160 Shocking News (1/2)
In the Emperor's study...
A few trusted ministers and generals gathered as they listened to the Crown Princess talk about her plan to sent a few Elite members to enter Eastern Zhou through the waterway and headed to the palace.
The Princess has received some news that most of their general was getting ready near the borders. Therefore, the security around the palace has weakened. If they could capture the Emperor of Eastern Zhou and the rest of their family, their soldier will have no other choice but to surrender.
Although war could not be avoided, at least, they could minimize the casualties with this tactic.
However, the Crown Princess had never mention Lu Wei's involvement in this matter. Only the Emperor and General Jiang knew about the man's relationship. The Crown Princess managed to convince the others by saying that their priorities were to stop Eastern Zhou. Once Eastern Zhou was stopped, Qian Rong will have no way to act.
The discussion between them lasted for hours before the ministers and generals left the Emperor's study. General Jiang and his Elite team were chosen to enter Eastern Zhou while another general was assigned to stay at the front line to protect their border.
”Are you confident that this plan of his going to work?” the Emperor asked once he was left alone with his daughter.
”I trust Lu Wei will do his part and Qian Rong will retreat from Eastern Zhou. This plan has got to work,” Princess Lingchen said. ”Everything depends on it.”
The Emperor sighed. ”You were against the idea of marrying a prince from Western Zhou?”

Princess Lingchen thought about it for a while. She was indifferent towards marrying the prince or anyone. After all, her duty as the Crown Princess topped any other matters. That was what she was taught since she was young and what she believed.
”No.” Princess Lingchen said. ”But I do hope that we can win this war without relying on others. If we could win this without this marriage agreement, others will respect us more.”
The Emperor laughed as she heard her words. After a few seconds, his laughter disappeared. The Emperor looked at the Princess with a serious look on his face. ”However, your wedding has been long overdue. I will talk to your mother and let her arrange something. Da Cheng could not go on without an heir. If we keep delaying this matter, others will only find a chance to harm us.”
The Princess bowed. ”I understand. I will follow your arrangement.”
The Crown Princess spent a few more minutes to talk with the Emperor before she left. Once she returned to her room, Princess Lingchen caught sight of a small bird on her window. She held the bird in her palm and untied the small note on the bird's leg. A small smile curved on her lips as she read the letter from Lu Wei.
