's mansion and asked the eldest princess to help look after Shen Jingyi, as she was afraid that the emperor would go crazy and kill him.
