Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 247 Don’t Move, I Want to Cry

After a while, with Song Yuan's message, everyone finally arrived.

Situ Jing returned to the mansion in a hurry and greeted Wei Da with Song Yuan.

As for Ye Xuan, because of his special identity, he has been hiding in the room.

For such a grand occasion, Song Yuan specially brought out the fine wine he brewed himself.

Such a thing is like a trump card to Wei Da in front of him. The moment he opened the bottle and smelled the aroma of wine, Wei Da's eyes widened!

"Hahaha, good wine, good wine!"

Wei Da was not polite at all. He immediately threw down his sleeves and drank several large bowls in a row.

At the end of the drink, he smiled heartily and praised Song Yuan repeatedly.

"By the way, brother, when I leave, you must give me a few jars of this... Well, you know I don't have many hobbies, but this wine of yours is just to my taste!"

"Look at what you said, Brother Wei. It's just a few jars of wine. Do you think I would care about it?" Faced with such a request, Song Yuan nodded with a smile.

But halfway through his words, he suddenly changed the subject: "I can give you this wine, but Brother Wei must agree to one condition of mine!"

"Brother, I really don't like what you said! It's just a few jars of wine, and you still want to..."

Wei Da was originally a generous person. Seeing Song Yuan making excuses, he glared at him and was about to get angry.

Song Yuan naturally understood his attitude, and after a moment, he quickly explained, "Brother Wei, don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to take advantage of this opportunity to threaten you. I'm just worried about your safety!"

"The borderlands are constantly at war, and we both know this. We never know when a barbarian raid will come. If you cause any more trouble because of drinking, I'm afraid the Duke of Wei won't forgive you then, given his character!"

"So my request is very simple. It simply means that you must not drink alcohol in the barracks! And even in your free time, you must not drink excessively. You must stay sober!"

As a time traveler, Song Yuan's memories contain many ups and downs of the times.

In the past history, there were many cases of people making mistakes due to drunkenness, whether in the army or in the court.

Wei Da is shouldering a heavy responsibility now, and he cannot be as idle as he is at home!

If you continue to be as lazy as before, any big mistakes you make will cause endless troubles.

This is exactly what Song Yuan is most worried about!

“Hahaha, brother, I appreciate your kindness, but don’t worry, who is your brother?”

Please explain this, Wei Da's previously stern face finally relaxed, and he put his arm around Song Yuan's shoulders and spoke.

"Don't worry. When I came here, my father gave me so many warnings. You know his character. I'm not afraid of anything in my life except him!"

"When the old man came here, he said that if anything went wrong because of drinking, he would skin me alive! Other people's words might not work, but he said I would definitely remember it clearly! Don't worry!"

At the end, Wei Da took another big gulp with a bit of sadness in his heart.

Being born in that kind of family, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a sorrow.

Being treated like an electronic pet by the Duke of Wei every day, if it were an ordinary person, I’m afraid they might not be able to endure it until now!

Seeing that Wei Da was taking this opportunity to relax, Song Yuan simply let him do whatever he wanted. Anyway, Wei Da was not on duty yet.

Since he's new here, just treat it as a welcome for him!

But as he drank, the alcohol gradually took his toll.

Compared with ordinary wines, the wine brewed by Song Yuan was like a flood and a beast. Even though Wei Da had a good alcohol tolerance, he couldn't handle it in the end.

His face turned red and he started talking nonsense.

"My dear brother, there is something I must tell you. You must not blame the emperor for some things..."

Hearing such emotion, Song Yuan raised his eyebrows and subconsciously asked: "Look at what you said, brother. I have nothing to do, how could I blame my father?"

"There are some things you don't understand. Your Majesty is also forced to do so. My father has told me that I must not tell you, but I always think that I must tell you about things like this between brothers! Otherwise, I will be uneasy!"

Wei Da grabbed Song Yuan's hand and began to give him earnest advice.

