Chapter 263: Chapter 263 Princely Heir Qi Yun is Always Ready to Make a Move
Hearing this, Song Chongzhen panickedly looked around, but after seeing that no one was around, he cald down.
“How does Miss Qi Yue know?”
Qi Yue let out a cold sneer.
“Is it difficult? Although that woman was worried that you might die, she didn’t show a trace of genuine affection. When you were unconscious, she didn’t shed a single tear. Moreover, I heard that you have a newborn son, but that woman has been here for many days without the slightest look of concern, as if she isn’t worried about your son at all?”
“Thud…”
Song Chongzhen heavily knelt down, and gave Qi Yue three kowtows in succession.
...
“Miss Qi Yue, please let stay! I beg you…”
Qi Yue furrowed her brows and after a long while, reluctantly said, “Seeing that you have not done anything to harm , if you want to stay, then stay. However, I want to tell you sothing, giving in is not a way to solve problems, think about your wife and child.”
Song Chongzhen watched Qi Yue’s receding figure, heavily sat down on the ground and, after a long while, finally covered his face and began to sob.
In the afternoon, the Beiyuan Envoy indeed arrived on ti and settled into Qingyu Pavilion.
Though this place was also within Plum Blossom Villa, it was quite far away from Yii Garden.
It was said that it had been over a decade since they had hosted any envoys, which is why they had soone clean the place up recently.
This made Qi Yue sowhat puzzled.
With so many courtyards, why not stay in any one of them, she also couldn’t understand what the Donggao Emperor was really thinking.
Actually, Qi Yue misunderstood the situation.
This was all arranged by Song Qiyun, since he also wanted to take advantage of the evening banquet to accomplish a big task.
In the evening, as she saw off over ten envoys in luxurious carriages leaving Plum Blossom Villa towards the Imperial City, Qi Yue happily called Zhu Ye over to start the al.
One must be well-fed to tackle affairs!
Right when they were about to finish eating, Song Chongzhen suddenly appeared.
He didn’t announce himself, just hurriedly rushed in as if being followed by a ghost, startling Qi Yue.
“Song Chongzhen, what are you doing?” Zhu Ye was the first to intercept, blocking his way.
This youngster had already witnessed Qi Yue’s might, and since Liao Ye was sent away, she had beco even more diligent.
Let’s not speak of how sincere this interception just was, at the very least, the attitude was there.
Qi Yue set down her chopsticks and leisurely wiped her mouth.
“Let him co here, Zhu Ye. You go stand outside, and don’t let anyone in.”
“Yes.”
Zhu Ye efficiently went out, even closing the dining room door behind her.
“Speak, what is it? I’m busy, you have only the ti it takes for half a cup of tea. Think about whether you want to speak or not, and how. Hmm?”
“Miss Qi Yue!”
Seeing that Song Chongzhen was about to kneel again, Qi Yue stopped him, “Don’t hurry to kneel. I’ve saved your life twice now, which is already beyond my dical ethics. It’s not sothing you can repay with just kneeling.”
Upon hearing this, Song Chongzhen “wooed” and began crying, but quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
“…Miss Qi Yue, the Crown Prince Qiyun asked to find a way to stay by your side to help him with sothing.”
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, quietly listening to Song Chongzhen explain why he was desperate to stay.
“The Crown Prince Qiyun said that you are not an easy person to manipulate, and you are too capable; ordinary sches can’t touch you, but after all, you are a woman, and you are prideful and aloof, as long as… as long as…”
At this point, Song Chongzhen seed to struggle to continue, but Qi Yue instantly read the aning behind his words from his expression.
“As long as what… just say it.”
“…The Crown Prince Qiyun said, as long as he has you, and lets the Beiyuan Envoy and the people of Beiyuan know about it, then you will have no way out.”
Have her?
What is Song Qiyun thinking? He really dares to think!
Qi Yue scoffed twice, she didn’t even deem it worth getting angry over.
She had seen this plot too many tis.
No matter the dynasty, these brain-swelled ancient n always had this trick up their sleeves.
—Once a man possesses a woman, the woman will obediently listen to the man, becoming manipulatable, because her reputation is ruined, making her unwelco in the world.
