Song Qingshu couldn't help but find it strange. Now that Xizong was weak, the power of the court was divided between the Empress and a few powerful officials. With Empress Pei Man's current status and power, there was no reason for her to be so afraid of a young man. Furthermore, she was the other's elder.
It turned out that Xizong's health was not very good. He had been the Emperor for so long and only had one son. Pei Man's son had been made the Crown Prince. Unfortunately, good times did not last long. The Crown Prince died not long after he was born. Since then, Pei Man had never had another son. Instead, another concubine in the inner palace had given birth to a prince for Xizong, who was now Wei Wang.
Even though Wei Wang was not a legitimate son, he was Xizong's only son. Anyone with eyes could see that he would inherit the throne in the future. Wei Wang's mother and son were also clear about all this. Wei Wang's mother and son were more restrained, but Wei Wang was not so shrewd and showed everything in his heart. Pei Man had been humiliated by him many times, but she chose to avoid it each time.
Of course, the reason for all this was unknown to Song Qingshu now. Only after he returned and investigated would he be able to understand the complicated relationships in the Imperial Palace.
"Your Highness is indeed fair in rewards and punishments. It's good enough that you didn't kill such a disrespectful servant." Wei Wang laughed.
Empress Pei Man was secretly angry. She said coolly, "What is Wei Wang doing here so early in the morning?"
"Oh," Wei Wang replied unconcernedly, "I'm here to pay my respects to Your Highness."
"Wei Wang is considerate." Wei Wang clearly had no intention of paying his respects even now, but Empress Pei Man acted as though he had already paid his respects.
Wei Wang smiled lightly. There was not a trace of respect in his expression. Suddenly, he stretched lazily as though he was tired from standing. Without greeting the Empress, he pulled a chair to the side and sat down. Then, he called for the palace maid to serve tea, as though he was in his own home.
The palace maid glanced at the Empress. Seeing that the Empress was expressionless, she ran over to bring a cup of tea. Who knew that Wei Wang picked it up and swirled it in his mouth for a while before spitting it back into the cup.
Empress Pei Man's eyelids twitched: "Could it be that this superior West Lake Longjing is not enough to enter Prince Wei's eyes?"
Wei Wang let out a weird laugh. "The tea is good, but I have just experienced an assassination attempt with poison. I don't dare to eat this now. It's better to be careful."
Pei Man suppressed her anger, "From Prince Wei's words, could it be that I will poison you?"
"I don't dare, but it's always good to be careful. After all, I am the only son left in my father's family." King Wei pretended to apologize as he added another sentence.
As expected, Pei Man's expression changed. Wei Wang's words struck a sore spot in her heart. If Wei Wang wasn't Xizong's only son, how could she allow him to be so arrogant? Thinking of her dead child, Empress Pei Man's complexion became even worse.
"Haha, since the greetings are over, this Prince will take his leave first." Wei Wang also knew that this woman was powerful. He reckoned that it was enough for today, so he stood up and bade farewell. In the end, when he passed by the two little palace maids who were kneeling on the ground, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the appearance of the two women. His eyes instantly revealed a trace of amazement. He could not help but blurt out, "There are actually such stunning beauties in this world, and what's even rarer is a pair of sisters."
Although the two women had their own characteristics, there were still some similarities between their eyebrows. The Prince of Wei had seen countless women.
The relationship between the two girls is revealed.
Before Empress Pei Man could say anything, Wei Wang spoke up, "Empress, ben wang's fu just happens to have two maids who serve tea and water. Ben wang thinks that these two little palace maids are not bad. Would Empress be willing to part with them?"
Empress Pei Man looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. "Prince Wei can have any of my palace maids, but these two have special identities. Prince Wei should not have any ideas."
Wei Wang first stilled, then sneered and said, "What identity can two little palace maids have? In this palace, other than Imperial Father, is there a woman with a more noble identity than this Prince? "
Seeing Empress Pei Man's expression change slightly, Wei Wang added with a smile, "Of course, Empress is not one of them." It would have been better if he did not add this. Once he explained, anyone with a discerning eye would know that he was targeting the Empress.
Empress Pei Man's gaze froze, then she smiled and said, "Wei Wang, if you really want them, ben wang will not stop you. But don't blame ben wang for being blunt. You will not be able to bear the consequences."
This woman really knows how to play tricks. Wei Wang sneered inwardly. Not just two little palace maids, when I ascend the throne, according to the rules of the grasslands, other than my biological mother, won't all of Imperial Father's women be mine? At that time, you will just be a plaything under ben wang.
"ben wang would like to see what the consequences are." Wei Wang stood up and walked over to the two palace maids. "Since Her Highness does not mind, then ben wang will kindly accept them."
"Ah ~" Seeing Wei Wang approaching, the two kneeling maids seemed to be stunned. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Then they looked back at the Empress as if asking for help. Who knew that Pei Man was expressionless, as if she did not see what was happening in front of her.
"Wei Wang, don't be rash, we are …" The slightly older of the two said in a panic. Who knew that halfway through, Wei Wang would flick his sleeve and cut her off. "ben wang is not interested to hear who you are. Today, even if you are the seven fairies, you will have to return with ben wang." As he sneered, he reached out to grab the two maids' hands.
