Chapter 51
Chapter 51
Time flies into June, and the relationship between Song Sijin and Duan Lingyao is still in a strange state of lukewarmness.
The day of being buried alive in the original book is not far away. Song Sijin can't get involved between the Song family and the princelings. Even if he can guarantee that he will not participate in the murder of Duan Lingyao, it will not be able to prevent the Song family from betraying.
It is unknown what Duan Lingyao will think at that time.
Fortunately, my mother should have been picked up by Chu Yunxi, and Song Sijin can rest in peace even if she dies.
Song Sijin didn't want to die, but it was very possible, so he thought at least not to wrong himself before he died. However, due to his nature, he was doomed not to make too much resistance, so he just used his own way to alienate Duan Lingyao.
But Song Sijin didn't know that the most indispensable thing in the world is unpredictability, the more you want to solve it satisfactorily, the harder it is to solve it satisfactorily, and the more you don't think about mistakes, the easier it is to make mistakes.
Duan Lingyao told Song Sijin that day that he would take him to the prince's residence.
"Our noble highness, the crown prince, said that he would hold a banquet to apologize for framing my young master earlier, and he also invited brother Jin to go." Duan Lingyao narrowed his eyes like a fox, "the story of brother Jin wanting to elope with an adulterer is widely spread. .”
It is said that some of his subordinates accidentally implicated Song Sijin. Although he is only a small character, His Royal Highness, who loves the people like a son, will not ignore it.
Of course the crown prince did not admit that he instigated the matter. No matter who asked him, he would not be able to explain clearly, but the charge of ineffectiveness cannot be escaped no matter what. He was angry with Duan Lingyao for a while, but at least he could save his reputation.
Originally, Duan Lingyao didn't want to bring Song Sijin to this Hongmen banquet, but the group of people deliberately provoked and tested him, so they could see Song Sijin's true position in their hearts, so Duan Lingyao could only take Song Sijin there.
After Song Sijin listened, he felt that it was time to finish.
He really wanted to be at least eighteen thousand miles away from the princelings, but in the end he couldn't make a decision at all.
"I don't want to go." Song Sijin was thinking, whether it was because of this banquet that the prince noticed the Song family and himself.
Duan Lingyao didn't know what he was thinking, and thought that Song Sijin simply hated himself, except when there was no other way, Song Sijin was always unwilling to get too close to Duan Lingyao.
"But I have already agreed." Duan Lingyao hugged Song Sijin's waist from behind, and put his face on his back, looking very intimate, "Or brother Jin has figured it out and just wants to stay at home obediently and be a master Pets?"
Song Sijin: "No!"
Duan Lingyao laughed triumphantly after seeing Song Sijin's loud noise, "Then come with me. You always hide from people, but you are more eye-catching."
is that so?Song Sijin is self-aware of his own head, whenever someone explains something to him, he can't help but feel that it makes sense, and this time is no exception.
The prince specifically called him to go, if he didn't go, it would be easier to attract attention - although Song Sijin was not afraid of death now, but he didn't have the idea of dying actively, who wouldn't want to be alive.
So after struggling for a while, Song Sijin still agreed: "Okay, I'll go."
But... Song Sijin tried to pull away Duan Lingyao's hand holding him, but he didn't pull, and he tried to get out again, but also failed, and was hugged even tighter after struggling.
Duan Lingyao narrowed his eyes: "I thought brother Jin would get used to it a long time ago, but it was all hypocrisy before."
How dare he bring it up, Song Sijin's voice was stiff: "It was because I was afraid of you, and I had no choice."
People are always forced to do many things against their will.
"As a last resort?" Duan Lingyao exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow! It seems that brother Jin is not afraid of others now, yes, brother Jin is not even afraid of death! But I advise you to get used to it as soon as possible, after all, as long as you don't die for a day, you will die You will be mine all day—what to do, Brother Jin won’t go on a hunger strike again, right?”
Song Sijin: "..."
