Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 164 Out of Control and Choice (2)
At dusk, Song Qingtong and Shangguan Lianyue presided over the palace banquet in Changle Palace together. The ministers were enthusiastic and said festive and auspicious words. Although Song Qingtong was tired of hearing these words, she still listened with a smile. After watching the firecrackers and fireworks, when the banquet was over, he ordered people to distribute the happy money to every minister, eunuch, and court lady present. Now that she has money, the Southern Dynasty is rich, and the Northern Qin treasury is full. When Chu Tianmo comes back next year, She discussed with him a series of decrees on tax reduction and exemption to let the people recuperate.

The New Year's Eve banquet lasted until late at night, and when they returned to the bedroom, Chengying stepped forward to report, "Mr. Ronggui has been here for a long time."

Song Qingtong was slightly surprised. She escaped from Shengtian that day and stopped by to visit Leng Junxie, just in time for him to fall asleep. It was time to go to see him, but thinking that he had dared to blatantly violate her will, she purposely refrained from going.

"Apart from Mr. Ronggui, there is no one else?"

Chengying understood what Song Qingtong meant, and replied: "In the afternoon, Chengliang sent someone to say that it was dusk, and his subordinates had already sent someone to Qingfeng to watch."

Song Qingtong nodded slowly, the guards at Qingfeng Temple hadn't withdrawn, so there should be nothing wrong, Shangguan Lianyue's eyes turned slightly, he knew that Song Qingtong sent Chengguan to take someone to pick up the water mirror, logically it should have arrived , Did something go wrong in the middle?King Qing and his remnants have not yet been arrested, which is always a hidden danger!He has sent people to look for them, but they have not been found.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to take a look." Shangguan Lianyue said.

Song Qingtong nodded, she was relieved that he would go in person, and smiled: "Queen of hard work, I am waiting for the good news in the bedroom."

At this time, the dormitory was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there was a joyous atmosphere.The long table was filled with all kinds of delicacies, and the dishes were still being served as the palace people shuttled back and forth. The inner court's New Year's Eve banquet had just begun.

Song Qingtong cast his eyes on the armchair. Leng Junxie was struggling to stand up in a plain long gown, and said angrily, "It's freezing cold, why are you here?" He stepped forward to help him sit back, his eyes were close Looking at Leng Junxie from a distance, his cheekbones were exposed, and he was so thin that he couldn't help feeling distressed.

Leng Junxie's heart warmed. It turned out that she cared about him, but why didn't she come to see him? Was she still blaming him?Looking at Song Qingtong with a bitter smile, he said hoarsely: "Please punish the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Song Qingtong's heart became soft, but when she caught the persistence in his eyes, her heart sank slightly, and she said, "Ah Xie, I have no intention of punishing you, and besides, even if I punish you, I have to wait for you to die." Let’s talk about it after your injury is healed.”

Leng Junxie's heart sank, he didn't say anything when they met, and apologized first!This was ordered by the renter before he left. Although he made amends, deep down in his heart, he still hated Yun Jin and Li Gong!
Song Qingtong ignored Leng Junxie, looked down at the dishes on the table, and ordered: "Tell me what you said, I don't need you to serve here. Take half of these dishes and give them to you." The palace man smiled happily. Hehe leave.

The hall became quiet, Song Qingtong looked at the hall full of festive atmosphere, feeling in her heart, this is the first New Year's Eve she spent in this time and space, she lost everything, but gained a lot.

Song Qingtong knew that Leng Junxie's knot was difficult to solve, so he sat down in front of the chair beside him, picked up a chopstick and put a dumpling into Leng Junxie's bowl, and said to himself, "Ah Xie, I understand how you feel. , even though he is the Mistress of the Li Palace, he did not instigate the poisoning that day, and now Bei Qin has won the Southern Dynasty, he has contributed the most."

Leng Junxie glanced down at the dumplings in the bowl. He naturally understood the power of them. He took a deep breath. He could not pursue Yun Jin, but he would never allow Guardian Li Gongyou to get away with it. Even if he was Emperor Liao, he would Disregarding his eyes, he fixed his firm eyes on Song Qingtong: "Your Majesty, after I recover from my injury, I ask you to agree to send troops to the Liao Kingdom!"

Song Qingtong frowned slightly, and shook his head, the cost of launching a war was too high.

Seeing this, Leng Junxie lowered his eyelids and clenched his fists tightly.She was unwilling to start a war for him alone. All of this was within his expectations, but he was still unwilling.

Song Qingtong took Leng Junxie's expression into his eyes, and smiled faintly: "Ah Xie, what you have to deal with is Xiao Yu, we just need to find a way to take him down!"

Leng Junxie's gloomy eyes flashed a gleam. Although she didn't agree to him sending troops, she promised him to capture Xiao Yu. She cared about him, and her words were enough! "Tong'er..." Hold Song Qingtong's little hand.

Song Qingtong smiled slightly. In fact, she did this not because Xiao Yu poisoned the Queen to death, but because he dared to hold her hostage. This must be settled!Hanging down the curtain, he glanced at the hand held by Leng Junxie, his eyes flashed, and he withdrew his hand without a trace.

Leng Junxie froze for a moment, looking at Song Qingtong a little more thoughtfully.

Song Qingtong thought about it and said: "Ah Xie, I don't blame you for what happened last time. I figured it out. The harem and the court must be separated. I will give you a chance to choose. If you want to be in the court, the harem must be separated." Besides your status, if you choose to stay in the harem, your position in the court will no longer be retained."

The hall became more and more quiet. Leng Junxie stared at Song Qingtong. After all, did she mind? He could give up his military power, but he wanted to protect her and Bei Qin. She couldn't deprive him of the right to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and defend the country!

Thinking of this, Leng Junxie said: "Neither of these two ministers will choose!"

Song Qingtong's eyes flickered slightly, his answer was expected, but also unexpected, the battlefield is the world where he can display his talents, it seems that he takes it very seriously, in fact, she gave him this It's a difficult problem, but it's not because of Yun Jin's matter.

Leng Junxie saw that Song Qingtong was still silent, and his tone became more determined: "Your Majesty, I can hand over my military power, but if there are dangerous officials in Beiqin, I still have to go into battle! Please do it!"

Song Qingtong frowned slightly. The imperial physician said that the arrow in his heart had hurt his heart. From now on, let alone not being able to fight the enemy, he could not even be tired or do any exercise. Dongfang Rui was afraid that he would not be able to bear the blow, so he dared not tell him about his condition. he.

Looking at Leng Junxie with contemplative eyes, he is currently seriously injured, this news cannot be told to him, and his voice slowed down: "Ah Xie, I will leave what I said just now, if you make up your mind, you can come and tell me at any time "It would be better to let him choose to stay in the harem than to have to.
