Hearing the other party's casual denial, Xiao Eleventh Lang couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "He entered the Palace with you and often goes in and out of your side. How could you not know?"
Shen Bijun's expression turned cold. She said lightly, "If I really knew him, it would be easy for him to save me with his martial arts. Why would I always be manipulated by you?"
Xiao Eleventh Lang started and thought that what she said made sense, so he didn't say anything else.
After Song Qingshu charged out, he didn't leave the Royal Palace. Instead, he headed straight for the empress' bedroom. Since someone had been sent to capture him, it was clear that Su Quan would be in greater danger.
By the time he reached the bedroom, he found that it was already empty. There were only some guards standing guard, but there was no sign of Su Quan. From the whispers of the serving girls and eunuchs outside, he learned that the empress had been taken away by the guards. As for where they had taken her, he wasn't sure.
Up until now, Song Qingshu was completely dumbfounded. He didn't understand how the matter between him and Su Quan had been exposed. It had to be known that he had been extremely careful every time he went in and out of Su Quan's bedroom. No one had discovered him.
Could it be that Yelu Yixin has made a move? A guess popped up in Song Qingshu's mind, but he couldn't be sure. After hesitating for a while, he decided to go ask Zhao Min first. After all, she had always been well-informed, and he lacked information at the moment. He needed to understand the current situation first.
He ran out of the Palace without stopping and hurried to the secret stronghold of the Ruyang Palace. Zhao Min and Icy Snow were anxiously discussing something. Seeing him return, they couldn't help but let out a great sigh of relief.
"Sister Xue, I told you that with his abilities, he wouldn't be in any danger. You still had to worry about him." Zhao Min giggled and pushed Icy Snow beside her.
Icy Snow couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Just now, who was so anxious like an ant on a hot pan? Why is it all my business now?"
"Sister Xue!" Zhao Min scolded lightly. She stole a glance at Song Qingshu, her beautiful face even more alluring.
"Do you already know what happened in the palace?" Seeing the expressions of the two women, Song Qingshu hurriedly asked.
"The case of the 'Hui Xin Courtyard Ci' is so explosive. Although the palace has tried its best to suppress this matter, how can such a thing be hidden?" Zhao Min showed a trace of a teasing expression. "Now, all of Shangjing is discussing who the musician, Zhao Weiyi, is that person who could seduce the beautiful Empress."
"The news has spread so quickly?" Song QingShu was astonished. The speed at which the news spread was too fast. If someone said that there was no one behind the scenes adding fuel to the fire, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
At the side, Icy Snow revealed an odd expression. "Qing Shu, even I have to admit that you're really good at dealing with women. It's only been a few days …"
"It's not what you think!" Seeing that Icy Snow was also gossiping, Song Qingshu couldn't help but be speechless. He had no choice but to explain the relationship between Su Quan and him.
The twists and turns in the story made the two pairs of beautiful eyes widen. Zhao Min said with emotion, "Even Empress Liao is your woman. My admiration for you is really endless like a surging river."
Song Qingshu was speechless. He had told Zhao Min this classic line from a movie in his previous life before, but he didn't expect her to learn it so quickly.
"Don't tell me that one day, even the empress of our Mongolian Great Khan has a relationship with you too?" Zhao Min sized him up suspiciously.
Song Qingshu became more and more depressed. "Don't make me look like a planter, okay?"
Zhao Min curled her lips. "I don't care. Anyway, you're not allowed to bring it to Ruyang Mansion. If I find out that you have something going on with my concubines or sisters-in-law one day, I'll castrate you."
Song Qingshu only felt a little cold down there. He hurriedly changed the topic. "We've gone too far. What happened in the palace today?"
Zhao Min stopped smiling and said seriously, "I heard that someone in the palace reported to the emperor that the empress had an affair with the musician Zhao Weiyi. Yelu Hongji was so furious that he killed a large number of people involved in the case, including those who failed to perform their duties in the Greeting Office …"
Hearing that Eunuch Gao committed suicide to escape punishment, Song Qingshu showed a strange expression. "He was clearly Yelu Yixin's man. I don't know whether he accepted his death voluntarily or 'committed suicide'."
Zhao Min snorted coldly. "Thinking back to when Yelu Yixin asked you to find a way to get close to the empress, it's clear that he was the mastermind behind all of this."
Song Qingshu said with some annoyance, "Ah, I was really careless. I thought that his plan couldn't be carried out before I took action. I didn't expect that he would directly frame me."
"It's not really a frame," Zhao Min said with some joy. "You do have an affair with the empress."
Song Qingshu looked depressed. "Can you stop being sarcastic?" "Who told you to be so obsessed with women in the palace that you forgot your business?" Zhao Min snorted coldly. Clearly, she was dissatisfied.
Song Qingshu opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't explain. After all, he was indeed careless here.
"Forget it. If I cause your little lover to die, you will hate me for the rest of your life." Zhao Min suddenly smiled and took the initiative to break the awkwardness in the room. "According to the information I received, your little lover is now in the Heavenly Prison of Yili Courtyard. She is being interrogated by Yelu Yixin, the Privy Commissioner of Zhibei Courtyard, and Zhang Xiaojie, the Privy Commissioner of Tongzhi Courtyard. Although the two of them don't seem to have any relationship, according to the information of the Ruyang Mansion, Zhang Xiaojie should be Yelu Yixin's man. Your little lover is in their hands. Even if she is pure, she will probably confess under torture, not to mention having an affair with you."
"The Heavenly Prison of Yili Bi Courtyard?" Song Qingshu stood by the window and looked in that direction. "I'm really fated with this place." He had saved Xia Qingqing's Icy Snow and Yelu Qi's Xiao Zhonghui several times.
"Do you plan to make a move today?" Zhao Min came to his side and asked.
"Yes." Song Qingshu nodded. "The longer Su Quan is in their hands, the more dangerous it will be."
"Well, we will go with you. I just want to confirm a guess in my mind." Zhao Min said thoughtfully.
Song Qingshu looked back in confusion. "What guess?"
"It's not the time to say it yet." Zhao Min shook her head.
Seeing that she was unwilling to say it, Song Qingshu couldn't force her to say it. Then, the three of them began to prepare for the prison break. Originally, he planned to go alone, but Zhao Min and Icy Snow insisted on going together. He hesitated for a while and agreed. After all, both of them were masters. Even if they couldn't help, they could at least protect themselves.
The three of them soon arrived at the periphery of Yili Courtyard. Zhao Min frowned and said, "I know you're very skilled in martial arts, but are you going to rush in and save them?"
Song Qingshu raised a small porcelain bottle in his hand. "I haven't had the chance to use the Grieving Wind Softener that I obtained from the Western Xia's First Class Hall. This time, I can make the disaster come to you."
Zhao Min was stunned. Then, she smiled and said, "I'm afraid the Western Xia people are going to be in big trouble this time."
Suddenly, Song Qingshu's expression changed. He quickly pressed the two women down and said, "Someone is coming. It's a top master!"
