Chapter 204: Since You Can’t Win, Just Overturn the Chessboard

"Jiahe, why don't you think of a way to persuade Lanling Wang to stay here?" Wang Mang winked at Su Jiahe and smiled meaningfully. Su Jiahe naturally understood that Wang Mang meant to ask Lanling Wang to be her boyfriend.

"Forget it." Su Jiahe waved his hand.

Although Lanling Wang is stunningly handsome, gentle as jade, and polite, Su Jiahe knows her own limitations.

In the evening, the group returned to the villa and happened to meet other people returning home from school.

"Let me introduce to you all. This is our new guest today, Gao Changgong of the Northern Qi royal family, also known as Prince Lanling." Su Jiahe introduced to everyone.

"So you are Lanling King. I have heard of you for a long time." When He Shuangqing was a child reading history books, he got to know Lanling King a little bit and admired his ability and character very much.

Although the three boys were born more than a hundred years earlier than Lanling King, they had all heard of his name and came forward to greet him.

"Miss Su, you have so many people in your family." Lanling Wang looked at everyone with a smile.

"Little brother, it's cold outside, have a cup of hot water." As she spoke, Daji came to Lanling King, holding a porcelain cup in her hand and handed it to Lanling King.

"Okay, thank you." Lanling Wang took the cup with both hands.

"Sister Su, what are we having for dinner tonight? Let me treat you so that you can have more delicious food." Daji turned to Su Jiahe and said.

"No need for you, I'll do some."

"Let me do it..." Before Daji could finish her words, she was pulled aside by He Shuangqing.

"Little Daji, be more reserved and don't be too attentive to others when you see them." He Shuangqing reminded in a low voice.

"Oh? Was I being attentive just now?" Daji was a little embarrassed. "But Lanling Prince is really handsome, even better looking than the male lead in the short drama."

After a while, the takeaway that Su Jiahe ordered arrived. Everyone gathered around the table, eating and chatting.

"Is life good in the future? If you lived in the present, there would be many girls chasing after you." Wang Mang said jokingly while picking up some food for Lanling King.

"Of course the future is like a fairyland, but..." Lanling Wang suddenly hesitated.

"It doesn't matter, just say whatever you want here."

"I just don't know what happened to Northern Qi in the end." Lanling Wang had long seen that in the past thousand years, China had undergone earth-shaking changes, and Northern Qi had long been lost in the dust of history.

"Oh, so that's what you're worried about. Relax a little. There is no dynasty that lasts forever. Although the Northern Qi Dynasty is gone, the wheel of history keeps rolling forward." Wang Mang patted Lanling King on the shoulder.

"Alas," Lanling Wang sighed softly, "My uncle was cruel and inhumane. The fall of our country is inevitable. I just don't know what will become of my descendants after the fall of Northern Qi."

"I'm not sure about this yet. Let me check it out." Su Jiahe picked up his mobile phone and opened Baidu. Everyone gathered around and checked it out together.

"The little brother is not only handsome, but also has great military achievements." Daji couldn't help but admire Lanling Wang as she looked at his resume.

However, as the page scrolled down, everyone's expression changed.

"No way, such a good person like you was sentenced to death?" Su Jiahe's face was full of shock.

"What kind of bastard emperor is Gao Wei? My little brother has made such a great contribution, but he turned against me." Daji stomped her feet in anger.

"Alas, this is how the royal family is. Suspicion is endless and has killed so many people." Wang Mang sighed helplessly.

The Northern Qi Dynasty is relatively unpopular in history. People have only heard of it vaguely, but they don't know that there was such a tragic case of fratricide.

Upon learning that he would die at the hands of his younger brother, Prince Lanling sat blankly in his chair, his eyes vacant, remaining silent for a long time. "Young Master, are you alright?" Su Jiahe gently patted Prince Lanling.

"Blame it on me, it's all my fault," Lanling Wang shed two clear tears. "One of my subordinates once warned me that my numerous military exploits might overshadow the emperor and make him wary. I thought we were brothers, and that this wouldn't happen. But I never expected my words to come true."

When the three boys learned of Lanling King's fate, they were all reminded of the past and hugged each other and cried.

“Brother, why don’t you stay here like us? You won’t have to live the life of constant fear and intrigue in the imperial family anymore,” Liu Zhun said.

"No, no," Lanling Wang shook his head. "You are just children, but I have a wife and children at home. How can I abandon them and live a miserable life alone?"

"I can't escape, and I can't live either. I might as well rebel. The emperors of Northern Qi are all crazy anyway, and they should have been driven out long ago." Wang Mang slammed the table and said angrily.

"Rebellion?" Lanling Wang suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes filled with surprise and fear.

"Resisting is not easy, let me teach you..."

"Okay, Brother Wang, please stop talking for now." Su Jiahe quickly interrupted Wang Mang.

Lanling Wang slowly stood up and returned to his room.

"What's wrong with him?" He Shuangqing asked worriedly.

"It's okay, let him calm down. No one can accept such a fate suddenly." Wang Mang silently closed the door of the guest room.

The next day, everyone else went to school as usual. Su Jiahe and Wang Mang also got up and sat in the living room with Yingying, but there was still no movement in Lanling Wang's room.

"Jiahe, I hope nothing happened to him." Wang Mang was a little worried.

"I'll go take a look."

Su Jiahe walked to the door of the guest room and was about to knock when it suddenly opened. Lanling Wang walked out slowly, his expression still calm and gentle.

"Are you feeling better?" Wang Mang asked cautiously.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry to have caused you all such worry. After a night of thinking, I've finally figured it out. When I return, I'll retire from the court and no longer get involved in the struggles of the imperial court, to protect the safety of my family."

"No, you came to this conclusion after thinking about it all night," Wang Mang was speechless.

"You know, you can't just retreat now. The court will call you when they need a war, and once you win, they'll definitely kill you. No matter which way you go, it's a dead end."

"Is there really no way out?" Lanling Wang's eyes showed a hint of melancholy.

"Brother Wang, please stop joking about me rebelling. Let's not talk about ethics, loyalty, filial piety, chastity, and righteousness. Since I was young, my mother was of humble origin and I have not been valued. Although I hold the position of Shangshu Ling, I cannot mobilize many troops. If I act in a disloyal way, I will surely die."

"Brother Wang, his situation seems really unsolvable." Su Jiahe sighed.

"Since it is a dead end, there is only one way to solve it," Wang Mang said.

"What advice do you have, brother Wang?"

"Do you know Emperor Jing of Han?" Wang Mang asked.

"I know, what's wrong?"

"When Emperor Jing of Han was a child, he was playing chess with Liu Bi, the King of Wu. Because he couldn't beat him, he simply swung the chessboard and smashed him to death."
