Following Li Huan's instructions, Wei Xiaobao and Duolong acted swiftly.
Princess Jianning asked, "Is this plan feasible?"
Li Huan laughed and said, "Given Wu Sangui's temper and personality, we must have enraged him so much that he would order Feng Xifan to immediately raise an army in rebellion and attack the capital!"
Princess Jianning said, "What if Wu Sangui suppresses his anger and doesn't rebel?"
Li Huan said, "If Wu Sangui doesn't rebel, I still have a backup plan to deal with him!"
Princess Jianning picked up the dagger on the table and hid it in her sleeve.
"Regardless of whether Wu Sangui rebels or not, I will castrate Wu Yingxiong!"
Li Huan said to Long'er, "Da Shuang'er and Xiao Shuang'er have already made preparations on the street as I instructed, leading Wei Xiaobao and Duolong into the Prince of Pingxi's mansion, where they will meet Wu Sangui."
"Long'er, keep a close watch in secret and intervene when necessary to ensure that Wei Xiaobao and Duolong arrive at the Prince of Pingxi's residence safely, so as to avoid any mishaps!"
Long'er obeyed and left the inn.
...
Li Huan and Princess Jianning drank tea and chatted.
After waiting for a while, Li Huan estimated that it was about time, so he drove the electric tricycle and set off with Princess Jianning.
Arrived at the Prince of Pingxi's Mansion.
Li Huan got out of the car and looked around.
Not far away, standing beside a large tree, stood Long'er.
She waved her folding fan and nodded to Li Huan.
Li Huan understood that everything was progressing normally; Wei Xiaobao and Duolong had entered the Prince of Pingxi's mansion and had given Wu Sangui a sound beating.
Li Huan picked up the imperial sword bestowed upon him and led Princess Jianning into the palace.
Suddenly, shouts rang out from inside the hall.
"Beat them! Beat them hard! Beat them so badly their own parents won't recognize them!"
As soon as Li Huan entered the hall, he saw Wu Sangui roaring angrily.
His eyes were bruised, his nose was swollen and red, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, his official robes were torn, and his official hat was askew.
Numerous servants were besieging Wei Xiaobao and Duolong, and the fight was going very well.
Li Huan hurriedly called out, "The princess has arrived!"
Wu Sangui was startled and quickly straightened his official robes and hat.
The servants immediately stopped beating the victim and all stepped aside.
Wei Xiaobao and Duolong were beaten black and blue, and their clothes barely covered their bodies.
Wu Sangui hurriedly bowed and said, "Your humble servant was unaware of the princess's arrival and has failed to greet you properly. I hope the princess will forgive me!"
Princess Jianning introduced, "This is Lord Li, the Imperial Envoy!"
Wu Sangui continued to bow: "Greetings, Lord Li!"
Princess Jianning said with a smile, "The Prince's residence is quite lively!"
Li Huan deliberately said, "Your Highness, your eyes and mouth are swollen. Who hit you?"
Wu Sangui pointed at Wei Xiaobao and Duolong and said angrily, "Your Majesty, I was reading in my study when I heard someone shouting traitorous slogans in the courtyard. When I went out to see what was going on, I found these two bastards!"
"Not only did they shout traitorous slogans, but they also took off their clothes, revealing the writing on their backs, which was even more treasonous!"
Li Huan asked, "What treasonous text?"
Wu Sangui pointed at Wei Xiaobao and Duolong: "Please, Lord Li and the Princess, take a look yourself."
Li Huan beckoned Wei Xiaobao and Duolong over, revealing their backs.
On Wei Xiaobao's back was written "Wu Sangui is a pig," and on Duolong's back was written "I swear to kill Wu Sangui!"
Li Huan flicked his wrist, took out some ointment from his sleeve, and quickly wiped away the writing on Wei Xiaobao and Duolong's backs.
"There are no treasonous words here, only marks from punches and kicks. Your Highness, are you seeing things?"
Princess Jianning also chimed in, saying in a cooperative tone, "There are indeed no words! Your Highness, your eyes are injured, you must be seeing things."
Upon hearing this, Wu Sangui came over to investigate and indeed found no writing at all.
"What... what's going on? There were definitely writings on their backs before..."
Wu Sangui was astonished and stammered.
Li Huan said, "Your Highness, either your eyes are injured or your eyesight is failing. Neither the princess nor I saw any writing! Your Highness, do you know who these two people are?"
Wu Sangui said, "The two of them broke into the Prince's mansion, shouting 'rebel' slogans. They must be traitors from the Heaven and Earth Society!"
Li Huan said, "Your Highness, this is Wei Xiaobao, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Kitchen and an undercover agent close to the Emperor! This is Duolongduo, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Guards!"
"What?" Wu Sangui was shocked again.
Princess Jianning said, "Your Highness, not only are your eyes not working well, but your head is also muddled. These two officials were ordered by the Emperor to assist Lord Li in escorting me to Pingxi Prefecture. How did they become traitors in Your Highness's words?"
Wu Sangui was stunned: "I...I..."
Li Huan said, "Your Highness, you've probably been reading in your study until your head is spinning. Just as the princess said, Your Highness has become confused, hasn't he?"
Wu Sangui was speechless.
Princess Jianning said, "Your Highness, you not only slandered Lord Wei and Lord Duo, but also beat them to a pulp. If they use Lord Li's imperial sword against Your Highness, wouldn't Your Highness's life be in danger?"
Wei Xiaobao and Duolong's eyes lit up as they looked at the sword in Li Huan's hand.
Wu Sangui then took a few steps back.
Wei Xiaobao took the initiative, snatched the imperial sword from Li Huan's hand, and pointed it at Wu Sangui!
"Wu Sangui! You beat up a high-ranking official of the imperial court, I will use the imperial sword bestowed upon me by the Emperor to cut off your dog's head!"
After cursing, Wei Xiaobao swung his sword and stabbed at Wu Sangui!
Doron joined in the cursing: "Cut off his dog's head! You bastard, how dare you hit me!"
Wu Sangui trembled with fear and hurriedly dodged, avoiding the sharp sword thrust at him!
