Chapter 701. What on earth are you thinking?
Lou Yulan was frightened by his appearance, and the gentleness and smile on her face turned pale.
"Prince...but...what's wrong?"
Song Tingshan didn't bother to explain at this moment, but grabbed her and asked: "What did you just say! Have you been to the Seventh Prince's Mansion?"
Lou Yulan didn't understand and nodded uneasily: "Yes, I went to see the Seventh Prince's wife."
Seeing that Song Tingshan's face was getting uglier and uglier, Lou Yulan hurriedly explained: "But don't worry, I checked the things that my cousin asked me to pass on to the Seventh Prince's Consort, and the Seventh Prince's Consort didn't accept them."
"What did she ask you to pass on?" Song Tingshan continued to ask.
Even when meeting Xiao Ziqian, he had to be extremely cautious to avoid ruining his reputation.
But what happened was that his concubine actually found herself at the Seventh Prince's residence in broad daylight. If this were to get out, how would others view him?
I'm afraid that the reputation I've worked so hard to build up is going to be ruined again!
"A box of jewels and a letter, but the Seventh Prince's wife confiscated the jewels and only kept the letter."
At this point, Lou Yulan seemed to realize something and was afraid that it would ruin Song Tingshan's plan, so she told him everything in detail.
Song Tingshan's face turned pale: "Idiot! You went to see the Seventh Prince's wife with a box of jewels, what on earth were you thinking?"
How stupid must she be to do such a thing at this critical moment!
He is simply lowering his own status, as if Song Tingshan is begging for shelter?
Lou Yulan felt very aggrieved, her eyes full of tears: "My Lord, I am just worried about your health..."
Song Tingshan didn't listen to her explanation and continued patiently: "What did the letter say?"
Lou Yulan still didn't understand why he was so nervous. She tried hard to recall Shen Shuyi's letter.
"That... that letter didn't say much. It was a letter of apology and thanks. It said that she had offended the Seventh Prince's wife at the palace banquet before, and she felt very guilty. She also thanked the Seventh Prince for saving her life in the hunting ground..."
Song Tingshan frowned. Did Shen Shuyi bump into the Seventh Prince's wife at the palace banquet?
No, it's impossible.
Not to mention her personality, the Seventh Prince's wife is gentle and tolerant, and she is the easiest to talk to.
And the palace banquet was held so long ago. Could it be that Shen Shuyi wanted to take the opportunity to show goodwill because Xiao Heyu was demoted?
No, that's not right.
Wait, hunting ground?
When did Xiao Ziqian save Shen Shuyi in the hunting ground? He was there for the entire autumn hunt, and he had never heard of this incident!
Hunting ground…hunting ground…
Song Tingshan felt something was wrong. He thought about it for a long time and suddenly remembered that Xiao Heyu had hidden a lot of weapons in the hunting ground.
Song Tingshan's pupils constricted. Shen Shuyi was a vengeful person. Xiao Heyu and Concubine Rou had made things difficult for her. Now that Xiao Heyu was demoted, there was no guarantee that Shen Shuyi would not take advantage of the situation to retaliate.
Could it be that what she was hinting to Xiao Ziqian were the weapons hidden in the small hunting ground?
At this moment, Lou Yulan also remembered and said, "At that time, Shen Shuyi said that he was rescued by His Highness the Seventh Prince in a small hunting ground. I didn't understand what a small hunting ground was."
"It's true!" Song Tingshan's face turned pale.
"Sir, did Yulan do something wrong? But, my cousin promised to ask Mr. Liancheng to do it for you..."
Before Lou Yulan finished speaking, Wen Renzong hurried in: "Master, the Seventh Prince used Song Hua'an!"
Song Tingshan's face turned pale, and he pinched Lou Yulan's neck with his big hands: "You smartass! You've ruined my future!"
Song Tingshan was really very angry. His breathing was unstable and his chest was rising and falling violently.
He put in a lot of effort and finally waited for Xiao Heyu to be demoted, waiting for the opportunity to choose another wise master!
These days, he has been trying hard to restore his reputation and portray himself as a loyal and faithful minister.
But unfortunately, this idiot Lou Yulan blocked his retreat.
Lou Yulan looked at him in horror, almost unable to breathe. Looking at Song Tingshan's gloomy face, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Husband, I...I am really worried about your health. Did Yulan do something wrong?"
Song Tingshan was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Xiao Ziqian is a cautious and low-key person when it comes to employing people. Having employed Song Hua'an, he will never employ him again.
It's such a pity for his drawing of the mechanical crossbow, and even more of a pity for the good reputation he worked so hard to build!
"Husband...I am really worried about your health!"
Lou Yulan really didn’t understand. She just delivered a letter for Shen Shuyi. What was wrong with that?
Besides, isn’t Mr. Liancheng here to see your husband?
Why was he not only unhappy, but also treated her like this?
At this moment, Song Tingshan seemed a stranger to Lou Yulan, which made her feel even colder.
Song Tingshan pushed her away, staggered two steps, and finally managed to stand steady by holding onto the long table.
Wenren Zong stepped forward quickly and supported him: "How is it?"
Song Tingshan shook his head, looking lonely.
Lou Yulan was heartbroken, her face full of tears: "Husband..."
Song Tingshan looked at her coldly: "Do you know that you have ruined my plan?"
He no longer wanted to explain to Lou Yulan, but suddenly wondered why none of the women around him was as smart as Shen Shuyi.
Is Shen Jingyu smart?
Shen Jingyu is indeed smart, but she is too self-righteous!
Is Lou Yulan smart?
Lou Yulan is also smart, but her intelligence is limited to the inner house, and she has no insight into the court affairs!
Lou Yulan looked at him blankly: "Why?"
Song Tingshan was so angry that his heart was blocked. He knew he was out of control, but for so long, he had not accomplished anything he wanted to do and was restricted everywhere.
No matter how patient he was, it was difficult for him to remain calm.
Lou Yulan's eyes were filled with tears and she was extremely sad. She had spent most of her dowry to ask the wife of Duke Chengguo for help, and she had been humble and submissive every day, trying her best to please her.
But now, not only was she punished and beaten, but why did even the prince blame her?
"What should we do now? Who can we turn to?" Wenren Zong asked.
Song Tingshan fell on the stool and clenched his fists: "Now, it's not just a question of who we can turn to."
The question is who is willing to use him again!
Lou Yulan's departure was noticed by countless people in Beijing. If someone deliberately fanned the flames, it is conceivable that the matter would cause a big uproar in the city.
More importantly, the Seventh Prince would think that he was pretending to be noble and loyal, but was eager to betray his old master and expose the fact that Xiao Heyu had secretly stored weapons in order to put Xiao Heyu to death.
In this way, all my previous efforts would be in vain.
Once Xiao Heyu is punished for this, everyone will think that Song Tingshan has betrayed his old master and sold out his master for fame and fortune!
In this case, from the emperor to the princes and court officials, who would be willing to employ a disloyal, untrustworthy and ruthless person like him?
Wenren Zong frowned and asked tentatively, "What if we transport those weapons away and destroy them before anything happens?"
