Qin Hongmian's eyes widened. Li Yuanhao's voice had been imitated to perfection. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that it was someone else impersonating him.
"It's almost dawn, we have to return to the palace quickly. Otherwise, if we're seen, it won't be good." The guard outside replied. "Didn't Your Majesty just tell me to call for you at this time?"
"Oh, wait a moment." Song Qingshu reacted quickly and went along with his words. At the same time, he felt relieved. It must be known that Qin Hongmian was the princess of the Great King of Tiandu. Li Yuanhao had just killed the Mu brothers. If he humiliated his wife and family, it would cause a huge uproar once it got out.
"Yes!" The person outside walked further away, clearly considerate enough to give the Emperor enough privacy.
Song Qingshu then said to Qin Hongmian, "Lie down and pretend to sleep first. I'll send Li Yuanhao out first."
Qin Hongmian nodded. She lay down and curled up under the blanket. Song QingShu looked at her and walked over to pull the blanket down a little, revealing half of her shoulders. He then messed up her hair a little before nodding in satisfaction.
Qin Hongmian's chest rose and fell rapidly. She didn't know how to face it. In the end, she simply turned her head away. Out of sight, out of mind.
After Song Qingshu finished arranging everything, he pulled Li Yuanhao out from under the bed. After unsealing his acupuncture points, he once again used the Soul Shifting Technique to hypnotize him for a while. Then, he quietly hid behind the screen.
Li Yuanhao slowly woke up. He felt that he had experienced a very wonderful and pleasant night yesterday, but for some reason, he felt a little empty. He turned his head to look at the woman on the bed. Her shoulders were half exposed and her hair was messy. She looked like she had been ravaged by a violent storm. He couldn't help but have a strong desire to conquer her.
Seeing the beauty's flushed rosy skin on the bed, Li Yuanhao swallowed. He couldn't help but walk to the bed and stretch out his hand to play with it. Song Qingshu, who was behind the screen, frowned. Just as he was about to react, the guard's urging voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, it's almost dawn."
"Got it!" Li Yuanhao's face was gloomy. After all, he was a great ruler of a generation and could distinguish the importance of the matter. In the end, he gave up on the idea of going forward. "Beauty, wait for me to come and pamper you next time."
Leaving behind a burst of satisfied laughter, he tidied up his clothes and walked out of the room, completely not expecting that his memory had been tampered with.
After Li Yuanhao left, Song Qingshu came out from behind the screen and said, "Madam, he has left. I don't think he will come back anytime soon …"
After a pause, he continued, "What happened just now was really out of my control. I hope Madam can forgive me if I have offended you …"
Qin Hongmian interrupted him directly. With her back facing him, she ordered him to leave. "Alright, I don't want to talk about this anymore. You can leave!"
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. He had experienced too many things tonight, and it was too strange. It was hard to explain with words. "In that case, Madam, have a good rest."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. Suddenly, Qin Hongmian's faint voice came from behind him, "Wait!"
Song Qingshu turned around. "What is it, Madam?"
Qin Hongmian had already turned her face away. Her face was red and white. After a long time, she said, "Don't tell Wan 'er about what happened tonight." She didn't know how to face what happened today. If Mu Wanqing knew, how would she look at her, her mother? Moreover, the relationship between everyone would become strange.
Song Qingshu was startled. Then, he revealed a trace of a smile. "Alright, this is a secret between the two of us. We definitely won't tell anyone else."
Qin Hongmian felt that his words sounded strange. However, she didn't know what was strange about it. In her annoyance, she once again turned her back to him.
"Goodbye, Madam." Song Qingshu said his goodbyes.
Who knew that Qin Hongmian would immediately reply, "Don't come again. I don't want to see you again!"
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. "But Li Yuanhao will come again. If I don't come to help, what will you do then?"
"I …" Qin Hongmian subconsciously wanted to refute. However, she opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything. In her heart, she was very clear that if she hadn't relied on Song Qingshu's Great Soul Transfer Technique to pass this time, she would've long been consigned to eternal damnation. Moreover, there was still the unfathomable Li Qiushui and Ding Chunqiu hiding in the dark …
Song Qingshu suddenly opened his mouth and said, "If Madam can't get over it, why don't I use the Great Soul Transfer Technique on Madam and let Madam completely forget what happened today?"
Qin Hongmian hurriedly shouted, "No!" Once the words left her mouth, she was also stunned. Logically speaking, it was best to forget this matter, but why did she not want to forget it?
Noticing the faint smile in his eyes, she hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand. I'm just worried that you'll take the opportunity to do something after you've transferred my soul." Li Yuanhao's state just now was too frightening. Rather than being muddle-headed, it was better to be sober.
Song Qingshu spread his hands. "I clearly didn't say anything."
Qin Hongmian couldn't stand his gaze and turned around again.
"If that's the case, then I'll take my leave." Song Qingshu comforted her in the end. "Madam, don't let your imagination run wild. Have a good sleep. When you wake up tomorrow and see the morning sun, your mood will be better."
The other party didn't respond. He smiled and used his Qinggong to quietly leave Jietan Temple.
After returning to the guest house, Song Qingshu remembered that he had yet to see Mu Wanqing. However, thinking about it, he would be too embarrassed to see her in his current state.
