What happened next left the eldest prince speechless and Lu Zheng bored.
And sure enough, Queen Yunhai was right. It was the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince who orchestrated this whole thing. The Fifth Prince, despite being innocent, was easily swayed by Queen Yunhai's words and exposed his true colors.
In other words, the forces behind the mothers of the third and fifth princes, who died, joined forces not to strengthen the Yunhai tribe, but because they saw the fate of the second and sixth princes and felt a sense of shared sorrow, so they wanted to kill the Yunhai Queen and the eldest prince and the seventh princess.
The Seventh Princess was indeed kidnapped by people from Liangjing Kingdom. The Fourth Prince's birth mother's family was from a tribe relatively close to Liangjing Kingdom. This was all a conspiracy between the Fourth Prince, his birth mother, that tribe, and Liangjing Kingdom.
As for whether or not the Kingdom of Goz existed, neither the fourth prince nor his birth mother knew.
Lu Zheng thought this act was too low-class, really.
See how Consort Lin and her father, Prime Minister Lin, wielded immense power in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace! The Emperor even acknowledged them for over a decade!
A ruler who eliminates the treacherous minister Lin while ensuring the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty is truly a worthy ruler.
Even if someone like Yunhai Wang were to actually join forces with Langge Kingdom to defeat the Great Zhou, Yunhai Wang would merely be a stepping stone for Langge Kingdom.
Lu Zheng suddenly realized that here, he didn't need to rack his brains; he could really cause trouble using the same methods he used to deal with his stepmother back then. He didn't need to treat these people as cunning old ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, the more this is the case, the more attention should be paid to their troop strength.
Sometimes, all schemes and tricks are no match for absolute power.
Not only must we defeat the leader of the Yunhai King family, but we must also gradually dismantle the Yunhai King's army.
This way, the Quicksand Kingdom can be given enough time.
...
As a result of the Seventh Princess's capture, the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Princes, along with their birth mothers, were all imprisoned. The Eldest Prince led troops to conquer Goz, while Queen Yunhai personally led a group of people in disguise to Liangjing Kingdom.
Unfortunately, Lu Zheng was the one chosen.
When Lu Zheng returned to the Seventh Princess's residence from the palace, he was unaware that he had been chosen. In his mind, his persona was that of a weak and helpless steward.
But when he returned to the house, the blond-haired steward soon came running over to claim credit.
The yellow-haired steward praised Queen Yunhai to the skies and told Lu Zheng that going out on business with Queen Yunhai would definitely bring benefits upon his return.
Lu Zheng asked him indirectly, "If there's a benefit, why aren't you going?" Of course, his original words were, "Why would a lowly person like me bother to take care of things for you?"
The yellow-haired steward said that he didn't want to either, but he wanted to be the head steward of the Seventh Princess's residence. The current head steward would go to Liangjing with Queen Yunhai.
The blond-haired steward gave Lu Zheng a task: during the rescue of the Seventh Princess, if possible, to kill the head steward.
When Lu Zheng returns, he will be promoted to head steward, and Lu Zheng will definitely be made the second steward.
Lu Zheng agreed with a look of anticipation and thanked him repeatedly. The blond-haired manager left satisfied.
Lu Zheng lay on the bed. Was he really going to kill the head steward? It would be better to just kill Queen Yunhai and the Seventh Princess.
Don't underestimate these two women; they are absolutely two invaluable generals.
Queen Yunhai originally went to Liangjing Kingdom in disguise and didn't bring many people with her. He could use some means to get one of Bai Er's group to join the team. Then, the two of them would be more confident.