Duan Lingyao lingered and put his chin on Song Sijin's shoulder, and his rose-like lips moved around his ears, seductive and terrifying like snakes and scorpions: "I'm really scared, there is no way, if brother Jin dares to be a fool They can only kill all the people you care about and ask them to be buried with you, anyway, I am this kind of person in your eyes."
Song Sijin almost pinched his palm.
Seeing that his face was getting uglier, Duan Lingyao suddenly snorted and said jokingly: "Okay, what are you doing so nervous? It's just a joke. Brother Jin, I don't want much anymore. You won't give it to me." Sincerely, it's all right if you don't smile at me or talk to me, but you can't leave me—never."
……
On the day of the banquet, Song Sijin was put on a beautiful dress.
He didn't want to get too close to Duan Lingyao, but Duan Lingyao forcibly held his arm and refused to let go, so when the prince saw them, he saw a smile and a nervous resistance.
Prince Qin Youshan was the same as described in the original works that Song Sijin knew. He was a tall and handsome man with a bit of sternness in his brows, but the aura of a superior person on his body weakened the sternness and made his appearance even more majestic.
Yan Xuehui stood beside Qin Youshan and said with a smile: "The two of you are finally willing to come to the Prince's Mansion. Everyone can't wait. If the little prince doesn't come again, the dishes on the table will be completely cold."
Even in the enemy's territory, Duan Lingyao did not hide his arrogance: "It seems that the housekeeper of His Royal Highness's house is a little incompetent, and he can't even consider the unexpected situation when receiving guests."
Qin Youshan twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, but Yan Xuehui didn't change his smile and still politely invited them in.
Seeing Duan Lingyao and Song Sijin walking awkwardly inside, Qin Youshan and Yan Xuehui exchanged glances: Song Sijin really hates Duan Lingyao.
But Qin Youshan didn't know that the nervous resistance this time was not all due to Duan Lingyao, but also to him.
Song Sijin was silently hugged by Duan Lingyao, although the sticky people around him seemed more like the one who was attached to others, in fact Song Sijin was the obedient pet.
No need to talk, no need to express your opinion, no need to communicate with others.
He is Duan Lingyao's trophy, a vase to show off, and a toy that he must seize if he wants it - everyone thinks so, so he understands Song Sijin's desire to escape from resistance.
But this time, something is different.
I don't know if it was because Song Sijin repeatedly contradicted him before. Duan Lingyao was afraid that he would not cooperate and that he would hook up with Yan Xuehui again, so he didn't tell Song Sijin anything like before, but set out I made an agreement with him before - if Song Sijin doesn't want to attract attention, then he will be a mute and a vase.
"Of course, if brother Jin has other ideas, he can't be stopped." Duan Lingyao hugged his shoulders, and the two sat opposite each other as if they were negotiating, "The consequences that will arise at that time must be borne by brother Jin himself."
The threat was palpable, and Song Sijin had no doubt that most of the so-called consequences would be decided by Duan Lingyao.
In fact, he is willing to cooperate, but really hates being threatened.
Why do everyone like to threaten him, especially Duan Lingyao, who can speak the truth, but they don't.In the past, Song Sijin had no choice but to endure, but now he really doesn't want to be threatened anymore.
Feeling coerced into being powerless is really, really annoying.
Song Sijin lowered his eyes slightly, and there was a quiet atmosphere around him. Even though the carriage was bumping, it made his clothes and hair tremble together: "Don't threaten me, young master, you are really too annoying. People are disgusting. If you do this again, I... I won't go."
He doesn't care about the consequences or not. At worst, he will be noticed. Anyway, his mother has been rescued. Even if Yan Xue wants him to be the internal assistant, he has no bargaining chips. He just refuses to agree.
Duan Lingyao straightened his back, his eyes widened, but soon he realized that he really had nothing to do with Song Sijin now.In the final analysis, he was still afraid that he would turn back into that walking dead look.
