The yellow-robed woman stared straight at Song Qingshu as if she was talking to herself. "During this time, I can see that your position in the palace is not low and you are also a favorite of the empress. If I did not appear, you would be living more leisurely in the palace. Not only do I often beat and scold you, I also poke at your weak point to threaten you. You should clearly hate me, so why do you help me again and again, and …"
The yellow-robed woman looked at him and added, "And I don't see any resentment in your eyes. You seem to sincerely want to help me."
"Heroine is so beautiful. Everyone loves beauty. When I see you, I feel close to you from the bottom of my heart, so I can't help but want to help you." Song Qingshu responded.
"If other men answered like this, I might believe it, but you are …" The yellow-robed woman bit her lip and changed her words. "But you are a servant in the palace. There are three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. Who knows how many beautiful women there are? You have been influenced and seen many. Why would you help me just because I am beautiful?"
"There are many beauties in the palace, but there really aren't any who are as beautiful as you." Song QingShu hastily interrupted her and replied seriously.
"What do you mean by 'tragic'? Is there anyone who praises someone like you?" The yellow-robed woman couldn't help but burst into laughter, revealing her sparkling teeth.
For some reason, in the face of the praise and flattery of countless young men over the years, although she had responded with a smile, there wasn't even a ripple in her heart. During this time, she was often teased by this ordinary little eunuch until she trembled.
Compared to the Jiangnan scholars who praised her, the words of this little eunuch could be said to be coarse, but she did not feel any disgust at all. Also, if she thought about it carefully, she found that his words were coarse but not coarse. There was even a feeling of vulgarity but elegance.
How could the yellow-robed woman know that this was the common style of speech in the society of Song Qingshu's previous life? That humor and ease was indeed not something that today's society, where etiquette ran rampant, could compare to.
"I haven't studied much, so I misused idioms. Please don't laugh at me." Song Qingshu didn't take it seriously and played the little eunuch's nervousness and embarrassment vividly.
"I'm not making fun of you, and … I think your description is very creative." The yellow-robed woman subconsciously comforted him. "But you still haven't told me the truth. Why did you help me? And I can feel from your eyes that you don't seem to be worried about the restriction on your body at all."
Song Qingshu thought to himself, 'I can't tell you that I'm helping you because the Shaolin Temple owes you a favor last time, and because we're in the same camp …'
Seeing that the yellow-robed woman was staring at him, waiting for an answer, Song Qingshu quickly made up a story without changing his expression. "I won't hide it from Miss, I am actually a Han. When I was a child, I was caught and sent to the Imperial Palace to be a eunuch. I suffered all kinds of humiliation …"
Song Qingshu cried for a while, and then he suddenly noticed that the yellow-robed woman's eyes were a bit red, and she had a distressed look on her face. He couldn't help but be shocked. He thought, 'It can't be, this yellow-robed woman looks very clever, how could she be fooled like this?'
He felt that the time was right, so he changed the topic. "That day, when I saw Miss come to the Imperial Palace alone to carry out an assassination, I admired Miss very much. In addition, because we are both Han people, I actually hoped that Miss would succeed in the assassination and bring honor to our Han people."
"I'm sorry, I've disappointed you." The yellow-robed woman's face was sad.
Song Qingshu originally wanted to take the opportunity to find out why she came to the Jin Kingdom's Imperial Palace.
He tried to find out why she came to the palace of the Jin Kingdom. Seeing that she didn't reveal anything, he didn't dare to continue asking. He didn't want to expose himself. "You know that I work in the palace of the Jin Kingdom. If my thoughts are heard by others, even ten heads won't be enough for me to chop off. So I've been hiding my thoughts in my heart and didn't even dare to tell you."
"I see …" The yellow-robed woman nodded secretly, and finally solved the doubts in her heart.
"After interacting with you for the past few days, I know that you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although you are a bit fierce, you will never make things difficult for a small person like me who is suffering. Therefore, I am not afraid of you." After explaining, Song Qingshu let out a long sigh of relief. He thought, 'You don't believe the truth, but you believe the lie. You really can't blame society for being stupid.'
"If you're willing, after I'm done here, I'll take you out of the Jin Kingdom's Imperial Palace and back to our own country." The yellow-robed woman felt that the more she talked with this eunuch, the more congenial she felt. She couldn't bear to see him continue to suffer here, so she blurted out.
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, you know I'm … What can I do outside the Imperial Palace with an incomplete body? I can't let Miss support me for a lifetime. I'd better stay in the Imperial Palace. " At the same time, he couldn't stop thinking, "Why did I pretend to be a eunuch? What bad luck!"
"At worst, I'll support you for a lifetime!" The yellow-robed woman felt that the words were ambiguous, until she remembered that the person in front of her was not a man, but a eunuch, so she didn't feel so embarrassed.
"Support me for a lifetime?" Song Qingshu looked at her with a faint smile, "I hope Miss will remember this in the future."
"A gentleman keeps his word. Although I'm not a gentleman, I'm not a villain who breaks his promise." The yellow-robed woman didn't know that Song Qingshu's words had a double meaning, so she promised again without realizing it.
"Let's talk about this after Miss completes your task." Song Qingshu suddenly thought of her attack in the Hall of Peaceful Harmony and couldn't help asking, "Does Miss Yang know the two little palace maids in the Empress's palace today?"
