C224 The queen's heart

Song Qingyu paused for a moment before asking, "Why is the empress looking for me?"

The palace maid looked apathetic as she replied carefully, "This servant doesn't know, but esteemed empress did indeed say she wanted to see Miss Song." We're already waiting in the inner hall. "

Inner hall?

When the palace maid saw that Song Qingyu had stopped talking, she led the way and said, "Miss Song sure is blessed. Fourth Miss was highly rewarded just now, and now the empress wants to see Miss Song again."

Great Reward …." Song Qingyu's heart skipped a beat as he understood that everything was going well for Song Shu tonight.

Song Qingyu followed the palace maid straight back.

Within the main hall of the Phoenix Xiang Palace.

Song Qingyu did not know that the inner hall mentioned by the palace maid was actually the empress's palace. When he came here, Song Qingyu's eyes were already wide open. The palace maid brought Song Qingyu in and left immediately.

There were no court ladies or eunuchs in the huge inner hall. Everything was as quiet as the night. Song Qingyu speculated about the Empress's intentions. He had never had anything to do with the empress, and he had helped her before.

Why had the queen come here to talk to her?

Walking forward a few steps, he heard sounds coming from within. Only then did Song Qing and Yu dare to walk to the other side. In the middle, a fragrant incense was lit. The Queen sat on it. She was not accompanied by any palace maids.

"He's coming."

When Song Qingyu saw the empress, he immediately knelt down. "My daughter Song Qingyu greets the empress."

The empress had a faint smile on her face as she put down the teacup. She had no intention of letting Song Qingyu get up. His eyes were calm, but hidden within was a sharp glint of light.

"Song Qingyu, do you know why I called you here?"

Song Qingyu knelt on the ground and honestly replied, "This humble girl does not know."

When Song Qingyu had finished speaking, a cold snort came from the higher ups, "Yi'er suffered a hundred blows on your behalf and almost lost her life. Now that she has just recovered, she has already accepted the royal decree to lead her troops to the north. You say you don't know?"

When he heard the empress say 100 boards, Song Qingyu could not help but shiver. He felt a sharp pain in his heart and knelt on the ground, lowering his head. He forced out a few words with great difficulty.

"This humble girl doesn't know."

The empress watched her kneeling on the ground, her face calm and composed. The girl in front of him had once been his half savior.

The Queen stood up and stretched out her hand to hold Song Qingyu's.

When those warm hands touched Song Qingyu's cold hands, Song Qingyu could not help but feel as if his heart had been pricked, as if he had touched something he could not touch. He could not help but retreat, but the Queen held him tightly in her hands.

"Do you know? After Yi'er, I have a little princess who is as intelligent and sensible as you. But the child was too sensible. Yi'er was seven years old. She was five years old. Yi'er had been too popular since she was young and had attracted the jealousy of others, causing him to be injured. However, when she handed him a cup of medicinal wine, she drank it for Yi'er first … "Yi'er …"

As the Queen spoke, her eyes grew dim and she did not continue speaking.

"You're a smart child, you should know that every moment in the palace changes. Today, I'm the queen of more than ten thousand people. Have you ever thought about how once King Yi causes a great disaster for you, I won't be able to protect him?"

Song Qingyu's gaze was faint, but his heart felt as if it was filled with pain. He lowered his head and said sincerely, "Empress, don't worry. This humble one has never wished to get close to King Yi. "He won't interfere with the future of the Yi King either."

As Song Qingyu spoke, he could feel the warmth of the Queen's palms.

The warmth burned her palms. This caused her to be in despair, yet she did not regret it. She had once known Zuo Linyi. Zuo Linyi was a high and mighty person who did not know how to learn, but he would make her fall in love with him. He treated her with sincerity and trusted her with all his heart.

She was the one who carried the hatred on her back, and should not have touched the world of Zuo Linyi.

"No, that is not what I meant. The reason why I'm telling you all this is because I think you're an intelligent girl. " The empress looked down at her condescendingly before slowly releasing her hand. She stood in front of Song Qingyu with a natural awe-inspiring air.

Song Qingyu's expression gradually changed, his grave expression making it impossible for him to understand what the Empress was really thinking.

If he didn't mean it that way, what did he mean by that?

"I can't interfere with Yi'er's decision. "I'm only reminding you. I've fought with Consort Chen for my entire life, and you're the daughter-in-law that Consort Chen doesn't want but has to take. If I allow you to marry King Yi, then wouldn't that be me slapping myself in the face?"

The empress was unfazed. "King Yi is only a few days away from battle, and the emperor has promised King Yi that he will draft an imperial edict." As long as he returns in triumph, your engagement to King Yu will be annulled. "I hope that by the time he returns, you will already be the person Chen Fei likes and approves of."

Song Qingyu was shocked by the sudden change. He opened his eyes wide, staring at the empress's every move. However, the empress was as beautiful and gentle as before, without any expression on her face.

Song Qingyu was both happy and surprised.

More importantly, Zuo Linyi had been severely injured by her words just now.

"Esteemed Empress, why do you think this humble one will agree?"

"Just based on the fact that Yi'er was so ridiculous, the Emperor agreed to his request in the end. With Yi'er's capabilities, I will definitely command your troops from behind! "Song Qingyu, don't you like your future husband to be so outstanding?"

The Queen was persuasive. He had no idea what just happened at the rockery.

Song Qingyu lowered his head. She was not the least bit interested in the Empress's enticement.

However, with the support of the empress, it would be easy to suppress Chen Fei and suppress the country.

Moreover, perhaps Zuo Lin Yi had returned victorious and he had avenged his great vengeance. Perhaps he had long since forgotten about this relationship. He would return to Yue City then.

Song Qingyu reacted quickly and knelt down respectfully. His blue skirt fell to the ground. "This humble one will definitely live up to Empress' expectations."

"You are a smart person, I trust you. Next month's Empress Dowager's birthday feast is your chance to get close to Consort Chen. "If you are unable to accomplish that, you will become a corpse before Yi'er returns."

The empress raised an eyebrow, her threatening tone making it seem as if she had only said a few polite words. The banquet was bustling with noise and excitement. Don't wander around anymore, go back. "Think about it carefully."

It was hard to stop halfway. Song Qingyu knew what the Empress meant. If he couldn't do it, the Empress wouldn't slap him in the face. She would definitely think of a way to deal with him before King Yi returned.

The Queen's godly army was not just a decoration.

Song Qingyu nodded.

He then walked out respectfully.

Just as she walked out of the door, the moonlight shone down on her.

Song Qingyu followed the group out of Phoenix Cry Palace. The Imperial Gardens was located on the right side of the palace. After exiting the palace, they made a few turns before they heard the sounds of people cheering and singing at the banquet.

Song Qingyu stepped in gently.

He was suddenly stopped in his tracks. Song Qing and Yu Ding looked, it was Su Shining. Susenin, alone, blocked her way. Su Sining's upbringing was very good. If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, she would not have acted so rashly.

"Song Qingyu, you're coming out of the Phoenix's Xiang Palace?" As Susining spoke, he sized up Song Qingyu.

Song Qingyu smiled lightly and ignored Su Sining's warning, "I just went down the wrong path. Maybe I went to the Phoenix Nest Palace and got sent here. I can't remember that, after all, the palace doesn't allow me to walk about without permission, and with my gigantic head, I won't bring about my own destruction. "
