Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 633 The Female Patriarch! (3)
Qiushui Pavilion.

Yin Shu came out of Song Chuqi's yard and turned left following Song Chuxi's guidance.

Walking this way, all the servants of the Song family disappeared. He walked all the way to the end, and he saw the courtyard there.

The courtyard was very big, much bigger than the one where Song Chuqi lived, but in the night, it was empty and looked very desolate.

The dim light of the lantern on the porch reflected a spot of dried blood on the steps below.

Yin Shu frowned involuntarily, and stopped slightly in his footsteps.

"My subordinates have already asked about it. They said that there was water in the yard on the other side when it was approaching midnight. While there was chaos there, Fourth Miss Song found someone dead at the door, and then Miss Fourth disappeared." He Xu He hurriedly told him the news he had inquired about in a hurry, paused, and then added after deliberation: "Also——when Miss Si went out of the city, she seemed to be with a doctor of high status in Duanmu's family. It's just that The time is short, what happened outside the city at that time, and the subordinates have not found out the exact news yet."

Yue Qingyang's status in Duanmu's family is very special. Even if Yin Shu didn't pay much attention to his affairs, he was no stranger to his existence. He Xu could guess who it was just by mentioning it. .

That person is with Song Chuxi?Could it be related to Duanmuqi?

It is very difficult for outsiders to get a complete glimpse into the affairs between the Song family and the Duanmu family, so Yin Shu didn't think too much about it, and went straight into the courtyard.

The environment of the yard is good, but it's winter, and there's not much scenery to see.

The two masters and servants crossed the stone bridge all the way, opened the door and entered the inner room.

When He Xu went to light the lamp, Yin Shu casually stood in front of a potted plant near the door, fiddling with the leaves of the plant to pass the time.

When He Xu walked around and came back, he stood behind him with a somewhat apprehensive expression.

Yin Shu's expression on his face was still somewhat careless and childish, he curled his lips, and only cared about the leaves of the potted plant.

He Xu hesitated again and again, but still couldn't help but cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, when are you going to return?"

Originally, Yin Shu's secret visit to Nantang was inappropriate, but this appearance was so earth-shattering. Those in the yamen are not dead, and I'm afraid they won't be able to wait until dawn when the officials of the yamen come. visited.

This matter must not be hidden, and it was passed back to the capital——

Even if they rush back now, they will inevitably be punished by the emperor.

The corners of Yin Shu's lips curled up, still with a nonchalant expression, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I've already come anyway, so is there any use in being anxious now?"

Indeed, anyway, the fault has already been placed here, and there is no difference between going back a day or two early and going back a day or two late.

He Xu's complexion was tangled, and it was impossible for him to be moved by one or two words. After much deliberation, he couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, you know His Majesty's attitude towards Nantang, let alone it is a matter of two things. The Song family, one of the great families, why did you make this impulsive trip? In fact, there is still the empress dowager in the palace, and even if Fourth Miss Song has to suffer a little bit now, no one would dare to do him any harm. You want to protect her, and in the future, when the matter of Nantang comes to light, you can finally go to the emperor to ask for a favor, and then you can take her there, why take the risk now and offend the emperor?"

Although the Song family and the Duanmu family have some family backgrounds, in everyone's eyes, they want to fight the imperial court now, they are fighting with the egg, and they will only lose in the end.

After the Song family was destroyed in the future, Song Chuxi would become a helpless orphan, and the emperor would naturally not take her seriously. As long as Yin Shu came forward to ask for someone at that time, most likely the emperor would give her to him.

He Xu's words are actually reasonable.

Yin Shu glanced back at him, suddenly smiled, and said teasingly, "Actually, you have wanted to say this since I asked you to prepare to leave Beijing, right?"

At that time, indeed He Xu already wanted to persuade him.

He Xu's face became more and more embarrassing, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes!"

Yin Shu smiled, and didn't ask any more questions. In the end, He Xu said embarrassingly, "The subordinate didn't say anything at that time because he knew he couldn't persuade you!"

Yin Shu, this brat, is actually very assertive, especially since He Xu and He Peng have been with him for the past few years, they know that he actually has a bit of an uncompromising temper.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Yin Shu smiled brighter and brighter.

He turned his gaze back again, and lowered his head to fiddle with the leaves of the potted plant, as if he was very interested in the potted plant.

He Xu waited for a while, but before he could say anything, he said again with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, you understand better than your subordinates that this time you shouldn't take such a step on your own will. After this incident, You are bound to arouse His Majesty's attention and dissatisfaction, if it affects—"

"He Xu!" Yin Shu raised his hand suddenly, stopping him from continuing.

Unknowingly, the unserious expression on this brat's face disappeared, and his immature face, even when he was expressionless, even brought out a bit of fortitude in the contours of his lines.

He didn't look back, just stared silently at the fresh and tender leaves of the potted plant in front of him. After a long time, he said calmly, "These are two different things!"

"What did Your Highness say?" He Xu was puzzled for a moment.

"I've never forgotten what I'm going to do, and it's even more impossible to shrink back or change it, but—" Yin Shu said, his tone was surprisingly calm, and there was an inexplicable determination in this calmness, "I I don’t want to give up on myself completely just for that matter. Over the years, I have been forbearance to plan, that’s because doing that thing is my responsibility as a son of man. But today I came to Nantang because I Do you understand the direction of my heart? I know that Ah Chu is in danger, but if I just take a look at her, I don’t feel relieved. If I just sit on the sidelines now, even if I can be sure that she will be fine in the end, then I will be the first I don’t feel like I’m a reliable person.”

He is a child who grew up in the royal family, and he has never been innocent and carefree, but on this matter, he acted willfully, regardless of the consequences, and temporarily drew his position from the overall situation come out.

He Xu couldn't understand what he said. In his opinion, even if Song Chuxi was trapped in Nantang, it would not be hurt, but Yin Shu's doing so now is obviously not beneficial to the overall situation.

He frowned and said nothing.

Yin Shu gave him a squinting look, and the corners of his lips curled up into a peaceful smile again: "If I have to give up my original intention before accomplishing that thing, if there is even one thing that I would do from my heart Everything Fa wants to do must be restricted, so he is not free, so involuntary, why should I fight for it?"
