"If I'm not mistaken, she was forced into this situation, after all, the Marquis of Zhenbei's army is already pressing in!"
"After Prince Kang captured her and brought her back, he found that she didn't have any other abilities, so he resorted to this desperate measure!"
"The Marquis of Zhenbei is probably also looking forward to seeing them make a fool of themselves!"
The Marquis of Zhenxi chuckled, then placed the thin piece of paper on the candle and watched it burn to ashes!
Let them fight! The fiercer the fight, the better!
"That way no one will pay attention to us! By the way, how's it going with the Marquis of Zhendong?"
"If all else fails, we'll take the divine artifact. I want to see just how much backbone he has!"
"And the Marquis of Zhennan!"
"We've all been on the border for so many years, we've had enough of the royal family's arrogance! The two of us have been in contact with each other privately!"
"As long as they're willing to cooperate with me!"
"If it succeeds, we'll grant them the title of kings of different surnames!"
"As long as I can bring those two into my camp, I don't care if they're goddesses or princes! They'll all have to obediently grovel at my feet!"
Lin Dali smiled obsequiously, "What the Marquis says is true! Oh! No! What His Majesty says is true!"
The Marquis of Zhenxi laughed and pointed at him, "You're really cunning! But if I become emperor, I'll actually make you a Grand General!"
Lin Dali: "Then I must thank Your Majesty in advance!"
The two men smiled at each other, as if they already had the world in their hands!
However, the Marquis of Zhenbei on the other side was already furious. He clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood inside his tent!
Seeing this, several people nearby quickly ran over, helped up the Marquis of Zhenbei, and hurriedly sent someone to fetch a doctor!
"My lord! What on earth has happened?"
Why are you vomiting blood?
"Has something happened to Miss?"
Marquis Zhenbei clutched his chest, raised his hand, and slammed it hard on the table, shattering it into pieces instantly!
"That Prince Jing deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces!"
"While I'm charging into battle, he's become emperor in the rear!"
"They used to be able to be called respectful! But now they don't even deserve that word anymore!"
"He actually spread the word that he's going to select a harem to recruit beauties!"
"I truly regret marrying my daughter to such a person."
"My poor daughter!"
"How could I be humiliated like this!"
Hearing this, the confidant of the Marquis of Zhenbei also showed resentment on his face!
"How could Prince Jing treat Miss like this!"
"I think he's exactly the same as that debauched emperor from before. No wonder they're brothers!"
"My lord! How about this? Let's skip Prince Jing and directly support the young master. Then the young lady will be the Empress Dowager! Let's see who dares to bully her then!"
The Marquis of Zhenxi was even more heartbroken when he mentioned his grandson. He pounded his chest, his face flushed, and cried out, "My poor grandson! He's been terribly harmed by his own father. I don't know who it was, but they actually poisoned my grandson. Now he's unconscious!"
"I just led my troops out."
"That's exactly what happened."
"If anything happens to my precious grandson, I will personally kill that beast, Prince Jing!"
Upon hearing this, these trusted confidants all volunteered to go to Dianzhou to seek justice for the young master!
After much deliberation, the Marquis of Zhenbei finally dispatched his most trusted general with 5,000 troops to Dianzhou!
He simply couldn't believe that Prince Jing would break ties with his father-in-law over a woman!
If it weren't for the desire to win a decisive battle as soon as possible and quickly intimidate the surrounding princes and nobles, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to personally lead his troops out!
Moreover, since he wants to personally assist an emperor, he should bring Changzhou under his control as soon as possible!
In this way, they would have one-third of Jing Kingdom's territory, and they would no longer have to be restrained in whatever they did!
Just as he was thinking about how to arrange his troops to reduce casualties, someone suddenly rushed in from outside!
"Report! My lord! Our spies in Changzhou have sent word that the goddess will be praying to heaven for rain tomorrow morning!"
The Marquis of Zhenbei was somewhat surprised, "Pray for rain? Pray for what kind of rain?"
"This goddess must be crazy."
She herself doesn't know how she got this title.
"They actually thought about praying for rain."
Suddenly, someone nearby spoke up: "My lord! Didn't we hear that after Prince Kang was captured by the goddess, he was imprisoned, not only deprived of food and water, but also forbidden to move around freely!"
"The reason we're using this as an excuse is to protect the goddess. If the goddess herself comes out and refutes the rumors, saying that she went there voluntarily, we might be able to ease the situation. But the goddess has already been treated like this, so she definitely won't refute the rumors in front of him!"
"King Kang was probably driven to desperation, which is why he came up with this idea."
"This is also a way of saying that the goddess went there voluntarily, otherwise how could she have prayed for rain?"
"I suggest we wait until tomorrow, and attack after the rainmaking fails. You can also get some rest!"
Marquis Zhenbei agreed, as he had just coughed up blood and was indeed feeling unwell.
And he also wanted to see just how capable this goddess was!
So they acquiesced to their actions!
In just one short night, the situation in Changzhou changed dramatically!
Lu Ci summoned all the prominent officials of Changzhou to the Prince Kang's residence!
After they came in one after another, the outer door was slammed shut!
Then Lin Ru walked in carrying the body of the Prince of Kang!
Just as those people were still marveling at the woman's beautiful face, she casually tossed the things she was carrying forward!
Only then did these people realize that this beautiful woman was actually carrying a corpse in her hand!
They were so frightened that they all moved aside!
Then Lin Ru said, "King Kang is now dead! If you know what's good for you, submit to this goddess! If you're unwilling, I can personally send you to see King Kang!"
These people looked on in astonishment, staring at Lin Ru and Lu Ci in disbelief!
There were also people who didn't believe that King Kang would die at all, who quickly stepped forward and turned the already used corpse over!
When they confirmed the identity of the corpse in front of them, they were so frightened that they all backed away!
Some even pointed at Lu Ci's nose and started cursing!
"Lu Ci! You traitor! I knew you old scoundrel, you never had any good intentions."
"And you, you shameless wretch who brings disaster to the country and the people, how dare you expect us to obey your orders when you are a woman? You are truly shameless."
"I think it was you who used that face to bewitch Lu Ci!"
"I'll make sure you adulterers kill me."
