Chapter 175 The Coffin Hiding a Woman
Chapter 175 The Coffin Hiding a Woman
Situ Jing was completely stunned.
what is happening?
Why is my aunt here?
Logically speaking, the other party should stay in the imperial city and should be in the Zhenbei Palace at this moment.
Moreover, it was Song Yuan who ordered someone to open the coffin.
Could it be that this guy already knew this?
No wonder my aunt didn’t show up this morning. It turns out she was hiding in the coffin.
It seems that I am the only one who has been kept in the dark from beginning to end. These people are so hateful!
"Huhuhu..."
Ye Xuan couldn't care about anything else at the moment. She supported the edge of the coffin with both hands and gasped for breath.
The coffin was sealed very tightly, and I held my breath in it for a long time. Even someone as capable as Ye Xuan could hardly breathe.
"What are you two still standing there for? Help him down quickly!"
Seeing that the people around him did not respond for a long time, Song Yuan hurriedly urged them.
Only then did Ye Xuan slowly come to the ground with the help of everyone.
After all this trouble, Ye Xuan's condition had improved a lot. After raising her head, she glared at Song Yuan unhappily.
"It's all your fault. If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid I'll suffocate to death in there!"
Faced with such accusations, Song Yuan showed an expression of being neither amused nor helpless.
I had previously instructed Ye Xuan to drill a hole in the coffin in advance.
However, it seems that this consideration is still somewhat imperfect.
It was a hot day, and coupled with the long march, it was understandable that the other party was out of breath. The small space in the coffin made people even more nervous.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. As long as people are fine, everything will be fine!"
Song Yuan smiled and said to Ye Xuan, "How about this? I'll personally apologize to my aunt tonight. That's fine, right?"
"You are the prince, I can't afford to be treated like a princess!" Ye Xuan rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Faced with such ridicule, Song Yuan was about to say something, but the next second he felt a pain in his ear, and a roar completely interrupted his train of thought.
"Song Yuan, you have to explain yourself to me today. If you don't explain the reason, I will never let you go!"
Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Situ Jing, who was left out, became completely angry.
So you all know what's going on.
Am I the only one kept hidden in the valley?
You two are avoiding me, am I that unreliable?
Seeing the tigress furious, Song Yuan showed a bitter smile on his face.
He had anticipated that such a scene would happen, so he quickly pulled Situ Jing's hand away and began to comfort her.
"You're already a princess, at least pay attention to your image!"
"Don't worry, if someone wants to talk, let's go talk to them. There are so many people here, aren't you afraid of something unexpected happening?"
After hearing Song Yuan's reminder, Situ Jing came back to her senses. Considering her current situation, she glared at him unhappily and then turned and left.
Seeing this, Song Yuan had no choice but to follow the tigress with his aunt.
The three of them walked to a deserted place before Situ Jing finally attacked.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on!"
Hearing this, Song Yuan frowned slightly. The situation before him was obviously more serious than he had expected.
Song Yuan had already sensed that this volcanic eruption would be more intense than any previous one.
If I dare to laugh again, I might really get beaten!
To avoid such a tragic ending, Song Yuan said with a serious face: "What else is there to say? Can't you see this? I spent so much effort, just to take my aunt to the border!"
"I said no!"
Upon hearing Song Yuan's purpose, Situ Jing's face suddenly turned gloomy. She put her hands on her hips and directly refused.
"You could have just taken me with you to die, why did you bring Auntie with you? Don't you feel uncomfortable without a blanket before you die? Don't you know what going to the frontier means?"
In fact, Situ Jing was naturally happy to have her family around.
But when she thought about the dangers of the border, how could she let Ye Xuan take the risk?
This time, Situ Jing followed Song Yuan with the intention of dying. Even he himself might not be able to return, so how could he drag others down?
"This matter has been decided, and it's not just my aunt, everyone in the Zhenbei Palace will follow me to the border!"
Song Yuan's face was serious, and he continued speaking.
As soon as these words were spoken, Situ Jing's face suddenly turned gloomy and his whole body began to tremble.
Why?
Why does my mother also want to go to the frontier?
Isn't it enough for me to die alone?
Does Song Yuan have to drag everyone in Zhenbei Palace to death before he is satisfied?
No, this guy is deceiving himself.
He deliberately made the matter sound so serious so that he could lessen his guilt.
"I don't care what you say. Even if the sky falls, this matter is non-negotiable. My aunt must go back, and no one can stop her!"
"If you dare to insist again, and dare to talk nonsense here again, believe it or not, I will let you go now?"
"Jing'er, that's enough!"
Seeing that Song Yuan was clearly having trouble coping, Ye Xuan at the side finally offered to help.
"Jing'er, the prince didn't lie. Your mother and the others will meet up with us in the next city. When we get there, you'll know that everything is true!"
"how is this possible?"
Situ Jing turned around with a dazed look and looked straight at Ye Xuan.
She originally thought that Song Yuan was lying, but now even Ye Xuan said so, she couldn't help but believe it.
After all, my aunt and I are family, how could the other party cheat me?
