Second uncle's words are wrong, your nephew's wife only wants to help Ninth Imperial Uncle see the injury, that's only an analysis of the wound. Second uncle, you can't treat your nephew's good intentions as nothing. Seeing Song Yuanqi being said like that by Song Yuanqi, Song Yichen spoke out to protect Shen Kouqing.
"According to your niece, Ninth Imperial Uncle's injuries are obviously more severe." Hearing that Song Yichen was protecting her, Shen Kouqing did not have any other big worries, so she opened her mouth to speak.
"Nonsense! In the recent days, This King has never been injured, so how can injuries be treated? Royal granddaughter consort, please pay attention to your words. " With Song Yuanqi's protection, Song Yuanhui straightened his back and spoke with more confidence.
"Your daughter-in-law, this king is very displeased to see her. She actually dares to speak so shamelessly and rudely in front of so many people, if you were to be misrepresented by someone just now, wouldn't your Ninth Imperial Uncle be in danger? Everyone knows that royal father was poisoned, and that there was a murderer who escaped secretly. If he was forced on Ninth Prince's brother, wouldn't he be wronged? " Song Yuanqi's words resonated, as though the Shen Kouqing in his words was the kind of woman who was especially bad, a woman who did not care.
"Royal Uncle, don't say anything to hurt my wife. My health isn't good, but I can't tolerate anyone bullying my wife." Song Yichen was also acting like a man at the moment, but when it came to Shen Kouqing who was being spoken like this, he actually stood up straight.
"You! Your status is lower than this king, yet you dare to act in such an outrageous manner. You are truly unfilial! " Being reprimanded like that by Song Yichen, Song Yuanqi felt especially uncomfortable in his heart. He did not even care about his identity as the emperor's eldest grandson, and directly scolded him.
"Qi'er!" Remember your status. As the grandson of the emperor, is that something you can casually reprimand? Other than us, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess, no one else is allowed to scold the King's eldest grandson. The emperor looked at Song Yuanqi's arrogant appearance and scolded him.
He was originally a person with outstanding battle achievements, but he could not compare to a sickly person with the title of Emperor Elder Sun. He was called Song Yuanqi, how could he accept this in his heart? However, Song Yuanqi had no way to refute the Emperor's reprimand, and could only accept it obediently.
"Imperial Father, Second Imperial Brother has just returned victorious and is a great contributor to our country. Because of happiness, he drank two more cups and lost some sense of propriety when he spoke. I hope that Imperial Father does not blame us." Seeing that Song Yuanqi was scolded by the emperor, Song Yuanhui quickly spoke out to help him.
Due to Song Yuanqi's military merits, the emperor could only let him go temporarily. After all, everyone was looking at him with their eyes. As the emperor, he couldn't let a prince with military merits do anything, right? Who would dare to serve their country like this in the future?
"Forget it!" This matter shall come to an end here. Ninth Prince, your injuries should be well healed. " The Qing Yan Jiuzhou once again entered the celebration, no one mentioned anything about what happened just now, probably no one dared to casually mention it, right?
The banquet finally came to an end. Song Yichen left with Shen Kouqing, and after returning to the manor, Shen Kouqing's expression did not improve at all.
"What's wrong? Are you still angry about what happened just now? " Song Yichen sat down beside Shen Kouqing and asked.
"The murderer is Song Yuanhui!" Shen Kouqing said with anger in her voice.
This time, she dared to say it out loud. It was because Song Yichen knew about the wound too, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
"Your husband knows." Song Yichen seemed to have known about it for a very long time, because when Shen Kouqing said this, her expression did not contain even a trace of surprise.
"How did you know?" Shen Kouqing had a trace of doubt, could it be that he already knew? How is this possible?
"Your husband naturally believes what Madam says!" Song Yichen said, and smiled at Shen Kouqing.
Hearing Song Yichen's words, Shen Kouqing didn't know what kind of feeling she had in her heart. She only felt that this Song Yichen seemed to be joking around.
Rather than say I don't like it, it would be more accurate to say … Annoyed!
"Actually, your husband saw that scar the day before yesterday, but I'm not too sure. If not for Madam seeing it just now, your husband would have thought that I was seeing things." When Shen Kouqing was not speaking, Song Yichen honestly explained everything to him.
"So that's the case, but now that the evidence is gone, royal grandpa will not just rely on our words to believe us. What should we do next?" Shen Kouqing frowned, there was originally a chance to take Song Yuanhui down, and then just like that there was no more.
No matter what she said, she would feel very uncomfortable in her heart, but in truth, she felt more like she was disappointed.
"Wait and see." Song Yichen's expression was extremely natural as he said these two words.
"That's the only way." Although Shen Kouqing felt helpless, she could only nod his head and accept it.
He would watch and see, yes, Song Yuanhui's wolfish ambition, if he failed once, there would definitely be a second time. The next time Song Yuanhui takes action, he will definitely make him suffer!
The one who harmed others, would definitely kill himself, the unfilial one, the one who killed his father, everyone could kill him. What Song Yuanhui had done today, there would be a day when he would have to pay the price for it!
Within the Second Prince's estate.
"Royal brother went on a journey for several months, and he finally returned victorious. My younger brother was very happy, so he hugged two jars of aged wine. He wanted to get drunk with my Royal brother!" After the Qing Yan Jiuzhou s finished, Song Yuanhui brought two jars of wine from his own residence to the Second Prince's residence.
"It's hard for Ninth Brother to have such a heart. I am very touched. Today, we brothers will not return until we're drunk!" As Song Yuanqi watched Song Yuanhui's actions, he was truly happy in his heart. Without much thought, he welcomed Song Yuanhui into the flower pavilion and drank heartily together with him.
After three rounds of drinking, Song Yuanhui finally thought of trying to get something out of Song Yuanqi's mouth.
"Royal brother, to be honest, your servant has always been envious of you. Leading troops to fight on the battlefield and fighting bravely against enemies is simply the hero of our dynasty. If one day, I can be like you, Imperial brother, I wonder how good it would be!" Song Yuanhui showed a look of envy and said. With that, he raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Hearing Song Yuanhui's words, Song Yuanqi did not say anything, and only continued to drink his wine.
If he won this battle, then others would naturally think that he had limitless glory. Naturally, they would be extremely envious of him. However, no one had imagined that he would be able to survive until now because of the lack of blades and swords in his eyes.
Only he knew how many injuries and how much blood he had lost in the years he had been on the battlefield! Perhaps, he was the only one who could silently endure all of his heartache.
