Ji Wan's last words completely made Xiling Mingyue lose the desire to refute. She couldn't refuse anything that was good for Ning Xiguo.
Knowing that this would shut Xiling Mingyue up, Ji Wan heaved a sigh of relief and then began to persuade, "Mother, please follow your elder brother back to Ningxi Country.
Go tell the people over there, and... my father, that I didn't become strong just to invade Ningxi Country."
Xiling Mingyue frowned: "Fuguang, how can you think so? You are originally from Ningxi!"
"Mother, please stop talking. I've made up my mind. Otherwise, I'll have my eldest brother take the person and the technology back alone, and not tell the people that it was me who did it..."
Ji Wan used both threats and inducements, and Xiling Mingyue finally nodded and agreed to follow Xiling Ci back to Ningxi Kingdom.
Xiling Mingyue now does not believe what Xiling Ci said and will not harm her brothers and sisters.
He also didn't believe that Ji Wan had no intention of taking action against Ning Xiguo in the future.
Being caught in a dilemma, Ji Wan could only take advantage of Xiling Mingyue's mentality and send the person back to Ningxi Kingdom.
On the other side, Xilingci shook his head helplessly after hearing Ji Wan's words, his face looking a little gloomy.
Is his sister telling him that she has already decided to treat him as her rival?
Otherwise, she wouldn't need two of her heavyweight aides to deliver the technology.
Just send someone to hand over the technology to him. He is not a fool and cannot do research.
Moreover, his sister told him clearly that this technology was developed by her and the people of Ningxi Kingdom must know about this matter and he cannot hide it.
This was an open conspiracy. Even if he knew Fu Guang's intention, he could not refuse, because what Fu Guang had in his hands was indeed useful technology for Ning Xiguo.
Thinking of this, even though Fu Guang was on guard against him, he couldn't help but admire Fu Guang's resourcefulness.
Think about the father who is waiting anxiously in Ningxi Kingdom, the mother who is worried about her children in Donglin Kingdom, and the troublesome sister who is eager to cause trouble with Ningxi Kingdom.
Xilingci felt extremely anxious.
It really proved my father's words, 'No one is worry-free!'
"Yes, mother, please go back to Ningxi Country and help Fu Guang. Let the people there know how powerful our little princess is!"
Xiling Mingyue then nodded reluctantly with a grim expression, without even eating, and turned around to be supported by Nie Ying to go back and rest.
Ji Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the tea beside him, and gulped it down.
"Brother, don't you want to go back and rest?"
Xilingci slowly shook her head and said, "Mother must have said something to you before, right Fuguang? I'm sorry for wronging you."
"Yes, but mother also pointed out one thing to me, so it's not a waste." Ji Wan thought of Xiling Mingyue's sure look at that time, and couldn't help but sigh. No one knows a son better than his mother.
"Fu Guang, the Emperor and I are both your blood relatives. The Emperor will not agree to my competing with you for anything, nor will he stand in your way.
If you want the position of Crown Prince of Ningxi Kingdom, I can give it to you.
The two months you've been ruling the land have been enough for me to see your strength clearly. Forcing a fight with you will only lead to more bloodshed."
Xilingci did not spend these two months in vain. He saw Ji Wan developing the city in an orderly manner and the military training in full swing.
He knew very well what level of ability it required.
"Brother, it's too early to say that now." Ji Wan sighed. She didn't expect Xilingci to say that, and she felt a little warm in her heart.
"Not too early, Fu Guang. If you want to go back and take over Ningxi Kingdom, you have to do it as soon as possible."
Xilingci really hoped so in her heart. Judging from the attitude of Yang Guan and the people towards Ji Wan, her sister was definitely not an ungrateful person.
Even if he becomes emperor in the future, he will not be treated harshly. He is still capable of being a prince with real power.
In the past, there were many female regents in the Ningxi Kingdom, and those regents were all descendants of the Xiling royal family.
Now he and Fu Guang are simply reversing the customs of their ancestors.
"I do have ambitions, but don't worry, big brother. I don't have three heads and six arms, and my arms aren't that long.
There are four countries in the world now, so there is no need for me to go to great lengths to deal with Ningxi Kingdom.
And most importantly, I think I can collaborate with you, brother."
Xilingci was stunned: "Cooperation?"
"Yes, cooperation." Ji Wan nodded and picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and handed it to Xilingci.
"What cooperation?" Xilingci subconsciously ate the food that Ji Wan brought to him.
"Ningxi State and Fanzhou have trade, intermarriage, and so on..."
"But... the two places are so far apart, how can we trade?" Xilingci frowned.
Ji Wan was a little surprised: "Doesn't Ningxi Country have the magic of cultivating immortals? Wouldn't it be enough to build a teleportation array like in the [realm]?"
Xilingci shook her head gently. "How could they all be immortals? Fuguang, only the royal family of Ningxi Kingdom can cultivate. If you were born in Ningxi Kingdom, your father would have sent you to a secret chamber to improve your aptitude for cultivation."
Ji Wan frowned. She only found out today that only the royal family of Ningxi Kingdom could practice cultivation, and there was also a so-called secret room that could change one's qualifications!
"It's okay, big brother. I can provide the technical support. Just tell me if you're willing to cooperate!"
Xilingci nodded: "Having seen Fuguang's Pincheng, I am naturally willing to cooperate with you!"
Ji Wan smiled and said, "Don't worry, big brother. I will never let you suffer any loss."
"Okay, Fu Guang, you can do whatever you want. Ningxi Country is your home and we will support you unconditionally."
Qiqiao Festival.
Pincheng is crowded from the evening onwards.
The twilight afterglow of the setting sun spreads lightly on the bluestone slabs. The streets are crowded with people and the sound of laughter lingers in the ears.
The blushing young men and women walked together reservedly, looking at each other from time to time. The atmosphere was shy and full of ambiguity.
There were shops decorated with lights on both sides of the street. Ji Wan was wearing a light pink gauze robe, followed by Yang Guan and Xiling Ci.
The weather was getting hot. Although there was a temperature-control formation in the city, Ji Wan and the people in the city subconsciously changed into lighter gauze clothes.
Before Ji Wan left, he sent Yang Guan to ask Xiling Mingyue if she wanted to come out to celebrate the festival.
The answer he got was that he had to pack his luggage for the trip to Ningxi Kingdom tomorrow, so he couldn't come out.
Sighing, Ji Wan didn't force anything.
She had felt very aggrieved after hearing what Xiling Mingyue said, and was angry that her mother did not believe her.
But to be honest, even if Ji Wan was angry, it was difficult for her to ignore Xiling Mingyue's thoughts, after all, she was her mother.
She didn't want to quarrel with Xiling Mingyue, nor did she want to be restricted in her actions because of it.
So in order to be able to better implement her actions in the future, she chose to let her mother follow Xiling Ci and return to Ningxi Kingdom.
Moreover, the formation will be successfully built in a few days, and Xiling Mingyue will be able to come back by riding on the formation.
