Li Shan secretly observed the Third Prince's expression, and the corners of her mouth slightly lifted. Very good, keep thinking, think deeper.
Li Shan wouldn't dare to offer any more advice. It would be better for her to let the Third Prince figure it out himself, since what she said might not be as serious as the Third Prince himself thought!
The Third Prince didn't stay with Li Shan for long before leaving to find his advisors.
After he discussed countermeasures with his advisors, everything they said was presented to the emperor.
After reading it, the Emperor smiled, summoned the Dragon Guards, and ordered, "Go, spread the word about everything the Rongguo Duke's Mansion has done over the years, and reveal to the Third Prince that Consort Li sent people to kill the Jin family in the suburbs. Also, personally send Miss Jin Yingying from Kuncheng to the Empress's side, and let her return to the capital with the Empress!"
The Dragon Guards went down after receiving the order.
In the capital, there is no one the emperor cannot control. Even when Prince Qu wanted to cause trouble, he didn't dare to do so in the capital. The Third Prince and Li Shan are still too inexperienced.

In Langge Kingdom, Peng Mu and Yun Hai's General Yun Na led their army in a battle against the Great Zhou army led by Peng Erlang.
This time, Peng Erlang didn't use the same weapons that destroyed the walls of Dongyao City. He truly fought head-on, leading his soldiers to make the people of Langge realize that the Great Zhou army was completely different from the past.
Even if you bring in reinforcements from the west, even if they are tall and strong, even if they are extremely ferocious, the soldiers of my Great Zhou are not to be trifled with.
The war raged for half a month, and Peng Mu and his men were defeated and returned home.
After Peng Mu returned to the palace and was reprimanded by King Lange, he heard an unbelievable piece of news: Gu Yingxue had vanished into thin air in the area guarded by the guards, and they had been searching for her for a whole day without finding her.
Peng Mu, who was slightly injured this time, finally realized something was wrong: "Father, is there a spy from the Great Zhou in our palace? Otherwise, why did Gu Yingxue escape so easily?"
King Lang did not speak, but only gave Peng Mu a deep look.
Peng Mu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xiao Yu had betrayed him again? No, no, Xiao Yu had never even entered the Langge Palace. How could she be involved in Gu Yingxue's disappearance?
Lang said, "You're in charge of this. Within three days, turn the place upside down and find them. Especially that woman who betrayed you—find her thoroughly!"
Peng Mu knelt down gratefully: "Yes, Father. Your son will search carefully."
He was grateful that King Lange hadn't directly ordered a search, thus saving him face.
King Lang sighed: "Take care of her while you're at it. We've suffered a defeat, and if we don't flee, we might be killed by the Great Zhou. General Yunna met Cheng Huaiyu before, and she's the type that King Yunhai likes. In the West, whether a woman has been married or not is not important. So, my son, if it really comes to that, I don't want you to be sentimental anymore, understand?"
Peng Mu kowtowed heavily: "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
King Lang nodded and continued, "The eldest prince of Yunhai is in trouble. The situation in the west is quite chaotic right now. If General Yun's army can't help us, we'll have to pack up and head west first. We'll recuperate and rebuild our strength, and then we'll fight back another day. Mu'er, I may not live to see that day, but you must do it, understand?"
