Li Qingluo shook her head as she spoke. "You don't have what it takes."
Song Qingshu thought for a while and said, "It's hard to get a eunuch. Looks like I'll have to promote some new people from the palace."
Among the eunuchs he knew, Patriarch Sunflower was naturally the first. But he certainly wouldn't be in charge, and Song Qingshu didn't have the confidence to control him. Tian Guinong was a good eunuch, but he was already dead. There was also Lu Guanying, but Song Qingshu immediately extinguished that idea. He had a problem with his body and no one else knew about it. If he transferred him to the palace, wouldn't his reputation be ruined? Lu Guanying wanted to bring honor to his ancestors, so he could only take the path of officialdom.
Tossing these messy thoughts aside, Song QingShu continued, "Palace maids are easy to handle. The Vulture Palace may be lacking in many things, but they are not lacking in maidservants." Send a message to Vulture Palace and have the four great maids, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, select some clever ones to help in Lin 'an. These people from Vulture Palace had been trained well by Tianshan Tonglao in etiquette, and all of them knew martial arts. They could completely control the internal court.
Song QingShu recalled the movie version of "The Deer and the Cauldron" that he had watched in his previous life. Zhang Ming's fake Empress Dowager relied on a group of Divine Dragon Cult's maids to build the entire Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful into an iron bucket. She had stayed in the palace for many years without revealing any flaws.
"Old Tonglao is really generous." Li Qingluo said sourly. Vulture Palace was Tianshan Tonglao's painstaking effort and could be considered the headquarters of the Carefree Sect. She didn't expect Tianshan Tonglao to give it to him so casually. If it wasn't for the age difference between the two of them, she would have suspected that there was some sort of shameful relationship between them. After all, Old Lady Tong looked like a little girl now, and Song Qingshu's lecherous nature …
"This is called having a good character." Seeing her jealousy, Song Qingshu said impatiently, "As for the guards, when the time comes, I will mobilize a team of trusted masters. It should not be too much of a problem."
Actually, the people from the Spirit Vulture Palace were more than qualified to play the role of guards, but it would be too shocking, so it was better not to change the system. This time, the imperial palace guards suffered heavy losses during the trip to Mount Wudang. It was a good opportunity to replenish them. Back then, he was hunted down by the Golden Ripple Flower and almost had no way out. Later, Ah Jiu said that he wanted to cultivate a guard force for him to avoid a repeat of the same mistake. It was a good opportunity to transfer this team of people from the Golden Snake Camp.
Li Qingluo couldn't help but frown. "However, the guards of the palace have always been under Second Brother's control. I'm afraid he won't let you get involved so easily."
Song Qingshu said proudly, "That's not up to him. Have you forgotten that I'm still a Great Grandmaster?"
"Look at how smug you are." Li Qingluo rolled her eyes at him, but she felt sweet in her heart. Which woman didn't want their man to be as strong as possible?
Song Qingshu immediately put away his high and mighty image and snickered. "Also, don't I have you as a middleman? When the time comes, help me with his work."
Li Qingluo snorted. "I'm not a god, and on the surface, I'm a member of the Wang family. Won't it arouse suspicion to help an outsider like this?"
"How can I be considered an outsider?" Song Qingshu said with a smile. "Have you forgotten my relationship with Yu Yan in Wang Ziteng's eyes? Isn't it reasonable for a mother-in-law to help her future son-in-law? "Finishing, he ran off in advance.
"Bastard!" Li Qingluo's face instantly flushed red as expected. She quickly chased after him to hit him.
Both of them knew how to walk on water. In the small room, they left behind afterimages. If someone saw them from the side, they would probably think they saw a ghost.
Song Qingshu's qinggong was far better than the other's, but he knew that if he didn't give in a little, she would become angrier and angrier. So he quietly went easy and occasionally let Li Qingluo catch up.
After chasing and hitting him for a long time, Li Qingluo finally calmed down. "Alright, alright. Since you know that you will provoke me, you deliberately said that. You're really a bastard."
Song Qingshu held her in his arms. "Do you know that you look very beautiful when you're angry? I can't help but want to see it."
"Your mouth seems to be smeared with honey. Back then, even the one surnamed Duan wasn't as good at flirting as you are." Li Qingluo knew that he was exaggerating, but she was still somewhat happy in her heart.
Song Qingshu knew that she was talking about the past when she pretended to accept Duan Zhengchun's pursuit in order to numb Qin Hui. He couldn't help but hold her in his arms. "Madam, you know that my mouth is smeared with honey. Do you want to taste it yourself?"
Li Qingluo's face turned red and she hurriedly pushed him away. She looked outside the door guiltily. "It's broad daylight. Don't pull."
Song Qingshu said with a smile, "Don't worry. With my cultivation, if someone comes near, I can detect it in advance."
"It's better to be safe than sorry." Li Qingluo tidied up her slightly wrinkled clothes. After confirming that there were no abnormalities, she said, "Let's continue the topic just now. There's still one more important factor. Who are you looking for as a spy in the Back Palace?"
As a member of a noble family, Li Qingluo naturally understood the rules of the game of the imperial court. Since ancient times, every powerful official, no matter how powerful he was, needed an ally in the Back Palace. Firstly, they could pass on news from the Back Palace in time. Secondly, they needed a concubine to provide legal status in some critical moments.
Li Qingluo's brows furrowed even tighter. "From now on, the most popular person in the Back Palace is Concubine Jia. But she obviously won't help you sincerely. The other concubines are either too young or have too low a status. They won't amount to anything."
Seeing that she was talking about serious matters, Song Qingshu also put away his frivolous expression. "Have you forgotten that there's still one more person?"
"Who?" Li Qingluo asked curiously.
"When Prime Minister Han was in power, who did he use?" Song Qingshu looked towards the southeast. A stunning face appeared in his mind.
"Concubine Wu?" Li Qingluo frowned slightly. "But I remember that the news from the Palace said that she died not long ago."
"It's just to find a suitable reason for her disappearance." Song Qingshu then roughly told her about the deal he made with Huang Chang.
Li Qingluo was stunned. "You … Why do I feel that any beautiful woman has an inexplicable relationship with you?"
"Low-key, low-key." Song Qingshu looked serious, but he couldn't hide the complacency between his brows.
A trace of pleasure appeared on Li Qingluo's face. "And that dog emperor, he was so cruel to use his own woman as a bargaining chip. He deserved such an end. He really suffered a double loss. But many people in Lin 'an know about Concubine Wu's death. Is it really okay? "
"The water in the harem is very deep. Outsiders don't know the details. At that time, we can say whatever we want." Song Qingshu smiled. "We can use this matter to make Concubine Jia retire behind the scenes and let Concubine Wu take the throne again."
Li Qingluo was still a little worried. "But Concubine Wu is young after all, and I have seen her once before. I feel that she is a little … a little childish."
Song Qingshu knew that she was very euphemistic. With Ah Ke's character and wisdom, it was really difficult for her to bear this heavy responsibility. "Didn't Prime Minister Han also find someone to assist her at that time?"
"The Chen Yuanyuan who suppressed Qin Huai in the past?" Li Qingluo exclaimed, and suddenly her face was a little strange. "Do you have a relationship with the elder or the younger one?"
"Ahem …" Song Qingshu was drinking tea and almost choked. Fortunately, someone came to report the news and helped him out.
"Gang Leader Huang is back!"
