Chapter 441 - Ten Years to Mold a SwordChapter 441: Ten Years to Mold a Sword
Chu Liuyue naturally didn’t know what Rong Xiu was thinking.
His hot breath on her neck and behind her ears made her ticklish.
The gentle breeze blew over, and the leaves rustled.
Chu Liuyue could not help but ask, “Your Highness, since… When did you start planning all of this?”
Rong Xiu’s low voice sounded beside her ear. “Um, pretty early on… When did Third Brother go to the Northwest Army?”
His tone was slow and nonchalant as if it was just a minor matter. However, Chu Liuyue was shocked as she suddenly pushed him.
She looked back, and her pair of black, gem-like eyes stared at Rong Xiu in disbelief. “You mean… He didn’t voluntarily go there in the first place—”
Chu Liuyue’s words suddenly cut off. A ridiculous thought surfaced in her mind.

No matter if it was when the Empress and the Crown Prince decided to bully him and force him to enlist, when he achieved so many accolades and shocked everyone, or to him being driven to the corner… All of this was clearly part of Rong Xiu’s plan!
However… it is dangerous to raise a tiger!
Now, Rong Jiu had to deal with Emperor Jiawen, but it would be Rong Xiu in the end!
Chu Liuyue’s heart was in turmoil as she couldn’t help but ask, “You’re the one who told His Majesty that the Third Prince wants to start a revolt…?”
Rong Xiu’s expression changed. “You’ve underestimated Father. Since Third Brother did this, how can Father not know? I don’t have too much of a relation to this.”
“The Third Prince doesn’t know about this?”
Rong Xiu raised his saber-like eyebrows. “What do you think, Yue’er?”
“The 5,000 elites from the Northwest Army are going to reach the Imperial City soon.” Rong Xiu gently touched Chu Liuyue’s soft waist and nonchalantly said, “As for when they’re going to fight… We’ll have to watch Father and Third Brother.”
Chu Liuyue put her hand down and looked at him with her eyes wide open. “Isn’t all of this according to your wishes?”
At this point in time, everything was controlled by Rong Xiu.
Rong Xiu softly laughed. “If I didn’t hear wrongly, you’re praising me?”
Chu Liuyue: “…”
But looking at Rong Xiu, he actually didn’t seem to care.
Looking at her face filled with confusion and shock, Rong Xiu smiled and finally said, “Don’t worry. Lord Chu Ning will bring a group of people and leave the Imperial City to check on something. When the imperial guards and the Northwest Army fight, Lord Chu Ning will not be implicated.”
“Your Highness… Aren’t you worried that I’ll tell someone else about this?” asked Chu Liuyue as she knitted her brows.
Rong Xiu looked at her rather strangely as if she asked a very stupid question. “Which woman in this world would push the man she deeply loves to danger?”
“You… I—” Chu Liuyue stuttered, and her usually sharp tongue seemed to be tangled.
After some time, she finally decided to give up and stop harping on the matter. However, she still had a question that was the weirdest and the most important. “Your Highness, why are you doing this?”

One was his father, and the other was his brother. They shared the same blood flowing through their bodies.
Rong Xiu’s actions were akin to stirring up a conflict between Emperor Jiawen and Rong Jiu.
A war was about to break out. No matter who won or lost, what did it mean to Rong Xiu?
Rong Xiu thought for a while and chuckled. “Oh, I just thought it was rather troublesome to fight, so I found someone to do it for me.”
Chu Liuyue actually wanted to ask about it, but for some reason, she had a strong instinct that told her not to.
An extremely light smile flashed across Rong Xiu’s eyes, and they were filled with an indescribable suppression as he slowly said, “Yue’er, who do you think formed the connection between Third Brother and the Northwest Army and also gave him the final confidence to make his decision?”
“Naturally… It’s my subordinate.”
…
Emperor Jiawen gathered the officials as they discussed how to deal with Rong Jiu.
After some intense debate, they finally came to a conclusion: Third Prince Rong Jiu is unfilial and harmed the Empress when Emperor Jiawen entrusted him with taking care of her. He even tried to burn her body to get rid of the evidence. His actions aw immoral and cannot be tolerated. Hence, he will be punished.
He will be executed in the afternoon!
