"Etc!"
Just as everyone was about to leave to learn more, Lin Rusong called them back.
Everyone was taken aback. Could something serious have happened?
Lin Rusong glanced at everyone, nodded solemnly, and said earnestly, "Since my son possesses the bearing of an emperor, he naturally needs a perfect and virtuous wife. It seems I must make arrangements for him."
puff!
Everyone burst into laughter; the prince was truly playing both father and mother, worrying himself sick and overwhelmed.
Having worried about the war, now they're worrying about marriage.
Now Wang Ziwen was also interested. He said excitedly, "The young master is a genius with unlimited potential. This wife must be carefully considered and there can be no problems whatsoever."
She could potentially become empress; we cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.
"Should we ask the emperor for a princess?" Xu Zhong suggested.
"Pooh!"
Lin Rusong spat and said irritably, " Li Anlan's beautiful daughters have all married off, and the rest are all ugly and unattractive. How could they be worthy of my son!"
Forehead!
Several black lines appeared on everyone's foreheads. What the prince said made no sense. The emperor had several daughters who were all stunningly beautiful, but the prince had described them as ugly. This was somewhat due to the emperor's influence.
At this moment, Lin Rusong thought of someone, his eyes lit up, and he laughed, "Haha, I do have someone in mind, but I don't know if that old geezer is willing!"
"Who?" Wang Ziwen asked curiously.
" Wang Yining!"
"What?"
Upon hearing the name, Wang Ziwen had no reaction, but Xu Zhong was unwilling.
He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the Heir Apparent sent us intelligence that Wang Yining is the person behind the Wafting Fragrance Pavilion and also a pawn of Li Anlan. Although you haven't dealt with him, you can't send his daughter to the Heir Apparent's side!"
They had received information from Lin Yi earlier, but out of consideration, they did not take action against Wang Yining. Instead, they kept giving out false information to deceive Li Anlan, which was also a way to create some trouble for him.
But to everyone's surprise, the prince wanted to send Wang Yining's daughter to the heir apparent's side. This was definitely adding another bomb to the heir apparent's life.
"Hahaha, she's just a woman. My son can even defeat Tuoba Yu, so how could he not subdue a woman? As long as he marries Wang Yining's daughter, no matter how tough that old geezer is, his Wang Clan's power will have to be used by my son!" Lin Rusong sneered.
Upon hearing this explanation, everyone suddenly realized that the prince was after the Wang Clan of Shuzhong. This...
"That might work!" Wang Ziwen's eyes lit up, and she immediately became interested.
The Wang Clan of Shuzhong Great Ning, with more than 100,000 members. They control the entire Bashu silk business and also have a huge faction in the Great Ning officialdom. If they get help, Northern Liang will have more support.
If the Wang Clan of Shuzhong, it would be of immense help. But the question is, would that old fox Wang Yining be willing?
The Wang Clan of Shuzhong is located in the southwest, which is all Li Anlan's territory. If they are implicated, this branch of the Wang clan will suffer heavy losses. Such danger is not something the old fox can tolerate.
Lin Rusong looked at the letter in his hand and sneered, "Many things are beyond our control. Since that old fox Wang Yining has gotten involved, she shouldn't expect to escape unscathed. If she can't even bear to part with one daughter, how can she accomplish anything great?"
"Um, Your Highness..." Han Song suddenly hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Lin Rusong glanced at him, annoyed. "Just say what you have to say, stop beating around the bush!"
"Your Highness, Wang Yining's daughter seems to be the future Crown Princess. Although it hasn't been mentioned since Wang Yining was demoted, the engagement seems to still be in effect!" Han Song whispered.
Upon hearing this, everyone realized the problem and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time; it really was a problem.
"How did you know?" Wang Ziwen looked at him strangely. How did this kid know so much?
Han Song chuckled dryly, "Grand Steward, have you forgotten? When the young master was playing with that Wang Zitao, he even had designs on that Wang Zijin. But that woman was incredibly arrogant, saying she was the future Crown Princess, which made the young master lose face."
"Damn it, now that you mention it, it has to be her! This girl dares to look down on my son. Now she'll know what it means to be a dragon among men! We Northern Liang people must snatch the Crown Prince's woman and make her our concubine!" Lin Rusong said angrily.
So this is what happened after all. You were so arrogant before, but today I'll make sure you can't even be worthy of my son.
You can't be my legal wife anymore, you can be my concubine.
Forehead!
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. The prince was being far too kind to the heir; was this something to hold a grudge against?
Lin Rusong arrived at the Wang Clan soon and even took the initiative to present his visiting card. This made Wang Yining not dare to be negligent in the slightest and personally welcome Lin Rusong into the mansion!
Such a grand display must have some ulterior motive; they're up to no good!
"Haha, I was wondering why there were magpies calling today. It turns out we have a distinguished guest!" Wang Yining looked at Lin Rusong, who had no expression on his face, and his heart was filled with anxiety.
This person is ruthless; they can turn on you in an instant.
Did they sense something and come here to unleash their fury?
The steward on the side also felt a jolt in his heart. When Wafting Fragrance Pavilion was investigated before, they felt that disaster was imminent, but in the end, nothing came of it, which gave them a glimmer of hope.
But now that he's back, he's starting to feel uneasy. This guy wiped out Wafting Fragrance Pavilion completely; if he did the same in the Prince's mansion, his whole family would be in chaos.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Lin Rusong suddenly chuckled and said quietly, "Well done, Wang Yining, you actually guessed that I have good news. It seems your information network is quite impressive!"
These words were quite meaningful, and Wang Yining's expression changed drastically in an instant. This information was highly suspicious.
Does this old man really doubt himself?
Snap!
A letter was placed in Wang Yining's hands by Lin Rusong. It was the battle report that he had had modified, which was now even more exaggerated and even deified his son.
Wang Yining glanced at it and his face immediately turned green.
This is fucking outrageous! It's practically a myth.
Seeing the devastation in Ningchuan Commandery, Lin Yi, the Lin Yi Xiliang, had a flash of inspiration. Following instructions, he entered Great Yu Mountain and ultimately conquered the White Horse Tribe single-handedly!
[Then, an army of 80,000 stormed into Ningchuan Commandery, instantly shattering Tuoba Yu's defenses. Looking at the imposing figure of the Xiliang Liang governor, Tuoba Yu felt ashamed and fled in disarray!]
[Prefect Lin Yi's fame spread All Under Heaven, attracting men from Great Ning to flock to him, instantly swelling his army to fifteen thousand strong. He then swept through the 120,000-strong allied army of Tuoba Yu and Tuoba Qingsong, becoming renowned All Under Heaven!]
