"Your Majesty, during my interrogation of Jin Feng, I learned that Wei Jingzhong had visited the princess's residence before his coup and had a major argument with her."
Gu Shaoyu subtly applied eye drops, saying, "It's said that the two parted on bad terms, with Wei Jingzhong saying he misjudged her and shouldn't have entrusted his life and fortune to Princess Yurong."
Emperor Hui breathed a slight sigh of relief: "All of Yu Rong's supplies belong to Wei Jingzhong? She refuses to return them to Wei Jingzhong?"
"yes."
"Ha, this is what happens when the hawk-handler gets pecked blind. Wei Jingzhong has been shrewd his whole life, but he forgot that Yu Rong's surname is Zhou."

"That bastard!" Emperor Hui was furious.
He thought Princess Yu Rong was still clear-headed when it came to matters of principle, but he didn't expect her to be even more ambitious and actually want to ascend the throne and become an empress!

By raiding the homes of these few people, we can supply the army with provisions for several months.
Raiding the enemy's territory to support our own army—what a brilliant deal!
