Princess Lingyu's face twisted slightly as she gritted her teeth and tore the letter to shreds bit by bit.
The letter was thin, but she threw it into the stove with what seemed like immense force.
"This is outrageous and goes too far. Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Ye Li said, "I have a feeling that the disappearance of Princess Zhenguo and the Second Prince Pei is probably hiding something."
Princess Lingyu thought for a moment, then snorted coldly: "What tricks could they possibly have up their sleeves? They're just trying to avoid me, leaving me hanging like this, waiting for me to give up. How could I possibly let them have their way?"
From childhood to adulthood, there was nothing she couldn't do if she wanted to do it, and nothing she couldn't get if she wanted to get it.
She was showered with love and admiration by the entire Dongfu Kingdom, and she could not accept such disregard and cold treatment.
Once the warships of Dongfu arrive, the eastern coast will be under pressure, and the emperor will have no choice but to beg her.
“I also want to go to the east coast,” Ling Yu said. “There are a thousand warships. I want to see with my own eyes the panic and helplessness of the Daze Kingdom’s naval headquarters.”
Princess Lingyu went to see the Emperor, only saying that she wanted to go to the east coast to stroll around and admire the scenery of the Great Swamp Kingdom.
"A round trip can be made in a day. Princess Lingyu can go, as long as she is safe. Alternatively, I can send a team to protect Princess Lingyu."
"That won't be necessary. I have my own people with me, so there's no need to worry about any danger," Ling Yu said.
After Princess Lingyu withdrew, the emperor's expression became complicated.
He had just received a message by carrier pigeon, saying that the Eastern Fu Kingdom had dispatched a large fleet of warships heading towards the east coast, with an estimated number of up to a thousand ships.
Such a massive number is unprecedented.
In order to get revenge, Princess Lingyu was willing to disregard the consequences and dared to provoke others even while in the Great Swamp Kingdom.
The emperor pondered. The Princess Zhenguo was on the east coast. Although she had arrived earlier, it would be difficult to achieve such a breakthrough in the navy within just two or three days, thus withstanding the pressure from the thousand warships of the Eastern Fu Kingdom.
Princess Lingyu's actions were mainly intended to warn the Great Swamp Kingdom and force it to agree. However, he had already promised Lian'er that he would never make any concessions. If a real war broke out, how would it end?
The emperor was not in a good mood.
A thousand warships could probably raze that vast area of the east coast to the ground.
He said, "Draft an edict to have General Pei of Tianhe Prefecture lead his troops to the Eastern Naval Headquarters to support Princess Zhenguo. Also, send 10,000 elite cavalry from Qingfeng Plain to arrive as quickly as possible. Then, have General Guan lead 10,000 city defense troops to join the defense."
These are all people the Princess Zhenguo knows well, her relatives, and the ones who listen to her the most. In an emergency, using subordinates with high obedience can achieve the greatest combat efficiency.
Eunuch Qi drafted the imperial edict and distributed it to several eunuchs to deliver.
The emperor remained troubled. The navy was not truly formidable. Using these inland troops was merely a means to defend and counterattack after the enemy landed. If the enemy remained at sea and their cannons had a short range, there was nothing that could be done.
Moreover, the Inner Army cannot easily board the ship because without prior training, they are prone to dizziness, putting them at a disadvantage and potentially causing greater personnel losses.
The emperor sighed with deep worry.
"Lian'er, I wonder if you can help the Great Swamp Kingdom overcome this crisis."
Even the emperor, who had witnessed Qiao Lian'er's countless previous successes, was not very confident this time.
The emperor muttered to himself, "If Lian'er can do it, I'd give him more than just one fiefdom, I'd give him an extra one."
