After leaving Zhao Min's place, Song Qingshu returned to the Laundry Yard. Xia Qingqing was already waiting there. Song Qingshu was worried that something might happen if he waited too long, so he didn't have time to rest. He waved at her and said, "Let's go save Yuan Chengzhi."
Icy Snow, who was at the side, roughly knew what happened from Xia Qingqing. She knew that Song Qingshu disregarded the past and went to save Yuan Chengzhi. She was even more impressed and felt that she didn't misjudge him. Seeing that they were about to leave, she hurriedly reminded, "Be careful."
Song Qingshu laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, Sister-in-law. A mere Yi Li Courtyard is nothing to me."
Icy Snow's face was still a little flushed as she watched the two of them disappear. When she thought about the words' Sister-in-law ', she was a little shaken. She secretly spat,' Tell this kid not to call me Sister-in-law anymore … 'Her snow-white skin flashed with a blush, which was even more captivating.
When Song Qingshu and Xia Qingqing arrived at the Yi Li Courtyard, they realized that even though the place was heavily guarded, it was the second half of the night. It was obvious that the guards weren't increased because of the arrival of Wen Fei and the others. They quickly knocked out two guards, changed into their clothes, and snuck in.
After all, the latter half of the night was the time when people were the most sleepy. Many of the guards inside were dozing off. Song QingShu and Luo Binghe managed to sneak in safely. Other than knocking out a few guards when they couldn't dodge, they didn't do much.
When they arrived at the room where Yuan Chengzhi was locked up, they found him heavily injured and lying on the bed. Xia Qingqing hurriedly lowered her voice and shouted, "Big Brother Yuan, Big Brother Yuan?"
After all, Yuan Chengzhi had a strong foundation in internal energy. Even though he was heavily injured, he didn't faint. When he heard someone calling him, he looked up blankly. When he saw Xia Qingqing, he couldn't help but be stunned. "It's you?" He remembered that she was the woman he met in the palace. At that time, she acted very strange when she saw him.
Xia Qingqing was delighted to hear his words. She thought that he had regained his memory. However, when she saw the blank look in his eyes, she realized that he was probably only recalling what happened in the prison. She felt a little sad and answered, "Big Brother Yuan, we are your old friends. We're here to save you."
"An old friend?" Yuan Chengzhi was stunned, and a trace of confusion flashed across his face. He had no recollection of what had happened before, but now he had no time to ask about it. He hurriedly said, "Since you are my friends, can you help me save Xiao Hui … uh, the woman in the cell over there?"
Hearing his words, Xia Qingqing's heart ached. However, she suddenly realized that since she had already decided to follow Song Qingshu, it would be even better if Yuan Chengzhi and Xiao Zhonghui had a happy ending. Thinking of this, she actually became a little happy. "Okay, we'll help you save her!"
"Thank you for your righteousness!" Yuan Chengzhi cupped his hands and said excitedly.
"Gao Yi? I'm still Bai Jie. " Song Qingshu criticized endlessly in his heart. With a raise of his hand, a strand of sword qi sliced open the shackles on Song Qingshu's hand. "Come with us to save her."
Looking at the smooth fracture on the handcuffs in his hands, Yuan Chengzhi was shocked. As he walked out, he said in admiration, "Your martial arts are so high that I really admire you."
"Brother Yuan, you flatter me." Song Qingshu smiled faintly. He thought that if Yuan Chengzhi knew about the various positions he had put his wife in, he would probably be even more shocked. However, he quickly realized that these thoughts of his were a little unbearable and hurriedly swept them out of his mind.
The three of them arrived at Xiao Zhonghui's cell. After all, she was a dignified imperial concubine. Naturally, she was not in a messy cell like other prisoners. Instead, she was in a five-star hotel. The windows were bright and clean, and there was even a silk quilt on the bed.
Xiao Zhonghui was originally sitting in front of the window in a daze. When she suddenly heard movement, she turned around and saw the three people outside. She could not help but be surprised and happy. "Big Brother Yuan?"
"Xiao Hui!" Yuan Chengzhi was also a little excited. If it were not for the iron bars blocking his way, he might have already rushed in. "They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
Xiao Zhonghui had already run over and held Yuan Chengzhi's hand through the bars. "No, they were still quite polite to me."
Seeing the young couple confess their feelings to each other, Song Qingshu could not help but cough and interrupt them. "This is not the place to talk. If you have anything to say, you can say it outside."
"Big Brother Yuan, they are?" Xiao Zhonghui asked in confusion.
"They are my old friends." Yuan Chengzhi was about to introduce the two to her when his expression suddenly became awkward. "I'm sorry, I did not have the time to ask for your names."
"My surname is Song." Song Qingshu's identity was sensitive at the moment, so it was not appropriate for him to reveal his real name.
"I am …" Xia Qingqing opened her mouth and in the end, gave a brief introduction. "My surname is Xia." She was worried that if she said her name, Yuan Chengzhi would think of something. That would be bad.
"Big Brother Song, Miss Xia, you two are truly a match made in heaven." Yuan Chengzhi could see that the relationship between the two was not ordinary and was incomparably close, so he subconsciously complimented them.
Who knew that when these words fell into the ears of the two, their expressions would become extremely strange. Song Qingshu smiled. "She and I are indeed in love."
