Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 774 Allow me to marry the woman I like! (3)
In fact, Gao Jinli's actions were still very fast. Yin Zhan entered the palace after noon, and before evening, he had already delivered the emperor's oral order to Song Chuxi himself.

After seeing him off, Song Chuxi didn't see much joy on his face.

Tong Wu originally thought that the dust would settle, so he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but seeing her serious expression, he couldn't help becoming a little more nervous, and tentatively said: "Miss, since the emperor wants to make a formal order Now that you have admitted your identity, there should be no more accidents in the meantime, right?"

"Yes! It's only for one night, what else can he do?" Song Chuxi nodded in agreement, her brows still furrowed.

Tong Wu said again: "His Royal Highness King Xuan entered the palace this afternoon, and he should have reported the result of the eldest son's case. Maybe he put pressure on the emperor again, so the emperor agreed so readily. This matter."

There is no doubt that Yin Zhan will continue to put pressure on the emperor.

"I don't have anything to do, you go and get ready, don't make any mistakes tomorrow morning." Song Chuxi didn't want to say anything, and waved her hand directly.

Tong Wu turned around and went, and she went directly to the study in the outer courtyard.

During this period of time, she was not in the army, but she had to worry about things over there. Wei Lin also knew that she must be worried, so there were always letters from the general telling her about various matters.

The courier was delayed due to snowfall in the south a few days ago, so the letters that had been accumulated several times have just been delivered together.

Song Chuxi closed the door to open and read all the letters, and wrote back letters to Tong Wu who needed approval. When he came out of the study, it was already dark.

"It's very late, Miss Si hasn't had dinner yet, I'll order someone to take you to the backyard later." Tong Wu suggested.

"En!" Song Chuxi didn't object, and walked back to the backyard directly.

Because she was not there, no girl came to take care of it in advance. When she stepped into the yard, the whole yard was dark, but it was extraordinarily quiet.

Song Chuxi paused, then pushed the door open and walked in, took out a fire pocket from his pocket, and lit the palace lantern by the door first.

When the candle flickered, the whole room was immersed in a warm glow.

Song Chuxi smiled slightly, turned around, but suddenly found a person standing tall in front of the window facing the back garden on the other side of the room.

The man was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, on which a flying dragon pattern embroidered with gold and silver thread shone brightly under the candlelight.

Yin Zhan doesn't know how to dress like this in private, just one look at his outfit, Song Chuxi already understood in his heart——

He should have come here directly after he came out of the palace in the afternoon.

Earlier, she said to let him avoid suspicion, don't come to her door casually again, in the past half month, he really didn't come again, Yin Li came occasionally, and Wei Heng picked him up.But at this moment, he was lucky, he jumped over the wall and came in without making a sound.

Song Chuxi frowned suspiciously and walked over, "Why are you here?"

As he approached him, he could smell the strong smell of alcohol emanating from his body.

Yin Zhan didn't respond to her words, Song Chuxi frowned even tighter, and walked two steps forward, only to find that there was still an empty wine jar on the window sill in front of him, and she looked sideways, his face On the expressionless face, there was a rare gloomy and serious expression.

Song Chuxi was startled suddenly, and tried to raise his hand to push his shoulder, "What's wrong with you?"

Yin Zhan didn't respond and didn't move, just when Song Chuxi was about to push him again, he suddenly raised his hand and held the fingers of her hand.

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, the temperature on his fingertips was astonishingly hot.

Song Chuxi was surprised again, "What happened to you? It was when you entered the palace today—what happened? It was—"

She instinctively thought of the emperor's oral order.

"It has nothing to do with those things." Yin Zhan shook his head, interrupted her, and then fell silent again.

Song Chuxi couldn't figure it out all the time, and didn't know what to say, his thoughts drifted away in confusion.

Then after a while, Yin Zhan just turned around.

He held her fingertips in his hand and did not let go. Song Chuxi's body was a little stiff, but he was in a bad mood, and she couldn't force her hand back, so she could only bite the bullet and keep silent.

Yin Zhan looked down at her hand, and after a while, the corners of his lips curled up, "Do you really want to drive me away now?"

He came so uninvited that Song Chuxi was extremely embarrassed.

But Song Chuxi couldn't say this at the moment.

She just raised her head, met his gaze, looked at him solemnly, and didn't speak.

Yin Zhan looked back at her face with lowered eyes. Facing such an expression on her face, he could only feel the deep powerlessness in his heart.

He smiled, and then let go of her hand and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I just had a quarrel with him in the palace today, and brought up old things. After thinking about it, it seems that there is really no one except you." It can be said that there is nowhere to go for a while, so I came here.”

The beginning and end of the rift between Yin Zhan and the emperor, he had mentioned it to her half-jokingly.

Song Chuxi immediately understood what was going on, "He forced you again?"

"Forcing me? What can he force me for?" Yin Zhan shook his head disapprovingly, and then turned to look at the night outside the window, "He is just worried, and always wants me to explain to him openly and honestly. Back then, I was I don't want him to be overwhelmed, so I can't explain too much to him, but now—"

As he spoke, he suddenly curled his lips into a sneering smile.

Then, he withdrew his gaze from the outside again, looked at Song Chuxi firmly, and said seriously: "You said that promise, do I still need to keep it?"

That promise was an agreement between Yin Zhan and the first emperor.

The relationship between father and son has always been deep, and Yin Zhan respected the first emperor very much.

Song Chuxi was terrified when she heard it, and swallowed her saliva dryly. She pulled the corner of her mouth stiffly, and said cautiously, "Yuanxiu, what's wrong with you? Don't you like being restrained like that? "

Yin Zhan had no intention of getting involved in the throne, but his frankness and openness earned the emperor repeated suspicion and persecution. In fact, Song Chuxi can empathize with how aggrieved and difficult this situation is.

She just didn't expect that Yin Zhan would say such words suddenly.

She looked at him, tense.

"I just feel unwilling every time I see you." Yin Zhan said, his expression was full of bitterness, "What's the use of the agreement between him and me? I just honored it to him unilaterally." It’s just a promise, but what he promised me—when I need it, he can’t really make the decision for me.”