Even in modern tis, although it’s said that won can live without n, there isn’t a single woman who would accept the taste of being bitten by a scumbag.
An old yet vicious plan.
Song Qiyun really is ruthless!
If tonight she allowed even the slightest thing from Yewang Prefecture to remain, then she might as well write the Qi character upside down.
“…Did he ntion any specific action plans?”
“Not yet,” Song Chongzhen shook his head, “Firstly, my minor injuries haven’t healed, and secondly, based on the Crown Prince Qiyun’s intentions, we’re to wait until the Beiyuan Envoy arrives before taking action, so I can gain your trust as much as possible.”
“What else do you know about this matter?”
Song Chongzhen thought for a mont, “I heard Crown Prince Qiyun say that if his plan succeeds, it will kill three birds with one stone, and even if Crown Prince Qingshan cos, it will be of no use!”
Qi Yue was puzzled.
“Are you referring to Song Qingshan? What does he have to do with this matter?”
“Miss Qi may not be aware, but the letter from the Emperor stated that Miss Qi would enter into a royal marriage with the Beiyuan royal family, without specifying a particular person. Crown Prince Qingshan is the Fox King’s only son, naturally, he also has the opportunity to win Miss Qi’s heart.”
Imdiately, the startling scenes of the horse incident from the day before flashed in Qi Yue’s mind, and she couldn’t help shaking her head.
Despite there not being major issues, he was not suitable.
She still preferred the looks and temperant of Zhao Xiyan’s type.
“Miss Qi, I will leave after this. Now that the Beiyuan Envoy has arrived, after tonight, Crown Prince Qiyun could act at any mont. You must be very careful!”
Seeing that Song Chongzhen’s expression was a bit off and recalling that fake wife by his side, Qi Yue had a thought.
“You haven’t accomplished your task, will he let you off when you return?”
“My life is as insignificant as grass. Now that I’ve spoken out, I’m not afraid anymore. Miss Qi is right, retreating continuously won’t solve any problems and will only harm others; that’s why I’ve decided to accept my fate.”
After speaking, Song Chongzhen gave a deep bow to Qi Yue and turned to leave.
“Stop.” Qi Yue promptly called out, “Did I say you could leave? Make yourself clear. What did Song Qiyun do to your child and wife?”
Upon hearing this, Song Chongzhen’s body trembled, and tears stread down his cheeks, instantly dampening his dark clothing.
Qi Yue always found it hard to watch soone cry.
Especially a man shedding tears for his family, for his wife.
“Since you’ve revealed these matters to , I should offer sothing in return. Speak up! Perhaps I can help you out.”
Qi Yue was utterly shocked when she learned the whole truth.
She had been confident that she had seen through all of Song Qiyun’s disguises, but she hadn’t anticipated that he could be so cruel as to not even spare a newborn child!
He was truly a beast!
She found it incomprehensible.
How could Song Qiyun so effortlessly switch between being suprely evil and suffering in desolate indifference?
Thinking of her visit to Yewang Prefecture tonight, Qi Yue ca up with an excellent idea.
“Are you sure your wife and child are in Yewang Prefecture?”
“Positive.”
“Alright then, go back and wait. Keep a close watch tonight and don’t let anyone near my room.”
Understanding Qi Yue’s intention, Song Chongzhen imdiately knelt and bowed deeply.
“Thank you, Miss Qi. I will make sure to watch carefully.”
After getting involved in Song Chongzhen’s affairs, Qi Yue inadvertently had one more task to handle.
However, this didn’t add much pressure to her; she would just need to bring those two into her space when the ti ca.
Of course, Qi Yue also considered whether this might be a ploy set by Song Chongzhen and Song Qiyun, just waiting for her to fall into the trap.
But after so thought, Qi Yue felt it didn’t quite fit.
After all, Song Chongzhen’s injuries were genuine, and he had indeed faced death twice; if he could still harm others under those circumstances, then he truly deserved to die.
In any case, she had her space at her disposal, so there wouldn’t be any issues regardless of what happened, and she could if needed turn Yanjing upside down.
She refused to believe that, relying solely on Song Qiyun, they could make her stay in Yanjing.
That was a joke!
