Azhu did not directly answer and looked at the surrounding taijian and maids. She had an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating.
Song Qingshu waved his hand in understanding, indicating for these people to leave first. Then he said with interest: "Guniang Azhu, can you speak now?"
Azhu showed hesitation. After a long silence, she suddenly took a deep breath and knelt down again as if she had made a final decision: "Emperor, please forgive Azhu's death sentence."
Song Qingshu's brows furrowed slightly: "What death sentence do you have to be forgiven, quickly get up."
"His Majesty doesn't forgive A 'Zhu's death sentence, A' Zhu doesn't dare to get up." A 'Zhu still respectfully knelt on the ground, as if she had really done something wrong.
"All right, zhen will forgive you," Song Qingshu naturally knew that this was her way of retreating in order to advance. However, in order to know the secret in her mouth, he did not mind playing along with her.
Azhu finally raised her head but did not get up: "Reporting to Emperor, this commoner girl wants to make a deal with Emperor."
"Deal, you have guts." Song Qingshu did not comment and snorted faintly.
Only then did A 'Zhu unhurriedly say, "Just now His Majesty promised to forgive my innocence."
Song QingShu also secretly admired A 'Zhu's calmness. It should be known that in this world, even a grown man may tremble in fear when he suddenly sees the emperor, but she, a young girl, can calmly talk about conditions, it is really rare.
"You are very calculative," Song Qingshu faked a cold snort, "What do you want to trade?"
"I want to beg Emperor to let Xiao dage go," Azhu said crisply. Although her voice was soft, it was filled with determination.
Song Qingshu thought that it was as he expected: "Xiao Feng has committed a great crime, you want to let him go? You're just a woman. What kind of bargaining chip can you offer? "
A 'Zhu raised her smooth chin, her face in high spirits: "Is His Majesty's life enough?"
Song Qingshu's eyes focused and he suddenly sat up to stare at her. Azhu did not show any fear as she stared back at him. After a long time, Song Qingshu disdainfully curled his lips: "If Azhu guniang had Xiao Feng's skills, zhen would still believe you. However, you are just a weak woman, what ability do you have to use zhen's life as a bargaining chip?"
Facing the other's cold tone, Azhu unhurriedly explained: "I naturally do not have that ability, but what ability do you have to use zhen's life as a bargaining chip?"
Song Qingshu frowned slightly: "What you mean?"
Azhu shook her head: "If I say it clearly, I will not to use. As long as Your Majesty agrees to release Big Brother Xiao after hearing everything, I will tell this existence that threatens Your Majesty's life. As the saying goes, a ruler does not go back on his word. I believe that as long as I confirm what I said, Your Majesty will not go back on his word. "
Song Qingshu was very curious about her bargaining chip. In fact, he already had a faint guess, but he needed to confirm it. As for agreeing to release Xiao Feng … … negotiations were a game between two people of equal strength, and how could a sheep have the qualifications to sit at the same table as a lion?
Seeing him agree, Azhu let out a sigh of relief. She stood up and said: "This matter is confidential. In order to prevent eavesdropping, I ask that Emperor allow me to come closer to speak."
Song Qingshu was startled, thinking that Azhu was not planning on imitating Jing Ke to assassinate Qin. He couldn't help but smile and reply: "Okay ~" With his current cultivation, even if Azhu wanted to plot against him, she would not be able to harm a single hair on his body.
Song QingShu was startled, he thought that A 'Zhu was not planning to imitate Jing Ke to assassinate the Qin Emperor, right? He could not help but give a faint smile as he answered, "Alright ~" Based on his current level of cultivation, even if A' Zhu wanted to plot against him, she would not be able to harm a single strand of his hair.
Azhu lifted the hem of her skirt and slowly walked over. When she came to his side, she bent down and whispered in his ear: "Reporting to Emperor, the last time I was summoned to the palace for a banquet, I accidentally discovered that the Empress seemed … …"
Song Qingshu's heart moved: "What happened to the Empress?"
After waiting for a long time and not receiving a reply, Song Qingshu could not help but raise his head in curiosity. He found that Azhu's mouth was wide open, her face full of shock.
"What happened to you?" Song Qingshu frowned.
"No … … Nothing … …" A trace of panic flashed through Azhu's eyes. She hurriedly stood up and said nervously, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at the fu, so I will take my leave first. I hope … … hope that Emperor can forgive me."
"Didn't you want to use the secret to make a deal with Zhen?" Song Qingshu said lightly, "I just mentioned the Empress, what happened to the Empress?"
"No … … What, I just wanted to say that the Empress is very beautiful." Azhu unconsciously retreated. Even though she pretended to be calm, her panicked words and incoherent answers deeply betrayed her current chaotic mood.
After answering, Azhu lowered her head and wanted to walk out. However, when she reached the door, she suddenly saw a corner of the dragon robe in front of her and had to stop, "Does Emperor have any other orders?"
Acutely feeling the trembling in her voice, he could even feel that her body was involuntarily trembling under her dress. Song Qingshu's voice became even more indifferent, "Are you very afraid?"
"No … … I'm not afraid." Azhu quickly responded. It was a pity that even a three year old child would not believe her with her current words and expression.
In reality, Azhu was not someone who could not maintain her composure. It was a pity that she had suddenly discovered a secret that could shock the world. No matter how calm she was, she could not act as if nothing had happened.
"Not afraid, but I can feel that your body is trembling?" As Song Qingshu spoke, he lifted a strand of hair from her temple, "Look, even your hair is trembling."
"Emperor is worrying too much." Azhu forced a smile. If it was a normal time, such an intimate action would have caused Azhu to change color. But right now, she did not care at all. She just wanted to leave the imperial palace safely.
"You just mentioned the Empress," Song Qingshu blocked in front of her, not showing any intention of moving out of the way, "Did you find that she is not the real Empress?"
Azhu's expression changed and she hurriedly said, "Emperor is joking, how could the Empress not be the real Empress?"
Noticing her expression, Song Qingshu knew that he had not guessed wrong, "I heard that Azhu guniang is a master of disguise, you must have a way to see if others are in disguise, am I right?"
Azhu had a shocked expression and reflexively retorted, "Azhu just likes to play with disguises, how can she be considered a master of disguise, much less see if others are in disguise."
"Is that so?" Song Qingshu smiled and did not deny it, "Just now, your expression suddenly changed, did you see something on my face?"
Hearing his words, Azhu felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart. Her legs became soft and she could not stand straight, but she still made one last effort, "Emperor … … what is Emperor saying, why … … why can't I understand anything?"
Song Qingshu reached out to lift her chin. Looking at that face filled with panic, he couldn't help giving a sigh, "Azhu guniang should know, smart people in this world often do not live long … …"
