Fearing being killed for his overwhelming merits, the empress decided to marry him.

"Then I shall respectfully comply. I will temporarily entrust the extinguishing fire to you, Prince Wanyan, please rest assured."

After putting away the Unextinguishable Flame, Shen Lang immediately changed the subject.

"Since your country intends to return north, how about you do me a favor?"

Wanyan Wo came to his senses and said, "Please speak, Duke Zhenguo. Giving you face is a matter of honor for the entire Jin Dynasty."

Shen Lang smiled and told Wan Yanwo what was on his mind.

After listening, Wanyan Wo was somewhat puzzled: "Duke Zhenguo, I understand the reasoning, but why give this credit to that Ye fellow?"

Shen Lang shook his head: "Don't ask anymore. When you meet the new emperor tomorrow, just do as I say."

Wanyan Wo smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Duke Zhenguo, I know what to do."

The following morning, in the main hall of Bianliang Palace, the court session was held.

"Hey, you're the new emperor of the Song Dynasty, right? You haven't fulfilled any of the conditions your father promised to our Great Jin Dynasty. What are you thinking, new emperor? Give me an answer right now!"

Wanyan Wo's arrogant and rude attitude in the main hall had already frightened Zhao Huan so much that he dared not utter a sound.

The other ministers were also angry but dared not speak out.

Only Shen Lang and his companions, seated at the envoy's table, remained calm, as if everything was none of their concern.

Seeing that no one dared to speak, Wanyan Wo became even more arrogant.

"Hmph, look at you all, a foolish ruler and incompetent ministers, not a single one of you is any good."

"A flock of sheep that call themselves sick wolves, after pretending to be wolves for so long, have they lost their true nature?"

"Quickly send over the land, reparations, women, and slaves that were promised to our Jin Kingdom."

"Otherwise, once my Great Jin cavalry has trampled through your Bianzhou Prefecture, what I'll want is exactly what's stated in the contract. Do you understand?"

Wanyan Wo was shouting and yelling at the entire court of emperors and ministers inside the palace.

Unable to bear it any longer, Zhou Xianwu stepped forward from the crowd and coldly replied, "Prince Wanyan, this is the court of my Great Song Dynasty. Your arrogant attitude is going too far!"

Wanyan Wo glanced at Zhou Xianwu and snorted coldly: "Finally, someone who can speak up. Hey, what's your name? I think I know you."

You're that... that... right, Zhou Xianwu, right? Hahaha..."

Upon recognizing the person before him, Wanyan Wo couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Xianwu felt a chill run down his spine from the laughter and couldn't help but ask, "Why is Prince Wanyan laughing?"

Wanyan Wo: "Everyone says that your Great Song Dynasty always talks about etiquette and the way of the king, but what are you actually doing?"

"Zhou Xianwu, I've heard of you. Did you take advantage of your brother's sudden death to seduce his wife? Is that true?"

These words immediately filled the hall with the smell of gossip.

Even Shen Lang found it hard to believe that Zhou Xianwu, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was that kind of person.

However, considering that someone like Ye Mo had once had an affair with his second daughter-in-law, he wasn't surprised at all.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianwu immediately flew into a rage: "What nonsense are you spouting? How could I possibly do something so despicable? Stop making trouble here!"

"Is this king being unreasonable? Hmph."

Wanyan Wo smiled and looked Zhou Xianwu up and down.

“I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Several times I’ve seen you go into your brother and sister-in-law’s courtyard and stay there until the middle of the night. What do you think you two, a man and a woman, were doing together for so long?”

Whispers immediately broke out inside the hall.

"Now that Wanyan Wo has mentioned it, I think I've also seen Lord Zhou visit his brother and sister-in-law's house from time to time."

"Lord Zhou values ​​etiquette and moral education the most, so how could he do such a thing? He must have just gone to visit someone."

"Visiting until late at night? Visiting requires sneaking around. In my opinion, what this Jurchen said might not be wrong. Some people are just hypocrites, sanctimonious in disguise."

Inside the hall, everyone was talking at once, but their attention was focused on Zhou Xianwu and his deceased brother's sister-in-law.

Zhou Xianwu trembled with fear and pointed at Wanyan Wo, shouting, "You Jurchen are extremely rude! I was entrusted by my deceased brother to take good care of my sister-in-law. How could I be so despicable as you think!"

"Hmph, you know perfectly well whether it's despicable or not!"

Wanyan Wo waved his hand and looked at Zhao Huan again.

"Your Majesty, give me a straight answer right now! What kind of explanation do you expect for your treachery?"

Zhao Huan tried his best not to let his trembling body show in front of everyone, swallowed hard, and mustered his courage to speak.

"Your Excellency, it was all caused by a few treacherous officials in the court who harbored malicious intentions and sabotaged the peace between the Song and Jin dynasties."

"With your esteemed envoy here today, I will punish and dismiss these treacherous officials right here in the palace. I wonder if this will appease the Jin Kingdom?"

"Humph!"

Wanyan snorted coldly, sat back in his seat, picked up his tea and drank it by himself.

Zhao Huan immediately shouted, "Bring them all up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Yuanchang, Tong Daofu, Gao Wei, and more than a dozen other favorite ministers from the reign of Emperor Huizong were led into the hall by guards, their faces ashen.

"Your Majesty, spare my life!"

Cai Yuanchang, with his hair disheveled, immediately burst into tears upon seeing Zhao Huan.

"Please, in consideration of my years of service, even if I have not achieved great merit, spare my life!"

His shout caused the others to cry out as well.

Zhao Huan slammed his hand on the imperial desk: "You treacherous officials, you have secretly undermined the treaty between the Song and Jin dynasties, causing immense suffering to the people of the Song Dynasty!"

If I continue to keep you, the court and the public will criticize me for misjudging people. If I don't punish you, it will be difficult to appease public anger and give the people an explanation!

"Guards, strip them of all official positions, demote them to commoners immediately, and banish them from the capital for life."

Upon hearing the punishment, Cai Yuanchang and the others were secretly pleased, at least their lives were spared.

But they still had to pretend to have suffered a great injustice and cry loudly for mercy.

Wanyan Wo watched this with indifference, his eyes filled with disdain.

Shen Lang remained expressionless, finding the lenient punishment utterly absurd.

However, the Song Dynasty treated aristocratic officials with great favor. As long as they did not commit treason, they would not be in danger of losing their lives no matter what they did.

Amidst wails, Cai Yuanchang and his companions were driven out of the palace gates.

After dealing with these matters, Zhao Huan turned to Wanyan Wo with a fawning expression and asked, "Your Excellency, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Wanyan Wo snorted coldly and remained silent.

At this moment, Ye Fan finally stood up, pointed at Wanyan Wo, and said, "The Jin envoy is far too arrogant. The Song Emperor has already dealt with the offender in person."

"This can be considered a satisfactory explanation to your Jin Kingdom, so why continue to ignore it?"

Wanyan Wo glanced at Ye Fan and knew that this guy must be the Ye Fan that Shen Lang was talking about.

However, it must be said that Ye Fan, with her red lips, white teeth, and delicate features, does indeed possess a certain alluring beauty.

"If Seventh Brother Wanyan Guang were here, he would surely sing a song called 'The Song of the Rear Courtyard' with Ye Fan, wouldn't he?"

The thought of his seventh brother, Wanyan Guang, who was fond of men, sent a chill down Wanyan Wo’s spine.

"How about we find an opportunity to take Ye Fan to the Jin Kingdom? Hmm, Seventh Brother would be overjoyed..."
