Chapter 147 He's Back

"Longming has no chance of making a comeback—who is Qian Su working for? Could it be that he has sided with the Prince of Jin?"

Li Wei guessed.

"Impossible. His relationship with the Prince of Jin's faction is very bad. My husband, you are not familiar enough with the specific situation in the court."

Long Bilin said softly.

She wasn't embarrassed at all, so she called Li Wei "husband" right in front of Xiao Shuying.

Xiao Shuying was listening intently to the two men's analysis when she suddenly felt a mischievous hand slip into her inner garment.

"That brat—"

In front of Long Bilin, she naturally dared not speak out or make a fuss, and could only let Li Wei do as he pleased.

The key issue is that the three of them were too close together. If Long Bilin used her divine sense to sense what Li Wei was doing, she could easily find out.

Xiao Shuying could only pray that Long Bilin was focused on her business and wouldn't pay attention to this.

"There's one more thing. Whose advice did your father follow to plan tonight's events and put the Prince of Zhenbei in such a precarious position?"

Li Wei said, "I'm multitasking, no, I'm multitasking."

Actually, both of his hands are restless.

Long Bilin remained silent for a while, waiting for his antics to subside before saying, "That 'Song of the King of Zhenbei Breaking the Enemy' arrived in the capital a month ago, so it shouldn't be the work of Father Emperor."

"It feels like someone set up a trap for the Prince of Zhenbei first, and then handed that trap over to my father."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei suddenly thought of Long Luo.

As the son of the Prince of Zhenbei, he was not required to serve as a hostage, yet he suddenly appeared in the capital, and then this happened. No one would believe that he had nothing to do with it.

"Is Long Luo messing with his father?" Li Wei boldly speculated.

"That's certainly possible. After all, he's an illegitimate son and can't inherit the title of Prince. He might betray his father for some benefit."

Long Bilin quite agreed with this conjecture, after all, the royal family is inherently sparsely related, so it is not surprising that some acts of filial piety between father and son would occur.

"However, he should just be a pawn, whose role is to provide witnesses to confirm the Prince of Zhenbei's treason. This 'Breaking the Formation Melody' was most likely created by his accomplices."

Long Bilin added.

"Could it be an accomplice, Meng Rang, the Duke of Wei Lie?" Li Wei said.

That day, after he mentioned to Long Bilin that it was suspicious for Long Luo and Meng Zhaorui to be hanging out together, Long Bilin had someone investigate them.

According to the investigation, Long Luo and Meng Zhaorui were probably strangers before. They only became close friends after Long Luo arrived in Beijing a month ago.

"Meng Rang and Qian Su are both former princelings. They are indeed having a hard time now, but why would they cause you trouble?"

It couldn't be to avenge his good-for-nothing son, could it?

Long Bilin frowned slightly and said, "This is indeed strange."

"Forget it, I'll just deal with whatever comes my way and see how they make their moves."

After saying that, Li Wei thought of something else and continued, "By the way, Your Highness, Aunt Ying, I'm going to Guixu Cave Heaven with Senior Sister Yan in a while to help them resolve some matters."

.

[Correction: In Chapter 135, it was previously written that Li Wei and Long Bilin explained that the dual cultivation technique came from the Kongsang Sect, but Long Bilin should not have known that Li Wei had joined the Kongsang Sect at that time. It has been corrected to Guixu Cave Heaven.]

"What matter requires your expertise as a disciple to resolve?" Xiao Shuying asked, puzzled.

Li Wei thought for a moment and felt that if he kept it a secret any longer, the misunderstandings would only increase, so he decided to tell the two women that he had joined the Kongsang Sect.

The reason I didn't say anything before was because I was worried that if Yaoyue found out I had leaked this information, she would do something bad.

Now that he's certain that Yaoyue has feelings for him, he's not so afraid anymore.

Li Wei then told them that he had been made a holy son by the Kongsang Sect because he had mastered the Nine Cauldrons Technique.

He even mentioned that his trip to the Kongsang Sect was to help them exorcise demons.

"Xiao Wei, I want to go with you," Xiao Shuying said softly.

"Don't worry, Aunt Ying. My combat strength is no less than that of a Heavenly Fate cultivator, and this time we will be escorted by Elder Kongsang, who is at the Void Realm."

Li Wei gently patted Xiao Shuying's back and said.

"Aunt Ying, you will stay at the Princess's residence to protect Her Highness and focus on improving your cultivation."

"Husband, are you sure that elder is trustworthy?"

"Long Bilin asked."

Li Wei couldn't hold back his laughter. This elder had been interrogating you every night. If he had any bad intentions, would you still ask such a question?

However, he certainly couldn't say that directly.

"Isn't Senior Sister Yan traveling with us? You all know her character. She's accepting disciples on behalf of her master. Even disregarding her status as a Holy Son, I'm now the sect leader's disciple, so that elder wouldn't harm me."

Li Wei thought for a moment and then said.

The two women were somewhat relieved upon hearing this.

After that, the three of them fell silent, with only Li Wei searching intently.

Both women kept their emotions to themselves.

The night passed quickly.

In fact, both women eventually realized that Li Wei was having an affair with both women, but they tacitly refrained from exposing him.

In the early morning, Xiaoju and Xiaolan came in to help the three of them change clothes and wash up.

This effectively made the relationship between the three of them completely public to the four women.

Now that things have come to this, Xiao Shuying isn't embarrassed anymore, since they're all her own younger sisters anyway.

At her request, Xiaoju and Xiaolan also changed their address to Aunt Ying.

Now, in this princess's residence, Xiaoxiao is probably the only one unaware of her relationship with Li Wei.

The news of the Lantern Festival Gala spread quickly, and within a day, almost the entire capital knew what had happened the night before.

Anyone with a bit of political acumen knows that the Prince of Zhenbei is in trouble.

In addition, the poetry duel between Li Wei and Qian Su, as well as the subsequent performance of a song, also spread.

Everyone was talking about those two poems.

Many lamented that Qian Su had already captured the essence of the Lantern Festival, a masterpiece worthy of being passed down through generations, but he paled in comparison to Li Wei's timeless lyric.

As for "The Music of the Prince of Yan Breaking the Enemy's Formation," with the court's deliberate promotion, it spread throughout the brothels and entertainment districts of the entire capital in a single day.

On the upper floor of Nongyue Pavilion.

"There's no mistake, he's back."

Tu Shan Shiyu, holding a pipa, repeatedly played a section of "Yan Wang Po Zhen Yue" and murmured.

"Wei Li, Li Wei—I should have thought of this sooner."

Her expression was complicated.

The six thousand years of waiting have not been in vain. Young Master Wei is indeed the Lord of Reincarnation, and now he has returned to the world under the alias Li Wei.

She was so certain because she had only ever seen this musical score of "The Music of the Prince of Yan Breaking the Enemy's Formation" written in the style of "Prince Wei".

"There is also a very small chance that Li Wei wrote this passage by accident, but as long as I can meet him once and see him play the zither or pipa once, I will know whether he is the young master Wei or not."

Tu Shan Shiyu thought to himself.

Because not only is Young Master Wei's composition unique, but his playing technique is also very special, with many techniques that she has never seen anyone else use.

"This matter must not be known to Master. According to the Dali Weekly, Li Wei is only at the Spirit Bridge Realm. It's possible that Young Master Wei's strength was damaged when he descended to the mortal world and hasn't recovered yet."

"If my master finds out that I have found Young Master Wei, he might kill him."

Thinking of this, Tu Shan Shiyu put down her pipa and dared not show any unusual behavior.
