Chapter 29 My Own Power



Thinking about these things, Rong Ning felt even more choked up.

The thought in my mind grew increasingly frantic.

"I want to go listen to music!" In the midst of her daze, Rong Yang suddenly turned around and looked at Rong Ning with hopeful eyes, "A Ning, can you take my sister with you?"

"Sure! Of course!"

How could I refuse my sister's request?

"In this city of Nanyang, the best place to listen to music is the Fengyue Tower. The performers there are all outstanding."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chuan, who was following behind, was speechless and quickly stopped them, "Your Highness... no... Miss, those who frequent the brothel are all men. It's a mixed bag of people. It might be inconvenient for you two to go there."

It's inconvenient...

OK!

"Then let's skip the brothel and go to the South Wind Pavilion!" Rong Ning said with ill intent. "The male prostitutes there are all handsome and charming young men. A place like that should be frequented by women, right?"

Luo Chuan felt his vision go black. He knew Rong Ning was crazy, but he didn't expect her to be not only crazy but also shameless.

This Nanfeng Pavilion is a place for men who are into homosexuality to seek pleasure. It is even more chaotic than a brothel. How could a woman be allowed to go there?

Not to mention that these two are unmarried women.

In other words, there are no brothels in Nanyang City that women are allowed to frequent.

Moreover, even men might not be so open about their visits to the Nanfeng Pavilion.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Why don't you just cut off my head right here? Neither the brothel nor the brothel is a place you can go."

Anyway, if His Majesty finds out later, he will punish me anyway, so it's better to just die now and be done with it!

He's someone who knows how to advance when he retreats.

But Rong Ning wasn't buying it. She smiled faintly, unmoved, and said, "It's not impossible."

Luo Chuan couldn't catch his breath. He looked at Rong Ning, mouth agape, unsure how to respond.

“Never mind…A-Ning…” Rong Yang ultimately didn’t want to cause trouble for others, so she helped him out of the predicament. “We won’t go. Let’s not put Commander Luo in a difficult position.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Chuan smiled gratefully at Rong Yang.

“Sister…” Rong Ning said helplessly.

"Ah Ning... never mind... I didn't really want to go either. I was just saying it casually."

In the end, we didn't get to go anywhere.

Fearing that she might cause more trouble, Rong Yang hurriedly pulled Rong Ning back to the princess's residence.

Although she vowed to listen to music, she didn't dare to break free from societal constraints and swagger into brothels.

At night, the two slept in the same bed, chatting idly.

Remembering the private assets Rong Yang had mentioned earlier, Rong Ning became interested and looked up to ask, "Sister...do you have a lot of money?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Yang pondered quietly for a moment before slowly replying, "I suppose so... Mother's dowry was substantial, and she owned countless shops and properties. Since I took over, she has secretly expanded them considerably. However, she doesn't have much money on hand right now. It's quite expensive for Father to ascend to this position."

Forcing someone to abdicate and rebelling would definitely cost a fortune. At that time, the entire Yuwang Mansion was doing everything in its power. Rong Yang felt that she couldn't do anything, so she kept giving out silver.

After all, failure would mean the whole family losing their heads.

"So, sister, you also contributed a lot to this coup."

They just can't see it.

They felt that the only thing her older sister had to offer was her beauty.

That's just how the world is...

Rong Ning shifted to a more comfortable position and lay flat on her back, looking at the top of the tent. She murmured, "Sister... I have a secret to tell you."

"Huh? What?"

"I am building my own dark web."

"What?!" Rong Yang exclaimed, her heart pounding. "Does Father know?"

If we don't know this, it will cause a huge disaster when it's exposed in the future.

“I don’t know…” Rong Ning shook her head.

She wanted to have her own power, a power that wouldn't be hindered by anyone.

Rong Yang's expression changed. "A Ning... this is very risky."

"Yes... but I'll still do it."

Rong Ning turned over, hugged her older sister, and said in a muffled voice, "Back then, the two famous generals of Da Jing, Xuan Xun Chuan and Du Hui, burned down our granary and armory, and then disappeared in the Southern Dynasty."

This was originally a great opportunity for us.

If we had found them before the Great Jing Dynasty and killed them, the Great Jing Dynasty would have suffered heavy losses. Moreover, their identities were extraordinary, and their deaths might have shaken the Great Jing court, giving us a chance to catch our breath.

Even if they don't kill, it will increase their bargaining power later.

Unfortunately, even within the territory of the Southern Dynasty, we were unable to find these two people in advance.

Because Da Jing mobilized all of their hidden agents in the Southern Dynasty in order to find them.

It was at this time that we learned how many spies Da Jing had planted in the Southern Dynasty. They had found the two people safely and safely before we did and sent them back to Da Jing.

This is an utter disgrace.

At that time, the late emperor fled back from the north in a hurry. My father ordered me to kill a large number of people under the pretext of eliminating spies from the Great Jing Dynasty, in order to prepare for a coup.

After my father successfully forced me to abdicate, the north was thrown into chaos. I volunteered to go north to fight the enemy, but my father thought I was just a girl and dismissed it as nonsense, ignoring me.

Later, I went to the North without telling you.

When my father received the news, he couldn't do anything about it. Since I was already in the North, he ordered me to take the opportunity to remove all the spies that the Great Jing had planted in the Southern Dynasty.

It took a lot of effort to accomplish this, because their spies were well-hidden and covered a wide area.

This certainly cannot be accomplished overnight.

They had planned this all along. On the other hand, although the North was the border of the Southern Dynasty, we were completely in the dark and our information was not as readily available as that of the Great Jing.

This is utterly ridiculous!

Sister... I used to be obsessed with martial arts and never thought about these things, but seeing that the Southern Dynasty had actually been infiltrated by the spies of the Great Jing Dynasty, I find it unbelievable.

At that time, I thought, having my own intelligence network, building it up slowly, is ideal; even if I never need to use it, it could be crucial in turning the tide at a critical moment.
