Chapter 192 Changbai Comes to Southern Xinjiang
Zhao Huaijin returned to his usual silly and cute appearance, and Song Qingwan held her forehead helplessly.
In the end, the two of them did not get intimate, because Song Qingwan's child was now six months old, and her pulse was unstable after the snake venom had just been cleared, so Zhao Huaijin did not dare to make trouble. The two of them stayed in the room for the whole afternoon before coming out.
Mr. Pei held a welcoming banquet specifically for Zhao Huaijin. At the banquet, Mr. Pei took the initiative to mention the problems of the southern Xinjiang regime, hoping that Zhao Huaijin and Song Qingwan could give some suggestions.
Zhao Huaijin put down his wine glass and spoke slowly.
"Master Pei, do you think the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang still has the ability to support the entire government?"
"This is exactly why I am looking for you two. The emperor is now a disabled person. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. But now the queen has no children. There is really no one left for my Pei family to support."
"I have heard that the Southern Xinjiang court does not have a rule that requires a prince to rule. Why don't you consider the princess, Lord Pei?"
"Princess? Your Majesty, are you talking about Yueyao? To be honest, although Yueyao is a smart child, she does not have the ability to rule."
"Then Lord Pei, do you know where Yueyao's descendants are now?"
"Descendants of Yueyao?"
Mr. Pei opened his eyes wide in shock, his face full of disbelief.
He knew that Yue Yao had been missing for several years and had been accompanying the Queen since her return, but he had never heard that Yue Yao had any offspring.
Isn't she still unmarried? Where did the child come from?
"Let Princess Yueyao explain this to you personally."
After Zhao Huaijin finished speaking, he looked towards the door. Princess Yueyao was walking towards him accompanied by a palace maid, with a little boy of four or five years old beside her.
"Yue Yaojian has met grandfather."
"Yueyao, the child is..."
"Grandpa, this child is my son. He was born when I was away from home for a few years. He also has a certain relationship with this Princess Huai."
"Oh?"
Princess Yueyao then told him about how Song Qingwan had saved him, and that Song Changbai and Song Qingwan were siblings.
Mr. Pei couldn't accept so much information at once and just stood there in a daze.
Song Qingwan stood up, walked to Song Changbai, squatted down, and touched his little face with her hand.
"Are you tired from all the traveling?"
"Don't be tired, I haven't seen my elder sister for a long time, Changbai misses her very much."
Song Changbai is soft, white and tender, looking like a little adult. Although he is small in age, he is very tall and looks like a child of six or seven years old.
Song Qingwan stepped forward, took Song Changbai's hand, walked in front of Mr. Pei, lowered her head and spoke to him.
"Changbai, this is my great-grandfather."
"Changbai has met my great-grandfather."
Song Changbai knelt down on his knees in front of Mr. Pei and kowtowed loudly.
Old Master Pei stood up excitedly and went forward to pick up Song Changbai.
"Oh! That's great, this child is so good!"
At this time the queen also rushed over. When she heard that Yueyao brought Changbai to Pei's house, she immediately put down her work and came to meet the mother and son.
But after a while, Changbai was held in the arms of the Pei family and loved by them. The young masters of the Pei family also liked Changbai very much.
Changbai was also very sweet-talker and very perceptive, and he made Mr. Pei laugh all the time, with his beard almost sticking up to the sky.
After the family has had enough time to be intimate, it’s time to get down to business.
Old Master Pei told Princess Yuyao about Song Qingwan and Zhao Huaijin's proposal. Princess Yuyao was silent at first, and she touched Changbai's head lovingly.
"Changbai, if I asked you to be the emperor of Southern Xinjiang, would you be willing?"
Changbai stared at his mother with a confused look on his face. He didn't understand what it meant to be an emperor, but he could see that everyone wanted him to do so.
"As long as mother and great-grandfather are happy, Changbai is willing."
Princess Yueyao nodded with satisfaction and hugged Changbai in her arms.
They have been separated as mother and son for more than four years, so naturally, they can never be close enough.
But when Yue Yao thought about her son becoming the emperor at such a young age, ascending to that supreme position and becoming a lonely person, her heart ached.
Song Qingwan stepped forward and comforted him softly and gave him careful guidance.
"Don't worry about it. With the Pei family here, I believe Changbai will have a good life. As his mother, don't you want Changbai to live a good life in the second half of his life?"
Yueyao wiped her tears and nodded.
She understood that Song Qingwan was right. If Changbai did not become the emperor of Southern Xinjiang and stay by her side as the princess's son, then he would have no support behind him.
After discussion, the matter was finally settled, and Mr. Pei went to negotiate with the emperor to ask him to abdicate voluntarily.
But Song Qingwan didn't think that just talking would make this paranoid and crazy emperor abdicate, and pass the throne to a grandson whom she had never met.
Mr. Pei decided to give it a try, so he entered the palace.
The moment he saw the emperor, he almost didn't recognize him. The emperor before him looked like he had aged twenty years, with white hair and a skinny body. There seemed to be a black aura surrounding his face, and his eyes were cloudy, as if all the energy had been drained out of him.
The emperor narrowed his eyes hard, and when he realized that the person coming was Old Man Pei, he suddenly laughed wildly.
"Are you here to see me make fun of you? Are you satisfied with my current state?"
"The old minister dare not."
"Have you seen how I have become? My poison has been acting up for many days, but I can't find a way to relieve it."
"Poison? What poison has the emperor been poisoned by?"
"It's all because of that bitch Leng Xinrou! She told me that as long as I keep putting a poison on my body, I can stay young forever and live forever!"
After listening to the emperor's story, Mr. Pei found it hard to believe. He seemed to understand the reason why the emperor's temperament had changed drastically in recent years.
"Your Majesty, how can you be so confused? Where in the world is there an elixir of immortality? They are all lies."
"Her behavior proves that this Gu is effective, doesn't it? I just don't know why she suddenly disappeared. What a bitch!"
"Leng Xinrou is now a prisoner. Do you know that she has been secretly cooperating with Zhao Yuanshen in an attempt to seize power in southern Xinjiang?"
"What? I don't believe it!"
"If Your Majesty does not believe me, please follow me."
After saying this, Mr. Pei ordered several servants to carry the sedan chair and the emperor directly to the secret room where the Pei family imprisoned Leng Xinrou.
Leng Xinrou was startled when she opened her eyes and saw the emperor suddenly appear in front of her. The emperor walked straight forward and held her hand.
"How did you come?"
"Rou'er, Rou'er, please save me, the poison has taken effect!"
Leng Xinrou looked at the emperor like this and pulled her hand away in disgust.
"Your Majesty, can't you see? I am also a prisoner now, how can I help you?"
"Yes, it's the Pei family? They are the ones who have imprisoned you. They locked you up so that you can't continue to take the Forgetfulness Gu, right?"
Old Master Pei finally couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled the emperor over and threw him to the ground.
"Look at you now. Do you still have the demeanor of a king? My Pei family worked hard to support you to the throne. This is how you repay me!"
