Zongyu knew Fu Shangyuan was right.

It's understandable that he would do this, but it's infuriating when your weakness is used as leverage against you.

Fang Jinshi said, "Your Majesty doesn't actually have much confidence in this battle against Xixia, does he"

Fu Shangyuan's brows furrowed. "This is none of your concern, woman."

"Or are you also capable of leading troops into battle"

Fang Jinshi smiled. "How could a woman like me go to war But I have a plan here. If successful, it can avoid the loss of too many soldiers from Daxixi, reduce casualties and shorten the length of the war."

Fu Shangyuan might not be a good person, but he was definitely an emperor who had the country, the people, and the world in his heart. Hearing Fang Jinshu say this, he immediately put aside his suspicion and prejudice towards her, letting her speak directly.

As far as I know, the Xi Xia court is not united and stable. The Xi Xia king is old, and now Herle, his heir apparent, is also dead. There will surely be infighting within the Xi Xia royal family over the succession.

Even if they send troops to Daxixi, it's not certain that they will wholeheartedly fight.

"If we divide our forces now, with Ayu leading a contingent to face the enemy directly, while another force stealthily infiltrates the Xixia capital and stirs up internal strife among their royal family, this war will naturally be short-lived for them."

"Though possessing a million soldiers, men's hearts are not united. They are but loose sand. With A's abilities, it is only a matter of time before he defeats them."

The two men present both lit up when they heard this, they hadn't expected Fang Jinshu to have such wisdom.

Fu Shangyuan shouted a hearty "Good!"

"What a brilliant move, cutting off the enemy's supply line."

Let them cause chaos within Xixia, with fires burning in their backyard. Naturally, the Xixia king will have no time to attend to the war on the front lines.

"Only this team venturing into Xixia is crucial; inciting chaos within the imperial court is not something just anyone can accomplish."

Fu Shangyuan sensed that Fang Jinshi must have a complete plan in mind already.

As soon as he finished asking, Fang Jinshu continued to speak, and she even had the follow-up planned out.

Those who incite rebellion, both men and women, have already been prepared by Your Majesty.

She told him about A Sheng's background. Zong Yu, who was listening beside her, was stunned. Jin Xiu had actually kept such a big thing from him

"You actually hid the Western Xia prince in your manor for so long." Fu Shangyuan's eyes twitched involuntarily after hearing this. What on earth was Fang Jinxiu trying to do

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"From the day my wife learned about Ah Yu's true origins, she knew that the imperial family of Da Xi could never accept him. There was no other choice."

"Our family has never had any rebellious intentions, we just want to survive."

Although Fu Shangyuan's expression was cold, he still accepted Fang Jinshi's explanation.

If it were him, he would definitely have planned his escape route long ago.

"How can you be sure that boy will definitely ascend the throne of Xixia"

Fang Jinshi was speechless. “No one in this world can guarantee 100% success.”

"But Your Majesty, are there any other better options"

Fu Shangyuan was speechless at Fang Jinxiu's words.

"Unlike Herelle, Ashen has no powerful clan backing him to secure his position. If Your Majesty helps him ascend the throne, just stabilizing his footing would take him many years."

"With this favor added, even if Ah Sheng grows ambitions later on and becomes more ruthless, that would be many years from now."

But Dah Hee could gain this precious time to recuperate.

"As emperors, Your Majesty wouldn't be lacking the confidence to surpass a mere boy, would you"

If this plan is successful, Dahxi and Xixia will usher in a long period of peace, and the people of both countries can live a peaceful and stable life and develop their economies.

If the plan is put into action quickly, we might not even have to fight a war.

Of course, the latter is only Fang Jinshi's ideal state. It is by no means an easy task to help A Sheng seize the throne of Xixia.

Fu Shangyuan was deeply moved by Jinxiu's proposal.

"Stop using goading tactics on me, I'm not falling for it."

Fang Jinshi curled her lips, only she knew whether she would eat or not.

"So, have you found someone to go to Xixia"

Suddenly, Zong Yu realized something and stood up to block Fang Jinxiu's way.

She can't go.

Infiltrating the Western Xia kingdom to help a nameless, powerless prince seize power, what's the difference from walking straight onto a knife's edge Jinxiu doesn't even know anyone in the Western Xia.

How can this be done

He would rather die in battle than let her take this risk.

Fang Jinshu knew what Zong Yu was worried about. Before Fu Shangyuan could speak, she reached out and placed her hand on Zong Yu's arm, shaking it gently.

"Don't worry, I've made all the necessary preparations and won't let anything happen to myself."

She playfully winked at Zongyu, didn't Ah Yu forget she still had the Lingquan space to hide in.

If the plan went awry, she could hide in the space to avoid pursuit and then return to Da Xi.

The worst outcome, is that Da Xi collapses and they all move into the space.

But if it succeeds, it could save the lives of millions of civilians and soldiers, ushering in peace between the two nations. Isn't this what Ah Yu desires

Even though Zongyu understood the gleam in Jinxiu's eyes, knowing she still had a trump card to save her life, he still didn't want to let her go into danger.

As her husband, he couldn't protect her, and to top it off, he even made his daughter-in-law risk her own safety to protect him. Zong Yu felt utterly incompetent.

"Fang Jinshu, I underestimated you before."

After hearing Fang Jinshu's plan, Fu Shangyuan completely changed his opinion of the woman in front of him.

She could have stayed safely in the palace, waiting even if Daxie lost the battle. She would still have a comfortable life.

If she were to take the path of executing a mission in Xixia, she would face countless dangers. Let alone good days, even her life would be hanging by a thread, living in fear every day.

"Do you know what going to Xixia means"

Fang Jinshu acted boldly in front of Fu Shangyuan. She tightly held Zong Yu's hand, interlocking fingers with him and gazing into each other's eyes.

Of course I know.

"I and Ah Yu, husband and wife as one."

"It makes no sense that he's out there risking his life and blood for our country, while I, as his wife, can help but sit here idly by."

"I can't do it."

Although she was answering Fu Shangyuan's question, these words sounded more like they were directed at Zong Yu.

Zongyu rarely showed his inner emotions on his face, but at this moment, he couldn't hold back his excitement. Looking into his wife's resolute eyes, he felt that his life was complete.

Even if he died on the battlefield the next second, his life would have been worthwhile.

Fang Jinshu was just like having mind reading skills, instantly understanding Zong Yu's expression on his face, and immediately said.

"We all have to live to see this through. Didn't you promise me that after settling matters in the capital, we would go into seclusion together in Xizhou, living a life apart from the world"

"What's said must be done, so we all have to live well."

Zongyu nodded solemnly.

Fu Shangyu was speechless. The originally serious conversation had been turned into a scene of a large-scale dog food feeding by this couple.

Is it his wife's death that caused him to act this wayy people around Yuan Xiangli. It was then that Zongpingchuan finally spoke up."Jinxiu, just let her go.""I know I've wronged you all. You've made quite a scene, and Madam Yuan has lost all face. It's...