"I do …" A trace of sadness flashed through the yellow-robed woman's eyes, but she didn't intend to continue. Instead, she said, "It's not that I want to hide it, but the less you know about this, the safer you will be."
After several attempts, he didn't get the results he wanted. Song Qingshu was a little frustrated, but he knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed. He had just opened her heart today, and after a while, she would find out sooner or later.
After casually chatting with the yellow-robed woman for a while, seeing that she was tired, Song Qingshu got up and quietly slipped out of the Imperial Palace.
When he returned to Tang Kuo's mansion, Wanyan Gebi seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, so Song Qingshu was naturally happy to have some peace. After returning to his bedroom, he was thinking about how to save the Song Dynasty princesses in the Laundry Yard when a servant suddenly ran to him with an invitation. Song Qingshu opened it and found that it was Wanyan Liang, King of Hailing, who invited him to Qiu Xiang House tonight.
"Qiu Xiang House? I'm at Tiger Bohu House. " Song Qingshu secretly complained. This name didn't surprise him at first, so he asked a servant to ask about it. Sure enough, this Qiu Xiang House was the largest brothel in Daxing Mansion, and could also be regarded as the largest brothel in the entire Jin Kingdom. And it was different from ordinary brothels. It was said that the boss behind this brothel had an official background and was inextricably linked to the Musical House.
"Brothel, I like it." Song Qingshu couldn't help but think of the scene when he met Xia Qingqing in a brothel in Yangzhou City.
The corner of his mouth rose slightly.
…
Song Qingshu was in his room thinking of a way to save the people of the laundry yard. Before he knew it, night had already fallen. He sat in the carriage that Wanyan Liang had sent to pick him up. Looking at the luxurious and exquisite decorations of the carriage, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Such an imposing and luxurious carriage, wasn't it equivalent to a Rolls-Royce in my previous life?"
He couldn't help but miss his previous world. He missed the developed internet, missed the vast amount of entertainment and activities, and the long legs that filled the streets in summer. It was nothing like this world where all the women wrapped themselves up like rice dumplings …
Song Qingshu was lost in his thoughts when he suddenly felt a sense of danger. His entire body moved to the side, and a small golden snake had already bitten the seat he had just been sitting on. Seeing the sizzling sound of the seat being corroded by the venom, it was obvious how venomous the snake was.
Suddenly, the angry roars of the bodyguards could be heard from outside. Immediately after, a petite and delicate figure rushed into the carriage. The dagger in her hand instantly stabbed towards Song Qingshu.
Song Qingshu was hesitating whether or not to reveal his skills when the dagger suddenly stopped in mid-air. A surprised female voice sounded from inside the carriage, "You're not Wanyan Liang?"
Song Qingshu looked up and saw that the assassin in front of him was completely wrapped up, revealing only a pair of intelligent eyes. From the delicate curves of her body and the youthfulness of her voice, he could tell that she was a young girl. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, based on Song Qingshu's experience, with such beautiful eyes and eyebrows, as long as there were no major accidents, she was definitely a beauty. Moreover, she was the kind that could cause the downfall of a country.
Realizing that Song Qingshu wasn't Wanyan Liang, the assassin didn't hesitate. She came quickly and left even faster. In an instant, she retreated back the way she came. Through the window, he could see that she had used several moves to force back the bodyguards who had surrounded her. Then, her body as light as a swallow, she disappeared into the eaves of a distant building.
The bodyguards sent by Wanyan Liang hurried over to apologize, but Song Qingshu wasn't in the mood to pay attention to them. Instead, he looked thoughtfully in the direction that the assassin had disappeared. "It's really been a coincidence recently. I keep running into female assassins, and all of them are beautiful …"
"Lord Son-In-Law, how about we wait here for a moment? I've already sent someone to bring another carriage over. At the same time, I've also sent some people to protect Lord Son-In-Law," the bodyguard hurriedly said.
"There's no need. It's getting late. Let's go to Autumn Fragrance Brothel first." Song Qingshu returned to the carriage. The poisonous snakes in the carriage had already been cleaned up by the bodyguards.
"But the assassin …" The bodyguard hesitated.
Song Qingshu smiled. "The assassin's target was your master, the Hai Ling King. I was just caught in the crossfire. Don't worry, there won't be any more assassins."
… …
When Song Qingshu arrived at Autumn Fragrance Brothel, Wanyan Liang had already come out to greet him from afar. "Brother Tang Kuo, this king has already heard about what happened on the way here. It's all thanks to Brother Tang Kuo's quick reaction. If it were me, I'm afraid I would have died on the spot. Speaking of which, Brother Tang Kuo really did save this king's life."
"Your Highness is too polite. This time, I only managed to escape with my life because of a lucky coincidence." Song Qingshu had originally suspected that Wanyan Liang had deliberately put on a show. But from the look of fear on his face, it seemed that the assassin hadn't been sent by Wanyan Liang.
"This king is truly sorry for causing Brother Tang Kuo such a fright. It just so happens that a top-grade courtesan has come to Autumn Fragrance Brothel today. This king will buy her and give her to Brother Tang Kuo as an apology." Wanyan Liang pulled on Song Qingshu's hand with a warm expression and walked inside.
