Chapter 186 Imperial Edict
Unless you want to die.
Song Yunxi gave Jiang Yanting a look: You can't die even if you want to! Think about it yourself, do you want to die quickly or die in torture?
Jiang Yanting nodded in appreciation: Xiao Si is the one who thinks things through!
The eye contact between the two senior and junior brothers and sisters made Ye Xuanqi laugh. It seemed that his second cousin was one of the few people who could control her.
When Ning Zhening wished he could die, Eunuch Sun appeared with his men. It was like a savior to Wen Yuanhou's family.
Compared to the father and his two sons who were already unable to move, Madam Song was the least injured. She fell and crawled to the feet of Eunuch Sun, calling out incoherently: "Eunuch, help me... help me!"
How could that disheveled and twisted appearance resemble the glorious Marquise of the past?
Song Shaozhang endured the pain and struggled to speak: "Eunuch, they... they used private punishment to murder the court official. They simply... simply did not take the emperor and Jin'an laws seriously!"
Song Zheyang, who was in so much pain that he couldn't speak but whose mind was still clear, closed his eyes in despair.
None of his parents and brothers could see the situation clearly.
Don't they know who Song Wentian is? Even if he sits on the throne, the emperor will never suspect that he is plotting to usurp the throne.
That’s right, the emperor has absolute trust in Song Wentian.
It is precisely because of this that they did not dare to take the risk of getting rid of the emperor and letting the Sixth Prince directly succeed to the throne.
Sure enough, after hearing what Song Shaozhang said, Eunuch Sun looked at him like an idiot, and finally came to the conclusion that the couple were indeed idiots.
Otherwise, why would he not acknowledge his own daughter, who was so bright, intelligent and beautiful, but instead acknowledge a fool born by a wet nurse as his daughter?
Birds of a feather flock together!
Under the expectant gaze of Song Shaozhang and his wife, Eunuch Sun finally took out the imperial edict that struck them like lightning.
When Emperor Qinglong learned that the Song family broke into the Imperial Master's Mansion and caused a lot of trouble, he was furious. He immediately ordered Eunuch Sun to deprive Song Shaozhang of his title of Marquis Wenyuan and punished them to reflect on their mistakes in seclusion and temporarily not attend court.
Not only was his title taken away from him, but his job was also terminated, which was a fatal blow to Song Shaozhang and his son Song Zheyang.
But that’s not all, Emperor Qinglong ordered He Wenrui to bring the imperial guards here just to have them punished with caning.
Eunuch Sun bowed respectfully to Song Wentian and the others, then said with a smile, "The Emperor specifically told me not to defile the Imperial Master's Mansion, let alone disturb the young lady, and to bring them back..."
Eunuch Sun paused and continued, "Take him back to the Song Mansion to be punished."
Song Wentian nodded slightly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Song smiled and repeated what Emperor Qinglong said: "The emperor asked me to tell the imperial teacher that after enjoying the family happiness with the eldest lady, he must not forget to go to the palace to see his senior brother."
Eunuch Sun had served Emperor Qinglong for decades, so he naturally knew that the relationship between Emperor Qinglong and the Imperial Preceptor had never been that of monarch and subject but rather of brothers.
Song Wentian found it funny when he thought of Emperor Qinglong's expression of being anxious and expectant yet pretending to be calm. The corners of his lips slightly raised, "Eunuch, go back to the palace and tell the emperor that I will come to visit him when I am free."
After receiving a satisfactory reply, Eunuch Sun was very happy and said, "In that case, I will take my leave."
After walking a few steps, he stopped and asked Song Yunxi, "The thing that the eldest lady gave me last time... that thing is called health medicine. I wonder if you can write a recipe for me? After returning to the palace, I can go to the Imperial Hospital to get some for myself."
As he got older, his physical and mental strength were no longer as good as before. When the emperor was handling government affairs, he would serve by his side and sometimes he would even fall asleep while standing.
The last time, it was the eldest lady who saw that his legs were weak when he walked, so she prescribed some health medicine for him.
He had taken a lot of medicine from the Imperial Hospital but none of them had any effect, so he didn't hold out any hope at first. He just hoped that his body wouldn't get any weaker.
But after eating it for a few days, I feel much better and even have more energy.
"Some of the medicines were collected by me in Shengyun Mountain. The Imperial Hospital in the Palace also has those wild herbs."
Song Yunxi smiled kindly and said, "I'll make more in the next two days and bring them to you when I enter the palace."
Eunuch Sun expressed his sincere gratitude: "Thank you very much, Miss."
"Don't be polite to me, father-in-law. If you feel unwell or need any medicine, you can tell me. I dare not say anything else, but my medical skills are pretty good."
Eunuch Sun was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. He expressed his gratitude again before leaving.
Ye Xuanke was confused: "Eunuch Sun is a man close to my father, but he is a servant after all. You really don't need to be so polite to him."
Although Ye Xuan Ke had been bullied when he was young, it was all caused by those in higher positions. Besides, he was a prince after all, and this identity meant that he could not empathize with a servant.
The smile on Song Yunxi's face disappeared instantly, and she said sternly and coldly: "The kingdom of your Ye family is held up by these servants in your eyes. Only then can you stand in a high position with luxurious clothes and food and look down on them. Without these servants, you, Ye Xuanke, are nothing!"
His arrogant attitude completely angered Song Yunxi.
[You are the master, but what did you do for Jin'an in your previous life? You worked hard to earn military merit for Song Muxue, and fought on the battlefield for Song Muxue. Where were you when Jin'an was destroyed? You died under Song Muxue's scheme, and it was your sister who took on the responsibility of defending the country and the city! ]
[You Ran died in battle, and it was the servant Eunuch Sun you mentioned who risked his life to collect her body and bury her together with the people. The enemy army attacked the palace, and all the generals and soldiers died in the battle. It was the servant Eunuch Sun who led a few young eunuchs to resist the enemy army and protect the women in the palace from being abused and tortured by the enemy army.]
[It was also Eunuch Sun who stood alone outside the Chongzheng Palace and fought to the death, refusing to kneel down and surrender even if he died in battle, thus protecting the last dignity of your Ye clan.]
[When the slave you mentioned was doing all this, where was you, Song Muxue's licker? What qualifications do you have to look down on Eunuch Sun? ]
Song Yunxi shouted these words in her heart.
If the fact of her rebirth wasn't so shocking, she really wanted to point at Ye Xuan Ke's nose and curse at him and tell him everything.
Ye Xuanqi was also quite shocked. He couldn't imagine that Eunuch Sun, who always followed the situation, tried to guess his father's thoughts, and was even a little greedy, would do such a righteous thing.
No wonder she has always treated Eunuch Sun differently.
Although she never looked down on anyone, she was always aloof and kept people at a distance.
Only Eunuch Sun did she not only take the initiative to greet and say hello to, but also always showed great concern for him.
Ye Xuanqi knew very well that it was not only Ye Xuanke who made Song Yunxi angry, but also him and all those who thought they were superior.
