"Ah!" Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhonghui exclaimed, and Xia Qingqing on the other side also grasped Song Qingshu's hand tightly, too nervous to speak.
Song Qingshu frowned, thinking that if she saw Yuan Chengzhi being hacked to death with knives, she would probably have a psychological shadow for the rest of her life, so she raised her hand and was about to rescue him secretly.
At this moment, another voice sounded: "Stop!"
The owner of that voice seemed to be well-known, and the guards all stopped and looked at each other suspiciously.
I saw Saba said in a deep voice: "He appeared in the harem late at night, this matter is no small matter, it is better to carefully investigate all the right and wrong."
Both Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Shishilang nodded secretly. If he were allowed to die like this, the news about Concubine Wen's private meeting with a man in the middle of the night would be widely spread, and even if nothing happened without proof of death, there would be troubles caused by gossip.
Seeing that Yuan Chengzhi couldn't die for the time being, Song Qingshu gave up his plan to make a move. Seeing a group of guards taking Yuan Chengzhi and Xiao Zhonghui into custody, Xia Qingqing beside him couldn't help asking: "Qingshu, what should we do now?"
"If you want to save him, you can't do anything in this palace. There's too much noise." Song Qingshu said in a deep voice. Now that the guards of the palace have been fully mobilized, there are imperial guards everywhere. To save him at this time is completely a matter of fighting with thousands of people. Even if they are rescued by chance, they will start the escape mode next.
Song Qingshu came to Beijing quietly this time, and now that things are not done, he naturally doesn't want to make a big deal out of small things.
Xia Qingqing obviously understood the stakes, knowing that taking action at this time would be like hitting a stone with an egg. Although she wanted to save Yuan Chengzhi, she didn't want to see Song Qingshu in danger.
"Don't worry, it will be much easier to save them after they are thrown into the prison of Yili Biyuan." Looking at the other party's worried look, Song Qingshu comforted him softly.
"Thank you, Brother Song..." Xia Qingqing hesitated to speak, she knew that Song Qingshu didn't need to save Yuan Chengzhi at all, she only helped for her sake, she was full of gratitude but didn't know how to say it.
"There are more and more guards, let's leave here first." Song Qingshu rubbed Xia Qingqing's hair, and pulled her away quietly.
Out of the palace, Song Qingshu said to Xia Qingqing: "Qingqing, you go back to meet Bingxueer first, I'll go and find out the relevant news, after all, it's a bit strange that the dignified concubine Wen was arrested by the people who were barred from the Biyuan, and I got enough We will discuss how to save people after receiving the information.”
"Okay." Xia Qingqing nodded thoughtfully.
Song Qingshu took two steps, then turned around and called her back with some worry: "Qingqing, you go back and wait for my news, don't act recklessly again."
Seeing his solemn expression, Xia Qingqing chuckled: "Don't worry, I'm not the woman who just ran to be Prince Bao's concubine. Now you are the most important thing."
Song Qingshu smiled awkwardly: "So you know what I want to say."
Xia Qingqing gave him a blank look: "I've been with you for so long, how can I not know what you think. Don't worry, I will wait for you in the small courtyard and will not act without authorization."
"That's good." Song Qingshu felt relieved, "I will come back to find you as soon as possible."
After the two separated, Song Qingshu went straight to the secret stronghold of Ruyang Prince's Mansion. Now it is more useful to ask Zhao Min for information than to wander around alone in the middle of the night. Although Huanyiyuan also has certain intelligence capabilities, it lacks a strong one. The speed and accuracy of obtaining information is much worse than that of Mongolia.
"Hey, why did you come back so soon?" Zhao Min was sorting out various clues in the study, and was a little surprised to see Song Qingshu's arrival. After all, she had been told before that she might not come back tonight.
"Don't you want me to come back?" Song Qingshu teased.
A blush flashed across Zhao Min's fair and jade-like cheeks, and she spat: "You are always so unscrupulous, no wonder the world always gives you bad reviews."
"That's all a misunderstanding of me." Song Qingshu said sternly, but thinking of his reputation in the world, he was suave at best, and lustful at worst, and he felt a little stressed for a while.
Zhao Min didn't bother to quarrel with him, so he just snorted softly: "Tell me, you came back so early, you must have something to look for me."
"It will be difficult to marry a woman who is too smart." Song Qingshu didn't know how many times he complained.
"I don't want you to worry about this." Zhao Minyun replied calmly.
Song Qingshu had no choice but to talk about the things in the palace, especially mentioning the things about Yuan Chengzhi.
Zhao Min snorted softly: "No wonder he ran out so anxiously, it turned out to be a smile for Bo's beauty."
Song Qingshu smiled mischievously, he knew that with Zhao Min's IQ, it was not difficult to guess Xia Qingqing's existence.
"I'm very curious why the dignified Concubine Wen was arrested by the people who were exiled from Biyuan." Song Qingshu worried that she would get to the bottom of it, and hurriedly asked.
Zhao Min replied indifferently: "It's not surprising. According to the latest information, Yili Biyuan has obtained the latest clues. The case of Yeluqi and Xiao Banhe's treason has already been settled."
