Fast Travel: Endangered Pup Rescue Project

Chapter 786 Postscript, Xiao Ling's World (Twenty-four)

Three days later, the eldest prince Song Luo, the second prince Shi Liuchuan, Zhou Yuqing and Feng Shao received a letter from Song Lingling. Knowing that Si Hengnian and others were about to reach the border, their eyes became excited.

Feng Shao snorted coldly: "This is a good opportunity to catch all those people with bad intentions."

Then he couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity for those soldiers. Even if there are many of them, Your Majesty will not let them off easily."

"Brother Shao, you really don't need to think so much. Throughout history, how many ordinary soldiers were dealt with along with the rebels? Now that the border is in ruins, it is time to use these people to make up for the past. Can we really leave the hard work to the civilians and other soldiers who fought desperately for the court?"

Feng Shao nodded upon hearing this: "Brother Yuqing, what you said makes sense. They are enemies now. I should not be merciful to my enemies."

"Now we just have to wait for Si Hengnian to fall into the trap. Feng Shao, let's continue practicing."

Looking at the warlike eldest prince, Feng Shao felt a little toothache.

Ever since the two princes came to the border, they have never stopped their special training. He had guessed that the two princes were very powerful, but he didn't expect them to be so strong.

He was happy that the two princes were generous in teaching him, but sadly he was simply no match for them and could not slack off for even a moment.

"The angle is wrong. If I were Si Hengnian, I could pierce your shoulder blade with my backhand."

"The two moves connect too slowly, exposing such a large back. Do you want to live?"

"What about the legs? Even though the moves of the hands continue, can the legs stop moving?"

"Yes, this ruthlessness is good."

After a battle, Feng Shao felt like he was about to collapse, but he became happier and happier as he fought, because he could feel his progress every day. Si Hengnian was coming soon, and he must win.

Although the eldest prince and the second prince are more powerful than him, as a general, he can't just hide behind and let the two princes take the lead, right?
As for Zhou Yuqing, let alone him. How could a weak military advisor go to the battlefield to kill the enemy personally?

Therefore, in order to make the soldiers at the border convinced of him, he must personally capture Si Hengnian. This should also be the purpose of the two princes' special training for him.

In the capital, Si Hengnian, who had not attended court for several days, finally caused a stir in the court. Everyone knew that Si Hengnian was dissatisfied with the status quo, but no one expected that he would directly flee from the capital with the princess and his subordinates. What did he want to do?
His Majesty was so furious that he issued a direct order to hunt down Si Hengnian. With no place to vent his anger, he also dealt with several officials who had close contacts with Si Hengnian. Finally, Si Hengnian's biological mother, Madam Qi, and half-sister Qi Jiejing were not spared and were all thrown into jail.

In prison, Qi Jiejing sneered at Madam Qi: "Why, didn't Si Hengnian inform you of his rebellion? Even if Si Hengnian doesn't care about you, what about Xu Huixin? Haven't you always treated her as your own daughter? Didn't she say she would take you with her? With Si Hengnian's love for her, if she could remember you, Si Hengnian would not leave it alone."

Madam Qi's expression changed again and again: "Shut up, Hengnian and Huixin must have their own difficulties."

"What hardship can there be? All those subordinates have been taken away, and you are the only one left? Stop deceiving yourself. You have been abandoned. In their hearts, you are nothing." "What are you proud of? No matter how powerful you are, you still can't escape and die like me?"

"You and I are still different." Qi Jiejing said with a sigh, "Besides, you are my biological mother in this life, so I will save you as a way of repaying your kindness in this life."

"Stop bragging. What can you do to get out?"

"Of course she has the ability." Song Xia stepped forward, holding clean clothes and food in her hands, followed by the third princess Shi Shuangzhi and the fourth princess Song Xinghe.

Song Xia looked at Qi Jiejing gently: "Lingling, are you suffering?"

"No, stepmother, why did you come in person?" Qi Jiejing's face was full of dependence, and her expression was much gentler and well-behaved, which was completely different from the tit-for-tat with Mrs. Qi.

"Stepmother?" Madam Qi asked sharply, "What do you call stepmother? When did you recognize her as your stepmother?"

"This is none of your business. Only your stepmother can save you."

Song Xia glanced at Mrs. Qi calmly. She really couldn't understand why someone could exchange their own children. Even if they hadn't been exchanged back, the fate of the two children had been changed by her. Shouldn't she love the children she exchanged with her well? How could she still ask Lingling to do this and that so confidently?
"Stepmother, if His Majesty knew that we were taken out like this, would he blame us?"

"He won't know." The third princess said confidently, "We will take care of everything. Don't worry. After Si Hengnian dies and all the evidence of rebellion is found, you will be pardoned. Just keep a low profile for the next few days. As for Madam Qi... after all, she is Si Hengnian's biological mother and she once lived in Prince Xun's mansion, so it's hard to say."

Qi Jiejing smiled and said, "Then I will live in the general's mansion recently. I will be with my stepmother every day, which is just what I want. As for my mother, there are many manors and uninhabited courtyards in the Qi Mansion. I can just find one and ask someone to look after her."

She felt that she was being very merciful. She was only restricting her biological mother's freedom, not not sending someone to take care of her. This was better than losing her life, right?
But Mrs. Qi felt that she had been greatly insulted. What made her even more unable to accept was that her son Si Hengnian defected from the capital, and it seemed that her daughter was behind it.

"What happened to Hengnian? He is your biological brother! Why did you plot against him? When did you start hanging out with them? Your brother discussed business with you before, and it was you who did it on purpose, right?"

"Brother? Do you treat me as your own daughter and he as his own sister? Don't play the emotional card with me, you are not worthy. As for Si Hengnian, if he has no ambition and does not take action, we can't count on him! It's a pity that he originally had a way to retreat to Wubei Lake, but he blocked it all a few days ago."

"You rebellious girl, I'm going to strangle you to death!"

Unfortunately, before Madam Qi could make a move, Song Xia grabbed her and said in a cold voice, "Remember, if you don't want Lingling as your daughter, there are many who do. To me, Lingling is a treasure and no one can bully her."

"Lingling? Is this the name you gave her?"

"Yes, and I have the same name as my stepmother. Outside, everyone calls me Song Lingling." Qi Jiejing said very proudly, which made the third and fourth princesses very envious. After all, they were princesses in this life and could not be as casual as Lingling.

Seeing Song Xia's doting on Qi Jiejing and Qi Jiejing's dependence on Song Xia, the warm look on their faces suddenly made Mrs. Qi speechless, and she looked deflated and depressed.