"You've been on the frontier for so long, you should be aware of the current situation. Compared to the barbarians, we are indeed inferior. They are like soldiers in every man. Those children have lived on horseback since childhood. If needed, all we need to do is raise a call, and we can gather hundreds of thousands of soldiers!"

"Such pressure must not be placed on a single battle, otherwise the chances of our Great Qin winning are very slim."

"Only by luring the enemy deep into our territory and depleting their combat power can we lay the foundation for the subsequent war!"

"Since we are trying to lure the enemy, we must need bait. This person..."

"Anyway, don't worry, brother. This time, I'm determined not to let you get hurt. I had to work so hard to get this position. If anything unexpected happens, I will be here immediately!"

"As long as I'm still breathing, I won't let anyone touch a hair on your head. Remember this in your heart, and don't worry!"

Because he was drunk, Wei Da's tone was a little unclear when he talked about this topic.

But it still attracted everyone's attention!

After hearing Wei Da's confirmation that Song Yuan was acting as bait, both Situ Jing and Fatty Zhao didn't dare to breathe for a moment. They just turned around and looked at Song Yuan with a serious look.

The news about Wei Da came from Duke Wei. If we were to say who in the entire Qin Dynasty knew His Majesty best, it would definitely be Duke Wei!

Whatever comes out of his mouth will definitely come true.

In other words, Song Yuan being used as a pawn was part of His Majesty's plan!

Considering Song Yuan's mood, the two of them couldn't help but look a little more worried, fearing that such news would affect Song Yuan's mentality.

But no one expected that Song Yuan's expression was calm, and there was even a smile on his face.

As if he hadn't heard what he had just said, he just smiled and responded from Duke Wei: "Brother Wei, I see you're drunk, but don't worry, I appreciate your kindness. Also, thank Duke Wei for me when you get back! As for whether to blame me or not... Don't worry, as a subject, I won't blame anyone!"

"With your words, I..."

Wei Da nodded repeatedly, but halfway through his words, the alcohol started to take effect, and suddenly his neck tilted and he fell onto the table.

Seeing this scene, Song Yuan waved his hand and ordered his men to carry Wei Da into the room.

After Wei Da left, only a few people were left at the table.

Facing everyone's gaze, Song Yuan remained remarkably calm. He asked Fatty Zhao as usual, "What are you all looking at me for? Is there something on my face?"

"Your Highness, you..."

Fatty Zhao hesitated to speak, but finally asked with gritted teeth.

"Your Highness, are you sure you're okay now?"

"I have a shitty thing going on. Stop worrying about me!"

Song Yuan had already made some analysis about this matter in his mind. Ever since he first learned of this possibility, Song Yuan had been prepared.

Now that Wei Da has confirmed this matter, it only makes the original speculation come true.

If Song Yuan heard it for the first time today, he might have shown some surprise.

However, as he had been prepared in advance, Song Yuan was still able to maintain his original mentality and was not affected at all.

But when others see this state, they still feel that something is wrong.

Even though she had received a positive response from Song Yuan, Situ Jing still looked concerned: "Are you sure you're okay? I heard from my mother that if a person keeps something in his heart, he will get sick!"

"If you feel uncomfortable, you might as well tell us. There are so many of us here and we can comfort you!"

"Yes, yes, you are right, I am really uncomfortable now!"

Feeling such concern, Song Yuan deliberately skipped this topic.

"I'm so hungry I can't stand it any longer. I need to have a good meal now!"

As he said this, he directly dealt with the banquet in front of him and finished it in no time.

At the same time, I felt a little helpless.

Why is it that no one believes me when I tell the truth?

If this was the effect every time I fooled people, I would have been a father by now, right?

After the banquet, Song Yuan returned to his room as usual.

But he didn't expect that just after he sat down for a moment, Situ Jing actually caught up with him!

"My dear aunt, what wind is blowing today? It can actually bring you here?"

