After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Chapter 269 The overall situation is the most important thing

She was stunned for a moment. She had obviously been extra careful, so why did she hurt him?

"it is good."

She responded, then quickened her movements, quickly applied the medicine, and carefully bandaged the wound. This challenging care came to an end.

After applying the medicine, Cui Rong packed up the medicine box, secretly wondering whether he would leave.

However, to her surprise, Song Yanyi not only had no intention of leaving, but instead changed into loose pajamas, lay back on the bed peacefully, as if he was going to sleep.

"Didn't you say that taking some medicine would be enough?!"

Cui Rong was angry and anxious, feeling as if she was being fooled.

His tone was calm, as if everything was within his expectations: "I just said that I would not continue the previous topic, and I did not say that I would sleep somewhere else."

"you!"

She was speechless for a moment, angry but helpless.

In the end, she chose to remain silent, clenching her teeth and saying no more.

Knowing that arguing was fruitless, she simply pulled up the quilt, turned her back to the wall, and closed her eyes, trying to escape his presence.

Fortunately, Song Yanyi was a man of his word after all. He did not disturb her again. He lay alone on the outside of the bed and fell asleep, keeping a certain distance from her.

After the twists and turns of the night, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When her even breathing echoed in the silent night sky, he quietly moved to the inside of the bed and hugged her from behind.

This hug made his empty heart feel more fulfilled and satisfied than ever before. His chin gently stroked the top of her head, and he finally closed his heavy eyelids and fell asleep.

The next day, at dawn, Song Yanyi once again set out on the road to the palace gate leading to the core of power.

At this moment, the matter of King Jin was imminent, so he naturally did not dare to slack off for a moment.

Just after Su Yan and he finished paying homage to the emperor, an old man with a hunched body and a kind face, the chief eunuch Liu Gonggong, hurriedly chased out, with a hint of urgency in his voice: "Master Xie, please stay."

Song Yanyi stopped and asked politely, "What do you want, Eunuch Liu?"

Eunuch Liu bowed and saluted, his face full of smiles: "Recently, envoys from many countries have come to Beijing to offer gifts. The emperor is grateful for your hard work and great contributions, and has specially granted you the right to choose a few tributes as a reward."

Song Yanyi actually didn't have much interest in these mundane things, but on second thought, she thought that these rare items from foreign countries might have something she would like.

She has always preferred those novel and strange little gadgets, and he has already kept this preference in mind.

Eunuch Liu led them to a side hall filled with various tributes. A dazzling array of treasures came into view, piled up into small hills.

Eunuch Liu respectfully handed over a detailed list and asked Song Yanyi to review it.

He browsed through them carefully and finally selected two sets of colorful jewelry inlaid with dazzling gems, a crystal clear and colorful glass lamp, and two sets of white jade tea sets that were as smooth as jade and pure in color.

Eunuch Liu looked at the choices on the list, and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "Master Xie, these are all things women love. Could it be that they are gifts prepared for your sweetheart?"

Su Yan waved the folding fan in his hand and joked, "Eunuch Liu, you don't know that our young Master Xie is preparing for an important event in his life."

"Oh my! This is such great news! To be able to become the wife of Master Xie is a blessing that one has earned through several lifetimes!"

Eunuch Liu's face was filled with genuine joy.

Song Yanyi's eyes inadvertently swept across the list and suddenly stopped at a certain point: "Fuchun wine? What is this?"

Eunuch Liu replied mysteriously: "This wine is a specialty of Loulan. It is sweet and not astringent, smooth in the mouth, and has the reputation of increasing interest and promoting harmony between couples."

Song Yanyi raised his eyebrows slightly, showing interest in this unique wine: "It's quite interesting, please bring me a bottle."

"Order!"

Eunuch Liu went to get the wine without saying a word, leaving Song Yanyi standing there with a look of anticipation in his eyes, as if he was already imagining the warmth and sweetness brought by the mysterious wine.

Su Yan was surprised, and could not help but move closer, almost nose to nose, and whispered in his ear. His voice was as thin as a mosquito, but it was full of teasing: "How come you are exhausted at such a young age?"

After saying this, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Song Yanyi's eyes flashed fiercely, and Su Yan immediately understood. He waved his hands hurriedly, trying to save the joke that he accidentally blurted out: "Just pretend I didn't mention it. Haha, it's just a joke."

"Xiao Xie, sir, please take a look."

Eunuch Liu forced a warm smile through his wrinkled face and respectfully presented a bottle of Fuchun wine with both hands. His gesture seemed as if what he was offering was not just a bottle of fine wine, but a rare treasure.

Song Yanyi gently took the bottle of wine, his fingers inadvertently stroking the smooth neck of the bottle, his movements elegant and calm.

He slowly removed the wax seal, tilted it slightly, closed his eyes and sniffed. An aroma of honey instantly filled his nostrils, sweet and mellow, like the aroma of first-ripened fruits. It looked ordinary on the outside, but it was actually full of wonders.

Seeing Song Yanyi's satisfied look, Eunuch Liu quickly said in a flattering manner, "I will order someone to deliver all the tributes that Your Excellency has carefully selected to Xie's residence. I guarantee that they will be intact."

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu."

Song Yanyi smiled calmly, his voice was gentle and elegant, yet there was a majesty that could not be ignored.

Afterwards, the two of them left the magnificent palace side by side and walked into the long street of the imperial city where the autumn wind was blowing.

"Have you asked your father about the marriage?"

Su Yan broke the silence, speaking with curiosity.

"mentioned."

Song Yanyi's tone was calm, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Hey, you're really brave. Didn't your father scold you?"

Su Yan raised his eyebrows with an amused look on his face.

"The trial of the Prince of Jin's treason has entered an intensive stage. The family building is in turmoil. He naturally knows how to weigh the pros and cons. I will definitely get what I want."

Song Yanyi's face was calm, but his eyes showed that he was confident.

He knew his father's thoughts very well. The family's honor and survival were of paramount importance to him, and no one could consider the overall situation as well as he did.

He knew very well that the so-called period of consideration was just a way for his father to save himself. A direct and forceful demand might damage the reputation of the head of the family.

But as long as Prince Jin has no hope of turning the tables, his father will agree to his marriage.

Su Yan shook his head and a cynical smile appeared on his lips: "Your action will probably cause quite a stir in the Xie family. The capital will have another story of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman. I am looking forward to this lively and wonderful show."

Song Yanyi glanced sideways, a sly look flashing in his eyes: "You should worry about your own business first."
