Seeing that Li Yuanzhi was not in the room, Song Qingshu's heart sank. Could it be that after he left, another eunuch came to bestow white silk and poisoned wine? The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Song Qingshu could no longer sit still and began to search everywhere.
After searching everywhere, there was still no trace of Li Yuanzhi. Song Qingshu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. Coincidentally, a palace maid passed by. He grabbed her and asked, "Where did Li Yuanzhi go in this room?"
In a hurry, he directly used the Soul Transfer Technique. The palace maid's willpower was so weak that her eyes instantly became dull. "She seems to have gone to Concubine Wu's hall to give thanks."
"Give thanks?" Song Qingshu pressed the palace maid's sleeping acupuncture point. His expression was extremely strange. With his understanding of Li Yuanzhi, how could he not know what she was planning? It must be the prank from the day before yesterday. She wanted to appreciate the reaction of her masterpiece. She didn't know if she was too tired or guilty yesterday, but today, Li Yuanzhi finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart.
Song Qingshu hesitated. The back palace was guarded by the big boss, Huang Chang. It was a little risky for him to go there. However, he was worried that Li Yuanzhi would accidentally spill the beans and cause a fatal disaster. In the end, he still rushed in the direction of the palace where Ah Ke lived.
"Am I more worried about Li Yuanzhi, or am I more interested in seeing Chen Yuanyuan and Ah Ke's reaction after that night?" Song Qingshu muttered to himself all the way. He still did not find the answer when he reached Concubine Wu's palace.
When Song Qingshu arrived, he just saw the palace maid leading Li Yuanzhi into the hall. It was too late to stop her, so he could only hide and sneak in.
Now that his Lightness Skill had reached the pinnacle, it was not too difficult for him to avoid the sight of a few palace maids. His whole body was like a wisp of smoke, quietly flying into the palace, hiding on a beam that was several feet high, quietly looking down.
He saw Ah Ke sitting on a chair. She was still beautiful, but she was not as radiant as usual. Her face was visibly haggard.
Chen Yuanyuan was also in the main hall, and there seemed to be a faint frown between her brows. It was obvious that the events of that day had thrown her into disarray, and she was unable to return to the quiet room to cultivate or study Buddhist scriptures.
Compared to them, Li Yuanzhi's complexion was much rosier. She didn't know if it was because of Song Qingshu's nourishment or because she was happy to see her enemy's fearful appearance.
"You keep telling the palace maids that you have something important to discuss with me. What is it?" Seeing Li Yuanzhi's high-spirited appearance, Ah Ke felt a wave of displeasure. He thought to himself that she did not look like a person in the Cold Palace who felt sorry for herself. It was obvious that she was an extremely favored imperial concubine. Especially when he thought about her close relationship with Song Qingshu, he felt even more annoyed.
These two days, Ah Ke had a lot on her mind. Originally, she didn't want to see her, but the other party kept saying that she had something important to see her. Out of curiosity, she finally let her in.
Song Qingshu, who was sitting on the beam, suddenly realized why Li Yuanzhi ran over so early in the morning and didn't see her until now. It turned out that she was blocked outside.
"This time, I'm here to thank Concubine Wu and Silent Hermit for saving my life." Li Yuanzhi bowed respectfully, but her eyes swept back and forth between the mother and daughter. Her gaze especially lingered on Chen Yuanyuan's rosy lips for a long time. Seeing how the two of them looked like they had a lot on their minds, she was overjoyed.
"This is what you meant by something important?" Ah Ke glared at her. Even Li Yuanzhi, a beauty herself, could not help but sigh. As expected of a peerless beauty. Every frown and every smile was so beautiful.
"Isn't saving my life something important?" Li Yuanzhi replied innocently.
"You …" Ah Ke was momentarily speechless.
"Your Highness Wu, you don't look too well. Did you not sleep well for the past two days? Is there something on your mind? "Li Yuanzhi Zhiruo pointed out.
"No …" Ah Ke denied flatly. Feeling a little guilty, she said, "What could be on my mind?"
"If Your Highness has something on your mind, you can pour it out to me. Although I can't even protect myself right now, I can still be a qualified listener." Li Yuanzhi continued with a concerned look on her face. However, the slight curl of her lips betrayed her true thoughts at the moment.
"I already said that there's no need for that. You can leave now." Ah Ke was a little angry. She waved her hand and signaled for the palace maids to take her out.
Li Yuanzhi had a regretful look on her face. I really want to provoke her a little more …
Just as she was about to leave, Chen Yuanyuan's voice came from behind. "Miss Li, please wait a moment."
Song Qingshu, who was sitting on the beam, sighed inwardly. Chen Yuanyuan was known for her beauty and artistic skills back then, and she truly lived up to her reputation. He had already seen her beauty, and although he had never seen her artistic skills, he could roughly imagine how heavenly her songs were just from her gentle voice alone.
"Silent Wanderer, what can I do for you?" Looking at this devastatingly beautiful woman in front of her, Li Yuanzhi had a complicated expression on her face. Originally, she had a good impression of this beautiful woman because Chen Yuanyuan had helped her out that night. Who knew that she would be one of the main culprits who had harmed her? You really couldn't judge a person by their appearance. Beneath such a gentle and beautiful appearance was a venomous heart.
Chen Yuanyuan waved her hand and signaled for the palace maids to leave first. Then, she asked in a low voice, "I heard that Miss Li was once a person of the martial world?"
Li Yuanzhi didn't understand, but she subconsciously nodded. "That's right."
"Then are you familiar with the martial world?" Seeing her nod, Chen Yuanyuan's eyes lit up.
"I know a thing or two." Li Yuanzhi was confused. Why was she asking about this?
Chen Yuanyuan opened her mouth as if she had suddenly thought of something. Before she could say anything, her beautiful face was smeared with a layer of red, "I wonder if there are any famous qinggong masters in Jianghu?"
Although Chen Yuanyuan had previously denied her daughter's guess about the martial world experts, the mother and daughter had been thinking about it for the past two days, and they couldn't come up with any clues. She couldn't help but be a little shaken.
Li Yuanzhi was a smart girl, so she instantly understood her daughter's intention. She suppressed the pride in her heart and slowly explained, "There are countless qinggong experts in the martial world, but the most famous ones are the Vicious and Evil Cloud Crane and the Solitary Tian Boguang."
"Who are they?" Chen Yuanyuan's voice was trembling. After all, the words "vicious and evil" sounded like they weren't good people.
