Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

If Empress Jia knew Song Que’s identity, she would never tolerate his presence.

The reason he got close to Shen Rong and joined Minister Shen’s camp was that he had reached an agreement with Prince Huaiyin.

That was right. The one who really saved him was not Shen Rong, but Prince Huaiyin.

However, the other party did not let him leave after saving him.

Instead, after discussing with him, Prince Huaiyin made other arrangements for him.

At that time, he had agreed to Prince Huaiyin’s conditions in order to protect himself and his family.

However, he did not expect that his wife would also look for Prince Huaiyin in order to locate him.

Moreover, she fought her way through and became the “Great Jin State’s God of Massacre,” changing the battle outlook between the Jin and Liao States in the process.

After that, she had been further conferred the title of marquis and general and also came to the capital.

Now, things had become complicated.

He could only brace himself and continue moving forward.

He had already joined hands with Prince Huaiyin. Other than defeating Empress Jia’s faction and supporting Prince Huaiyin to ascend the throne, there was no other way.

Qin Xiaoyao’s face clouded over.

“Then let’s get rid of Empress Jia and let Prince Huaiyin take the throne,” she said.

She didn’t care about Empress Jia or Prince Huaiyin.

She only knew that she would kill anyone who tried to stop her from being with her husband.

Song Que initially appeared very grim, but he almost burst out laughing because of Qin Xiaoyao’s words.

He couldn’t resist reaching out to cup Qin Xiaoyao’s face.

“It’s not that simple. I have my own plans for this matter. Be good and look after Mother and the others.

“When the opportunity comes, go back to your fiefdom in Xiaoyao County. Or go to the border. In short, stay away from the capital.

“When the overall situation in the capital is settled, 1 will definitely return to look for you.”

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Song Que and broke free from his grip.

“No way! If you don’t agree to work with me, I’ll do it myself.

“It’s just defeating Empress Jia, isn’t it? If you can do it, so can I!” Moreover, she felt that her chances of success were higher.

After all, she was doing much better than him.

Song Que frowned.

“Xiaoyao!” he shouted helplessly.

It was precisely because he was worried that such a situation would happen that he did not dare to meet her.

Qin Xiaoyao merely glanced at him in annoyance.

“It’s useless to call me by my name. It’s settled then.

“If you can really watch me take risks so mindlessly, then you can just watch from the side.” In short, it was impossible for her to retreat first.

A look of helplessness swept over Song Que’s face.

“Alright.” Finally, he sighed and relented.

Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up.

She leaned forward and kissed Song Que on the cheek.

“Don’t worry. The strength of two people is greater than one.

“Moreover, if it really comes to a point where we have no other choice, 1’11 take you and Mother and run away.

“The world is so big. There will always be a place for us.”

As he looked at Qin Xiaoyao’s confident expression, Song Que suppressed the emotions in his heart and smiled.

“Alright.”

Then, he reached out and pulled Qin Xiaoyao back into his arms again.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart was filled with sweetness. She leaned on Song Que’s shoulder with ease of mind.

“Hubby, we’ve been apart for so long. Do you miss me?” Qin Xiaoyao asked shyly as she wrapped her fingers around a strand of hair on Song Que’s chest. Song Que felt his heart becoming ablaze with passion.

Suddenly, he whispered into Qin Xiaoyao’s ear.

“Yes. I miss you day and night…” he said in a low voice.

This was true. After all, he was a normal man.

Qin Xiaoyao’s body trembled.

Then, her cheeks flushed a deep red.

“Then… why don’t we go back to the Marquis’s residence later?” As she said this, her gaze toward Song Que was already tainted with a tinge of coquettishness.

Song Que’s breathing quickened.

“No way.” He rejected her suggestion. However, his hoarse voice betrayed him somewhat.

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.

“Then how about going to an inn?” she said playfully.

Song Que’s eyes darkened.

“Okay…” he consented.

The couple had a tacit understanding.

After agreeing on the time and place, they parted ways.

Then, they tidied up their messy clothes and left the hall separately.

Outside, Prince Huaiyin was still waiting.

When he saw the two of them come out with grave expressions, he had some speculation in his heart.

“Your Highness, let’s go.” Qin Xiaoyao spoke first. Her voice was distant, and she didn’t even look at Song Que.

Prince Huaiyin glanced at Song Que and looked as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant.

Then, he cupped his hands at Song Que and left with Qin Xiaoyao.

Song Que stood on the spot and watched the two of them leave ahead of him with a deep and profound look in his eyes.

He stood there until a young male servant came up to call him.

Only then did he leave.

After Qin Xiaoyao and Prince Huaiyin exited the gate of the Ministry of Rites, they boarded a horse carriage.

In the carriage, Prince Huaiyin had been observing Qin Xiaoyao’s expression from time to time. He still looked like he wanted to say something but was hesitant.

Qin Xiaoyao knew what Prince Huaiyin wanted to ask, but she held her tongue and said nothing.

She had an agreement with her husband that she had to pretend not to know him in front of outsiders and not reveal their relationship to anyone. This naturally included Prince Huaiyin.

“Ahem… Young Master Song might have some difficulties that he couldn’t reveal.” After a while, Prince Huaiyin couldn’t contain himself any longer and spoke to Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao merely raised her eyes and glanced at him.

“Your Highness, you don’t have to speak up for him. I only believe what 1 see,” she said icily.

Prince Huaiyin was stunned momentarily.

“You and Young Master Song…” he continued to ask.

Qin Xiaoyao raised her eyes again and glanced at Prince Huaiyin, but her expression was already tinged with irritation.

“Since he has been found, there is no need to trouble Your Highness with the matter between me and him,” she said.

“Alright then.” Prince Huaiyin had no choice but to stop probing for information.

He was even more certain of his earlier speculation.

Although he felt a little sorry for Song Que, he felt more happy.

Teacher Qin was disappointed in Song Que. To him, it was a good thing, wasn’t it…

Qin Xiaoyao did not know what Prince Huaiyin was thinking.

Although she was maintaining an icy expression, she was actually very excited.

She was already planning her rendezvous with Song Que in the afternoon.

“It was all thanks to you for defeating the Seventh Prince of the Liao State in today’s negotiation. Only then can the peace talk be successfully concluded.

“Regarding this matter, 1 will submit a petition to the Emperor and ask for credit for you.” Prince Huaiyin changed the topic.

“It’s fine. It was a piece of cake,” Qin Xiaoyao replied indifferently. She didn’t seem very interested.

“Though it was a piece of cake for you, it was a great help to us. I will make arrangements for this matter,” Prince Huaiyin insisted.

“Mm-hmm,” Qin Xiaoyao only responded indifferently as if she didn’t really care.

Prince Huaiyin was a little disappointed.

Since he knew that Qin Xiaoyao’s mind was still dwelling on the conflict with Song Que, he didn’t say anything else.

The horse carriage swayed along the way and finally left the palace gates.

After Qin Xiaoyao and Prince Huaiyin got off the carriage, they switched back to their horses.

“Your Highness, I still have some matters to deal with in my residence, so 1 won’t accompany you back to the army camp,” Qin Xiaoyao said suddenly as she cupped her hands at Prince Huaiyin.

Her military rank was high enough, so she didn’t need permission to take leave.

As long as she could complete her military duties and not delay the army’s operation, it was fine for her to go on leave.

Therefore, she was definitely going to skip work in the afternoon.

As for what she was going to do after skipping work, hehe…

Prince Huaiyin did not think much of it and replied, “Alright then. You go ahead and do your own things first..”
