Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 67

Song Qingtong rubbed his temples, there was chaos in the palace, and the capital was not peaceful. Although Ji Ruyi was strong in martial arts, she seemed to be inexperienced and easily deceived, and said, "I'll send someone to look for it."

Chu Tianmo took a deep look at Song Qingtong, and said with concern: "Master Ji Gu, I will send someone to look for it. The emperor will go to court early tomorrow, and he should return to the palace earlier."

Song Qingtong nodded. She was relieved to leave this matter to Chu Tianmo. She raised her eyes to look at Chu Tianmo, only to find that his eyes were bloodshot, and her heart sank inexplicably. She knew that these two days , Chu Tianmo has been accompanying Ji Ruyi to visit the capital, going out early in the morning every day, and only coming back when it is dark, although she does not know why Chu Tianmo values ​​Ji Ruyi so much, but she understands that Chu Tianmo must have his reasons for doing so.

After returning to the bedroom, taking a bath and changing clothes, and practicing the internal exercises for a while, the light in the bedroom gradually decreased. Yu'er came in to light the lamp, and at the same time presented a piece of paper, "Your Majesty, Song Chang sent someone to send it."

Song Qingtong took the paper and opened it for a look. He shook his head and called out Chi Xiao and Zhan Lu: "Inform Xiangfu and Shangguan Patriarch that there is no need to look for it. Master Ji Gu is having a drink in Suoxin Palace."

Suoxin Palace is Song Zhaoye's sleeping palace, the location is extremely remote, Song Qingtong sat on the dragon chariot, walked for a while, the dragon chariot landed in front of a low and dilapidated palace, got off the dragon chariot, Song Qingtong frowned Looking up, the red paint painted on the palace gate is mottled and hard to distinguish, and there is a lot of withered grass growing on the roof of the palace. Under the pale moon and cold stars, it looks particularly bleak. Is this where Song Zhaoye lives?How come he never mentioned it to her?
Just as he was about to open the door and enter, a figure flashed beside him. Song Qingtong stretched out his eyes and saw that the figure was slim in moon white clothes, and he smiled with his lips curled up: "The queen is so fast!"

Shangguan Lianyue raised her head slightly as an answer, and the two of them walked through the slightly narrow front hall. Two eunuchs stood at the door of the sleeping hall. He waved his hand and walked into the bedroom.

The smell of wine in the sleeping hall was fragrant, and Song Zhaoye's clear and melodious laughter came, "Gu and Sister Beauty hit it off right away, and this glass of wine is full for Sister Beauty."

The two walked around the four screens, the candlesticks in the hall were burning brightly, Song Zhaoye was sitting on the heated kang table, and there was a table set up in front of him, Ji Ruyi was sitting opposite the table, her pink and tender face was already flushed, she had obviously drank a lot liquor.

"Uncle Huang is not authentic. We searched all over the capital for our uncle, but you hid him here." Song Qingtong joked as she walked over.

Ji Ruyi looked out with drunken eyes, her tongue was weak: "Nephew and daughter-in-law? Lianyue? The uncle has only been focusing on visiting the capital these days, but he has forgotten about you young couple."

Song Zhaoye looked at Song Qingtong, with a smile on his lips: "Tongtong, get on the kang to warm up." As he spoke, he moved his body into the kang.

Song Qingtong walked to the warm kang, only to find that there was a person lying upside down in the kang. His bald head was particularly eye-catching, and his small face was like a ripe apple. He was obviously drunk. It's a sin to even leave the monks alone!"

While talking, he sat beside Song Zhaoye and looked down. There were plates of sliced ​​mutton and various vegetarian dishes on the table. Red charcoal was burning under the copper pot, and the pot was steaming. They were cooking hot pot!It looks delicious.

Shangguan Lianyue was already sitting beside Ji Ruyi, with her face still tense, Song Zhaoye filled a glass of wine for Song Qingtong, "This is rice wine brewed by an orphan. It tastes sweet and not intoxicating."

Song Qingtong cast a sideways glance at Song Zhaoye, Cheng Guan was so drunk that he was unconscious, no wonder she believed him!However, the aroma of the wine still made Song Qingtong unable to resist taking a sip. The taste was mellow and very light, delicious!

Song Zhaoye graciously picked up a few slices of cooked meat for Song Qingtong again. At this time, a tall figure flashed behind the screen. A small family with a Peng family can't hold a great god like Master Chu."

Song Qingtong had long been used to Song Zhaoye's way of speaking, so she didn't take it seriously, she got up and told Chu Tianmo, "Father Xiang, since you're here, drink a cup of hot wine to warm your body."

Chu Tianmo smiled when he heard the words, his eyes fell on Song Qingtong's warm and soft smile, and he couldn't help but sit in front of the kang table.

Song Qingtong filled a glass of rice wine for Chu Tianmo, and said with a smile, "This rice wine tastes sweet and sweet, Xiangfu should try it."

Before Chu Tianmo picked up the wine glass, Song Zhaoye's eyes flashed, and he grabbed the wine glass with his hands, "Wine is drunk with friends, and lonely wine is only brewed for friends. Come, bring the pot of tea left over from last night!" "

"Pfft!" Song Qingtong spat out the wine, and stared at Song Zhaoye with warning eyes. Song Zhaoye seemed to feel that he was a little too much, and quickly added: "Wait! That pot of tea... heat it up Bring it again!"

Song Zhaoye's words caused the temperature on the wine table to suddenly drop below zero, Chu Tianmo's eyes narrowed dangerously, Song Qingtong was very clear-headed at the moment, it didn't matter if he couldn't fight, Ji Ruyi and Shangguan Lianyue were there , Xiangfu will have a sense of proportion.

Even though he thought so, Song Qingtong still leaned forward slightly, trying to block between the two of them as much as possible, and ordered the attendant to bring more bowls and chopsticks.

Ji Ruyi didn't notice that the atmosphere was wrong at all, and greeted Chu Tianmo with a smile.

Chu Tianmo glanced at Ji Ruyi and smiled slightly: "Master Ji Gu, there is a temporary delay today, and tomorrow the Japanese official will accompany you to Lanshe Guyun."

Ji Ruyi smiled all over her face: "No need for a senior officer, I see that you have a lot of things to do, and when you go out for a walk, there will always be people chasing after you to report big and small things. It would be nice if Xiao Ye was with me."

Xiao Ye... Song Qingtong recited it N times silently in her heart, but she still had some indigestion.Chu Tianmo looked at Song Zhaoye coldly, Song Zhaoye responded with provocative eyes, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder again, Song Qingtong quickly picked up a piece of lotus root from the copper pot, put it into Chu Tianmo's bowl, and said: "Father Xiang, lotus root slices are very refreshing!" This move successfully diverted Chu Tianmo's attention.

Chu Tianmo glanced at the sliced ​​lotus root in the bowl, hesitated for a moment, saw Song Qingtong staring at him with bright eyes, thanked him, picked it up and put it in his mouth, Song Zhaoye's eyes turned slightly, his heart was like a mirror, Chu Tianmo didn't like to eat lotus root piece!
At this time, the attendant brought a pot of tea and put it in front of Chu Tianmo. Chu Tianmo's eyes dimmed, and he pushed the teapot aside. The hot air rose from the spout, and Song Qingtong smelled a strong and mellow fragrance. The fragrance of tea, I poured out a cup curiously, the aroma became stronger and stronger, I put it to my mouth and took a sip, I just felt the fresh air piercing through my lungs, and exclaimed: "This tea is so special!" Even the leftover tea in the uncle's house smells like this!
