After having a delicious meal in Prince Dai's Mansion, everyone saw that Prince Dai was a little tired, so they stood up and left.
Song Yaojia sent everyone outside the palace, watched them leave, thought for a while, and waved to the chief guard of the palace.
"His Royal Highness, what are your orders?"
"Send a few people to follow you secretly to escort His Majesty back to the palace and back again."
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately!"
Song Yaojia nodded. In fact, he didn't have to do this. It was impossible for Song Jue to go out without a shadow following him. What's more, there were masters like Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Bai Meng around him. Safety was not a problem, but in his heart I just feel unsteady and always feel like something is going to happen.
After standing at the door of the mansion for a long time, until the head guard told him that someone had been arranged to follow him, Song Yaojia breathed a sigh of relief and slowly turned around and walked into the mansion.
"Your Highness!" The chamberlain who was following Prince Dai came over and saluted Song Yaojia, "Your Highness, please come over."
"knew!"
Song Yaojia was led by the chamberlain into the courtyard where the prince lived. The chamberlain and the chief guard were guarding the courtyard, preventing anyone from approaching. Song Yaojia entered the main room alone.
When he walked in, he saw his father lying lazily on the soft couch, his eyes half closed to concentrate. Hearing the movement outside, Prince Dai did not open his eyes.
"Come and sit!" Prince Dai waved, "Sent him off?"
"Yes, I felt a little uneasy, so I sent someone to follow me." Song Yaojia moved a small stool, sat down next to the soft couch, and told the prince what happened before they returned home, "I really didn't expect that. Two adults..."
"It has something to do with the Golden Man, right?" Prince Dai smiled, "I have told you a long time ago that people should not be judged by their appearance. What a person sees with his eyes may not be true, and what he hears with his ears may not be accurate. . People or things should be listened and seen carefully. Besides, the actions of those two adults over the years, especially in the past two years, have not left traces."
"Father has always known?"
"Do you really think your father is hanging around in Xijing? It's not easy to be an idle prince. Before the death of the late emperor, he specially summoned us princes, princes, and clans who were resident in Beijing to come to the palace and asked us to help keep an eye on it. The movements in Xijing City, especially the actions of certain craftsmen, must be closely monitored, at least until the period when His Majesty first ascends the throne."
"So, that tea house is under your surveillance? Why not eliminate it as soon as possible? Isn't this a hidden danger?"
"Silly boy, whether you are a spy or a spy, you can never stop the ban, and you can never stop killing. Not only our Daxia, but also the Liao, Jin, and other small countries like the Duan family, there are This is a situation like this. If the spies didn't go too far, they would just turn a blind eye and pass by. After all, we also send people to others. We can't do this kind of thing, and others can't do it, right? But Mr. Cai , Mr. Gao, especially in the past few days after the Duke and the General returned to Beijing, they were too happy and their intentions were too obvious, which was to ruin the reputation of the Shen family army, which made His Majesty angry. We’re going to deal with them.”
"Father, do you mean that this has all been planned?"
"Of course, there is a plan. You can't just think it out of the blue, right? If you don't catch them, or don't block them in the Jin people's territory, then it's just a groundless slander. Speaking of which, It was also good luck. This plan was made by the Duke and the General after they returned to Beijing. It only took two days, but I didn't expect it to be implemented so quickly. This is also thanks to the daughter of the Jia family who chose to cause trouble today, otherwise , it won’t happen today, the most it will do is let the shadows keep an eye on it, and you need an opportunity to arrest someone.”
"It seems that the eldest lady of the Jia family is not only looking for trouble, but also has other uses." Song Yaojia curled her lips, "But, father, do you really plan to return to Wangxin Town? You..."
"What silly things are you kid saying? If you say it in front of His Majesty, it is of course true. Besides, this has been a knot in my heart for so many years. If I can't untie it in my lifetime, even if I go to see your mother, There will also be regrets." Prince Dai chuckled, opened his eyelids and glanced at his son sitting in front of him, then closed them again and continued, "Don't worry, your dad has been through strong winds and waves, nothing he hasn't seen before! Wangxin Town was built by me and cannot be destroyed like this. Besides, the situation now is different from our time. The border is guarded by Shen Jiajun. Our relationship with Liao is not bad now. It is not as tense as before. The only thing What we have to deal with is gold. As long as Wangxin Town is properly rebuilt, your father's wish will be fulfilled."
"How about I go with you?" Song Yaojia covered Prince Dai with a blanket, "Children are always worried when they stay at home."
"Why are you going? After I leave Xijing, this mission will fall on your shoulders." Prince Dai reached out and patted his son's arm, "It just so happens that Xiaocha is in Beijing now. If you have nothing to do, go and talk to her. Chat, despite her young age, she is a very powerful person in this area. Compared with her, I would be at a disadvantage."
"...Okay, the child knows. But the father..."
"Okay, I know what you are going to say. There won't be a war easily now. Even if there is, it will be blocked by various realms. The war will not spread to Wangxin Town, and there will be no danger. You just Stop worrying blindly and stay at home."
"……yes!"
When Song Yaojia saw his father with his eyes closed and no longer talking, he knew that this meant letting him go. He sighed softly, stood up and put the small stool back to its original place, bowed deeply to the Prince Dai, and gently He left the main room quietly.
Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Prince Dai opened his eyes slightly, staring at the door thoughtfully for a while, and then sighed. His son's mind was too delicate, and some It’s not a good thing to think too much sometimes, it can easily tire yourself out. He turned over, closed his eyes again, and fell asleep after a while.
The acting prince was asleep here, and as soon as Song Yaojia left the main room, she saw the head guard rushing over with an anxious look on his face.
"Your Highness, something happened. Your Majesty was ambushed on his way back to the palace."
"Ambush?" Song Yaojia stopped and almost fell down. She reached out to hold the guard captain's shoulders and looked at him seriously, "How is your majesty?"
"Your Highness, don't worry, we have all been captured alive and taken to the prison of the Criminal Department."
"That's good." Song Yaojia breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you know who is so bold?"
"It's ridiculous." A look of helplessness appeared on the guard chief's face, "They are the soldiers of the two imperial censors who were arrested."
"Public soldiers?" Song Yaojia frowned, "A mere censor actually raises soldiers? Sure enough, he has some evil intentions."
"Who says it's not the case! Although their combat effectiveness is average, there are quite a lot of them, and they look quite scary."
"Where is your Majesty now?"
"We have returned to the palace." The chief guard looked at Song Yaojia and asked hesitantly, "Your Highness, do you want to enter the palace?"
"Yes!" Song Yaojia nodded, "Such a big thing has happened, and all the governments should have received the news by now. Especially His Majesty was ambushed after leaving our residence. Due to circumstances and reasons, I also want to go and visit. . However, don’t alarm father about this matter first, wait until I come back from the palace.”
"Yes, I obey!"
