Chapter 996: The Ninth Princess ‘Limit, One for One

Those political opponents were also useless. They could only watch Zhang Ronghua become stronger and stronger, but they had no choice.

“You…” Li Chengfeng guessed.

The latter part of his sentence was too important and he did not say it.

“Du Chengming is collecting evidence of Zhang Ronghua’s crimes and even creating false evidence,” the Ninth Princess said, confirming his guess.

“Sigh!” Li Chengfeng instantly aged and sighed helplessly.

Instead of answering, he tried to persuade her.

“It’s not worth it!”

The Ninth Princess shook her head, her smile growing wider and wider. She reached out her hand and smoothed out her bangs.” Great Shang can continue without me, but the Xia Dynasty will not be able to improve without Zhang Ronghua. It will be easy to clean it up if it returns to its previous level.”

He voiced out his guess.

“This Queen is afraid that this is not the only thing he knows. If he is so terrifying in military matters, or even more terrifying, once the strength of the Xia army increases, even if it is only by 10%, it will be a disaster for our Great Shang. The number of casualties will be even greater.”

Li Chengfeng fell silent. He thought of Zhang Ronghua’s background, the Imperial Army. When he was transferred from the Eastern Palace to the Scholar’s Hall, everyone had thought he was a joke and thought he couldn’t do it. In the end, his actions proved that he did very well. Then he was transferred to the Ministry of Works and the Imperial Censorate. He was like a jack of all trades, and he knew everything.

He didn’t dare to gamble! Once they made a wrong bet, it would be an abyss for Great Shang’s soldiers.

The Ninth Princess said,” Even if we send a message back now and ask my father to choose a suitable person, we don’t have to worry about whether it will succeed. Even if the person arrives, with their methods, they won’t succeed even if they sacrifice themselves.”

The two of them were silent and speechless. They were almost convinced.

If they had a choice, be it assassination or threats, Great Shang would spare no effort. But Zhang Ronghua had the protection of experts, he was like a porcupine with nowhere to attack.

Right now, he hadn’t grown up yet. When he gained more power and displayed his abilities, it wouldn’t be too much to say that it would be the end of Great Shang.

Under normal circumstances, it was indeed a loss for a princess to exchange for a third-grade official!

However, if the other party could threaten the dynasty, and it was a fatal threat, or even destruction, it would be a huge gain.

After all, there was more than one princess, but people with extraordinary abilities were rare in every era. Sometimes, there was not even one.

Although Li Chengfeng and the Sixth Prince valued Zhang Ronghua a lot, they didn’t value him to this extent. After being named by the Ninth Princess, the more they thought about it, the more frightened they were. This kid couldn’t be kept alive. They had to get rid of him at all costs!

Li Chengfeng stood up and gave the highest military salute. He knelt down on one knee and bowed solemnly.” Your greatness will forever be remembered by the entire Shang. Time cannot erase it. It will be passed down forever!”

” I’ll leave it to you to investigate the mastermind,” the ninth princess said as she stood up and helped him up.

“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best.”

He looked at the Sixth Prince.

” Brother Six!” The Ninth Princess smiled sweetly and called out.

Prince Six was upset. He felt that Great Shang owed his sister a lot. As her brother, he couldn’t help her at all. Now that he had seen his sister lose her life, his heart ached. He thought of the times when they played together when they were young. Every little thing seemed to be vivid in his mind. Now that they had parted, he was afraid that they would never see each other again. His eyes turned red and he tried hard to hold back his tears. He walked over and hugged her in his arms.” I’m useless!”

“Nonsense!” The ninth princess was unhappy.

“You are the best brother in the world. You dote on me, protect me, and don’t let me suffer any grievances. In order to help me get justice, you didn’t hesitate to be punished by father!”

The two of them had heavy hearts and were trying their best to hold back their tears.

Time passed bit by bit.

The Ninth Princess broke the silence,” The outcome is already decided. You can’t delay. Leave immediately and bring along Shuangying. With them around, even if something happens on the way, we can easily resolve it. When we return to Great Shang, tell Father that after Zhang Ronghua falls, spread the news that the Ninth Princess Shang Qingxuan’s old illness has relapsed…” Dead!”

Prince Six knew what this meant. He was afraid that the Xia Dynasty would use her to achieve some goals.

The pain in her heart could no longer be held back. Her tears flowed out uncontrollably like a dam that had been released.

The ninth princess stubbornly held it in, but her eyes were already wet. She looked at the ceiling, not letting her hot tears fall.

Li Chengfeng silently turned around. As the controller of the Primordial Demon God in Great Shang, he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. No matter what, he had to put the big picture first.

After experiencing so many things and seeing so much darkness, her heart had long become cold. She should not be moved by anything, but now, tears had silently appeared. Everyone in Great Shang owed the Ninth Princess!

He looked at the night sky outside.

“It’s time to act,” said the Ninth Princess.