Being said like this in front of her husband, even if she knew that her husband had lost his memory and the relationship between the two was over, Xia Qingqing was still so embarrassed that she wanted to hide in a hole.
At this time, Xiao Zhonghui had already understood why the two had come. She shook her head and said, "I appreciate your good intentions, but I cannot leave yet. If I leave, I really won't be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River. At that time, my father, mother, brothers and sisters, and even my entire family will be implicated by the Emperor because of me. I cannot harm so many people for my own selfishness."
Song Qingshu's eyes moved. He didn't expect Xiao Zhonghui to be such a saintly person. However, he thought about it again. In this era, the concept of family was very important. Especially when the Emperor had a disagreement, he would execute nine generations of the family. Her considerations were not unreasonable.
"But …" Yuan Chengzhi still wanted to dissuade her, but Xiao Zhonghui continued to say, "Don't worry, Big Brother Yuan. Although the Emperor is temporarily deceived by villains, I gave birth to Prince Jin for the Emperor. Because of this kindness, he will not do anything to our family. When the case is investigated, we will naturally be able to give justice to our family."
Song Qingshu frowned his eyebrows. This case involved many forces. It was not simply a case of rebellion. However, he didn't have any strong evidence. He estimated that Xiao Zhonghui would not believe it.
"What should we do now?" Xia Qingqing looked at him with a worried face.
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and said, "It depends on them to decide. We came to save them, we can't just tie them up and take them away."
At this time, Xiao Zhonghui said, "I won't leave for the time being, but Big Brother Yuan is different. You can go with them first."
Yuan Chengzhi shook his head: "No, I'll stay here with you."
Xiao Zhonghui was anxious: "My identity is special, they won't embarrass me, but you …" She didn't finish her words, but the meaning was already obvious.
Yuan Chengzhi was still firm: "As long as I recover in two days, this cell can't hold me at all. At that time, I can leave whenever I want."
Seeing the two of them affectionately being a pair of mandarin ducks, Song Qingshu couldn't help but look at Xia Qingqing on the side. Who knew that she was also looking at him.
"Since they have made up their minds, let's go." Seeing that the two of them had such deep feelings, Xia Qingqing was relieved.
"I still have something to ask them." Song Qingshu remembered the purpose of coming this time. He stepped forward and asked, "Miss Xiao, do you know a person named Murong Jingyue?"
"Murong Jingyue?" Xiao Zhonghui looked confused. "I've never heard of him."
This answer was not unexpected. Song Qingshu continued to ask: "Then have you noticed that anyone in the palace has been acting strangely in the past two years?" He and Zhao Min analyzed that if Murong Jingyue wasn't hiding in the court, then it was very likely that he was hiding in the palace.
"Acting strangely?" Xiao Zhonghui frowned in thought and suddenly thought of something. "Speaking of which, there really is such a person."
"Who is it?" Song Qingshu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
Xiao Zhonghui opened her mouth and was about to answer when there was suddenly an alarm not far away: "We found the body of a prison guard. Someone has snuck in. Hurry, hurry, hurry, go in and see the situation." As soon as the voice fell, a flurry of footsteps rushed in.
"Brother Song, let's go, or else it'll be too late." Xia Qingqing hurriedly pulled on Song Qingshu's arm.
Song Qingshu wanted to ask again, but Xia Qingqing hurriedly said: "They're still here. We'll have the chance to ask again in the future. Let's leave this place first."
Song Qingshu thought about it and agreed. If they continued to delay, they would come face to face with Liao's soldiers. At that time, it would be hard to avoid a battle. Although he wasn't afraid, the chain reaction would lead to martial law in Shangjing. If they alarmed Murong Jingyue who was hiding in the dark, it would be terrible. After all, that fellow was as sly as a fox. It wasn't easy to catch his tail, but if they scared him away, who knew where they could find him next time.
After analyzing the pros and cons, Song Qingshu hurriedly bade farewell to the two and ran out with Xia Qingqing through a wooden window. Yuan Chengzhi took the opportunity to return to his cell and put on the shackles again. As Song Qingshu attracted most of the attention, no one noticed that he had left.
Icy Snow had been waiting at the secret base of the laundry yard. When she saw that only the two of them had returned, she couldn't help but be startled: "You didn't rescue him?"
"Yes and no." Xia Qingqing shook her head and roughly explained what happened just now. Icy Snow listened enviously and said, "The two of them are willing to live and die together. This relationship is really stronger than gold."
Song Qingshu snorted in dissatisfaction: "If you were captured, I could do it too."
Icy Snow shook her head slowly: "I understand your feelings for me, but to live and die together …" She paused for a moment before continuing: "If you really live and die together with me, what will happen to all your female friends? I'm afraid even Qingqing won't let me go. "
"Sister Snow ~" Xia Qingqing stomped her feet in embarrassment after being teased by Icy Snow.
Song Qingshu was also a little embarrassed. He was shouldering too many responsibilities now, and it was indeed difficult for him to live and die together with a woman.
However, when he saw the faint smile on Icy Snow's face, he felt a little angry. He walked up to her and carried her horizontally: "We have been separated for too long. Our love has faded a little. It seems that we need to do something to replenish it."
