"Cunning?" Song Qingshu was speechless. "Am I that bad?"
"Ask yourself, compared to Brother Jing, are you considered sly and cunning?" Huang Rong rolled her eyes at him.
Song QingShu sternly said, "In terms of being a gentleman and being selfless, I am indeed not as good as Hero Guo. But in terms of expelling the Tartars and restoring China, I am not the least bit inferior to Hero Guo."
Huang Rong was stunned by his words. After a long time, she sighed and said, "Not only is he not bad, Brother Jing is not as good as you in this aspect."
This had always been a knot in her heart. She and her husband had been defending Xiangyang for so many years, and Guo Jing was so busy that he had almost no time for his family. Although they had repelled the Mongols several times, she knew that if they continued to defend passively, the Mongols would break through Xiangyang sooner or later. When that time came, the fate of her family could be imagined.
Even though the world called her a female Zhuge, and at the same time she was aware of the gloomy ending, she was still powerless to change it. All she could do was try her best to delay the arrival of that day.
Until Song Qingshu suddenly rose to prominence in the past two years. In just a few years, he had gained a firm foothold among the major powers and seized nearly half of the country from the Manchurian Qing. He had dealt a huge blow to the arrogance of the grassland empires. If she could get his help, she might really be able to change the tragic fate of her family.
Because of this, she was more tolerant of Song Qingshu than most men. Otherwise, she would not be the kind of woman who would get entangled with him because of the accident that night.
Of course, there was a premise to all this. After all they had been through, she did not hate him. Otherwise, she would have used the same tricks she used on Ouyang Ke.
"Rong 'er, I will be proud to hear you praise me like this." Song Qingshu said humbly, but he could not hide his pride.
"Stop talking nonsense. Think about how we are going to get out of here." Huang Rong was also speechless. She thought to herself that he could clearly be considered an overlord of a region, but sometimes he was like a child. However, it was precisely because of this "childishness" that she would sometimes completely let down her guard.
"Actually, it's not difficult to get out. What's difficult is how to get out without alerting the guards in the palace," Song Qingshu said with a bitter smile. "I don't know how many people saw me enter the palace today. If things get out of hand, they'll quickly suspect me. What's more, there's a martial arts competition going on right now. I have to return to the scene."
Huang Rong's eyes lit up and she asked happily, "Brother Jing is here too?"
Song Qingshu pursed his lips. "Aren't you afraid that I'll be disappointed?"
Huang Rong pursed her lips into a smile and snorted, "I care about my husband. Why are you so disappointed?"
Song Qingshu was speechless for a moment. He could only answer, "Brother Guo didn't come. You went missing, and he has been looking for you like crazy. He has no intention of participating in the competition. Jia Shidao had to let Gusu Murong Fu take his place …" Then he roughly explained the whole thing.
Huang Rong stomped her feet and couldn't help but say, "Brother Jing is so stupid!" In her eyes, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he won the competition, he would barely be able to enter the upper echelons of the Southern Song Dynasty. He would be able to mobilize resources, and he would be able to do many more things than when he was a commoner in Xiangyang. By then, he wouldn't be as powerless as he was in Xiangyang.
"Hero Guo is very affectionate. Don't blame him," Song Qingshu said with a bitter smile.
"Of course I know that Brother Jing is affectionate." Huang Rong sighed. "But this opportunity is too good. It would be a pity to give it up like this."
"Actually, he has no choice but to give it up. This time, Zhao Gou clearly doesn't want him to win," Song Qingshu explained.
Huang Rong's expression darkened. "Actually, when I realized that this was the palace, I had already guessed it. I just didn't dare to continue thinking about it. Now, it seems that it's mainly because of the Jia Family."
"Rong 'er, you really are a female Zhuge. With just this bit of information, you can almost guess the whole thing." Song Qingshu couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"What's the use of being a female Zhuge? As the saying goes, it's easy to know the heavens, but it's hard to go against them. Now that the Emperor can't tolerate Brother Jing, I suddenly feel that defending Xiangyang all these years is inexplicably ridiculous." The more Huang Rong spoke, the angrier she got. She was not a person who was loyal to the Emperor, so her tone was naturally full of resentment towards Zhao Gou.
"Not using people like you can only mean that Zhao Gou is blind." Song Qingshu looked at her affectionately. "Why don't you come to the Golden Snake Camp. I'll let Brother Guo be the Grand Marshal of the army and let you be his advisor. You can fully display your talents."
Feeling the other's passionate gaze, Huang Rong's heart skipped a beat. She instinctively refused. "We won't go to your place … isn't that sending sheep to the tiger's mouth?" The second half of her sentence was almost inaudible.
Song Qingshu sighed. "Actually, even if you are willing, Hero Guo may not be willing. His ambition is to help the people. Now, if you ask him to abandon the people of Xiangyang City, he probably won't be able to do it."
