Although the New Year was over, it was still cold, and Song Song did not take off his cotton-padded clothes.
On this day, the front line sent a good news, the Hongren Emperor Long Xin was very happy, and also added a bit of joy to this Spring Festival.
According to the tradition of Qianguo, the emperor of Qianguo will go to the Tianzi Tower every year to have fun with the people. So just after the fifth day of the first day, Li Xiao began to prepare for the Lantern Festival. He went out early every day and came back very late. Occasionally go to the shop to get food for Li Xiao in a different way. He inherited his skills from his grandfather. It's very good, and he almost wants to feed Li Xiao's mouth.
He likes to eat the pot, and Song Song is not afraid to work hard. He will cook this soup today and that soup tomorrow. The two of them will eat snow and wine, eat warm vegetables, and go back to the house to sleep hand in hand after chatting.
Years later, the Qin family ran to the queen again, and was finally put in the palace. The queen did not put on makeup today, she sat on it and watched her cry quietly, and when she had enough crying, she said softly: "I will listen to the matter. Say, sit down first."
When her sister sat down on the chair, she slowly said: "If the mad king doesn't die, you can't do anything about Song Song. It's useless for you to target Song Song alone."
When Qin Shi heard her words, she knew she was caring, and immediately became strict: "Then what should I do?"
"I have a plan here. If you can use it properly, your Majesty will not be able to keep him."
"What plan?"
"Although everyone in the world knows that His Majesty loves the Mad King, as if it doesn't matter if he kills anyone, the main reason is because Li Xiao is well controlled. Every time he goes mad, it's just right, and there has never been a major incident."
Qin Shi immediately nodded and said, "I understand this, but I just don't understand. What does my sister mean?"
The queen paused and said, "This matter is too dangerous. It is very likely that you won't be able to bring down the mad king, but will put yourself in."
Qin Zhihe was silent for a while. She had two children in a row, one was killed and the other was destroyed. She already hated Song Song in her heart. Naturally, she believed in her own sister more. She was not as good as these sisters and brothers since she was a child. Knowing that they are protecting her, my sister will only do things when she is instructed to do things on weekdays. That is to say, she will not watch herself die.
She said, "Sister might as well speak and listen."
The empress showed a bit of pity, and said, "I just saw that those two children are really... If it's not necessary, I won't let you do it yourself. I just think that you definitely want to burn them to ashes."
"Sister said it is very true." Qin's tears fell and said: "When Song Song killed me, he killed me Ge'er... Even if I die, I will drag him to hell!"
She kept crying again, the queen stepped forward two steps, hugged her gently and comforted her, Qin shi suddenly cried louder, the queen stroked her head, and after soothing her, said: "Yes The people who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and when His Majesty ascends to the Tower of the Son of Heaven, there must be a lot of people watching, so many people, what do you think will happen if the mad king goes mad there?"
"Yes, but what should I do?"
The queen let go of her, wiped her tears, and said, "Third sister, do you hate Song Song? You just go over in front of him and vent your hatred for Song Song. Remember, you must be in person. In many places, you just need to scold Song Song."
"Now Song Song is his weakness. On the Lantern Festival day, he will never take him with him. He will definitely hide him in the palace and send troops to guard it. If you drive him crazy, I will send someone to the palace to assassinate him. , You just lost your son now, so it's not too much to scold him this time."
Qin Shi thinks this plan is okay, but he is still a little afraid of the mad king, and the queen does not force it, and gently said: "Today the mad king will only be active near the Tianzi Tower, this is a golden opportunity, once he loses control and kills civilians People, I will secretly order people to instigate, collect a joint book to file the emperor, in order to reassure the people, the mad king will definitely be executed... And you, the pain of losing a child, everyone feels the same, according to the public opinion, Your Majesty will never move you."
Qin's heartbeat quickened: "Yes, but I dare not provoke the Mad King..."
"That's your business." The Queen whispered: "If you don't want it, forget it. I don't want you to show your face like this. I just pity my two nephews. One death and one injury... This life is over."
