"Where is it?" Yelu Nanxian was puzzled. The two of them had no friends in the Western Xia, and they couldn't return to the only diplomatic mission they knew, so they couldn't think of a safe place to hide.
"Jietan Temple." Song Qingshu hesitated for a moment, but still told her the destination. Currently, the whole of Spirit State City was in a state of panic. Soldiers were everywhere searching for Li Qiushui, and spies were investigating Yelu Nanxian's situation. Jietan Temple was the safest place, because it was the place where the 'sinners' were placed. The most dangerous place was also the safest place.
They could have stayed in the palace, but Song Qingshu couldn't stay with Yelu Nanxian all the time. It was too dangerous to leave her in the palace when he was out on business.
Jietan Temple was much better, and there was Mu Wanqing and Qin Hongmian who could take care of each other.
Of course, Jietan Temple also had another problem, and that was how to explain Mu Wanqing's existence to Yelu Nanxian, and how to introduce Yelu Nanxian to Mu Wanqing when they arrived at Jietan Temple …
On the way, Yelu Nanxian learned about his and Mu Wanqing's past. She faintly sighed, "I knew you were a womanizer from the moment I met you. At that time, I was still wondering why those women were so stupid. I didn't expect that one day, I would also have such a day."
Song Qingshu also looked apologetic, "It's my fault. You treated me wholeheartedly, but I couldn't repay you wholeheartedly."
Yelu Nanxian shook her head, "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Throughout history, men with great ability are surrounded by countless women. To be able to treat women as equals like Song Dage, to be so considerate and considerate, it's rare …"
"Actually, I'm not as good as you say." Being praised by her, Song Qingshu felt embarrassed. At the same time, he secretly thought that there were still things to learn from the feudal society. If he dared to do this in the future, blood would be spilled on the spot.
In fact, this wasn't just because the mainstream values of this era were more male oriented. Another important reason was that when Yelu Nanxian first met him, she knew that he had many female friends by his side. Therefore, in this aspect, she didn't expect much from him. If she knew that he was a loyal and devoted person, and now he dared to have a foot on two boats, she most likely wouldn't be able to accept it.
Therefore, one must be very careful when playing with one's public persona. If one was not careful, they would end up like those celebrities in the future. Their public persona would collapse at every turn, and it would often bring about a devastating blow.
Song Qingshu knew that it was not wise to continue this topic, so he tried to change the subject. "I saved Li Qiushui. She will definitely make a comeback after she recovers from her injuries. She has been running Xixia for decades, and her network of forces is intricate. She won't be defeated so easily. When the time comes, we will watch the fire from the other side and see if we can find any opportunities."
"Well, Big Brother Song, don't be impulsive. Don't take any risks. If worst comes to worst, we'll just leave Xixia." Yelu Nanxian said a few words, and then quickly changed the topic. "Oh right, tell me more about Miss Mu."
Seeing her preoccupied look, Song QingShu knew that she was worried about how to get along with the other party. Her heart was restless, so he apologetically held her hand and gently comforted her. He also told her about Mu Wanqing's matter. Of course, he was selective about these things. He ignored some of the details of love, and mostly introduced the Mu family's matter this time. He even told her about how Li Yuanhao ran into Qin Hongmian's bedroom, intending to have an affair with her.
Yelu Nanxian was also exceptionally intelligent. She easily guessed his little schemes, but she didn't choose to expose him. She just listened quietly, and in her mind, she had a general outline of Mu Wanqing's image and character.
Finally, they arrived at Jie Tan Temple. There were still soldiers guarding the perimeter of the temple. However, the events that happened in Lingzhou City in the past two days had made everyone anxious. The soldiers at the bottom were even more anxious. How many of them would seriously guard the temple?
Song Qingshu easily sneaked in with Mu Wanqing. The monks in the temple were also obviously discussing the conflict in the imperial court. They didn't see many people along the way.
When they arrived at Mu Wanqing's room, she was talking to Qin Hongmian. When she saw Song Qingshu suddenly appear, she couldn't help but jump toward Song Qingshu.
"Big Brother Song, I haven't heard from you for the past few days. I thought something happened to you!" Mu Wanqing unreservedly spoke her mind. On the side, Qin Hongmian saw this prospective son-in-law and subconsciously thought of what happened a few nights ago. She couldn't help but blush, not knowing how to face her.
"Hey, this is?" Mu Wanqing finally noticed Yelu Nanxian behind Song Qingshu. She couldn't help but ask.
Song QingShu could only nervously explain to her. When they learned that she was the future Crown Princess, and that it was because of her beauty that the rumors in the streets said that it was her beauty that caused the father and son to kill each other, both mother and daughter's expressions changed.
"I came to Xixia this time to use my identity as a marriage escort general as a cover …" Seeing Mu Wanqing's expression, Song Qingshu explained with a wry smile.
"I thought you came here specifically to propose marriage. I didn't expect you to come here for another woman." Mu Wanqing bit her lip, tears welled up in her eyes. But she forcefully held them back.
She had always been a little jealous. In the original work, even Zhong Ling and Duan Yu, who had a good relationship with each other since childhood, would make her jealous. In this world, she and Song Qingshu had gone through a lot of hardships, so she could reluctantly turn a blind eye to the women by his side. But now that she saw Yelu Nanxian, she still couldn't help but feel wronged and irritated.
"Mother, what you said before was right. There isn't a single good man." Mu Wanqing simply ignored him and directly ran over to her mother's shoulder.
Song Qingshu had a headache. It really wasn't easy to enjoy the blessing of having two wives. Helpless, he could only give Qin Hongmian a meaningful look, asking her to help him out.
Noticing him winking at her, Qin Hongmian's face turned red. She thought, "Why are you looking for me?" Originally, with her fiery temper, she would most likely help her daughter scold this group of stinky men. But when she thought of what happened that night, she inexplicably felt a little guilty. She hurriedly said to her daughter, "Wan 'er, don't mess around. It's improper to leave the princess hanging here."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it. Why did she speak up for outsiders? She didn't want outsiders to know about what happened that night. Could it be that the other party would dare to reveal it in front of Wan 'er?
However, her casual words woke Mu Wanqing up a little. She didn't want to leave a stingy and jealous impression in her lover's heart, especially in front of other competitors. However, she couldn't change her expression so quickly if she wanted to immediately greet him with a smile. For a moment, she couldn't help but stare blankly.
Just when the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, a sudden noise came from outside, followed by a sharp voice, "An imperial edict!"
Song Qingshu was startled. He chose Jietan Temple because it was considered a half-forgotten place. Now that Li Liangzuo was so busy, why would he still give an imperial edict to this place?
"Big brother Song, big sister Nanxian, you two go hide in the back." Mu Wanqing finally recovered and hurriedly said to the two.
"Thank you, little sister Wanqing." The two girls finally struck up a conversation, but it was unknown how much genuine affection they had for each other when they called each other 'big sister'.
After the two of them hid, Mu Wanqing and Qin Hongmian tidied up their appearance to welcome the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.
