Well, there was no choice. Guo Shitong let people leave with the things. He didn't bother to do this kind of thing. Anyway, Song Qingming didn't want it. It wasn't like he didn't want to do it. When people left, the three of them were relieved.

Take a breath.

Rou Ji looked at her belly. Ever since she got Emperor Yuan's approval, she felt relieved. Song Qingming had been coming back earlier and earlier recently. The things happening around her gave her the illusion that she could stay calm like this until

The arrival of Guo Shitong.

The person standing behind Guo Shitong was the Guo family, which was why Song Qingming asked him to get the things away.

"Congratulations, Master Shangshu, you are old enough to have a son." Guo Shitong opened his mouth and stabbed Song Qingming: "It is really rare to have a son in your thirties in this dynasty, especially for those who have high official positions. Madam-in-law is a blessed person and a prosperous husband!"

Ivory can't come out of a dog's mouth! Song Qingming regretted opening the door to him. Rouji's eyes twitched. This Guo Shenjiang was really speechless. Mr. Wang, her husband is so prosperous, she may have a lot of trouble in the future.

.

The couple each had their own thoughts. Song Qingming calmly led him to the study room and asked Rou Ji to go back to her room to rest first.

As soon as he entered the study, Guo Shitong complained: "This is not my idea, it is my good father's idea. I really don't care about anything for the third prince. I don't care about flattering others."

Song Qingming rarely showed a smile: "I don't want you to be like the others."

The short conversation left the two of them in silence. Guo Shitong, who had always been carefree, sighed heavily: "It's really boring now." M.

Meeting Song Qingming's surprised eyes, Guo Shitong felt a little aggrieved: "Don't you think, since the prince-in-law left, our life has become more and more boring. Oh, you are better off, at least you are going to be a father."

"No one told us the truth, no one prepared delicious food for us," Guo Shitong thought of the days of eating and drinking in the princess's mansion, his eyes were full of nostalgia: "I want to come to see you, but I am not here today.

of."

How could Song Qingming not know that with Guo Shitong's virtue, even if he wanted to come, it would be impossible to bring so many gifts. It would be considered a courtesy not to come empty-handed, and it would be a sign of his conscience to prepare some small gifts. Today, looking at those gifts makes people feel precious.

box, not like him.

It was not his handiwork, but it was naturally the work of General Guo.

With the second prince under house arrest and the third prince in a good situation, General Guo sent his son to the Song family, somewhat taking advantage of the friendship that Guo Shitong had with his consort in the past.

Under the circumstances, his biological son is just a tool to fight for power. Guo Shitong is naive, but not stupid, so he feels awkward.

So without saying a word, he took advantage of his mouth and drove away the servant who brought the gifts, and did not let those things enter the prime minister's house.

In fact, we can interact with Guo Shitong like this, but only with him.

"Understood." Even if he knew that Guo Shitong missed Qin Feng and missed the days when the Princess's mansion was still open to welcome guests, Song Qingming would never tell him about meeting Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao in the southwest. This man's words were not very strict.

Only he knew that there was a winter drought in the place where Qin Feng stayed, so he urgently needed help. He could know that he had arrived in the southwest in such a short time, and could quickly find his whereabouts. Between the southwest and south China, he

It must be not far from the southwest.

After knowing the area where Qin Feng might be, Song Qingming couldn't hide his pride. The world constructed on that drawing was in the southwest, or not far from the southwest. He even had a guess that that place might not be the land of the East Yue Kingdom!

The closer he got to the truth, the more cautious Song Qingming became. He and Rouji reached an agreement that as long as they returned to Sui City, what happened in the southwest would be forgotten and never mentioned again!

No matter how much reluctance and regret he felt, he could only think about it slowly in the middle of the night. He would also think about what would happen after Zheng Tong and Qin Feng left.

He must be like himself, able to help Qin Feng solve problems there, and the mother and son no longer have to worry about being plotted against.

Zheng Tong's ambition also has a chance to be realized.

"Song Qingming, why are you distracted?" Guo Shitong scratched his hair irritably and said, "The situation of the second prince is not good now. Recently, some courtiers have suggested reestablishing the East Palace. This is obviously to take the opportunity to exclude the second prince."

Both of them have to attend court meetings due to their official rank. These days, the handling of the second prince and the re-establishment of the East Palace are the main points of political discussion.

The Song family is very tight-lipped about re-establishing the East Palace. Don't ask, just ask - Your Majesty makes the decision.

Not knowing how to solve the problem, he pulled the emperor out to use as a shield. My father was now more naughty than before, as if he had learned something.

Only on the matter of the second prince, Song Luo was not ambiguous - everything depends on the evidence.

Hearing Song Qingming mention this matter, Guo Shitong's mouth twitched and he hesitated: "The Song family really doesn't take sides?"

"Side in line?" Song Qingming shook his head and said: "In today's situation, you can live longer if you don't take sides. Look at those who have taken sides. How are they doing now? The former prince was ruined by the party, exiled, and dead.

The Song family doesn’t want to follow in their footsteps.”

Guo Shitong knew that he was talking about Taishi Tang, the Chen family and others, so he rubbed his nose awkwardly: "If you want to talk about witnesses, there are actually some."

"What did you say?" Song Qingming said: "Is it true that the second prince is selling private salt?"

Guo Shitong couldn't suppress his desire to gossip, and he said carelessly: "The witness is with the third prince. She is the daughter of a Jianghu gang leader, but she is unconscious and talking crazy. After tonight, she will be

I’m going to Dali Temple.”

The third prince is a man of both strength and softness, and has a good mind. With such a person in his hands, even if he can successfully accuse the second prince, His Majesty will not be happy. It is better to throw it to Dali Temple and let Zuo Pingdao have a headache.

, is also clever.

Song Qingming saw that Guo Shitong felt regretful after finishing his speech, so he said: "Don't worry, I didn't hear anything just now."

"That's right, I didn't say anything." Guo Shitong said after realizing, "Don't I believe you, Mr. Song?"

Song Qingming smiled helplessly, and then heard Guo Shitong continue to complain: "What do you think Qin Feng was thinking, abandoning Nuo Da's trading company and just leaving with the princess? Your highness just wanted to bet with the queen.

Tone?"

"I heard from my father that Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Queen had a blood feud. It seems that this is true. Otherwise, he would not have refused to attend her funeral and left after her funeral. However, it is a pity that Your Majesty

But it really hurts Your Highness."

Song Qingming did not comment, the pain was really painful, but after they left, Kunpeng was not treated lightly, and the Princess Mansion even sent a letter to him. No matter how much His Majesty loves him, it cannot withstand the challenge of his authority. Under the imperial power

, what is family affection?

Not to mention that the current trading houses have long been in the pocket of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and all the money earned goes into His Majesty's pocket. It is said that it fills the treasury, but isn't the treasury the place where Your Majesty stores his money?
