It was no wonder that Chen Yuanyuan was sad. She had been fought over by several men in her life and had experienced too many hardships. She had thought that her daughter was already a princess now and would be able to live a luxurious life from a young age without repeating her mistakes. Who would have thought that she did not repeat her mistakes but suffered in a completely opposite way.
Chen Yuanyuan had too many men and Ah Ke did not have a man. Whether it was with Fu Kangan or Kangxi, they all died. Now that there was a good ending, who knew that Zhao Gou did not have the ability to be a husband.
But even if Zhao Gou could not have sex, he was still the emperor. Since Ah Ke had become an imperial concubine, she would not be able to find another man in this life.
The mother and daughter hugged and cried for a while. Chen Yuanyuan had experienced too much and quickly sobered up. She looked at her daughter and said, "Is that why you went to ask about Song Qingshu?"
"Of course not." Ah Ke buried her head in her arms shyly. Song Qingshu, who was on the beam, felt his mouth go dry. He thought that there were countless men in the world who coveted the softness of Chen Yuanyuan's chest. Only Ah Ke did not feel bad when she hugged her.
"I just thought of how he looked down on me and felt very uncomfortable. I wanted to find out more about him so that I could take revenge in the future." Ah Ke buried her head in Chen Yuanyuan's arms and said in a muffled voice.
Li Yuanzhi, who was on the beam, could not help but laugh happily when she heard her words. She poked the man beside her and said, "Brother Song, did you abandon her after you slept with her?"
Song Qingshu shook his head. He only felt strange. When did he offend her? And make her hate him so much?
Fortunately, Chen Yuanyuan also had the same doubts. "Did that Song Qingshu do something to you?" She had a deep impression of Song Qingshu. Back in the Three Holy Nunnery, he had discussed Buddhism with her and had the air of an enlightened monk.
However, she did not have a good impression of Song Qingshu, mainly because he had said that there would be no problem bringing Ah Ke to the capital. Who knew that Ah Ke would lose her freedom as soon as she entered Yan Jing City. Later, she was even used as a hostage to threaten Wu Sangui. All of this made her feel like she had been cheated. It would be strange if she had a good impression of him.
"He didn't do anything to me." Knowing his mother's worry, Ah Ke hurriedly explained, "But in Yanjing City, Kangxi did not dare to take me into the harem as he said, but who knew Kangxi would give me to him."
"Ah!" Chen Yuanyuan exclaimed. "At that time, I thought he was glib-tongued and frivolous. So this was what he was planning."
Li Yuanzhi, who was on the beam, poked Song Qingshu's waist. Her eyes were full of smiles. "Glib, frivolous, little pervert ~"
Song Qingshu was speechless. He could only continue to listen to what the people below were saying.
"Mother, you misunderstood him." Ah Ke hurriedly said, "He didn't plan to do anything to me. When Kangxi gave me to him, he refused without hesitation."
"He refused?" Chen Yuanyuan said in surprise.
"Yes." Ah Ke bit her lip. "I was very indignant. I hate everything related to him."
"So you went to make things difficult for Miss Li?" Chen Yuanyuan finally understood the whole story. At the same time, Li Yuanzhi, who was on the beam, also suddenly realized that she had been implicated by Song Qingshu.
"Mother, do you think I'm so annoying? No matter what, I'm a dignified princess. I'm not bad looking. Why did he refuse me without even thinking about it? "
Li Yuanzhi deeply agreed with Ah Ke's words. She thought, "Not only are you not bad looking, you can even make the fish and beasts fall from the sky. If I were a man, I would definitely not be able to refuse."
"In the end, I'm afraid it's your father's reputation that dragged you down." Seeing her daughter's puzzled eyes, Chen Yuanyuan thought that this girl was even more stupid than she was when she was young. She was afraid that there would be many disasters in the future. She could only patiently explain, "In fact, Song Qingshu has already told you the reason."
"When did he tell me?" Ah Ke asked curiously.
"Have you forgotten why he was so sure that Kangxi wouldn't marry you when he was in the Sansheng Nunnery?" Chen Yuanyuan sighed faintly. "In the end, the reason he refused you was exactly the same as the reason Kangxi refused you."
Ah Ke exclaimed, "Kangxi wanted to buy people's hearts. Could it be that he also …"
Chen Yuanyuan nodded. "In the past, I always thought that he was just a greedy and lustful playboy. It seems that I underestimated him. Combined with his achievements over the years, he had the ambition and plan to fight for the Central Plains as early as that time. His foresight is really admirable."
Ah Ke was immediately dissatisfied. "Mother, you're still speaking for him."
Chen Yuanyuan smiled. "I'm just telling the truth. Now that I think about it, it would have been great if he had agreed to Kangxi's betrothal. I'm afraid he would have been the best choice for you."
Ah Ke's pretty face instantly turned red. "Bah, if mother likes him, I'll marry him myself!"
"Naughty girl, you even dare to make fun of your mother!" Chen Yuanyuan's face turned slightly red, and a delicate redness seeped out of her smooth and white skin, as if smeared on white jade. She was stunned.
The mother and daughter played for a while. Ah Ke suddenly asked, "By the way, mother, why did you stop me just now? You're not related to Li Yuanzhi at all."
Chen Yuanyuan sighed. "Miss Li turned from a proud daughter of heaven to the daughter of a sinner overnight. She fell from the sky to the ground. It's already pitiful enough. Why do you have to make things difficult for her? What's more, it was us who caused her to fall to this point. "
Li Yuanzhi was originally very touched, but when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but be stunned. She thought to herself, What does what happened to me have to do with her? Even Song Qingshu didn't know what was going on. He gestured for them to keep quiet and continued to listen.
"Mother, this is all Minister Han's plan," Ah Ke hurriedly comforted.
"That's true, but after all, we participated in it." Chen Yuanyuan sighed. "If you had told me earlier that Zhao Gou and you were in name but not in reality, I wouldn't have helped you fight for the title of Queen by framing an innocent person."
"Mother, did you forget the task that father gave us?" Ah Ke said. "If we want to take down Moqi Chu and Jia Shidao, we should start with Li Yuanzhi. Unfortunately, Jia Shidao has a strong foundation. Although his power has been greatly reduced, his foundation hasn't been harmed."
Hearing the two women's discussion, Song Qingshu suddenly understood. Back then, all the evidence pointed to Jia Fei killing Li Yuanzhi because of jealousy. He felt that something was wrong, but he didn't expect the two of them to be the culprits.
"Brother Song, I have a favor to ask of you." Li Yuanzhi's cold voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Tell me. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse." Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. He didn't expect Li Yuanzhi to find out the truth so coincidentally. She had suffered so much because of that incident. Now that the culprit was in front of her, how could she let it go?
