Hua Yu prepared a small gift and hurriedly arrived at General Ning's residence. She gently parted her lips and asked softly, "May I ask if General Ning and Young Master Ning are at home? I am Hua Yu, the eldest daughter of the Hua family. Please go and inform them that I have something to discuss with them." As she spoke, she bowed slightly, displaying the demeanor of a well-bred young lady.

Just then, General Ning finished his military training and rode back. When he saw Hua Yu standing gracefully at the gate, he quickly dismounted, greeted her with a beaming smile, and said loudly, "Oh my, it's Miss Hua who graces my humble abode with her presence! What brings you here today, Miss Hua?"

Hua Yu's expression was solemn. She stepped forward and said, "Hua Yu has come here today because she has important matters to report to General Ning in person. I hope that the General will allow me to enter the mansion so that we can discuss them in detail." Before she finished speaking, her beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety, and her gaze was fixed on General Ning.

Seeing this, General Ning quickly waved his hand and said, "In that case, please come with me into the mansion..." After saying that, he personally led Miss Hua into the general's mansion and all the way to the study. After the two were seated, General Ning waved away the servants who were attending to him, and then began to carefully examine the anxious Miss Hua in front of him.

After a moment of silence, General Ning broke the deadlock, looking at Hua Yu with a serious expression and asking, "I wonder what exactly this important matter that Miss Hua speaks of is that requires her to specifically inform a rough man like me?"

Hua Yu took a deep breath and solemnly replied, "This matter concerns the fate of the Great Fish Kingdom!"

Upon hearing this, General Ning, who had been sitting upright, suddenly stood up, his eyes wide with astonishment. For a moment, he was at a loss for words. After a long while, he finally came to his senses and eagerly asked, "Is this true? Miss Hua, please tell me in detail."

“I have evidence that the Crown Prince is plotting a rebellion,” Hua Yu said solemnly.

"Are you saying that the Crown Prince is plotting a rebellion? What evidence do you have? Tell me the truth quickly," General Ning pressed.

Hua Yu took out a secret letter from her sleeve and handed it to General Ning. "This letter is the evidence. It clearly states the Crown Prince's rebellion plan and his cronies." General Ning quickly glanced at the letter, his face growing increasingly grim.

"How did you obtain this secret letter? Tell me the truth. You didn't forge it to frame His Highness the Crown Prince, did you?" General Ning asked, still somewhat doubtful.

"Little scum, what should I say? I can't just say that it was you, Little scum, who used the telekinetic function to steal it. General Ning definitely won't believe me. Quickly help me think of a way, you brat! Where are you at this crucial moment?" Hua Yu felt a little scared and fell into deep thought in the face of General Ning's questioning.

"So it is, so it is..." Xiao Zha mysteriously described some things to Hua Yu, and then quickly fell silent again.

"General Ning, this letter is one I wrote down. That day I was having tea at Qingfeng Tower when I heard the Crown Prince's voice coming from the private room next door..."

That night, the dim candlelight in the private room of Qingfeng Tower illuminated several shadowy figures on the window lattice. Crown Prince Lan Yan, dressed in a black brocade robe, his usually gentle features now filled with gloom, paced back and forth, the wind from the hem of his robe causing the candlelight to flicker.

"Sit down, everyone. If even the slightest detail of what we discussed tonight is leaked, losing your heads is a small matter; the consequences for your families would be utter ruin." The Crown Prince spoke coldly, his voice like ice. Everyone fell silent, taking their seats, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

The bodyguard Zhao Xun broke the silence first, lowering his voice to say, "Your Highness, His Majesty's favor towards the Fourth Prince is growing day by day, and many officials in the court have begun to curry favor with him. If this continues, Your Highness's position as Crown Prince will be in danger. In my opinion, we must act decisively."

Lan Yan snorted coldly: "I was made crown prince at a young age, how can I allow him to gradually erode this hard-won empire? However, I must be extremely careful in my actions and not give anyone any leverage. Tell me, what are your plans?"

The strategist Qian Wenyuan pushed up his glasses, a sly glint in his eyes: "Your Highness, on the third day of next month, the Fourth Prince is ordered to reward the soldiers at the military camp on the outskirts of the city. On the way, he will pass through Black Wind Gorge, a place with treacherous terrain, high mountains, and dense forests, making it an excellent place to strike. We can arrange for a group of assassins to disguise themselves as bandits and ambush the Prince. After the deed is done, we can leave some letters at the scene showing the Fourth Prince colluding with foreign enemies. I'm not worried that the Emperor won't believe us."

"Brilliant!" General Sun Meng slapped his thigh. "However, these assassins must be carefully selected. They must be tight-lipped and highly skilled. If they are captured alive, all our efforts will be wasted."

The Crown Prince nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This matter will be handled by Zhao Xun. Select some trustworthy and skilled guards under your command, and have them disguise themselves as bandits without giving themselves away. Qian Wenyuan, you are best at forging letters, so make sure it is watertight, from the wording to the seal, everything must withstand close scrutiny."

"Your subordinates obey," the two replied in unison.

"Under the cover of night, I secretly recorded their conversation, their plans, and who their accomplices were, and wrote it all down in this letter," Hua Yu finally revealed.

“This matter is extremely important. If it is not handled properly, the Great Fish Kingdom will surely fall into internal strife.” General Ning paced back and forth in deep thought. Hua Yu continued, “Now the Emperor is ill, the Crown Prince is eager to usurp the throne, and many ministers in the court have been secretly bribed by him. General, you hold a large army and are the only one who can stop him.”

General Ning clenched his fist. "This general will naturally protect the country and will never allow such a thing to happen. However, this matter cannot be acted upon rashly; careful planning is required." Hua Yu nodded slightly. "Hua Yu is willing to obey the general's orders and assist the general."

General Ning looked at Hua Yu with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "Miss Hua is very righteous. From now on, we will begin our preparations. First, we will send people to closely monitor the movements of the Crown Prince and his cronies, and then we will secretly protect the safety of the Fourth Prince..." And so, the two began their secret planning to counter the Crown Prince's rebellion in the study.

Upon hearing that Miss Hua had arrived at the General's Mansion, Ning Yuan quickly returned from the barracks in the suburbs. As soon as he arrived at the door of the study, he saw General Ning with a serious expression and Miss Hua, the beauty he had been thinking about day and night, discussing something.

"Ning Yuan is back. Come in quickly, I have something important to discuss with you." General Ning beckoned to Ning Yuan.

Hua Yu stared blankly as Ning Yuan walked towards her step by step.

Ning Yuan stood with his hair tied back in a high crown, his black outfit highlighting his broad shoulders and narrow waist, his muscular physique exuding powerful strength. His features were sharply defined, as if sculpted by a knife; beneath his thick eyebrows, his deep eyes were like ancient pools, unfathomable, only occasionally revealing his inner thoughts. His straight nose hinted at his stubborn nature, his square jawline was strong, and his slightly pursed, resolute lips exuded a cold and aloof demeanor. The aura he emanated was cold and distant, yet his handsome appearance captivated all who beheld him.

"What a handsome man in ancient style," Ruan Quan thought to himself.

"Miss Hua, how have you been?" Ning Yuan smiled at Hua Yu.
