Liu Yaoyao felt speechless as she spoke. No matter how widely the reputation of Prince Rong as a sickly man spread, as long as he announced the news of his marriage, even if the ladies of prominent status were unwilling to marry, there would be many poor ladies willing to be Prince Rong's concubines.

If there wasn't even a poor noble lady, the emperor, as a good uncle, would not let Prince Rong stay single forever.

He would definitely personally select a well-educated, virtuous and considerate lady to marry Prince Rong, but he did not expect that Prince Rong was only concerned with keeping a concubine and did not even think of this.

"I also wanted to deceive the emperor." Prince Rong explained himself weakly.

When Liu Yaoyao heard this explanation, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise. Why is Prince Rong so afraid of the emperor?

The emperor had been very kind to him before. If the queen had not died, the emperor would have started to purge the court.

Prince Rong might still be pretending to be sick in Luoyang City at this time.

As her thoughts turned, Liu Yaoyao said calmly, "Since we've talked about this, we have to find a way to solve it. We can't delay it any longer. Otherwise, if someone uses your mistress as an excuse, you won't be able to explain yourself even if you jump into the Yellow River."

The matter of the concubine can be a big deal or a small one. After all, to put it in a big way, Prince Rong had the intention of rebellion from the very beginning, which is why he did not marry or have children openly, but secretly had a lot of children.

According to previous novels, Prince Rong was narrow-minded, which was why he was on guard against the emperor, or perhaps the emperor was narrow-minded, which scared Prince Rong so much that he didn't even dare to marry.

However, no matter which situation is spread, Prince Rong's reputation will be blemish, which will make some pedantic scholars unhappy.

Although Liu Yaoyao hoped that Prince Rong's reputation would be in jeopardy, she couldn't do that at the moment. She could only suppress that thought and let Prince Rong make the situation even more chaotic.

"But who is willing to marry me now?" Prince Rong had never thought much about getting a wife, but now that it was brought up, he became a little anxious when thinking about his future status.

After all, he could gain a lot of benefits by marrying a woman whose family was powerful.

However, the situation in Luoyang was critical, and the powerful nobles either found ways to make arrangements for their families or joined forces to protect their families.

His shouting at the emperor outside probably not only won the hearts of these people, but also made them discuss some things in private.

A few days passed, and they didn't try to find me. Maybe they were still willing to be loyal to the emperor and didn't want to give up.

When Prince Rong thought of this, his face turned pale and blue, looking very ugly.

"We can first find a way to occupy a city, and then spread the news that you want to marry a wife. I think by that time you won't need to do anything much, and a powerful or even wealthy wife family will come to you."

Liu Yaoyao saw that Prince Rong looked unhappy and knew what he was thinking.

She also felt that it would be difficult for Prince Rong to marry at this moment. After all, he was a rebel at the time, unless his hope of winning could be seen by others.

The hope of winning is not so easy to obtain, but we can find ways to create it.

Liu Yaoyao thought for a while and felt that if Prince Rong occupied the city, no matter how loyal the nobles around the emperor were, they would have to make other preparations for their family. Prince Rong could then sit at home and wait for these people to come to him.

"Just do as you say." Prince Rong thought that this was the right thing to do, and immediately perked up, "Which city do you think is suitable for me to occupy?"

When Prince Rong said this, his eyes kept scanning the map, but he felt that everywhere was suitable and he didn't know how to choose.

Liu Yaoyao looked at Xinzhou for a long time, then pointed her finger at Meizhou.

Prince Rong did not miss her previous look. When he saw her choose Meizhou, he immediately frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Xinzhou is strategically located. If we choose Xinzhou, even if the emperor traps us there, we can be self-sufficient and find a way to fight back against the emperor."

"That's what I thought before, but I overlooked one problem, that is, Xinzhou is close to Qingzhou. As far as I know, the prince is trapped in Qingzhou right now." Liu Yaoyao explained for King Rong.

"I know, but Tu Yuanzhou is not a pushover. The prince won't be able to hold on for long." Prince Rong was full of confidence.

Liu Yaoyao emphasized: "Tu Yuanzhou is the grandson of Prince Mingde. He defected to the enemy country and then led the enemy country to attack his own country. I'm afraid he has already abandoned his identity and regarded himself as an enemy countryman."

"If the prince can't hold out in Qingzhou for long, he might take his men to Xinzhou. If you choose to go there, won't you be confronting the prince directly?"

"Your Highness Prince Rong, I know you have made sufficient preparations and have time to waste with the Crown Prince, but Tu Yuanzhou will not take you seriously. He may just abandon some people to conquer Xinzhou and capture you and the Crown Prince in one fell swoop."

"Meizhou is different. It is close to the South China Sea, and as far as I know there are many islands in the sea. If the situation is out of control, you can still take people out to sea."

What Liu Yaoyao said was exactly right, and the expression on her face seemed like she was considering Prince Rong.

Prince Rong naturally pondered her words carefully, and soon nodded and said, "Let's choose Meizhou."

Liu Yaoyao curled her lips slightly, then lowered them, and said calmly: "Meizhou is not far from Luoyang City, and didn't you transport the grain from Luoyang City before? Even if the emperor has made all the preparations, without the grain support, he can only be a skilled cook without rice."

Having said this, she deliberately glanced at Prince Rong.

Seeing that he frowned as if thinking about something, she said meaningfully: "So when you occupy Meizhou, the emperor might starve to death."

Prince Rong's eyelids twitched when he heard this. Is it possible that the emperor died in such a miserable way?

When Prince Rong thought about the emperor's miserable death, he felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

He couldn't hold back his emotions and said excitedly: "You are absolutely right, let's act quickly."

Now that the suggestion has been given, Liu Yaoyao naturally has to get Prince Rong to take action, otherwise how can she help her master achieve his goal.

With a plan in mind, Liu Yaoyao racked her brains to help Prince Rong, and it wasn't long before Prince Rong took action.

His actions were very secretive, and no one would know what he was doing unless someone was watching him.

Yu Yao deliberately walked to the foot of the mountain before returning to the thatched cottage where Chen Xiyun and her two siblings were staying.

"How is it? Is anyone watching you this time?" Chen Xiyun asked worriedly when he saw Yu Yao coming back.

"There are still people watching me, but Prince Rong seems to have something important to do, so there are a lot fewer people watching me this time." Yu Yao said her discovery.

Chen Xiyun said with a sad face: "After Prince Rong brought us here, he threw us here like weeds. We thought we could take the opportunity to sneak away, but we never thought he would send people to keep an eye on us."

"He's such a weird guy. He clearly said he wanted to use us, so why doesn't he just start taking action?"

Yu Yao reached out and held her hand, then sighed and said, "Something happened in Luoyang City. Prince Rong is afraid of death and naturally has no time to take care of us."

She thought that Prince Rong had been staying with a woman named Liu Yaoyao these days, so she suspected that today's commotion was also related to this woman.

"Xiyun, perhaps it won't be long before we are taken away from here."
