Although Yuelin has no tradition of appointing a crown prince, the throne is usually inherited by the eldest prince, which is something that almost everyone agrees on.
"Then are you willing, Prince? When the eldest prince takes the throne, will you still have a chance to survive?"
Ruan Hezhu continued to say that during the few months she had been with Asinwei, she had already known what he was thinking.
In fact, he really wanted to be the king, but due to his status and the king's preference for the eldest prince, he buried this thought in his heart. Now she wants to reveal the truest side of his heart.
Hearing her words, Asinwei was indeed a little shaken. "What do you mean? You want me to take action against the eldest prince?"
"More than that." Ruan Hezhu lowered his voice, "They attacked the king and the eldest prince together."
"That's my father and brother."
Those were his flesh and blood. Although he was warlike, he had never thought of attacking his relatives.
Ruan Hezhu scoffed at the affection in his heart, "Those who seek great things don't care about small details. If you don't take action against them, they will take action against you in the future."
"Prince, if you want to ascend to a high position, you must give up certain things. Throughout history, more than one person has killed his father and brother for the throne. You are not the first, and you will not be the last."
"People only see your success and don't care what you did behind it. As long as you can bring happiness to the people in the future, you will be a good king in their hearts."
"Also, Prince, don't you want to avenge today's vengeance? If you accept your fate, then this vengeance will never be avenged."
If the previous words had already shaken Asinwei's heart, then the latter words made him lean towards the idea.
If he were to remain an ordinary prince in the future, this failure would be forever branded on him.
As a general, he could never admit defeat.
"But the total number of troops we have now is only a few tens of thousands. We are no match for the capital's defenders."
"Prince, have you forgotten that we have bombs? I have checked and those bombs were destroyed by someone pouring water on them. There is nothing wrong with our bombs themselves."
Ruan Hezhu was furious when she thought that the bomb she was so proud of was destroyed.
"We'll make some more now and bring them to the capital. If there are any soldiers resisting, we can suppress them with bombs."
Asinwei was in deep thought, seemingly thinking about the feasibility of Ruan Hezhu's plan.
Just as Ruan Hezhu was about to continue persuading, a soldier walked in.
"Prince, I have something to report."
"explain."
When the soldier heard the order, he did not speak, but looked at Ruan Hezhu beside him.
Ruan Hezhu was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Then I'll go out for a walk first."
After she left, the soldier continued.
"Prince, I want to expose Miss Ruan. She is a spy for the Yuan Dynasty."
"Spy?" Asinwei frowned. "What evidence?"
"I have no evidence." The soldier lowered his head. "I learned this from overhearing a conversation between the Yuan female generals while in Yongcheng."
Asinwei looked at the soldiers kneeling below. These were his confidants who had accompanied him in battles for many years and would certainly not lie to him.
He spoke slowly, "What did they say?"
"They said that Miss Ruan has always admired the Crown Prince of the Yuan Dynasty, but due to her humble status, she could not become the Crown Princess. She deliberately approached Your Highness in order to be with the Crown Prince."
"The Crown Prince of the Great Yuan Dynasty promised her that as long as she could conquer the Yuelin Kingdom, she would be allowed to enter the palace as a concubine."
"But she is already an unclean woman. How could the Crown Prince of the Yuan Dynasty still want her?"
Asinwei knew that the Yuan Dynasty valued a woman's chastity the most. Once she lost it, even ordinary people would not marry her.
"When I first heard this, I thought it was ridiculous, but what they said next confirmed their statement."
The soldier continued, "She said that Miss Ruan deliberately lured you into kidnapping the Northern Wei Crown Prince in order to turn the Northern Wei and Yue Lin against each other. Later, she was the one who let the Northern Wei Crown Prince go."
"It really is her."
Asin stood up fiercely. The escape of the Northern Wei prince was too strange, and he still couldn't figure out what happened.
He suspected Ruan Hezhu at that time. After all, she was the only one who had access to his personal key, and there were only the two of them in the room at that time.
Apart from her, he couldn't think of anyone else.
If Ruan Hezhu and the spy worked together to let the Northern Wei prince go, everything would be explainable.
"And those bombs never work at critical moments. Miss Ruan already told the Yuan soldiers how to deal with them. It's not divine protection at all, but they have ways to prevent the bombs from exploding."
"The bomb used against the Northern Wei later was also destroyed by Miss Ruan herself."
"That's outrageous."
Asinwi was furious. He had completely believed what the soldier said.
Because of these words, he finally understood everything that he hadn't understood before.
Jiang Weizhen knew about his night attack in advance and took precautions. It was Ruan Hezhu who proposed the night attack. No wonder his 500,000-strong army could not break into Yonglu Pass.
It turns out that this was all a trap set by them.
When he wanted to cut his losses in time and withdraw his troops back to Yuelin, Ruan Hezhu advised him to attack Northern Wei.
This was another bigger trap that led to the annihilation of his 500,000-strong army.
Seeing that he had escaped, Ruan Hezhu followed him and continued to ambush him.
It was obvious what she wanted to do.
Thinking about how he almost fell for her trick and rebelled, he broke out in a cold sweat.
If he had followed her advice, the Yuan army would have flattened the Yuelin Kingdom before the civil strife in their capital was over.
What a good plan! He was actually fooled by a woman.
"Good, good, that's great."
"Ruan Hezhu, no one has ever dared to tease this prince like this."
"Go out and call that bitch in."
"Yes." The soldier was relieved to see that Asinwei believed him. He was really afraid that his prince would be bewitched by a woman.
Fortunately, the prince is still wise and brave.
After he went out, he saw Ruan Hezhu standing not far away, talking to a guard.
He stepped forward and said sternly, "Miss Ruan, the prince asked you to come in."
Ruan Hezhu was shocked when she saw the contempt on his face. Because Asinwei favored her, all the Yuelin soldiers also respected her.
He rarely spoke to her like this, and remembering how he had just deliberately sent her away, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
She returned to the tent with trepidation, only to see that Asinwei had a gloomy face and a sinister expression as he looked at her.
