When Wanyan Zongxian received the Emperor's verbal order for him to enter the palace and have an audience with the Emperor, he did not have any suspicions. This was because the Emperor had tactfully revealed to him several times that he was going to depose Empress Pei Man and make Changsheng Prince's wife, Lady Peach Blossom, the new Empress.
In Wanyan Zongxian's opinion, this was very inappropriate. Although it was shocking to simply take his sister-in-law into the harem, it was not a big deal as long as it was done secretly. In the past, Wanyan Zongxian had Zhao Gou's mother, Empress Wei, and his wife, Empress Xing, in bed with him. How could he be an old pedant in this regard?
He objected because the Emperor's killing of Changsheng Prince had already caused a lot of controversy. If he were to publicly take his wife as the Empress, not only would the common people be in an uproar, but even the nobles would find it hard to accept.
During this period of time, he had been thinking about how to persuade the Emperor to change his mind. Coincidentally, he thought of a clever method and felt that this time he would definitely be able to persuade the Emperor. Just as he was thinking of quietly going to the Emperor after the morning court session, he received the palace edict. Without the slightest bit of suspicion, he entered the palace without any precaution.
As soon as he entered the palace, he was arrested and executed by Wanyan Liang's men. Before he died, he did not know about the upheaval in the palace and thought that his suggestion to change the Empress had angered the Emperor. Before he died, he said to the people around him, "Who can speak for me? My death is not to be regretted, but I hope that the Emperor will not listen to me!" He hoped that these words would reach the Emperor's ears so that he would stop being so stubborn.
As for the Left Prime Minister, Wanyan Zongmin, he did not receive an edict from the Emperor, but a secret edict from the Empress. Because of their many years of marriage, he was inextricably linked to Empress Pei Man's family. Over the years, he had always been a strong supporter of Empress Pei Man in the imperial court. The two of them worked together and controlled the Jin court for a long time. Although their power was affected after Wanyan Xue took over, their alliance had always been unbreakable.
Therefore, when he received Empress Pei Man's message from the palace, he did not suspect anything. Like Wanyan Zongxian, he entered the palace unprepared and was executed by Wanyan Liang's men.
From this, it could be seen how meticulous Wan Yanliang's plan was. He had even taken these details into consideration. That was why he could effortlessly get rid of the two leaders of the Jin Kingdom's military and political circles. In this way, no one in the entire imperial court could threaten him.
When Wanyan Liang received news from his subordinates that the two men had been taken care of, his last bit of worry disappeared.
There was still some time before the morning court session. Wanyan Liang had an idea and looked towards the Hall of Benevolence. "I can take advantage of this time to taste the delicate bodies of those beauties."
Just now, Wan Yanliang was busy issuing one order after another to control the situation. Therefore, he dispatched some men to bring Empress Pei Man and Taitish to the Hall of Benevolence. At this time, the two women were sitting on the dragon bed, holding each other's hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes. After a long time, Empress Pei Man sighed regretfully, "I didn't expect that after all our fighting, we would end up benefiting that dog Wan Yanliang."
Taitish frowned. "I have never fought with you over anything. It is you who have unilaterally treated me as an enemy."
Empress Pei Man was stabbed by her, and she couldn't help but say angrily, "Didn't fight for what? Who was the one who provoked His Majesty every now and then? So much so that His Majesty recently had the idea of replacing the Empress. "
"Replacing the Empress?" Taitish revealed a look of astonishment. After clarifying what was going on, she couldn't help but cry out, "If I had known that he had the idea of making me the Empress, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to act."
Thinking of how they had taken such a huge risk to control the Emperor, only to end up helping someone else, Taitish regretted it. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have chosen such a radical method. With her beauty and charm, it wouldn't have been difficult for her to make Wanyan Liang make up his mind. As long as she became the Empress, she would be able to legitimately influence the decisions of the Jin Kingdom. She wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.
"You slut, aren't you ashamed to say that?" Empress Pei Man spat hatefully. "If you hadn't plotted against His Majesty, how could Wanyan Liang and his group of rebels succeed in killing the Emperor so easily?"
"Who are you calling slut?" A murderous glint flashed across Taitish's eyes. She had always been proud of her chastity, so how could she tolerate Empress Pei Man repeatedly calling her a slut?
"So what if I am?" Empress Pei Man coldly snorted. "Stop pretending to be a chaste woman. With Wanyan Liang's temperament, none of us will be able to escape being humiliated by him in a moment. What are you still pretending for?"
Taitish's breathing instantly turned hurried. If not for the fact that her entire body was restrained, she would have long killed this woman before her. However, when she thought about the possibility of what Taitish said happening, a deep sense of helplessness washed over her.
All these years, she had been shuttling between Changsheng King and the Jin Kingdom's Emperor, yet she was still able to maintain her chastity. Could it be that she was destined to meet her doom today? 'Qianye, my husband, if your spirit is in heaven, please tell me what I should do.'
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Taitish's mind. She looked straight at Empress Pei Man and asked, "Why is your tone so calm? I can't sense your worry at all."
Empress Pei Man's expression changed. "Am I?"
Taitish's train of thought became clearer. "Of course I am! From the moment you appeared, you were behaving strangely. When you fell into our hands, you didn't show the slightest bit of fear. Instead, you threatened us in all sorts of ways. When Wanyan Liang appeared, I subconsciously thought that you were in cahoots with him. But now, it seems that you are relying on someone else. "
Empress Pei Man's expression flickered. Finally, she snorted and said, "So what? That person is my reliance, not yours. You should obediently wait to serve Wanyan Liang in bed. Who knows, if you serve him well, he might even bestow you the title of a concubine."
"Shut up!" When she thought of the possibility of Wanyan Liang doing those disgusting things on her body, Taitish's face turned pale. "Ask your backer to help me out. Otherwise, when Wanyan Liang comes in, I will tell him everything. When that happens, no one will be able to leave."
Empress Pei Man immediately became furious. "You slut!"
At this moment, Wanyan Liang's voice sounded from the doorway. "What are you two beauties doing? Why are you so angry? It seems that this Prince will have to soothe your anger. "
Taitish ignored him and continued to look at Empress Pei Man. "This is your last chance!"
Empress Pei Man bit her lips and finally nodded. "You win."
"What are you two beauties talking about?" Wanyan Liang was confused. However, his attention was quickly attracted by the two women's figures. Taitish sat there with a slight anger, looking like a meticulously carved jade statue. She was bright and sparkling, and every part of her body gave people the urge to caress her. Although Empress Pei Man was not as beautiful as Taitish, she was still a famous beauty in the Jin Kingdom. Coupled with her high status as an Empress, her attractiveness to men was not inferior to Taitish's.
Wanyan Liang looked left and right but could not decide on who to start with. In the end, he simply made up his mind. "This Prince is really muddle-headed. Is there even a need to choose? Let's do it together!"