Seeing this scene, Song Yuan raised his eyebrows. Ever since he had a relationship with Jinlian, Situ Jing had been angry and moved in with Ye Xuan.

Now, his sudden return is really strange in Song Yuan's eyes.

"Didn't I come back to see you? If you're really feeling down, you might as well have a good cry!"

"Anyway, there are only two of us here, and I won't laugh at you!"

"You know my personality, right? Even if I feel sad, I can't cry!" Song Yuan responded with a bitter face.

Situ Jing was immediately curious: "What's going on with you? There's no one in the world who can't cry!"

"Come here and I'll explain it to you!"

Song Yuan patted the seat next to him. Situ Jing was concerned at the moment and walked forward without any doubt.

However, he didn't expect that the moment he sat down, Song Yuan suddenly hugged Situ Jing in his arms.

Feeling the other person's hot body temperature, Situ Jing was stunned for a moment before finally reacting.

Damn it, I was clearly fooled by this brat!

"Let me go, you bastard, let me go now!"

Although Song Yuan had been trained by Jinlian for several days, he had not yet achieved full success. Even though his physical condition had improved, it was still far inferior to Situ Jing's!

The other party only struggled twice, and Song Yuan was obviously overwhelmed. He felt that the woman in front of him was about to break free.

At the critical moment, how could Song Yuan miss such an opportunity? He just turned his eyes and immediately thought of a solution.

Without saying a word, he suddenly buried his head in Situ Jing's shoulder, leaned over to her ear, and whispered softly with a bit of grievance.

"Just let me hold you and cry for a while. I just need your warmth. Are you going to reject me?"

"I……"

Hearing this tone, Situ Jing gave up struggling instantly.

After a limited time, in order to cooperate with Song Yuan, he hugged the other party in his arms and even patted Song Yuan's back gently.

Seeing that his evil plan had succeeded, Song Yuan was ready to take another step forward, but he added fuel to the fire and spoke in a tone that was extremely aggrieved.

"I'm already so miserable, are you going to reject me?"

"We are obviously husband and wife, and even hugging you has become a luxury now. Why is it so difficult for me?"

“Who…who said that?”

Sensing Song Yuan's disappointment, Situ Jing quickly spoke to comfort him: "If you want to hug me, just do it. How can I refuse you for such a small thing? But at least you can be more open and honest. You always scare people!"

"Besides, haven't you noticed the changes in me over the past two days? I've already taken great care of you and Jinlian. What else do you want me to do?"

Situ Jing had been trying hard to control her temper these past two days. It was all Ye Xuan's idea.

To be honest, she really couldn't bear it any longer. After all, asking a woman with a strong personality to pretend to be gentle was probably unbearable for anyone.

"I didn't say you were bad, I just said that I wanted to hug you and cry!" Song Yuan said softly with his head down.

When Situ Jing heard this, she immediately became suspicious: "Didn't you say you were going to cry? I've been sitting here for a long time without moving, but why haven't you cried out loud?"

"Who doesn't need to prepare their tears? Besides, once I hold you in my arms, I suddenly feel much better. Just let me hold you quietly for a while, maybe you'll recover in a while!"

"Why don't you go find your golden lotus?" Hearing Song Yuan's response, Situ Jing immediately realized that this kid had played a trick on her again!

She rolled her eyes in annoyance and spoke deliberately to Song Yuan.

"I……"

Song Yuan was about to respond subconsciously, but he didn't expect Situ Jing to suddenly exert force and break free from Song Yuan's arms.

Turning around, Situ Jing saw Song Yuan laughing secretly and became furious instantly.

"Well, you little bastard, you're really playing tricks on me!"

"Just wait for me, I'm going to make you pay for it today!"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that his tracks had been exposed, Song Yuan simply stopped pretending and sat up directly, enduring Situ Jing's pink fists and hugged him tightly in his arms.

Then he lowered his head and kissed the other person's red lips...
