The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #47

The news of Lin Yao participating in the battle at the southern border was heard by mistress Xia, the queen and also the emperor.

Madam Xia who initially did not know that Lin Yao was at war felt extremely shocked, and was currently sitting limply inside her room.

"Lin'er, why is he going there?" Madame Xia.

"Mrs calm yourself. Now that the young lady and all the troops of prince Rong and the 3rd prince have exited the capital, we can only pray for their victory and safety." Aunt Hong said.

Madam Xia wiped her tears, she felt extremely worried. Because all this time she had never seen Lin Yao train, and all she knew was that Lin Yao was a weak woman.

"Lin'er." Madame Xia.

Aunt Hong and Feng Ying continued to calm mistress Xia inside her room.

"Li Wei's." Said the Zhiping queen who had just arrived.

"Your Majesty the queen." Said Feng Ying and aunt Hong simultaneously while saluting.

"Her Majesty the queen, Lin'er...." Madame Xia.

The queen immediately went inside the room and sat down next to Madam Xia.

"Please calm yourself, I'm sure Prince Rong will protect her. They'll be fine." The queen's words calmed Lady Xia.

"Lin'er, she's just an ordinary woman. But how did he get into that war?"

The queen who understood mistress Xia's feelings, clasped the hand of mistress Xia who was trembling from worry for her daughter.

"They'll be fine, and they'll definitely win the war. Prince Rong wouldn't let Lin Yao get hurt." Queen's speech.

Madam Xia could only cry, not knowing what else to say.

Everyone did not expect, if the Yu kingdom would attack them all of a sudden, as they were busy preparing for the wedding of princess Xiu Ying to prince He Xuan Li.

And it made prince Rong very furious, especially the reason they attacked Chao kingdom, because prince Rong was unwilling to marry the princess Yu Meng of their kingdom, and preferred to marry Lin Yao.

...----------------...

At the southern border, the troops led by prince Rong and the 3rd prince had arrived. All the troops and warlords welcomed them.

"What's the situation right now?" Prince Rong told the warlord.

"If you look, I estimate the army of the country of Yu to number more than 1500 people, your majesty."

Prince Rong nodded.

the 4 men of war and Lin Yao, were currently in a tent, and were encircling a map of where they were and the territory around them.

"Your highness, is this a small stream?" Asked Lin Yao who was looking at the image of a river that was not that long.

"True, this is a river that was deliberately created a few years ago. And not so long."

"If so, we can reduce the number of troops from the Yu country by sprinkling poison into that stream."

The 4 men stared at each other.

"If we sprinkle poison, then our troops will also be poisoned. Because we're also taking water from that river." Said the warlord.

"If it's like that, we should take it first. Take water for supplies for a few days, after which we close the river flow here so that no troops take water again. After that, we secretly sprinkle poison on the stream."

"The squad we brought in only numbered less than 3000 people, we might be able to win against them. But we do not know for sure what the actual number of opposing forces is. If this plan succeeds, we can at least cripple nearly half of Yu's country's army." Prince 3.

"But where did we get the poison?" Said the warlord.

Prince Rong looked at Lin Yao, "My empress, you said all these plans. And you must have prepared the poison you said it was. Aren't we?"

Lin Yao smiled then nodded.

"Right, I certainly wouldn't have said a plan if I hadn't made a preparation."

Everyone who heard that was shocked, except for prince Rong.

They certainly did not expect, if a woman who is notoriously weak and has no talent, would think of a very good plan.

Lin Yao took out a small ceramic bottle, then placed it on top of the map they were looking at.

"This is bone-paralysing poison, anyone who drinks this poison will die slowly. And they wouldn't realize if their dead army was poisoned by the river water they drank." Said Lin Yao.

The 4 men stared at a ceramic bottle filled with a terrible poison.

"All right, we have to do this plan right away. And end this war before Xiu Ying's daughter gets married." Prince Rong.

"Okay, your honor." Said the warlord and the head of the war forces.

The two people then walked out of the tent to carry out the plan Lin Yao had said.

Meanwhile inside the tent, prince Rong looked at Lin Yao who was standing right in front of him.

"You can talk, I'll help the troops to get a supply of drinking water." Prince 3.

The 3rd Prince who understood if his sister wanted to speak 4 eyes with Lin Yao chose to leave.

After the 3rd prince left, prince Rong walked up to Lin Yao.

"My empress, in addition to having intelligence in medicine, rode a horse and faced a ferocious tiger in the forest. Now you're showing me you can make poison. Tell me, besides all that, what other talent do you have?" Prince Rong.

Lin Yao smiled, "Your highness, we are getting married. Later the noble will know what talents I have."

Prince Rong's hands stretched out and rubbed Lin Yao's cheeks gently.

"You really amaze me, and want to marry you soon." Prince Rong.

"Yes.... Your Majesty, are we not... We're getting married later?"

"You're right, but I can't be patient waiting for that day to come."

"Your Majesty, you are a god of war. Ba... How can you say that."

Prince Rong smiled at Lin Yao, "That's because you are the only woman who has attracted me, and has also made me feel something different."

Lin Yao lowered his head, his face feeling a little hot.

"After this is done, I will ask the emperor's father to hasten our wedding day. I don't want to see you on the battlefield like this again." Prince Rong.

Lin Yao could only silently hear all the sayings and decisions from prince Rong.
