Chapter 212: The Prince Refuses to Come and Gets Nothing
Obviously the person was not in the mansion at all, but he still said that. It was nothing more than trying to deal with him. Song Shi was not on guard and asked a question.
"Take medicine? What happened to your young mistress?"
"Young Madam has not been in good health. She has been recuperating since coming to Hanzhou, so taking medicine is a common thing. But she is in good spirits."
Song Shi also understood this. After all, in her previous life, she also took medicine every day after marrying him. So he didn't doubt it. Seeing that the housekeeper was also open and honest, he believed it.
"Go inside and wait."
"Yes, please."
Butler Yue raised his hand and led Song Shiye and his servant into the house, then calmly led them to the flower hall. Didn't he want to wait? Then just wait patiently.
So they were served with good tea and snacks, and then they left the flower hall.
As a result, an entire afternoon had passed, and Song Shi still hadn't waited for Jiang Shiyuan to show up. Instead, when he was on the verge of becoming furious, he saw Butler Yue come in.
"What's going on in your family? You're just ignoring the prince! How is this way of entertaining guests, Madam Pei?"
Song Bai was the first to attack, and although Song Shi did not speak, he was also very unhappy! But the housekeeper Yue was calm and even smiled.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. The young lady has stood up, but after hearing your identity, she only said, 'I won't see you!' That's why I came here to ask you to leave. Everyone in our courtyard respects the young lady. If she says she won't see you, then even if the old commander comes, she won't see you!"
This was already very straightforward. Regardless of Song Shi's identity, even if it was his father-in-law, Marshal Pei, in front of her, Song Shi's anger rose all of a sudden. He had never been rejected like this since he became the regent, so he was very upset.
But he was not blind. He soon realized that the servants in this mansion were all martial artists. Although they stood in front of the door in an orderly manner, they would immediately step forward if he made any improper move.
Based on his understanding of the Pei family, these people will not give up until they achieve their goal, so he snorted coldly and said.
"Mrs. Pei is really good at entertaining guests. This prince came all the way here just to deliver a letter to the family. Not only did she not show up to meet me, but she also has such an attitude!"
Butler Yue replied calmly.
"The young lady said that you should understand the reasons for the right and wrong. If you still want to maintain a little dignity, there is no need to say more."
After saying this, Song Shi's face also became very ugly.
To be honest, his excuse of delivering a letter home on behalf of the Crown Prince's Consort might be fooling outsiders, but if he were talking to Jiang Shiyuan, he really wouldn't be able to say anything.
So there was no other choice but to leave the mansion with a sigh of relief.
After he left, Butler Yue sent the report of the situation here to the military camp. Pei Zisu, who received the news, looked at the dark night outside, his eyes full of murderous intent.
The next day, Geng Shiming and others prepared to leave.
When they were at the gate of Hanzhou City, everyone was saying goodbye. The King of Han glanced at everyone and said something special.
"It's a pity this time. We really don't have enough time. When the King of Japan goes to Xijing City, I will invite Lord Geng to drink again."
"Your Highness, you are too polite. If that day ever comes, I will certainly welcome you." Song Shiye's expression was very calm, as if he had already made a plan. Originally he was not happy about leaving so early, but now he was very calm. As expected, before he could finish his farewell words, several men in black suddenly appeared.
He slashed in the direction of the King of Han, and people around him screamed. The King of Han had a serious expression and was not afraid of the sudden assassination. However, before he could unsheathe his sword, Song Shi had already blocked it.
He deliberately rushed towards the black-clothed man's sword with his left hand, and ended up getting injured.
There was a cut on his arm, and blood was flowing. The King of Han stepped forward to support him and immediately asked.
"Is it okay!"
"It's okay. How's Uncle Han Wang?"
"Just a few petty thieves, you dare to think of going against me!"
The King of Han roared, drew his sword and rushed forward, and the guards around him did the same, so soon all the men in black fell to the ground. In order to avoid being exposed, those people took poison in advance, and the black blood at the corners of their mouths meant that they were dead.
"Humph, you think you can get away with it by dying? Check it out for me! I want to see who is behind this!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Song Shiye felt a little uneasy. Those people were sent by him. His original plan was for them to leave immediately after wounding him with a knife. However, he did not expect that he underestimated the ability of the King of Han. Not only was the entire army wiped out, but they also left a handle behind.
If he was really found out, wouldn't it be troublesome? Thinking of this, he felt that this move was really a bit stupid! But now that things have come to this, he can't do anything else. He can only take the opportunity to stay in the Hanwang Mansion and "recuperate".
Geng Shiming did not want to delay, so after making sure that Song Shi was not seriously injured, he took the officials and left first.
When Pei Zisu in the army once again received the news that Prince Chun's son had been assassinated, he had other plans. It happened that they had not cleaned up those dissidents in Hanzhou for many days, so they could use this as an excuse to give full play to their power.
In the next few days, Hanzhou City was in a state of panic.
Countless families were inspected, and then a trend of correction was set off. Those who had a clear conscience could naturally live a peaceful life, but those who were traced felt that a disaster was imminent.
The King of Han announced that there were spies from Southern Tang in the city.
After fighting for so many years, all the people hated Southern Tang so much that they cooperated very well. Song Shi never expected that the move he just wanted to leave behind would end up making his father's years of planning come to naught.
In the wooden house, Pei Zisu told Jiang Shiyuan everything that had happened during the past few days. Her belly was now nearly eight months pregnant and was so round that she needed a soft pillow to lean on when she sat.
"In order to stay here, he would do anything to get away with it. Only he can resort to such a stupid trick! If Prince Chun knew about his son's tactics, he would probably be so angry that he would jump up and down and curse!"
Since they are dealing with the dissident party, the news is of course strictly blocked, so people in Xijing City may not know about it at this time. When they know, he wants to see how Prince Chun will respond!
Jiang Shiyuan felt a little more comforted when she saw her husband still sitting in front of her after four months. However, she felt uncomfortable with Song Shiye's presence, so she touched her belly and said calmly.
"My husband, do you have any permanent solution to make Song Shi disappear?"
Pei Zisu raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then couldn't help but chuckle.
