This isn't the first time Princess Lingyu has resorted to underhanded tactics. If she can't win in a fair fight, can't she at least use dirty tricks behind the scenes?
Two years ago, she secretly eliminated the talented noblewoman who posed a threat to her.
Otherwise, if he were alive today, he would probably steal a lot of her thunder.
Yeli directed the planting of explosives.
Princess Lingyu stood to one side, a cold glint in her eyes.
Will Qiao Lian'er be blown in two, or blown to pieces?
It would be better if he were crippled; he could live a life worse than death for the rest of his life.
This was the first time Ling Yu had so many dark thoughts. She had never reacted so strongly when facing that genius girl before.
"Princess, the Second Young Master Pei is with the Princess Zhenguo. What if the Second Young Master Pei is also blown up?" Yeli thought of this.
"So what if it's blown up? Do you think I really like him? Do you really think I can't live without him? I just want to beat Qiao Lian'er. I showed him affection, but he ignored me and was indifferent. Even if someone like that becomes my husband, he won't be truly good to me."
Once the explosives were planted, Lingyu left some people here so that if anyone else passed by, they could take another route.
Qiao Lian'er sat on the cliff again and looked at the sea for a while.
At this time, the sea was littered with the wreckage of many ships and the corpses of many enemy soldiers.
The navy of Daze Kingdom is busy cleaning the sea surface.
Having suffered such a crushing defeat and incurred such heavy losses, the Eastern Fu Kingdom will likely need to restrain itself for quite some time.
When she left the Naval Headquarters, she rode for a distance before abandoning her horse and heading straight to the capital.
I've already spoken with Governor Yan; she'll come again later to check on the improvements and construction of the cannons and ships.
Governor Yan was naturally very pleased.
Therefore, Princess Lingyu's men guarded the location where the explosives were planted, waiting all night and all day, but they did not see Qiao Lian'er pass by.
When they saw other passersby, they told them to go around them. They had no choice but to explain that there were explosives buried there, and they were scolded as if they were crazy.
Could it be that Qiao Lian'er hasn't returned to the capital yet?
Two of these people then went to the naval headquarters to gather information and learned that Qiao Lian'er had already left.
That's really strange, since this is an essential route.
They had no choice but to return to the capital.
Lingyu was also waiting for good news, but after waiting for so long, there was still no news.
When she saw that the person who had returned was looking dejected, she immediately had a bad feeling.
"It didn't work out?"
The subordinate sighed: "Princess Zhenguo must have taken another route back to the capital."
"How could that be? Taking another route would mean going a long detour. Are you just being lazy and negligent?"
Princess Lingyu's heart sank when she learned that Qiao Lian'er was not dead.
“Absolutely not, Princess. We didn’t close our eyes for a whole night and day, we just kept staring at that stretch of road.”
"Could she have predicted it in advance? That's impossible." Ling Yu was completely baffled.
Then someone came to the embassy to report: "Princess, we know the whereabouts of Princess Zhenguo. Princess Zhenguo's older sister, Qiao Zhizhi, married into the Lin family of the Duke of Yuhua's mansion. She is about to give birth and is giving birth today. The Qiao family has all rushed over, and Princess Zhenguo is also there."
So, Qiao Lian'er had already returned, and Princess Lingyu suddenly felt like she had been tricked.
