Wanyan Liang took off his clothes as he walked towards the dragon bed. "My two beauties, whoever serves me better, I … no, I will confer her the title of Empress."
Pei Man laughed coldly. "I am the Empress, do I need you to confer me the title?"
Wanyan Liang's eyes turned cold. "Since ancient times, when an Emperor dies, there will always be someone buried with him in the harem. Do you want to try?"
Empress Pei Man's expression changed several times, but she did not refute.
Taj-tish saw that he was getting closer and closer and tried to stall for time. "Your Highness, why do you need to trick us? You already have a legitimate Princess in your residence. If you ascend the throne, she will naturally be the Empress. How can we have a chance?"

Wanyan Liang's expression turned ugly. "That may not be true. Although Tu Danjing is the Princess, she may not be the Empress." In fact, during this period of time, he had been regretting what happened that night. Although he finally got to taste Ge Bi's body as he wished, that night his wife was also under another man's body. When he thought of that scene, it was as if there was a thorn in his heart.
Today, after the coup d 'état, he was even more vexed. If he had known earlier, he would have endured for a while. Once he became the Emperor, obtaining Ge Bi would be a piece of cake. Why did he have to sacrifice his wife?
Now, every time Wanyan Liang saw his wife, he could not help but think of some unpleasant scenes. Thus, when he said that the Empress may not be Tu Danjing, he was not completely deceiving them.
When he accidentally thought of this matter, Wanyan Liang's anger flared up. Because Taj-tish had mentioned this matter, he was prepared to vent his anger on her. With reddened eyes, he reached out to pull Taj-tish's clothes.
Taj-tish's expression changed greatly and she subconsciously tried to dodge. Unfortunately, her acupoints were sealed and she could not move an inch. Moreover, she had used the pink smoke in her mouth to deal with Da Xing. She was now completely defenseless.
At this time, a mocking voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall, "To deal with such a devastatingly beautiful woman, if you can't get along, then attacking the heart is the best and attacking the body is the second. Your Highness is also a flower lover, so why did you choose the most impulsive and despicable method?"
"Who dares to speak such nonsense here!" Wan Yanliang was enraged, but he quickly calmed down. His heart sank. For someone to appear outside the palace at this time meant that something must have happened.
When Wan Yanliang put on his clothes and walked out of the hall, his other subordinates gathered around him. He hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Bring the two women out."
He didn't know how many people the other party had and was worried that the other party was using a diversion tactic to attract everyone's attention and take advantage of the chaos to rescue the two women.
He would never allow a woman of peerless elegance like Taitish to fall into the hands of another man. As for Pei Man, her identity as the Empress would be of great help in stabilizing the situation of the imperial court. Therefore, he could not afford to lose either of these two ladies. He would only feel at ease keeping them by his side.
"Tang Kuo Bian?" When Wanyan Liang saw the person standing outside the hall, he was shocked.
"Prince, long time no see." Song Qingshu smiled.
"Shouldn't you be at Chongyang Palace?" Wan Yanliang frowned. During this time, the people he had sent to keep an eye on the situation kept coming back with news. From the latest news, Tang Kuo Bian, Pu Cha, and Ahu's three thousand men should be near Mount Zhongnan.
"Who said I was at Chongyang Palace?" Song QingShu suddenly came to a realization. He casually threw a package in front of him and said, "It should be this person who told you."
The package rolled on the ground a few times and soon revealed a round object. Wanyan Liang took a closer look and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. "Tu Danzhen!"
Inside the package was the severed head of Tu Danzhen, the person he had sent to keep an eye on Tang Kuo Bian.
Tu Danzhen's eyes immediately turned red. He and Tu Danzhen were both from the Tu Danzhen family and had always been close. Xiao Tanggu Dai and Yelu Yuanyi also had gloomy expressions. Although their relationship with Tu Danzhen wasn't as good as Tu Danzhen's, they were all Wanyan Liang's four bodyguards. Seeing their comrade's head separated from his body, they couldn't help but feel sad.
They took a step forward and were about to attack when Wanyan Liang hurriedly stopped them. He still had many questions to ask the other party. It wouldn't be too late to take revenge after he answered them.
"Since you're here, Pucha and Ahu must have returned as well. Where are they now?" Wanyan Liang asked coldly.
Just as he finished speaking, the faint sounds of weapons clashing could be heard from the palace. Song Qingshu shrugged his shoulders. "The Pucha family has always been loyal to the royal family. Now that there's a traitor in the family, they're trying to clean up the family."
Wan Yanliang's expression changed. No wonder Pucha and Ahu hadn't returned after so long after he sent them to take over the Imperial Army. It turned out that Pucha and Ahu were delaying them.
However, he wasn't too worried. Instead, he coldly said, "Ahu has at most three thousand men under his command. Ahu has far more men under his command. With the help of my own troops, it's hard to say who will be the one to clean up who."
Song Qingshu smiled. "Your Highness does have a lot of men under your command, but can they be more than the one hundred thousand soldiers of the Northern Barracks?"
Wanyan Liang's expression finally changed. "Impossible. Unless it's the Emperor's Tiger Seal, no one can mobilize the Northern Barracks."
There were a total of three armies near the capital. One was the Imperial Bodyguards under the control of the Imperial Inspector. Wanyan Liang had used a scheme to get rid of the Imperial Inspector, Wanyan Tesi, and then moved the Left Deputy Inspector, Pucha Ahu, away, allowing his trusted aide, Ahu, to take control of the Imperial Bodyguards. Another army was the Defense Army of the capital, which was under the control of the Imperial Police. After many years of infiltration, most of this army was under his control. The last army was the Northern Barracks. It could be said to be the most elite army in the entire Jin Kingdom. It was under the direct command of the Emperor. If a war were to break out, the soldiers in the Marshal's Office would come from this army.
It was impossible for Wanyan Liang not to consider such an army. However, since this army could only be mobilized by the Emperor himself or by the Emperor's Tiger Seal, he chose to attack directly. As long as he controlled the Emperor, this army would naturally be under his control.
Although he did not find the Tiger Seal just now, from the testimony of the relevant personnel, it should have been hidden somewhere by the Emperor. Since he already controlled the Imperial Palace, he could slowly search for it. Even if he could not find it, as long as he became the new Emperor, he would still be able to command the army. Now that he heard the news of this army from Song Qingshu, how could he not be moved?
"The Emperor already knew that you were up to no good, so he secretly gave the Tiger Seal to me. I have already sent the Qi Kingdom's Princess, Wanyan Ping, to mobilize the Northern Barracks into the capital. If everything goes according to plan, your men should be under control by now." Song Qingshu's calm voice was like a bolt from the blue that shook Wanyan Liang's ears.
