Moqi Ruo stood up and gazed towards the distant Imperial Palace. "During this period of time, Song Qingshu's life and death has already become the focus of all the various powers. Everyone is fighting over it, so we cannot let some people know that Song Qingshu is still alive at this critical moment, at least not during this period of time. Otherwise, it will ruin our great plans."
Wan Gui almost cried. He was already in such a miserable state, yet he could not take his revenge openly. There were a few moments when he could not help but tell the truth about what had happened tonight, but when he thought of Moqi Ruo's usual treacherous personality, he forcibly held back the impulse.
In Moqi Ruo's heart, only power was the most important, nothing else could be mentioned in the same breath. The impact of what had happened in Yangzhou this time was extremely great. The people in the imperial court, led by Han Xingzhou, had brought up an impeachment against Moqi Ruo. Those princesses of the Washing Clothes Brothel who had previously received favors from Song Qingshu were also causing a ruckus in the Inner Palace. Coupled with the Golden Snake Camp's unusual movements in the north, the surrounding countries had all sent envoys over to pressure the Southern Song Dynasty. Moqi Ruo's current situation was extremely bad.
However, Moqi Ruo's relationship with Zhao Gou had always been better. Not only did Li Kexiu attach herself to Zhao Gou with the land of Jianghuai, she had also sent people to escort her daughter to Lin 'an to offer her as a concubine. These were all solid gains, so Zhao Gou had tacitly approved of her previous actions. No matter how fierce the attacks of those political enemies were, Moqi Ruo remained unmoved.
Of course, all of this was built on the premise that Song QingShu was already dead. No matter how powerful the world-renowned Golden Snake King was, he was just a fleeting cloud after his death. Many people would not continue to fight for a dead person. But if Song QingShu was still alive, then the entire situation would change. Those political enemies would have enough reason to persevere, and some of the neutral parties would also waver. Moreover, Song QingShu himself was the most troublesome enemy. At that time, Moqi Ruo could not be more clear about whether Zhao Gou would still help her withstand the pressure.
Moqi Ruo had been in and out of the political scene for many years. When she heard the news that Song Qingshu was still alive, she quickly thought of a solution in her panic. As long as she suppressed this news for a while, when Li Kexiu's daughter officially entered the palace in two days, then what was done could not be undone. She would completely bind Zhao Gou to her. The completion of the marriage meant that Li Kexiu had completely submitted, and all of this originally belonged to Song Qingshu and the Golden Snake Camp. This way, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Golden Snake Camp would have an irreconcilable conflict. Especially that Miss Li from the Li family did not hesitate to sacrifice her daughter's reputation to save him. The two of them must have had an affair long ago. When Song Qingshu found out about all of this, how could he let it go?
Even if Song Qingshu weighed the pros and cons and was willing to let it go, how could the soldiers under him endure this? How could he convince the people in the future?
Song Qingshu, as a hero of a region, was already in a difficult position, let alone Zhao Gou, as the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
It was impossible for the Emperor to be wrong. Even if he was wrong, he would not admit it. When the time came, for the dignity of the royal family, even if Zhao Gou knew it was inappropriate, he would still brace himself, just like how he killed Yue Fei back then …
Looking at Wan Gui's dejected look, Moqi Ruo consoled him, "Don't worry, I will secretly send experts to hunt down Song Qingshu and avenge you."
Wan Gui smiled bitterly, thinking that Song Qingshu's martial arts were unparalleled. Without using the power of the government, how could a few experts be a match for him? However, he did not dare to say this out loud. He could only pretend to be touched and said, "Thank you, grandfather."
Song Qingshu brought Qi Fang and Indigo Phoenix to meet up with Zhou Zhiruo outside the Prime Minister's Residence. Zhou Zhiruo saw that there was an additional woman beside her husband and could not help but be stunned.
Song Qingshu quickly introduced the two women to each other. Indigo Phoenix smiled and said, "I have long heard that Sect Leader Emei Zhou defeated many heroes in the Shaolin Temple. You have really brought glory to us girls." As she spoke, her gaze fell on the baby in Zhou Zhiruo's arms. She was secretly shocked, "Song Qingshu and her have a child already? I have to tell Master about this when I return. "
Zhou Zhiruo had always been good at reading people's expressions. She noticed Indigo Phoenix's gaze and immediately understood what was going on. She returned the water spinach to Qi Fang and smiled as she replied, "I have long heard of the name of Sect Leader Lan of the Five Immortals Sect. I did not expect you to be such a charming beauty."
Indigo Phoenix then realized that the baby was Qi Fang's child. She could not help but secretly sigh in relief for Dongfang Muxue.
Looking at her daughter sleeping soundly, Qi Fang's tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks: "Water Spinach, it's all mother's fault that your ill-fated Uncle Water Spinach ended up in such a miserable state …"
Song Qingshu's face was also gloomy. "Di Yun, I will make Wan Gui beg for death to comfort your soul in heaven."
"What Wan Gui said just now might not be the truth," Indigo Phoenix suddenly said.
Song Qingshu and Qi Fang looked at her at the same time. Indigo Phoenix continued to say, "The Golden Rippling Flower is extremely poisonous. The body of the person who was poisoned is also poisonous. Even if you touch it accidentally, you will be poisoned. Who would dare to chop his body into pieces? Let alone let the dogs eat it. "
"Senior Brother is not dead yet?" Qi Fang wiped her tears and asked in surprise.
Indigo Phoenix shook her head. "From Wan Gui's reaction just now, Young Hero Di should be dead. However, his body might not be damaged yet."
Song Qingshu frowned and said in a deep voice, "Wait for me." As soon as he finished his sentence, he returned to the Wan Residence.
Indigo Phoenix could not help but exclaim, "Prince Song's Qing Gong now might not even be comparable to Master at his peak."
Zhou Zhiruo could not help but frown as she thought of the beautiful lady in the Forbidden City.
Not long after, Song Qingshu came out again. He was holding onto a man who was dressed like a guard. He said in a deep voice, "After they killed Di Yun, they abandoned him in the forest at the outskirts of the city. This man will lead us to him."
Song Qingshu did not look for Wan Gui this time. Although Wan Gui was bad to the core, he was still strong-willed. It would not be easy to find out the whereabouts of Di Yun's body from him. Moreover, Song Qingshu did not want to destroy Wan Gui so quickly. He could only destroy a person by giving him hope and making him despair. Therefore, he found another confidant of Wan Gui and performed the Soul Transfer Technique on him to find out the whereabouts of Di Yun. Just in case, it was better to capture him to lead the way.
Hearing the commotion in the Prime Minister's residence getting louder and louder, it was obvious that many experts and guards were rushing in this direction. Indigo Phoenix was impressed. Wan Gui's shrill scream had alerted the guards in the Prime Minister's residence. Now, the Prime Minister's residence was heavily guarded. Song Qingshu had brought a person back as though he had entered an uninhabited place.
With someone leading the way, the group soon found the location of Di Yun's body. Song Qingshu sighed faintly as he noticed that all the plants within three meters had withered and there were no snakes, insects, rats or ants.
Looking at the yellowed ground in front of her, Qi Fang seemed to feel something. She bit her lips and wanted to dig it up.
