I just want to be a princess, no, you want to be a queen

Chapter 242 Sister and brother meet

Because she said that the flowers in the capital were withering too quickly, the emperor ordered all the chrysanthemums in the palace to be moved to Yunsheng Hall. This single chrysanthemum was secretly handed to her by Hui'er through the crack of the door when she was imprisoned.

Just to let her smell the flowers and feel happier.

Song Moli reached out and touched the golden chrysanthemums, tears streaming down her face.

"Young lady!" Jiaoli returned and reported, "The servants at Shoukang Palace said the Queen Mother received a letter from Duke Qin and is furious. It seems it's about Princess Ningyuan. They say she's lost her chastity, deceived the emperor, and even said she's already been married."

"She's already been married?" Song Moli laughed heartily. "Qin Miao is such a fool. No wonder the Qin family has fallen to such a state, only fit to associate with merchants."

"Girl, what do you mean?" Jiaoli didn't understand.

Song Moli said, "If Prince Ningyuan succeeds, she will at least be a noble concubine, which will ensure her Qin family's prosperity for life. But now, before the great event is accomplished, she is already quarreling in the harem, destroying the benefits of the Chengyang Marquisate. By then, if Prince Ningyuan is completely defeated, what use will her title of Princess Ningyuan be? She will just be a prisoner."

Jiao Li asked, "Are you saying that Concubine Ningyuan wants to harm Princess Ningyuan?"

"How can I let this opportunity go to waste?" Song Moli said with a smile, "Go find someone to inform my second brother. We must make this a big deal."

Hearing the words "this palace" (this palace) made Jiaoli's heart ache. She couldn't bear to remind the girl that she couldn't say them anymore, so she advised, "My girl, you've finally escaped from the cold palace. You should take your time. The most important thing is to regain His Majesty's favor. Don't take risks that will only backfire."

"How do you gain favor? Do you learn from those lowly dancers and rely on singing, dancing, and beauty?" Song Moli laughed and said, "Jiaoli, remember, beauty is just a pastime for men when they're bored. When something happens, the first thing a man will discard is his most useless beauty."

At this point, Song Moli's eyes gleamed with daggers: "No one knows the emperor better than me. This is about Prince Ningyuan. The emperor will definitely want to get rid of him. This is also the best opportunity for me to turn things around."

"Yes!" Jiaoli obeyed and left. Not long after, he returned with news from Song Wei, "Miss, the Second Young Master said he hopes you can calm down and live peacefully."

"What happened to my second brother?" Song Moli was helpless and could only disguise himself as Jiaoli and sneak out of the palace. Fortunately, there were eunuchs from the Song Mansion in the palace, so nothing went wrong along the way.

In the firewood room of the Song Mansion, Song Wei saw his elder sister dressed as a eunuch and said anxiously, "Eldest sister, my father told us before he died that as long as His Majesty is here, the world will belong to Hui'er sooner or later. If we act too hastily, it will only backfire and bring ruin to the Song family."

Song Moli sneered, "Awei, in your eyes, he is the supreme emperor, but in my eyes, he is just a suspicious and cowardly coward. If we don't suppress Chu Mingzheng while he is still strong, it will be too late when he is old and weak.

"Now, the border war has begun again. If we accidentally let Prince Ningyuan regain control of the military power, the consequences will be disastrous."

Hearing his elder sister mention military power, Song Wei angrily said, "Eldest sister, you've already killed our father, who else do you want to kill?"

Song Moli stumbled back: "What did you say? I killed my father?"

"Eldest sister, I told you that Zishen was just confused for a moment. He will figure it out one day and help us. Why are you so anxious to kill Uncle Lu?"

Song Moli stared at her brother in astonishment, then collapsed to the ground and laughed crazily. She had always believed that Sun Jisheng had been looking for an opportunity to kill Lu Shao in order to curry favor with her and the Duke of Song's mansion, but she had never expected her brother to be completely unaware of the situation.

"Avi, is this why you plead guilty?"

Song Wei looked away: "Eldest sister, I used to be your younger brother. I would obey you in everything you asked me to do. But now, the entire Duke of Song's Mansion is on my shoulders. I can't take the entire Duke of Song's Mansion with you at risk."

"Avi, we've all been deceived." Song Moli raised his head, his face frighteningly pale. "I was wondering why His Majesty never came to see me. It turns out he's too embarrassed to do that."

"Eldest sister..." Song Wei knelt on one knee, his face full of doubt: "You mean... Your Majesty?"

Song Moli's voice trembled, "If I hadn't come to you today, I wouldn't even know how I died. His Majesty can't tolerate me anymore. He just needs an opportunity now."

"Eldest sister, don't scare me!" Song Wei was also confused: "Your Majesty just released my sister."

"He's afraid that Hui'er will hate him after I die." Song Moli grabbed his brother's arms and calmed himself down: "I want to save myself, Awei, you must help my elder sister."

"Sister..."

"Awei!" Song Moli interrupted his brother, angrily saying, "Even if you're not doing this for my elder sister, aren't you doing this for the Song family? The emperor is guilty. Even if my elder sister dies, with no evidence, he won't reuse the Song family."

"No!" Song Wei had originally held onto a glimmer of hope, but now, he trusted his elder sister's judgment. "What do you think we should do?"

"Since he wants me to take the blame for him, then I will confirm the accusation." Song Moli thought for a moment and asked, "Has the Sun family's mansion changed hands at the imperial court?"

After being convicted, the entire Sun family was executed, the women were made official prostitutes, and all their property was confiscated by the court.

Song Wei shook his head.

"Okay then!" Concubine Song continued, "I'll write a letter to Sun Jisheng, and you can help me make it look old and put it in the Sun residence. It would be best if there was a witness."

Song Wei thought about it and had a plan in mind, but the opportunity was really hard to find.

Song Moli began to talk about Lu Mingyang being married, and advised, "Awei, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Only when it concerns King Ningyuan will His Majesty remember me. Only then can I get through this crisis safely."

Song Wei was stunned for half a minute, then asked, "Are you sure Yang'er won't die?"

……

Ningyuan Palace

Lu Mingyang got up early in the morning and dressed, then saw in the bronze mirror the only man allowed into her bedroom. Chu Mingzheng quietly walked up behind her, took the jade comb from Ruying's hand, and clumsily combed her hair.

Now when Lu Mingyang saw him, he always felt anxious: "Your Highness, why are you here?"

Chu Mingzheng asked with a smile: "Can't I do your makeup for you?"

Lu Mingyang stuttered: "I, I mean, are you okay today?"

She didn't get up early today. Usually, he would have left by this time.

Chu Mingzheng said: "Being with you is the most important thing."

Lu Mingyang stopped talking and let him play with her hair. Before long, a frizzy snake bun appeared on Lu Mingyang's head.

Lu Mingyang smiled and slapped his hand. While playing, he temporarily forgot his worries and fears.

"Your Highness, let me do it!" Ruying took the jade comb and re-tied her hair.

Chu Mingzheng sat down next to Lu Mingyang and gently rubbed her palm: "Yangyang, I remember you had a silver plum blossom hairpin, why aren't you wearing it?"

He wanted to hear her tell him in person about the other man.
