Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 18 Assassination of the Princess
While Murong Chen was turning the windmill's fan blades, he was imitating a girl and counting circles.

one two three…….
After just a few turns, there was a loud noise outside.

After a while, Fei Shi saluted outside the door: "Sir, the young one is back."

"Come in!"

"Yes!"

Fei Shi stepped into the room lightly, and before his breathing was very steady, he said hurriedly: "Sir, I saw that girl enter General Anguo's mansion with my own eyes."

General Anguo?

Zhou Jing?

Murong Chen's heart tightened.

This is difficult to handle. Zhou Jing's status in Southern Chu is no less than that of a prince.

At that time, the three major kings of Chu State united in rebellion and forced the palace to Yongchun City.

When the royal family was in danger, it was Zhou Jing who led the remaining eight thousand soldiers and horses in the capital to break through the siege and respond to the Xiliang reinforcements. This solved the urgent need of the Xiang family of the Southern Chu royal family.

The Emperor of Southern Chu named Zhou Jing the general of Anguo and enjoyed royal treatment.

At the same time, there were rumors among the people that the emperor was grateful to Zhou Jing for his role in rescuing the emperor, so he secretly betrothed the extremely talented and beautiful Princess Yingxue to him.

The two were childhood sweethearts, interested in each other, and were just waiting for the opportunity to get married.

He is both the general of Anguo and the princess's consort. With this status, the whole family is honored.

If that girl is really a member of his family, it's no wonder that he doesn't want to be a concubine.

But the prince's concubine, whether the main concubine or the side concubine, is designed to consolidate the court and win over the powerful ministers. It has nothing to do with personal preferences. How can she be easily promised to a charming and willful little girl?
Moreover, the emperor's brother has regarded Southern Chu as the one in his palm. In the future, the Chu royal family will be the slaves of Dayan.

As the emperor's brother's right-hand man, how could he waste his concubine position when it was revealed that the matchmaker was marrying a slave woman?

"Is there any identity verification?" Fei Shi saw King Chen thinking for a long time, but he didn't expect him to ask suddenly.

After hesitating for a moment, with a hint of guilt for not completing the task properly, he said in a trembling voice: "No! General Anguo's Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are many experts. I am afraid that acting rashly will cause trouble for His Highness."

Murong Chen thought about it and felt that Fei Shi had done a good job.

After all, the most important thing now is to hide his whereabouts. As for everything else, it won't be too late to do it after the official business is completed.

He waved to Fei Shi a little tiredly: "Step back, we will talk about this later."

At night, Murong Chen tossed and turned unable to sleep, so he simply got up and used his fingers aimlessly to pluck the colorful windmill that was wrapped in a piece of black cloth and looked nondescript.

As he turned around, he suddenly remembered that when he first arrived in Yongchun City, Da Sima had told him in a secret conversation that the Princess of Nanchu should not be underestimated, and he had given him two printed copies of the secret memorial that the princess had given to the emperor.

Although he brought it back, he was extremely disdainful.

A mere woman can write anything of value, but it's just some fancy tricks.

However, I couldn't sleep at the moment. I thought of the way the windmill girl with a sweet smile suddenly treated me coldly, and I suddenly became curious about the thoughts of the Chu woman.

Oh, what will the memorial for the Chu woman look like?
Murong Chen took out two wrinkled memorials from the secret compartment at the head of the bed and turned them over casually.

It was okay not to look at it, but the sight of it made me break out in a cold sweat.

What kind of memorial is this? It's clearly "On the Wealth of the Country" and "Strength of the Army"!
The Southern Chu court was corrupt and the border defenses were weak, so it was a good time to attack.

The emperor of Chu is fatuous and the prince is incompetent, so there is no plan to implement such a good strategy until now.

But if the princess gets anxious and joins forces with the powerful officials to enforce it forcefully, then Beiyan may never have a chance again!
Murong Chen couldn't sleep even more, pacing back and forth in the room.

Suddenly he sat down next to the case, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a few big words neatly: Assassinate Princess Yingxue, at all costs!
After tying the note and releasing the carrier pigeon, he felt much relieved.

He rolled his neck and relaxed his muscles, then went back to bed and continued to dream of being with the windmill girl.