Huang Rong smiled bitterly. "That's just his personality. All I can do is support him."
Dong ~ Dong ~ Dong ~
The faint sound of drums came from afar. Song Qingshu hurriedly said, "Looks like the competition has already started. We have to hurry and leave. I'll have to trouble you. Here's a set of attendant clothes. You can change into them first. "
As Prince Qi, he was qualified to bring a few attendants into the palace. He planned to disguise Huang Rong and sneak out of the palace with him later.
"When entering the palace, everyone is registered. When there's an extra person by your side, how can the palace guards not notice?" Huang Rong quickly realized the potential risks.
"Don't worry. Have you forgotten about the Soul Transfer Method? When the time comes, we can secretly use it on the person who is investigating. He won't stop us. "Song Qingshu smiled.
Huang Rong nodded secretly. She also knew the Soul Transfer Method. It was no problem for her to confuse an ordinary person. Song Qingshu's martial arts were ten times better than hers. It should not be a problem for him to deal with a palace guard.
Suddenly realizing something, Huang Rong blushed. "Go back for a while."
Song Qingshu glanced at the clothes in her hand. He smiled and spread his hands. "Take a look yourself. Is there any place in the whole room where we can go?"
After all, this room was used to imprison her. All the irrelevant items had already been taken away. They wanted to see everything as soon as they entered the room. So, they could not go back even if they wanted to.
"Then turn around …" Huang Rong suddenly thought of something. She quickly added, "No, you have to cover your eyes too!"
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "Rong 'er, are you serious? We are in danger now. People can break in at any time. Do you want me to cover my eyes at this time?"
Huang Rong blushed. She realized that this request was indeed a little inappropriate. But if he did not cover his eyes, she would not be at ease.
"Rong 'er, this is urgent. Don't waste time." Song Qingshu then muttered. "Besides, it's not like I haven't seen it before."
This sentence instantly made Huang Rong frown. Song Qingshu hurriedly turned around. "Don't worry. I won't look."
"You promise not to look back?" Huang Rong quietly looked into his eyes.
"I promise!" Song Qingshu raised his hand. He looked like he was swearing.
"Well, I believe you for the time being." Huang Rong bit her lip. After hesitating for a long time, she finally began to change her clothes.
"Should I be a gentleman or not?" Song QingShu couldn't help but start an intense psychological struggle when he heard the voice behind him that made him daydream.
"Ah!" At this moment, Huang Rong suddenly exclaimed behind him.
"What's wrong?" Song Qingshu subconsciously turned around. Unexpectedly, what he saw was Huang Rong sitting on the bed, neatly dressed and sneering at him.
"I know your words are not reliable!" Huang Rong glared at him angrily.
Song QingShu felt wronged. "I thought something happened to you."
Huang Rong said angrily, "There are only the two of us in the room. What could happen to me? Didn't you want to take the opportunity to look at me … look at me? "
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "No wonder everyone says that Rong 'er is smart. Can you not be so scheming?"
"Who told you to have bad intentions?" Huang Rong proudly snorted. "Turn around. Don't look back this time!"
"Fine, fine, fine. Even if you take off your clothes and seduce me to bed now, I won't look back." Song Qingshu said angrily.
"Nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth!" Huang Rong blushed and spat. She carefully looked at him and found that he really had no intention of looking back. Then she began to change her clothes.
However, she still did not feel at ease changing behind him. She looked around and finally climbed onto the bed. Her whole body shrunk under the quilt before she began to undress. She wanted to change her clothes under the quilt. Even if he turned his head, he would not be able to see anything … Thinking of this, Huang Rong slightly raised the corner of her mouth, showing a trace of a proud smile.
"Doctor Li, this way please." At this time, the sound of the door opening suddenly came.
The smile on Huang Rong's face instantly froze. Seeing that the person outside was about to come in, Song Qingshu's figure flashed and went back to the quilt again.
At this time, Huang Rong had already taken off her clothes, and her whole body was like a smooth mermaid. As soon as Song QingShu entered the bed, it was inevitable that he would come into contact with her skin. A burst of soft and supple touch came, and at the same time, the bed was filled with a fragrant fragrance that was like orchid and musk.
"You!" Huang Rong's skin instantly floated a layer of rose-like blush. When she was about to lose her temper, the person outside had already come in. She had no choice but to pull the quilt to cover her exposed skin. Only her head was exposed outside the quilt.
In this way, it was inevitable that she would have body contact with the other man in the quilt. Especially that bastard did not have any intention of avoiding her. Instead, he became even more aggressive. If she was not afraid of being discovered by the person who came in, she was afraid that she would have already been angry and attacked.
"Her body seems to be a little uncomfortable. Why don't you take a look at her? If anything happens to the child in her stomach, we will all lose our heads." A timid female voice said. It was obviously the voice of the maid who had just left.
