Yelu Hongji snorted and interrupted Xiao Feng, "The Golden Snake Camp knew that they were about to form an alliance with Great Liao, but they still took in that traitor Yelu Qi.
"Even if the Golden Snake Camp has ulterior motives, now is not a good time to punish them. Wait until we destroy the Jin Kingdom, then we can invite other countries to attack them together. After all, the Golden Snake Camp has been growing in power for the past few years, and all the surrounding countries feel threatened …" Xiao Feng was still trying to persuade them.
Outside the window, Song Qingshu secretly sighed in relief. Fortunately, Xiao Feng was not in power in Liao, or else it would be a big problem. Xiao Feng was really something. He had saved him time and time again, but he still schemed against them.
Of course, he also knew that his blame was unreasonable. After all, this was official business. If Xiao Feng did not think for his country, then he would not be Xiao Feng. As the saying goes, everyone has their own master, so there was nothing to criticize.
To Song Qingshu's surprise, Yelu Hongji did not refute. Instead, he suddenly nodded and said, "My sworn brother is right. Thank you for your hard work these days …"
What followed was another joyous and harmonious scene. Outside the window, Song Qingshu was a little dazed. He thought that Yelu Hongji was really moved by him. After Xiao Feng left, Yelu Hongji immediately stopped smiling and said, "Prince Wei, I didn't expect you to be right!"
"Your Majesty is wise ~" Yelu Yixin walked out from behind the screen. He had hidden himself very well, and his aura was also covered perfectly. Xiao Feng did not notice him.
Only now did Song QingShu realize that Yelu Hongji's performance just now was all an act. He couldn't help but lament that he had underestimated the wisdom of the ancient people. Although Yelu Hongji was a famous muddle-headed person in history, he had been an Emperor for a long time, he still had the shrewdness and means necessary.
"I am so angry. I shared the country with him, but he still had evil intentions!" Yelu Hongji became angrier as he spoke. He smashed another teacup.
Yelu Yixin timely said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It just so happens that Xiao Xiama's sister is in the palace today. Your Majesty can go and see her."
"Hmph, Xiao Xiama colluded with Yelu Qi to rebel, I haven't even settled the score with him yet, but he's smart enough to offer his sister to me." Yelu Hongji naturally knew what Xiao Xiama was planning.
"It's rare for the Prince Consort to mend his ways. Moreover, the Prince Consort's younger sister is famous for her beauty. When she heard that her brother had committed a crime, she took the initiative to forgive him. If Your Majesty wants to punish someone, why don't you vent your anger on that beauty?" Yelu Yixin's words had a double meaning. Song Qingshu, who was outside the door, was dumbfounded. He thought that these grassland countries were indeed much more open in this regard. How could the officials of the Han dynasty dare to talk about this with the emperor?
Sure enough, Yelu Hongji was tempted, "Hmph, I'm going to see what this legendary beauty looks like. If you're lying, I'll punish you and Xiao Xiamo together!"
Yelu Yixin hurriedly said, "How could this subject dare to deceive Your Majesty? I guarantee Your Majesty will be satisfied." Outside the door, Song Qingshu frowned, wondering why Yelu Nanxian's father was like this. How did he give birth to such a pure and refined daughter?
Soon, Yelu Yixin bid farewell to the emperor. Watching him leave, Song Qingshu wanted to take this opportunity to test him, but Yelu Hongji was also heading towards Shen Bijun's palace. He couldn't help but hesitate, but in the end, he followed Yelu Hongji.
If he didn't know Shen Bijun, it wouldn't have mattered, but the two of them had been together for so long. She had even risked her life to visit him when he was' injured '. Not to mention, he had promised her father to save Shen Bijun back in the Shen garden.
Song QingShu took out the jade bracelet from his bosom and sighed. In the end, he still decided to help her first.
Meanwhile, Shen Bijun was feeling uneasy in the palace. She had been in the palace for so long, but she hadn't even seen the emperor's face. She didn't know how she was going to survive in the palace.
When she thought about how she was going to avenge the Shen family, she couldn't help but be at a loss. Was her choice really wise? Although she was a young miss who never left her home, she was still a member of an official's family. She knew that Liao was like a sun setting over the western mountains. It was difficult for him to even protect himself. Did she really have the ability to help him get revenge?
But there was nothing else she could do. Now that even the Southern Song court wanted to kill her, she was destined to be abandoned by her country. The only person she could rely on was Liao.
At this time, the voice she had heard that night suddenly appeared in her mind. But as soon as her expectation rose, it was extinguished by her reason. "Song Qingshu and I are not related in any way. Why would he take such a great risk to help me? And I heard that he recently became the Prince of Qi in the Song Kingdom. Why would he offend an entire country for a woman like me?"
In the past, when she was in Shanyin, she was still a bit conceited about her appearance, but during this period of time, all her pride was shattered to nothing. It made her realize how worthless things like beauty were in the eyes of those in power. For the sake of power, fame, and so on, they could sacrifice her without hesitation.
Just as she was feeling sorrowful, she suddenly heard the rising and falling voices of 'Long live the Emperor'. She couldn't help but nervously stand up, her heart thumping fiercely. She didn't know how she should face the man who was about to enter.
For some reason, she suddenly wanted to retreat. She felt that she had been too hasty in agreeing to Yelu Yixin's request to enter the palace. But she also knew that there was no room for regret.
Yelu Hongji quickly entered the palace. Shen Bijun copied the surrounding palace maids and bowed. She was so nervous that she didn't even dare to look at him. She only dared to stare at the pair of feet on the ground.
"Raise your head." Seeing Shen Bijun's beautiful figure, Yelu Hongji was seventy percent satisfied. He wanted to see her face even more. He was the Emperor. There was naturally no need for any tactful methods. He could directly give an order.
A sliver of humiliation flashed through Shen Bijun's heart. It had to be known that she had once been a famed beauty in Shanyin City. All the young masters of the aristocracy who wanted to see her had to expend a great deal of effort. But now, she had to raise her head like a piece of merchandise for a man to examine.
But she had no other choice. She could only slowly raise her head, revealing a charming face that caused Yelu Hongji's breathing to become a bit heavier.
He had heard Xiao Xiamo and Yelu Yixin describe how beautiful she was. In truth, he hadn't paid them much attention. After all, as the Emperor, what kind of woman hadn't he seen? Especially since his Empress was a devastatingly beautiful woman. He didn't believe that this woman could be more beautiful than his Empress.
But when Shen Bijun raised her head, Yelu Hongji immediately realized he was wrong. This woman was more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen, even his most beautiful empress was slightly inferior in appearance. Of course, the empress' natural charm was not something the young girl in front of him could compare to. All in all, the two of them were better at winning than the plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums.
"All of you, leave!" A ball of fire rose in Yelu Hongji's lower abdomen. He waved his hand at the eunuchs and palace maids in the room.
