"I …" Song Qingshu wanted to refute loudly, but he could not help but recall some scenes from last night. He felt guilty and quickly changed the topic. "I don't want to discuss such boring things with you. Hurry up and call Xian 'er over. Let's continue practicing our ability to deal with memorials and government affairs."
Li Qinglu rolled her eyes. "Do you want to call Qin Hongmian over?"
Song Qingshu was finally annoyed. "Are you done? Why do you keep mentioning her?"
"I'm thinking about the overall situation." Li Qinglu looked as if she had been wronged. "We have so few people right now, and we need help. This kind of thing is too confidential. We can't let outsiders know. After thinking about it, she's the most suitable person to help."
Song Qingshu was stunned. He suddenly felt that what she said made some sense. Since Qin Hongmian already knew about this, the best way was to let her help as well. This way, they would not waste human resources.
"But there's a big problem," Li Qinglu suddenly said.
"What?" Song Qingshu asked instinctively.
"That's how we can ensure Qin Hongmian's loyalty." Li Qinglu scowled, as if she was thinking hard. "In the past, the method Class One Hall used to control spies was to control their lives and future. We also needed to hold their parents and children as hostages. Some of the spies from crucial departments even needed to take poison regularly, but we can't use these methods on her."
Song Qingshu said in a low voice, "Madam Qin is not that kind of person. Besides, Wanqing is here. She won't reveal our secret."
"As a leader, you can't be so emotional. You need to use all kinds of methods to keep things in check. You can't just rely on the people's hearts." Li Qinglu warned. She was born in the royal family and had been in charge of an important department like Class One Hall for a long time. In this regard, she was more rational than Song Qingshu, who was a person who had only joined the family halfway. "Besides, Madam Qin will not reveal the secret under normal circumstances. But what if something unexpected happens? For example, Duan Zhengchun comes to find her and spills the beans in a moment of confusion? Duan Zhengchun knows that he is a playboy and likes to fool around. Who knows if he will encounter a few female spies from other countries. After all, Duan Zhengchun is the second most important person in Dali. It is normal for other countries to send female spies to get close to him. "
Song Qingshu sank into deep thought. "What you said isn't without reason." He thought of Ruan Xingzhu. Back then, she seemed to have another motive for getting close to Duan Zhengchun.
"I have an idea," Li Qinglu suddenly said.
Song Qingshu was delighted and hurriedly asked. Li Qinglu then replied, "That is to make her your woman. Your status is higher than Duan Zhengchun's, and at the same time, you are younger and stronger than him. Your martial arts are also better. I guarantee that she will be dead set on you and will never do anything to betray you."
Song Qingshu couldn't bear it anymore. He directly grabbed her and gave her a good spanking. "What are you thinking about all day long? Can you not be so dirty!"
Li Qinglu's eyes were watery. "I know what you are worried about. Although we can't be together in public, we can do it in secret. At that time, the world will know, you will know, and she will know. Isn't it a perfect solution to the problem of secular morality and etiquette?"
"What heaven and earth will know?" At this time, a gentle voice came from not far away. The two turned around and saw Qin Hongmian walking out from a pavilion in the corner.
Song Qingshu was sweating profusely. He hurriedly put Li Qinglu down. He was too careless just now. He didn't notice that someone was so close to them. He didn't know if she heard what they said. If she did, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Li Qinglu looked calm and said with a smile, "Brother Song was praising Madam's beauty just now."
Qin Hongmian's face turned red. "You little girl, you only know how to talk nonsense. Why did he praise me for no reason?"
Li Qinglu answered, "Because Sister Mu is born with the countenance of a flower and the countenance of the moon. He had a wonderful night yesterday. Then he sighed with emotion. Only a woman as beautiful as Madam could give birth to such a fairy-like daughter."
Although she was a little embarrassed, Qin Hongmian was also a little happy. "Princess must be joking. Isn't Princess also so beautiful?"
At the side, Song Qingshu couldn't help but admire these women's ability to flatter each other. They were obviously scheming against each other behind their backs, but in the end, they could throw all kinds of compliments at each other like they were free. No wonder the term "plastic sisters" was popular in his previous life.
However, seeing the two of them flatter each other, Song Qingshu also understood that Qin Hongmian probably didn't hear what they said before. Otherwise, with her fiery temper, she wouldn't be able to completely hide her thoughts like Li Qinglu. "Why is Madam here so early?"
Qin Hongmian answered, "I didn't sleep well last night. In the morning, I got up to get some fresh air in the imperial garden."
Song Qingshu hurriedly said, "Is the bedding or sandalwood in the room not to your liking? I'll send someone to send some over later."
"No need, no need. It has nothing to do with those." Qin Hongmian hurriedly waved her hands. At the same time, she couldn't help but look at him. Wasn't the main culprit …
Noticing her expression, the corners of Li Qinglu's lips slightly curled up. "Since you're here, let's have breakfast together. Sister Mu will also come later."
"No need." Qin Hongmian hurriedly waved her hands. Song Qingshu was with her lovers, so what was the point of her getting involved? Moreover, she had already decided to keep her distance from Song Qingshu.
"Mother, you're here too?" Suddenly, a pleasantly surprised voice came from behind them. They looked towards the source of the voice and saw a woman more beautiful than a rose slowly walking over. At this moment, she was dressed in the clothes of an empress. She had lost the youthfulness of a young girl and had gained the maturity of a young woman.
"Wan 'er ~" Seeing her daughter's rosy complexion and the happiness between her brows, Qin Hongmian finally relaxed. At least she didn't have to suffer alone her entire life like she did.
Li Qinglu also couldn't help but look her up and down a few more times. "Sister Mu, you're really beautiful today. I feel that you're even more beautiful than yesterday." Li Qinglu said this from the bottom of her heart. It wasn't the deliberate flattery from before.
"Qinglu, you're also very beautiful. Especially now that your skin seems to be a little more pink than usual." Mu Wanqing also said with a smile.
Li Qinglu subconsciously glanced at Song Qingshu. "Isn't it all because of him …" She suddenly realized that something was wrong and hurriedly stopped herself from speaking.
However, everyone present was experienced. Everyone understood what she meant. Even Qin Hongmian, who was at the side, was secretly amazed. "No wonder recently when I looked in the mirror, I realized that my complexion was much better than before. So the magic of love is really so great … Bah, bah, bah, I'm letting my imagination run wild again."
As the saying goes, three women make a play. Seeing that they were about to start flattering each other again, Song Qingshu hurriedly said, "Let's go to the imperial study together. We can also learn how to handle memorials. After all, I announced to the public that Li Langzuo was seriously injured in the previous rebellion. In the future, these political affairs will be gradually handed over to you."
Seeing that Qin Hongmian wanted to leave, Song Qingshu also called out to her. "Madam Qin, please stay. You should come with us."
"It's not too convenient for me to go." Qin Hongmian shook her head slightly and refused.
Song Qingshu smiled. "Qinglu and I were just discussing how to get you to help us. It just so happens that Sister Wan doesn't have much experience. She also needs your help."
"Actually, I don't understand these things either …" Qin Hongmian blushed.
Song Qingshu said with a smile, "It's good to have more people with more wisdom. You guys can learn together. You can also compare notes with each other on a daily basis."
"Mother, come with me." Mu Wanqing couldn't help but hug her mother's arm and shake it.
