Song Qingshu felt a headache coming on. Pucha Alihu's request was clearly different. He wanted Wanyan Liang to see it with his own eyes in order to achieve his revenge. This was a bit too much …
As if seeing through Song QingShu's refusal, Pucha Alihu bit her lips and threw out a bargaining chip that Song QingShu found hard to refuse. "As long as Benefactor helps me this time, I and my daughter will repay Benefactor's great kindness even if we have to work like an ox or a horse in the future. Yes, yes, yes. "
Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Pucha Alihu's charming and mature face, then at the young and beautiful Wanyan Zhongjie standing to the side. His heartbeat sped up uncontrollably.
Pucha Alihu continued, "If I'm not wrong, Benefactor will need to win over the Pucha family and the princes of Taizong's lineage if you want to gain complete control of the court. I and Zhongjie can help Benefactor solve this problem."
When Song QingShu heard this, he realized that he had misunderstood. He secretly despised himself, but who knew how many men in Daxing Manor secretly coveted this pair of beautiful orphan and widowed mother, so it was quite normal for him to misunderstand.
"I need to think about this." Although Pucha Alihu's proposal was very tempting, Song Qingshu didn't immediately agree. After all, this matter was too unimaginable. He had no choice but to use the delaying tactic.
Because Ge Bi and Wanyan Ping had already gone to find Wanyan Liang, Pucha Alihu and Zhongjie couldn't go to the laundry for the time being. They had no choice but to stay in the palace for a while, so they took the opportunity to visit some of the imperial concubines. The Pucha family had a marriage alliance with the imperial family, and Wanyan Zhongjie was a descendant of Taizong's lineage. He was related to many people in the palace, but because he had lost power in the past, he rarely went to the palace. Now that he had Song Qingshu as his backer, he could finally visit friends in the palace.
After visiting a few people, Pucha Alihu took advantage of the time when no one was looking to pull his daughter aside and say, "Mother plans to find an opportunity to marry you to him."
Wanyan Zhongjie was stunned. "Marry who?"
Pucha Alihu glared at his daughter. "Who are you going to marry?"
Wanyan Zhongjie finally reacted and his face turned red. "Why should I marry him? Do you really have to use this kind of method to repay your kindness? "
Pucha stroked his daughter's head dotingly and sighed faintly. "Do you think I'm doing this to repay you?"
"Isn't it?" Wanyan Zhongjie couldn't help but twitch her mouth. She had been curious about Tang Kuobian's mysteriousness, and later, she was convinced by Song Qingshu's strength. At the same time, she was very grateful that he had avenged her and her daughter. But these favorable impressions weren't enough to make her want to marry him.
"Of course not." Pucha Alihu shook his head. "We're orphans and widows. In the end, we can't support a family. You'll have to marry eventually. Now that the power of the Imperial Court has fallen into his hands, marrying him will ensure the glory of our family for generations to come. It might even surpass the glory of your grandfather and father."
"And on the surface, our relationship with him is very good, but it's clear that he doesn't trust us. No one knows what will happen in the future. Only through marriage can we completely set him at ease. At the same time, it will ensure our safety. Also, you don't want the Three Corpse Brain Pill to act up in your body, do you? " Even though Pucha Alihu had seen many things in her life, she still paled at the thought of that terrifying pill.
Wanyan Zhongjie's expression was also a little ugly. She couldn't help but snort. "I don't believe that he'll be so heartless as to not give us the antidote when the time comes."
Pucha Alihu recalled Song Qingshu's handsome face and clear eyes. She actually agreed with her daughter's judgment. However, she wasn't a teenage girl after all. When she made decisions, she was more cautious and rational. She wasn't willing to put everything on some illusory feeling.
"Actually, what I said to you just now wasn't the real reason. The reason why I'm so anxious for you to marry him …" Pucha Alihu paused and didn't explain directly. Instead, she changed the topic. "Although he's now the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he's destined to only be the Emperor as Wanyan Xi. In the future, the throne will eventually be passed on to the descendants of the Wanyan Clan. But since he's the Emperor, why would he pass the throne to someone who has nothing to do with him? So the biggest possibility is that he'll pass the throne to his own son in the end. "
"However, Ge Bi and Wanyan Ping also know that he's pretending to be the Emperor. Although they love Song Qingshu so much that they won't expose his identity, they definitely aren't willing to become the eternal sinners of the Wanyan Clan and let the throne fall into the hands of someone else."
"If Mother's predictions are correct, in the end, the two sides will definitely choose a method that satisfies both sides. That is to pass the throne to a prince who is both Song Qingshu's son and also has the Wanyan Clan's bloodline."
Wanyan Zhongjie was confused and subconsciously replied, "Mother, you're really far-sighted. But what does this have to do with me?"
Pucha Alihu really wanted to give his daughter a good beating and knock on her head. His daughter was smart, but she used all her intelligence on martial arts and weird stuff. She was born into the royal family, but she knew nothing about politics. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Of course it's related!" Pucha Alihu hurriedly explained. "Based on the current situation, Ge Bi, Wanyan Ping, and Song Qingshu have the closest relationship. If nothing unexpected happens, one of their sons or Song Qingshu's sons will be chosen to inherit the throne. However, Ge Bi's husband is Tang Kuo Bian in name, so it's very difficult to hide this from the public. Thus, the greatest possibility is still Wanyan Ping and Song Qingshu's son.
"But there are no absolutes in this world. Wanyan Ping has the imperial bloodline, but aren't you also of the imperial bloodline? As the granddaughter of Emperor Taizong's first wife, if you and Song Qingshu have a son, whether it's in terms of bloodline or legal principles, your right to inherit the throne won't be lower than Wanyan Ping's son's.
"So it doesn't matter who is chosen to be the Emperor in the end. What will affect the final result is Song Qingshu's preferences and preferences. Zhongjie, you've inherited Mother's beauty, and it seems like you're going to surpass your mother. In this aspect, you have an innate advantage over Wanyan Ping. When the time comes, you just have to work hard to win Song Qingshu's favor. How can Wanyan Ping compete with you? "
Wanyan Zhongjie was dumbstruck. She hadn't been able to figure this out before not because she was stupid, but because her mind wasn't on the matter. Now that her mother had seen through her, she instantly understood the stakes and couldn't help but admire her mother's foresight.
