The hall suddenly fell into a strange silence. The high-ranking officials of the Jin Kingdom looked at each other and silently exchanged their opinions. [

"King Wei was killed? I didn't hear wrongly, right? "
"That's right. Wei Wang is the emperor's only successor. Why would the emperor kill him?"
"Is someone stirring up trouble behind the scenes?"
…
After hearing this news, there were only two people in His Highness's group that had a sad expression on their faces. However, the faint smile on their faces betrayed their joy. One was the Ever-Victorious King, Wan Yanyuan, and the other was the Sea Mausoleum King, Wan Yanliang.
The Changsheng Prince, Wanyan Yuan, was, of course, happy. He had never been on good terms with the Prince of Wei. Furthermore, he was the younger brother of Jin Xizong. Once the Prince of Wei died, the Emperor would have no other sons. According to the clan rules, he was the only candidate to inherit the throne. How could he not be happy when he thought of himself becoming the Emperor in the future?
As for Wan Yanliang, although he was the eldest brother of the third generation of the Jin Kingdom, his father was the son of a concubine. Therefore, no one considered him when considering the right to inherit the throne. However, Wan Yanliang believed that he was well-versed in both literature and martial arts. He was much more capable than his cousins in all aspects. Therefore, he was full of desire for the throne. If the King of Wei was still alive, he would be the rightful heir to the throne and it would be difficult for him to cause any trouble. But now that the King of Wei was dead, it would be up to everyone to decide who would inherit the throne!
Today was really a joyous occasion. First, the Prince of Wei was dead. Now, he was going to enjoy the beautiful and fragrant song tonight … Wanyan Liang hurriedly tightened his face so that he wouldn't laugh out loud and offend the Emperor.
After that, Jin Xizong began to discuss with the Jin officials how to settle this matter, how to stabilize the court, and how to deal with the King of Wei's funeral, including the reason for his burial, the reason for his death, etc. Wanyan Liang absent-mindedly agreed, his mind already on tonight's meeting.
Song Qingshu returned to Tang Kuo's mansion. When he heard that Song Qingshu was going to invite Wanyan Liang to his mansion that night, Ge Bi was so angry that his whole body trembled. "No! I will never invite that murderer to the manor. "
Song Qingshu also knew that he was putting her in a difficult position. After all, she already knew that Wan Yanliang was her husband's murderer, yet she still had to force herself to smile in front of him. Probably not many people in this world could do that.
However, now that the laundry yard had begun to secretly investigate Wei Wang's murder, Zhao Huan 'er and Zhao Yuanyuan would definitely be the first to be investigated. With their naïve nature, it would be difficult for them to keep any secrets.
The only thing that comforted Song Qingshu was that Empress Pei Man was a person who did great things. She must have received the news from the palace. With the help of the yellow-robed woman, she should be able to protect the two girls for a short period of time. However, Wei Wang's murder was a major event. Song Qingshu guessed that Empress Pei Man could at most delay it for a few days. Any longer and she would not be able to protect herself, let alone the two little girls.
Song Qingshu had to solve the problem of the laundry yard in a few days. At the same time, he had to rescue the princess, Song Yuanqiao, and the others who were imprisoned there as soon as possible. Wan Yanliang was his idea.
Now that everything was ready, he had to first infiltrate Wan Yanliang's inner circle before he could carry out his later plans. Wan Yanliang had already given the answer to how to infiltrate that circle. He would use Ge Bi to exchange for his disciple, Dan Jing.
Song QingShu could not tell Ge Bi that he wanted to rescue the imprisoned princess. After all, she was the younger sister of the current Jin Emperor. It was difficult for her not to think for her own country. Moreover, from her point of view, there was no reason for her to help.
"I know this is difficult for you, but what if you could avenge Brother Tang Kuo today? What do you think?" Song Qingshu suddenly had an idea and thought of another way to convince her.
"How?" Ge Bi immediately became excited when she heard that she could avenge Brother Tang Kuo.
"Actually, avenging Brother Tang Kuo is both easy and difficult. There are two ways to do it." Song Qingshu paused for a moment before continuing, "The first way is simple and straightforward. Although Wanyan Liang usually has countless experts by his side, he should be at his weakest when you invited him to your mansion as a guest today. As long as you nod your head, I'll assassinate him for you tonight. With my martial arts skills, I have a high chance of succeeding."
Ge Bi shook her head, "That is too risky. Even if you succeed, the entire Jin Kingdom will be furious if you assassinate a prince. They will definitely send many experts to hunt you down. It will also cause a war between the Jin Kingdom and the Golden Snake Camp. I cannot be so selfish and make you sacrifice so much."
"I can actually accept this sacrifice. My only regret is that I'm afraid I won't have the chance to be with you again." Song Qingshu deliberately sighed.
"Who wants to be with you!" Ge Bi was embarrassed and angry by his words.
"Although you won't admit it, you just subconsciously considered for my sake. Seeing that it is too risky for me, you would rather temporarily give up avenging your husband." Song Qingshu was moved and put his arm around her fragrant shoulder.
Ge Bi dodged subconsciously. His expression was a little unnatural as he said, "You've misunderstood. I'm a soft-hearted person by nature. Even if it's just a cat or dog, I won't let it be sacrificed. Tell me your second method of revenge."
Seeing that she hurriedly changed the topic, Song Qingshu did not continue to force her. Hearing this, he replied, "The second way is a little more troublesome, but it will break up Wanyan Liang's family and ruin his reputation. He will never be able to rise again!"
Hearing this, Ge Bi's eyes lit up, "How can I achieve this effect?"
Song Qingshu slowly replied, "Wanyan Liang is a prince. If there are no accidents, his children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy glory and wealth. But there is a situation that can deprive him of the glory that is destined to be in his blood."
Ge Bi was not a fool. Hearing this, a word suddenly flashed through her mind, "Rebellion?"
"Yes, as long as Wanyan Liang is involved in a rebellion, his fate will be miserable if he fails." Song Qingshu recalled his recent contact with Wanyan Liang and said in a low voice, "If I am not wrong, he is now plotting a rebellion."
"But we have no evidence." Ge Bi was born in the royal family, so she was very clear about this process. Wanyan Liang was a person of high status and was deeply trusted by his brother. It was impossible to convict him based on some groundless rumors.
"That is why I have been deliberately getting close to him. If there are no accidents, after tonight, I will be able to completely win his trust." Song Qingshu's smile was a little strange.
"Why?" Ge Bi was a little scared by Song Qingshu's smile.
Song QingShu didn't answer him directly. Instead, he said, "Making his treason public will only ruin his reputation. Tonight, he'll be separated from his family, and I'll be collecting some interest on behalf of Brother Tang Kuo."
"Break up his family?" Ge Bi was even more confused. Princess Hailing and Wanyan Liang had always been very close. How could they break up their family in one night?
