After recuperating for a period of time, the black hawk's injuries were already completely healed under Shen Kouqing's meticulous care. Today, they came to Song Yichen's study to express their gratitude.
"Black Hawk greets His Royal Highness Emperor's eldest grandson." The black hawk's voice was very low, but it was filled with seriousness and also a bit of gratitude.
The favor of saving his life was already difficult to repay. The kindness of knowing what was happening was deeply hidden in the Black Hawk's heart.
"Get up, Black Hawk." Song Yichen's attitude toward Black Hawk did not seem like it was towards a subordinate, or to be more precise, it was as if he was facing his own close friend.
"Black Hawk, how are your injuries?" Have you fully recovered? " On the other hand, Song Yichen started to care about the Black Hawk's injuries.
"In reply to Your Highness, your subordinate's injury has completely recovered, I thank Your Highness for your concern." Now that the Black Hawks have been reborn from their tribulation, they can charge in for His Highness again! " As the black hawk spoke, it was ready to receive the mission.
"The Black Hawk is truly loyal. It wanted to charge into battle for His Highness right after it recovered from its illness." Shen Kouqing heard it from outside and walked in, and joked around as she spoke.
When the Black Hawk saw Shen Kouqing, it naturally also bowed respectfully and spoke out, "Empress, you must be joking. It is the responsibility of the Black Hawk to charge into battle as master."
Shen Kouqing laughed and walked to Song Yichen's side. She did not say anything as she quietly listened to the Black Hawk and Song Yichen's conversation.
After talking for a while, they finally got to the main point of the day.
"As for Li Zhiyao, the few of you feel that you should watch him closely. After all, he is Song Yuanhui's most confident bargaining chip, and the condition that would allow him to fail." Song Yichen said, his eyes staring off into the distance, his mind thinking about something, no one knew what it was.
"Yes!" "The black hawk will not fail his mission. This time, he will be very careful. He will not repeat the same mistake as last time." The Black Hawk's attitude was very serious and its words were firm as it cupped its fists and said to Song Yichen.
"En, you can go now!" "Be careful." Song Yichen said and let the black hawk go first.
When Shen Kouqing saw that the two of them had finished talking, she smiled and spoke: "It seems that Your Highness is not truly heartless."
"Didn't Kou Qing already know?" At this time, Song Yichen did not deny anymore, and asked back.
"So … "Very good." Shen Kouqing was actually a little happy in her heart.
After all, if Song Yichen was willing to act with him, this matter would definitely lead to twice the result and half the effort.
Not to mention having the emperor's favor, Song Yichen's ability was not the least bit inferior to Song Yuanhui. Furthermore, with Song Yichen as a shield, at that time, they could justifiably let Song Yuanhui lose.
"What is it? Kou Qing wishes to ascend to the throne alone so that you can be the queen as you wish? " Hearing Shen Kouqing's answer, he laughed and teased.
"To me, the position of Empress means nothing." Shen Kouqing's words carried a little coldness, and there wasn't any warmth in her eyes.
Song Yichen had some doubts in his heart, but he was still unable to figure it out. That... Why do you always involve the oligarchs in matters relating to the government? "
"You don't have the heart to go to court? Are you really not in the mood for court politics? I don't believe that I just gave you a way to get involved in politics. " With just one sentence, Shen Kouqing's worries were revealed.
Yes, Shen Kouqing was right, so she had no way to refute her.
The emperor's poison had not been cured, so Song Yichen had to go to the palace to treat it everyday. Since Shen Kouqing was bored in the palace, she could only look through the medical books to look for a way to cure.
"Empress, the weather is hot. Eat a piece of watermelon to relieve the heat!" Ting Zhu brought out a watermelon from the kitchen and placed it in front of Shen Kouqing.
"Leave it." Shen Kouqing's eyes were still fixated on the medical book, how could she have the time to eat the watermelon?
Hearing Shen Kouqing's words, Ting Zhu could only put down the watermelon obediently. She stood to the side and couldn't understand why Shen Kouqing would always read books like this, forgetting to eat and sleep.
"Empress, you are like this every day. Aren't you tired? As Ting Zhu looked at it, his heart ached. " Ting Zhu said to Shen Kouqing with a face full of pain.
"It's natural to be tired, but who wouldn't be tired before experiencing something light?" Shen Kouqing did not seem to care, and said.
Her tone was very flat, without a single hint of complaint or mockery. She only felt that it was something that she should do, and that no matter how bitter and tired she was, she must cultivate.
"But, we can't go on like this forever! At the very least, you have to take good care of your own body. " Although Ting Zhu had no way of stopping Shen Kouqing, he would still think of a way to persuade him.
Shen Kouqing did not say anything, only smiling slightly.
No one would understand the suffering she'd gone through in her previous life, so no matter what it was, she could endure it. She didn't care what others thought of her.
"Compared to the Emperor's body, I myself am insignificant. Ting Zhu, at the moment, as long as I can cure the Emperor's illness, we can improve in the future." Shen Kouqing revealed her purpose.
She was not afraid of Ting Zhu knowing at all, because in this world, the only person she could truly believe in was Ting Zhu. Therefore, she basically would not hide anything from Ting Zhu.
"This servant understands." Ting Zhu was a smart person, she immediately understood the meaning behind Shen Kouqing's words. She nodded, and after replying, she did not say anything else.
It was a scorching summer day, causing people to feel anxious and restless. However, the various sounds coming from the Summer Palace made people feel comfortable.
With the two feelings mixed together, a person's mood would change between good and bad, Shen Kouqing could not avoid it either. Song Yuanhui was getting restless, and if she could not handle it well, it would be difficult for his to turn him down.
In his previous life, even if Shen Kouqing had helped Song Yuanhui a lot, Song Yuanhui did not trust anyone and would never tell Shen Kouqing about many things. Thus, other than Song Yuanhui's temper, he did not know about other things.
"Forget it, I've read all morning and I'm tired. Ting Zhu, accompany me to the courtyard to take a stroll!" Shen Kouqing's mind was in a mess, she felt like it was going to split open, and her mood suddenly wasn't at ease.
It was probably because he had been reading for too long and was mentally exhausted.
"Yes!" When Shen Kouqing said that she wanted to rest, Ting Zhu was happier than anyone else. She quickly put away the medical book and excitedly accompanied Shen Kouqing to the courtyard to take a walk.
Even though the summer was scorching, the summer breeze was very cool and refreshing. It was able to blow away all kinds of unhappiness in a person's heart.