But going to the border is clearly seeking death. How could those people from the Zhenbei Palace agree to go on the same journey with Song Yuanyi?
"Jing'er, there are some things you should know by now. To be honest, the prince's trip to the border is not as simple as you think!"
"According to the prince's plan, the first step upon reaching that place is to seize military power. Once this is achieved, your mother and the others' lives will be in danger if they remain in the imperial city. The only way to ensure their safety is to travel together!"
"Song Yuan has already discussed this matter with your mother. Don't worry, everything will be fine!"
Now that we have left the imperial city, some things can naturally be said openly.
But when Situ Jing heard this, her eyes widened.
I couldn't believe it for a long time. How could this loser Song Yuan seize military power?
Am I crazy?
This guy is obviously a coward, but when it comes to being sneaky and cunning, he might have some skills.
How could he have the courage to seize military power?
No, this guy has already said that he wants to go to the border to rebel!
It seems that what I said before was true. It was obviously me who didn’t see it clearly!
While Situ Jing was lost in thought, Song Yuan quickly added, "The reason I'm thinking this way is for the safety of us. Only with power stemming from the barrel of a gun and soldiers in hand can we guarantee our lives!"
"Do you really think I would treat the Third Brother as my own brother? He's now crowned the Crown Prince. If he succeeds in ascending the throne, how will people like you and me survive?"
"Of course I have to take precautions in advance, otherwise I'll just be handing my head over to someone else for nothing."
"But……"
Listening to Song Yuan's clear and logical analysis, Situ Jing felt like she was completely dumbfounded.
Is this still the Song Yuan I knew before?
Is this still the coward in my impression?
wrong!
wrong!
My mother and aunt have known it for a long time. They have known Song Yuan’s true face for a long time!
It turns out these people have been hiding things from me from the beginning, so I'm the only one being deceived, right?
"It's almost time, let's get going quickly to avoid any more trouble. We should hurry up and meet up with my mother-in-law first!"
Seeing that Situ Jing's mood had eased a lot, Song Yuan was the first to urge her.
But it wasn't until this moment that Situ Jing thought of a question: "Don't worry, His Majesty can probably think of anything you can think of! Do you think he will let our people from the Zhenbei Palace leave the imperial city?"
"What if my mother and the others are stopped by His Majesty and can't fight back?"
Speaking of this, Situ Jing's heart was full of worries. If those people in the Zhenbei Palace could not escape, they would definitely become the Third Prince's punching bags.
Based on Song Qi's character, he would definitely return the insult he had suffered from Song Yuan double.
Will those who go to the Northern Prince's Palace still have a chance to survive by then?
"Don't worry about me! If you can't see them by then, I'll cut off my head and let you kick it like a ball. Is that okay?" But Song Yuan had no worries about this at all.
He had been planning this matter for a long time. If he was not absolutely sure, how could he leave so easily?
Looking at Song Yuan's receding back, Situ Jing felt for a moment that everything in front of her was so unreal.
In the end, she could only look at her aunt beside her with helpless eyes: "Aunt, please explain to me, what is going on?"
"It's almost time to get going. Let's talk on the way. I'll definitely explain everything to you then!"
"I can only remind you that you underestimated your husband before. He is truly a rare talent. Otherwise, if Song Yuan wasn't so outstanding, how could the Third Prince have suffered such repeated losses at his hands with his wisdom?"
Hearing such an evaluation, Situ Jing's eyes were full of confusion.
If you think about it carefully, it is really like this.
The Third Prince gave money to Song Yuan again and again. Wasn't he being fooled by this guy?
But, things are things.
When Situ Jing thought about how so many people were hiding things from her, she felt a little annoyed and complained to her aunt in a bad mood.
"Aunt, you are such a fool! Instead of helping me, you help an outsider. I don't care. You must tell me today. Besides this matter, how many other things are you hiding from me?"
"If you really say so, that's a lot!"
To ease the atmosphere, Ye Xuan deliberately said, "Let me put it this way. The Song Yuan you saw before was fake from beginning to end. He was just pretending to be a coward and a coward!"
"Also, the poems he sang in the brothel were all written by him, and he did it on purpose!"
"If it weren't for the commotion caused by those poems, we probably wouldn't be able to leave the Imperial City right now. It's because of this forced abdication that this trip was able to go so smoothly!"
really?
The more Situ Jing spoke, the more dreamy it felt.
I just felt that the Song Yuan described by my aunt was completely different from the one I had in my mind.
In the conflict between imagination and reality, Situ Jing felt that she had completely lost the ability to think.
For a moment, I just lowered my head, trying to find a basis for judgment.
"My Lord, this move of yours is truly powerful!"
At the same time, Song Yuan had come to the front of the team and told everyone to pack up and continue on their way!
Fatty Zhao came forward immediately and spoke with a look of admiration.
"This is the first time I've seen a woman hidden in a coffin. Your helper is better than mine, my Lord!"
As for?
Song Yuan glared at Fatty Zhao unhappily.
Then he turned around and glanced at the other coffins.
What he was hiding wasn't just a woman!
I even hid money in the other coffins!
