Chapter 117 The Ruffian is Difficult to Deal With
What Xiao Jingyan said was really outrageous.
"You want me to be a thief?"
Song Zhao was quite surprised, as if he had heard an unbelievable joke, and smiled helplessly:
"Your Majesty, with your status, why would you need to steal all kinds of rare treasures? If you ask for something, there will be many people who will come to you to give it to you. I am just a concubine, how can I help you?"
"You are right, but this time I want something that only you can help me with."
Xiao Jingyan leaned close to Song Zhao's ear and whispered in a low voice, "Because what I want is the Queen Mother's Tianji Secret Order."
His warm breath poured into Song Zhao's cochlea, giving her goose bumps all over her body.
It wasn't because of his low and catchy voice, but the four words "Tianji Secret Order" that made Song Zhao's scalp numb.
"Are you crazy?" She said with a serious face, her voice lower than Xiao Jingyan's, "The Tianji secret order is the only key that can control the people in the Tianji Office. The Tianji Office always recognizes orders instead of people. The Queen Mother keeps that thing close to her. How can I..."
"Your Excellency will find a way." Xiao Jingyan interrupted Song Zhao's words and said with a calm smile: "The Queen Mother doesn't want to get close to anyone, but you. In the whole palace, only you are so smart that you can steal the Tianji secret order without anyone noticing. Don't worry, I will only use two days, and I will definitely not make it difficult for you."
Even if Xiao Jingyan said anything today, Song Zhao would not help him.
It's outrageous enough to let her be a thief, but now she has to steal the empress dowager's things?
If something happens, not to mention her, even Prince Xiao Jingyan will not survive!
This guy is simply a terminally ill lunatic!
"I can't do this, and I don't have the ability to do it. Your Majesty should find someone else who is more skilled."
Song Zhao decisively rejected Xiao Jingyan. When she was about to leave, she heard Xiao Jingyan whisper behind her,
"Okay, okay, since you are unwilling to help, then I can only go and tell my brother that your stepmother was whipped to death by you yourself."
"You..." Song Zhao turned around suddenly, his sharp eyes met Xiao Jingyan's playful eyes, and he was speechless for a moment.
An inexplicable chill penetrated through her collar, spreading across her skin and reaching her spine.
It's cold to the bone.
The young man in front of her was about her age, with a cynical look on his face and a glib tongue.
How could such a person, who is regarded as a ruffian by the world, know so many of her secrets?
Song Zhao couldn't help but take a breath:
When did he start targeting her?
Xiao Jingyan wanted the Tianji secret order, so when he learned about the relationship between Song Zhao and the Queen Mother, he must have started sending people to secretly keep an eye on Song Zhao.
The hot spring villa is outside the palace and is not as heavily guarded as the palace.
If the princes and nobles were willing, it would not be difficult to send secret guards to keep an eye on a person for twelve hours a day.
so......
Wasn't everything Song Zhao did during this period in the Hot Spring Villa completely exposed to Xiao Jingyan?
Song Zhao thought she was cautious enough.
But you can defend against an open knife, but not a hidden ghost.
Her journey to fight for power in the harem has just begun.
If Xiao Jingyan ran to Xiao Jingheng and talked nonsense at this time,
Not to mention that her grace is gone, there is a high possibility that her head will move away!
Fortunately, Xiao Jingyan still needs her help and will not do anything rash.
Xiao Jingyan was stared at by Song Zhaohan for a long time, pretended to shudder, and said jokingly:
"Your Excellency's eyes look like you want to kill me. Don't worry, people in the palace naturally have their own way of survival. I don't care what you do at all, as long as you can hide it from my brother. I promise you, as long as you help me this time, you can cross your own single-plank bridge in the future, and I will go my own way. I will never bother you again~"
Xiao Jingyan's every word and action revealed an inappropriate ruffian spirit, and he did not have the dignity of a royal family at all.
Because of this, Song Zhao knew more clearly that if she did not obey him today, she would definitely not end up well.
After thinking for a while, she said calmly:
"Okay, I promise."
"Okay~" Xiao Jingyan clapped his hands in a vulgar manner, "Then I will wait for good news from you~"
After that, he called Ah Huan and wanted to take his "big cat" away.
Song Zhao was quick to act and quickly pulled off the jade xun tied around Xiao Jingyan's waist.
Xiao Jingyan was half a beat slower, frowning and reaching out to Song Zhao.
"Give it back to me."
Song Zhao smiled calmly, took the jade xun in his hand and started playing with it, "There are foreign patterns on it. When I was at home before, I happened to hear my father mention that the late emperor got a jade xun with foreign patterns. The jade is transparent and the workmanship is rare. It is a treasure that is only available in the world. My father is a music lover and he once asked the late emperor for it, but the late emperor had already awarded it to the prince.
If the prince wants me to do something for you, you have to give me a guarantee. If I help the prince and he breaks his promise after the task is completed, then I will have no way to deal with him.
The prince gave me this jade xun. If the prince breaks his promise in the future, I will have the jade xun thrown into the brothel and then burn it down, blaming the prince for it. "
Jamel Xiao ignored what she was saying, rolled up his sleeves and started to grab it.
Song Zhao held up the jade xun high and threatened him, "If you come forward again, I will smash the jade xun to pieces. At worst, we will just part ways."
She looked at Jamel Xiao with a smile, raised her eyebrows calmly and said:
"You want the Tianji secret order or the jade flute? Your Highness, make your choice."
"roar!"
Ah Huan leaned forward and growled at Song Zhao.
Before it could show off its power, Jamel Xiao slapped it hard on the forehead.
Ah Huan cried "meow meow" again in pain, shrank his body, and hid behind Xiao Jingyan with a wronged look on his face.
"Okay, then I'll do as you wish." Xiao Jingyan agreed readily, and then said, "Today is the 20th, and ten days later is New Year's Eve. I will give you ten days to prepare. There will be a banquet in the palace on New Year's Eve. When I enter the palace for the banquet, I hope you can hand over the Tianji secret order to me."
Song Zhao replied calmly, "I understand."
After saying this, he put the jade xun close to his body and quickly fled from Xiao Jingyan's side.
Later that day, after Song Zhao returned to his residence, he did not blame Xiao Fuzi for his poor performance, nor did he mention what happened today at all.
How could she blame Xiao Fuzi for not being careful?
After all, even she was exposed in front of Jamel Xiao, so she could only blame herself for being careless and lacking caution.
Song Zhao was supposed to sleep with the emperor tonight, but Xiao Yinzi said that Xiao Jingheng and Prince An were drunk, so they went to bed early tonight.
At night, when Song Zhao was lying alone on the couch, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
As soon as she closed her eyes, Jamel Xiao's handsome but hateful face would appear in her mind!
He wants a free and easy king, so what on earth does he want to do with the Tianji secret order?
Fortunately, the Tianji Secret Order can only govern the court ladies and cannot interfere in government affairs.
Just give it to him, there won’t be any big waves.
But Song Zhao never liked being threatened.
She thought:
I have to find a way in the future.
I have to make that scoundrel admit his defeat in front of me so that I can relieve the anger that is pent up in my chest...
