Song Liang covered his neck and fell to the ground. He almost rolled his eyes and lost his breath.
Hearing Song De's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes!
If someone chokes you, can you still be fine?
Isn’t this nonsense!
However, when facing Song De, Song Liang still did not show any irritable and dissatisfied emotions.
Instead, he took the initiative to open his mouth and comfort the other person.
"Second brother, Brother Chen is fine!"
"As long as the misunderstanding between us can be resolved, the grievance my brother has suffered is nothing."
"It's just that Ma Shaoxing is extremely dangerous. Second brother must quickly find a way to get rid of this scourge!"
Mentioning Ma Shaoxing, Song De's anger surged instantly, and his chest expanded involuntarily.
"Song Huan is so cunning and cunning that he actually sent such an unknown rat to plot against me..."
"I will prepare a letter and send it to Li Pingan!"
"Ask Li Pingan to kill him immediately!"
Song Liang pressed down the frustrated Song Desheng and shook his head: "No!"
"Everyone knows Li Ping'an's relationship with the general and his second brother."
"If the fourth brother secretly sends someone to monitor the second brother and me, there is no guarantee that he will not send someone to monitor Li Ping'an's every move!"
"By the way, second brother, are there any guards on duty at the palace gate among the general's subordinates?"
Song De nodded: "Although it's not much, it does exist."
"What's wrong?"
Now that there is an acquaintance at the palace gate, things will be much easier to handle.
Song Liang's eyes flashed with light, and a meaningful smile formed on the corner of his mouth.
"It's better..."
The direction of the story finally started to become interesting.
…
"My lord, you are back!"
Seeing Song Huan return to the palace, Su Yuru greeted him happily, as if he was a little pet that was finally looking forward to his master's return home.
However, Song Huan's expression was a bit serious and he had no time to pay attention to him.
In Su Yuru's slightly disappointed eyes, Song Huan locked himself in the study and called Huo Qi.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
Looking at Huo Qi who looked as usual in front of him, Song Huan asked lightly.
"Huo Qi, how often does Father summon you?"
As soon as these words came out, Huo Qi's relaxed nerves instantly became tense!
"Your Highness, what are you..."
Seeing Huo Qi's strange expression, Song Huan continued: "As the leader of the Shadow Guards, although you are usually around me, the rest of the Shadow Guards in the palace are also at your disposal."
"As the head of the Shadow Guard, don't you need to report your duties to Father on time?"
After hearing Song Huan's explanation, Huo Qi's tense nerves relaxed a little.
"If there is no special summons from His Majesty, it will be reported every five days."
"Your Majesty has no special requirements for the Shadow Guards, so there is no need to always appear in front of His Majesty."
Song Huan continued to ask casually: "If you report your duties to the emperor, will you report the movements of the king and the other princes to the emperor?"
This sudden question made Huo Qi's breathing stop for half a beat!
"Your Highness, why did you suddenly..."
"Asked about this?"
Song Huan raised his head and glanced at Huo Qi: "Why are you hesitating today? You don't look like you normally!"
"I just want to know, will my father be able to control the movements of Song De, Song Liang and others?"
Huo Qi seemed to be relieved when he heard Song Huan ask this.
"If His Majesty had not given instructions in advance, the Shadow Guards would not have secretly observed the behavior of the princes."
"I will not report to His Majesty rashly."
Huo Qi's expression was a little different from usual, but Song Huan had been looking down and thinking about his own things, and didn't notice anything unusual about Huo Qi.
"Although the shadow guards do not monitor the prince, if the prince behaves abnormally, it is understandable for you to report it to the father..."
"Huo Qi, when will the next time you report to your father be?"
Huo Qi lowered his head and replied: "The day after tomorrow."
Song Huan nodded: "Very good."
"When the time comes, you will report to the emperor that the second prince, Song De, has been leaving the palace frequently late at night recently and no one knows where he has gone."
Huo Qi's expression was hesitant: "Your Highness..."
Song Huan knew that his request was really too much.
As a shadow guard, although Huo Qi is responsible for protecting his own safety, he is also directly loyal to the country's supreme ruler, Emperor Liang.
To ask him to lie in front of Emperor Liang is to ask him to betray his master!
This is a mistake that no smart guard should make easily.
However, Song Huan's face was filled with indescribable expressions.
"I know you will refuse, and you will feel that I have lied to my father!"
"However, Song De's ambition is clearly revealed."
"In the next three days, he will not be able to surrender and he will really observe mourning for three years!"
"If he does something treasonous and contrary to human ethics in these three days, and my father has no time to prepare, the consequences will be really disastrous!"
"However, as a prince, it is impossible for me to tell my father that I have sent you to follow and monitor Song De!"
Having said this, Song Huan looked at Huo Qi seriously.
"Shiwei Huo, can you understand what I'm saying?"
Huo Qi always lowered his head, with no expression on his face, as if he was in a trance, making it difficult to figure out what he was thinking.
After a long while, Huo Qicai turned slightly to Song Huan and said, "Your Highness, I know what to do!"
"After this incident has passed, I have something very important that I want to tell His Highness."
Seeing that Huo Qi agreed without much hesitation, Song Huan couldn't help but feel a little happy.
"good!"
"Shiwei Huo, it would be great if you could understand my original intention."
"But, is there anything important that we can't talk about now?"
The expression on Huo Qi's face was a little strange, but he still shook his head at Song Huan.
"As the leader of the Shadow Guard, this subordinate shouldn't have said anything about this matter."
"However, during the period of following His Highness, I have figured out many things!"
"What is loyalty, what is benevolence and righteousness, what is a clear conscience..."
"His Highness can do these things, Ma Shaoxing can do them, and I think I should be able to do them too!"
"It's just that this matter is too important."
"Please give me some more time, Your Highness. When this matter comes to an end, I will definitely tell Your Highness everything in detail!"
Looking at Huo Qi's very sincere eyes, Song Huan's heart moved.
Today's Huo Qi is indeed very different from the cold-faced killer when he first met him!
Today, although he is still ruthless and doesn't talk much, he is still much more humane than before.
It was as if he had transformed from a killing machine with sophisticated algorithms into a flesh-and-blood human being.
Perhaps even he himself was not aware of such a change!
Song Huan didn't say much, but nodded thoughtfully.
"Okay, I'm waiting for you!"
