A green-clothed girl was pressed against the wall. Her face was pale and her eyes were closed, as if she had accepted her fate. She didn't struggle, didn't speak, but her tears flowed uncontrollably. Who else could it be but Ah Ke?
"This young lady is really pretty. Even I can't bear to look at her." A eunuch laughed.
Another eunuch mocked, "You don't even have a penis down there. Do you still know how to have tender feelings for the fairer sex?"
The eunuch's face turned red. "You speak as if you have one!"
The old nanny holding the scissors was instantly angered. "You really are a vixen. Even a ball-less eunuch is head over heels for you. Let's see if this nanny doesn't cut your slutty face!" As she spoke, she took the scissors and started to cut the other party's delicate and fair face.
"Ah!" No matter how much Ah Ke accepted her fate, she couldn't help but scream in fear.
However, the pain she imagined did not come. Instead, she heard a few louder screams. She opened her eyes in confusion and found that those hateful eunuchs and nannies were lying on the ground. She did not know if they were dead or alive. She turned around and suddenly saw a familiar yet strange face.
"Am I dreaming?" Ah Ke subconsciously rubbed her eyes. She didn't know how many times she had seen this person in front of her in her dreams. But every time she wanted to grab him and hug him, she found that it was all for naught.
Seeing the young girl's limpid eyes filled with fear and unease, Song QingShu felt extremely apologetic in his heart. "Ah Ke, it's my fault for coming late. I've made you suffer too much, and you've suffered too much."
"Brother Song, is it really you?" Hearing his voice, Ah Ke's body trembled. She couldn't help but throw herself into his arms. "Do you know how many times I thought I was hugging you? But when I woke up, I found that it was just a dream?
"Mother isn't here either. I don't even have a single person to talk to in the entire palace.
"Everyone envies me and is jealous of me. But they don't know that these things aren't what I want.
"The entire palace looks grand and majestic, but in my eyes, it's just a tomb. A tomb that I can never get out of.
"Everyone wants to harm me. They all want me dead. Not long ago, Minister Han was killed. They finally found a chance.
…
The girl in his arms kept trembling. Hearing her recount the fear she had experienced during this period of time, Song Qingshu sighed. He did not know what to say to comfort her, so he could only listen quietly. At the same time, he stroked her waterfall-like hair from time to time and slowly transferred his True Qi into her body to prevent her from fainting due to her emotional agitation.
The girl's tears flowed uncontrollably from the very beginning. Song QingShu could clearly feel that a large patch of his chest was already wet. He couldn't help but laugh. "Ah Ke, are you made of water? Why do you have so many tears?"
Ah Ke giggled and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "You're so annoying. You're still making fun of me at this time."
Seeing that her eyes were no longer as lifeless as before and had regained their former vigor, Song Qingshu finally felt relieved. "Ah Ke, it's all in the past. I'll get you out immediately. From now on, you don't have to be afraid anymore."
"Really?" Ah Ke was very surprised, but she immediately thought of her identity and couldn't help but look gloomy. "Although I've been banished to the Cold Palace, I'm still the Imperial Concubine of the Southern Song Dynasty. If you take me away, I'm afraid it'll be bad for you."
Song Qingshu gently looked at her bright eyes. "Do you know what the most powerful weapon in Jianghu is?"
Ah Ke didn't understand why he suddenly asked such an irrelevant question. But she still answered, "Peacock Plume? Torrential Pear Blossom Needle? Or … "She used to be half a person in Jianghu, so she could naturally name a lot of famous weapons.
Song Qingshu shook his head. "Although these weapons are powerful, they're not the most powerful."
"Then what's the most powerful?" Ah Ke asked curiously.
Song Qingshu reached out and wiped the crystal tears on her cheeks. "Of course it's the tears of a woman, especially the tears of a beautiful woman like you."
Ah Ke finally reacted. She couldn't help but coquettishly say, "Big Brother Song ~"
Song Qingshu finally put away his smile and sternly said, "That's right, at the beginning I did consider the impact of taking you away, but seeing your look of despair just now, I finally understood that no bullshit impact is more important than making you happy. Although I'm not the kind of person who would give up the country for a woman, I also don't need to rely on a woman to accomplish great things. So from now on, you're free. I'll take you out of the Imperial Palace. In the future, if you want to go back to Ping Xi Wang Fu, if you want to follow your mother, if you want to roam Jianghu, it's up to you."
Ah Ke shook her head. Although her voice was small, it was very firm. "No, I won't go anywhere. I want to stay by Big Brother Song's side."
Song Qingshu was startled. Seeing the deep affection in the young girl's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He thought, it's impossible for the two of us to be together. But he couldn't say these words out loud. First, he was worried that it would hurt her newly lit hope. Second, he couldn't tell her about his relationship with Chen Yuanyuan.
"Let's go. I'll take you out first." Song Qingshu avoided her earnest gaze. With one hand holding her slender waist, he flew out of the Imperial Palace.
Feeling that slender waist, that astonishing softness and elasticity, caused Song Qingshu's heart to sway. He subconsciously began to compare her to Chen Yuanyuan. One was youthful and charming, the other mature and full. Most importantly, their appearances were somewhat similar. It was really …
Song Qingshu nearly had a nosebleed from thinking about it. Extinguishing the indescribable images in his mind, he cursed inwardly, "Beast," and hastily restrained his thoughts.
Suddenly, his complexion changed. His speeding figure came to a halt. Looking at the figure hidden in the black robe, he inwardly complained, "How did I run into this guy again?"
"The Prince of Qi is truly in a refined mood, coming to the Imperial Palace in the middle of the night. I wonder which Imperial Consort you plan on taking away this time?" A hoarse voice faintly came from the black robe.
Song Qingshu sighed, "Senior, it is already so late at night, yet you are not sleeping and wandering around. It is truly not in accordance with the way of health." The person standing in front of him, one with nature, was naturally Huang Chang.
"When one is old, one naturally sleeps less," Huang Chang indifferently said. Shortly after, he changed the topic, "Since we are acquaintances, leave the person behind and you can go."
Ah Ke unconsciously leaned against Song Qingshu, her small hands tightly grasping his clothes. Clearly, she was very afraid of being taken back.
Song Qingshu gently patted her body, comforting her. Afterwards, he asked Huang Chang, "What if I don't leave the person behind?"
Huang Chang's voice grew cold, "Then I'm afraid that both of you will have to stay behind."
Song Qingshu smiled faintly, his tone revealing a faint trace of arrogance, "With my qinggong, even if I bring someone with me, you may not be able to keep me behind."
"What if I am included?" Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind.

I don't know if you guys have noticed, but in the latest version of the Zongheng app, you can now comment on chapters. That is, if you long press on a certain paragraph, you can comment on that paragraph. It is similar to the bullet screen on a video website. When I read books, I like to read chapters, especially when I see something interesting or funny, or when I want to complain. I have the urge to share it with others. Sometimes, I feel that chapters are better than the main text.
Perhaps there are still very few people who know that Zongheng has added this function, so I want to inform everyone that you are welcome to comment on chapters.
