Looking at the man walking on the moon, Xiao Long Nu suddenly realized that her heart was beating really fast, as if she could hear it clearly in her ears.
"What's wrong with me?" Xiao Long Nu held her heart, a complicated expression flashing through her eyes.
The yellow-shirted woman's eyes also lit up, but then she remembered that he was here to ask for her hand in marriage, and that he was about to become her brother-in-law, and her expression darkened.
"Brother Song ~ Ah ~" Li Yuanzhi, who was in the Cold Palace, was jumping like a child, screaming excitedly. Her eyes almost popped out of her head.
Looking at the excited girl beside her, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but think of her youth. Back then, the people around her were either weak scholars or fierce-looking generals. If she had met him back then, would she have followed Hong Fu's example and run in the night?
Looking at the fairy-like man in the air, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but be dazed.
Different from her mother, Ah Ke's thin lips were pressed together, her expression alternating between happy and angry. No one knew what she was thinking about.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. Worried that her expression would cause unnecessary trouble if Zhao Gou saw it, Ah Ke subconsciously turned around, but she was shocked to find that Zhao Gou wasn't looking at her at all. His face was dark, as if it was about to drip water.
It was no wonder that Zhao Gou's expression was dark. He had ordered his soldiers to be quiet earlier, and none of them listened to him. Then, with a few words from Song Qingshu, the soldiers immediately quieted down.
His own soldiers listened to someone else's orders. Any emperor would have a reason to be angry.
But Zhao Gou didn't dare to show it. Song Qingshu's move was too shocking. Even his heart was shaken. Was this person really a god from heaven?
After Song Qingshu returned to the ground, he reached out to support Xiao Long Nu, and asked with concern, "Are your wounds okay?"
Xiao Long Nu's face was slightly red. She found that her heartbeat seemed to have sped up. She answered softly, "I'm fine."
Seeing that the first thing he did was to ask about Xiao Long Nu, the yellow-shirted woman's expression darkened. But she had always been a proud and cold person, so she quickly recovered.
"Miss Yang, fortunately you were there to take care of me just now. Thank you." Song Qingshu suddenly turned his head and looked at her. Although he was in midair just now, he could vaguely see that Moqi Chu was about to attack Xiao Long Nu. Fortunately, the yellow-robed woman had blocked them.
Hearing his thanks, the yellow-robed woman's face suddenly brightened. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Since I've promised you, I naturally have to keep my promise. Furthermore, Miss Long might be General Yue's daughter. Whether it's for public or private reasons, I will protect her."
Song Qingshu nodded. He held Xiao Long Nu's hand and walked to the center of the field. He looked at Zhao Gou and said in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, the heavens are crying for General Yue now. This proves that General Yue's case was indeed filled with injustice. I hope that Your Majesty will order a retrial of the case."
"Your Majesty, please issue a decree to reopen the case of that year!" Now that Song Qingshu's prestige was soaring, many people had already wanted to cry out for justice on Yue Fei's behalf. They all took the opportunity to kneel down and beg.
Zhao Gou's face twitched. Even though he was extremely unwilling to bring up the matter of the past, he had just made an agreement. Furthermore, the crowd was so agitated now. He was worried that going back on his word would deal a devastating blow to his prestige. He could only snort coldly, "Summon the three departments to conduct a joint trial and reopen the case of Yue Fei."
"Long live the Emperor ~"
Hearing the thunderous cheers, Zhao Gou's heart sank. He glanced thoughtfully at Moqi Chu in the distance, wondering if he should abandon the rook to save the king?
"Your Majesty, even if you want to reopen the case of that year, it is an irrefutable fact that this woman attempted to assassinate Your Majesty. Not to mention the fact that she is Yue Fei's daughter, even if she is, she will not be able to escape death. Your humble servant sincerely requests that Your Majesty throw this female assassin into the Heavenly Prison and interrogate her harshly." Zhang Jun saw that Moqi Chu's face had already turned deathly pale, and she seemed to have lost her soul. He had no choice but to step forward.
Zhao Gou hesitated slightly, but before he could speak, he heard Song Qingshu say, "That year, General Yue was harmed by a traitor. If he is thrown into the Heavenly Prison, it is hard to guarantee that those traitors will do something that will anger even the gods again. For the time being, Song Mou will be in charge of Lady Long."
"Who are you calling a traitor?" Zhang Jun said angrily.
Song Qingshu did not even look at him as he replied calmly, "Whoever is flustered and exasperated is the traitor."
"You!" Zhang Jun's old face flushed red. He had no choice but to say to Zhao Gou, "Your Majesty, since the founding of this dynasty, there has been no logic in handing over an assassin to someone else. Your Majesty, please decide."
Song Qingshu shielded Xiao Long Nu behind him and said clearly, "No matter what your rules are, I will not hand Lady Long over to you."
Looking at the broad back of the man in front of her, Xiao Long Nu felt a sense of security that she had never felt before. Her beautiful eyes looked at him quietly.
Han Chuan Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Your Majesty, Prince Song's words are not without reason. If this lady really is General Yue's daughter, then she is General Yue's only flesh and blood in this world. If something really happens to her, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to answer to the people of the world."
As soon as he finished speaking, the officials of the same faction all chimed in, each of them quoting from the scriptures. It could be said that their words flowed like a river. The officials of Moqi Chu and Zhang Jun's faction did not want to be outdone. They all retorted, and for a moment, their faces were red with anger.
"Enough!" Zhao Gou gave a heavy humph, and the scene instantly quietened down. "This lady will temporarily be under the care of Prince Song. Until the truth of the case is revealed, she is not allowed to leave the capital during this period. If she disappears, then the person in charge will be punished as well. Is Prince Song willing?"
At this time, he was still in a state of shock when Song Qingshu ascended to the heavens to pray for rain. He was also very wary of the other. Even if Song Qingshu was not a god, just based on his miraculous lightness skills, the entire palace would not be able to keep him. In addition, he had a complicated background of good relations with various countries …
Zhao Gou thought about it and felt that there was no need to make such a great enemy over such a small matter. So he went with the flow and agreed.
Song Qingshu seemed to have already expected this. He did not look surprised at all. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ah Ke could not help but pout. She thought to herself, for this woman, was it worth it for you to sacrifice so much?
Zhao Gou was clearly not in a good mood. He continued to speak coldly. "The matter of the princess that we agreed on earlier … wait until the truth of Yue Fei's case is revealed." Finishing, he ignored Moqi Ke and Zhang Jun's pleas and turned to leave.
Ah Ke had no choice but to leave. She turned back to look at Song Qingshu reluctantly. Her eyes were bright, clearly hinting to him not to forget the agreement between the two of them.
Song Qingshu laughed bitterly. It seemed that he would not be able to fulfill her request. He unconsciously raised his head to look at Huang Chang. He found that the other was also looking at him thoughtfully.
"Boy, I know that you were the one who broke into the Forbidden Palace that night." Huang Chang's voice sounded in his ear. Song Qingshu's heart jumped. He raised his head again and found that Huang Chang and Zhao Gou had already walked further and further away. It was as if they had not spoken at all.
Song Qingshu laughed bitterly. Even though he had not revealed his true appearance, his peerless lightness skills could not be hidden. With Huang Chang's eyesight, he naturally knew that it was very rare for there to be one person in this world who had such lightness skills. How could there be such a coincidence for two people to have such amazing lightness skills?
