Auxiliary Women's Strategy: A Virtuous Wife Helps the King to Rule the World

Night fell slowly and heavily, like thick, heavy ink, enveloping the earth in a deep, profound darkness. Mo Yu transformed back into a crow, like a ghost lurking in the shadows. And so, silently and stealthily, he infiltrated the Seventh Prince's territory.

During his infiltration, Mo Yu remained calm and collected, unperturbed by his impatience. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, capturing every nuance that might hint at danger or clues. Whether it was the layout of the houses, the direction of the streets, or even the expressions and actions of the people, he took them all in.

In a remote corner, Mo Yu changed back into human form and began to explore. Turning a corner, he met an old man who was walking in a hurry.

Mo Yu asked softly, "Old man, has anything unusual happened in the city lately? I see many shops are closed, and the bustling scene of the past has disappeared."

The old man glanced at him warily, wanting to say something but stopping himself, his eyes full of panic.

Mo Yu hurriedly said, "Old man, I'm not a bad person. I just want to know some information. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

The old man sighed deeply and said in a low voice, "Alas, young man, the Seventh Prince's harsh rule has made us common people suffer unbearably! The taxes are getting heavier day by day, and the surplus food in our homes has been confiscated. Life is simply unbearable."

Mo Yu frowned and asked, "Is it just a matter of taxes?"

The old man shook his head, his face filled with sorrow. "There's also forced conscription. Many men have been taken away, and we don't know whether they're alive or dead. My son was also taken away, and I haven't heard from him since."

Mo Yu patted the old man's shoulder and comforted him, "Thank you for telling me, old man. Please take care of yourself. I believe there will be a turn for the better."

In front of a dilapidated house, Mo Yu saw a woman covering her face and crying. Her crying was so miserable and heartbreaking.

Mo Yu walked up and asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"

The woman raised her tear-stained face and sobbed, "My husband was taken away for forced labor and has not been heard from since. Without the pillar of our family, how will we live in the future?"

Mo Yu comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't be too sad. There will always be a way to solve it."

The woman lamented, "What can I do? I can't live like this anymore."

Mo Yu secretly clenched his fists and swore in his heart that he must expose the crimes of the seventh prince.

Mo Yu continued his investigation and arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. Transformed into a crow, Mo Yu could easily gather information. In the hall, four deacons of the Tongtian Sect were conversing.

A deacon said, "If the Seventh Prince's plan succeeds, our Tongtian Divine Sect will be able to seize the initiative in the battle for the ruins."

Another deacon continued, "Humph, he's just borrowing our strength. Once the matter is accomplished, we must make him fulfill his promise."

Another steward said, "Don't worry, if he dares to break his promise, he will be in trouble. This time, if we help him train his private soldiers and seek the throne, we will definitely benefit from it."

Mo Yu was shocked and silently took note of their conversation. He did not dare to act rashly and left quietly.

In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Mo Yu discovered a heavily guarded dungeon and found the right time to enter it.

Upon entering the dungeon, Mo Yu was immediately enraged. It wasn't a large dungeon, but it was densely packed with hundreds of people, all covered in wounds. Painful groans and mournful howls echoed endlessly. Upon investigation, he discovered that they were mostly ordinary civilians, with a few possessing a touch of inner strength. Judging by their attire, they looked like spies. These individuals barely resembled human form, and it seemed they had been subjected to numerous tortures.

"It should be a spy sent by the eldest prince." Mo Yu guessed secretly.

After several days of careful investigation, Mo Yu finally uncovered the truth behind the injustice committed against Chen Feifan and his family. To seize the Chen family's vast fortune, the Seventh Prince meticulously orchestrated a fabricated murder case, brutally sending the Chen family head and his wife to the guillotine. Furthermore, the Seventh Prince, with unparalleled audacity, secretly executed most of the Chen family's servants, leaving only a handful to escape.

After completing the investigation, Mo Yu did not dare to stay for a moment. He quickly left the Seventh Prince's territory and rushed back to the First Prince without stopping.

Before Mo Yu could even catch his breath when he saw the eldest prince, the eldest prince asked anxiously, "Mo Yu, what's going on?"

Mo Yu took a deep breath, calmed his breath, and said, "Grand Prince, the Seventh Prince has committed numerous crimes, and the evidence is irrefutable. The people have suffered terribly from his harsh rule. The taxes are suffocatingly heavy, and the forced labor has torn countless families apart. I have also found the spies sent by the Grand Prince, and they are imprisoned in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion. Moreover, I heard from the deacons of the Tongtian Divine Cult that they are helping the Seventh Prince train private soldiers with the intention of rebellion."

The eldest prince's eyes widened in shock, and he shouted angrily, "How could such a thing happen! Then how did they plan it?"

Mo Yu replied, "According to what those stewards said, the Seventh Prince is using the Tongtian Divine Religion to train his own soldiers. He will give the Tongtian Divine Religion many benefits after the mission is successful. We don't know what they want specifically."

The eldest prince was furious, his hands clenched into fists. "This seventh prince is so bold! He is simply lawless!"

At this time, Su Nan hurried in and asked, "What's going on?"

The eldest prince said, "Su Nan, Mo Yu has brought evidence of the Seventh Prince's crimes. He not only treated the people harshly, but also colluded with the Tongtian Sect, trained private soldiers, and intended to rebel."

The eldest prince frowned and paced back and forth. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We must formulate a countermeasure as soon as possible and not let his conspiracy succeed. Otherwise, the people will suffer and the country will be unstable."

Su Nan gasped in surprise, but then felt relieved: "It seems that the Seventh Prince is doomed."

The eldest prince was confused: "What do you mean?"

Su Nan sneered, "If he only oppresses the people and preys on the locals, it might be difficult to take him down for a while, but he absolutely shouldn't be plotting a rebellion."

The eldest prince said, "Then we should first send people to monitor the movements of the Tongtian Divine Cult, and then find a way to disrupt the Seventh Prince's private army training. However, the arrangement of these personnel needs to be carefully considered."

Su Nan rolled his eyes and thought, "What kind of brain is this? I've hinted so clearly, and you still don't understand?"

But she still gave the eldest prince enough face and said, "This matter requires long-term consideration and we cannot act rashly. We must think carefully. If we alert the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous."

The eldest prince said, "Then we should first send people to monitor the movements of the Tongtian Divine Cult, and then find a way to disrupt the Seventh Prince's private army training. However, the arrangement of these personnel needs to be carefully considered."

"Don't worry about that for now." Su Nan said slowly.

The eldest prince stopped and looked at Su Nan: "Then according to your opinion, what should we do?"

Su Nan thought for a moment and said, "Grand Prince, I think you should meet with the Emperor and explain the whole matter to him. Then, have him send someone to investigate in person. This way, the Emperor will have a clear idea of ​​what's going on. Once he knows the truth, things will be much easier."

The eldest prince suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes, the emperor is in good health now, and his seventh son actually attempted to rebel. If my father knew about this, he would definitely not let him off easily. I will go to the palace to see him. However, I am afraid that everyone in the Tongtian Divine Sect is very powerful..."

"There is no time to lose, Crown Prince. You can go to the palace to meet the emperor without worry. As for the Tongtian Sect, don't worry. I will take action when the time comes. I can say that even if their leader comes, I can still kill him with ease." Mo Yu said confidently.
