That servant had already been controlled by the two deputy generals.

Not only did the servant reveal Wu Xiong's secret dealings with the Han army, but he also exposed how Wu Xiong had extorted money and grain from the people over the years and how he had purchased weapons from the Liao Dynasty.

How he contacted the Black Lotus Cult in secret, and even had dealings with the Sea Still Peony Country, he spilled everything clean.

Every single one of these incidents, if you pick just one out, would be enough for Wu Xiong to have his head chopped off.

Luofeng Tang said, "The evidence is conclusive, we plan to act tomorrow, so tonight, you and the princess will leave the city ahead of time."

Yang Ruqing said, "Wu Xiong is too wicked. Just dispatching troops to take him in a seemingly official manner is too cheap for him. We should also give him some other lessons."

Even for the sake of Xiao Yu's parents and siblings, he shouldn't be let off that easily.

"Besides, I think it's best for Wu Xiong to lead his troops himself in this matter,"

"In this way, we will stand on the moral high ground and put him at a disadvantage."

“To actively send troops to attack the Grand Protector General and the princess, this is the grave sin of treason. The city's soldiers are not a united force; some will need to carefully consider and weigh things before acting. What do you think?”

Hearing this, Luofengtang raised an eyebrow: "Qinger, do you have a better idea?"

Yang Ruoqing raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

“I have a good plan. It will enrage that old fox Wu Xiong and make him lose his composure, forcing him to attack us first!”

Even if it reaches the imperial court in the future, don't even think about getting protection. Let him be completely crushed and never rise again!

"What's a good way? Qing'er, tell me quickly." Luofeng Tang said.

Yang Ruqing feigned a mysterious smile and said, "For now, it's top secret. However, this plan requires one crucial person to make it work. She has to appear."

"Who?" he asked.

Yang Ruqing said, "Princess Jiu, Qi Aoshan!"

At noon, Yang Ruqing made some small dishes and snacks, then sent them to Qi Aoshan.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Qi Aoshan sent the maids and grandmothers out to the courtyard to let the wind blow, then pulled Yang Ruoqing aside to speak in whispers.

Yang Ruqing said, "Princess Jiu, you will soon be able to leave Tianhai County and return to the capital to reunite with your sixth older brother."

Hearing this, Qi Aoshan's whole body was filled with excitement.

"Really? That's great! When are you leaving for Beijing?" she asked.

Yang Ruqing said, "We're about to take action. Wait until the operation is complete before leaving. However, I need you, Princess Nine, to help me!"

"What can I do? Just say it, I came to Tianhai County to assist General Luo and his men." Qi Aoshan said.

Yang Ruqing said: "It's a little dangerous, Ninth Princess you..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qi Aoshan said: "If it wasn't dangerous, I wouldn't bother coming to Tianhai County. Madam Luo, just tell me straight. We are all in the same boat now, sharing glory and disgrace. If we fail to complete our mission, none of us can leave Tianhai County safely."

Yang Ruoqing smiled with satisfaction, "It's fortunate that Princess Jiu understands the righteousness so well. Good, then I shall be direct..."

The next day, Princess Qi Ao Shan personally cooked a soup and some snacks, and sent them to Wu Zhi through her maidservants.

After the palace maid returned, she told Princess Nine and Yang Ruoqing: "When I sent the congee to Wu Gongzi's room, there was clearly the sound of a woman giggling inside."

But when I went to see him, the steward said that Young Master Wu was resting. The palace maid said.

Qi Aoshan slapped the table in anger, "This is outrageous! I personally made the soup for him, and he doesn't even come out to greet me. He's clearly fooling around with women and dares to lie!"

“I want to tell my sixth older brother to chop off Wu Zhi’s pig head!”

Yang Ruqing quickly said, "Nine Princess, don't worry, let's take it slow. A small act of ruthlessness can lead to great chaos."

Qi Aoshan took two deep breaths before barely suppressing her anger.

Yang Ruqing said, “You see, in less than a day, Wu Zhi will come to visit you proactively.”

"Why are you so sure?" Qi Aoshan asked.

"Do you know Wu Zhi well? But you've never met him, have you? Although he is very ugly and fat, fat like a pig."

Yang Ruqing smiled, "I've met Wu Zhi, but his father, Wu Xiong, we all know his character."

"Wu Xiong is a cunning old fox. Before he feels the time is right and it's safe to act, he absolutely won't allow Wu Zhi to offend you."

"Do you still remember the day you pushed him into the water? As a result, Wu Xiong even sent gifts from the government to apologize to you on Wu Zhi's behalf!"

Before the next day even arrived, that very night, Wu Zhi came to the courtyard himself.

"Master Wu said that after drinking the congee made by Princess Jiu personally, he is now perfectly fine."

“It has been many days since I last saw Princess Nine, and I miss her dearly. I have come to visit Her Highness and express my gratitude in person.”

When the palace maid came to report to Qi Ao Shan, Qi Ao Shan was playing chess face-to-face with Yang Ruo Qing.

Upon hearing this, Qi Aoshan laughed, "Madam Luo, your prediction is truly accurate. It has come early. He must have been sent by his father."

Yang Ruoqing was idly playing with the chess piece in her hand, and said with a faint smile: "Whether it's his own wish to come or his father arranged for him to come, anyway, he's here, isn't he?"

Qi Aoshan nodded.

She turned her head and instructed the palace maid, "Go invite him in."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The palace maid turned and left to pass the message.

Here, Yang Ruqing stood up gracefully and said, "Then I'll go back first. It's all up to you from now on!"

"The stage is yours, make the most of it!"

Qi Aoshan patted her chest, "Don't worry, acting, this princess is serious! There will be good news soon!"

When Yang Ruqing was leaving, she met Wu Zhi at the gate of the small courtyard.

Unlike what Qi Aoshan said, this Wu Zhi is not fat at all, nor is he ugly. On the contrary, he is quite handsome.

However, though his skin looked good, his complexion was terrible. It was clear that he had been drained by alcohol and lust, with a faint shadow under his eyes.

When Wu Zhi first met Yang Ruqing, his eyes lit up.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This is a lecher, the habitual lascivious glance he gives when he sees a fresh young beauty.

Yang Ruqing paused her steps and said, "This must be Young Master Wu, the future husband of Princess Nine, right?"

Wu Zhi also stopped, straightened his clothes, and bowed to Yang Ruoqing: "I am Wu Zhi. May I ask who this lady is?"

Yang Ruqing smiled, "Her husband's family is surnamed Luo."

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, as if he still wanted to say something else to Yang Ruqing.

Yang Ruqing wasn't interested in talking to him. She raised an eyebrow towards Qi Aoshan's house behind her and said, "Princess Jiu is waiting for her husband inside. I won't keep you two any longer, see you later."

Looking at Yang Ruqing's leaving back, especially her graceful figure with flowing hair, Wu Zhi secretly drooled.

I thought to myself, this young lady is truly beautiful. She's much prettier than the Ninth Princess. Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! ?

"This sister, who was that lady who just walked past?" Wu Zhi couldn't help but inquire with the palace maid beside him.

The palace maid said, "She is the wife of the national protector general, and she was a close friend with our princess from before."
