The mother Temujin referred to was Tolui's concubine, Tolui Teni. She was also the mother of Mungo, Khubilai, Xulewu, and Ali Buge.
When Tolui died in an accident, she took care of her orphaned children and widowed mother. Not only did she protect her family business, but she also maintained a good relationship with the other kings of Mongolia. After the deaths of Ogedei and Guiyou, she successfully won the position of heir to the throne.
Of course, there were also rumors that she had a hand in the deaths of Ogedei and Guiyou, but no one had any proof. Temujin later publicly ordered that no one was allowed to talk about this matter, so everyone kept quiet.
Khubilai knelt down and accepted the decree. "Yes, Great Khan!" The punishment this time was very heavy. Two thousand households was a lot of wealth. In the Mongolian Empire, there were only ninety-five nobles who had more than one thousand households.
Of course, this punishment was not really serious, and it was still within the acceptable range.
But Khubilai was not happy at all. If he had really slept with his sister-in-law Ya Lun last night, it would have been worth it even if he had to pay two thousand households. But he clearly did not do anything last night, and now he had to bear such a bad reputation. There was no way he could clear his name.
Temujin paused for a moment, then continued, "Naya, send him over later. Be sure to tell Tolui Teni to teach him well."
"Yes!" Naya cupped his hands and accepted the order.
The group continued to discuss some other matters. Then Temujin waved his hand to dismiss the meeting. He was obviously tired and needed to go back to heal. The Tongtian shaman looked meaningfully at Song Qingshu and left.
Li Chimei and Ba Siba continued to search for the whereabouts of Guo Jing and the others. Song Qingshu also wanted to follow them and ask for some information, but was pulled aside by Naya. "How is the Sect Master's injury?"
Song Qingshu was surprised. The Shuiyue Sect did not seem to have a personal relationship with him, but he still answered, "It's alright. The Sect Master showed mercy, so it's not a big deal."
"Then you can fight?" Naya's face lit up.
"I can barely make a move, but if I encounter a peak expert, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle him." Song Qingshu replied with some hesitation. Although he now had the ability to protect himself, if he encountered a Great Grandmaster, he could only run away.
Originally, he wanted to pretend to be more seriously injured, but he was worried that people would think of him.
Naya hurriedly said, "Then I'll have to ask for your help."
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "You're too polite. Go ahead." The other party's status was equivalent to the leader of the Mongolian Imperial Army, having a good relationship with him would always be more beneficial than detrimental. In the past, he had a good relationship with Dolong, Songgotu and the others in the Qing court, so it was very convenient for him to do anything.
Naya looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Grand Elder, can you accompany me to the Thunder Palace later?"
Song Qingshu knew that he was talking about sending Khubilai there. He was surprised and said, "It should be easy for you to send the fourth prince there. Is his mother that scary?"
"It's not that Queen Kelie is scary, but …" Naya paused, then said, "Grand Elder, you've only been here for a short time. Every king here has recruited a group of strange people, many of whom are from the Dark Sect. Queen Kelie has a group of them, of course, the most mysterious one is the Evil King, Shi Zhixuan."
"Shi Zhixuan?" Song Qingshu had a strange expression on his face. "Then does he have a beautiful daughter named Shi Qingxuan?"
"Shi Qingxuan?" Naya was confused and shook his head. "I've never heard of him, and I don't think he has any children."
"Oh." Song Qingshu was a little disappointed. What a pity.
Naya continued, "The Evil King is the leader of the Bu Tian Pavilion and the Flower Room, one of the Three Sects and Six Schools of the Dark Sect. It is said that his martial arts are almost as good as Pang Ban's."
Almost as good as Pang Ban's? Song Qingshu frowned. He might not be able to handle it now. "You are the commander of the Qie Xue Army, and you are under the Great Khan's orders. Do you think Shi Zhixuan would dare to attack you?"
Naya smiled bitterly and pointed at his head. "Under normal circumstances, no one would dare, but this guy is not normal. He's always talking and acting strangely. He can't be judged by common sense. So please come with me, Grand Elder, so I can be more confident."
Li Chimei and Ba Siba's positions were too high, and they had heavy responsibilities, so it was not appropriate for him to invite them. Compared to them, the Shuiyue Clan was more relaxed.
"Alright then." Song Qingshu also wanted to see the legendary Evil King, as well as the Oruhetini who made the sea lose its way.
Naya was overjoyed. "I will remember Grand Elder's kindness. If there's anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know."
"You're too kind, General." Song Qingshu thought to himself, If you knew that all my help is a heinous crime, you would probably regret saying that.
Not long after, Khubilai also came out. Clearly, he had been reprimanded by Temujin for a while, and his face was very ugly.
Naya stepped forward and said, "Fourth Marquis, please."
Khubilai looked at Song Qingshu, obviously surprised that he was there, but he did not say anything. Now that he was going to his mother's room to reflect on his mistakes, who knew how he would be reprimanded. Ah, as the Hans say, lust is like a knife on top of a man's head.
Seeing his dejected look, Song Qingshu felt a little embarrassed. He was the one who enjoyed it, but he was the one who took the blame. It was not very nice of him.
Along the way, the streets were very quiet. Helin City was not as lively as it usually was, but there were still many Hu merchants on the road. After all, they were capturing a Han, and it had nothing to do with them.
Because of the frequent exchanges with the West, Mongolia was very focused on commerce. Many western merchants even held important positions in the Mongolian government. The Mongolian nobles would cooperate with the merchants, and even the Khan would give his own money to the merchants to invest.
Song Qingshu had heard of all this before, but he did not have much of an impression of it. Even now, when the entire city was searching for criminals, these Hu merchants were not affected at all. He could not help but think that with the financial knowledge of this era, there seemed to be another way to deal with the Mongols.
Soon, they arrived at the Tulay Palace. Compared to the palaces of Khubilai and Ali Buge, this place was much more deserted. However, the grandeur was still there, and one could still vaguely see the glory of the past.
Suluhetini looked like an ordinary Mongolian woman, and there was even a hint of kindness in her eyes. However, those who were familiar with this period of history would know that she was actually a ruthless character.
Compared to the dignified beauty of Ya Lun and the glamorous beauty of the sea, she looked much more ordinary. Of course, she must have been a beauty when she was young, but now, she still looked like a middle-aged woman, but her charm was still there.
Of course, Song Qingshu did not have any thoughts about women of her age. His attention was completely focused on the man behind her. It was a melancholic and handsome middle-aged man. He had a unique charm that was mixed with decadence. His handsome face and elegant long hair gave him a fatal charm.
It was different from Pang Ban's evil and aggressive charm. His charm seemed to be much more gentle, but there was also a sense of calm in the midst of a storm.
At this moment, he was still massaging Suluhetini's shoulders, as if he did not see the person who came in. His expression was so intimate that it did not seem like a normal master and servant.
Song Qingshu could not help but look at Khubilai. There was a man cuckolding your father in front of you, and you did not react at all?
