Chapter 86
It was just dawn, and after driving all day, it was hard to relax the nerves. Everyone was a little drowsy, but before walking in a hurry, they left the charcoal basin in the inn. The cabin was really not warm.

There were a few more people in the car, and he couldn't lie down like when he came here, and Gu Qingyou was also afraid that he would catch a cold if he fell asleep, so he stuffed the heater into his sleeves and freed his hands to support his eyelids.

There were other people in the carriage, Xue Lan saw that she had no image, and scolded with a smile: "How old is the girl, can you be more ladylike?"

Gu Qingyou opened her mouth to answer, but yawned first: "Anyway, they've already been married, so it doesn't matter if they look good or not."

She couldn't bear it anymore, she opened the window to blow the cold wind, trying to wake herself up, seeing that the car had already entered the city, and she should be able to arrive at the Duke's Mansion soon.

Having been terrified for days, she would do nothing when she went back, and she would just sleep for three days and three nights.

Finally seeing the familiar corner, she stretched her arms and was about to put on her cloak and get out of the car, but found two rows of gray figures standing upright at the door of the Duke's Mansion in the distance.

The long white flags at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion fluttered with the wind, and the big "sacrifice" characters on the white paper lanterns were also impressively visible, reflecting the winter water vapor, making people see through the haze.

And the two rows of figures were motionless, like dark soldiers lined up, even more gloomy.

Rubbing her eyes and looking again, she found that the figure had not disappeared. She felt a chill on her neck, and she slammed the window shut: "Mom, I saw Ah Piao!"

Counting the days, Song Lian's first seven days have passed!What are these Ah Piao doing at the gate of the Duke's Mansion? !
Ever since she crossed over with her mother, she no longer dared to claim to be a firm materialist warrior. She heard that men have more yang energy, so she silently leaned towards Song Hengye, not noticing that she even called the wrong name in a hurry.

Xue Lan slapped her: "Why are you so surprised? How can there be such a thing as Piao?"

Gu Qingyou didn't dare to open the window again, and pointed at the car with a bitter face: "It's right in front of our house, there are two rows standing in unison, it's scary!"

"You're talking nonsense in the morning, I think you are... oh my god! What the hell is that?!"

Xue Lan still didn't believe in evil, so he opened the car window himself, and happened to see a person standing between the two rows of figures. He couldn't see the facial features from a distance, only his face was pale, and he was staring straight at the direction of the car.

Seeing that she was still in shock, Song Hengye poked his head out curiously, but when he saw the scene over there, his expression changed drastically.

Gu Qingyou secretly thought, it's over, it's over, even Song Hengye is scared when he sees it, most likely it's a dark soldier!

While the mother and wife were still discussing whether there was any shadow in those two rows, Song Hengye had already murmured: "Deng Tong? What is he doing here?"

Knowing the name, Bu Dian couldn't help but move closer to him, his tone couldn't hide his excitement: "Could it be that you are here to deliver an order to let us go back to the Northwest camp?"

"hope so."

Gently closing the car window, seeing both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law staring at him closely, she explained: "Ma'am, don't panic, that is Deng Tong, the eunuch next to the emperor, who should be running errands for the emperor."

The two of them froze immediately, Xue Lan straightened her hair awkwardly, and shook off Gu Qingyou who was on her body: "I just said that it looks familiar, so it's Director Deng."

As a first-rank official, Xue has entered the palace many times, so she naturally knows the celebrities around the emperor, but she has always looked down on these eunuchs who serve others, so every time they meet, unless the other party initiates a conversation, Otherwise she wouldn't even look at it.

Gu Qingyou heard Liu Chunxiang mention this person, and couldn't help but said: "He is not serving the emperor in the palace, what is he doing here?"

Song Hengye made a booing gesture, and said in a soft voice: "Eunuch Deng has very good ears, young lady be careful with your words."

Generally speaking, being a eunuch in the palace is not allowed to have boxing skills, but Deng Tong is an exception.

This person has a surly personality and is fickle. Even when Song Lian is around, you have to be careful when talking to him.

If there is no important matter, he will usually not leave the emperor's side, so after recognizing him, Song Hengye frowned.

When the carriage reached the door, Xue Lan was helped out of the carriage by Gu Qingyou and Shuang Jiang, and Song Chengye had already heard the sound.

The people on the high rank had already come down first, their straight backs were arched, and they respectfully said: "I have seen my wife, my son."

Xue Lan was under orders, so he just nodded slightly: "I don't know why Director Deng made a sudden visit? I was trapped in the suburbs of the city for many days, and I was able to return home today. I'm afraid I made my father-in-law wait for a long time."

Even so, the attitude was quite different from before, causing Deng Tong to look at her a few more times before answering: "Mrs. Hui, the miscellaneous family is here this time to convey the order of the emperor to General Song."

This Duke's wife used to be very arrogant, especially when facing eunuchs like them, she wished her nostrils could be turned upside down, but today she spoke so politely, no wonder he was surprised.

But after thinking about it, now that there is no Ning Guogong to rely on, and the eldest son Song Chengye is not successful, Xue's restraint is an act of understanding the current affairs.

The two exchanged some pleasantries, Xue Lan said: "It's freezing outside, please go to the mansion for a cup of hot tea, please."

Deng Tong thanked him politely: "The miscellaneous family has to rush back to report after passing on the decree, and come back to bother another day."

Then she pointed to Song Hengye beside her: "Song Hengye stepped forward to receive the order~"

Song Hengye strode forward, lifted his clothes and knelt down: "The minister is here!"

"By God's blessing, the emperor said, Song Lian, Duke of Ning, returned home with his consummation of merit and virtue. Aiqing Hengye is the adopted son of the Song family. He was regarded as the same as his relatives by Duke Song since childhood. Ye took over the affairs of the Duke's government to Chengjue, Qin~here~~"

Gu Qingyou was secretly looking at Deng Tong's appearance, only to see that his face was covered with a thick layer of powder like a Japanese dancer, no wonder it looked scary from a distance, and I wondered if the emperor would have nightmares facing him every day.

When she heard the content of the decree, she was taken aback. She originally thought that the custom of keeping filial piety here was quite different from what she knew. It turned out that there was also a tradition Ding Youyi said.

She happened to be kneeling behind Song Hengye's side. Turning her eyes slightly, she could see his jaw tense instantly.

And the bright yellow imperial decree in front of him seemed so heavy that he couldn't take it for a long time.

Deng Tong didn't urge him, but looked at him quietly, maintaining the posture of handing out the imperial decree in his hand, as if he was sure that he dared not refuse to accept it.

The surrounding flames swayed in Song Hengye's eyes. After a long time, he finally slammed his head on the ground and said word by word: "Mr. Song Hengye, thank you Lord Long En!"

"That's right~ Your Majesty is sympathetic to the general and Song Gong's deep feelings. I am afraid that you will not take the initiative to ask for an order to stay in Beijing, so I asked the miscellaneous family to come over overnight to appease you. The general should be grateful for the grace~"

Song Hengye got up silently and did not answer.

But Deng Tong seemed a little meaningful, patted him on the shoulder twice, and drove away in the sedan chair.