But it's impossible to tell him to succumb first, so he doesn't want to bow his head to those who hate him, and he doesn't want Song Sijin to have the opportunity to laugh at him, ridicule him, and pity him...
Duan Lingyao coughed dryly to hide his guilty conscience, and slapped him back: "What kind of threat, I'm just reminding you, don't treat a gentleman with a villain's heart."
Song Sijin: "..."
In short, what he wants Song Sijin to do is very simple, as long as he resists like he has always shown, but he is not allowed to give Duan Lingyao face, and he is not allowed to be as arrogant as at home.
Song Sijin felt that he was very good at wronging people, and he was not arrogant, but if there was an argument, he would definitely not be able to win against Duan Lingyao, so he just shut his mouth and didn't say anything.
Back to the present, in the Prince's Mansion.
With a frivolous smile, Duan Lingyao twitched his fingertips on Song Sijin's body. He didn't look at Song Sijin, as if he wasn't paying attention to him at all, and just greeted people like that.
Song Sijin was a little nervous, and subconsciously hid behind Duan Lingyao.
Duan Lingyao was about to hold him, but Qin Youshan followed up to apologize to Duan Lingyao in a polite and blame-like manner.
"Duan Shizi, some time ago, the Japanese palace was not strict, which almost caused you to be wronged. Fortunately, the people below have already reflected on themselves and realized their mistakes. Today, you can give me a face and shake hands with everyone."
Duan Lingyao is indeed rebellious and a jerk, and he will never let go of the opportunity to save face, but he also knows when to retreat.
"His Royal Highness is so polite, in fact, this prince has always been very generous..."
The crown prince wanted to pull Duan Lingyao over and let others to toast him one by one. Song Sijin didn't want to be surrounded by everyone, so he backed away silently.
Suddenly someone grabbed Song Sijin's sleeve, Song Sijin turned his head and met Yan Xuehui's smiling eyes: "Mr. Song, you don't seem to like drinking, why don't you go to the back and I'll ask someone to serve you some tea and snacks. Sit down and wait slowly for the young master."
Duan Lingyao is not a good person, but Yan Xuehui is not simple either.
When reading novels, Song Sijin liked the role of Yan Xuehui very much. He is the protagonist who bears blood and deep feud. He is brave, resourceful and thoughtful.But when he became a stone sacrificed on his way to pursue righteousness, Song Sijin didn't like it so much.
He was going to refuse immediately.
But Yan Xuehui leaned into his ear and whispered a word, Song Sijin turned pale instantly, and followed Yan Xuehui to the depths of the prince's mansion involuntarily.
Walking to a remote small courtyard, Yan Xue pushed Song Sijin back, and he stood outside the courtyard and said meaningfully: "Reunion in a foreign land, family reunion, Mr. Song should be happier."
But Song Sijin really couldn't be happy.
He looked at Master Song who appeared in front of him, as if he saw a devil. At first, he couldn't turn his head at all, and only had one thought: he will appear here, and he came to Yaojing, doesn't it mean——
Master Song took a step forward and hugged Song Sijin with tears in his eyes, like every father in the world who cares for his children: "Good boy, you have suffered! But don't be afraid, your eldest brother is now the number one scholar, and your father will also take care of his family. Everyone brought Yaojing, the prince knew your situation was very sympathetic, and specially thought of a way to save you..."
"When did you come to Yaojing?"
Song Sijin, who was standing like a piece of wood, broke out violently, and pushed the pretending Master Song away. He didn't want to hear anything else, he just wanted to know about his mother's news: "You have arrived in Yaojing, what about my mother?!"
Mr. Song, who had never been disobeyed by Song Sijin, frowned suddenly: "What are you doing so excitedly? My father had already planned to resign and come to Yaojing. It just so happened that your elder brother was promising and won the first prize, so why did you bring the whole family here together?" ? As for your mother, don't worry."
Song Sijin looked at him in despair: "My mother is in Yaojing..."
