Chapter 908 Miaojiang Youth X Black-bellied Prince 20
The guard sneaked into the Sky Prison according to Song Heng's idea, but he was not in a hurry. After hearing the footsteps, he pretended to put the knife on the neck of the man in black.
"I can't keep you here."
But before he could do anything, a loud shout came over him.
"stop!"
At the same time, many officers and soldiers rushed over and overwhelmed the guard.
After pretending to resist a few times, he was forced to kneel in front of Song Tiancheng and Song An.
"An'er's idea is indeed good. Someone will really come and do it."
Song An pretended to be weak and stood beside him.
"Let's interrogate him now to find out who is behind this."
Song An nodded and signaled the people behind him to take him into the Sky Prison for torture. The guards suddenly became scared.
He immediately shook off the hand that was holding him and kowtowed heavily to the two people in front of him.
"I confessed everything. The Third Prince forced me to do it. I would never have dared to commit such a heinous crime.
But I have no choice. The Third Prince threatened my 70-year-old mother's life. I had no choice but to agree."
Although Song Tiancheng was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but tremble when he heard the truth in front of him.
"Are you sure?"
The guard kowtowed heavily again.
"I swear that what I just said is not a lie. My life is not worth cherishing. I only ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty to spare my life... and the life of my 70-year-old mother."
Song An pretended to look at him with pity.
"Father, this man is considered a filial son. Why don't you forgive him?"
Song Tiancheng's face turned black at this moment, and his anger was rising.
But when facing Song An, he still suppressed his anger a little.
"I'll go back first. You can do whatever you want with this person, An'er."
After saying this, he left the prison directly.
Song An glanced at the guard indifferently and ordered his men to let him go.
After leaving the palace, the guard went straight home.
He was not lying, he really had a 70-year-old mother at home.
And Yu Yu was standing at the door of his house.
The guard seemed a little scared when he saw him, and said tremblingly: "I have done what you ordered, and this is also the reason why I came back, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Can I take my mother away now?"
Yu Yu nodded: "Of course, just take these with you, go to a place far away from the capital, and live the rest of your life in peace and stability."
As Yu Yu spoke, he handed the thick stack of silver bills in his hand to the guard.
A dozen of that thickness would be worth at least 10,000 taels of silver. After handing it to him, Yu Yu left.
The guard also packed up some things with his mother and set out to leave the capital.
I guess I'll never come back.
The same thing happened to Song Heng. Before he could even sit down, he was called to the palace by Song Tiancheng.
When Song Tiancheng saw him coming in, he threw the testimony here directly at him.
"You evil creature, he is your brother! Do you want this position so badly? You want it so badly that you are willing to murder your own brother to get it!"
Song Tiancheng hated the struggle for the throne very much. His elder brother from the same father and mother also died in the struggle for the throne. Only after his brother's death did he protect himself and ascend to the throne.
He hated this kind of behavior very much. Before the truth of the matter came out, he was still wondering if there was a misunderstanding. But when Song An laid the truth of the incident half a year ago in front of him, he knew that there must be no misunderstanding.
Song Heng looked at him and realized that the truth was revealed, but he was still being stubborn and unwilling to admit it.
"Father, what are you talking about? I don't understand..."
Song Tiancheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"You still want to play dumb in front of me now, so I will tell you something you can understand."
He laughed in anger.
"The third prince Song Heng was demoted to the frontier for training due to his misconduct, and Wu Zhao is not allowed to return to the capital."
These words were spoken to the eunuch who was standing next to him and drafting the imperial edict.
Song Heng's face turned pale and he cried for mercy.
This matter has touched Song Tiancheng's bottom line, and he will never forgive him.
After the incident, his mother, Concubine De, also came to beg for mercy.
But it was all of no use, and three days later Song Heng also left the capital.
By the time the dust settled, Song An's position would be more stable.
He also secretly brought Shen Xi back.
When they arrived at the East Palace, Song An blocked Shen Xi's sight with his hands.
"What are you doing, brother? You clearly said it's a new home, why won't you let me see it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song An put his hand down.
There is a big plum tree in the yard, which Song An had people pull up from the countryside.
When the two of them were shopping in the evening, Shen Xi mentioned that the plum blossoms were beautiful. After hearing this, Song An kept it in mind and had them moved in soon after.
Someone was sent to take good care of him, and only then was he saved.
"Is this the one we saw last time we were shopping?"
Song An put his arms around his waist from behind and rested his chin on his shoulder.
"Xixi's memory is so good? It's that one."
Shen Xi slowly reached out and held onto its trunk.
"I remember this place very clearly. There was a triangular scratch drawn by someone. So I recognized it."
"Like it?"
"Like it."
Song An protected people very well, and the Eastern Palace was full of his people. Those people kept their mouths shut and would not talk nonsense outside.
So until Song Tiancheng passed away and Song An ascended the throne, those people didn't know that there was such a beauty kept in the Eastern Palace.
Time passed quickly, and it had been more than half a year since Song An ascended the throne.
Both the people in the court and Qi Siying were urging him openly or secretly to take a concubine to expand the royal family.
"Mother, I have someone I like, please don't rush me."
Qi Siying paused while peeling the orange, her eyes full of surprise.
"Whose family is she from? Why didn't you tell your mother? If you like her, just marry her right away..."
She kept talking and Song An couldn't help but interrupt her.
"He is not some young lady who has always lived in the East Palace."
Qi Siying was shocked.
"Could she be a maid? Although her status is a little low, if she is not the queen, it is still acceptable."
After all, it’s mainly because my son likes it.
Unexpectedly, Song An's next sentence was the most important one.
"He is a man."
"man?"
Song An knew that this matter violated ethics and morality, and his mother would certainly not easily agree to let him make Shen Xi the queen.
But he was not going to give up on giving him a status just because of his mother's words. His own Xixi was so good, how could she possibly stay by his side without even a status?
Song An would never let him suffer such an injustice.
"How did you two meet?"
"Half a year ago, I fell off a cliff and he saved me. If it weren't for him, I would never be standing in front of you now.
My feelings for him are not just feelings, nor are they just about repaying a favor. I love him.
I like him and I want him to be the only one for the rest of my life."
He didn't want to care about Qi Siying's thoughts. After all, no matter what she said, he would never give up the idea of making him the queen.
"Soon I will announce to the world that I will make him the queen."