Qin Shi left with a heavy heart, and the queen made her preparations on the couch again, and took the tea handed over by her personal mama: "This matter... Will the third sister listen?"
"You don't understand her." The queen took a bite of the pastry and said, "But it's true that there is still a heart booster."
"what should we do?"
"You will send someone a sign later. With the sign of Dongweiying in hand, it's better not to be stopped by those officers and soldiers." She let the mother hear: "Then this..."
Qin Shi seemed to have a rabbit in her heart, and she was very uneasy. She knew that Song Guogong did not dare to get involved in these matters, except that he would curry favor with people. The Mad King could see it, so he never discussed it with him.
She was certain that her sister would not harm her, and her sister also said that this matter was dangerous, and she only made plans for her because she wanted to avenge her child.
She was walking back and forth in the yard, and suddenly heard a maid talking: "I heard that the prince is busy today, and he took the princess out to play again. Everyone in Jinwu Camp knows him."
"I didn't expect the eldest son to be able to live so well now. Back then, he was a rotten worm that was trampled on by our wife..."
"This is called Ten Years Hedong Ten Years Hexi, look at our wife now... how can we compare with him, even Qin Xiang..."
"Shh." After the maid was silent, she whispered again: "I don't know what happened, why did Qin Xiang suddenly ignore our wife..."
Qin shi's figure suddenly appeared, his eyes were gloomy and uncertain, and the two maids were frightened and trembling all over.
Yes, Song Song was originally just a rotten worm that she stepped on on the soles of her feet, but now, that rotten worm has flown into the sky... Everyone is envious, and Qin shi's desire to kill him has become more intense. Rarely did not punish these two girls, turned around and went back to the yard.
Not long after she returned, someone sent a sign. Qin took it and glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Sister sent it?"
It is the token of the Imperial Army. With the big brother's brand, she can feel at ease.
On Fu Zhao's side, he silently looked at the sign in front of him. This thing can't be called ordinary, but it's definitely not uncommon. The counselor on the side said: "It seems that Qin Xiang really no longer trusts the adults, but I don't know why he gave this thing to Qin Qinghe. Fortunately, we have someone installed in the Guogong's mansion, otherwise this brand may cause something. calamity."
"Qin Qinghe went to see the queen today?"
The counselor nodded immediately.
"It seems that the crown prince really regarded this official as an abandoned son." Fu Zhao said: "Since she wants to avenge her nephew, then don't blame this official for being rude."
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Although Song Song suffered a big change in his personality in his previous life, he was docile in his bones. Unless he was too tired, he would personally serve Li Xiao to change his clothes every day. During this time, it was cold, and he felt bad that Li Xiao had to get up early every day to run outside, especially Made a small stew on the small stove in the house to warm Li Xiao's stomach.
Song Song is more casual in the house, with long hair loose, wearing a snow-white middle shirt, at best a cotton jacket, he sits at the table, fishes out the ingredients in the stew pot with the soup and puts them in a bowl Li handed it to Li Xiao and said, "After today, everyone can rest well."
"When I arrange everything properly, I'll take you out to play at night."
"it is good."
Today, His Majesty is having fun with the people. All the troops in the city must be mobilized. The whole city is on alert. I don’t know that Li Xiao is busy. It is a good time for other countries to assassinate.
Song Song knew that it would be very lively outside today, but he didn't go out either. Li Xiao was already very busy leading his troops to protect the emperor, and he didn't want to cause the other party to worry about him anymore.
The flower seeds he sowed have already grown out. Song Song watered the water as usual, and suddenly saw a light yellow spot on the tender stem of a flower. If you were not careful, you would hardly notice it. When the flower buds were formed, a burst of joy suddenly surged in his heart.
There was movement outside. It was Ji Ying, who was wrapped like a ball. He immediately took a breath when he came in: "Oh, the place where this flower lives is warmer than my yard."
"Why did you come here?"
