Chapter 253 Complete Collapse
Chapter 253 Complete Collapse
This time it was Ye Xuanqi's turn to be puzzled: "Why do you ask that?"
Song Yunxi told Shen Zhikang what he said, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became: "I'm a little curious why Shen Zhikang is so sure that he can collect such a large amount of gold and silver in two months?"
If it weren't for Shen Zhikang's confident and resolute attitude, she might not have doubted it.
"Two months..."
Ye Xuan Sunqi also fell into deep thought. After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Two months from now, envoys from various countries will come to Jin'an to pay tribute, and it will also be the day when the princes of various fiefdoms return to the capital."
Song Yunxi suddenly understood: "So among those who will come to the capital in two months, there must be people who are related to Shen Zhikang."
It looks like the capital will be bustling again in two months.
In Prince Kang's mansion, Ye Xuanling was drunk every day, and no one could persuade him to stop.
What's worse is that he doesn't care about any business. After entering the palace to tell Concubine Tong about his condition, Concubine Tong, who always loves her son as her life, just said indifferently: "He is already grown up now, and I, as his mother, can't ask about everything."
Then he sent away those who entered the palace.
What is even more incomprehensible to the people in Prince Kang's mansion is that the Tong family has suddenly become estranged from Prince Kang, and has even begun to separate the Tong family's business from Prince Kang's.
Even the emperor reprimanded Prince Kang many times, not only suspending him from his duties, but also temporarily banning him from entering the palace.
No one knew what had happened, but everyone in Prince Kang's mansion was in danger.
The servant who had been following Ye Xuanling was at his wit's end and finally turned to Song Muxue for help.
In his opinion, if there is anyone in this world who can persuade King Kang to wake up, and if there is anyone whose words King Kang can listen to, that person must be Song Muxue.
Shen Zhikang was not at home for several days because of something he was busy with. Song Muxue finally found an opportunity to leave the house and go to Prince Kang's Mansion.
Ye Xuanqi and Ye Xuanke have been snatched away by Song Yunxi. Shen Zhikang's heart may not be won over because of her pregnancy. Ye Xuanrong is a useless person who only listens to Concubine Shen and has no opinion of his own. She only has Ye Xuanling left in the capital, and she absolutely cannot lose him to be snatched away by Song Yunxi.
The most important thing is that Ye Xuanling is her God of Wealth, so she must protect him.
Song Muxue was also shocked when she entered Prince Kang's Mansion. The Prince Kang's Mansion, which had always been full of vitality, had now become lifeless.
The beautiful peonies that used to bloom in the mansion every season were now uprooted.
Only the peony is the true beauty of the country, and she likes it the most.
So in order to let her see her favorite peonies anytime and anywhere, Ye Xuanling specially ordered people to plant a large area of peonies in the mansion, and spent a large sum of money to hire gardeners to think of many ways to make the peonies bloom in all seasons.
But now the peony that he cherished most had been uprooted, and Song Muxue had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Ah Cheng, where's Mudan?"
Ah Cheng was stunned, and then he remembered that not long ago, the prince got drunk and angrily ordered the servants in the mansion to uproot all the peonies.
Everyone in Prince Kang's mansion knew the significance of the peony flowers, but they were afraid that the prince would punish them after he sobered up, so no one dared to take action.
But no one expected that the prince would personally destroy the peony field.
The next day, when the prince regained consciousness, all the servants were trembling with fear, fearing that they would be punished for the destruction of the peony.
"My Lord, do you still remember what happened last night?"
Ah Cheng asked tentatively, but Ye Xuanling seemed to have no memory at all. He rubbed his head and asked back, "What should I remember?"
"It's... it's Peony..."
Ah Cheng reminded carefully, and Ye Xuanling's hands paused, and all his memories came back to him.
Just when Ah Cheng thought he was going to be punished, unexpectedly Ye Xuanling just said lightly: "It's ruined!"
Ah Cheng didn't know what happened between the prince and the second Miss Song, but based on his understanding of the prince, he knew that he was deeply in love with the second Miss Song, and the destruction of Mudan must have been due to the heartbreak and pain that the second Miss Song had to marry Master Shen as a concubine.
So he hurriedly explained to Song Muxue: "Second Miss, don't think too much. The prince did this because he was too sad. After all, it was a great blow to the prince that the second lady married Shen Shizi."
This made sense, and the uneasiness in Song Muxue's heart disappeared.
"Some things are beyond my control. After all, my sister..."
Song Muxue sighed sadly: "Forget it, I'd better explain it clearly to Brother Xuanling."
Ah Cheng's eyes also lit up with joy: "Yes, yes, as long as the Second Miss explains clearly to the Prince and helps the Prince to untie his knot, he will be able to get along well with the Second Miss in the future as before."
Ye Xuanling's room was full of wine bottles, and the smell of alcohol made Song Muxue almost vomit.
I couldn't help but frown: "How much did you drink?"
Ah Cheng was also a little embarrassed: "Since returning from the palace a few days ago, the prince has been drinking all day long, and no matter how we persuade him, he won't stop."
Song Muxue covered her nose and said, "Okay, I'll persuade him!"
After the smell of alcohol in the room had dissipated a little, Song Muxue walked in slowly and snatched the wine glass from Ye Xuanling's hand.
Ye Xuanling waved his hand without even turning his head: "Don't bother me!"
Song Muxue was unable to dodge and was almost pushed down by him. If Qiuyue hadn't been protecting her, she would have fallen down.
"Brother Xuanling, it's me!"
Hearing Song Muxue's voice suddenly, Ye Xuanling's drunken expression became more confused: "Muxue..."
At this moment, Ye Xuanling's eyes were as affectionate and focused as they had been in all these years.
This greatly satisfied Song Muxue's vanity, as if she was still Song Muxue, the most noble lady in the capital.
"It's me, Brother Xuanling, I'm here."
Song Muxue took away the wine jar in front of him: "Brother Xuanling, you can't drink anymore."
"She is already married to Ye Xuanrong, and they spend every day together in Linhua Palace, and she is pregnant with his child. Yet she is still pretending to be deeply in love with Shen Zhikang. It's really disgusting."
Just when he was happy that Song Muxue came to see him, he suddenly recalled the voice of Song Yunxi that he heard in the palace that day.
Although he was quite disappointed with Song Muxue, he absolutely did not believe that Song Muxue would do such a fickle thing.
It was not until he was drunk in the palace and was taken to the Imperial Hospital by Doctor Zheng to sober up that he heard him say that Song Muxue was pregnant.
Just as he was happy for her, he saw the pulse diagnosis case that Doctor Lu had secretly kept after drinking with Doctor Zheng.
Shen Zhikang has been unable to move due to poisoning.
It's inhumane, so how did Song Muxue get pregnant?
Could the child be Ye Xuanrong’s?
Ye Xuanling felt that his spiritual world had completely collapsed. He didn't even know what he had done that day. When he came to his senses, the Imperial Hospital had been smashed into a mess by him.
That day, the emperor had him tied to the Chongzheng Hall, and after a scolding, he was ordered to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors and not to leave the house or enter the palace.
