Chapter 271 I'm Not a Person Who Will Do Anything at All
"This matter is very dangerous."
"I know, but this is the only way I have left."
Song Xiujing sighed softly, "Aren't you the same?"
"This is different." Xu Yuan shook his head: "If you want to leave, I will do my best to send you away. Although I can't make you rich for the rest of your life, you won't be like you are now, helpless."
"I should naturally walk my own path. Bei Yuan has already sent people to the Geshu tribe. I know you have a way to contact Geshu Khan. I hope you can deliver a letter for me."
After Song Xiujing finished speaking, she saw that Xu Yuan was a little confused, so she said frankly: "Outsiders are naturally not allowed to read the contents of the letter, but you can."
"I have already written a letter to the Khan. After reading the letter, he will know what to do. Now your identity will be exposed soon. The Song family..."
"I have a way to deal with it."
After Song Xiujing finished speaking, she pushed the letter to Xu Yuan and said, "I don't know how you discussed it with Geshu Khan, but with this letter from me, he will definitely trust you more."
"Ok."
Xu Yuan accepted the letter, and Song Xiujing said no more and stood up to leave.
Xu Yuan looked at Song Xiujing's back, and thinking of what Bei Yao had said, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Song, I have something else to ask you."
"What's the matter?"
"Why did the prince notice me?"
Xuyuan has been thinking about this question recently.
But I never got an answer until I heard Bei Yao's words.
"The Northern Yuan Dynasty intends to seize military power, and your cousin Zhang Yue has made great military achievements. He is naturally the best choice to replace Song Tiancheng. It just so happens that you have a grudge against the Song family, so the prince will naturally pay attention to you."
Song Xiujing turned around.
Xu Yuan sat on the chair and her eyes drooped.
Her voice was cool and clean as her hair fluttered.
"Make a wish. I'm not a person who will do anything to achieve his goal."
Wishing nodded.
Song Xiujing picked up her clothes and went out. When the maid closed the door, she looked back again.
Xuyuan didn't look at her, but at the letter in his hand.
I didn't doubt what she said.
Song Xiujing loosened her tightly clenched hands, a smile appeared on her lips again, and after getting on the carriage, she headed straight for the Taiwei Mansion.
-
After giving the letter to Ge Shuxing, Xu Yuan started studying hard again.
Wu Shiming's business grew bigger and bigger, and he was extremely busy.
When the new Imperial Censor took office, Sun Wenjie was promoted to the position of Chief Justice of the Dali Temple for his contribution in cracking the smuggled salt case, and he became a popular figure in front of the emperor for a while.
Compared to these court affairs, the most talked-about thing was the finding of Princess Geshu. The emperor attached great importance to her and summoned her immediately. He then conferred her the title of Princess Changqing and granted her a Princess's Mansion, which was close to the Prince's Palace.
Xu Yuan turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, but he always showed some concern for Song Xiujing. Wu Shiming knew this and explained the matter clearly to her as soon as possible.
"Song Xiujing found Taihang Ling on the second day after the portraits were posted all over the city. She looked very similar to the woman in the portrait, so there was no need for the Geshu tribe to come and identify her. As for the experience, it was Song Tiancheng who came out to explain it."
"The general idea is that in his early years, he followed the late emperor to war and found a baby girl on the battlefield. Since he couldn't find the baby girl's parents, he took her home and recognized her as his own daughter. However, the baby girl missed her family so much that her health deteriorated. As a last resort, he had to send her to Sishui County."
At this point, Wu Shiming couldn't continue. He waved his hands and said, "I don't know what those people in Taihang Order were thinking. They actually believed such a ridiculous statement. Song Tiancheng is really good. He even called his own biological daughter an abandoned baby. He is so cold and heartless."
Wu Shiming also knew a little about Song Xiujing.
She was abandoned when she was young and placed on a farm. When she was useful, she was brought back to the capital. However, because of a broken engagement, she was sent back to Hanzhou again. Song Tiancheng even planned to kill her to silence her.
It's really pitiful to have such a father.
"Although this statement is full of doubts, at least it can be accepted on the surface and it won't implicate the Taiwei Mansion. Taihang Ling and his entourage are naturally aware of this, so they are turning a blind eye. As long as we can give Geshu an explanation, that's enough." Xu Yuan is well versed in the ways of being an official.
Song Xiujing's case is troublesome, but also simple.
Although this excuse is poor, it can avoid other problems. Similarly, if an envoy from the Geshu tribe comes in the future, they will thank Song Tiancheng. After all, if there was no Song Tiancheng, there would be no Princess Geshu today.
"That's right. It's better than being accused of treason and collaborating with the enemy."
Wu Shiming took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before saying, "Song Xiujing has been named Princess Changqing, and a banquet will be held in the Princess's Mansion soon. Since there is no requirement that only ministers and their families can attend, many big shops in the capital are preparing to go to the Princess's Mansion to give gifts. Do you think Wu Ji should go?"
Wu Shiming was a little unsure about what role Song Xiujing was playing.
Song Xiujing is engaged to the prince and is considered his person.
However, since he had a grudge against the prince, he naturally shouldn't join in the fun.
But Song Xiujing and Xu Yuan are good friends, and Ge Shuxing has always asked him to go to the Princess's Mansion to give gifts. Wu Shiming felt he was in a dilemma and decided to ask Xu Yuan for his opinion.
After hearing what Wu Shiming said, Xu Yuan put down the book and thought for a long time before speaking: "You and the prince don't get along, so you naturally can't go to deliver the gift. And Ge Shuxing probably doesn't want to miss the opportunity to contact Song Xiujing. In this case, you can let Ge Shuxing deliver the gift, and he can choose what to give. I think Song Xiujing will also be satisfied with this gift."
"What about you? The Princess's Mansion should send you an invitation."
"Even if I were invited, I wouldn't go."
Xu Yuan raised the book and said, "The assessment of Wenhua Palace will begin soon. This assessment is related to whether I can participate in the national examination and also to what I will do. I must study hard."
"You are right. In that case, I won't bother you these few days. I will just rest in the shop at night."
"That's not necessary."
"It's nothing. I know the national exam is very important to you and there is no room for mistakes. Just study hard and leave the rest to me. I won't let anyone else disturb you." Wu Shiming patted his chest and promised.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. This is what I should do. By the way, I've already prepared what you asked me to do. I've already taken care of everything that needs to be done. I will never let you suffer any injustice. Just do what you want to do."
Hearing Wu Shiming's words, Xu Yuan's heart was touched, "Thank you, without you, these things would not have been done so smoothly."
"If anyone wants to say thank you, I should be the one thanking you. You not only saved Xin San, but also saved me. For me, no amount of money can bring back my brother's life, so you shouldn't think too much about it."
