Song Qingshu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly leaned over: "I hope you can forgive me."
Zhao Min rolled her eyes and said: "You can first sit and watch Yelu Hongji make his move, and then rescue him from the prison. Isn't that good? Not only will this help the brotherhood, but you may also be able to subdue a powerful general. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone? "
Song Qingshu hesitated: "But what if Yelu Hongji doesn't just imprison him, but kill him?"
Zhao Min shook her head: "Based on my understanding of Yelu Hongji's character, he won't choose to kill Xiao Feng. First, Xiao Feng is his sworn brother and also the King of the Southern Courtyard of Liao. These years, he is the God of War in the hearts of the Khitans. Killing him would cause too much noise. Second, with his personality, he will most likely lead his army to the Golden Snake Camp and force you to hand over Yelu Qi and Xiao Ban He. Of course, if he wins, it's fine. But if he is defeated by you, he will fly into a rage out of humiliation and Xiao Feng may really die. "
"The way of thinking of these people in power is really traceable." Song Qingshu couldn't help but sigh. During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Tian Feng also persuaded Yuan Shao not to be imprisoned for the Southern Expedition. Then, Yuan Shao suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Guandu. The jailer excitedly told him that he could be released. Tian Feng lamented that if Yuan Shao won the Battle of Guandu and was in a good mood, he would really be released. Now that Yuan Shao was defeated, he would really be dead. What happened later was just as he expected.
"Listening to the princess' words is better than reading for ten years." Song Qingshu bowed, his mood suddenly became cheerful.
Zhao Min smiled slightly: "You are just too concerned. Speaking of which, how are you getting along with the Eldest Miss of the Shen family?"
"Why do you sound so weird …" Song Qingshu hesitated and didn't tell them about how he saved her from Yelu Hongji last night. After all, he didn't want to arouse the jealousy of the two girls. In order to divert their attention, he hurriedly mentioned the mission about the Empress.
After listening to his description, Zhao Min fell into deep thought. "No wonder Yelu Yixin wanted a musician to go in. It was to get close to the empress …" She suddenly thought of something and looked at him suspiciously. "The people in the palace let a man like you into the palace? No reaction at all? "
"Of course I did …" Song Qingshu gloomily recounted his visit to the worship room, making Zhao Min burst into laughter. Even Icy Snow couldn't help but smile.
After laughing enough, Zhao Min continued, "Since Yelu Yixin wanted to make sure you went in as a man and let you get close to the Empress, he obviously wanted you to hook up with the Empress." Song Qingshu frowned. "As the master of the harem, the Empress has a high status. Why would she take a fancy to a mere musician? Why is Yelu Yixin so confident that Zhao Weiyi can complete the mission?"
Zhao Min spread her hands. "I am also very curious, but you need to investigate this yourself."
"Looks like it's time to go to the Empress." Song Qingshu nodded. Xiao Zhonghui also said that if there was a suspicious person in the palace, it would be the Empress. If he wanted to find out what secrets she had, he had to see the Empress personally.
"By the way, I heard that the Empress is a peerless beauty. When the time comes, our First Young Master Song won't fall into her honey trap and forget about his duties, will he?" Zhao Min suddenly moved her face closer and said in an incomparably mocking tone.
Smelling the elegant fragrance coming from her body, Song Qingshu's heart couldn't help but sway. "No matter how beautiful that Empress is, can she be more beautiful than the princess and Sister Icy Snow? I can even control myself in front of you. How can I fall for her beauty trap?"
Icy Snow blushed. "Don't drag me into your flirting. I don't dare to compare my looks to the Princess's younger sister."
Zhao Min immediately blushed and said angrily, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Whoever says that you are not as beautiful as me must be blind …"
Looking at the two women quarreling, Song Qingshu didn't think that the harmony between them was fake. For Icy Snow, she was using the identity of Lady Hu and would definitely not reveal their relationship in this life. For Zhao Min, there would be no conflict of interest between her and Icy Snow at all. Instead, because of their ambiguous relationship, she and Icy Snow were in the same boat.
"It's better than the harem being in a mess." Song Qingshu wiped his cold sweat. Because the situation in the palace was changing rapidly, he didn't dare to go out for long. After bidding farewell to the two women, he returned to the palace.
However, as soon as he returned to the palace, a palace maid happened to be standing at his door. Seeing him return, she immediately said with dissatisfaction, "Where have you been?"
Song Qingshu was taken aback. "Sister is looking for me?" Although Zhao Weiyi was older than the other party, he could tell that the other party was an "elder" in the palace at a glance. As the saying went, it was easy to meet the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with the little devil. Calling her sister would avoid some unnecessary trouble.
"Who else can I look for if not you?" The palace maid snorted angrily. "Zhao Weiyi, Her Majesty the Empress invites you over."
"Empress?" Song Qingshu was really taken aback. He was just worrying about how to stand out in the next palace banquet to attract the Empress' attention. Who knew that she would come looking for him.
"Hurry up. We have been delayed for a long time." There was dissatisfaction in the palace maid's tone. She turned and led the way in front.
Song Qingshu had no choice but to follow. At the same time, he secretly thought, Why would the Empress look for me? Logically speaking, Zhao Weiyi and the Empress don't know each other. Why would the high and mighty Empress summon a zither player who just entered the palace?
"How do I address you, sister?" In order to probe for information, Song Qingshu could only start with this palace maid.
"My surname is Shan," the palace maid replied coldly.
"Hello, Sister Shan. Why is Her Majesty suddenly looking for me?" As he spoke, Song Qingshu took out a piece of gold jewelry and handed it over.
Palace Maid Shan took the jewelry, and her expression became better. "Her Majesty is an immortal-like person. How can we, as servants, speculate about her intentions? However, you do not have to be perturbed. It should be a good thing that Her Majesty is looking for you today. "
"Good thing?" Song Qingshu's expression was strange. He thought, if the real Zhao Weiyi was here, he would probably pee his pants in fear. He had just entered the palace and was summoned by the Empress. Who knew if he would accidentally lose his head?
However, Song Qingshu was skilled and bold. Seeing that he could not get any useful information, he calmly walked towards the bedchambers of the palace.
Along the way, Palace Maid Shan led him to remote places with few people. Song QingShu couldn't help but become suspicious. "Could it be that the Empress' invitation is just a pretense, and someone wants to harm me?"
But his worry did not last long. His vision suddenly brightened. A grand palace stood in front of him. With his familiarity with the palace, he quickly recognized that a palace of this scale could only be used by the Empress.
What puzzled him was that they did not come to the main door of the bedchambers, but walked in from a side door.
"How sneaky. One look and I can tell he's up to no good." Song Qingshu also became vigilant.
He did not know if it was because Palace Maid Shan led them to a remote place or for some other reason, but they did not encounter any other palace maids along the way.
Even Song QingShu felt his hair stand on end. He felt as if he had fallen into a huge trap. Suddenly, he caught a whiff of a sweet fragrance that smelled like orchid and musk. It turned out that the two of them had entered a side hall.
"Her Majesty, I have brought Zhao Weiyi." Palace Maid Shan knelt down and bowed.
"Got it. You can leave now." A sweet and charming voice rang out softly.
