In addition to Li Yuanzhi, there was also Chen Yuanyuan, who was considered a femme fatale by all the men in the world. He had been so busy recently that he had no time to take care of them. He didn't know if anything had happened to the two women in the palace.
With this thought, Song Qingshu could no longer suppress his worry. Even though the sun had not set, he couldn't care so much. He immediately left and quietly sneaked into the palace.
After all, it was not night time. Now that he wanted to enter the palace in broad daylight, even with Song Qingshu's peerless Qinggong, he had to be careful. Fortunately, there were not many people in the Cold Palace, so he managed to sneak in safely.
"I wonder how they are getting along. That girl Yuanzhi is weird and has never liked Chen Yuanyuan and her mother. Chen Yuanyuan doesn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. Could she have been bullied badly by her?" Song Qingshu couldn't help but break out in cold sweat for Chen Yuanyuan.
But when he arrived at their residence, he couldn't help but be stunned because the scene in front of him was very different from what he had imagined. Chen Yuanyuan was not crying in the corner with bruises all over her body, and Li Yuanzhi was not holding a whip and laughing wildly in front of her like a witch.
The two women were sitting quietly opposite each other. Chen Yuanyuan was as beautiful and elegant as ever, and the always lively Li Yuanzhi had transformed into a quiet beauty.
Curious, Song Qingshu took a few steps closer and found that the two women were playing Go. Li Yuanzhi held a black piece in her hand and was about to move it several times, but she eventually retracted it. She gently bit her finger and frowned in thought. She looked very cute.
Chen Yuanyuan was still looking at her with a smile, not at all impatient. Suddenly, she saw Song Qingshu next to her and couldn't help but tremble.
Because her back was facing them, Li Yuanzhi didn't notice Song QingShu at first. It wasn't until she noticed the change in Chen Yuanyuan's expression that she turned her head in confusion. When she saw Song QingShu clearly, her furrowed eyebrows instantly relaxed.
"Big Brother Song ~" Li Yuanzhi cried out in joy as she jumped into Song QingShu's arms, bringing with her a fragrant breeze.
Hugging the girl's soft body, Song Qingshu gave a knowing smile. "Little Sister Yuanzhi ~"
Looking at the scene in front of her, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but be envious. Although she was the most beautiful woman in the world, and countless men fell under her skirt, she had never found a man like this who could make her rush into his arms with such a girlish attitude.
The two of them hugged each other tightly for a while. Li Yuanzhi suddenly realized that there was an audience watching them. She blushed and jumped out of his arms. In order to resolve her embarrassment, she pulled Song Qingshu's hand to the chessboard and said coquettishly, "Brother Song, come and help me. How should I make this move?"
Looking at the densely packed black and white stones in front of him, Song Qingshu felt a headache coming on. He was a transmigrator, and he was not a Go enthusiast in his previous life. How would he know how to play this game? If it was a game of Gomoku, he would still have the confidence to fight his opponent.
"I don't know," Song Qingshu said awkwardly.
"Gongzi is too modest." Chen Yuanyuan finally spoke. Her voice was still so soft and pleasant. It made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze, but at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little restless.
"That's right. I have lost two games in a row. Brother Song, you have to help me get back my face." Li Yuanzhi hugged Song Qingshu's arm and shook it.
"These two women are sincerely watching me make a fool of myself." Song Qingshu was speechless.
He really couldn't blame Chen Yuanyuan and Li Yuanzhi. After all, the four instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting were the standard in this world. Anyone with a little bit of ability in their family would be trained from a young age. There was no reason that an elegant young master like Song Qingshu wouldn't know how to play. Moreover, in their hearts, Song Qingshu had always been a resourceful and immortal-like person. His skill in chess should not be inferior to a national level player.
"Let's play. Who's afraid of who?" Song Qingshu naturally didn't want to show his fear in front of the women, so he braced himself and played. Fortunately, he had been transmigrating to this world for a few years. Under the influence of what he saw and heard, he at least knew some of the rules of Go. At least he could play.
"Huh?" Seeing her opponent's move, Chen Yuanyuan was very surprised. She couldn't understand why her opponent would play like this. Wouldn't that be a huge flaw?
However, Chen Yuanyuan didn't dare to let down her guard. She only thought that her opponent's skill in chess was far better than hers, which was why he could make such a bold move. She was worried that her opponent was deliberately luring her in and that what awaited her was a trap. Therefore, she didn't dare to take the opportunity to attack and could only steadily defend.
Song Qingshu's move was very fast, completely unlike Li Yuanzhi's previous hesitation. Seeing the young girl beside him, he couldn't help but applaud, "Brother Song is awesome!"
In fact, she also didn't understand Song Qingshu's moves. However, in a young girl's heart, her lover was the best in everything. Since that was the case, he naturally had his reasons. It was just that she wasn't good enough.
As the game progressed, Chen Yuanyuan's expression became more and more strange. An idea in her mind became clearer and clearer. Finally, she couldn't help but try to counterattack. Who knew that her opponent would collapse at the first touch?
Li Yuanzhi, who was at the side, was instantly dumbfounded before she could finish her praise.
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help it anymore. She covered her mouth and laughed softly, "So Gongzi really is a … a lousy chess player."
Song Qingshu's face was gloomy, "I already said that I don't know how to play, but you guys still want me to play." In his heart, however, he was indignant. If it was like those system-driven novels in his previous life, where he brought an alpha dog with him when he transmigrated, it would be strange if he didn't torture her until she had climaxes.
