Upon hearing her words, Song Qingshu turned around and said in a flat tone, "Dragon King, you probably don't understand your current situation. What right do you have to negotiate with me?"
"I …" Taitish was momentarily at a loss for words. But she reacted quickly and replied, "Is it possible for me to pretend to be Tang Kuo and help you deal with so many government affairs?"
Song QingShu was stunned. Indeed, Taitish, who had lost all her trump cards, didn't have the capital to negotiate with him. But now that she had accomplished her mission in Tang Kuo Bian's position, she had sufficiently proven her worth. This put him in a difficult position.
"You did a good job, but it's not irreplaceable. If worse comes to worst, I'll let Wanyan Ping take your place." Song Qingshu snorted. He had to suppress this woman's arrogance, or else she would become cocky.
"You can indeed find someone to replace me, but that will waste several months of your time, and what you lack the most is time. Moreover, this is a crucial time for the Southern Song Dynasty's northern expedition. Are you willing to take the risk?" Taitish was not to be outdone.
"Don't forget that you've been poisoned by me. Your life is in my hands at any moment." Reminded Song Qingshu. At the same time, he secretly wondered if her courage and vision had improved after being the number one expert of the Jin Kingdom for so long.
"You won't kill me." Taitish stood there gracefully without the slightest bit of concern.
Song Qingshu was stunned. "Where does this mysterious confidence of yours come from?"
"Because you are a lecher!" A blush flashed across Taitish's beautiful and indescribable face.
"You're very confident in your looks," sneered Song Qingshu.
Taitish didn't answer and just glanced at him. The former number one beauty of the martial arts world was undoubtedly confident in her looks.
"I don't deny that I'm fond of beauties or that I'm soft-hearted. But when it's time to kill, I'm never careless." Song Qingshu said emotionlessly. The temperature in the room instantly dropped by several degrees.
Taitish's heart skipped a beat. Because of the opponent's aura, she felt like a small boat on a turbulent sea, and even breathing was a little difficult. At the same time, the resentful souls of Wanyan Liang, Changsheng King, and the others seemed to be flying around and whispering in her ears from time to time, sending chills all over her body as if her soul had been frozen.
"After all, we've been cooperating happily. Do you really have to say such things to hurt our relationship?" Although Taj-tish had always been blunt with men, that was only because she did not think it was necessary. When she thought it was necessary, back in Da Xing Mansion, under the name of Lady Peach Blossom, she had bewitched countless princes and grandsons who worshipped under her skirt.
Hearing her suddenly speaking to him in a resentful and reproachful tone, Song Qingshu couldn't help but be startled. But soon after, he smiled and said, "That's right. The Dragon King is not a little girl who hasn't seen the world. I'm the one who has fallen behind. Can I change my clothes now?"
Taitish had just heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the first half of his sentence, but her smile instantly froze when she heard the latter half. She was also very depressed. After such a long time, he had come back to the same topic.
Just as she was at a loss of what to do, Song Qingshu turned his head and said, "You can change your clothes. I won't peep."
Seeing that he had suddenly become so gentlemanly, a complicated look flashed across Taitish's face. Eventually, she silently walked to the side, opened a wardrobe, and took out a dress. Because she often disguised herself, she had specially prepared a few spare clothes in the study.
After a moment of rustling, Taitish walked over with a slightly flushed face. "I'm done. I'll go find you a set of Tang Kuo Bian's clothes." Just now, she had been worried that he would peep at her and had been vigilantly watching his back. But who knew that he hadn't turned his head at all. She rejoiced, but at the same time, she secretly blamed herself for her unnecessary action. Given his temperament, if he really wanted to peep at her, why would he do it in secret?
"There's no need to find another one. The one you were wearing just now is good enough." Song Qingshu smiled.
Taitish's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly said, "But …" As a result, the other party directly grabbed the clothes she had just taken off and put them on in the blink of an eye.
"It smells pretty good." Song Qingshu took a sniff and commented with a serious expression.
Taitish glared at him. "How can you wear women's clothes? Aren't you afraid of bad luck?" This was a taboo in ancient times. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang wouldn't have brought a woman's clothes to Sima Yi's frontline to provoke him, infuriating the Cao Wei soldiers to the point where they wanted to fight.
Song Qingshu shook his head. "I'm not particular about such things. A woman's fragrant clothes smell much better than a man's. Besides, this is Tang Kuo Bian's clothes."
Then, he suddenly changed the topic. "But you really have to be careful in the future. Since you're pretending to be Tang Kuo Bian, don't sprinkle any fragrant powder on your body. Otherwise, an observant person might really be able to see through your disguise."
"I … I understand." Taitish felt gloomy. She was obviously the one who was taken advantage of. Why did she end up being scolded instead? Suddenly, she was startled. Why was she so easily at a loss like a little girl in front of him?
At this moment, Song Qingshu had already changed his clothes and put on his mask. He directly opened the door and walked out. At the same time, he beckoned to her. Taitish blushed and hurriedly followed him.
"Hey, wasn't Milord the only one in the room just now? Where did that purple-robed woman come from?"
"You don't even recognize her. She's the widow of the Changsheng King, Madam Peach Blossom. She was once the most beautiful woman in the capital. I heard that even His Majesty was infatuated with her. Who would've thought that Milord would have such a good time."
"Milord dares to touch a woman that His Majesty likes?"
"That's why the two of them were sneaking around. I reckon that they built a tunnel to enter and exit Milord's study. That's why you don't know how she got in."
"I see. Our Milord is truly blessed with women. He has the number one beauty of the Jin Kingdom as his wife and the peerlessly beautiful Madam Peach Blossom as his lover. Tsk tsk tsk …"
"Lower your voice, are you tired of living?"
… …
When they came out of the study, the guards outside looked at Taitish in astonishment. After all, there was clearly no one else in the study. If not for the fact that they knew of the relationship between Taitish and their Milord, they might have thought that there was an assassin.
Even though the guards had intentionally lowered their voices, Song QingShu and Taj-tish were experts with sharp ears and eyes. They heard every word of their conversation clearly.
Hearing these people privately ridiculing her, a trace of frost appeared on Taitish's cold and elegant face. Just as she was about to flare up, Song Qingshu grabbed her and said, "Enough, entering the palace is more important."
Taitish's face was gloomy. After exiting the residence, she hatefully said, "This bunch of gossipy bastards. When I return, I will send them to the frontlines and have them fight against the Song people!"
These people were usually extremely respectful in front of her, not even daring to breathe loudly. Now that she was being ridiculed by them after changing her attire, how could the cold and arrogant Taitish endure it?
Song Qingshu, on the other hand, was full of smiles. "They are men, after all. What we talk about is wine and women. It isn't easy to train these trusted aides. For my sake, don't bother with them."
