The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 626: well thought out
Chapter 626 Think carefully
“Father, please don’t think that I am only holding a grudge, so I want you to divide your forces to kill Bai Qingyan! I really think that Bai Qingyan might mess up your plans. More importantly…if Bai Qingyan dies now, the Grand Princess will definitely put the blame on Prince Xin and won’t doubt us. It will be a win-win for us.”
Doesn’t the idle prince know his daughter? It’s obvious that he is just seeking revenge.
“Okay, okay, you don’t have to worry about this. Father has already sent people to keep an eye on the Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion. This morning, apart from sending someone back to Shuoyang to deliver a message of safety, Bai Qingyan has not left the city. Don’t worry! If Bai Qingyan makes any unusual moves, father will definitely kill her for you. But if we take action against Bai Qingyan now, and if she manages to escape, it will be detrimental to our overall plan! Our goal is to let you sit on the throne of queen. The overall situation is more important!” Prince Xian said to Liu Ruofu earnestly.
Liu Ruofu bit her lip and frowned.
Prince Xian’s personal attendant trotted into the main hall, clasped his fists with Prince Xian and said, “Your Majesty, Prince Liang has arrived!”
When Liu Ruofu heard the name “King Liang”, she felt disgusted. She threw away her handkerchief and turned away, not wanting to see King Liang’s cowardly appearance.
Prince Xian shook his head at his daughter’s back and said, “Please invite Prince Liang to the main hall.”
Liu Ruofu walked around the corner, paused, and said to her personal maid with her hands covering her lips: “Go and invite General Xiao Wang!”
“Yes!” Liu Ruofu’s personal maid responded and left in a hurry.
The maid knew very well that General Wang was General Wang’s eldest son, and he had been in love with Princess Liu Ruofu since childhood. He originally wanted to propose marriage to her after he had made military achievements, but who knew… Liu Ruofu would end up marrying King Liang.
Before, when General Wang brought General Little Wang to the capital city and said they wanted to attend Liu Ruofu’s wedding, General Little Wang met with Liu Ruofu in private and said that King Liang was cowardly and not worthy of Liu Ruofu, and wanted to take Liu Ruofu away.
Later, General Xiao Wang learned that Prince Xian had arranged the Southern Capital Army to enter the capital city in batches in order to support Prince Liang to ascend the throne and make Liu Ruofu the queen. Only then did he give up the idea of eloping with Liu Ruofu.
Now Liu Ruofu is looking for General Xiao Wang again, probably to ask General Xiao Wang to kill Princess Zhenguo for her.
As expected, after Liu Ruofu waited for General Xiao Wang, she told him to lead his troops to the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion without telling her father… and to kill the Princess Zhenguo.
Although the young general was in love with Liu Ruofu, he was not completely stupid. He hesitated for fear that it would ruin the plan of the idle king. Liu Ruofu said, “Don’t forget, there are 20,000 Anping troops outside the city. Princess Zhenguo is a good leader. In these battles, she won with fewer troops. My father despises women, but I can’t let this go wrong! If there is a mistake, not only my father, me and the king of Liang will die, but also the generals and uncles who are loyal to my father. These uncles who have watched me grow up since I was a child are like my relatives!”
Liu Ruofu’s eyes turned red as she spoke. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and looked at General Xiao Wang steadily: “So, I can only ask you to help me with this matter! If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. I will just go and die together with Bai Qingyan, so that… this evil creature in my belly will not be born.”
“My lord, you can’t do that!” General Xiao Wang’s delicate features turned pale, and he said hurriedly, “I will listen to what you say, and I will definitely get this done. Don’t worry, my lord!”
Liu Ruofu then stopped crying and bowed to General Xiao Wang: “Then I’ll leave everything to General Xiao Wang!”
After General Xiao Wang returned, he did not rush to lead his troops to the Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion. Instead, he went to the front hall… While Prince Xian was calling Prince Liang to the study to discuss business, he told his father what Liu Ruofu had asked him to do.
General Wang thought about it and agreed to his son’s request: “You know that you have feelings for the princess, but remember to keep them in your heart. The princess will be the queen in the future, and it’s good that you have solved the problem for the princess! The road ahead… will be more stable than your father’s! Go… Be careful! Don’t let the people in the Princess Zhenguo Mansion escape!”
“My son has just arrived in the capital city and is unfamiliar with the place, so… he wants to pretend to be Prince Xin and act like someone else. This way, Prince Xian won’t be exposed. Even if someone escapes from the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion, it will not affect our plan!” said General Xiao Wang.
“My son, you have thought it through. Go ahead!” General Wang patted his son on the shoulder. “The Zhenguo Princess has a Sun-shooting Bow, and her arrows never miss their target. You must be careful. Don’t underestimate the enemy just because she is a woman! The Bai Family Guards are all retired from the Bai Family Army. They are not easy to deal with!”
“Son understands!”
After General Xiao Wang responded, he turned and walked out of the yard.

Everyone in the capital city knew that Bi Heng led the imperial guards to attack the imperial palace today, and the common people hid in their homes and dared not go out.
The women and men of noble families gathered together and did not dare to leave the house easily.
The officials who were going to attend the morning court changed into their official uniforms, but hid in their mansions, asking guards to guard the gates to prevent any accidents. They also gathered the women and children in the deepest part of each courtyard. Some families even hid their children in secret rooms.
The second wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Mrs. Liu, was awakened by the noise. She originally wanted to go to Changshouyuan, but when she heard that the eldest princess had entered the palace last night without notifying anyone, she was undecided and came to Qinghuiyuan.
Coincidentally, the seventh girl, Bai Jinse, also came to Bai Qingyan’s yard.
Second Madam Liu was feeling uneasy: “Why are they attacking the palace when everything is fine?”
“Prince Xin claimed that it was the prince who plotted to harm the emperor and wanted to kill the emperor to ascend the throne. The prince claimed… Prince Xin plotted to harm the emperor and wanted to kill the emperor and then kill the prince to ascend the throne. So the two sides started fighting!” Bai Qingyan tried his best to explain the situation in a way that Second Madam Liu could understand.
“This…will this affect us? Why not bring Jinxiu, Wangge’er and Qin Lang to our house! If we get together, we’ll be braver!” Liu clutched her handkerchief, feeling very panicked.
“Second aunt, you don’t have to worry. I have asked Uncle Ping to tell Jinxiu not to leave the house. This time, Prince Xin and the Crown Prince are fighting for the throne. They will not kill innocent people in the capital. After all… the current ministers are loyal to their Lin family. Who among them would like to have a reputation of being a brutal killer who kills officials’ families before ascending to the throne?” Bai Qingyan comforted Liu.
Bai Qingyan’s words made sense, and Liu could understand them, but her daughter, grandson, and son-in-law were not around, and such a big thing had happened, so how could she be assured of their safety?
“Besides…” Bai Qingyan’s eyes gleamed darkly, “My house is probably more dangerous than the Qin’s house! It’s better not to let Wang Ge’er and Jinxiu come back!”
“Prince Xin might think of the 20,000 Anping troops outside the city and be afraid that my elder sister will lead the troops out of the city to reinforce the prince… and send someone to kill my elder sister?” Bai Jinse clenched her fists and suddenly felt a chill on her back.
