The reason why Song Qingshu brought this up was because he lied to Tu Danjing last night. He made her think that he was angry at Wan Yanliang for bullying Ge Bi, so he bullied her for revenge.
Now, Tu Danjing would try to cover up everything that happened last night. If Wan Yanliang pretended to be with her last night, they would find out that their testimonies did not match. One of them would be suspicious. No matter who it was, Song Qingshu did not want to see that happen.
Fortunately, Wan Yanliang was hurt by Song QingShu's words just now. When he thought of his wife enjoying herself under Song QingShu's body, he was very unhappy. Hearing Song QingShu's words, he took the opportunity to agree. He didn't want to talk to his wife about what happened last night and cause a greater psychological trauma.
Seeing that Yan Liang had agreed, Song QingShu let out a secret sigh of relief. He then continued, "Your Highness, now that we are a family, can you tell me a little more about the matter I mentioned earlier?"
Although Wan Yanliang was a little unhappy that Dan Jing had been bullied by him last night, when he thought about how he had finally obtained the Song Bi, his mood became better. "Of course, from now on, we are like brothers and sisters. Brothers are like brothers and sisters, and wives are like clothes. Brothers and sisters cannot be separated, but clothes can be changed."
Song Qingshu secretly scolded him for being shameless. He smiled and said, "When you are in the mood, we can change clothes again."
"Okay, it's a deal!" Wan Yanliang was overjoyed. He thought that he had overworked himself last night and would need some time to regain his energy. He should take advantage of this time to nourish himself.
After they chatted for a while, Wan Yanliang finally began to talk about business. "Brother Tang Kuo, now that you are no longer an outsider, I will not hide some things from you. Do you remember that I asked you who you think will inherit the throne?"
Song Qingshu nodded and asked tentatively, "Now that Wei Wang died unexpectedly, it seems that the throne will fall into the hands of the emperor's younger brother, Changsheng Wang."
Wan Yanliang coldly snorted. "Changsheng Wang seems to have the highest chance, but in fact, there is already an irreconcilable conflict between him and the emperor. The emperor will never pass the throne to him."
"Does the conflict Prince is talking about refer to the Peach Blossom Madam?" Song Qingshu had been in the capital during this period of time, so he had heard about the relationship between the two brothers and this woman.
"Correct, back then, it was still Taizong who was the emperor. At that time, His Majesty and Changsheng Prince were both idle princes. In the end, Taoyao chose Changsheng Prince. Although His Majesty's heart ached, there was nothing he could do. But after the Emperor ascended the throne, everything changed. He was the Emperor, which woman in this world couldn't he have? His only concern now is that his reputation will be tarnished if he steals his brother's wife. Changsheng Wang has long known about the emperor's feelings for Tao Yao, so he has been plotting in secret. The relationship between the two brothers is tense, and they are on the verge of exploding, "Wan Yanliang said.
"Is that Madam Peach Blossom really that charming?" Song Qingshu asked, finding it hard to understand. Was it really worth it for an emperor to turn his brothers against each other just for a woman?
"Heh, if Tao Yao hadn't been living in seclusion in Changsheng Wang's fief all these years and rarely showed her face, the title of the most beautiful woman in the Jin Kingdom might not have fallen to Ge Bi." Speaking of Tao Yao, Wan Yanliang looked envious. He secretly felt that it was a pity that her identity was even more difficult to get than Ge Bi's, and he had no chance to get close to her.
Song QingShu was finally moved. He had experienced the beauty of Ge Bi before, and those who could compare to her were definitely great beauties who could cause the downfall of a nation.
"Since Changsheng Wang can't get the throne, and His Majesty has no children, who do you think has a chance to get the throne?" Song Qingshu probed again.
Wan Yanliang didn't answer. Instead, he looked at him with a faint smile and asked, "What do you think, Brother Tang Kuo?"
Song Qingshu was surprised. He remembered that Wanyan Liang had usurped the throne in the end. He lowered his voice and said, "You are the eldest grandson of Emperor Taizu, and among all the kings in the royal family, no one can compare with you, be it in terms of literary talent or martial arts. Therefore, I think that no one else is qualified to get the throne except you."
Wan Yanliang was overjoyed and said, "Brother Tang Kuo is indeed my bosom friend!"
Logically speaking, with his shrewdness, he would never reveal his true feelings so easily. However, he had just exchanged clothes with Tang Kuo Bian last night. With this relationship, the two of them were much closer than normal friends. Moreover, they had to hide this from their respective wives. Both of them had the same interests, so Wan Yanliang subconsciously regarded Tang Kuo Bian as a grasshopper on a rope.
What was even more surprising was that Tang Kuo's words struck a chord in Wanyan Liang's heart. That was exactly what he thought! Many times in the dead of night, he would think of the fact that no one had ever considered him, the eldest grandson of Emperor Taizu, when they talked about who should be the Crown Prince. He would go crazy with anger. Years ago, when the throne was returned to Emperor Taizu's line, Jin Xizong had stolen it first. Now, he wouldn't allow himself to fail a second time!
This had already become an inner demon in his heart. Due to the importance of this matter, he had never told anyone about it. Even when facing his trusted aide Xiao Yu's indirect questioning, he had only responded with silence. Hearing Song QingShu's words this time, he felt as if he had reached a high mountain and reached a flowing river.
"Humph, I thought that you had taken advantage of the Princess. When I become the Emperor one day, I won't let you live. I didn't expect you to be such a tactful person. Fine, I'll spare your life in the future. Hehe, when the time comes, I'll let you watch as I summon Ge Bi into the palace to have fun. That should be even more exciting. "
Although Wanyan Liang thought this way, he said something else, "Brother Tang Kuo, we're closer than brothers now. As long as Brother Tang Kuo can help me ascend the throne, you'll be the most meritorious official in the Dragon Dynasty. When the time comes, the positions of Minister and Commander-In-Chief will be yours!"
"Thank you, Your Highness! Oh, no, thank you, Your Majesty! "In terms of acting skills, Song Qingshu was not bad.
Wanyan Liang burst into laughter. The two of them continued to chat for a while. Suddenly, Song Qingshu asked, "Your Highness, do you have a way to get rid of Changsheng King?"
"Why would I want to get rid of him?" Wanyan Liang frowned. "He and Xizong will fight sooner or later. It wouldn't be wise for me to intervene now."
Song Qingshu shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you don't know this. Under normal circumstances, it would be best to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. But now, the Emperor's health is deteriorating. Who knows when he will pass away? When the time comes, Changsheng King will be the biggest winner before the two tigers fight. To put it bluntly, Prince Changsheng is the Emperor's younger brother, while Prince Changsheng is the Emperor's cousin. If something really happens to the Emperor, who do you think will be supported by all the civil and military officials? "
