Song Qing looked down and saw that the person who came in had square eyes, a wide nose, and a fierce face. The most eye-catching thing was the long scar near his eye. This person was very famous in the capital, and even Song Qing had heard of some of his deeds. It was said that this scar was caused by an assassin when he was saving Jin Xizong.
"Wanyan Tesi, what are you doing as the inspector of the palace! The assassin has sneaked into the Empress's bedroom and even tried to assassinate me! "Wei Wang pointed at the scar on his face and roared at Wanyan Tesi.
Wanyan Tesi hurriedly knelt on the ground, and cold sweat dripped down his face. "Please forgive me, Your Highness Wei Wang, please forgive me. This female assassin's martial arts are too high. Previously, we gathered the strength of many masters and even asked the Chief Steward to seriously injure her. We thought that she had taken advantage of the chaos to escape. Who knew that she would be so bold and still dare to stay in the palace …"
"Forgive me?" The King of Wei was enraged. "You want to forgive me for such a big mistake and that's it? If something happens to me today, how many lives do you have to compensate for it? Someone, flog Wanyan Tesi eighty times. "
Everyone looked at each other. If an ordinary person was flogged eighty times, he would probably go straight to hell. Even if Wanyan Tesi had martial arts, he would still be half-dead after being flogged eighty times. More importantly, Wanyan Tesi was the inspector of the palace, the general of the palace guards, and in charge of the entire imperial army. His identity was not to be trifled with. How could he be flogged so easily?
Wei Wang saw that no one moved after he gave the order, and couldn't help but sneer. "What? Do you want to rebel? You don't even listen to my orders?"
At this point, Wanyan Tesi saw that there was no way to settle things peacefully. He had to bite the bullet and stand up. "Please forgive me for being rude. My identity is special, and I am directly commanded by the Emperor. I don't need to listen to other people's orders. I will definitely give Your Highness an explanation for today's matter. Now I have to go and catch the assassin. Please forgive me for not accompanying you!"
At this time, Wanyan Tesi was also angry in his heart. With his identity, everyone in the capital was polite to him. Today, he was actually humiliated by a brat who was still wet behind his ears!
At the same time, he knew very well that he was the Emperor's confidante. The Prince of Wei had tried to entice him several times, but he had never responded. Instead, he had become close to the Emperor's younger brother, the Changsheng Prince, Wanyan Yuan. The Prince of Wei and the Changsheng Prince had never gotten along, so it was only natural that the Prince of Wei hated him. Now, the Prince of Wei was probably using this as an excuse to get rid of him. He could not be so foolish as to allow himself to be trampled upon. He had to deal with today's disaster first. When the news reached the Emperor and the Changsheng Prince, they would naturally protect him.
Seeing the conflict between Wanyan Tesi and Wei Wang, Pei Man, who was not far away, remained expressionless. However, the slight smile on her face betrayed her true feelings. "Make a scene, the bigger the better."
"How dare you!" Prince Wei took out something from his bosom and waved it in the air, "Wanyan Tesi, don't you think that only Imperial Father can deal with you? Open your dog eyes and take a good look at what this is! "
"It really blinds my dog eyes!" Song Qingzang, who was on the beam, felt pain in his eyes from the dazzling golden token in his hand.
When everyone saw the token in his hand clearly, their expressions all changed and they all knelt on the ground. "Long live the Emperor!"
Song Qing saw that even Empress Pei Man stood up and saluted. He couldn't help but be shocked. He carefully looked at the token in Wei Wang's hand. It was a palm-sized golden token with the words "Regal Propria" carved on it. There were also a few small curvy words beside it. It should be the Jurchen language, but it was a pity that Song Qing couldn't read it.
"These Jurchen, they sure are quick to become Chinese. Even Regal Propria is here." Song Qing secretly ridiculed. Actually, he didn't understand. It was just a broken token. How could it be so powerful? If they really wanted to rebel, even if the Emperor came personally, he would be killed.
Seeing that even the Empress was kneeling in front of him, Wei Wang's face was filled with pride. "Guards, drag Wanyan Tesi away and give him a good beating!"
"Yes!" This time, none of the soldiers dared to refuse. They went forward to detain Wanyan Tesi. Wanyan Tesi's body shook off the surrounding guards.
"Wanyan Tesi, could it be that you want to rebel?!" Wei Wang was furious.
Song Qing, who was on the beam, secretly shook his head. He had already sensed that this Wei Wang was obviously not on good terms with Wanyan Tesi. He wanted to use this opportunity to mess with him. However, in Song Qing's eyes, this series of actions was just a child throwing a tantrum. It was really undignified. Other than letting him vent his anger, there was no benefit. Instead, he had completely offended a heavyweight like Wanyan Tesi. If it was a mature politician, he would either not do it or go to the extreme. Since he had the golden token in his hand, he could have taken advantage of Wanyan Tesi's resistance just now and directly pinned the crime of rebellion on him and killed him on the spot to prevent future troubles. In the end, Wei Wang could only flaunt his prowess here. It was really endless trouble.
