Song Tao waited outside the palace for a short time and was quickly summoned.
He followed the palace man and walked forward with his head bowed.
But the further he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.
He had also entered Daliang Palace a long time ago. This was obviously the way to the vestibule, right?
If his memory is good, is this the direction to the imperial study?
Could it be that she summoned him in the imperial study room?
In front of the emperor?
Song Tao felt strange in his heart... He even reflected on whether it was inappropriate for him to ask to see her now? Will it cause her trouble?
His steps suddenly stopped.
The father-in-law walked forward for a long time, only to realize that he had not followed.
"Mr. Song?" The father-in-law looked back at him.
Song Tao frowned.
Now that the queen has announced his presence... and now he retreats, firstly, it is disrespectful, and secondly, it also appears that he has a "guilty conscience."
It's nothing at first, but it will attract people's attention because of his guilty conscience.
Song Tao took a deep breath and followed the eunuch with strides.
When he arrived at the imperial study, he came forward to see him and salute.
The people at the top never say "flat body".
He kept bowing his head.
Song Tao glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw... there was no Queen at all!
He clearly only saw Xiao Yuchen sitting on top.
Song Tao bent so hard that his back was sore.
Xiao Yuchen put down his pen and said, "Pingshen."
Song Tao straightened up, his eyes a little cold, "I wonder what the emperor's instructions are when he summons Song?"
Xiao Yuchen waved his hand and told the palace people to retreat.
"You want to see the queen?" Xiao Yuchen seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Song Tao had dealt with him several times before, but he was not the emperor at that time, and he would not ask with a smile.
He was just afraid that he would be punched when he came up, which would be far less deep than the city is like today.
Now, when he looked at the emperor, he couldn't see the emperor's happiness or anger at all.
Is the emperor angry or not? Will he anger the queen?
Only now did Song Tao realize...that he had been reckless.
The natural peace he felt when getting along with Han Xian made him no longer wary of others.
When people relax, they become careless.
He forgot about Xiao Yuchen's stinginess and jealousy... Of course, these are common traits of men in front of the person they like.
He just wanted to see Wen Jin and listen to her advice, but he forgot that this would also affect and hurt her...
Song Tao thought about how to deal with Xiao Yuchen without involving Wen Jin.
After thinking about it...he realized that the only option was to tell the truth and expose his own shortcomings.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Who is he most afraid of knowing about his unbearable past and unspeakable pain...
Perhaps the first one is the man in front of him - Xiao Yuchen.
But now, he wanted to tell him personally.
This was more embarrassing to him than the past itself.
Song Tao clenched his fists and breathed heavily. Before he could say anything, his muscles were already tense.
Xiao Yuchen is a martial arts practitioner and has profound internal skills.
He immediately noticed Song Tao's defensive attitude.
He raised his eyebrows. He hadn't even "attacked" yet, and he didn't even have any luck.
Why is Song Tao so nervous?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Song has a difficult problem in mind, and I would like to ask the Queen for some guidance."
Before Song Tao finished speaking, Xiao Yuchen's demeanor immediately changed.
Is this okay?
Who does Song Tao think the Queen is?
Does he have a problem on his mind?
Is it possible that the Queen is still his "intimate person" and "Yujiehua"? !
How unreasonable! How presumptuous!
Xiao Yuchen was about to take action.
"Song Qin slandered the Empress and spread rumors to cause trouble. Instead of being troubled by it, the Empress used this to completely eliminate Song Qin's sinister intentions. And Song..."
Song Tao smiled palely, "But he was completely defeated by Song Qin's strategy of attacking the heart, so he came to ask for advice from the empress. Maybe he can get the advice from the empress to reverse the defeat."
Xiao Yuchen saw the wry smile on Song Tao's face.
He also saw that Song Tao's muscles were tense, but in fact he was hiding his sensitive and fragile heart with an appearance of being ready for action.
The person who understands men best is undoubtedly a man.
Xiao Yuchen not only saw that Song Tao had no offensive power at this time.
He even saw that Song Tao had put aside all his previous pride and arrogance, and only wanted relief.
Song Tao's position in Xiao Yuchen's heart is rather strange... It's not entirely true that he is an enemy.
It is absolutely impossible to say that he is a friend.
After all, it was in the past, when his relationship with Wen Jin was still on thin ice...Song Tao was the one who saved Wen Jin for him.
Seeing that Song Tao had a hidden agenda, Xiao Yuchen was more patient than usual.
"Let me tell you, although I don't have any medical skills, I will never be ashamed to boast that I am brave and good at fighting. My tactics are not inferior to anyone's." Xiao Yuchen said.
Song Tao glanced at him, smiled and lowered his head.
I'm afraid only he himself knows how much reluctance there is in this smile.
"Song Qin took advantage of my unpreparedness and put the poison into my body, using the poison to control me... and in this way, he took away the family property from my hands.
“The family business inherited from my grandfather and father, and expanded by my hands, has now become the cornerstone of his misdeeds.
"I want to take revenge for my grandparents, my father, and even myself, and take back the family property...but..."
Song Tao really found it difficult to speak and stopped talking.
Xiao Yuchen was anxious after hearing this.
"Yes, you're a great man. If you don't fight back after being bullied to the point of being bullied, what are you doing?" Xiao Yuchen asked.
Song Tao felt embarrassed and could not hide his shame and annoyance.
"Does the Emperor think I don't want to?"
"So, you can't beat him?" Xiao Yuchen said.
Song Tao was even more embarrassed and annoyed, "The emperor is the proud son of heaven and was born to be a top nobleman. How can you understand that some things just require hard work!"
Xiao Yuchen raised his eyebrows, "Oh? For example?"
Song Tao chuckled, "The emperor's mother-in-law is from the Shen family, the hairpin family, and has a very high background. Among the princes, the status of your maternal relative also determines your position in the eyes of the late emperor, right?"
"Your Majesty, have you ever seen a prince whose mother and concubine have a low status? How are they living?"
Song Tao contradicted him so hurriedly and sternly.
Xiao Yuchen smiled instead of being angry.
He knew that people would only put up their spikes when someone touches a painful or vulnerable place, either to defend or to fight back.
This is obviously the case with Song Tao.
"Oh, it seems that you are very sensitive to the issue of parentage?" Xiao Yuchen smiled, "I admit that the strength of my mother's family has helped me avoid many detours in making achievements.
"But my meritorious service today, my control of power in the court, and my prestige in the army are all achieved by me in each battle!
"Have you ever been in the military? Most of the people in the military come from poor backgrounds, and they hate the rich the most.
"Although I am a prince, I am still a favored prince. But when I first came to the army, I was framed, put in small shoes, and ostracized... that was too much.
"Should I resent my origin? Should I leave the army and return to wealth and comfort?
"Whatever you want, if God gives it to you, you are lucky. If God doesn't give it to you, you have to fight for it yourself!
"Understanding what you want is the most important thing!"
Song Tao's heart was shaken by Xiao Yuchen's deep and deep voice, and his eyes that were sure to preserve the edge of time.
He really never thought that... Xiao Yuchen, a dignified prince who had a smooth journey, could say these words.
Xiao Yuchen's figure suddenly became taller and majestic in his sight.
