Chapter 607: Discovering the Palace’s Secret Affairs
“I’ll make arrangements. Once Princess Roujia enters the palace later, I’ll lead her here. You should quickly deal with Consort Tong afterward.” Dongfang Muxue’s voice transmission lingered in Song Qingshu’s ears before she left, leaving him with a helpless smile.
Watching ‘Kangxi’ leave, Consort Tong grew increasingly anxious. She stood there with her head lowered, nervously wringing the edge of her sleeve.
‘What should I do? Am I really going to… with him?’
‘But the Emperor has already issued an edict. How can I refuse?’

Song Qingshu observed her with interest. Seeing the glimmer of tears in her eyes, a warmth stirred in his heart. Previously, he had only regarded her as a plaything, but he never expected her to have such a delicate and pitiful side.
In the past, Song Qingshu often, under the guise of Kangxi, favored Consort Tong. Her reactions had never been so intense. However, after Dongfang Muxue’s clever arrangement, he could now openly face Consort Tong as himself.
Song Qingshu couldn’t help but reminisce about his days in the palace, serving as a guard. Every time he encountered Consort Tong, he had to bow respectfully. Now, the woman who once stood high above him was within arm’s reach. The stark contrast in their statuses filled him with exhilaration.
‘Too wicked! Dongfang Muxue is far too wicked!’ Song Qingshu marveled at her ingenuity. With just a few words, she had created such a classic role-playing scenario. How could he let her efforts go to waste?
