Seeing the two of them talking and laughing in the room, Cheng Ying felt her blood boil. She rushed over and pulled Song Qingshu off the bed. Then, she stood between the two of them and glared at him like a mother hen protecting her chicks, "What do you want?"
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that question?"
"That's right," Lu Wushuang also reacted at this time, "Brother Song is here to check on my injuries. Cousin, what are you doing?"
"Brother Song?" Cheng Ying was angry, "Yesterday, you …" When she was with Yang Guo, she often bickered with Guo Fu. She never had a good impression of that unruly and willful daughter.
Cheng Ying was speechless for a moment. She couldn't tell her what happened last night, could she? She was doing it for Lu Wushuang's own good, but now she was being blamed by her cousin. She couldn't tell her the truth, so she felt very depressed.
Lu Wushuang also couldn't understand why her cousin, who had always been polite to others, was acting like this today. However, she had something more important to worry about, so she didn't think too much about it, "Brother Song, yesterday you mentioned … mentioned that Sha Dan … is Brother Yang's … fiancée. What's going on?"
Even Cheng Ying, who was sulking, was instantly attracted by this and pricked up her ears to listen.
"It's like this, Brother Yang's grandfather is the Jin Kingdom's King Zhao, Wanyan Honglie. Back then, he was betrothed to the Pu Cha family's leader …" Song Qingshu finally told her about the Jin Kingdom.
"What, Sha Dan is from the Jin Kingdom!" After hearing this, Lu Wushuang couldn't hold back anymore and exclaimed. Cheng Ying was also shocked. As people of the Song Dynasty, they were taught from a young age that there was a blood feud with the Jin Kingdom. Now that they suddenly found out about Yang Guo's true identity, they couldn't accept it for a moment.
"It's just fate, Brother Yang can't choose for himself," Song Qingshu explained on behalf of Yang Guo, "But whether he's from the Song Dynasty or the Jin Kingdom, Brother Yang is still a man of indomitable spirit. Why do the two of you care so much?"
"That's right. No matter what, he's still my idiot." Lu Wushuang was more straightforward and was the first to recover.
Cheng Ying's heart was not inferior to Huang Rong's, and she thought about many things. After a long time, she asked, "With Miss Long's personality, even if Brother Yang is a golden man, she wouldn't mind. They love each other so much, why aren't they together?"
"I'm not too sure about the reason, but it's fate." Song Qingshu sighed, thinking that in the original novel, Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu had suffered enough, but in this world, it was even worse. Yang Guo was a Jin man, and Xiao Long Nu was Yue Fei's orphan. Yue Fei vowed to fight against the Jin all his life, and the Jin man hated Yue Fei to the core. Not only did they have a feud between them, but now they also had a family feud.
However, Song Qingshu sighed with emotion, and at the same time, he was secretly delighted. Otherwise, Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu's love was stronger than the Jin, and he was afraid that he really had no chance at all. But now, the two depended on their own ability.
Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang still wanted to continue to inquire about Yang Guo, but suddenly a maid ran to the door and said, "Prince Song, Master invites you to the study. He has something important to discuss with you."
Song Qingshu frowned slightly, and then asked with a smile, "Do you know what it is?"
The maid didn't expect him to be so polite. He was handsome and had a good attitude, so the maid had a good impression of him, "I don't know. I only know that Third Young Master is back, and it may have something to do with this."
"Well, lead the way, Miss." After Song Qingshu got up and said goodbye to Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang, he was led by the maid to the direction of the study. Since Lu Guanying was back, he must have brought back important news from Lin 'an.
Looking at his back as he left, Cheng Ying had a strange look on her face. She thought that if her brother-in-law came back a few hours earlier and happened to bump into Song Qingshu on her cousin's bed, would he really not be angry as her sister said?
After Song Qingshu arrived at the study, he found that Six Zhan, Six You, and Six Guanying were standing respectfully in the study, looking at the back of another person. That person's back was facing the door, and he was flipping through the precious ancient books on the bookshelf. As he flipped through, he sighed, "It is said that the books of the Six Families are richer than those of the Imperial Palace. I didn't believe it before, but I really admire it today."
"Prime Minister, you flatter me." Six Zhan responded respectfully. Beside him, Six You also followed his father to salute, but he had a hangover on his face. Obviously, he drank too much last night and was not fully sober yet.
Hearing the movement of Song Qingshu entering the door, several people in the room turned around one after another. The person with his back facing the door also turned around and looked at Song Qingshu with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Prince Song is still so handsome."
Song Qingshu said with a smile, "Isn't Prime Minister Han still as elegant as ever?" At the same time, he was secretly shocked. He did not expect that Han Xingzhou would come in person. Although the distance between Lin 'an and Shanyin was not far, it was not close either. Calculating the time, Han Xingzhou probably did not delay at all after seeing Lu Guanying and rushed through the night to come here so quickly.
After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Han Xingzhou suddenly looked at him with a faint smile, "Now the Golden Snake Camp and the Southern Song Dynasty have stationed hundreds of thousands of troops along the Yangtze River, and the war is about to start. I wonder what is the matter for young master to come here at this time?"
Song Qingshu said with a smile, "Sightseeing and visiting some old friends."
"Is that so?" Han Xingzhou suddenly changed the topic, "I think Prince Song is here to ask for peace."
Song Qingshu did not comment, but replied lightly, "Prime Minister Han rushed over from Lin 'an overnight, I am afraid that he is here to ask for peace."
Han Xingzhou was startled, realizing that he had acted too eagerly and had been seen through by the other party. But the situation in the court was changing rapidly and did not allow him to take his time, "Why does Prince Song say this?"
Song Qingshu smiled slightly, "Even if everyone in the Southern Song Dynasty wants to go to war with the Golden Snake Camp, Prime Minister Han is not one of them. The biggest enemy in Prime Minister Han's heart is the Jin Kingdom. He wants to wipe away the shame of Jingkang and subdue the country. For this, he has planned for decades. Now that he is about to succeed, how can he let the court be distracted by the Golden Snake Camp? "
After all, Song Qingshu came from the later generations, so he knew Han Xingzhou's ambition. In addition, he had learned from Zi Shan Dragon Queen that her husband, Han Qianye, was also a spy sent by Han Xingzhou to the Jin Kingdom twenty years ago, so he was sure of everything.
Having his thoughts seen through, Han Xingzhou could not help but be shocked and angry. But he had been in the officialdom for many years, so he quickly adjusted, "Fine, let's not beat around the bush. I don't want the court to go to war with the Golden Snake Camp, and young master obviously has the same idea. In that case, how about we stick to the agreement we made in Yangzhou?"
Song Qingshu raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Now I am afraid that Prime Minister Han is not the only one in charge of the Southern Song Dynasty, right?"
Han Xingzhou frowned, "Is young master worried about something?"