"You scoundrel! You made me lose face!" Thinking about how she had praised him to the heavens, Li Yuanzhi couldn't help but punch him in the chest with her pink fist.
"Not playing anymore, not playing anymore," Song Qingshu guiltily messed up the chessboard.
Seeing him act like a hoodlum on the street, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but laugh.
Song Qingshu hurriedly changed the topic, "That's right, how is Madam's injury?"
Chen Yuanyuan smiled slightly, "It's almost healed." The scene of him treating her wound suddenly appeared in her mind. Especially when the guards outside came to search the room, he 'violated' her. Her already beautiful face became even more tender and beautiful.
"That's good," Song Qingshu suddenly asked with a strange expression, "Did she bully you during this period of time?"
Li Yuanzhi, who was at the side, immediately objected, "Brother Song, in your heart, am I such a barbaric person?"
Chen Yuanyuan smiled gently, "Sister Yuanzhi has always treated me very well." In fact, in the beginning, Li Yuanzhi was indeed full of hostility towards her, but she had grown up in a brothel, and later mingled with so many powerful men. What she was best at was making people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze. Although Li Yuanzhi was smart, she was still a young girl who didn't know much about the world. She casually used a few tricks to close the relationship between the two of them.
"Hmph ~" Li Yuanzhi, who was at the side, heard her words and couldn't help but look at Song Qingshu proudly.
Song Qingshu lovingly rubbed her hair and then said to Chen Yuanyuan, "Madam, do you mind if I take your pulse?"
Chen Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him and thought, "You've already done that to me, and now you even have to ask me to take your pulse."
"Of course not." After saying that, she reached out her hand in front of him.
Looking at the pure white wrist in front of her, Li Yuanzhi couldn't help but reach out and touch it, "Sister, your skin is so white and smooth, I really don't know how you take care of it."
Chen Yuanyuan blushed and subconsciously pulled down her sleeve to cover the skin on her forearm.
Song Qingshu coughed twice and hurriedly got rid of all distracting thoughts to take her pulse. He found that her pulse was steady and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, "Madam's injury is almost healed. As long as you rest and recuperate, you will soon recover."
"This is all thanks to Young Master's treatment." Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"Huh?" Song Qingshu subconsciously glanced at her lower abdomen. Chen Yuanyuan was stunned. Only then did she realize that her words just now were ambiguous, and her pretty face instantly turned red.
"Ahem." Song Qingshu recovered quickly and hurriedly resolved the embarrassment, "Since Madam's injury is almost healed, I should send Madam back."
"Actually, I think this Cold Palace is a good place to cultivate. During this time, my heart is calmer than ever before," Chen Yuanyuan said softly.
Song Qingshu was stunned. He didn't understand what she meant by her answer. Could it be that she had developed feelings for living here and didn't want to go back?
"I plan to take Sister Yuanzhi out of the palace. It's time for her to see her father. How can I rest assured if you live alone in this Cold Palace?" Song Qingshu said, "What's more, your daughter has been very worried about you during this time."
Hearing him mention Ah Ke, Chen Yuanyuan swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Indeed, she had been out for too long, and it was time to go back.
"Can I really leave the palace?" Li Yuanzhi asked in surprise.
"Of course." Song Qingshu stroked her soft hair. "You've suffered staying in the Cold Palace all this time."
Previously, he had let Li Yuanzhi stay here because of her sensitive identity. Now that the general situation had been settled, she had become an insignificant person in the palace. In addition, now that everyone's attention was on Yue Fei's case, taking her away quietly at this time would not cause a ripple.
"The biggest problem now is how to send you back." Song Qingshu looked at Chen Yuanyuan and said in distress, "I can't take you directly to Ah Ke. That way, I won't be able to explain to the people in the palace."
The three of them discussed for a while and finally came up with a plan. Let Chen Yuanyuan pretend to be imprisoned in the Cold Palace, then let the nearby palace maids or imperial concubines in the Cold Palace "accidentally" discover her, so that the imperial guards would take the initiative to rescue her.
"The biggest problem is your statement after being rescued. The imperial guards will definitely ask about what happened during this time." Song Qingshu looked at Chen Yuanyuan worriedly.
"Don't worry. I've experienced many ups and downs in my life. I can handle such a small matter." Chen Yuanyuan smiled slightly, her tone graceful and calm.
"That's good." Song Qingshu also believed that she could make up a reasonable story. Then he looked at Li Yuanzhi next to him, his heart full of playfulness. "Why don't you go be the imperial concubine who snitches? Maybe you can even restore your status as an imperial concubine."
"Bah!" Li Yuanzhi spat with a red face. "I don't want to be the imperial concubine of Zhao and Song."
Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but tease, "Then whose imperial concubine do you want to be?" As she spoke, her eyes deliberately glanced at Song Qingshu.
Although Li Yuanzhi was sometimes bold and unrestrained, she was a shy girl after all. How could she withstand such teasing? "Sister, you're teasing me too! I'll ignore you guys. I'm going to walk around the Cold Palace and see who is suitable to be the informant. "After saying that, she ran out as if she was escaping.
"It's rare to see this girl shy." Watching her figure disappear outside the door, Chen Yuanyuan pursed her lips and smiled.
"After all, she's still a little girl." Song Qingshu also couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing him yawning as he spoke, Chen Yuanyuan said for some reason, "Are you very tired? Do you want me to massage you?"
