Shangguan Yu followed her gaze and frowned. “Let her go.”
Song Li looked up at Shangguan Yu with a complicated expression. Shangguan
Yu had already turned his head away and said coldly, “Since I’ve left Great Xia,
I’m no longer me. It’s time to repay what I owe.”
If he let her live, he would repay her for raising him. If they met again in the future, he and the Song family would only be enemies.
Ji Yunxi disagreed. “I’m afraid the General won’t agree.”
“Is the Valley of Heavenly Secrets assisting me, or are they assisting Foster
Father?” Shangguan Yu’s voice turned colder. “I’ll explain the situation to
Foster Father.”
“We’re loyal, so His Highness is naturally the only one.” Ji Yunxi expressed her standpoint with the Valley of Heavenly Secrets and instructed MO Yu, who was driving the carriage, “Stop the carriage.”
With that, her fingertips moved slightly, and a silver needle flew out. Song Li felt her vision darken and she fainted.
Shangguan Yu’s eyes turned cold.
Ji Yunxi explained with a faint smile, “Your Highness, don’t worry. She heard our schedule. I just let her sleep.”
“I just don’t want to stir up any unnecessary troubles.” Shangguan Yu glanced away.
“Young Master, someone is chasing after us,” MO Yu reminded.
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows. They didn’t go to Ten Mile Slope?
Thinking of something, she lifted the curtain and instructed a woman in white riding at the side, “MO Tong, wait here. Help me pass a message to Shen Yijia.”
“If she doesn’t want the Lin siblings to die, I want to see her in Phoenix Town in the Xuanyuan Kingdom in three months.”
When she said this, there was even a strange glint in her eyes.
Song Li woke up with a sigh. She slowly opened her eyes.
“Ah Li is awake?”
This form of address almost made Song Li think that she had returned to her old self.
She turned around and wanted to sit up, but she realized that her entire body was weak.
Madam Li reached out and helped her up. She asked with concern, “Are you feeling unwell anywhere else?”
“Sister-in-law, I’m fine.” As soon as she opened her mouth, Song Li realized that her throat was dry.
Recognizing that she was in her residence on Liu’er Street, she asked, “How long have I been asleep?”
“Half a month.” Madam Li turned around and poured a cup of tea for her to drink. “Calm down first. I’ll call Han’er over. That child has been worried sick for the past half a month.”
Song Li nodded. “Thank you, Sister-in-law.” Not long after, Shangguan Han arrived.
“Mother, how are you feeling?” he asked nervously.
Song Li sized him up from head to toe and smiled. “Mother is fine.”
“That Ji Yunxi is too despicable. She actually wants Mother to sleep forever.
Fortunately, MO Yuan is here.”
Thinking of what had happened in the carriage, Song Li’s expression became complicated. She changed the topic and asked, “Why did you suddenly return to the capital?”
Shangguan Han said, “Cousin sent a letter to ask me to return. He said I should thank the emperor.”
That was the truth. He really wasn’t lying to the general guarding the city.
Song Jingchen’s letter was sent on the day of the rehabilitation.
He knew that the emperor would not agree to summon Shangguan Han back, but that did not mean that Shangguan Han could not return on his own.
The emperor had pardoned him, so thanking him was a suitable reason.
Besides, Xunyang was a long way from the capital, and Song Jingchen didn’t have the ability to predict the future. It was a coincidence that he could make it in time.
Song Li understood what his return meant.
She suddenly became serious.
“Mother?”
“Han’er, I want you to promise me something.”
“Hey, isn’t it just one thing? Why are you so serious?” Shangguan Han heaved a sigh of relief.
‘Mother, tell me.”
“I want you to swear that no matter what happens in the future, you can’t attack the Song family. One day, if you really can’t tolerate them anymore, just let them go.”
“Mother!” Shangguan Han’s face turned red with anger. “What kind of person do you think I am? How can I attack my cousin?”
“I want you to swear,” Song Li insisted.
It wasn’t that she didn’t believe in her son, but she didn’t believe in that position or the suspicious nature of the Shangguan family.
It was true that Shangguan Han was her son, but he also carried half of the Shangguan family’s bloodline.
When Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia entered, the atmosphere in the room was still a little strange.
“Cousin, Sister-in-law,” Shangguan Han called out gloomily.
Song Li smiled and waved at the two of them. “Ah Chen and Jiajia are here.” “Is Aunt feeling better?” Shen Yijia sat by the bed and asked with concern.
Song Li held her hand and shook her head. “I’m fine. Aunt has implicated you this time.”
Song Li only woke up after taking the spiritual liquid. Of course, Shen Yijia knew that she was fine.
Actually, if she hadn’t given the spiritual liquid to Furball on the day of the accident, she wouldn’t have slept for so long.
Shen Yijia waved her hand. “Mother often says that family doesn’t have to talk like that. Aunt, don’t say that.”
Song Jingchen walked forward. “Aunt.”
Song Li glanced at him and smiled bitterly. “If you have anything to ask, just
“What exactly happened between you and Concubine Li back then?”
He had also investigated in the past half a month. Su Yun, was unwilling to say anything.
However, everyone who was present when Concubine Li gave birth said that the empress had indeed personally given her medicine.
Not long after Concubine Li was rumored to be pregnant, the empress brought her into Kunning Palace to recuperate.
If nothing happened to Concubine Li in the end, her actions could at most be considered to be care and consideration towards a pregnant concubine.
However…
Concubine Li was gone, but the empress still raised her child by her side..