"What clue?" Song Qingshu couldn't help asking, after all, he didn't believe that Yeluqi's character would cause rebellion.
"This is not clear yet," Zhao Min replied, "It will take time to confirm." No matter how powerful she is, she will not get all the information so quickly. It is already very rare to know the latest progress of the conspiracy.
Song Qingshu frowned: "Concubine Wen, after all, is a golden branch and jade leaf. Even if the case is involved, it should be managed by Tiyin. How can it be managed by a place like Yili Biyuan?" This is what he is most puzzled by. , How can they be released from the hospital for review like ordinary prisoners.
Zhao Min looked at him in surprise: "It turns out that you don't know that the leader of the Tiyin Division, Xiao Pidi, and Xiao Banhe are cousins. The emperor naturally did not allow the Tiyin Division to participate in order to avoid suspicion. From this point of view, The fate of Concubine Wen's father and daughter may not be optimistic."
Song Qingshu vaguely remembered that Su Yin seemed to be some kind of leader of the Tiyin Division before, so why is he now Xiao Pidi? I don't know where Su Quan is now.
"Aside from asking about Concubine Wen, you're probably not sure if you want to save me when you come to me." Zhao Min suddenly said again.
Song Qingshu was startled, and finally sighed: "It seems that nothing can be hidden from you."
Zhao Min got up and laughed lightly: "Yuan Chengzhi and you are not only not friends, but were once enemies, not to mention that he is Xia Qingqing's husband, instead of taking the risk to save him, it is better to let nature take its course and let him die in the hands of the Liao people. Qingqing can't blame you for anything."
Song Qingshu's face changed, and he finally said: "I'm not a saint, and I'm really reluctant to take a big risk to save an irrelevant person, and..." Although he didn't finish speaking, the meaning was already obvious.
"So you came here to ask for my opinion?" Zhao Min said with a half-smile.
Song Qingshu nodded: "I'm in a situation where it's really hard to judge rationally. The princess is unparalleled in wisdom and plan, and I'm sure he can give the most suitable advice."
"You are a cunning person, and you push everything to others." Zhao Min smiled, but the expression on his face obviously didn't mind it. "My suggestion is of course to save him."
"Oh?" Song Qingshu glanced at her unexpectedly, her answer was really unexpected.
Zhao Min paced back and forth in the study, and slowly analyzed: "Yuan Chengzhi is not only Xia Qingqing's ex-husband, but he also has another difficult identity, that is, the former Golden Snake King. If this identity is found out by the Liao Kingdom, At that time, if you use him as a bargaining chip to blackmail the Golden Snake Camp, even if you control the Golden Snake Camp as a monolith, it is inevitable that the Golden Snake Camp will cause great turmoil, so we need to save him and not let him be controlled by the Liao people."
Song Qingshu nodded slowly, and had to admit that her analysis was very reasonable. Zhao Min continued: "Of course saving him is too risky. In comparison, the best choice is to save him on the surface, but in fact you are in prison. Get rid of him in the middle, so as to solve the worries of the future, and at the same time get Xia Qingqing's gratitude, it is really the best way to kill two birds with one stone."
Song Qingshu shook his head: "Although I am a little hesitant, I'm not going to do such a vicious thing, don't mention it again."
"The benevolence of a woman." Zhao Min looked angry and indisputable, but secretly felt a little more relieved in his heart. Although he lacked the courage to make great things happen, it was precisely because of the generosity in his bones that he let him go. I can get along with him with peace of mind. If he is really that kind of ruthless hero, I probably won't either...
Zhao Min blushed, and then continued: "It's not a bad thing not to kill him. In that way, there will be another gain. First, Yuan Chengzhi has a loyal personality. If you have saved his life, he must not He will make irresponsible remarks about the Golden Snake Camp, even if he regains his memory, because of Concubine Wen, a new confidante, he probably won't be jealous of your desire to take your wife."
Song Qingshu had a black line: "What about the hatred of taking his wife, don't say it so ugly, okay, we all thought he was dead at that time, not to mention that Qingqing and I have also gone through various hardships."
Zhao Min didn't care about it: "Tch, your explanations are too fancy to change the fact that you robbed his wife."
Song Qingshu opened his mouth, and the words he was full of explanations finally turned into a helpless wry smile.
Zhao Min continued: "Is there another benefit? We have now cut off Murong Jingyue's clues. After all, Concubine Wen and his son are in high positions, maybe there will be some clues." She paused, and continued, "Take a moment Wan Bu said that even if they don't have the slightest clue, at least they know about the Yuanyang Saber, and we have always been curious about the secret of the Yuanyang Saber."
After hearing her words, Song Qingshu stood up: "Since you say so, then I'll go and save him."
Zhao Min stood beside him and said with a slight smile: "Actually, you have already made a decision in your heart, and I am just giving you a reason."
Song Qingshu was stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face: "If you want to put your heart on the piano, there are few bosom friends, and who knows if the strings are broken. I never expected to find a bosom friend like the princess in the world."
Two bright red peach blossoms appeared on Zhao Min's fair face: "Hey, who is your bosom friend!"
