Song Qingshu was shocked. If things really got out of hand, he would have to save Lin Pingzhi even if he had to expose his identity.
Li Qinglu's soldiers stepped forward and were about to take Lin Pingzhi away. Lin Pingzhi suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, "I have failed to live up to the General's kindness. I can't complete this important task."
"Wait!" Li Qinglu raised her hand to stop her soldiers from taking him away. Then she came in front of Lin Pingzhi and said condescendingly, "Have you thought it through?"
The expression on Lin Pingzhi's face kept changing. Apparently, he was struggling mentally. Li Qinglu took the opportunity to say, "No matter what, you have to tell us eventually. Instead of telling us later, you'd better tell us earlier to avoid physical pain. We won't mistreat you."
Lin Pingzhi finally opened his mouth, "If I tell you, will you spare my life?"
"Of course." Li Qinglu couldn't help but feel happy when she saw that his tone was relaxed.
Lin Pingzhi continued to ask, "I need a guarantee."
Li Qinglu frowned and finally snorted. She raised the golden token in her hand and said, "I am Princess Yinchuan of the Xixia Country. I am under the direct control of the Emperor. If you see this token, you will see me! As the saying goes, the Emperor does not joke. I have promised in front of so many people. How can I go back on my words and bring shame to the Emperor's reputation? Moreover, I can promise you that as long as you tell me everything, I will not only spare your life, but also guarantee you a high position and wealth for the rest of your life. "
Lin Pingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the soles of his feet and said, "There is a letter sewn in the soles of my shoes."
Li Qinglu waved her hand. Someone had already taken off his shoes and opened them. Then they unstitched the soles of his shoes and found that there was a letter hidden in them.
Li Qinglu was about to take the letter when she saw it. But when she thought that it was taken from the soles of a stinky man, she couldn't help but show a trace of disgust, "Open the letter and take it away from me. I want to see the Emperor."
When her subordinates opened the letter, Li Qinglu carefully read it from three steps away. When she saw the handwriting on it, she couldn't help but change her expression. She hurriedly said, "Put the letter away. I will go to the Palace to see the Emperor."
It turned out that the letter had a paragraph written on it, "I have settled the people you sent. I've already received the important information they sent. I know very well why you sent them here. In view of your contribution to the Emperor, I have reported to the Emperor that you will be appointed as soon as possible. The letter of appointment has arrived. I hope you can come to the Emperor as soon as possible.. Now, I am giving you a painting of a tortoise and a box of dates. I hope you will understand the meaning of returning early and submit to the Song court as soon as possible. "
Li Qinglu knew that she of of it of this. "Emperor" to of the of it.
"Lin" of Shu of Chen of Lin of of his eyes of. "Lin" to "to" to "to". "to" the Emperor of Qingshu of the of the of the of Lin of "."
Chen's Lin. Qiu thought. Lin of Lin of. with his the guards to Lin to to. Lin of Ling, Shu of hand. Lin to Shu, Lin, he of Qingshu to see to Lin to Tian to the. of.
Song QingShu also smiled slightly. It seemed that Lin Pingzhi's life was secured, and he did not need to worry anymore. Moreover, everything was going according to plan. It was simply perfect.
Li Qinglu entered the palace and reported this to Emperor Li Yuanhao. Li Yuanhao's face darkened, "Come back early. So this is the meaning of the turtle painting and of the dates."
Li Qinglu couldn't help but ask, "Could this be the Emperor's plan?"
Li Yuanhao answered, "I know what I'm doing. A few days ago, I sent someone disguised as Mu Yuqi's messenger to contact Shen Xiaolong of Sichuan. I believe we will know the result in a few days."
Song QingShu got out of the Celestial Prison, woke Yunzhong He up, and used the Great Soul Transfer Technique to make him forget what happened today. As for why Yunzhong He could no longer have sex from now on, let him guess the reason himself.
Back at the embassy, Song QingShu went to find Yelu Nanxian, telling her that there was progress and that in a few days, there should be a result. Yelu Nanxian finally smiled, "These days, even the Crown Prince and the others haven't come here, most likely they've heard some news."
Song Qingshu put his arm around her waist and smiled, "We don't have to do anything now. We just need to wait!"
They waited for three days. Three days later, something shocking happened in Spirit State City. The Great King of Tiandu, the Great King of Yeli, and the Left and Right Generals, the Mu Brothers, had committed treason. They were stripped of their military power and imprisoned. That very night, the two brothers were executed.
No one in Spirit State City could react. The two Great Kings, the Mu Brothers who controlled half of the military power, were killed just like that?
