594 Reversal (3)
“Look, isn’t that Earl Zhongyi?”
At this moment, someone shouted.
Shen Yijia was shocked. She followed everyone’s gaze and saw her beautiful husband walking leisurely in their direction.
Captain Lin retracted his gaze from Shen Yijia’s face and stood up to look at Song Jingchen.
!!
Soon, Song Jingchen arrived in front of him. Beside him was a young man in luxurious clothes. He didn’t look older than Brother Hao.
“What’s going on?” Song Jingchen glanced at Shen Yijia calmly when he asked this. There was a hint of worry in the depths of his eyes, but his face was calm, as if he didn’t know that something big had happened in the palace, nor did he know that everyone was looking for him.
Captain Lin took a step forward and cupped his hands. “Earl Zhongyi, you came at the right time. Please come with us.”
“Me?” Song Jingchen frowned and sized up the guards who instantly surrounded him. He frowned and asked, “What happened in the palace?”
Seeing that he seemed to really not know, Captain Lin pursed his lips and said, “The old prince tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate His Majesty. As for the rest, Earl Zhongyi will naturally know when you see His Highness Lord Jing.”
“Huh?” The young man exclaimed, “Why would Imperial Grand-Uncle a.s.sa.s.sinate Father? Is Father alright?”
This young man was the youngest intermediate prince, the Sixth Prince. He was only eight years old this year.
He could choose not to answer Song Jingchen’s question, but he couldn’t ignore the sixth prince’s. Captain Lin said respectfully, “Sixth Prince, Your Majesty is still unconscious. As for why the old prince a.s.sa.s.sinated Your Majesty…”
He glanced at Song Jingchen and quickly lowered his head. “I don’t know. His Highness Lord Jing arrived in time to prevent the old prince from succeeding.”
“I’ll go see Father now,” the Sixth Prince said anxiously. After taking two steps and seeing that no one had moved, he frowned and said, “Aren’t you bringing Brother Song to see Eldest Brother? Eldest Brother should be at Father’s place now, right? Let’s go together.”
Captain Little Lin thought for a moment. At this moment, Lord Jing should still be in Yangxin Hall. Moreover, he didn’t say how to deal with Song Jingchen after finding him, so he nodded.
He thought of something and looked at the guard on the ground who had yet to recover from the pain. He looked at Shen Yijia with a dark gaze. “Send him back first.”
After instructing him, he reached out to Song Jingchen. “Earl Zhongyi, please.”
Shen Yijia was worried that Song Jingchen didn’t want to leave, but the latter seemed to have seen through her thoughts and shook his head slightly.
She also knew that she would definitely be recognized if she went over like this. Not only would she not be able to help, but it would also be even more difficult to explain. She clenched her fists and could only agree.
Thinking of what she had found in Song Jingchen’s study, Shen Yijia took a few steps forward, picked up the chatterbox on the ground, and pushed him in Song Jingchen’s direction.
The chatterbox was stunned.
When others saw this, they thought that Shen Yijia had not stabilized herself. After all, the difference in their bodies was obvious.
Song Jingchen’s gaze flickered and he went forward to help her.
“Earl Zhongyi, please forgive me. I didn’t do it on purpose.” Shen Yijia lowered her voice and apologized. The two of them surrounded the chatterbox. Using his body as a cover, Shen Yijia stuffed the things in her arms into Song Jingchen’s sleeve.
Noticing the bright yellow color, Song Jingchen’s eyes revealed an imperceptible smile. He said gently, “It’s fine. Be careful.”
Shen Yijia blinked. “Yes.”
With that, she grabbed the chatterbox’s arm and dragged him away without looking back.
She walked too quickly. The chatterbox could only arch his body, clench his legs, and try his best to keep up. He looked ridiculous.
“Brother, slow down.” For some reason, the chatterbox was a little afraid of the kid in front of him.
Due to the sudden situation today, many of the guards who had just been summoned had been temporarily sent out to search. In addition, there were so many people. If not for the original staff, everyone might not have remembered what they looked like.
Shen Yijia did not forget what this person had said just now. Didn’t he say that the useless emperor was too benevolent to only cripple her beautiful husband’s legs and not exterminate the Song family?
Since this person liked violence so much, she naturally could not disappoint him.
Shen Yijia did not like to hold grudges. She usually took revenge on the spot. She smiled coldly. “Sure.”
“Brothers, wait a moment.”
Shen Yijia had just tightened her grip when a sharp voice came from behind. She silently unclenched her fists.
It seemed that the chatterbox had avoided a disaster.
More than ten eunuchs walked over. The eunuch in the lead asked, “May I ask if you have seen a little palace maid with messy hair along the way? She’s about this tall.”
