Chen Dong moved quickly. Before Song Zhibin and his friends had finished packing their bags, he came over, drank a sip of tea in an exaggerated manner, called out Song Heng's name excitedly, and said a little excitedly: "Guess who this person is?!"
Song Heng glared at him.
The two of them said they were subordinates of their superiors, but in fact they were good friends who grew up together. They had been struggling in Jizhou since they were young, and they sneaked out of the pass together. They also encountered the Wala cavalry. They were both young at that time and were almost killed. Fortunately, Song Xiangyu in the city found that they were missing and led the soldiers to chase them out. The two of them were also a little smart, so they were lucky enough to escape from the Wala people.
Since then, their relationship has been very close. Even when Song Heng joined the Jinyiwei, he joined first and then brought Chen Dong in with him.
When no one was around, Chen Dong was always quite casual with him. But when Song Heng glared at him, he realized what was happening and scratched his head, saying, "Okay, there's no one else here. Let's get down to business. Do you know who the beauty in the painting is?"
Song Heng raised his eyebrows and signaled him to speak quickly.
Chen Dong sat next to him and handed the cup to Song Heng naturally, saying with a hint of sarcasm: "This beauty is... the concubine of Prince Fenyang."
... ...
Prince Fenyang is now the most respected prince in the royal family. Apart from anything else, the emperor also trusts him, so his daughter, Princess Chun'an, also has a very prestigious status in the royal family.
This beauty is the concubine of Prince Fenyang... ..
Song Heng sighed: "What is the relationship between this woman and Lai Weiqi?"
“It’s hard to say.” Chen Dong shook his head, but his tone was quite ambiguous: “Anyway, it doesn’t matter on the surface. The faces of noble ladies should not be spread outside. The reason why I confirmed the identity of the beauty in the painting was because I went to find my father.”
Chen Dong's father is now in the Taichang Temple, in charge of things like offerings and sacrifices. He knows a little more about the ladies who have received imperial edicts than ordinary people.
He looked at Song Heng, somewhat suspicious of why Su Yao took out this painting: "I don't know how Miss Su Si got this painting. Did she want us to check the identity of the woman in the painting? Now it turns out that she is the concubine of Prince Fenyang. Even so..."
Song Heng sneered: "Are you stupid? That's a good thing!"
Seeing Chen Dong looking at him blankly, Song Heng snorted and threw the walnut in his hand high and caught it again, saying coldly: "They keep testing the Su family and our Song family and looking for trouble with us. It's time for us to create some trouble for them."
Chen Dong seemed to understand, but after hearing what Song Heng said, he thought about it for a while before clapping his hands and laughing: "I understand! In that case, should we use this incident to... kill Lai Weiqi by surprise?"
Speaking of which, Lai Weiqi is indeed very annoying, just like a fly buzzing around non-stop.
No matter what, being able to use this incident to cause trouble for him is indeed a good deal.
Chen Dong immediately stood up and said, "I'll take care of this. Don't worry, I'll make sure he gets what he deserves!"
Song Heng held his chin and looked at Chen Dong slowly: "First find out the identity of this woman. She may be a poor person. King Fenyang is not a generous person. Don't hurt her."
Chen Dong responded.
Just as he left, Song Xiangyu came in, sat opposite Song Heng, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked at Song Heng with raised eyebrows: "Son, I'm leaving tomorrow."
Song Heng hummed and had no other reaction.
Song Xiangyu was a little dissatisfied: "Why don't you say a few nice words? I raised you with all my heart, it's not easy for me? Now I have to go back to my hometown to farm, isn't it because of you? You really don't know how to feel sorry for others."
He kept complaining, but then he added, "Listen to your grandfather and master in everything. Don't be stubborn and don't stand out. I know you are angry, but it's not the right time yet... You have already walked most of the way ahead. Don't fall at this critical moment, okay?"
He was already choking unconsciously.
It is true that it was Song Che who brought Song Heng back from Baihe Temple, but before that, it was Song Xiangyu who saved Song Heng in Dengzhou.
When he led people to rescue, the former crown prince had already died. It was a maid from the Song family who was skilled in martial arts who protected the dying crown princess, hid in a private house, and gave birth to Song Heng.
The Crown Princess was so frightened that she hemorrhaged heavily after giving birth to Song Heng. At that time, Song Heng was like a little mouse, wrinkled, covered with bloodstains, and wrapped in a robe, crying loudly.
Song Xiangyu will never forget the trust given to him by the Crown Princess before she passed away, nor will he forget the sharp cry of Song Heng in his cradle.
Later, he placed Song Heng in Baihe Temple, and Song Che named him Heng.
Live longer, have perseverance, endurance, and persistence, and always remember where you came from.
Such a small child has finally grown up...
Song Heng's eyes gradually softened. He took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss." After a pause, he added sincerely, "Dad, because of me, you and the Crown Prince's wife almost became a couple of enemies over the years. You didn't care about my elder brother and sister... Take this opportunity to get along with them well, they will understand."
Song Xiangyu sniffed, and in the blink of an eye he was back to his usual self: "Brat, is it your turn to teach me a lesson? I know much more than you do! Just take care of yourself!"
The father and son talked for a while, and then Song Che sent someone over to ask them to go together. Song Xiangyu and his friends would be returning home tomorrow, so they had to have dinner together today.
When Song Heng arrived, the Crown Prince's wife was talking with Mrs. Wang Wu and the others. When she saw Song Heng and Song Xiangyu coming in, the Crown Prince's wife was much calmer than before. She squeezed Mrs. Wang Wu's hand and said, "Wenhua, we are not in the capital anymore. He is your brother. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. After so many things, you should be able to see that he is indeed a man with good intentions. From now on, only you two will be left in the capital. You must support each other in the future, otherwise I will not be able to rest assured."
She had made a big mistake and had lost her position as the crown prince of her family. She didn't know when she would get it back. She couldn't let her daughter hate Song Heng as she did before. After all, Song Heng was someone who had a say in the old man's eyes. Now he was a deputy in the Embroidered Uniform Guard and was liked by the emperor. They got along well and he was also her daughter's support.
