The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

Could it be that the Ninth Prince is so easily defeated in their eyes?

"Princess, you should mind your own business. You can't handle His Highness's power!"

An Yu's lips curled slightly, her eyes filled with contempt. She pulled Yun'er up and was about to turn and leave.

Faced with An Yu's arrogance, Princess Shangyang was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

After all, this person was backed by the Ninth Prince's forces. Although that guy was dead, the forces he left behind were not something I could afford to offend.

Watching An Yu leave with Yun'er, Princess Shangyang smiled coldly.

"Someone, go and find some assassins for this princess!"

As Princess Shangyang finished speaking, the guards behind her nodded, but their eyes still held a deep sense of worry.

"Princess, isn't this a bit too risky?"

The guards also looked worried. After all, the Ninth Prince had left behind quite a few troops. If they really angered him, they might not be able to handle the situation.

"I know what I'm doing. Go and do what I've told you to do right now!"

Princess Shangyang looked very ugly at this moment. How could she, as the princess of a county, allow others to humiliate her like this?

This matter absolutely cannot be let off easily!

……

"An Yu, thank you so much! Otherwise, who knows what might have happened!"

Yun'er was deeply moved. If it weren't for this young man, she would probably have died at the hands of that woman.

"Miss Yun'er, this is what I should do!"

An Yu had a bright smile on her face.

Upon hearing this, Yun'er nodded slowly, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Just as the two were talking, a guard suddenly appeared, standing there with a serious expression.

"His Highness sent me to protect the young lady; this is a letter written in His Highness's own handwriting!"

When the guard said this, he looked at An Yu and Yun'er.

Yun'er, in particular, had a bright look in her eyes and was filled with anticipation.

Letters Yang Ling wrote to her.

"His Highness said he cannot come to see Miss Yun'er for the time being, so please rest assured, Miss!"

"He also said that if the young lady has any problems, she should come to me, and I will certainly live up to his expectations!"

The guard spoke very clearly, word by word, and Yun'er was deeply moved.

An Yu smiled smugly after hearing this.

"Miss Yun'er, then I won't escort you back!"

After saying that, he left immediately.

Watching An Yu's departing figure, Yun'er's heart was filled with anticipation.

The fact that Yang Ling isn't coming to see her now can only mean one thing.

That means the other side has completely taken control of Liangzhou, which is why they haven't shown themselves yet.

But everything is already good enough for her now. If it weren't for Yang Ling's arrangements today, she probably would already be...

……

Days passed by, but with the arrival of the Shence Army, Chen Ming looked increasingly worried.

The moment I made a move, the Crown Prince sent people over; it was clearly meant for my benefit.

If he doesn't know when to stop, he'll probably lose his head in the next moment.

"General, what's your opinion on the current situation?"

Chen Ming looked at Yang Ling with a nervous expression, his eyes full of anticipation.

Yang Ling, however, remained calm and did not take the Shence Army seriously at all.

After all, with only a few hundred people, how could they possibly cause any big waves in Liangzhou?

"In my opinion, once the Shence Army is stationed in the city, we should go all out and kill them!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming trembled, his eyes filled with astonishment.

How dare Yang Ling take such a bold step?

"General, have you thought this through? Those people are the Shence Army!"

Chen Ming's face was full of worry, and he also disagreed with Yang Ling's plan.

This man is a close confidant of the Crown Prince; if he fails, it will be all over.

"What? Is the adult scared?"

Yang Ling smiled, looking extremely disdainful.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming's expression instantly turned ugly, his eyes filled with a sinister look.

Damn it! I'm a high-ranking official in the imperial court, how dare he say such things to me!

Although Chen Ming was furious, he didn't dare to offend Yang Ling too much, since they were now in the same boat.

"I'm not afraid, but we only occupy one state right now. If we break off relations, things won't be so easy."

Seeing Chen Ming's timid and submissive appearance, Yang Ling gave a cold smile. He was about to put these people on the fire to roast.

Only when they are pushed to the brink will they truly be of use to you.

"Don't worry, my lord, I have made arrangements for the Crown Prince!"

Yang Ling spoke slowly, a hint of confidence in her eyes, which reassured Chen Ming.

But soon, someone else came to report.

The Crown Prince actually sent someone to deliver an imperial edict.

Chen Ming's face was full of reluctance. He had already completely occupied Liangzhou, so there was no need for him to listen to the Crown Prince's orders anymore.

"Let's go and see if His Highness the Crown Prince has any further instructions."

Yang Ling, however, remained calm and composed, appearing confident of victory.

After hearing this, Chen Ming had no choice but to obediently walk out.

The person delivering the imperial edict stood in front of the Liangzhou government office, looking extremely serious with icy coldness in his eyes.

Chen Ming stepped forward to greet him, his face somewhat pale.

The person in front of him was none other than Li Qing, the Crown Prince's confidant.

He was also the chief eunuch by Emperor Liang's side, and the fact that the Crown Prince sent him here shows how important this matter is.

"Lord Chen, His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that you do not do anything that disobeys the court."

Li Qing looked at Chen Ming in front of him and said slowly.

With a deep sense of authority in his eyes, Chen Ming's face instantly turned ugly upon hearing these words.

"Of course I wouldn't dare to have any disloyal thoughts!"

Chen Ming nodded, his heart filled with resentment and helplessness.

This is all because of his own lack of strength; otherwise, he could have endured this humiliation.

Li Qing nodded slowly upon hearing this, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

However, he quickly looked at Yang Ling beside him.

"Is this the Divine Martial General who will succeed the Ninth Prince? He looks quite similar to His Highness the Ninth Prince!"

When Li Qing said this, his brows furrowed slightly, and Yang Ling's heart trembled slightly. As expected, he was the chief eunuch who served Emperor Liang.

This guy recognized my identity at a glance. I absolutely cannot let him live. If he leaves Liangzhou, my life will probably be difficult in the future.