"My lord didn't tell you?" Ji Ying said: "Today, there will be a lot of excitement in the Tianzi Tower. He knows that you will definitely not dare to go out, so he especially asked me to come and talk to you."
Song Song frowned: "What will happen? Will he be in danger?"
"I don't know." Ji Ying asked, "Have you watered the flowers? How about going to the house to play chess?"
Song Song followed him into the room dully, but his heart was uneasy because of his words. After winning him several times in a row, Ji Ying was also a little annoyed: "If you are in a bad mood, I will go back to sleep. ."
"I'm worried about your lord."
"What are you worried about him doing, who can hurt him?"
"I'm afraid that someone will make him angry and stimulate him to hurt others."
"You can rest assured on this point, the masters of the Grand Master's Mansion are here today, and he won't let him go crazy."
Song Song grabbed his fingers, his heart was suddenly confused, and said, "I'll go out and have a look."
Bai Yan and Ji Ying followed together. Song Song walked out of the side door and saw many unfamiliar patrols nearby. Today was a serious matter, and the whole process was on alert. In addition, the number of patrols in the inner city had also increased several times.
Ji Ying said: "You can rest assured. In the past two days, except for assassins and spies, most of the people in the city will be safe. At this time, it is better to kill by mistake than to let it go. Everyone knows it well."
Song Song didn't worry about this, he only worried about Li Xiao's illness.
He turned around and picked up the token given by the Queen Mother, and said to Ji Ying, "Do you think it's warm in my room?"
"?"
When Song Song walked out the door wearing Ji Ying's thick hat, he raised his face slightly and looked around, confirming that Li Xiao's guard who was guarding him had seen his face clearly, so he raised his neckline to cover his face. Hold half of your face and continue to walk forward.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he was suddenly stopped by Bai Yan. He glanced at Song Song's appearance and said, "Your Highness will not let you go out."
"I feel uneasy." Song Song said softly, "I know your responsibilities, but I must go out and see."
His eyes were beautiful like beads in the sea, Bai Yan paused, and said, "I..."
"Go back and protect me, don't let others know that I came out." He pushed Bai Yan back, turned and merged into the crowd. Ji Ying's clothes smelled of medicine. Dizzy.
Li Xiao personally inspected the defense. When he met Li Qing on the road, the brothers greeted him. When they were about to leave, Li Qing suddenly remembered something: "Someone is looking for you just now, it seems that you are from Dongwei Camp."
"What did you say?"
"Never."
Li Xiao nodded and took a few steps, but Li Qing said again, "Brother the emperor."
Li Xiao stopped again.
Li Qing is tall and mighty, with a handsome and cold face. Even when he doesn't speak, he has a faint majesty. He usually does things just like his appearance, without any hesitation. He is not close to Li Xiao. The brothers usually rarely talk, but at this moment, for some reason, they suddenly said, "There are many people today, you... be careful."
Li Xiao nodded: "Thank you for reminding me."
Today's event, there are many people, everyone is worried that he will accidentally fall ill, even the fifth one.
The emperor brought the imperial army and came on the dragon chariot. He greeted the people with a smile. Long live the surrounding mountains. When the time came, he slowly ascended the tower.
In fact, his health is getting worse and worse. This year, many ministers have jointly suggested that the Lantern Festival is not as good as it is. Since the founding of the country, Qianguo has shared weal and woe with the people and shared the tradition of prosperous times. Rumors of a critical illness will make everyone panic.
The emperor ascended the tower together with several sons. The scene of the father's kindness and filial piety made the people cheer. The old emperor took a step by step, and his eyes suddenly collided with Li Xiao below.
Before Li Xiao went mad, several of their brothers would follow the father and emperor to climb the Tianzi Pagoda. The Tianzi Pagoda has nine floors. It is rumored that the highest level can pick up the sun and the moon, but since he went mad, he has never followed. Pass.
Li Xiao stood quietly and looked at him. The emperor paused for a while, and there was a touch of unbearable sadness on his face. Then he adjusted his expression again, smiled and looked into the distance, to his people, his country. .
