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

Upon hearing this, Yang Yi's brows furrowed slightly.

The fact that the Ninth Prince, who is usually not valued, could say such things shows how deep the other party's cunning is.

Now that they've spoken up, it's either because of their familial bond or because they have a shared way out.

He definitely has to help me with this today.

"Since Your Highness has already spoken, I will naturally do my utmost to assist you!"

Yang Yi looked very serious; he was now placing all his hopes on his nephew.

Yang Ling was naturally very satisfied with these words.

With the help of this wise prince, I will be able to reach Liangzhou smoothly.

"Then your nephew thanks you again, Imperial Uncle!"

As Yang Ling spoke, she stood up and cupped her hands in a gesture of respect to Yang Yi, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Now that Yang Ling has handled everything properly, with money and manpower, going west to Liangzhou will naturally be much easier.

The uncle and nephew talked for a while longer before Yang Ling left with a grateful expression.

Without the King of Chu's help, the journey I was about to take would have been even more difficult.

But now that offense and defense are easy, once he reaches Liangzhou, a mere crown prince will sooner or later become his defeated foe.

As Yang Ling left, a middle-aged man dressed in white came out of the room.

The middle-aged man waved a feather fan in his hand, a hint of shock between his brows. The Ninth Prince was indeed very different from before.

"Your Highness, are you really planning to join forces with the Ninth Prince?"

The middle-aged man looked up at King Yang Yi of Chu, who was sitting in a chair with a smile on his face.

There was a hint of confusion in his words.

"Why not? In the court and among the people, the Ninth Prince is probably the only one who can allow me to enjoy my old age in peace."

"His Majesty is eyeing us covetously. Just as the Ninth Prince said, 'When the cunning rabbit is caught, the good bow is put away.' Now this is our only way out."

As Yang Yi spoke, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked to the window.

Looking up into the distance, a hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes.

"But...but can you really trust the Ninth Prince?"

Upon hearing Yang Yi's words, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment.

Although the Ninth Prince did well in these matters and spoke with great ambition, in the end, he was still just a child.

He has absolutely no say in the current political situation.

If something unexpected happens, King Yang Yi of Chu will truly have no way out.

"Don't worry, I've lived this long enough, I still have the eyesight!"

Upon hearing this, King Yang Yi of Chu immediately smiled.

Yang Ling is no longer a child; she is a person with lofty goals.

They are also the strategic partners I need most right now.

"Alright, we can't say what will happen in the future, but for now we must support him with all our might. Please select some of the strongest soldiers and personally deliver them to the Ninth Prince."

Since Yang Yi has already made this decision, there will naturally be no further changes.

We just hope that Yang Ling can live up to expectations and lead him out of his current predicament.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly upon hearing this. Yang Yi had always been cautious in his actions, and his decision was undoubtedly the result of careful consideration.

All I can do is offer my full support.

Upon returning to his residence, Yang Ling immediately instructed Yang Fu to begin tidying up the rest of the house.

Now that I'm leaving, I'll naturally sell everything that can be sold.

"Your Highness, is everything alright now?"

Yun'er walked over, looked at Yang Ling, and said earnestly.

Hearing Yun'er say this, Yang Ling hesitated slightly. Her Crown Prince brother would never let her off so easily.

After all, we angered them today.

"Yes, everything is fine!"

A helpless smile appeared on Yang Ling's face. He really had no choice but to deal with whatever came his way.

"Then I'll go pack my luggage!"

Yun'er looked at Yang Ling in front of her with a sweet smile on her face. No matter where he went, she would definitely accompany him.

"Go ahead and get some rest tonight. No matter what noise you hear, don't come out."

Yang Ling said calmly, "Now I just hope Yang Yi can really send the person over, otherwise I'm afraid I really won't make it through tonight."

Just as he was feeling worried, the middle-aged man from before walked in with a smile.

"What is it that Your Highness is so worried about?"

The middle-aged man had a bright smile on his face, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes as he looked at Yang Ling.

"Oh, sir, but the royal uncle has already sent the person."

Seeing the smile on the other person's face, Yang Ling naturally recognized him; the original owner of this body had interacted with him to some extent.

The middle-aged man smiled and then nodded.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. More than a hundred loyal and highly skilled assassins will certainly ensure your safety."

"Furthermore, I hope Your Highness can understand the Prince's good intentions."

The middle-aged man looked at Yang Ling in front of him and spoke seriously.

Yang Ling nodded slightly. He had seen and remembered everything the King of Chu had done.

"Then we will rely on you from now on!"

For Yang Ling, the addition of the middle-aged man would only make her stronger.

Once I reach Liangzhou, all my plans will be officially implemented.

Night gradually fell.

An eerie atmosphere permeated the entire Ninth Prince's residence.

Yang Ling had already made all the arrangements. Before leaving, he was determined to leave his elder brother, the Crown Prince, with a huge surprise.

……

"Cheer up, everyone!"

Outside the Ninth Prince's residence, Zhou Feng, the Crown Prince's confidant, looked around at the pitch-black surroundings with a ferocious smile on his face.

"My lord, everything is ready. When shall we make our move?"

His subordinate ran over respectfully and looked at Zhou Feng with a serious expression, saying...

"No rush. Wait until it's late at night and everyone is quiet before you make your move. Remember to be ruthless."

Zhou Feng said it casually, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Anyone who dares to oppose the Crown Prince will have to pay the price for their actions, after all, this is not the first time they have done it.

Time passed slowly, and the night deepened.

The entire mansion was deathly silent.

Zhou Feng was ready, a hint of ferocity in his eyes. As long as he did what the Crown Prince had entrusted to him today, his wealth and glory would come.

"Do it!"

With a command given, countless footsteps echoed throughout the perimeter of the mansion.

Hearing the commotion, Yang Ling, who was inside the room, smiled slightly. It seemed that what was bound to happen had finally arrived.
