Chapter 277: Not Going To Explain?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Han Chao quickly cast away the doubts in his mind and galloped after him.
Meanwhile, after sending off the Second Prince, Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que returned to their room.
Song Que went to the soft couch and sat down.
Qin Xiaoyao followed suit and sat down beside Song Que.
Then, she looked at Song Que and asked, “You’re not going to explain?”
Song Que glanced at his wife and knew that she had already noticed something.
“We, the Song family, are actually not natives of Mountain Spring Town,” he said after some thought.
Qin Xiaoyao thought for a while and nodded.
She knew that. Didn’t he say that he was from another town?
“Our family, or rather, the Song clan, used to be a distinguished clan in the capital,” Song Que continued.
Qin Xiaoyao, on the other hand, looked at Song Que intently, waiting for him to continue.
“The Song family’s reputation reached its peak in my grandfather’s generation. Our grandfather, Song Hong, was the previous Prime Minister.”
A look of astonishment finally swept over Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes.
However, it only lasted for a moment before the astonishment in her eyes disappeared.
Her husband was so outstanding. He indeed had an extraordinary background.
The reason for the Song family’s good genes was finally revealed.
Song Que saw Qin Xiaoyao’s reaction. When he saw that she accepted it so calmly, he thought of her personality and felt much more relaxed.
“Then Father took you out of the capital to seek refuge because of Grandfather?
“Did Grandfather offend someone, or did he commit a crime?”
That shouldn’t be the case. The Prime Minister was a leading scholar and the head of the officials. It was already good enough that his grandfather didn’t make things difficult for others. Who would dare to make things difficult for his grandfather?
Could it be… the Emperor?
Qin Xiaoyao finally couldn’t stay calm after some speculation popped into her mind.
If the Song family had really offended the Emperor, then there was really nothing they could do.
Song Que looked at Qin Xiaoyao and nodded.
“My grandfather was an outspoken person. He offended Empress Jia because he advised the Emperor to depose Empress Jia. Thereafter, he was persecuted by Empress Jia’s faction.”
“The entire Song clan was almost completely wiped out, other than my Father who brought us out of the capital in advance and we managed to escape with our lives.”
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes were slightly startled.
Empress Jia?
Then, she recalled some rumors she had heard.
In this dynasty, the current Emperor did have a very powerful Empress with the surname Jia.
Moreover, this person was very similar to a female Emperor in the annals of history in her previous life.
The only difference was that Empress Jia did not claim to be an Emperor.
Nonetheless, all the major matters in the Imperial Court were basically handled by Empress Jia.
If his grandfather had really antagonized the other party, it was not surprising that that party retaliated against his grandfather and family.
“Then the Second Prince and Empress Jia…” Qin Xiaoyao quickly asked.
Surely the Second Prince couldn’t be the son of Empress Jia, right?
If that were the case, then wouldn’t their family be asking for trouble?
“The Second Prince is the son of Concubine Chen who harbored a grudge against Empress Jia.” Knowing his wife’s worry, Song Que explained.
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flashed with a trace of curiosity.
Song Que then elaborated, “Before Empress Jia ascended to the position of Empress, her biggest competitor was Concubine Chen.
“Back then, the support for Concubine Chen to be Empress was the strongest. Grandfather is also standing on Concubine Chen’s side.
“Unfortunately, the Emperor’s heart belongs to Empress Jia. In addition, Empress Jia colluded with some court officials and framed Concubine Chen, causing Concubine Chen to be banished to the Cold Palace.”
Qin Xiaoyao’s heart skipped a beat.
This scenario was a little familiar.
“Then, how is Concubine Chen’s situation now?” she asked.
“She’s dead. There are rumors in the palace that she died at the hands of Empress Jia.
“The cause was that she accidentally met the Emperor. The Emperor couldn’t bear it and almost released Concubine Chen.”
Qin Xiaoyao’s heart trembled again.
What a coincidence…
“Then the Second Prince…” If Concubine Chen died at the hands of Empress Jia, then the Second Prince and Empress Jia could be considered irreconcilable archenemies.
Under such circumstances, would Empress Jia allow the Second Prince to ascend the throne?
“All these years, it was because of Empress Jia that the Second Prince distanced himself from the Imperial Court and was marginalized.
“In addition, when he left the capital and joined the army, it was the Second
Prince who asked for this transfer himself.”
Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
“Rather than staying and waiting for death, it’s indeed a good choice to leave.”
A look of approval flashed across Song Que’s eyes.
“The army gets involved in many battles. Over the years, Empress Jia and her faction have tried to make things difficult for the Second Prince, trying to make him die in an accident.
“It’s a pity that the Second Prince has always been able to turn misfortune into fortune. He’s been growing stronger and stronger, and has nurtured his own faction in the army.” At this point, a hint of respect flashed across Song Que’s eyes.
In all fairness, the Second Prince was a good master and a good Emperor.
In his previous life, if he had not been so extreme in his actions, perhaps the Second Prince would not have abandoned him…
Qin Xiaoyao gave Song Que a peculiar look.
“You… know the Second Prince so well?” he asked.
From what she could see, it didn’t look like they had just met.
Song Que’s expression froze for a moment.
Then, when he looked at Qin Xiaoyao, he knew that he had made another slip of the tongue again.
He struggled internally for quite a while, not knowing if he should tell Qin Xiaoyao the truth.
Qin Xiaoyao, on the other hand, kept staring at Song Que with an expression that said, “I’m waiting.”
She could tell that Song Que actually felt somewhat guilty.
After a long while, Song Que finally gave a sigh in the face of Qin Xiaoyao’s tireless persistence.
He stretched out his arms and pulled Qin Xiaoyao into his embrace.
“Promise you won’t get angry if I tell you?” he immediately asked.
Qin Xiaoyao was surprised momentarily.
“Why would I be angry?” she asked.
She only wanted to hear the secret, and the secret itself had nothing to do with her. Why would she be angry?
Looking at his silly wife who was staring at him with her big, innocent eyes, Song Que could not help but blame himself and despise himself.
His wife trusted him wholeheartedly, but he…
“You’ll probably be angry,” the man said guiltily. After all, he had lied to her.
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered.
Her gaze toward Song Que was finally tinged with a hint of hostility.
“Don’t tell me you and the Second Prince are…” she narrowed her eyes and said.
Hmph! He’d better not even think about it! He could only have her in this lifetime! His heart and eyes must only have her alone!
As for the other men or women, if he really dared to think about it, she would definitely lay her hands on those people even if she was reluctant to lay her hands on him!
The mountain bandit leader earlier was a living example!
At the thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
It had better not be like this, otherwise…
Song Que got a shock.
He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the anger in his wife’s eyes.
Knowing that he had caused his wife to think too much, he reached out and grabbed Qin Xiaoyao’s hand.
“What on earth are you thinking?” He tried to pacify her.
Qin Xiaoyao’s expression was still not pleasant.
“Alright. I swear. I, Song Que, only want this woman Qin Xiaoyao in this life. I’ll love her for life and never change,” Song Que said in a conciliatory tone.
Qin Xiaoyao’s expression finally became a little better when she saw Song Que’s actions.
Following that, her face suddenly turned icy.
“You will only want me alone, not ‘this woman’!” she emphasized.
Huangfu Wudi wasn’t a woman!
Song Que didn’t know whether to laugh or cry again.
He quickly swore again.
“Alright. Regardless of man or woman, I only want you. If I break my oath, let me be struck by lightning and be rendered impotent.”
Pfft! Qin Xiaoyao laughed in amusement instantly.
When she heard the last part of the oath, she couldn’t resist looking at a certain part of Song Que’s body..
