517 Fight (2)
She was shocked and quickly loosened her grip. She only dared to hold it weakly, afraid that she would accidentally crush it.
Song Li sensed her actions and was amused. “Such a good girl. Stop kneeling. Get up quickly.”
She endured the itch in her throat and exerted more strength to pull her up, but she could not exert much strength.
Shen Yijia looked at her like a fragile porcelain doll now. How could she dare to let her tire herself out? She quickly stood up.
At the same time, she pulled Song Jingchen up.
Song Jingchen was speechless.
Only he knew that she was the one who lifted him up.
The weight in his heart was swept away by her actions. Song Jingchen was helpless and amused, but he didn’t show it on his face.
Song Li asked about Shangguan Han’s situation and was relieved to know that he was fine.
She sized up the couple in front of her. She thought of something and turned around with difficulty. She reached out and fumbled under the pillow.
Shen Yijia and the others did not understand what she wanted to do, but Su Yun understood at a glance. She quickly took out something and handed it over. “Miss, are you looking for this?”
It was wrapped in a plain handkerchief. When she opened it, she saw a pair of translucent jade bracelets.
Song Li was stunned and shook her head in self-mockery. “Look at my memory. I forgot that I told you to put it away.”
This pair of bracelets had always been with her. Later on, because she was so thin, the bracelets kept falling off, so she took them off and placed them by the pillow. From time to time, she would take them out to take a look.
When she fell asleep yesterday, one of the bracelets almost fell to the ground and broke. She simply asked Su Yun to put it away.
Song Li took the bracelet from Su Yun and pulled Shen Yijia’s hand to put one of them on.
This simple action had already exhausted most of her strength.
Seeing that the bracelet was firmly on Shen Yijia’s wrist, she heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Shen Yijia gently and said, “This was given to me by my mother, your grandmother, when I got married. It’s not anything expensive, but this is the only thing I have left. Please receive it.”
With that, she handed the other one to Song Jingchen and continued, “If there’s a chance, help me give it to Han’er. Tell him that I’m the one who gave it to his future wife.”
“Aunt…” These words that sounded like her last words shocked Song Jingchen.
Song Li waved his hand to stop him from continuing. She pursed his lips and smiled. “It’s not a waste of my life since I was able to see you again.”
Previously, when she heard that something had happened in Xunyang City, she was almost taken away by a serious illness. It was all because of the unwillingness in her heart that she could survive until now.
However, she was too tired and could not take it anymore!
She turned to look at Su Yun and said guiltily, “It’s just that your Aunt Su Yun has wasted most of her life because of me. If you have the chance, go and beg for some grace towards her and let her leave the palace.”
Although Song Jingchen didn’t say anything, with Song Li’s understanding of the emperor, it wasn’t difficult to guess that the emperor must have had a use for Song Jingchen since he let him return to the capital.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t worried, but she also knew that she couldn’t stop Song Jingchen.
When Su Yun heard her words, the tears that she had been hiding welled up again. She knelt down with a thud. “I won’t leave the palace. I’ll go wherever Miss goes.”
Song Li pointed at her helplessly. “You’ve been so stubborn since you were young.”
“Aunt gave me a greeting gift, but I haven’t served her tea yet.” Shen Yijia, who was originally as quiet as a chicken, suddenly spoke.
Song Jingchen’s heart tightened and he looked at Shen Yijia.
He knew what she wanted to do. For Shen Yijia’s safety, he should have stopped her, but now, he wanted to save his aunt, who had doted on him since he was young.
Song Jingchen opened his mouth a few times, but he realized that he couldn’t say a word.
Shen Yijia smiled at him comfortingly and turned to walk out. “One of you, bring me two cups of tea.”
She said it matter-of-factly. The eunuchs guarding the door looked at each other for a while before looking at Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li coughed lightly and waved his hand casually. “Go.”
Since Eunuch Li had spoken, an eunuch ran out and returned with a tray.
Shen Yijia did not let him enter the hall. She took it herself and handed the tray to Su Yun.
The tea was a little hot. In order to cool it down faster, Shen Yijia even opened the lid of the tea and fanned it with her hand.
