Chapter 486 Promotion
Song Ruize dismounted first, looked up at the plaque in front of him, noticed something and turned his head, just in time to meet Qin Huiyin's gaze.
"Sir Song." Lady Minghua got off the carriage. "This journey is all thanks to you and your men. Minghua should express our gratitude. What would you like to eat? Minghua will treat you."
"County Lady, I've been away from the capital for too long. The Military Headquarters still has many matters to attend to, so I'm afraid I haven't had time to eat. Now that we've arrived in the capital, I'm asking my men to stay behind to protect you until I can send you back to the Princess's residence. I have to leave first."
"Sir Song, there's no need to rush!" said the maidservant next to Lady Minghua. "Do you dare to refuse the Lady's grace?"
"I'll take my leave first." Song Ruize bowed and rode away on his horse.
"Song..." Lady Minghua watched Song Ruize's back disappear, her eyes full of loss.
"County Lady, this Mr. Song is really ungrateful."
"If it weren't for Lord Song, this county lady would never have come back. He is my benefactor, you are not allowed to say that about him."
"This slave knows that I was wrong."
Princess Minghua thought about what had happened along the way, and her eyes became firm: "Let's go back to the Princess's Mansion now."
"Is the county lady not going to eat?"
"I originally wanted to have dinner with Master Song as a token of my gratitude. Now that he's gone, what is this county lady still doing here?"
The county lord's motorcade quickly left the entrance of the Food City.
What she didn't know was that the figure who didn't even look back didn't leave the food city, but went in through the back door of the food city.
"Yinyin..." Song Ruize pushed open the door of the study.
When Qin Huiyin saw him, her eyes were full of surprise: "Didn't you leave?"
"How could I leave without even saying hello when you're here?" Song Ruize stroked her hair. "You don't look right. Did something happen?"
"Why are you going back to the Bingmasi? The position of commander of the East City Bingmasi has been taken away by someone else." Qin Huiyin said, "That person also beat up Brother Qingnan and Brother Jinyuan. They are still recovering from their injuries!"
"what happened?"
Zhilan and Sujin retreated.
As they were closing the door, Qin Huiyin reminded them, "Bring some food and drinks over."
After the two maids left, Qin Huiyin told Song Ruize what had happened recently in the Dongcheng Bingmasi.
"He's the prince of the Earl of Anping. He took your place right away and said he'd make you his deputy commander when you came back."
"He came to the Food City to cause trouble?" Song Ruize vigilantly grasped the key point. "He told you so many things, is he deliberately pestering you?"
Qin Huiyin didn't want to tell Song Ruize about these things to upset him, she just wanted to tell him about him. However, Song Ruize was too smart, he could analyze it himself without her saying anything.
"Is there anything else?" Song Ruize placed his hand on the back of her hand and patted it gently, his eyes full of comfort. "I'm back, tell me everything."
"Princess Yuanying lost her virginity, and my eldest brother went to the palace to ask the Emperor to revoke the imperial decree granting her marriage. The Emperor was furious, and he was thrown into the Dali Temple prison. Prince Zhong wanted to force him to surrender, and even sent his men to torture him. Although we paid the jailer to take care of my eldest brother, the jailer was powerless to stop him from being tortured. I don't know what to do."
"I'll take care of it." Song Ruize said, "Just wait for news, and leave the rest to me."
"You've even lost your position as commander of the East City Military Division. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future. Even if you were reinstated, you wouldn't be able to influence the emperor's heart."
"I have a solution, trust me. Now just take care of yourself. You never wear such heavy makeup. Today you look completely different with such thick makeup. I can tell at a glance that something is wrong."
"I really can't hide anything from you."
Zhilan and Sujin knocked on the door, and after getting permission, they came in with food and drinks.
Song Ruize asked Qin Huiyin to have something to eat with him.
Qin Huiyin felt particularly guilty when she saw the fatigue in Song Ruize's brow.
"According to the original schedule, you should have returned two days later. Now you're two days earlier. Didn't you catch up?"
"I've always felt a little uneasy, worried about the people and things in the capital. I urged County Lady Minghua to finish her business in advance, and I hurried all the way back."
Song Ruize ate something and left.
"Miss, Master Song is back, and we finally have a backbone," Zhilan said. "We don't need to contact the King of Wei anymore, right? If we do, they'll ask for exorbitant prices, and we'll lose at least half of our assets."
"Let's pause for a moment and see if my brother can help. If not, we can follow the King of Wei's path."
Qin Huiyin felt relieved after meeting Song Ruize and left the food city to return to the Tang residence. She knew that Li Taohua was also in a state of panic, so she had to accompany her and tell her the news about Song Ruize.
"The Song family kid is back?" Li Taohua patted her chest. "This brat, I still have to rely on him at the critical moment!"
"Mom, my brother is in a lot of trouble too, so I might not be able to help."
"I know you don't want to put too much pressure on him, and you're afraid that I will blame him if he doesn't rescue your elder brother. Am I such an unreasonable person?" Li Taohua said, poking her forehead.
As the favorite disciple of the director of the Imperial Hospital, Tang Yixiao found an excuse to go to the Dali Temple and meet Tang Yichen.
When they returned to the Tang family, Tang Yi laughed and told Tang Yichen the latest news: "That bastard Prince Zhong sent people to beat me again today. What he meant was that as long as I didn't surrender, he would torture me every day until I was willing to marry that vicious princess. I really want to poison Prince Zhong and make him disappear from this world."
"Have you applied medicine to him?" Tang Dafu asked tremblingly.
"Yes. But if it happens again, big brother may not be able to bear it." Tang Yi said with red eyes, "We have to rescue him quickly."
"I'll go to the Song residence later and inform Brother Song. I'll go find King Wei and rescue my eldest brother as soon as possible!" Qin Huiyin said.
Chen Yu came in from outside and said to Qin Huiyin: "Second Miss, Master Song has just been promoted and is now the commander-in-chief of the military division."
Qin Huiyin was stunned: "Promoted?"
"Yes." Chen Yu said, "Master Song's subordinates told me to tell you that the eldest son's matter will have a result tomorrow at the latest. You don't have to worry. He won't let the people from Prince Zhong's Mansion torture him again."
"How did this guy get promoted so quickly?" Li Taohua asked, "What did he do?"
"Could it be related to his escorting Lady Minghua out of the capital?" Tang Yi said with a smile, "Lady Minghua is the daughter of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess and the current emperor are born of the same mother. He was instrumental in escorting Lady Minghua, and the eldest princess only needed to say a few good words about him. He will definitely have a chance for promotion."
