Xia Qingqing blocked Song Qingshu from the front, executing the Golden Snake Sword Technique in a treacherous and ruthless manner. Zhou Zhiruo's White Python Whip Technique was extremely exquisite. Her long whip always attacked Xia Qingqing's vital points and inadvertently covered all of Xia Qingqing's flaws. Coupled with Dongfang Muxue's elusive movements, she always attacked from unimaginable angles, forcing Song Qingshu into a fluster.
Song Qingshu also did not expect that the three women with different martial arts would be able to complement each other so well in their first cooperation. Furthermore, he was worried about hurting them, so even if he saw a flaw, he would always be overcautious and overcautious. As a result, he was forced into a difficult situation by the three women.
Because he was impersonating Kangxi, Song Qingshu subconsciously chased the imperial guards away from his surroundings. The entire imperial palace adopted the strategy of guarding the outside but not the inside. But even so, with such a huge commotion here, even if the imperial guards were a bunch of pigs, they would still rush over. If they saw his unparalleled martial arts, rumors would quickly spread throughout the imperial palace.
He might be able to fool others, but the Empress Dowager, as well as some of the old eunuchs and old nannies who served Kangxi, would definitely know that Kangxi did not know martial arts. If that happened, his identity would definitely be exposed.
Song Qingshu's expression turned solemn. He reached out his hand and grabbed at a certain spot in the air. A wooden sword suddenly attacked Zhou Zhiruo in the distance. Zhou Zhiruo drew her whip several times in a row, but she still could not block the wooden sword in the air. She could not help but turn pale. She used the lightness skill from the Nine Yin Manual and quickly retreated.
Without the cover of Zhou Zhiruo's long whip, Xia Qingqing's entire body was full of flaws. Seeing her sword stab over, Song QingShu changed from his usual dodging style. His two fingers clamped down on the blade of the sword and smoothly slid it into her bosom. Under Xia Qingqing's stunned and shocked gaze, he sealed her acupuncture point.
"Huh?" Clearly, the wooden sword had evoked some familiar memories in Dongfang Muxue's mind. A trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and her body involuntarily froze for a moment. In the blink of an eye, Song Qingshu closed in on her and took the opportunity to seal her major acupuncture point.
Seeing two of her companions being restrained one after another, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but panic in her heart. Her moves more or less became somewhat disordered. Song QingShu controlled the wooden sword to distract her vision while he used [Traceless Treading Sand] to move to her side in an instant.
Looking down at the fingers on her ribs, Zhou Zhiruo was unwilling. Zhou Zhiruo was unwilling to give up. Zhou's eyes, Zhou Zhiruo Zhiruo's eyes. and Zhou Zhiruo felt.
She lowered, and looked at the fingers on her ribs. Zhou. "Zhiruo Zhou" Shu's words. She. Zhou. Zhou, "Qingshu", and "Zhou" Tian "Zhiruo, and said.
Being hugged by a strange man, Zhou Zhiruo's face flashed with a trace of shame and anger. Unfortunately, she was unable to resist and could only stare at Song Qingshu angrily.
On the other side, Dongfang Muxue nodded thoughtfully when she saw this, and an imperceptible smile soon appeared on the corners of her mouth.
Hearing the footsteps of the palace guards rushing over, Song Qingshu's expression changed. With a swoosh, he returned to the bed like a wisp of smoke.
"Your servant was late to save you, I deserve to die ten thousand times!"
When Doron saw Little Tong lying on the bed, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. There were also three women in the hall who were obviously assassins. Doron broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Kangxi seemed to be fine. Otherwise, his family would be exterminated.
"Hmph, you do deserve to die ten thousand times." Song Qingshu said coldly, "I don't know how you're doing your job as the head of the palace guards. First, there was Song Qingshu's assassination attempt, and now there are these three female thieves. You still came late. If it wasn't for the fact that I had an expert by my side, wouldn't those rascals have succeeded?"
Doron felt wronged. He thought to himself, "It's all because you transferred me to another place. Otherwise, I wouldn't have reacted so slowly and rushed over after so long." However, even if he had the guts, he didn't dare to say it at this time. He could only kowtow and say, "Your servant did not protect you well. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Song QingShu snorted. "From today onwards, focus on training the flying guillotines. As for the position of Head of the Inner Palace Guards, hmm, that Di Yun-something from the Stickler will temporarily take over."
Song Qingshu was worried that he wouldn't be able to place his trusted aides in the palace. It was a good opportunity to use this assassination incident to make a fuss and transfer Doron far away.
Doron was anxious. He didn't care about anything else and promptly said, "Your Majesty, please reconsider. This Di Yun is not only a Han, he also came from the stick. The people inside were all promoted by the traitor Song Qingshu. Letting him take the position of the head of the palace guards, your servant is worried that he will harbor evil intentions."
"The stick is Zhen's stick. When did it become Song Qingshu's stick?" Song Qingshu angrily rebuked, "Although you are loyal, your martial art skills are limited. If you can't guard against these Wulin masters who come and go as they please, what's the use of loyalty?"
"This Zhen knows a thing or two about that Di Yun. He is an honest and straightforward person. What's more, his martial art skills are excellent. Find someone among the palace guards who is more skilled than him. This Zhen will not let him be the head of the palace guards. How about it?"
