"You should have told me that last night." The yellow-robed girl snorted and muttered.
Song Qingshu knew that she was still holding a grudge about last night's kiss. He smiled and said, "Hey, if you really want to count, you should have promised me in the Jin Kingdom …"
Before he finished, the yellow-robed girl interrupted him and blushed, "Okay, okay, promise me one more thing and I'll help you."
"It's always hard to refuse a beautiful woman's request. Tell me, what do you want me to promise?" Song Qingshu naturally would not be so clear with her. Helping her might not mean losing. Just like when a man and a woman borrowed books, they could only return it after borrowing it. Over time, they could improve their relationship.
"Can you take me to see the clouds next time?" The yellow-robed girl asked carefully, her eyes full of expectation.
Song Qingshu hesitated and said, "If I take someone with me, I may not be able to fly so high …"
The yellow-robed girl's expression darkened, "Well, forget it."
Seeing her disappointment, Song Qingshu could not help but say, "Don't worry, it's just a little difficult. I can take you to try." He had already thought it through. It was difficult to take someone to see the clouds on flat ground. What if they set off from the top of the mountain? Wouldn't it save a lot of distance?
"Really?" Hearing his promise, the yellow-robed girl cried out in surprise. She was usually taught to be indifferent, but now she completely forgot her master's teachings. She was as excited as a child.
"Of course." Looking at the yellow-robed girl's excited face, Song Qingshu could not help but laugh.
"Now it's time to talk about me." Seeing that she was still happy, Song Qingshu could not help but remind her.
"Uh …" The yellow-robed girl suddenly looked embarrassed, "In fact, although I am the Holy Virgin of the Academy in name, I never care about specific matters … Moreover, if I do it, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect …"
"What opposite effect?" Song Qingshu was stunned.
"That's right … that's right …" The yellow-robed woman stammered as if she was thinking about how to phrase it. Finally, she could not help but stomp her feet. "Oh, it's not like you haven't seen those people in the Academy today … If I stand up for you, they may turn around and ruin your plan."
Song Qingshu finally understood. He couldn't help but sigh. Although the yellow-robed woman and Xiao Long Nu had similar temperaments, both of them were as cold as ice, the two of them were fundamentally different. Xiao Long Nu was ignorant of worldly affairs and could be said to be innocent and naive. The yellow-robed woman, on the other hand, was meticulous and extremely mature. Her insight into human nature could be said to have reached an extremely brilliant level.
Even she herself did not expect that she was keenly aware of the danger involved. With the love these people had for her, if they knew that she had made an exception for a man, they might really go crazy out of jealousy. Not only would they not help her, but they would also secretly make things difficult for her.
It was one thing for Song Qingshu to understand, but another for him to be depressed. "So you gave me an empty promise just now. Not only did I tell you the secret of the rain, but I also agreed to one of your conditions."
The yellow-robed woman blushed. Although she did not understand what an empty promise was, she could roughly guess what it was. She said guiltily, "Don't worry. Although I can't directly help you, I can help you in other ways."
"How?" After being fooled once, Song Qingshu's expression suddenly became suspicious.
The yellow-robed woman explained, "Now the affairs of Jianshan Academy are managed by the Chancellor of the Directorate, Li Shouzhong. These years, it can be said that he has students all over the world. Whether it is in the imperial court or in the Academy, he is extremely prestigious. As long as he agrees, the public opinion of the imperial court will definitely develop in the direction that you expect."
"Li Shouzhong?" Song Qingshu always felt that the name was very familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it. "I am not related to him, how would he be willing to help me?"
The yellow-robed woman pursed her lips and smiled. "Have you forgotten what the surname of General Yue's wife is?"
"Li …" Song Qingshu's eyes lit up. "You mean?"
"That's right." The yellow-robed woman nodded. "Li Shouzhong is Madam Yue's younger brother. He would not let go of such a good opportunity."
"That's good. I will go find him now." Song Qingshu stood up excitedly. He was excited not only to avenge Xiao Long Nu, but also to seek justice for a national hero like Yue Fei.
After a few steps, he suddenly thought of something and turned around again. "Why don't you come with me?" In his opinion, they were both from the Academy. With the yellow-robed woman accompanying him, it would be easier for him to put in a good word for Li Shouzhong.
"I …" The yellow-robed woman looked embarrassed. She said apologetically, "In fact, there is one thing I didn't say just now. My identity is sensitive. Yue Fei's case was approved by my brother. If I help you, I will be openly against him …"
Only then did Song QingShu remember that the yellow-robed girl was the daughter of Emperor Huizong of Song, and her current situation in Lin 'an was indeed very awkward. "Forget it, I'll go alone. But when I think about how you've extracted a secret and a condition from me with just a few words, I always feel that I've made a huge loss."
The yellow-robed woman slightly raised the corner of her mouth. "At least I have pointed out a clear way for you. Otherwise, you will be like a headless fly bumping around, and you will not get anything."
"It is not certain whether it is a clear way or not." Song Qingshu was not as optimistic as her. He had experienced too many things. He had long understood that before the dust settled, there might be mistakes no matter how sure he was.
"Alright, alright, I'll take it as I owe you a favor." As soon as the yellow-robed woman said these words, she was shocked. She never thought that she would use such a coquettish tone in front of a man.
…
Coming out of Jianshan Academy, Song Qingshu asked people along the way. Not long after, he arrived at the gate of Li's Mansion. When he stated his purpose of coming, the gatekeeper told him that Master had gone out and had not come back yet.
Song Qingshu frowned. He did not know whether Li Shouzhong really went out or did not want to see him. When he was worried, suddenly a soft sedan stopped at the door.
Following that, an elegant and dignified young woman walked out of the palanquin. Her temperament was very unique, like an ancient well without any ripples, and also like a melodious evening bell in the evening mist. She was calm and composed, but also revealed a strong sense of vicissitudes.
This young woman was obviously in the best years of a woman, but from head to toe revealed a sense of discouragement, which made people sigh uncontrollably.
"Sister-in-law …" Song Qingshu blurted out. As soon as the words left his mouth, he secretly cursed. It turned out that this young woman was the widowed Li Wan of Jia's Mansion. When he disguised himself as Jia Baoyu and met her a few times, he called out completely out of instinct.
When Li Wan heard a handsome and tall stranger call her sister-in-law, her pretty face immediately turned red. There was a trace of anger between her eyebrows. She could not help but scold, "Where did this lecher come from?" She was a very traditional lady of a noble family. In addition, she was a widow at a young age. It could be said that she paid great attention to her reputation. She rarely talked to men, let alone being called so intimately by a stranger.
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and could only apologize, "I am really sorry. I was dazzled and recognized the wrong person. I hope Madam does not take offense."
Li Wan's expression softened a little. The other party was polite. She could not pursue the matter further due to her upbringing. She nodded and ignored him, walking straight to the door.
Song Qingshu hurriedly chased after her, "Madam, please wait!"
