The peerless and dark princess

Mu Wange was surprised, "So fast?"

It hadn't been that long, and those people had already finished their training. It was really nice to have one's own way of training people. Unlike her current situation, where everything she did was restricted, she wasn't used to it. Now that those people were trained, she finally had her own people to use.

"You chose these people with good foundations, so we're a little faster than we expected. By the way, I want to borrow Zuo Jiu for a few days and have her go to the border to visit Yun Xin..."

"Look at your sister. Okay, that's perfect. I'll bring some things over to Sister Mo Xuan as well."

……

Zuo Ci and Mu Wange were having a pleasant conversation, while Chu Lianyue and his son in the study had changing expressions as they looked at what they had just investigated.

"Dad, this... is this our Majesty? Our Chu family is protecting the Chen family and defending the country. How could this..."

The letter on the desk was opened, and the content read: When Chu Lixiu went to war, they would secretly murder them and make him stay on the battlefield forever... etc. In short, Chen Yan wanted to wipe out the Chu family in one fell swoop!

"Our Chu family has been loyal ministers for generations. Is this still our king? Is this still our emperor? This is intolerable. What our Chu family needs is not power, but trust..."

Seeing his father's sad face, Chu Lixiao was filled with righteous indignation. "Dad, since His Majesty is unrighteous, why should we be loyal to him? As the elegy said, why don't we just..."

"Lixiao, you are so treasonous!!" Chu Lianyue stopped Chu Lixiao and did not allow him to say the rest of the words.

Chu Lixiao curled his lips, and then looked at his troubled father with great worry, but he was powerless. Chu Lianyue had been taught the way of loyalty to the emperor since childhood, fulfilling his duty as an assistant and protecting the country of Dali. Now that Chu Lianyue and Chu Lianyao were involved in the rebellion, it was really difficult for them.

"Dad, let's not think about this for now. Let's have our family deliver this news to uncle and brother as soon as possible."

"Right, right, right. I forgot about this after being scared by that girl Wange." Chu Lianyue then remembered that the information they had gathered had not yet been passed on to Chu Lianyao. "I'd better mention Wange's opinions as well. As for forming an alliance with Zuo Ci or... ahem, that matter, we'll discuss it after your uncle returns safely."

"So, Dad, what are you worried about now?"

"Don't worry, you kid actually learned to tease your father. Go, go back to your yard. I'm going to find your mother..."

When Chu Lixiao heard what Chu Lianyue said, he couldn't help but hold his forehead. How could his parents have fallen in love with such a silly boy? Chu Lixiao felt full of disgust.

"Elegy, where did you learn what you said that night?"

"What do you mean by learned? Can't I have my own opinions?"

"You're so smart, why were you called 'Miss Straight-Away' back then?"

Mu Wange couldn't help but complain inwardly: "I can't tell you that I'm not Mu Wange in the first place. As for the real Mu Wange, she's long gone. Of course she's smarter now that she's a different person. But she's Luo Xi." But I can't say any of this.

"Alas, I was blind at the time and only focused on Chen Yunfeng."

"You're blind, aren't you? That guy is such a jerk. I don't know how you fell in love with him in the first place." Zuo Ci complained in front of Mu Wange as if it was a matter of course. "Look at me, this is what it means to be handsome."

"Tsk tsk, handsome and elegant? I think he's a beast in human form."

"Be it a beast in human form, it's still better than those with snake-like hearts. Let's not talk about this anymore. After hearing what Miss Mu said, I, Zuo Ci, decided to rebel against the Chen family..." Zuo Ci said righteously, but found that Mu Wange didn't care about his current demeanor. "Hey, aren't you surprised?"

"What's so surprising about that? I care about your rebellion?" Mu Wange said calmly, "Coincidentally, I also want to overthrow him. So, whether you oppose it or not doesn't make any difference to me."

When Zuo Ci heard Mu Wange's matter-of-fact tone, he couldn't help but think that among all the girls he knew, no one seemed to be comparable to her. She seemed to have changed overnight in an incomprehensible way, yet it seemed as if it was natural. Could it be that unrequited love really changes one's personality and intelligence?

"Women are no less courageous than men. I never thought Miss Mu had such courage. Then, Miss Mu, how about joining me, Zuo Ci, in rebelling against the Heaven?"

"Of course, we are already allied. So, could Prince Zuo let me know a little more?"

"Hey, hey, hey, are you interested in me?"

"You wish. Unless someone can give me a lifelong companion, I would rather live alone than marry someone else and share a husband."

Hearing this, Zuo Ci couldn't help but think of his parents and the Chu family. Isn't that what they did? A lifelong couple, a beautiful wish. I hope she can realize it. "That's surprising, but most men have three wives and four concubines. In the whole of Dali, only the Chu family of Prince Yan's Mansion does this."

"Zuo Ci, you also said that they are the majority, which means there are still some men like this."

"I hope you can find it."

Well, Zuo Ci, don't regret it later. You clearly have feelings for me, and you even say it with a hint of blessing. Zuo Ci, this is unparalleled. In the future, when Mu Wange gets angry, he will say this. At that time, Zuo Ci wants to slap himself a few times. Why would he say such a thing?

"Marshal, why do I feel something is not right?"

Chu Lixiu stood before his father, surveying the soldiers and some of the generals at the camp, feeling something was amiss. Although the battle had been going smoothly for the past few days, successfully halting the enemy and pushing them back, with the city soon to be recaptured, Chu Lixiu noticed something was amiss with some of the soldiers.

"Li Xiu, did you feel it too?"

"Yeah, I felt it a few days ago, but at that time I thought I was just overthinking it."

"Li Xiu, be prepared. I'm afraid there are other people infiltrating the army. We don't know if they were arranged by the civil officials or if they are spies from the enemy country. When you patrol at night, pay close attention to their movements. If there are any unusual movements, kill them."

"Yes, Marshal. What about the deputy commander???"

"That's the military supervisor appointed by His Majesty. Let him be. As long as he doesn't interfere with our fighting, we won't care about anything else. Damn it, I really don't know what kind of person His Majesty has sent here. He can't stand the slightest hardship..."

"I understand. As long as he doesn't interfere with the war plan, I won't bother with other trivial matters. But Marshal, I think we should be cautious, for fear that he might plot something secretly."