Master Song's chubby face tried to put on a pleasant expression, but because of too much effort, it turned out to be as weird and false as a Maitreya Buddha carved by an inexperienced craftsman.
"Okay, I know you miss your mother, so you have to leave the wolf den of the Duke's Mansion, right? Si Jin, Dad knows that you have resentment, but Dad didn't know that the little Duke was so unkind before. Hmph, he Take the person who took you away, and don't care about anything else. Dad wrote so many letters to the Duke's Mansion, but he didn't reply to a single letter. It's hateful, he despises the Yue family so much, Dad will never trust you to him! It's just Si Jin, some things are not that simple, if you want to get out of the sea of suffering, you have to work hard."
Master Song stepped forward and held Song Sijin's shoulders, word by word, declaring that Song Sijin was getting closer and closer to the death penalty: "If you want to leave the Duke's Mansion, you have to let Duan Lingyao fall down first. Here is a letter, After you take it back, put it in Duan Lingyao's study on the morning of the [-]th, and if you have any difficulties, ask Da Zhuang to contact Weifu. Don't worry about the rest, His Highness and Lord Yan will arrange it."
The chirping of cicadas in summer became more and more intense, making people's ears buzzing. Even though it was such a warm day, Song Sijin was cold all over.
"Si Jin, why don't you speak?" Master Song approached him more and more, as if he was about to kneel him to the ground, "Are you scared?"
How could Song Sijin not be afraid, he couldn't help asking Master Song a question: "What if Duan Lingyao finds out?"
Master Song pondered for a moment: "This... Don't worry, once you put the letter away, His Highness will act immediately, there is no chance for him to find out."
Song Sijin was silent for a moment: "What will happen to me after this is done?"
Yan Xuehui approached leisurely, and hugged Song Sijin's shoulders, like a close friend: "To tell the truth, this letter is enough to make my little father-in-law doomed. Don't worry about it after it's done. Express your feelings and ask His Majesty to give you justice - you are just a poor man who was forced by Duan Lingyao. What happened in the Duke's Mansion will not affect you and the Song family. Not only will you be free then, Prince Your Highness will also reward you with a hundred taels of gold, so that you and your mother can enjoy endless prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life, what does Young Master Song think?"
Song Sijin felt uncomfortable.
In the original book, Yan Xuehui and Qin Youshan's scheme was similar to what Song Sijin was asked to do now. They put a letter in Duan Lingyao's study and bribed others to hide a dragon robe in the third prince's mansion.Afterwards, someone will report that the third prince is wearing a dragon robe in private. When His Majesty sends someone to search, not only the dragon robe will be found, but also the secret letter of the third prince and Duan Lingyao's disrespect in private. Once such ironclad evidence is made, It will be very difficult for the two of them to stand up again.
And his eldest brother, the top scholar of the new department, Song Siyu, has a high reputation among the young students. He is ready to make good friends, and when things are done, he will lead the new department and the young students to fight against the third prince and the young master. By the way, help the prince to clean up.
It was precisely because of such a vicious scheme that Duan Lingyao was so angry that he buried him alive.
The original book did not mention how Yan Xuehui and Qin Youshan would deal with the Song family son after the scheme succeeded, but everyone knows that only the dead can keep secrets.
Song Sijin's relationship with the Song family is not very good. He will neither have the so-called loyalty, nor will he become the prince's right-hand man like Song Siyu. After completing this task, he will be completely useless.
And Yan Xuehui is a person who is very kind to his own people but extremely cruel to outsiders.
He has many advantages, such as keeping his word, but only for those who don't get in his way.He also has a compassionate heart and treats the weak with kindness and compassion, but this also only works on those who will not hinder him.
After the matter is done, Yan Xuehui will treat Fan Wumei who knows nothing well, but he will definitely not let Song Sijin go.
Song Sijin felt sad, he slightly raised his head to look at Yan Xuehui, and asked, "What if I don't believe it?"
