In their previous lives, Su Yin, her mother, and her sister-in-law were brutally mu*dered by a mob. In a twist of fate, all three were reborn together.
Before the mob could reach their villag...
It’s no wonder that the prince reacted like that. He was also shocked after receiving the news.
Eunuch Hong repeated, "King Wu."
Song Yunhe suddenly laughed, tears streaming down his face, "King Wu, Song Zhiyi?!"
As Song Yunhe laughed, his expression gradually turned gloomy.
"What a carefree prince, what a man who lives in harmony with the world." Song Yunhe said coldly, "We can't keep this news to ourselves, we have to let everyone hear it."
If they had not planned this move for the young master in advance, Song Zhiyi would have really reap the benefits.
Eunuch Hong said slowly, "Your Highness, there is no need to do this. In less than an hour, most of the dignitaries in the entire Shangjing City will know about this. Duke Su wrote a memorial to the emperor, accusing the King of Wu of interfering in the military affairs of the northwest."
"The King of Wu will probably not have an easy time at the court tomorrow morning."
Song Yunhe couldn't help but laugh, "Eunuch Hong, we need to pay more attention to this fourth brother of mine."
…
Qin Palace
Today, everyone in the Prince of Qin's Mansion is immersed in joy. If Song Zhaoling wanted to keep a low profile, he would have asked the people below to light some firecrackers to celebrate.
When the master is happy, the people working below will feel more relaxed.
Song Zhaoling nestled in the arms of his beautiful and charming concubine, tasting the fruit she fed him, feeling very comfortable.
This feeling of comfort was soon interrupted by his trusted servant.
"Your Majesty, there is news from the northwest."
Song Zhaoling stood up from the beautiful concubine's arms and pinched her tender face before leaving. "Wait for me to come back."
The concubine's eyes were full of charm, and the corners of her lips were full of smiles. She stood up delicately and said, "I respectfully send you off, Your Majesty."
Song Zhaoling came out of the warm concubine's room and rarely did he blame the people below for disturbing his good times.
"What's the news from the northwest? Did the Darong invade again? Or did we lose the city again?"
"My Lord, I don't know."
When he arrived at the study, Song Zhaoling picked up the secret letter sent from the northwest. After reading its contents, his eyes widened and his face was dull. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He couldn't help rubbing his eyes and reading it carefully again to make sure that he was not mistaken and that it was really the King of Wu.
"Hahaha." Song Zhaoling couldn't help but burst out laughing, with a hint of anger after being deceived in his laughter, "Song Zhiyi, what a Song Zhiyi!"
He actually quietly placed his own people in the Northwest Army.
If it weren't for the wisdom of Duke Su, the northwest would have become his someday, and they would still be kept in the dark.
"My good brother really gave this king a big surprise."
There is a saying that goes, "A dog that doesn't bark will bite." It is absolutely true.
Previously, all my attention was focused on Song Yunhe and Song Tianqi, but now it seems that this was a big mistake.
He, as a good brother, is preparing to be a mantis stalking a cicada while the oriole is behind. He is going to be a oriole stealing peaches.
Song Zhaoling narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Yunwang Mansion
Song Tianqi was fishing leisurely, humming an unknown tune. As soon as the fishing rod moved, he immediately lifted it and a fat fish took the bait.
The servant at the side put the fish into the wooden barrel swiftly, and did not forget to flatter him, "Your Majesty is really amazing. You caught so many fish in just a short time."
Song Tianqi was in a good mood today, and said with a smile: "I'll reward you with a few later."
The servants who were serving him knelt down to express their gratitude.
At this moment, the servant in charge of intelligence came in hurriedly, knelt down and saluted, and immediately reported: "Your Majesty, intelligence has come from the northwest."
Song Tianqi waved his hand, and all the servants in the pavilion left, leaving only the two of them.
Song Tianqi still held the fishing rod in his hand, "Read."
The man spread out the intelligence and read out what was written on it, "On the New Year's Day, the Darong attacked and tried to kill Duke Su. The evil plot was discovered by the young master, and they were annihilated, and the deputy general Xu Tao who colluded with the enemy was captured."
When reading the previous content, there was no change on Song Tianqi's face. He was not surprised at all that Duke Su had such a record. What was a little surprising was probably the grandson of Duke Su, who played a very eye-catching role in it and made people take notice of him.
"Duke Su used his injury to lure out those with ulterior motives from the army. Two of them wanted to seize power. It seems that the plan to seize power had been planned long ago. After investigation, it was found that these two people were planted by the King of Wu."
"What?" Song Tianqi suddenly lost his composure.
He threw the fishing rod in his hand aside and stared at the other person with his eyes, "Repeat the last sentence again."
The man repeated honestly, "These two were placed by the King of Wu."
"King Wu?! Hahaha." Song Tianqi was so angry that he laughed, "Song Zhiyi!"
The next second, the chubby Song Tianqi broke down on the spot, "How can a useless person like him, who has nothing, actually place people in the Northwest Army? How can he reach out to the Northwest Army and almost succeed? How can this king be better than him?!!"
The subordinates who knelt down below were trembling, trying to minimize their presence.
It’s no wonder that my master is like this.
Their master had tried to win over the generals in the Northwest Army several times, but those big guys ignored him and rejected him all.
Now he suddenly heard that the King of Wu, who was inferior to him in every way, actually had troops in the Northwest Army. How could he not break through the defense?
Song Tianqi was so angry that the flesh on his face was shaking, "Why, why! I am a dragon among men, and Song Zhiyi is nothing."
He was so angry that he paced back and forth in the pavilion. When he saw the wooden barrel, he kicked it over in dissatisfaction, and all the fish in the barrel poured out. Without water, the fish kept struggling on the ground.
Song Tianqi raised his fat feet and kicked the fish away fiercely to vent his anger.
This blow was really big for Song Tianqi, and it was also very embarrassing.
"Those generals in the northwest are all idiots. Are they blind?" Song Tianqi gritted his teeth in anger.
He put his hands on his hips and took deep breaths. After a while, he squinted his eyes and asked, "How are Prince Qin and Prince Jing doing?"
The subordinate replied respectfully: "No surprises, we all know about it. Duke Su has already reported this to the court, and it should be dealt with in the court tomorrow."
Song Tianqi seemed to have found an opportunity to vent his anger, "Okay, very good. Song Zhiyi, you wait for me!"
Wu Wangfu
Song Zhiyi was also in a good mood today. It was quite interesting to sit behind the scenes and watch his brothers fighting each other.
He calculated the time, thinking that there should be news coming from the northwest.
I don’t know whether Lei Xing and the others succeeded.
Once he succeeds, he will have already taken one-third of the throne. Then, if he can take the Heng family's money, he will be on the top in no time.
A hurried figure walked towards this side quickly. After seeing Song Zhi, the person knelt down and saluted, and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news from the northwest."
