Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just because Song Jingchen didn’t say anything didn’t an that she hadn’t thought of it.
“What do you an by handing you over? What for?” Shangguan Han did not understand much, but it had sothing to do with Nangong Xia’s death. He clenched his fists and said, “In that situation, even without Mother, that woman would not have survived. I’ll send soone to explain it to Second Brother now. If he doesn’t believe and insists on fighting, we’ll fight with him.’
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes.
“You haven’t even sat on the throne, and you’re already thinking about using the power of the emperor. You’re amazing, young man.” he thought.
Shangguan Han’s face turned red from her subtle actions. “Did I say anything wrong?”
Shen Yijia shook her head. “No, I support you.”
It was a fight. Perhaps she could get a general to play with.
Song Jingchen was speechless for a mont before saying seriously, “Aunt, we all know that the Wu Kingdom only needs a reason. What happens after we hand you over? If they propose to hand Ah Han over to repay his mother’s debt, do we still have to send Ah Han to them?”
The reason why he said that was because he was worried that Song Li would do sothing irreparable if that happened.
Knowing what Song Li’s problem was, he continued, “Even without him, the emperor would have found another reason to deal with our Song family. Therefore, the deaths of grandfather and father have nothing to do with you. They won’t bla you.”
Be it Shangguan Yu or Shangguan Pu, the reason why they chose to fra the Song family was because they had grasped the emperor’s intentions.
In the end, the emperor was the true culprit. As long as he could tolerate the Song family, what happened back then would not have happened.
At the ntion of that heartless person, the disgust in Song Li’s eyes was undisguised.
“What are you going to do next?” she asked.
Song Jingchen said, “Many ministers from the interdiate court have co to visit in the past few days. I think sothing will happen in the next few days.”
With Elder Zhao and the other ministers deliberately spreading the news, the news that the emperor had gone crazy had long spread.
At first, so people did not believe it, but after seeing the emperor’s appearance with their own eyes, they had to believe it.
How was a lunatic supposed to govern a country?
It was obvious why the ministers had co to visit at this ti.
As for Lord Rui’s faction, Count Xuan Ping had yet to give up on looking for Shangguan Heng.
However, with Miss Yuan’s cooperation, what happened outside the village did not reach Shangguan Heng’s ears at all.
Since they couldn’t even find him, Song Jingchen wasn’t worried that Count Xuan Ping would co out and cause trouble.
Just as Song Jingchen had said, after the ministers of the imperial court were rejected by Shangguan Han for various reasons, they finally chose to “force” Shangguan Han to ascend the throne by kneeling outside the residence for a long ti.
Elder Zhao even invited the empress dowager out.
Shangguan Han was “forced” by everyone. In the end, he could only nod and say that he would continue to let the imperial physician treat the emperor. Once the emperor recovered from his illness, the throne would be returned to him.
The ministers were touched by his pure heart and praised him profusely.
Many scholars also wrote poems and songs to praise him.
Every ti this happened, Shangguan Han would always look for his cousin, Song Jingchen, to brag.
However, Shen Yijia was disgusted. There were a few tis when she almost swung her fists at him.
Mid-December.
It was a month before the three-month deadline given by Ji Yunxi. Shangguan Han had already taken over most of the matters in the imperial court. He was only waiting for the Imperial Astronors to choose an auspicious day to ascend the throne.
Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia were also prepared to set off for the Xuanyuan Kingdom.
Before setting off, Song Jingchen brought his entire family into the palace to see Shangguan Qingyu, who had beco a complete lunatic.
They went to pay their respects to Old Master Song and Duke Song.
Shen Yijia did not forget to say goodbye to Madam Qiu, Xiao Ruoshui, and Yuan
Yuwan.
Speaking of Madam Qiu, because MO Yuan wanted to go with them, Shen Yijia was worried that her condition would suddenly worsen when they were not around, so she secretly rubbed the spiritual liquid that had just condensed in the past half a month into one of the pills she had to take every day. When she finished this bottle of dicine, her body would recover.
At the Bulwark Duke Residence.
Due to the commotion caused by Shangguan Yu, they had just moved in a few days ago.
Madam Li packed their luggage and sighed. “Our family couldn’t spend New Year’s Eve together last year. This ti, you’re going on a long trip. I don’t know when you’ll be able to co back.”
“Mother, when my husband and I bring Miaomiao and Lin Shao back, we’ll spend New Year’s Eve together every year in the future.” Shen Yijia snuggled into her arms and pretended to be obedient.
At the ntion of Lin Shao and his sister, Madam Li beca even more lancholic. “Miaomiao’s body is weaker than other children. I wonder how she’s been this month.”
“Don’t worry, Lin Shao will take good care of her.”
“I heard that the Valley of Heavenly Secrets is very dangerous.”
“No matter how dangerous they are, can they be more dangerous than my fists?” Shen Yijia clenched her fists and gestured. “If they don’t let the Lin siblings go, I’ll turn the Valley of Heavenly Secrets upside down.”
“You…”
“Mother, what if I want to eat the food you made when I’m outside? Why don’t you make a few more pancakes for ? I can take them out and take a few bites if I want to eat them.
“I would have forgotten if you hadn’t ntioned it. How can you bring so many big pancakes? Mother will make so dried at for you. You can also bring the dried food I made last ti.”
Song Jingchen looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were heading straight for the kitchen in amusent. He thought for a mont and instructed South Wind to call Fan Mingyuan to the study..
