Empress Pei Man hurriedly tidied up her appearance and said softly, "King Wei, please come in."
The yellow-robed woman and Song Qingshu hid on the beam together. They were very close to each other and frowned when they saw the situation below. She moved closer to Song Qingshu's ear and whispered, "The rules of every country are similar. After dark, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace without the emperor's permission. It's midnight now, but King Wei, as a prince, has sneaked into the palace. This is a huge taboo. I don't know how that woman tricked him into coming in."
The beauty beside him breathed out. Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy. "It's actually very simple. Just use your two sisters as bait."
The yellow-robed woman frowned and was about to explode when Song Qingshu hurriedly covered her mouth. "Don't be agitated. Since we're here, of course we won't let your sisters suffer."
The yellow-robed woman blushed and slapped his hand away. She whispered, "Am I such a reckless woman in your heart?"
Song Qingshu chuckled. "Of course not. You're a fairy."
"Stop talking. Look at the situation below." The yellow-robed woman turned her head and added in a small voice, "Also, don't get touchy in the future. I'm not as easily bullied as Hu 'er and Yuanyuan."
Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh. He shrugged his shoulders and began to look at the situation below.
After King Wei came in, he looked around and saw that only Empress Pei Man was in the hall. His heart skipped a beat. He turned around and said to the air behind him, "You can leave too."
"Your subordinate's duty is to protect Your Highness. I must stay by your side." An extremely cold voice came from the shadows in the hall.
On the beam, Song Qingshu and the yellow-robed woman looked at each other. Although they had seen King Wei's secret guard in action last time, they still felt that he was mysterious and unpredictable. Especially his ability to hide his presence was too heaven-defying. When King Wei came in, he took the opportunity to hide himself. If they hadn't been prepared, it would have been very difficult to find him. The two of them didn't dare to speak anymore as they were worried that the person would discover them.
Wei Wang did not mind being rejected by his subordinate. He turned around and smiled at Empress Pei Man. "This servant of mine is so stubborn. Your Highness, you won't mind, right?"
"This person is loyal to his master, so of course I don't mind." Empress Pei Man's voice was gentle, but she was sneering in her heart. Wei Wang knew that she would not leave, but he still said that to warn her not to play any tricks.
"Your Ladyship has invited me so late at night. I wonder what is the matter?" Prince Wei found a chair and sat down with a playful look on his face.
When the princes came of age, they had to leave the palace to live. Without the emperor's summons, they were not allowed to enter the palace without permission. This was an iron law. However, he was Jin Xizong's only son. Wei Wang believed that if the Empress wanted to punish him with this crime, he would only be asking for humiliation. So he knew that the Empress might not have good intentions but he still came.
Empress Pei Man leisurely walked in front of Wei Wang and looked at him deeply. Just as Wei Wang was secretly on guard, Empress Pei Man knelt down beside his feet.
"What are you doing!" Wei Wang was shocked. Even though he did not think much of Pei Man, she was still the empress of a country and his elder. It was still very shocking for her to kneel in front of him like this.
Not to mention Prince Wei, even Song QingShu and the yellow-robed girl on the beam were shocked. They knew that Pei Man was clearly plotting against Prince Wei, but she knelt down so readily. They could not help but feel a sense of absurdity and shudder.
"Your concubine has offended Wei Wang in these years. This is to apologize to Wei Wang. I hope that you will be magnanimous and not hate me in the future," Empress Pei Man said with a weak expression.
"Empress, what are you doing? I don't understand." Even though Wei Wang looked terrified on the surface, in reality, seeing his sworn enemy kneeling in front of him gave him an unimaginable thrill. However, he was still able to maintain a trace of clarity. He knew that there must be something wrong with this abnormal situation, so he didn't dare to reply rashly.
Empress Pei Man sighed faintly. "Since it's like this, your concubine will say it directly. I hope Your Highness doesn't mind. All these years, the Emperor's health has been deteriorating day by day. I don't know when … he will not be able to hold on. Your Highness is the only son of the Emperor and is destined to become the Emperor in the future. In the past few years, your concubine was ignorant and offended Your Highness. Now, I have completely thought it through. I know that Your Highness will be my only support in the future, so I plan to resolve the misunderstanding between us as soon as possible.
If Your Highness ascends to the throne in the future, your concubine will not dare to fight with sister Yuan Fei for the position of Empress Dowager. I only ask that Your Highness make your concubine an old concubine and bestow two eunuchs and palace maids to serve your concubine for the rest of my life. "
Listening to Pei Man speak slowly, the smile on Wei Wang's face grew wider and wider. Almost every word of the other party struck a chord in his heart. After listening to the end, he finally believed that this woman in front of him had sincerely given in to him. After all, he could not find any reason for her to lie. As he was destined to be the future Emperor, any schemes and plots would be destroyed in the face of this iron-like truth.
"Your Highness, quickly get up." Wei Wang had been educated by the royal family since he was young and still paid attention to his table manners. He couldn't keep Empress Pei Man kneeling like this. He hurriedly reached out to help her up. When he touched her voluptuous body, his heart couldn't help but sway.
However, he still knew what was important and knew that he couldn't touch this woman at this time. If he did … … after he ascended to the throne, he would be the only man left in the palace and everything would be under his control. In the inner courtyard of the palace, wouldn't he be able to play with this woman however he wanted?
"If Your Highness does not forgive your concubine, your concubine doesn't dare to get up." At such a close distance, Empress Pei Man could faintly see Wei Wang's reaction and her eyes turned cold.
"Since Your Highness has thought through the pros and cons, how could this prince be a narrow-minded person? Your Highness can be at ease. After this prince ascends to the throne, Your Highness will definitely be the Empress Dowager. However, Your Highness will have to be wronged to be the Empress Dowager of the East and West Palaces together with this prince's mother. " Wei Wang also knew that fighting with Empress Pei Man wouldn't have any good results. If he could obtain her support, everything would become smoother.
"To be able to stand side by side with Little Sister Yuan is this concubine's pleasant surprise. How can I feel wronged?" Empress Pei Man suddenly revealed a fawning smile. "Your concubine knows that Your Highness took a fancy to the two little palace maids by my side last time, so I specially prepared a gift for you tonight. I hope Your Highness will kindly accept it."
"Oh ~" Wei Wang followed her gaze and noticed the two hazy figures on the phoenix couch. In his mind, he thought of the two beautiful palace maids' delicate faces last time and his heart swayed. "Since it's a gift from Your Highness, this prince won't stand on ceremony."
