Hearing Taj-tish's proposal, Ge Bi frowned slightly. "It's a good idea, but it's difficult to realize. First of all, if Liao really wants to send the bride, he will definitely take a detour through Mongolia. How can he go to Western Xia through our territory? If he takes a detour to the north, he won't be able to frame Wu Xi of Sichuan. "
Since Taj-tish had proposed this plan, she had naturally considered the problems involved. She explained unhurriedly, "Under normal circumstances, he won't pass through here. But now, Qingshu can influence Liao to some extent."
Song Qingshu also opened his mouth. "Although I can influence Liao's decision, it's obvious that I'm walking into a trap. All the civil and military officials in the court will definitely oppose it." After becoming an emperor, he realized that the emperor could not do whatever he wanted. There were a series of rules that quietly kept him in check.
"Of course we won't let Liao's wedding procession go here openly." A cunning light flashed in Taj-tish's eyes. "Qingshu can send Commandery Princess Cheng 'an away first. Then, we'll disguise ourselves as Liao's wedding procession and appear at the border of Sichuan. Then, we'll pretend to be kidnapped by the Southern Song army. Then, we'll announce that the future crown princess of Western Xia has fallen into Wu Xi's hands. Because Liao can't contact Commandery Princess Cheng' an and doesn't know whether it's true or not, he naturally can't refute it."
Her words made everyone's eyes light up. Song Qingshu looked at her in surprise. "Dragon King, you've really impressed me. I didn't expect you to be so talented in deceiving people."
Taj-tish rolled her eyes at him. "Are you praising me or insulting me?"
"But Sichuan knows very well that they didn't kidnap Commandery Princess Cheng 'an. What if they stand out and deny it?" Ge Bi was still a little confused.
This time, it was Wanyan Ping's turn to explain. "Since ancient times, all thieves would say that they were wronged. As the biggest suspects, who would believe them? And in this chaotic time, the ruffians at the bottom like to pretend to be mountain bandits to rob and kill passing rich families. Maybe Wu Xi himself doesn't know whether it was done by the people at the bottom or not. How can he deny it? "
Ge Bi was like a flower in a greenhouse. Since she was young, she hadn't seen much of the dark side. Even though Wanyan Ping was still young, but because she was in charge of the laundry yard, she knew more about the dirty things of the lower class.
Song Qingshu finally made the decision and said, "Alright, we'll deal with West Shu this way for the time being. I'll have to trouble Ping 'er to arrange the details." The Laundry Yard was the intelligence agency of the Jin Kingdom, so it was easy for them to deal with this kind of thing.
At this time, a eunuch suddenly came in and reported, "The Princess of Penglai requests an audience." The Princess of Penglai was Wanyan Chongjie.
"What is she doing here?" The group of people looked at each other, not knowing what she was up to.
Ge Bi didn't want to see her at first, but she was worried that she had something important to do, so she ordered, "Invite her in." Then, she put on Wanyan Rui's mask again. Because Wanyan Ping had to make plans, she took the opportunity to return to the laundry yard.
Not long after, under the guidance of a eunuch, a beautiful young girl slowly walked in. Her skin was incomparably white and tender, like cream, as if water was about to drip out. Her eyes were flowing, and her elegant eyebrows were slender. Although because of her age, she still hadn't matured, but it could be seen that in the future, she would definitely be a stunning beauty that could cause the downfall of a country.
"She has completely inherited her mother's beauty, and even surpassed her." Song QingShu secretly sighed in admiration. Every time he saw Wanyan Zhongjie, he felt a sense of awe. In particular, that youthful and immature look of a young girl was enough to make any man feel pity for her.
"Chongjie greets Your Imperial Majesty." Wanyan Chongjie walked in and bowed to Ge Bi, then turned to Song Qingshu and bowed, "Greetings, Marshal Du." As he spoke, he secretly winked at him.
Song QingShu's heart skipped a beat. What a little vixen. Even with his current self-control, his mind was almost swayed by her seduction. If she wanted to flirt with some young boys, she would probably be able to attract a large number of young men in the capital to bow down to her with a flick of her finger.
"Chongjie, what business have you come to the palace for?" Ge Bi looked at the young woman below the stage dotingly. According to seniority, she was the young woman's aunt. Perhaps it was because the Tang Kuo family and the Chung Jie family were both in dire straits that they sympathized with each other, but their relationship had been very good over the years.
"I haven't come to pay my respects to Your Imperial Majesty in a long time, so I came to pay my respects to Your Imperial Majesty." Wanyan Chongjie giggled, her eyes like two crescent moons. Even as women, they couldn't help but admit her charm and find it hard to be angry at her.
"Nonsense!" Ge Bi thought to herself, "If you weren't my niece, it would be strange if you didn't get flogged today." You came to the palace for this matter? "
Wanyan Chongjie blinked and replied in a deadpan manner, "Is paying my respects to Your Imperial Majesty not a big deal?" Noticing that everyone's expressions had darkened, she said, "There's one more thing. My mother wants to invite Uncle to her residence as a guest, so I came to invite Uncle. I hope that Uncle will do me the honor."
Taitish, who was standing to the side, frowned. "You didn't invite anyone in the past, so why did you have to invite him today?"
Wanyan Chongjie pouted. "My mother just happened to have a sudden impulse today. What's wrong with this kind of coincidence?"
Taitish snorted. She couldn't very well say that she suspected that Wanyan Chongjie was here for Song Qingshu, so she could only ignore her.
Ge Bi was also somewhat dissatisfied. "If you want to invite Uncle, why don't you go to the Commander-In-Chief's residence? Why do you have to come to the palace?" She and Song Qingshu had not seen each other for a long time. Naturally, she didn't want him to be invited away by another woman as soon as he returned. However, with her current identity as Wanyan Xi, there were many things that were inconvenient for her to say.
"I went to the Commander-In-Chief's residence, but the people there said that Uncle had come to the palace, so I had no choice but to come here," Wanyan Chongjie said innocently.
"Couldn't you have waited for him outside the palace? Why did you have to disturb Us for this matter?" How could Ge Bi not understand that Wanyan Chongjie's visit to pay his respects was an excuse. His real purpose was to invite Tang Kuo to explain.
Thinking of her charming and enchanting mother, Ge Bi couldn't help but frown. Although Pucha Alihu was the most beautiful woman of the previous generation in the Jin Kingdom, her reputation had never been good. It was rumored that she had had ambiguous relationships with many men over the years. As a result, Ge Bi, who had always been clean and pure, didn't like her very much.
"If I had waited for him outside the palace, perhaps he wouldn't have left today." Wanyan Chongjie said meaningfully. At the same time, his gaze swept across Ge Bi and Taitish's faces, causing their hearts to skip a beat.
"Could it be that she knows something?" Ge Bi subconsciously looked at Song Qingshu. When the opportunity arose, she would definitely ask him about it.
"Alright, I'll go with you later." Song Qingshu knew that something must have happened for Chongjie to look for him so urgently. Thus, he decided to go and see what exactly was going on.
