Chapter 70 Overnight

When Song Qingan woke up, he was in his inner palace.

She narrowed her eyes in discomfort, and subconsciously touched an empty space beside her with one hand.

The slightly cool touch made Song Qingan wake up a little and brought back some memories.

Last night... nothing happened last night.

She didn't know how she got back to Mingguang Palace. She only vaguely remembered that Pei Qing carried her to the dormitory.

Song Qingjing recalled it quietly while stretching.

Pei Qing lives alone all year round, and the furnishings of his bedroom are also very simple.

But it just looks simple... Pei Qing's bed is made of rosewood and mutton-fat jade. It can be said to be a priceless thing. I am afraid that the dragon bed of Emperor Liang has never been so luxurious.

Afterwards, Pei Qing hugged her and fell asleep.

It’s really...my whole body aches.

Although Pei Qing was just holding her, Song Qing'an was still nervous, fearing that he would violate his taboo when she touched something. So she kept lying on her side all night, and she was not used to sleeping on the same bed with others, so she was so stiff.

I lay naked and kept my eyes open until late at night, when I couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

So exhausted...Song Qing'an rubbed his shoulders and cursed secretly. There was no need to take a photo in front of the bronze mirror, but Song Qing'an could guess that he must look extremely haggard.

Yawning again, Song Qingan lazily pulled the straps beside the couch and called him over.

"Princess wakes up."

Zhu Yan looked as usual and lifted the curtain to help Song Qing'an.

"Weren't you on night watch yesterday?"

Zhu Yan was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said: "Princess is confused. Didn't you give the order yesterday to let Cuizhu stay on duty at night?"

Song Qingan lowered his eyelashes, thinking deeply.

She was convinced that she had never given such an order, so Pei Qing should have done it.

I don’t know how he made Zhu Yan believe that it was her who gave the order, but it was strange.

She said nothing and let Zhu Yan dress her up.

Song Qinghuai took a rest on this day, so he did not stay in the camp, but went to the mansion.

"Mr. He."

Linyuan had come to explain in advance, so Song Qinghuai knocked lightly on the door and then pushed the door open and entered.

He Xiu stood up and bowed, Song Qinghuai turned back, and the two sat opposite each other.

"Mr. He also knows that I am from the Yulin Guards. If there is no spring hunting in the future, I will go with you."

Song Qinghuai did not confess his identity to He Xiu. He only said that he was a Yulin Guard. As a royal guard, it was reasonable for Chun Shou to accompany him.

"Until then, sir, please be careful."

Song Qinghuai seriously told him that if he was not in the capital, it would be difficult for him to take care of this place. He Xiu understood this truth, and he solemnly thanked him: "Thank you so much for taking care of Zi Kuang these days, Xiu will remember it in my heart."

"Mr. He, there is something...I have wanted to ask for a long time."

"Zi Kuang just said it doesn't matter."

"Mr. He is from Beijing? Does he have family? If Mr. He comes to Beijing from other places, I can help Mr. He return to his hometown and stay away from this place."

Song Qinghuai rescued He Xiu that day. On the one hand, he did not want to see a righteous man arrested, and on the other hand, he valued his talent. However, after these days, Song Qinghuai felt that some things should not involve innocent people.

If He repairs his boat, it will be impossible to escape.

Unexpectedly, He Xiu's face changed slightly when he heard this.

"I am a rootless tree, just wandering around."

He smiled slightly sarcastically and said in a low voice: "When traitors are in power, how can there be peace in this world?"

"Mr. He, be careful what you say."

Song Qinghuai frowned slightly. Although his people were guarding this place, Dongchang's spies were everywhere, and he did not dare to say that this place was absolutely safe.

"I made a mistake, Zi Kuang, please don't take it seriously."

He Xiu smiled, raised his head and met Song Qinghuai's eyes: "If Zikuang feels that Xiu is a burden, just hand him over, there is no need to be burdened."

"Mr. He misunderstood. It's just that walls have ears. I don't want to see Mr. He in danger."

Song Qinghuai's eyebrows were warm, and his eyes were full of worry and sincerity. Seeing this, He Xiu softened his tone slightly: "Zi Kuang is concerned. But if someone wants to go to jail for telling the truth, you can see how the dynasty is..."

"You and I know it very well."

Song Qinghuai poured tea and handed it to He Xiu, with deep worry on his eyebrows.

"Mr. He, the Yulin Guards will hold a martial arts competition the next day, and select a few people to compete with Xiye during the spring hunting."

He Xiu took the tea, and Song Qinghuai continued to whisper: "But I also heard that there was no such competition originally, and the person the commander wanted to send was His Highness the Second Highness."

"This... is probably not the commander's original intention."

He Xiu tapped the table with his fingertips: "Let His Highness go down, isn't he afraid that the people in Xiye will start a conspiracy and hurt the prince? It's probably someone who has given instructions. No matter whether the Second Highness wins or loses, he will be pushed to the forefront."

What He Xiu said was exactly what Song Qinghuai thought. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "Your Highness has only been back in Beijing for less than a month, but you are already being targeted?"

"After all, His Highness the Second Highness is the only... candidate on the surface." He Xiu did not explain clearly, but both of them knew what it meant. "Zi Kuang was in the Yulin Guards, so he should have interacted with His Highness the Second Highness, right?"

"There are some, but not many." Song Qinghuai opened his eyes and told lies, "But from other people's words, His Highness seems to be a person with a good temper."

"I hope so."

He Xiu put down the tea cup and smiled: "If he can restore a peaceful world, Xiu Xiu would be willing to help him."

After saying that, He Xiu waved his hand and laughed at himself: "It's a joke, Zi Kuang, don't take it seriously."

"No, Mr. He is a talented and ambitious man, why can't you assist His Highness?"

"There should be no shortage of capable people with lofty ideals around His Highness. It is probably not his turn to be a commoner."

He Xiu chuckled and looked at Song Qinghuai: "Zi Kuang, you are kind to me, so I don't want to see anything happen to you. In the royal dispute, most of the people involved have no trace of their bodies. Zi Kuang had better not be involved in the competition in the future.

participate."

Song Qinghuai looked at He Xiu deeply, cupped his hands and said, "I will keep your words in mind."

"Zi Kuang doesn't have to be polite to me."

Song Qinghuai had achieved the purpose of his trip, so he stopped staying: "I won't disturb you anymore, sir. I'll take my leave."

He Xiu stood up and watched Song Qinghuai leave the room.

"Will Your Highness still go there to compete?"

Linyuan had been standing outside the room, and he could naturally hear what was said inside with his strong ears.

"Of course I want to go."

"But didn't Mr. He say..."

"He is persuading Zi Kuang, what does it have to do with me?" Song Qinghuai raised his eyebrows and said casually, "It is impossible for me not to go. Even if I don't go...someone will force me to go."

Since someone was trying to plot against him, how could he give up so easily? Instead of waiting for them to do something unpredictable, it was better to comply with their wishes first and wait and see.

"Then does Your Highness want to talk to the princess?"

Linyuan asked cautiously, and Song Qinghuai frowned: "No need, why are you worrying her?"

"But if the princess can also travel with the driver, when she meets His Highness, she won't be able to..."

"Yue'er is weak, why should she go hunting in spring?"

Song Qinghuai retorted first, but then pondered for a moment: "It's not impossible..."

"That's all, even if she will go, let's not mention it yet."