Wanyan Tesi's expression changed. Finally, he snorted. "I don't need anyone to detain me. I can walk on my own." After saying that, he turned around and followed the law-enforcement officers outside.
After dealing with Wanyan Tesi, Wei Wang turned to Empress Pei Man and said coldly, "The guards outside Your Highness's bedroom didn't even know that an assassin had entered Your Highness's bedroom. These guards under Your Highness have neglected their duties and should be replaced." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around. "Guards, throw all the guards on duty in Hall of Peace and Harmony into the Heavenly Prison. Also replace all the palace maids and eunuchs in Hall of Peace and Harmony. I will personally choose who to replace them."
Empress Pei Man's expression changed slightly. "I am used to having these personal servants around me. They are very familiar with my hobbies and habits and are very considerate in ordering them around. There is no need for Your Highness to worry about them."
Wei Wang looked deeply at her and was silent for a while. Suddenly, he laughed out loud. "How can I refuse Your Highness's request?"
Song Qing secretly thought that this Wei Wang wasn't an idiot. He used this as a pretext to change the guards in Hall of Peace and Harmony with his own people. And because there was an assassin in her palace, the Empress could only give in because she was in the wrong. From now on, Hall of Peace and Harmony could be said to be completely under Wei Wang's control. Every move of the Empress couldn't escape Wei Wang's discerning eyes.
"I will go out to see how that servant Wanyan Tesi is doing. I will not disturb Your Highness's rest." Wei Wang could be said to have obtained a complete victory today. At this moment, he felt like he was floating as he walked. As for the two beautiful palace maids that he had taken a fancy to … after today's disturbance by the assassin, he no longer had any interest in them. Anyway, Hall of Peace and Harmony was under his control. These two palace maids would be his sooner or later. He was not in a hurry.
After Wei Wang left, Song Qing continued to hide on the beam for a while. He wanted to see if he could get any useful information from the Empress. In the end, Empress Pei Man did not show any emotion, perhaps because she was worried that Wei Wang's people were all around.
Seeing that he couldn't hear anything valuable, Song Qing took advantage of the chaos in Hall of Peace and quietly left. After coming out of Hall of Peace and Harmony, Song Qing hesitated and decided to return to his residence in Xiaoxing Kingdom.
As he expected, the yellow-robed woman finally returned here. Song Qing cursed in his heart. Did this woman really treat this place as her home? Fortunately, he was not a real little eunuch. Otherwise, if the fact that he was harboring an assassin was exposed, would the nine generations of little eunuchs still exist?
"You … how did you come out?" At this moment, the yellow-robed woman was half leaning on the bed. Her pretty face was pale. When she saw Song Qing return, she couldn't help but be shocked.
"I say, heroine, aren't you too heartless?" Song Qing wanted to sit on the bed but was glared at by her. He could only randomly pull a stool over. "Fortunately, Hall of Peace and Harmony was extremely chaotic at that time, so I could take advantage of the chaos to sneak out. Otherwise, if they found out that I was the one who brought the assassin there, even ten heads wouldn't be enough to chop off."
The yellow-robed woman showed an apologetic expression. "Actually, I was planning to wait for the limelight to pass before coming to save you. I didn't expect you to slip out by yourself … Eh, I seem to remember that I sealed your acupoint?" A suspicious expression immediately appeared on her face.
Song Qing replied unhurriedly, "I don't know what happened either. At that time, I suddenly felt numb at the back of my waist. Then, I found that I could move my body."
"It seems that there was an expert hiding in the hall at that time." The yellow-robed woman had been suspicious before. Now that she heard his words, she was even more convinced. "I don't know if he was an enemy or a friend."
Song Qing laughed. "I heard you say that it was fortunate that that person secretly saved you that you were able to escape. That proves that person is definitely not an enemy."
"En, that's what I thought too." The yellow-robed woman nodded. "I was still guessing if he was one of the empress's people. But from the way he let you go, it shouldn't be …"
"I say, heroine, you should worry more about yourself now. Your face is as white as if you've had your period for a month. If you don't take supplements, I'm afraid you'll die at any time." Song Qing had long noticed that she was seriously injured. She had just fought with the experts under Wei Wang's command. Even an iron man couldn't hold on.
"Shouldn't you be happy that I'm dead? At that time, no one will force you to do this and that." The yellow-robed woman had just said a few words when she couldn't help but cough again. "Right, what is period?"
"Uh, period means that there's a wound on the body that won't stop bleeding." Song Qing didn't dare to explain in detail to her. He hurriedly changed the topic. "Of course, I don't want to see anything happen to heroine. If heroine dies, no one will unseal the acupuncture points on my body. Won't I die with heroine?"
"You, little eunuch, have guts." The yellow-robed woman scolded with a smile. "Don't worry. When my injury is healed, I will unseal your acupuncture points. In the future, I won't force you to do anything. Ah, everyone is a pitiful person …"
Song Qing heard this and secretly curled his lips. He thought, you're beautiful and your martial arts are high. You're pretending to be a pitiful person in front of a crippled and weak little eunuch.
Tick tock, tick tock …
"Huh?" Song Qing looked behind her. "What's that sound?"
