SFS Chapter 289 Lost me
Chapter 289 Lost me
Song Yunxi wanted to chase Yu Ziche, but was surrounded by several assassins and couldn't escape.
It took a lot of time to deal with all the assassins.
Concubine Shen, her mother and her son, Song Muxue, Shen Zhikang, people from the Shen and Song families, and Ye Ruyan were all there, and Song Yunxi was sure that none of them had left the banquet halfway.
Is she really overthinking?
No, the other party knew their abilities well enough, so they used this human wave tactic to hold them back. They must have some ulterior motive.
Song Yunxi was even more certain that the other party was coming for Yu Ziche, otherwise it would be impossible for him to escape and chase Ye Youran.
"It seems that what happened tonight was aimed at cousin Zi Che."
Ye Xuanqi's thoughts coincided with Song Yunxi's. Jiang Yanting was very worried: "I'll go after Second Senior Brother right now!"
But he was stopped by Song Yunxi.
Jiang Yanting looked over in confusion and found that her eyes were cold and fierce, and she also released an uncontrollable hostility from her body: "Do they really think they can plot against my second brother?"
Although she didn't know what the other party's plan was, she was indeed very worried, but she had absolute confidence in Yu Ziche and believed that he would return safely no matter what difficulties he encountered.
Jiang Yanting was stunned for a moment, but also agreed firmly: "Xiao Si is right, Second Senior Brother will definitely not be calculated by anyone!"
"With my father's secret guards and my aunt's secret guards investigating at the same time, I believe we will have news soon."
Following his gaze, I saw that the gloomy and majestic Emperor Qinglong was indeed giving orders to the commander of the secret guards, and there was also a guard with a murderous aura in front of the princess.
Song Yunxi felt relieved: "I hope Xueying and Ansan didn't lose my second brother."
But the result was not what she expected. Nearly half an hour later, An San came back and knelt in front of Ye Xuanqi: "I lost Prince Yu due to my incompetence. Please punish me, my lord and my lady."
Ye Xuanqi said calmly: "Get up, it's not your responsibility."
Song Yunxi also said: "There are not many people who can keep up with the second brother. You are already amazing for following him for so long."
It seems that Blood Shadow has also been lost.
As he expected, Xueying came back not long after, but he brought Ye Youran with him.
Xueying reported to Song Yunxi respectfully: "The Second Young Master rescued the Ninth Princess from the assassin and ordered his subordinates to bring her back first."
Although Yu Ziche is the legitimate prince of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, to the people of Shengyun Mountain, he is just the second son of Shengyun Mountain and the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Then Xueying lowered his voice and said, "The Ninth Princess was drugged. The Second Young Master asked me to take her back to the palace and not to make it public, so I sent her directly to the Queen's Palace."
"You did very well."
I think the second brother took the woman's reputation into consideration. If word got out that the Ninth Princess was taken back to the palace by a secret guard, and coupled with Concubine Shen's exaggeration, Ye Youran's reputation would be in jeopardy.
Ye Xuanqi called Zhou Feng and asked him to quietly tell Eunuch Sun the news that Ye Youran had been rescued, so as to prevent the emperor and empress from worrying.
Song Yunxi called Zhou Feng and said, "Tell Eunuch Sun to tell Master Uncle that there is no need to trap these people."
These assassins were all determined fighters, and even those they captured alive committed suicide by taking poison. Emperor Qinglong then ordered the palace to be sealed off and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Only the Empress Dowager was sent back by Emperor Qinglong because she was frightened.
"My subordinate understands!"
Ye Xuanqi instructed again: "Don't forget to tell your aunt and Duke Ying that they don't have to worry. Cousin Ziche will definitely come back safely."
After receiving the news, Emperor Qinglong ordered the blockade to be lifted and everyone to leave the palace. The concubines also returned to their own palaces. Only Song Yunxi, Ye Xuanqi and a few others were called to Chongzheng Palace by Emperor Qinglong.
What surprised Song Yunxi was that Ye Xuanling was also left behind.
Noticing Song Yunxi's surprised look, Emperor Qinglong and Ye Xuanling, father and son, were both quite embarrassed.
Emperor Qinglong coughed twice: "The third brother knelt down and begged me to trust him once and give him a chance. I think he is sincerely repentant..."
After all, he was his own son, and unlike the foolish second son who was deceived by his own conscience, he had not made any serious mistakes, so Emperor Qinglong agreed out of pity.
What’s more important is that the third brother took out all his belongings to fill the national treasury.
As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have done good deeds for him, and he, as the emperor, is no exception, so he has to give this opportunity even if he doesn't want to!
Song Yunxi rolled her eyes at Emperor Qinglong——
[Look at your lack of ability. You were bought off by a few material things. You have no moral integrity! ]
【Alas, money makes the world go round. 】
She knew that Ye Xuanling used his family property to fill the national treasury, but she admired his courage.
Emperor Qinglong: You have integrity, you have integrity. Every time I give you something worthwhile, you grin and call me "Uncle Master" non-stop.
Ye Xuanling was embarrassed when he thought about the stupid things he had done. He cleared his throat and said to Song Yunxi, "I did something wrong in the past and caused losses to the eldest lady and the second young master, so I decided to compensate them..."
When she heard the word "compensation", Song Yunxi's beautiful eyes lit up instantly, and she looked more like a cute and cunning little fox.
The fourth brother's vision is indeed excellent.
Jiang Yanting didn't care at all and snorted disdainfully: "Who wants yours..."
"Third Brother!"
Song Yunxi interrupted Jiang Yanting and asked Ye Xuanling with blinking eyes: "How does the prince plan to compensate?"
Ye Xuanling smiled and said, "I have decided to give Wanfulou to Miss. What do you think?"
"Why is this so embarrassing?"
Song Yunxi only said something polite, then immediately asked, "When will the contract be signed?"
Jiang Yanting couldn't bear to look at that money-grubbing look.
Emperor Qinglong: Humph, I don’t know who just scolded me for being useless and ungrateful!
Ye Xuanqi smiled dotingly: "Are you so impatient?"
"Of course!"
[You think it's easy for me to use the money to pay the army and help the people on the border to live! Besides, there are many places where the women's home needs money. I'm almost empty-handed. How can I not find a way to make more money? ]
[Although Wanfulou's business is mediocre, its location is good. If it were to be a bathing center that combines food, drink, entertainment and fun, it should still be able to make a lot of money. ]
[Alas, the money that my second brother earns must be used to take care of Shengyun Mountain first, and also to support spies in the enemy country for their Ye family...]
【What kind of fate do we have as a brother and sister? 】
Emperor Qinglong: ...I will definitely compensate you well in the future.
Ye Xuanling felt even more guilty. He used to trust Song Muxue wholeheartedly and gave all the money he earned to Ye Xuanrong and Shen Zhikang without restraint. However, he turned a blind eye to the difficulties of the soldiers on the border and the empty treasury. He deserved to die!
At this time, someone from the Queen's Palace came to ask Song Yunxi: "Miss, the Ninth Princess is not in good condition. The Queen wants you to come over."
Even the detoxification pill she prepared was useless. Song Yunxi suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
