Chapter Ninety-Seven



"I hope so!"

He then asked, "What do you think of Princess Murong?"

He looked troubled and stammered, "Your subordinate..."

"Speak freely, and I will pardon you!"

"Princess Murong is stunningly beautiful and calm in the face of adversity, but I always feel that this is not her. Miss Qiu Kui is intelligent, quick-witted, and simple-minded, and always says surprising things!"

"You see everything clearly!"

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Send some people to keep an eye on Wangyue Pavilion. Report back in advance if there are any moves!"

Although he didn't understand why he needed to keep an eye on Wangyue Pavilion, he simply accepted the order without asking any further questions: "Yes!"

"The bodies of those Lan Yi people were found in the alley south of the city this morning!"

Ye Lisheng smiled coldly: "It seems someone intends to provoke a conflict between the two countries!"

"Your Highness, what makes you say that? They are just a few Lan Yi people!"

"What if someone uses this opportunity to say that Lingqi assassinated the people of Lanyi? What if someone else says that the Lanyi people infiltrated Lingqi to commit crimes?"

These words were like a wake-up call; Ling Ran quickly understood.

Then Ye Lisheng added, "I believe the court is in complete chaos right now!"

"Does Your Highness have a solution?"

Ye Lisheng shook his head: "Go next time and keep an eye on what's happening in the city!"

"yes!"

Just as I reached the door, I heard a cold voice behind me say, "The spring will be the time when Ling Shuang marries into Lan Yi!"

His body stiffened slightly, and a hint of restraint appeared in his eyes: "Your Highness, I understand!"

"I don't want you to know, but I order you to send Ling Shuang to Lan Yi for a marriage alliance!"

He gasped; nothing was more painful than watching the person you love marry someone else.

He endured the pain and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"

In the secret cave in the backyard of the Celestial Master's Mansion, moss climbed the stone walls, and the rhythmic dripping of water beat against the stones.

Looking inside, all I could see were withered flowers, their heads drooping.

Wangqiaochuan squatted among the withered flowers, his deep eyes scanning back and forth.

He muttered to himself, "This shouldn't be happening!"

Mo Sheng asked, "I remember Master saying that when a person dies, the flower's fragrance fades. Could this situation be...?"

"Impossible!" he firmly denied.

But he couldn't explain this scene: "What's the situation on the Prince of Anyang's side?"

"None of the people we sent out have found them!"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"Master, has something come to mind?"

"To find the answer, you have to try it; you'll know once you try!"

"How does Master want to test it?"

He gave a wicked smile and said, "Only you, my disciple, can do this!"

A young eunuch hurriedly presented a letter to the court.

Everyone's expression turned grave upon seeing this: "It's a letter from the Lan Yi!" It even bore the Lan Yi's unique serpent totem.

The eunuch, using a high-pitched voice, read the contents of the letter aloud: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince of Lan Yi has sent a letter saying that Ling Qi deliberately harmed the people of Lan Yi, and that Ling Qi must be given justice!"

Prime Minister Su stepped forward, filled with righteous indignation, and said, "Your Majesty, the Lan Yi are barbarians. How dare they infiltrate Lingqi and slander our Lingqi? This is a great disgrace. I beg Your Majesty to send troops to punish them!"

Nightfall's eagle eyes were like torches, as if they could see right through him, making Su Xiang's back feel a little uneasy.

Who should lead the troops?

Seeing him extend this olive branch, a sly smile of triumph rose in Prime Minister Su's heart: "Your Majesty, you have discerning eyes; you surely have a better candidate than I do."

"I believe that Prime Minister Su is both courageous and resourceful, making him the perfect candidate to lead the troops!"

Prime Minister Su was so frightened that a chill ran down his spine: "Serving the country is a subject's duty, but I am getting old, and my health has been declining recently, so I am afraid I am no longer able to shoulder such a great responsibility!" As he spoke, he began to cough.

Su Xiang's followers echoed, "Your Majesty, the person chosen to lead the troops must be someone as skilled in martial arts as the Prince of Anyang!"

Yes! Yes!

Minister Li of the Ministry of Revenue said, “Your Majesty, I believe we should not send troops. The Lan Yi have always maintained close ties with Lingqi, and there may be something fishy going on. Furthermore, Princess Ling Shuang is to be sent to Lan Yi for a marriage alliance in the spring!”