Yelu Nanxian obviously had the same doubts as Song QingShu. Song QingShu explained some of the details to her: "Not long ago, Li Yuanhao sent his trusted aide disguised as Mu Yuqi's envoy to Sichuan to find the Southern Song Dynasty's Governor Shen Xiaolong. Shen Xiaolong beat Li Yuanhao at his own game and scolded him in front of the envoy, praising the Mu brothers for surrendering to the imperial court and forsaking the darkness for the light. Before he left, he even gave the messenger a farewell dinner. He told the messenger, 'Please tell your master to make a decision quickly and not hesitate.' When the messenger returned to Western Xia, he immediately reported the situation to Li Yuanhao. Of course, Li Yuanhao was furious. He immediately killed the two brothers without giving them any time to react. Therefore, the military power under their command was not able to react in time. "
Song Qingshu continued, "But the Mu Clan is quite large. In order to prevent them from doing anything, Li Yuanhao moved the two brothers' families and the Mu Clan's disciples to Jietan Temple. He hinted to the other powers in the imperial court that he would only kill the main culprit and not kill them all. Of course, these people were also hostages to prevent the other Mu Clan members from acting rashly. "
Yelu Nanxian still had some doubts, "This is obviously a Song plot. Li Yuanhao is a great leader, how could he be tricked so easily?"
Song Qingshu laughed, "You only know one thing but not the other. Do you really think Li Yuanhao didn't know this was a plot? He just needed an excuse to get rid of the Mu Brothers, and the Song provided him with this excuse. "
Shangguan Xiaoxian was confused and couldn't help but interrupt, "What do you mean? Since Li Yuanhao knew this was a plot, why did he still want to get rid of the Mu Brothers?"
Song Qingshu explained, "Before coming to Western Xia, I carefully investigated the situation here. As the founding emperor, Li Yuanhao can be considered a man of great talent and strategy. But now he is old, and he has a son who has been the Crown Prince for many years. Unfortunately, Li Yuanhao is still in good health, and the Crown Prince can't see any hope of inheriting the throne in a short period of time. Moreover, the Crown Prince is already an adult, and has gathered a large number of his own subordinates. How could Li Yuanhao not be afraid?"
"There are no fathers and sons in the imperial family. Li Yuan and Li Shimin have learned their lesson. How could someone like Li Yuanhao be willing to be imprisoned for the rest of his life like Li Yuan? After thinking about it, the most effective way to solve this problem is to get rid of the Crown Prince and replace him with a younger son. That way, he will have many more years of buffer time. "
"Ah?" Although Yelu Nanxian was born into the imperial family, she was not of the same bloodline as the imperial family. She couldn't help but be shocked when she heard such a thing. But on second thought, it was a matter of course.
As for Shangguan Xiaoxian, her small mouth was wide open. She was still in a daze for a long time.
"This is also why I have always been confident that you can get through this crisis." Song Qingshu held Yelu Nanxian's hand and said with a smile, "I think Li Yuanhao is only planning to use the wedding to numb the people of the Crown Prince's clique. He will make his move soon after the wedding. I just made him move ahead of time. It's not easy to make a move on the Crown Prince. First, we have to deal with his two uncles who hold military power."
Yelu Nanxian stuck out her tongue in fear. "If it weren't for you, I would really be crippled for the rest of my life." She had thought that marrying someone she didn't like as the Crown Prince's Concubine was painful enough. She didn't expect that there would be something even more painful, and that was to be deposed as the Crown Prince's Concubine …
Song Qingshu gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Now you can rest assured. With such a thing happening to his two uncles, I don't think they will be able to get married in a short period of time."
"Hmm ~" Yelu Nanxian had been on tenterhooks all this time, and she could finally put down the huge stone in her heart. Shangguan Xiaoxian, who was beside her, also breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they were no longer the target of that Bald King.
Song Qingshu continued, "If I'm not wrong, it won't be long before Li Yuanhao makes his move on the Crown Prince. At that time, you will be completely free."
"I used to think that the Crown Prince was a little hateful, but now, I suddenly feel that he is a little pitiful." Yelu Nanxian couldn't help but sigh.
"The people of the imperial family have no choice." Song Qingshu also sighed. This time, he was able to read Li Yuanhao's mind so clearly. First of all, he had watched so many historical dramas and dramas in his previous life, so he was already very familiar with them. Second of all, after coming to this world, he had secretly controlled the Qing, Jin, and Liao Dynasties. His perspective was no different from that of an emperor, so he could understand the so-called scheming of an emperor.
Yelu Nanxian suddenly said to the maidservant beside her, "Xiaoxian, go outside and stand guard. Don't let anyone in."
Shangguan Xiaoxian curled her lips and muttered as she walked outside, "What do you mean don't let anyone in? Isn't it just to send me away? Miss, you've learned bad things from that big pervert."
Yelu Nanxian: "…"
Song Qingshu: "…"
After she left, Song Qingshu looked at the beauty beside him with interest. To be honest, he was also very surprised. It had been so long since he had seen her take the initiative.
Noticing the aggressive look in his eyes, Yelu Nanxian blushed and hurriedly explained, "Brother Song, don't misunderstand, I just have something to ask you."
Song Qingshu was startled, but seeing the clarity in her eyes, he knew that he had misunderstood, "What is it?"
"Brother Song, why do you know so much about what happened in Sichuan? Also, I have a feeling that the Southern Song Dynasty's plan to sow discord was all orchestrated by you." Yelu Nanxian's beautiful eyes looked at him calmly, filled with an indescribable expectation.
Song Qingshu smiled slightly, "Of course I was the mastermind of this plan. Have you forgotten? I am also the Southern Song Dynasty's Prince of Qi."
