Chapter 140: Don’t Say Anything
Song Feiren was so frightened by Gu Junshen's cold voice that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your Majesty! I came here just to see the Imperial Concubine."
Song Feiren's tone was a little timid, but when he thought about the Song family that was about to become the laughing stock of other families, he gritted his teeth and spoke out his thoughts.
Although I don’t know whether the emperor will agree, if I don’t say it, there will be no chance.
It is impossible for him to meet him privately; this is against the rules.
If the imperial concubine wants to meet the emperor, she will inform him, and the emperor will also need his approval.
Besides, Song Nanxiang is living a prosperous life now, so how could she think about the Song family which is now in danger?
"Oh? Since County Magistrate Song wants to see the Imperial Concubine, he can just send someone to deliver the message to the Imperial Concubine directly. Why does he need to come to my Yangxin Palace?"
Gu Junshen's sarcastic sneer made Song Feiren's teeth tremble.
"I also want to see the emperor!"
Song Feiren immediately changed his tone and spoke.
"Come to see me? If you have nothing to do, why do you come to see me?"
"Just to see the emperor's face. To pray for peace and prosperity."
In order to prevent Gu Junshen from blaming him, Song Feiren flattered him in a completely irrelevant way.
Gu Junshen couldn't help but sneer, and Minister Li was also a little embarrassed.
He didn't expect that his former classmate was so terrible.
If it weren't for the fact that they were former classmates, he would not have agreed to his request this time. If the emperor blamed him, he would definitely let him know how powerful the military minister was.
"What a joke! Am I something to be admired? How can I allow you to watch me at will?"
Gu Junshen then shouted, causing everyone in the hall to startle.
"Your Majesty, spare my life! That is not what I meant."
Song Feiren knelt down in fear and begged for mercy.
Where had he ever seen the emperor's wrath?
He was so scared that he didn't even dare to raise his head.
But he couldn't ask the emperor to forgive Song Wanru's punishment in person, as she had violated a serious taboo. If he spoke frankly, he was afraid that the emperor would be furious and send him and the Song family to hell.
"Since you want to see the imperial concubine, then go ahead. Liu Sheng, go and inform her."
Gu Junshen had no intention of talking to Song Feiren any more.
Who doesn't know the real purpose of his coming this time?
It was at this critical moment that Song Wanru was demoted for committing adultery...
"Slave takes orders!"
Liu Sheng bowed and said this, then immediately lowered his head and left the Yangxin Palace and walked towards Wangyueju.
……
Wangyueju.
At this time, Nanxiang was taking a nap in the hall. The weather was getting hotter, and the sun was scorching outside.
She always feels sleepy from time to time.
She knew that this was due to physical fatigue. After all, she had two more children in her belly, and every step she took felt extremely heavy.
At the same time, this was also her body sending her a signal that it was time to have a good rest.
After a while, Kikuhei came up to Nanxiang in small steps.
Looking at Nanxiang who was taking a nap with her eyes closed, she stood upright by the side waiting.
Now nothing can compare to her mother.
Therefore, she ranked Nanxiang's rest first, and the news reported by Liu Sheng was only ranked second.
After a long time, Nanxiang finally opened her eyes sleepily.
Glancing at Kikuhei who was standing nearby and seemed hesitant to speak, Nanxiang knew that another verbal battle had begun.
"Song Feiren has arrived at the palace?"
"Yes, your Majesty. Eunuch Liu Sheng said that County Magistrate Song is already in the Yangxin Palace. He claimed that he came for your Majesty."
Kikuhei squatted and spoke, glancing at Nanxiang who listened, then looked away, feeling as if he was discovered peeping.
"Come for me? Where does he have the nerve to do that?"
Nan Xiang sneered upon hearing this, and her sleepiness was instantly swept away, replaced by confusion and slight anger.
At this time, Song Feiren was walking towards Wangyueju under the guidance of the eunuch.
Looking at the majestic and luxurious buildings around him, Song Feiren narrowed his eyes for a moment, feeling as awkward as a country bumpkin entering the palace.
The eunuch who was leading the way couldn't help but laugh a few times.
"You really haven't seen the world! No wonder you are a low-ranking county magistrate."
Afterwards, Song Feiren was led by the eunuch to a newly renovated and even more luxuriously decorated palace.
The plaque above the main hall gate reads "Wangyueju" in three large characters.
"Mr. Song! We have arrived at the Royal Concubine's Wangyue Residence. Please make yourself at home."
The eunuch said this, chuckled a few times, and turned away.
Although this was the Imperial Concubine's father, judging from the fact that he did not enter the palace in person without being summoned by the Imperial Concubine, it was clear that he did not get along very well with the Imperial Concubine, so he did not give her a good face.
Song Feiren bowed to the eunuch, then looked up at the three big characters above the hall and the magnificent buildings around it.
Seeing eunuchs and palace maids walking around in the courtyard, he immediately bowed and said, "I am the biological father of the imperial concubine. Please inform her."
His voice was neither loud nor soft, and could be heard clearly in Wangyue Residence, but no one paid any attention to him.
The palace maids and eunuchs were all busy with their own affairs and no one paid any attention to him, as if they were treating him as air.
Song Feiren could only withdraw his hands awkwardly and stand outside the main hall of Wangyueju, waiting quietly.
After a while, the sun above his head shone on his back, making him so hot that half of his body was soaked. He had to wipe the sweat with a towel.
He could only look around at the sides of the alley or in front of the hall.
I want to enter the temple, but I am afraid of breaking the rules.
Then he shouted a few more times to the eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard.
Still no response.
As he was soaked all over and his hair was covered with sweat, a eunuch finally came to him.
"Master Song, right? My queen invites you!"
The eunuch reported in an indignant tone, then trotted back to his workstation.
"Thank you!"
As soon as Song Feiren bowed to express his thanks, the eunuch had already run away.
After a while he arrived at the courtyard and saw another eunuch coming.
"My queen said to let Lord Song sit in the pavilion and wait for a while."
Song Feiren nodded lightly, and after arriving at the pavilion in the courtyard, his eyes kept moving around the courtyard, feeling both curious and amazed.
This palace is dozens of times more luxurious than his Song Mansion.
Life here should be very comfortable.
After a while, Nanxiang came down to the pavilion with the help of Caiyun Juping.
As soon as she entered the pavilion, a huge sour smell mixed with stench rushed into her nose, making her cover her nose.
When Song Feiren saw the person coming, he could not hide the surprise in his eyes, and his mouth corners slightly opened, as if he had seen some beautiful fairy.
At this time, Nanxiang was wearing a breathable blue gown with a white gauze scarf draped over it. She looked elegant and dignified, with a rosy face, completely different from how she looked before she first entered the palace.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Madam Imperial Concubine!"
Song Feiren came back to his senses and immediately squatted down and saluted.
"Master Song, please don't be polite."
Nanxiang covered her nose, raised her hand slightly, and looked a little unhappy.
"I wonder why Lord Song came here?"
"My Lady! I have an unwelcome request. I hope that My Lady will save my Song family out of your kindness in raising me."
There was some sadness in Song Feiren's tone, as if he was helpless.
"Since it's an unreasonable request, then please don't say anything!"
Nanxiang said coldly and asked Caiyun to fan her. The sour smell in the air made her feel extremely nauseous.
"Can't you please save our Song family for the kindness you gave me in the past?"
Song Feiren frowned slightly, his eyes full of resentment and anger, as if he saw through Nan Xiang and was extremely disappointed.
"Where does Lord Song get the face to do this?"
