Chapter 229 Mutual checks and balances

Early this morning, the emperor summoned Song Baoling and Jun Tingsheng to discuss the marriage with them.

"From the current situation, their marriage cannot be done for the time being."

Song Baoling was not surprised when he heard this. Not to mention Yemuna had broken his legs. Now that he is sleeping all day long, the marriage can naturally not proceed.

The emperor glanced at the two of them and said, "You came from afar and should have treated each other with courtesy, but now that so many things have happened, I have a headache."

"Although you have sent the fifteenth princess, I still hope you can stay for a little longer. I wonder what you two mean?"

Song Bao keenly realized something was wrong. The emperor was clearly suspected that they were related to the Yemuna broken leg. He must have found an opportunity to find out.

But if they refuse, wouldn’t it mean that they were guilty of being a thief? And Shu Ning’s matter has not been completely resolved, so they definitely cannot leave at this time.

After receiving Song Baoling's hint, Jun Tingsheng bowed his fists and said, "Then we have to bother us for a while."

On this side, Yemuna was drowsy all day long, and Shu Ning also stayed in the house to serve him all day long, and she was actually very happy.

The queen learned from the palace that she was busy taking care of her, and thought she was working day and night, so she rewarded her with a lot of good things.

Looking at the table of jewelry, Shu Ning was even more happy and immediately asked the maid to invite Song Baoling.

Maybe she was so happy that Song Baoling came and was about to salute, Shu Ning pulled her into the house.

"There are no outsiders here, so don't be polite to me, sit down quickly."

When he came to the house, Shu Ning put a string of red agate bracelet on Song Baoling's hand, "This is a reward from the Queen, and it must be a rare thing. I'll give it to you."

Song Baoling looked at the red agate on his hand, then took it down and put it back in the box, "Thank you, Princess, but this is something the queen rewards, and the princess cannot give it to anyone easily."

"The prince always remembers that this is the country of Xianqi. If someone with a heart knows that you will give the rewards from the queen to others at will, you will be afraid that you will say that you are disrespectful to the queen."

Upon hearing this, Shu Ning was stunned for a smile on her face and sat back on the stool with a little disappointed feeling.

"I gave it to you anything that my mother and the emperor's elder brother and sister-in-law donated, but no one dared to say anything. Now I can't do anything I want."

"Song Baoling, why did I agree to marry you? It's just a desperate situation."

Seeing that she was in a low mood and was worried that she would run away again, Song Baoling had to persuade him: "Now that marriage is a foregone conclusion. Since the princess is coming, let's have peace."

"What's more, the current situation is not completely harmless to us. As long as the princess is cautious in her words and actions, I believe there will be a good result in the end."

Shu Ning also knew her situation, nodded to Song Baoling, and said, "It's really thanks to you this time. If it weren't for the medicine you gave me, I'd probably be beaten and scolded by Yemna every day."

"This medicine is only used to temporarily suspend the situation. It is not suitable for use on Yamuna to avoid being discovered."

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of responsibility."

The two were discussing, and a slight sound suddenly came from outside the door. Song Baoling stood up alertly and walked over, only to see a palace maid leaving quickly.

This is... the person around Yemuna.

Song Baoling was shocked and immediately chased after him. However, the palace maid ran very fast and ran far away in the blink of an eye.

She can't go back and inform her!

Thinking of this, Song Baoling speeded up, and just as the palace maid was about to run out of her field of vision, he stopped her.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The palace maid hit Yemuqi and turned around and saw Song Baoling chasing her. She looked at Yemuqi with a panic on her face: "Your Highness, I just heard them..."

“Bold!”

Yemuqi interrupted her coldly and said angrily: "Come here, this slut dares to collide with Your Highness and deal with me according to the palace rules."

The palace maid was shocked. Before she could defend herself, Yemuqi's personal bodyguard suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her neck. With a slight sound of "crack", the palace maid died instantly, and the body was lifted by two eunuchs.

Walk.

The whole process was like flowing water, and Song Baoling, who caught up, was stunned, "Your Highness, you..."

"Miss Song, it's rare to see it today. There is a courtyard not far ahead. How about following me and talking?"

When Song Baoling saw the palace servant behind him, he had no choice but to nod and follow him to the courtyard.

Walking on the road, Song Baoling secretly looked at Yemuqi. He was obviously helping him just now, but why did he do this?

"Miss Song is wondering why I want to help you?"

"Shu Ling'er is ignorant, I wonder what your highness meant?"

Yemuqi suddenly stopped and turned around and stared at Song Baoling and looked at him, "Miss Song, don't worry, after all, you and I have joined forces to deal with the assassin, and I will not harm you."

"As for Yemna's life or death, I don't care, so Miss Song doesn't have to be too nervous."

Song Baoling seemed to be full of sincerity when he saw him, but even so, he did not relax his vigilance.

"Then I would like to thank Your Highness."

Hearing this, Yemuqi smiled faintly and raised his foot to continue walking forward, "Miss Song doesn't need to thank you. In fact, I joined forces with you and I also like your intelligence."

"Now I've been doing it, so why not help me with Miss Song? How about it?"

When Song Baoling first came to him to join forces to deal with Yemu, he guessed that there would be such a day, but she could not agree to anything.

"This is Xianqi Country. There are some things that the little girl is really capable of. It's better for Your Highness to talk about it first. If the little girl can help, she will naturally not refuse."

"With your intelligence, I believe that with your help, you will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Yemuqi praised generously, and then told Song Baoling what he wanted was to rescue his mother.

"Forgive the little girl to be rude, may I ask your highness's mother is..."

"My mother is Concubine Lou."

Concubine Lou?

Song Baoling suddenly remembered that Mr. Pei had mentioned this person before the Xianqi Kingdom, but she had been here for several days, but she had never seen this person.

Yemuqi saw her doubts and took the initiative to explain to her: "A year ago, the queen designed to frame my mother's wife and the guards. The father was furious and locked her mother in the cold palace."

"But the guard died after that. Now there is no evidence to die. The mother can no longer clear her grievances. I am afraid she will spend the rest of her life in the cold palace."

Song Baoling was a little scared after hearing this. He looked at him hesitating for a moment and asked, "If the emperor believed it, why did he let you sit firmly on the position of prince?"

Hearing this, Yemuqi's face became a little ugly, "Although the father retained my position as the prince, he was somewhat dissatisfied with me, and even... he secretly doubted my bloodline."

Song Baoling thought silently. She and Yemuqi joined forces to deal with Yemuna. If she did not agree to help, what if he turned against him, wouldn’t he shoot himself in the foot?

"Don't worry, Your Highness, since we are allies, I will definitely help you with this."