The two palace maids exclaimed and instinctively wanted to dodge to the side. Who knew that after kneeling for so long, the moment they stood up, their legs would go numb and they immediately fell to the ground. Wei Wang laughed sinisterly and took the opportunity to grab the two maids' chests. His actions were extremely vulgar.
Song Qingshu frowned and was hesitating if he should secretly teach this preposterous prince a lesson. But he was also worried that the yellow-shirted lady would see something. He looked back and was shocked to see that the yellow-shirted lady was biting her lips and trembling. Her fingers were clenched so tightly that they were turning white.
Why is her reaction so big? Could it be that women are born to dislike such vulgar methods? Song Qingshu was puzzled.
"Die, pervert!" Who knew that at this moment, the yellow-shirted lady would suddenly shout angrily and stab at Wei Wang with her sword.
"Damn!" Song Qingshu was instantly dumbfounded. Wasn't she here to find the Empress? Why did she run off to assassinate Wei Wang? She usually didn't look like such an impulsive person.
The people below were clearly frightened by the sudden appearance of the yellow-shirted lady. A bunch of palace maids and eunuchs screamed and scattered to the side, leaving only Wei Wang in the middle of the arena. It was as if he was scared silly. Looking at the sword that was getting closer and closer, he couldn't even move a finger.
Just as the yellow-shirted lady was about to stab Wei Wang, a shout suddenly came from the side, "You're courting death!" The bodyguard that had been following Wei Wang blocked the yellow-shirted lady's sword with his saber. The bodyguard protected Wei Wang behind him.
He raised his saber and attacked the yellow-clothed woman's body. In a flash, the two of them exchanged more than ten moves.
Song Qingshu was secretly shocked. This bodyguard looked very ordinary before, but he didn't expect him to be such a top expert. The yellow-shirted lady was actually gradually falling into a disadvantage. Even though she was injured, but looking at the bodyguard's cultivation, even if the yellow-shirted lady wasn't injured, she might not be able to gain any advantage.
At this time, the bodyguards outside the hall also rushed in. First, they protected Empress Pei Man. Then, a portion of them secretly surrounded the two people fighting in the middle.
Seeing that more and more bodyguards were surrounding her, the yellow-shirted lady was secretly anxious. She knew that the situation was becoming more and more disadvantageous for her. She wanted to leave, but the Nameless bodyguard was very difficult to deal with. She tried to rush out several times, but was blocked by him. After a few rounds, she became more and more passive.
Song Qingshu hid on the beam and narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't understand why the yellow-shirted lady was so impulsive, he couldn't let her be captured by the Jin Kingdom's bodyguards. However, whether it was the Nameless bodyguard or the yellow-shirted lady, they were both experts. If he interfered, it would be difficult for him to not be discovered.
Seeing Wei Wang not far away from the two, Song Qingshu had an idea. He flicked his finger and a wisp of sword Qi shot towards Wei Wang.
"Ah!" Wei Wang suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream.
When the Nameless bodyguard heard Wei Wang's scream, he couldn't help but be shocked. He took the opportunity to look back and saw that Wei Wang was covering his ears. There was still blood seeping out from between his fingers. He didn't know where he was injured. How could he be in the mood to care about the yellow-shirted lady? He quickly flew to Wei Wang's side and asked, "Your Highness, are you alright?"
How could the yellow-shirted lady let go of such a good opportunity? Her figure flashed and she flew out of the hall. The other bodyguards couldn't stop her. The yellow-shirted lady jumped a few times and quickly disappeared into the distance.
When she left, she looked back at the Empress' bedroom in confusion. Just now, there was clearly someone secretly helping her, but she didn't notice that there was someone else hiding in the hall. Could it be that the hidden expert's martial arts had reached such a high level? Or could it be someone from the Empress' side?
…
In the hall, Wei Wang's wounds had already been bandaged. At this time, how could he still be in the mood to flirt with the two little palace maids? He sneered at the Empress and said, "Hehe, luckily Imperial Father was worried that something would happen to this Prince and assigned this Shadow Guard to this Prince. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to step out of this room alive today."
Empress Pei Man replied indifferently, "From Wei Wang's words, could it be that you think that this assassin was sent by me?"
"Whether it was or not, Your Highness knows very well in your heart." Wei Wang sneered.
"If this Empress remembers correctly, that assassin just shouted 'Die, pervert' right? Thinking that the assassin was a woman, could it be that Your Highness got into a romantic debt somewhere? " Empress Pei Man's voice turned cold. "Speaking of which, this Empress has yet to pursue the matter of Your Highness provoking the assassin."
"You!" Wei Wang suddenly stood up. The Shadow Guard behind him hurriedly stopped him and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, there was an assassin in the palace previously. This woman today seems to be similar to the description of the assassin a few days ago."
Wei Wang frowned. "Alright, this Prince will investigate this matter clearly today. Someone, bring the guard in front of the hall, Wanyan Tesi, to this Prince! "
There was an assassin in the Empress' bedroom, and it even involved Wei Wang. Wanyan Tesi, who was in charge of the palace's defense, had already rushed over. Not long after, he ran in. "This lowly servant Wanyan Tesi greets Your Highness the Empress and Your Highness the Prince of Wei."