After another two days, news suddenly came from the palace. The Mu brothers' younger sister had been deposed of her position as Empress and banished to the Cold Palace. The Mu brothers knew that their younger sister had fallen out of favor in the palace for many years and knew in advance that she was about to be deposed. That was why they had the idea of collaborating with the enemy and committing treason.
When this news came out, the onlookers who previously thought that the Mu brothers would not commit treason became uncertain. There were even many people who applauded Li Yuanhao's wisdom and martial prowess.
"It seems that no matter which dynasty it is, the onlookers are the easiest to incite." Song Qingshu sighed with emotion.
As for Lin Pingzhi, he had done a meritorious service by reporting the Mu brothers' treason and was rewarded by the Emperor. Not only did he regain his freedom, but he was also rewarded with a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry.
Knowing that Lin Pingzhi was safe and sound, Song Qingshu had just breathed a sigh of relief. However, another matter immediately made his heart hang in suspense. It turned out that a messenger suddenly came from the palace and informed that the Princess and the Crown Prince would be married in two days. Tomorrow, the future Crown Princess would enter the palace to meet the Emperor.
"Big Brother Song, why is this happening?" Yelu Nanxian had just relaxed some time ago. Now that she learned that the marriage was inevitable, she suddenly panicked.
Song Qingshu said in a low voice, "I think it's because of the recent turmoil in the Xixia. Li Yuanhao wants to use this to stabilize the situation in the court. At the same time, he wants to numb the Crown Prince's clique to prevent them from overreacting. Therefore, he made a big fuss about this marriage."
Song Qingshu walked over and held Yelu Nanxian's cold little hand. He said apologetically, "I really didn't expect this kind of change. I miscalculated."
Yelu Nanxian shook her head, "If it wasn't for Big Brother Song, I would have been married to the Crown Prince. How could I live a happy life like this?"
Seeing that she was forcing a smile, but her voice was a bit melancholy, Song Qingshu hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't let you marry Brother Ning. At worst, I'll elope with you."
Hearing the word elope, Yelu Nanxian's little face turned red, "What elope? It's so unpleasant to hear."
Song Qingshu gently put his arm around her flexible waist, "That's just the last step. I need to think of a way to maximize the benefits. The key is that we don't have much time …"
Yelu Nanxian's heart was moved. She raised her chin, her eyes were bright and mesmerizing, "Why don't we try the method you used in Liao and replace Li Yuanhao?"
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly, "I've thought of that, but I need an opportunity to go to the Imperial Palace and familiarize myself with Li Yuanhao's people. I also need to train some confidants. Only then can I successfully replace him."
"An opportunity …" Yelu Nanxian suddenly said excitedly, "I have an idea!"
"What idea?" Looking at her glowing body, Song Qingshu couldn't help but be curious.
"Didn't you mention before that Li Yuanhao is very lecherous?" Yelu Nanxian said with a smile.
"That guy is indeed lecherous." Song Qingshu nodded. In fact, all the great and talented men of the past dynasties had this problem, so it wasn't really a black mark.
Yelu Nanxian suddenly spun in a circle, her skirt fluttering in the wind like a fairy: "What does Brother Song think of my appearance?"
Song Qingshu looked her up and down, and couldn't help but sigh, "Like a light cloud covering the moon, like the returning snow in the wind."
"Annoying ~" Compared to her lover as the Goddess of Luo, no matter how confident Yelu Nanxian was, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Song Qingshu's expression suddenly changed, "Are you planning to use your beauty to trick him?"
Yelu Nanxian smiled, "Li Yuanhao just killed the Mu brothers, and now he dares to violate the Mu family's womenfolk. He must be very lecherous, and when he sees a beautiful woman, he will easily do something impulsive. If he sees the Crown Princess with his own eyes, what do you think he will do?"
Song Qingshu thought of Li Yuanhao's state that night, he would most likely be tempted by Yelu Nanxian's beauty. On top of that, the Crown Prince was destined to be deposed, so he wouldn't have so many misgivings …
"Actually, with Brother Song's ability, even if I really marry Crown Prince Ning ge, you have the ability to keep me unharmed. But Ning ge is destined to be a deposed Crown Prince, it really isn't worth it to spend effort on him." Yelu Nanxian blinked, and said slyly, "Li Yuanhao is different, he is the Emperor of Western Xia, spending effort on him will be very profitable! Brother Song, don't you lack an opportunity? Let me be that opportunity. "
Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat, "This is a good idea, but it's a bit too risky."
"Could it be that Brother Song doesn't have the confidence to protect me?" Yelu Nanxian, on the other hand, was at ease.
"That's not a problem," Not long ago, he had even protected Qin Hongmian, how could he not protect her? But Song Qingshu still shook his head, "But there is no such thing as a perfect plan in this world, it's better to be safe than sorry."
Yelu Nanxian sighed faintly, "Brother Song, you still don't understand my thoughts. Although I don't like that Princess Shao Min, but she's helping you strategize from behind, and there's that Empress, she's watching over Liao for you. Only I'm useless, and I've always needed your protection. I don't want it to be like this, I also want to do something for you. "
Song Qingshu, full of pity, embraced her in his arms, "I don't need you to do anything for me …"
