Li Yuanmu remained silent once again.

Because he couldn't refute it?

Li Yuanyi nudged his younger brother with his elbow and asked, "When exactly did you fall for Miss Yun?"

Li Yuanmu lowered his head even further and gently shook his head: "I don't know!"

All he knew was that these days, the image of Yun Chuwei lingered in his mind.

However, Yun Chuwei's attitude towards him remained unchanged from beginning to end.

Li Yuanyi somewhat disliked her younger brother.

He continued, "So what do you plan to do? Are you just going to foolishly follow her to the capital and do nothing else?"

“I…” Li Yuanmu looked at the carriage getting closer and closer outside the city gate and shook his head slightly, “I never thought about it.”

These days, they are either traveling or fighting, and they have very little time to rest.

Although he went to see Yun Chuwei every day, he and Yun Chuwei actually barely exchanged a few words.

Li Yuanyi reached out and patted his younger brother's shoulder, whispering, "Don't worry, you have a good chance. As far as I know, Miss Yun and that Yama Mask have a falling out, and they seem to be angry. I noticed it a few days ago; although they were eating together, they didn't talk much. I also saw that Yama Mask apologize to Miss Yun, but she ignored him."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanmu couldn't help but recall that man in the camp that day...

He frowned slightly and asked, "Really? Could you be mistaken?"

Miss Yun is so indulgent towards that person, how could she possibly be angry with him?

Li Yuanyi waved his hand and said, "How could I be wrong? I saw it clearly. Moreover, I also know that the Yama mask left this morning. Little brother, you must seize the opportunity. If I were you, I would go directly to Miss Yun to express my feelings."

Li Yuanmu's eyes lit up as he looked at the carriage outside the city gate.

-

Xie Xuan did indeed leave this morning.

Yun Chuwei and Yan Wei had no idea where this person had gone.

As Yan Wei drove the carriage, he asked Yun Chuwei inside, "Miss, where is that young master? Why is he gone?"

Yun Chu frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "I don't know!"

Yan Wei was somewhat surprised: "You're still angry with him? I saw him apologize several times for what happened that day."

Yun Chuwei was silent for a moment before speaking, "It's not that I'm angry, it's just that there have been too many things happening these past few days..."

Yan Wei smiled, but did not expose Yun Chuwei.

He looked up at the city gate that was so close at hand and whispered, "We're outside the city gate now. Do we really want to go in? What if Li Ping doesn't want us to leave after we go in?"

His eldest daughter deserves much credit for the swift conquest of Goryeo this time.

With such a powerful weapon for conquering the world, he didn't believe Li Ping wouldn't harbor evil intentions.

Yun Chuwei lifted the curtain, looked at the city gate not far away, smiled, and said, "Let's go straight into the city. He wouldn't dare to make any move, would he?"

Yan Wei turned her head and saw Yun Chuwei's confident smile, and subconsciously asked, "Has Miss made any preparations?"

"Hmm!" Yun Chu responded softly, lowering the carriage curtain. "Last night at dinner, I put a little poison on the Li family father and sons, as well as Mr. Zhang. If everything goes smoothly, they'll be fine. But if they try to cause trouble, then it won't be me who dies!"

The poison manual I got from He An should be quite useful.

Yan Wei remained silent; this was truly his young lady.

Hopefully, Li Ping will make the right choice and not suffer the consequences.

When the carriage arrived at the city gate, Li Yuanyi and Li Yuanmu had already come down from the city wall.

They bowed to the carriage and said, "The city is now completely under our control. The Goryeo palace has been converted into the governor's mansion. My father told us to wait here for the young lady and then take her there."

Yun Chuwei's voice came from inside the carriage: "Thank you for your trouble!"

Yan Weize said, "Thank you for leading the way."

So the two of them walked ahead and led the way.

Soon, they arrived at the governor's mansion.

Yan Wei looked at the place, which was almost identical to the governor's mansion of Jizhou, and his lips twitched slightly. He said, "This... what did you say this was originally? The Goryeo Royal Palace?"

Li Yuanmu nodded: "Exactly!"

Yan Wei looked disgusted: "This so-called imperial palace is not even as good as the governor's mansion in Jizhou, is it?"

Neither of them spoke.

Because that's what they think too.

Yun Chuwei lifted the curtain, stepped down from the carriage, glanced at the newly hung plaque of the governor's mansion, and said nothing.

Li Yuanyi gave Li Yuanmu a wink.

Li Yuanmu glanced at Yun Chuwei and felt his heart race; he wanted to back down.

Finally, under the watchful eye of his elder brother, he steeled himself and stepped forward, saying to Yun Chuwei, "Miss Yun, let me take you to your residence."

Yun Chuwei nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble!"

So, Li Yuanmu walked in front, and Yun Chuwei and Yan Wei followed behind, and the three of them entered the newly built governor's mansion.

-

That evening, Li Ping prepared a victory banquet to reward the three armies.

As the strategist for this expedition, Yun Chuwei naturally attended the victory celebration banquet.

However, she didn't stay long. She just had a drink and some food before taking her leave.

Yan Wei squeezed into the crowd to drink, and Yun Chuwei told him to continue while she walked towards her residence.

Before the banquet began, Yan Wei personally inspected the defenses of the governor's mansion and confirmed that there were no problems, so he was not worried and simply continued drinking.

At the prompting of his father and brother, Li Yuanmu hurriedly followed Yun Chuwei.

When Yun Chuwei arrived at the entrance of her courtyard, she stopped in her tracks.

She actually knew from the beginning that someone was following her.

She turned around and, sure enough, saw Li Yuanmu.

Li Yuanmu was a little embarrassed and quickly explained, "Miss Yun, I was just worried about you, so..."

Yun Chuwei smiled warmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Second Young Master. I have arrived. There are soldiers guarding here, so there won't be any problems. Please return, Second Young Master!"

After saying that, she planned to walk inside.

At this moment, Li Yuanmu called out to Yun Chuwei, saying, "Miss Yun, may I say a few words?"

Yun Chuwei turned around again and looked at Li Yuanmu: "Please speak!"

“Miss Yun, I… I previously thought it was a bit of an exaggeration for my father to treat you as an honored guest. Later I realized you are truly remarkable…”

Yun Chuwei smiled again: "Thank you for the compliment, Second Young Master. Are you finished speaking, Second Young Master?"

Li Yuanmu quickly shook his head: "No! I want to tell Miss Yun that... these past few days, every time I see you, my heart races uncontrollably, I think I..."

My older brother said that tonight might be his chance.

Li Yuanmu also felt that he should at least let Miss Yun know that he loved her.

He closed his eyes, struggling to finish what he was about to say: "I think I love you!"
