Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 611: Let Her Attend to Your Bath and Rest!
Zhou Kai Xuan was taken aback. A better idea? What idea?
Honestly, he racked his brain but couldn’t think of any good solution, yet this young man had one?
He looked at Li Qingmu in surprise and cupped his hands, saying, "Please enlighten me, Eldest Young Master."
Li Qingmu turned around, looked at the two of them, and said, "It’s simple. I’ll let you go! If Dazhou treats your families well, then you can safely stay in Shengjing City and carry out other tasks there.
But, if your families’ lives are threatened, you can claim that you are pretending to be loyal to my Daliang, while in reality, you are helping your country steal secrets from Daliang! Thus, it’s a strategy of a spy within a spy!"
Upon hearing this, not only Zhang Liulang and Yang Shiqi were shocked, but even Zhou Kai Xuan was deeply impressed.
This strategy is truly both offensive and defensive!
It appears highly advantageous for these two, but before they could return to Da Zhou Shengjing City, they would have ample time to perform significant actions, secretly orchestrating their operations among Dazhou’s spies to stabilize the situation.
As long as some evidence is fabricated to prove these two have defected to the Daliang Country, Dazhou will surely detain their families. Then, when they return and find their families in grave danger, they will be disillusioned with Dazhou and also furious, leading them to pledge complete loyalty to Daliang.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!
This strategy is truly ingenious!
Zhou Kai Xuan looked at Li Qingmu with admiration, wondering how this young man’s mind worked to come up with such a strategy.
"Captain Zhou, what do you think of this strategy?"
Just as Zhou Kai Xuan was impressed by Li Qingmu’s strategy, Li Qingmu suddenly asked.
Zhou Kai Xuan promptly nodded, "It’s a good plan, truly excellent!"
After saying this, he looked up at the two men and approached them, saying, "This strategy is greatly beneficial to you, so how about taking a gamble?"
Zhang Liulang and Yang Shiqi exchanged glances and saw delight in each other’s eyes.
Prince Mu, worthy of being called Prince Mu, managed to turn the tide with just his silver tongue in such a desperate situation!
In this way, they can shift from a passive state to an active one, comfortably maneuvering between the two countries.
Zhang Liulang put on a thoughtful expression, pondering for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, his facial expressions shifting erratically, finally showing a reluctant demeanor.
"I still don’t believe His Majesty the Emperor would be so heartless. I must return to verify your lies!"
Li Qingmu smiled faintly, "Then go ahead! Guards, release them!"
"Eldest Young Master, this might not be appropriate, right?"
Zhou Kai Xuan felt it was somewhat unreasonable to release them without consulting the Princess at least.
But Li Qingmu simply cast him a cold glance, and in that instant, Zhou Kai Xuan felt a shiver run down his spine.
At that moment, a thought popped into his mind: this Eldest Young Master was no simple character.
People often say, like father, like son—just as the Princess is formidable, it seems the Eldest Young Master is indeed an extraordinary figure too!
"Since my mother has entrusted this matter to me, I’ll decide everything. As for the aftermath, I will personally explain it to her!"
Zhou Kai Xuan was supposedly sent to assist him, but was in fact there to monitor him. Li Qingmu had only one way to break free from being monitored: to appear soft on the inside but strong on the outside!
Be obedient to Rong Si, yet assertive and domineering in front of outsiders!
Only then can he gradually overturn his disadvantages and ultimately free himself from Rong Si’s clutches!
However, this path was destined not to be smooth; there were many things he would have to strive and fight for, even making some sacrifices!
Zhang Liulang and Yang Shiqi were released just like that.
In the Princess’s palace, Li Qingmu knelt on the ground.
Of course, it wasn’t Rong Si that made him kneel, but rather he knelt to admit his mistake as soon as he entered.
"Mother, I know it was wrong to release those two, but I wanted to take a gamble. It was a mistake not to consult you first. Please punish me!"
Zhou Kai Xuan knelt on one knee behind Li Qingmu, feeling utterly frustrated.
He initially thought to report against Li Qingmu as soon as he entered, but was taken aback when this person confessed his mistake right away, nullifying all his prepared accusations.
It was like gathering all one’s strength to punch someone, leaving them half-dead; only to find out that one’s fist had landed on cotton, feeling powerless and helpless.
The key was, this was the Princess’s own son, and being a parent himself, he naturally understood that as a mother, she valued her son most.
So, after Li Qingmu admitted his mistake, he not only couldn’t exaggerate it, but also had to speak well for him on the side.
This was really...
Zhou Kai Xuan felt like thousands of llamas were galloping in his heart.
At the same time, he felt deeply chilled, realizing he truly misjudged this Eldest Young Master; his tactics were too skillful!
"Princess, the Eldest Young Master’s plan was brilliant. I was full of admiration at that time and intended to report back to you for a final decision. But as the saying goes, ’opportunity knocks but once’, and in such matters, it is best to act swiftly. If we dawdled, it would arouse suspicion on the other side."
Zhou Kai Xuan said, which was what Li Qingmu had discussed with him on the way back. He found it very reasonable.
Now that he voiced it, he felt even more amazed internally.
To think that this Eldest Young Master had already figured out how to excuse himself from the Princess’s punishment?
Such mentality, such skill—truly admirable! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Zhou Kai Xuan felt an inner excitement; if someone like this fully supported the Princess, Daliang’s grand endeavors would surely come to fruition!
Earlier, he had spoken for Li Qingmu with reluctance, but at this moment, he was willing to serve him sincerely.
Rong Si looked at her son kneeling on the ground with a gentle gaze.
As a strong woman, she naturally favored gentler individuals.
Li Qingmu had grasped her thoughts, so he always behaved obediently, adding an air of innocence before her.
Thus, it indeed made Rong Si lower her guard against him and increase her affection.
Rong Si slowly rose, came to Li Qingmu’s side, and helped him up, "My son, you handled this matter correctly. Where is the fault? People must gamble sometimes. If one takes life step by step, it would be too dull."
Li Qingmu looked up in surprise, joy filling his face, "Mother, you are not angry at me for making decisions on my own?"
Rong Si gazed at her son’s handsome face and pinched his cheek, "How could I blame you? In your mother’s eyes, my son is the best. How could I hold a grudge? Alright, Zhi Jin, take the Eldest Young Master to rest!"
"Yes, Princess!"
A woman walked out from the side, slowly approaching Li Qingmu.
Li Qingmu was dumbfounded, "Mother, this person..."
A feeling of unease suddenly surged in his heart.
"This is Zhi Jin, my close confidant. I now bestow her to you, to assist you in bathing and resting properly."
Immediately, Li Qingmu’s expression turned extremely unpleasant!
