Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 496 I will return to Nantang and wait for you! (2)
In the blink of an eye, it entered February, and the distinguished guests who were supposed to stay in the capital to wait for the wedding banquet had no reason to stay any longer. Once the marriage was banned, Jimo Xun and his party went to bid farewell to the emperor.

But Song Chengze, who was in charge of military affairs, left the capital two days earlier than them all after being scolded by the emperor, and returned to the Fortress army.

On the morning of his departure, Song Chuxi got up early to see him off, and blocked him in the yard.

Song Chengze put on a cloak and pushed the door out. Seeing her standing in the yard, he was taken aback for a moment, and then waved his hand to send the guards away first.

"What? You want to send me out of the city?" Song Chengze stepped down the steps and stood still in front of her.

Song Chuxi looked at him indifferently, and smiled slightly, "I just can't figure it out, you seem to have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, so it's not just to get scolded by His Majesty the Emperor, right? That's all Gone? Why do I feel that this is not like your style, big brother?"

"It's not that you really don't understand, why pretend to be confused in front of me?" Song Chengze said, with a slight curve on his lips.He raised his hand in a good mood to remove a petal from Song Chuxi's shoulder, and then said jokingly, "Don't you know the reason why I made this trip? I'll take this scolding, It's just to prove to His Majesty that I am more obedient than you."

"Ha!" Hearing this, Song Chuxi couldn't help but pursed her lips and let out a laugh.

She lowered her head and looked up again, then looked into his eyes and said, "Brother, you think highly of me, I'm really flattered. But, the person you really need to fear and guard against now seems to be the second uncle, right? It's not your turn." to mine."

Song Yaqing died, and the Song family was about to elect a new head.Although according to the past practice, this candidate is recommended by their family, and then counted by the court's nod, but under normal circumstances, the court will not reject any list they recommend, which is a formal question.But this year is very different. Song Yaqing was convicted and executed, which made the emperor furious. Originally, from the perspective of seniority, it was logical for the eldest son Song Chengze to inherit the position of Patriarch, but Song Yaqing made such a fuss— —

In their Nantang family, there is Song Yaru who has a longer status, is steady and down-to-earth.The imperial court was dissatisfied with the third house of the Song family, and instead provided the little-known Song Yaru with a chance like a pie in the sky, which unexpectedly became a stumbling block for Song Chengze to become the head of the family.

Song Chengze sneered, "When I'm in the army, you don't know anything about the situation at home? I know more about Song Yaru than you. I'm not afraid of him blocking my way, but I'm afraid that he will change suddenly He became a puppet in your hands. Chuxi, I know your methods and abilities, why did you keep him in the first place? Even if the people who attacked you many times were from our third room, with your heart, why should you Be lenient to the people in the second room? You are a woman, and you knew from the very beginning that the possibility of you wanting to be in the top position is very small, but the second uncle is different. My father just passed him back then and sat on As the head of the family, now you are thinking hard and let him be punished for his crimes. Those old men in the clan are not timid and afraid of getting into trouble? I am afraid that they have already discussed to recommend Song Yaru to the position? He is If you hold the seat in your hands, if the seat is given to him, it is not the same as being held in your hands."

This person's thoughtfulness is indeed pervasive.

Song Chuxi's lips curled deeper, but he didn't feel annoyed, he just said: "Song Yaru hurt his leg, and the court ordered that people with disabilities are not allowed to be officials. Aristocratic families are all special cases, but during your time in Beijing, you must have found a way to disclose this to His Majesty the Emperor, right? No matter how high your status is compared to your second uncle, how could he be in the capital? Will there be a connection like you, big brother, to speak for him?"

As Song Chuxi said, she shrugged her shoulders suddenly, and moved aside, "Indeed, you did not hesitate to go this far, and you did buy a good boy from His Majesty the Emperor, and let him know that you still treat him well." You are willing to surrender and obey your orders. Not only that, but you also blocked the possibility of your second uncle taking the position, and abolished the most powerful pawn in my hand. On the surface, it seems that you just walked this trip without pain , In fact, big brother, you still benefit a lot."

As long as Song Yaru can't take over the position, then Song Chuxi still has a lot to do if he wants to control the Song family.Because even if Song Chengze couldn't get support for the time being, with Song Li's cautious style, their clan would only try their best to nominate a prudent and respected person to take on the job.And with Song Chuxi's shallow foundation in the Song clan, she would definitely not be able to control that person easily.

"Let you massacre my entire third room. You have already taken advantage of it. You can't keep me from getting it back in one game, can you?" Song Chengze said, looking up at the sky, "Okay, I'm in a hurry, so I'm going Let’s stop talking nonsense, there will be a long time to come, there is no guarantee that we will have a chance to meet again.”

After saying that, he walked away from Song Chuxi's side and strode out of the yard.

Song Chuxi didn't stop him, but stood silently and peacefully in the yard.Song Chengze walked outside the courtyard, stopped and looked back, and then walked quickly towards the gate without looking back.

His entourage called the soldiers waiting outside the courtyard to follow, and soon, all the people in the several courtyards were completely evacuated.

In the huge post house, it seemed that Song Chuxi was the only one left all of a sudden.

Standing under the plum tree in the courtyard, Song Chuxi's expression turned cold unconsciously, as if he was not at all affected by the sudden depression and change of atmosphere here.

Song Chengze would think that she prepared Song Yaru as a pawn, which is not surprising. In fact, if the opportunity was right, she would not mind taking this move directly, but since entering the chaotic situation in the capital, she has already given up. This is the plan.So Song Chengze sealed off her path, but she didn't think it was a heavy loss.

Is it just—

This person guards against her so strictly, she will definitely plan more carefully and carefully in the future.

Song Chengze and his party left the post house, his entourage handed over the whip, but they were still uneasy, "Master, the emperor clearly dragged it on purpose and refused to promise you the position of Patriarch. You will definitely have to do it once you leave." If you go directly back to the army, the family can't take care of it, and I'm afraid the Fourth Miss will seize the opportunity."
