Wang Linquan was a spy for Beiliang, and he did this to provoke conflict between Li Chang'an and Zhao Heng.
However, Wang Linquan's plan was completely wrong.
He overestimated Zhao Heng and underestimated Li Chang'an.
The most prominent characteristic of Prince Jing'an, Zhao Heng, is his cowardice.
He's so cowardly that he can only bully his own family, his son, and his wife.
He was so cowardly that he developed bipolar disorder, feeling both repressed and irritable.
He feared the emperor's suspicion and also feared that Northern Liang would turn against him.
If Li Chang'an slept with Pei Nanwei, it would be absolutely impossible to expect Zhao Heng to send troops to fight them.
Because Zhao Heng doesn't care about Pei Nanwei at all, the one who might actually send troops to fight is that Crown Prince Zhao Heng.
However, that person is more cunning than capable, and besides, he doesn't even have military power now.
Li Chang'an's own strength and realm have increased dramatically, and he also has the protection of Gu Dazu, who is at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
There are also several first-rank subordinates, such as Fu Jiang Hongjia and Wu Liuding and his servant.
Not to mention within Qingzhou, it won't be easy for Beiliang to find someone to kill Li Chang'an.
Seeing that Li Chang'an agreed so easily, Wang Linquan couldn't help but feel contempt.
It seems this Tang emperor is still young.
He smiled broadly and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, Lan'er will be waiting for you in your room tonight."
However, Li Chang'an's next words instantly froze Wang Linquan's smile!
"I've heard that your daughter is both beautiful and talented, why don't you come together..."
Wang Linquan plopped down on the ground, waving his hands incessantly.
"Your Highness is too kind! My daughter is not yet of marriageable age!"
Fortunately, Li Chang'an was just bluffing him and didn't take it seriously.
into the night.
A melodious piano tune drifted in, like heavenly music, plaintive and sorrowful.
Li Chang'an stood at the door of the room, listening to Pei Nanwei playing the zither inside.
Gu Dazu hid far away in a corner, with only Qingniao waiting at the door.
"Your Highness, the room has been checked."
"I've also investigated that woman."
In front of outsiders, Qingniao always acts very businesslike.
Li Chang'an said in a low voice, "Good Qingniao, you're not jealous, are you?"
Qingniao's face flushed slightly, her clear eyes filled with resentment. "Your Highness is joking. If I get jealous, I'm afraid I'll die of jealousy in the future."
Li Chang'an said, "Just let Elder Gu stay here."
"Go and arrange for the Embroidered Uniform Guard to thoroughly investigate Wang Linquan, and while you're at it, find out what's going on in Xiangfan City."
Pei Nanwei was an immigrant from Western Shu, and his approach to Prince Jing'an and his son was for ulterior motives.
This woman is likely connected to the restoration organization of Western Shu.
Li Chang'an needed to get these things out of Pei Nanwei.
To maximize their benefits, the Qingzhou delegation needs to clarify these matters.
Li Chang'an and Beiliang are mortal enemies, and Wang Linquan clearly harbors ill intentions as well.
He never hesitated to take action against anyone who dared to scheme against Li Chang'an.
The fate of Wang Linquan serves as a precedent for that of Zhao Yutai and Wang Ying.
What's more, this guy is so rich!
The bluebird obeyed and left, and Li Chang'an entered the room without any hesitation.
A graceful figure stood up from behind the guqin.
Her features were exquisite, her face as beautiful as a flower, and her smile was radiant.
The stunningly beautiful Pei Nanwei bowed respectfully with her robes drawn.
"I am Pei Nanwei, and I will serve Your Highness tonight."
Pei Nanwei's pretty face was flushed, and her smile was charming.
Li Chang'an sat down at the round table. "So, Miss Lan'er is actually Pei Nanwei, the most beautiful woman in Qingzhou."
Pei Nanwei approached gracefully, carrying a faint, intoxicating fragrance.
She poured Li Chang'an a full glass of wine and brought it to his lips.
Li Chang'an held the wine glass in one hand and pulled Pei Nanwei into his arms with the other.
A hint of surprise flashed in Pei Nanwei's eyes, and her body visibly trembled.
Li Chang'an was indeed incredibly audacious, pulling the prospective Princess Jing'an into his arms.
Soon, Pei Nanwei put on a captivating smile again.
"Your Highness is truly a young hero. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Li Chang'an slowly poured the wine from his cup, the clear liquid flowing down Pei Nanwei's fair collarbone.
A strange, tingling sensation spread throughout Pei Nanwei's body.
Li Chang'an said, "Miss, there's no need to dodge. If you're not afraid of getting drunk, why should I be afraid of getting into trouble?"
A hint of shyness flashed in Pei Nanwei's eyes, then she parted her red lips slightly and drank the wine.
After finishing her drink, Pei Nanwei wrapped her arms around Li Chang'an's neck.
A beautiful woman is in my arms, her fragrance wafting through the air, and I can smell her breath.
A heart-stopping wave was already pressing against Li Chang'an's chest.
Pei Nanwei looked down at her body; large parts of her delicate skin were soaked with wine.
The beauty's smile was still captivating, and her red lips parted slightly as she whispered sweet nothings.
"So, this is how Your Highness enjoys drinking..."

Chapter 197 I am not the bed armor, Your Highness is! (13)
Li Chang'an thought that Pei Nanwei would shout for help at this moment.
Then the news that Li Chang'an had forcibly taken the prospective Princess Jing'an would spread throughout Qingzhou.
At that point, Wang Linquan's goal of sowing discord between Li Chang'an and Zhao Heng would be achieved.
However, Pei Nanwei did not call for help.
"I, Pei Nanwei, offer myself as your bedmate, and hope that Your Highness will not reject me."
Li Chang'an could feel Pei Nanwei's rapid heartbeat.
Pei Nanwei murmured softly, "Please, Your Highness, have mercy..."
Upon hearing Pei Nanwei's barely audible request, Li Chang'an suddenly smiled.
"What's there to pity about a bed frame from spring and autumn!"
Pei Nanwei, who was shy and timid in his arms, suddenly opened her eyes.
Her beautiful eyes first showed surprise, then filled with embarrassment, annoyance, and resentment.
The Thirteen Jia of Spring and Autumn Period did not include Bed Jia, but the meaning of Bed Jia is not hard to guess.
The woman couldn't help but punch Li Chang'an in the chest with her small fist.
"Your Highness, please don't tease me. I am a virgin!"
"How could it be... a bed armor!"
Li Chang'an said, "If I say you are, then you must be."
Outside the small courtyard where Li Chang'an lived, Wang Linquan paced back and forth anxiously.
The entrance to the courtyard was already firmly guarded by the Imperial Guards.
It was late at night, and things had already gone awry from his plan.
His plan was that Pei Nanwei would call for help shortly after Li Chang'an entered the room.
Then the matter of Li Chang'an forcing Pei Nanwei to serve him in bed can become a big deal!
This kind of thing always ends up like mud falling down your pants.
Even if it's not shit, it's still shit.
