The two had been together since childhood and their relationship was extraordinary. Many things that others said would always be suspected of being false, but when they came out of Song Xiangyu's mouth, Emperor Yuanfeng felt that it was as it should be. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Xiangyu, sneered with a bit of indifference: "If I knew why, what would the use of the three divisions be?"
Song Xiangyu was not very happy: "Prince Fenyang said that he was addicted to gambling, so he accepted Jin Dong's benefits, but I think there is something else going on here. Even if he is a prince and has been convicted of all his faults, what can you do to him? At most, you can imprison him or deprive him of his title. Can you really kill him? Those people are eager to kill him, regardless of the risks. After killing him, they want to take advantage of the organization to frame Chen Dong. Isn't it obvious that they are targeting Ah Heng for other purposes?"
Only he dared to say this. Emperor Yuanfeng glared at him and said, "You are so careless! You are already a grandfather, but you still don't know the seriousness of the matter!"
This scolding would probably make others feel terrified, but Song Xiangyu just laughed and didn't take it seriously. He sighed after Emperor Yuanfeng finished scolding him, "Don't I really feel sorry for Ah Heng? Poor boy, it's not easy for him to survive and grow up. If he hadn't fallen into my hands by chance, how could he be where he is today? He has the blessing to return to his original position, don't let those villains harm him again!"
Seeing him chattering non-stop, Emperor Yuanfeng couldn't help but feel a headache. After a few words, he asked him, "Have you finished talking? If you have, go see Ah Heng. I don't know who he inherited this temper from, he is as stubborn as a cow. The Queen Mother was very angry about his affairs, but he was fine, as if nothing had happened. After all, he is the eldest grandson of the emperor. If he himself does not know the words filial piety and righteousness, won't he be criticized in the future? How can he convince the public?"
Speaking of this, Song Xiangyu also looked bitter and resentful: "This child's temper may need some time to be cured. I will go and persuade him later. He is a smart child. Slowly, he will get better."
He asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, you have already overturned the verdict for the late crown prince, so why don't you just be a good person to the end... You are wise and you know what is wrong with this child. If you help him..."
Emperor Yuanfeng's face darkened: "Don't mention this now! Go and see him. I will give justice to the Su and Wang families this time!"
Since he said so, Song Xiangyu knew that he couldn't say anything more. He responded helplessly, kowtowed respectfully, and came out, led by the eunuch to Chonghua Palace.
Xiao Heng was asking people to carry buckets of ice and snow to wipe their bodies. It was icy and snowy, and the snow on the body was enough to make people feel cold just by looking at it.
The fifth prince stood in the corridor, hugging the stove and looking at it with a toothache. After wiping several buckets of snow, he hurriedly asked someone: "Hurry up and send the clothes up! It's so cold and snowy..."
Ever since Xiao Heng came into the palace, the Fifth Prince felt that his boring life suddenly became interesting. Xiao Heng always had countless ways to make himself happy, and he could make simple days interesting.
Compared to Prince Zhuang, the Fifth Prince was brought up under the restraint of Concubine Pang and Emperor Yuanfeng. He was less scheming and had a good understanding of himself. Even though he had thought of competing with Prince Zhuang because of his domineering behavior, he was later discouraged by Concubine Pang's indifference. Therefore, the Fifth Prince was the one who accepted the fact of having a nephew the fastest.
He would definitely run to Chonghua Palace as soon as the get out of class was over.
The uncle and nephew are of similar age, and they get along quite well together.
Seeing Xiao Heng put on his clothes, the Fifth Prince sighed, shuddered, and asked him, "Can you do this? If you are sick, it's no joke. Don't take it lightly. The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon and it will be the New Year. If you get sick again, it will be seen as more than just an illness."
No matter what, the Fifth Prince said this to him out of pure kindness, so Xiao Heng naturally would not be rude and hummed, "Don't worry, I've been like this since I was a child. At that time, I followed my... followed the Prince of Guangping, and stayed at the border. There were no such things to be particular about. Besides, it's also a way to exercise my body, so I'm used to it."
"That's good." The fifth prince patted his shoulder and said, "Did you hear that Chen Dong is fine now?"
Xiao Heng paused for a moment, then returned to normal: "Oh? What do you mean?"
The Fifth Prince was beaming with joy when he mentioned this matter, and he recounted the whole cause and effect: "It was Qiaodan Ning who deliberately cried thief. He killed Prince Fenyang and framed Chen Dong for the crime, and he also went to cause trouble for the Wang family. Such a villain always uses dirty means. He has no ability and can only attack women and children. If it weren't for the timely arrival of Earl Yongding... Oh no, speaking of which, Miss Wang and Miss Su Si were also smart. They sent a maid to take the place of someone else. Qiaodan Ning didn't even know that it was a maid, and insisted that it was Miss Wang. She couldn't even tell who she was, and she also said that there was a private relationship and a private transaction? It's a joke! She has lost herself in the matter, and also implicated He Zhizhou. It can be said that evil has been rewarded with evil."
Xiao Heng's eyes were cold.
Now his identity has been restored, but it has brought more troubles. He is now of noble status, but he is like an eagle with clipped wings, unable to fly out of the shackles.
Now it was impossible to even receive messages normally, let alone know the situation outside and make arrangements. This was like being deaf and blind.
We have to think of a way.
Thinking of this, he thought of Tian Rui, who had been trying to get close to him these days, and raised his eyebrows slightly, but he quickly suppressed the idea.
It really wasn't his style to take advantage of women.
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard the Fifth Prince shout, "Nephew, the Marquis of Guangping's son is here! Look!"
Xiao Heng turned around suddenly and saw Song Xiangyu coming in behind a little eunuch. He still looked familiar. He stood there for a moment, and after a while he quickly took a few steps forward. He moved his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Song Xiangyu knelt on the ground first: "May His Royal Highness the Grandson live in peace and happiness!"
Xiao Heng had already helped her up, pursed her lips, and said after a while: "You're back!"
Song Xiangyu hurried to pay his respects to the Fifth Prince, but was exempted from the formalities by the Fifth Prince. Then he replied to Xiao Heng, "Yes, thanks to you. I just came back not long ago and just went to pay my respects to His Majesty."
