Seeing him leave, Li Yuanzhi couldn't help but laugh. She thought, "We love each other. Why does it look like we're having an affair?"
Noticing that someone had come in, Li Yuanzhi pulled the quilt over herself and pretended to be asleep as planned.
"Ah!" The palace maids screamed in the room. Obviously, those people had seen what was on the bed. The quilt was messy, and the air was filled with a smell that made people blush. Li Yuanzhi was lying in the quilt, and her hair was messy, and her cheeks were red. Even an idiot would know what had happened.
The crowd was in an uproar. Promiscuity in the palace was a big scandal! Those who didn't know what had happened turned pale and stood there trembling. If something like this happened to their master, they, as servants, would probably be killed as well. The older ones reacted better. They quietly went out to inform their concubines.
Song Qingshu hid in the dark and observed for a while. Seeing that Li Yuanzhi was not in danger, he left with peace of mind.
He had noticed that someone was using Li Yuanzhi to deal with the Jia Clan, and he quickly realized that this was a great opportunity. He had been worrying about how to leave Lin 'an to help Jiu and Qingqing without exposing his identity. What happened in the palace provided an opportunity.
All the evidence showed that Lady Jia had asked her nephew to take Li Yuanzhi's virginity out of jealousy. Li Yuanzhi was a concubine, a strong competitor for the future empress. She had Prime Minister Moqi Go and Li Kexiu, who had 100,000 troops behind her. Her identity was very sensitive.
No matter how high Lady Jia's position was in the palace, and no matter how powerful Jia Shidao was, they couldn't suppress this. Especially Jia Baoyu, who had slept with the future wife of the emperor. Even if Zhao Gou was a eunuch, he still couldn't tolerate being cuckolded. Even if Zhao Gou was willing to tolerate it, how could Moqi Go and Li Kexiu tolerate it?
Promiscuity in the harem was a crime that could lead to the death of nine generations! Jia Shidao was so powerful that he wouldn't really be punished. But as the leader, Jia Baoyu, couldn't be saved.
However, judging from what he had seen and heard in the Jia's Mansion, Jia Baoyu was indeed like what was described in the Dream of the Red Chamber. He was the lifeblood of the Jia's Mansion, and Jia Shidao couldn't just watch his son die. Considering the unclear relationship between Jia Baoyu and the Isle of Chivalry, it was most likely that the people of the Isle of Chivalry would take Jia Baoyu away and wait until everything was over.
As long as he could get out of Lin 'an City, there were many ways for him to slip away from the Isle of Heroes. As for Li Yuanzhi, because of her special identity, in order to ensure that she would not be sentenced to death by a white silk like the other concubines, the most serious consequence was that she would be placed in the Cold Palace and temporarily suffer a little grievance. When Song Qingshu was free, he would rescue her.
Not only did he enter the palace as a bridegroom, but he also enjoyed the gentleness of a young lady. He also solved the problem that had been troubling him for the past two days. Song Qingshu was in a great mood. After leaving the palace, he didn't rush back to the Jia's Mansion. Instead, he rushed to the House of Red Sleeves. Zhou Zhiruo was still waiting there, so he had to inform her in advance.
With Song Qingshu's current level of cultivation, he didn't have to hide himself even if he was in a busy city. The people around him would only see a blur in front of their eyes. When they looked carefully, he had already disappeared a few streets away. There was no way they could follow him.
When he arrived at the appointed room, he found that Indigo Phoenix was there too. She was chatting happily with Zhou Zhiruo. When the two ladies saw him, they couldn't help but stand up to welcome him.
Song Qingshu first nodded to Zhou Zhiruo, then he looked at Indigo Phoenix and asked, "Phoenix, is everything ready?"
Indigo Phoenix smiled and said, "Don't worry. With the elders of the Five Immortals Sect escorting him, I guarantee that your little lover won't be harmed. On the other hand, aren't you afraid that Miss Zhou will be jealous by asking about other women? "
Actually, it would be more appropriate to call Zhou Zhiruo 'Madam'. After all, she was already married. However, Indigo Phoenix was thinking about Dongfang Muxue, so she subconsciously didn't want to call her that.
Song QingShu smiled and said, "Phoenix 'er, I really admire your shrewish little mouth."
Indigo Phoenix giggled and said, "How do you know that my mouth is shrewish? Have you tasted it before?"
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and looked at the two of them bickering. She knew Indigo Phoenix's style of doing things, so she wouldn't get angry over such a small matter.
Song Qingshu was speechless when he heard that. He knew that if he continued to argue with her, who knew what else she would say? He quickly changed the topic and said, "In these two days, Jia Shidao will arrange for Jia Baoyu to leave the city. When the time comes, you guys will kidnap him, and I will secretly help you. It's like a cicada escaping its shell. Jia Shidao has a lot of enemies during this period of time, so he will only suspect his political enemies and not think of anything else."
Zhou Zhiruo nodded and said, "That is indeed a good idea, but how can you be sure that Jia Shidao will arrange for Jia Baoyu to leave the city in these two days?"