Song Song only showed two eyes, and was swayed left and right by the crowd. His eyes followed Li Xiao's figure. From a distance, he could see that Zhao Yin was always with Li Xiao not far away, so he felt relieved a little, as long as No one deliberately provoked Li Xiao, so it must be safe today.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a very abrupt curse: "Song Song, you have to die!"
Li Xiao moved faster than him, and immediately rushed towards the voice. Song Song was almost swept up in the waves, and had no ability to resist, and was directly pushed over there.
"It seems to be Mrs. Song, what is she doing?"
"What is she holding in her hand?"
It is a painting, half-covered, full of temptation, and on it, Song Song's face is painted.
She was still scolding: "This person is unbearable and seduces everywhere. Before that, our Song Mansion never dared to speak out. We didn't let him show up because we were worried that he would ruin the Song Mansion's reputation, until he actually hacked my son two days ago. Feet! I know no one believes it, but Song Song is such a brazen person, and His Royal Highness Prince Ping was deceived by him like this... Today I want to kill my relatives righteously and expose the truth to the public!"
"Is she crazy?"
"What is she doing?"
When Zhao Yin heard the movement, he immediately rushed here, and sure enough, he saw Li Xiao's forehead burst into blue veins, and his eyes spread like spider webs.
His figure was as fast as lightning, and the people who had been protecting him secretly fell one by one, but he was sent out with a palm. Pulled over, Li Xiao suddenly roared: "Damn!"
The purple-gold crown was on the verge of falling, and his infuriating qi was shaking, and the moment he got close, he was shocked and flew out. Song Song happened to be beside him. Blood almost overflowed from his throat. He wiped the corner of his mouth and heard Zhao Yin's flustered voice: "Disperse people first!"
Countless officers and soldiers rushed over with their guns and began to line up to try to surround Li Xiao, while evacuating people outside. The Qin family beside Zhao Yin.
Qin's face was pale, she pushed Zhao Yin abruptly, and ran quickly along the guard gap that had just been shaken open. She was leading Li Xiao over there—
Li Xiao really stepped forward, and was trapped in Yuanqi because of several masters' shots. His figure suddenly rose from the ground, and then swooped down again. Mrs. Song squeezed into the crowd, and all the people were frightened by Li Xiao. Heartbroken, they rushed forward frantically, but Song Song was desperately squeezing back: "Your Highness! Your Highness!!"
Qin Shi didn't dare to look back at all. She ran forward desperately as the queen taught her at the beginning, her heartbeat was as fast as a drum, and her sister said that as long as she stayed in the crowd, she was safe, and the mad king could not be caught all at once. she-
She already felt a sense of revenge in her heart. Now Song Song's reputation has been ruined. As long as the mad king kills enough people, as His Majesty has seen with his own eyes, the mad king will definitely not survive this spring!
She almost began to imagine the scene of the Mad King being beheaded in the street.
The hat on Song Song's head was squeezed off, and Madam Song turned her head to the side, her face changed greatly—
"My lord! Li Xiao!"
Someone suddenly realized something: "It's Princess Ping!!"
"Let him go there!!"
"I heard that he can cure the mad king! Let him go!"
The people around him instantly gave way, and Li Xiao borrowed strength along the way, his eyes focused on his face, and his expression changed briefly.
He suddenly fell down, the frantic killing intent in his eyes faded a little, but he was still a little dull.
Song Song was shocked by a mouthful of blood just now. At this moment, there was blood on the corner of his mouth, and his face was pale. He looked at Li Xiao and said, "Your Highness... It's me, you see, it's me, I'm Song'er."
The surroundings instantly quieted down. They seemed to be worried that Li Xiao would not be able to hear Song Song's voice, and their movements slowed down. Zhao Yin raised his hand to restrain the person who was about to step forward, and his eyes were fixed on the two people in the center.
Song Song coughed again, he stepped up and walked towards Li Xiao, tentatively took his hand and put it on his face, and said, "Look, it's me."