Doron and the palace guards looked at each other. Although they were all experts, there was still a large gap between them and those top experts. Knowing that they weren't Di Yun's match, they could only remain silent.
"This matter is decided. As for the question of Di Yun's loyalty, this Zhen has a sense of propriety." Song Qingshu decreed.
"Yes!" The palace guards hastily saluted.
"This servant will throw these assassins into prison and interrogate them properly. We will definitely find out their identities and the mastermind behind the scenes." Doron looked at the three women on the ground with hatred. If they hadn't sneaked in to assassinate him, he wouldn't have lost his position as the head of the palace guards. Humph, just wait and see how I'll have my brothers deal with you.
Looking at the three women's soft and beautiful figures and beautiful faces, images that were not suitable for children quickly appeared in Doron's mind.
"This Zhen will interrogate the three of them." Song Qingshu coughed lightly and pointed at Dongfang Muxue and the other two. "Lock them up separately. Remember, don't be rude to them." As he spoke, Song Qingshu's voice had become extremely cold.
"Yes!" Doron nodded in understanding. However, he couldn't help but give himself a tight slap in his heart. What was wrong with him recently? Why did he not know how to read the situation? Although these three were assassins, they were all one-in-a-million beauties. Even he would let his imagination run wild. The Emperor was also a man.
Before the three women were taken away, Dongfang Muxue looked meaningfully at Song Qingshu, causing Song Qingshu's hair to stand on end. Could it be that she had seen through him? Although the wooden sword was a flaw, it was too shocking to disguise as Kangxi. He believed that Dongfang Muxue didn't have such a rich imagination.
"Your Majesty, what happened just now?" Empress Xiaotong slowly woke up and asked in confusion.
"A few assassins came and were subdued by the imperial guards." Song Qingshu patted her body lightly and comforted her.
"But this qie seems to remember that Your Majesty doesn't know martial arts." Empress Xiaotong was frightened and had her sleeping acupuncture point sealed. Her mind was naturally not clear.
"Nowadays, the martial arts experts in Jianghu are so arrogant. This Zhen had previously found an expert to impart some martial arts for self-defense. I didn't think that it would really come in handy today." Song Qingshu explained.
Empress Xiaotong knew nothing about martial arts and naturally couldn't see how high the martial arts cultivation of Song Qingshu's martial arts was when the flying needles were knocked down by the thin silk. "Your Majesty is so powerful!"
"You didn't feel the other benefits of learning martial arts, but there is one benefit that you definitely felt." A strange smile appeared on Song Qingshu's face.
"What is it? Forgive this qie for being slow-witted, but please enlighten me, Your Majesty. "Empress Xiaotong looked at him in confusion.
"Weren't you very curious about why this Zhen has been so energetic recently?" Song Qingshu bit Xiaotong's ear and whispered.
"Your Majesty, you're so bad!" Empress Xiaotong's pretty face immediately flushed red. After this interruption, her suspicions quickly disappeared.
"You must never mention to anyone that this Zhen knows martial arts. Otherwise, the next time the assassins are on guard, I won't be able to catch them off guard since I haven't practiced martial arts for long. It will be easy for evildoers to take advantage of me." Song Qingshu hugged Xiaotong and warned her in her ear.
"You can't even tell Empress Dowager and Big Sister?" Empress Xiaotong blinked in confusion.
After knowing that the Big Sister she mentioned was Da Tong, Song Qingshu nodded. "Of course I trust Empress Dowager and Empress. However, there are too many people in the Palace of Benevolent and Peaceful and Earthly Tranquility. If someone with ulterior motives accidentally hears this, I'm afraid that this Zhen will be in danger."
Empress Xiaotong hurriedly nodded. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. This qie will definitely not tell anyone."
Song Qingshu nodded in relief and gently covered her with the blanket. "You've been frightened today. Rest well. We still have to deal with the matter of the assassins." Originally, if Xiaotong found out that he knew martial arts, the safest way was to eliminate her in secret. However, Song Qingshu wasn't such a cruel and cold-blooded person. Furthermore, a day as husband and wife meant a lifetime of love. After such a long time, even if they hadn't developed feelings, he had at least taken pity on her.
"Mm, the assassins are so dangerous. Your Majesty should bring more guards." Empress Xiaotong had been plucked daily by Song Qingshu and was already very tired. After the fright, she felt even more exhausted and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
After instructing the imperial guards to lock Dongfang Muxue and the others in three different rooms in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Song Qingshu returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and pondered which woman he should meet first.
Zhou Zhiruo hated him to the bone. This time, she actually came to the Forbidden City to take revenge for him. Song Qingshu felt that he had to ask her in detail.
However, when he thought of Xia Qingqing's self-destructive expression just now, he fell into deep self-blame. During this period of time, he had been engrossed in Empress Xiaotong's charming and delicate body and had actually forgotten about Xia Qingqing. She must have spent this period of time in fear and regret.
Dongfang Muxue's meaningful smile suddenly appeared in his mind. Song Qingshu then thought of how Dongfang Muxue was clearly seriously injured but still ran all the way from Yunnan to Yanjing. This friendship seemed to have greatly exceeded his expectations.
Who should he meet first? Song Qingshu looked left and right and really had a headache. Not only did he have to let them go, but he also had to dispel their thoughts of continuing to take revenge. Did he really have to reveal his identity? However, were they worthy of his trust …