Song QingShu smiled embarrassedly and calmly explained what happened just now. Of course, some of the details were naturally omitted.
The two ladies were confused when they heard that. Indigo Phoenix smiled mischievously and said, "No wonder you had the fragrance of another woman on you when you came in. I thought you accidentally touched a lady in the building when you entered the House of Red Sleeves. I was wondering which lady had such good taste, so it's a concubine from the palace."
On the contrary, it was Zhou Zhiruo who helped him out of the predicament. "Miss Li sacrificed her reputation to save you. Naturally, she has great affection for you. Fortunately, you were the one who encountered her this time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Looking at it now, it can be considered a good thing."
Indigo Phoenix looked at her in surprise. She didn't expect her to be so generous. She couldn't help but think, "She must be very jealous right now." Even though Indigo Phoenix was on Dongfang Muxue's side, she had to admit that Zhou Zhiruo was becoming more and more graceful and calm.
"My good Zhiruo …" Song Qingshu pulled Zhou Zhiruo into his arms and kissed her hard. He didn't care that Indigo Phoenix was beside him.
Indigo Phoenix blushed a little but she didn't feel disgusted. As a lady from the Miao family, she liked such a direct way of expressing her love. Instead, she looked down on the Han people's bashful attitude when it came to relationships.
Zhou Zhiruo exclaimed and pushed him away immediately. She scolded him jokingly, "Stay away from me, you still have the smell of another woman on you."
Song Qingshu knew that Zhou Zhiruo was a clean freak. Every time he touched another woman, he was not allowed to touch her until she was clean. Song Qingshu smiled and let go of her. At the same time, he thought to himself, "If I touch her after touching Zhao Min one day, I wonder how she will react."
Song Qingshu's heart beat faster when he thought of that. He quickly calmed himself down and stopped thinking about those messy things.
After they chatted for a while, Song Qingshu returned to the Jia residence. After all, such a big incident had happened. All the forces should have reacted by now.
When he stepped into the residence, he bumped into Xiren. "Aiyo, my Second Master Bao, where have you been? Everyone in the residence is looking for you."
"Why are you looking for me?" Song QingShu understood, but he asked without batting an eyelid.
"Not long ago, the Master sent a message back, asking everyone in the mansion to keep a close eye on you and forbid you from meeting anyone. The whole mansion is looking for you, so I'm going to look for you on the street." Xiren took his hand and said as they walked.
"What happened?" Song Qingshu asked tentatively. He wanted to know how much the people in the Jia residence knew.
Xiren shook her head with a puzzled expression. "I don't know either, but Master has never spoken in such a harsh tone. Did you do something to make Master angry again?"
"Maybe." Song Qingshu answered ambiguously. It seemed that only a few people knew what had happened in the palace, and the news hadn't spread yet.
As they walked, they suddenly ran into a servant. When he saw Song Qingshu, he let out a sigh of relief. "Second Master Bao, I finally found you!"
Seeing his panicked tone, Xiren frowned and asked, "What happened?"
The servant was out of breath. "Master … Master is back. He asked Young Master to … to go to the study to find him as soon as you came back."
"Baoyu …" Xiren was startled. She looked at Song Qingshu worriedly.
"It's okay. Don't worry." Song Qingshu thought it was good that Xiren had come. He strode to the study.
Looking at his departing figure, a hint of confusion appeared in Xiren's eyes. "Baoyu used to be scared out of his wits whenever he heard of Master's name. Why does it seem like he's not scared at all this time?"
When Song QingShu arrived at the study, he found that all the servants had left. There was no one else but Jia Shidao within a radius of a hundred feet.
As soon as he stepped into the room, Song Qingshu was worried about how to address Jia Shidao. A teacup flew toward him. He could see the hot water splashing from the teacup. He was startled and was about to dodge it. However, he thought that Jia Baoyu couldn't dodge the teacup.
As he was about to take it, the teacup flew in an arc in the air and finally broke into pieces a foot in front of him.
Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. With his eyesight, he could clearly see that the teacup was aimed at his face, but it suddenly fell down at the last moment. Obviously, it was because of Jia Shidao's hidden power. It was such a clever trick that Song Qingshu didn't notice it at first.
The only thing that made him happy was that Jia Shidao obviously loved Jia Baoyu. Even though he was angry, he couldn't bear to hurt Jia Baoyu.
"Look what you did!" After breaking the teacup, Jia Shidao scolded him angrily. "I don't care if you play with women. You're a man, so it's not a big deal. But you should have some brains. You should know which women you can touch and which women you can't! Li Kexiu has a lot of troops and has just surrendered to the imperial court. She sent her daughter to Lin 'an to be a concubine. How dare you touch such a woman? "
Jia Shidao became angrier and angrier. He slapped the desk, and the heavy solid wood desk suddenly broke into pieces.
Song Qingshu was secretly shocked. The aura that Jia Shidao released just now was definitely that of a super master. He hurried to calm down so that Jia Shidao wouldn't find out that he had kung fu.
