Chapter 558: So Cowardly
Ji Yunshu looked at the sky outside. It was really cold, but for someone like her who never left the house, it didn't really have much of an impact.
"The war isn't over yet, and there are a lot of things to do after the war. Dad and Big Brother definitely won't have time to return to Beijing, so it's fine for me to stay here for the New Year."
They didn't return to Beijing last year. If she goes back this year, there won't be any New Year atmosphere in the mansion.
Yin Ye said with a smile, "The general will be very happy to know that you want to stay and spend the New Year with him."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I just hope that by then, the war will have ended. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to have a peaceful New Year."
The more important reason why she wanted to stay was that she hoped her father and brother were safe.
When this war is over, their disaster will be over too.
As the two were talking, a little girl came in and said that someone had delivered a letter.
Ji Yunshu took the letter casually and found out that it was Wujina asking her to meet.
The little girl said, "The messenger is still outside, waiting for Madam's reply."
Ji Yunshu put the letter on the table: "Go tell her that if she wants to see me, she can just come to my house."
The war is not over yet, and even Wuning may not be safe.
No matter what Wujina wanted to say, she would not go out.
Upon hearing this, the little girl went out to deliver the message.
Yin Ye was standing next to Ji Yunshu and also saw the contents of the letter.
"Princess Wujina... Oh, no, it's the Queen. What does she want to see you for right now?"
She asked in confusion.
Although Wujina did not openly participate in the battle this time, everyone knew that it would be impossible to achieve this level relying solely on Bilige.
This also means that Wujina has already broken her original promise.
Yin Ye didn't know what was the point of her looking for Ji Yunshu at this time.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests. No matter where Prince Yong retreats to, in the eyes of the world, he is already dead. So now, Mobei can only rely on themselves."
However, Mobei cannot afford the cost of a long-term war.
Yin Ye curled her lips and said, "You didn't abide by the agreement we had in the beginning. What's the point of her looking for you now?"
Ji Yunshu comforted her, "I have nothing to do anyway, so it's okay to see what she wants to do. Anyway, I can't make any promises to her. The matter in the capital is settled, and the prince should be here soon."
Yin Ye smiled and said, "I was wondering why Madam has been so listless lately. It turns out you're missing the prince."
Ji Yunshu wasn't shy about being teased by her. Instead, he held his chin up and smiled, "Well, I've been thinking lately that you're not young anymore and know a lot more. What kind of husband should I choose for you?"
Yin Ye: "I'm still young, there's no rush."
Ji Yunshu said, "Don't say that. It's better to find a man as soon as possible, otherwise you will end up marrying the one who is left over. Don't be shy, tell me what kind of man you like, and I will help you find one."
Yin Ye: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have told you about your relationship with the prince."
Ji Yunshu tilted his head and looked at her: "I'm serious, please think about it carefully."
Seeing that she seemed serious, Yin Ye had no choice but to nod.
When Wujina, who was staying in the inn, heard the words of the messenger, she fell silent.
Helian Ye followed her and sneered, "You're so timid, you don't even dare to leave the house?"
Wujina glanced at him sideways: "This also means that she no longer trusts me and is too lazy to even put on a show."
Helian Ye said indifferently: "Do you think she believed you?"
"A little bit."
She could feel that Ji Yunshu had no ill will towards her. During the days in Mobei Royal City, although she was wary of her, she also had some trust in her.
Helian Ye didn't know what she was struggling with: "What's the use of that little bit of trust? You should think carefully about how to persuade her before Zhao Shen comes back."
Wu Rina shook her head: "Do you think she is easier to deal with than Zhao Shen?"
Helian Ye raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it?"
Zhao Shen was notoriously difficult to deal with. Zhao Shen contributed at least 50% to the end of King Yong.
Under the current circumstances, they have no advantage in negotiating with Zhao Shen.
Wu Rina shook her head. "Don't forget, she's Ji Changlin's daughter. If it were anything else, she might be easier to talk to than Zhao Shen, but when it comes to her family, do you think she's a pushover? This time, we won't be able to get away with it no matter what."
Helian Ye: "Let's not talk about it for now. Our Ulan tribe has not yet gone into battle. If all of them go out, we may not be powerless to fight."
Wujina rubbed her brows. "Then what? Even if we win, it'll be a pyrrhic victory. But in reality, we don't even have that chance. Up until now, Youzhou hasn't fought at full strength. If that happens, do you think Daxia will show mercy? Prince Yong has already failed. No matter how many plans he has, we'll be useless to him. Do you think we can defeat Daxia if we rely solely on ourselves?"
Helian Ye remained silent, and Wujina knew that he was unwilling to accept it.
Who would be willing to do that?
But now they are in a situation where they are isolated and helpless. What can they do even if they are unwilling?
In terms of national strength, Mobei can never compete with Daxia.
The room fell silent. Wu Jina sighed and said, "I'll go see her first. There has to be a result."
Helian Ye was worried: "If she does something to you..."
Wujina shook her head: "I am the King of Mobei now. How could she possibly do anything to me? She asked me to go to the General's Mansion, which means she didn't intend to do anything to me."
Helian Ye wanted to say something, but he knew Wujina wouldn't listen.
After all, he didn't approve of Wujina coming to Wuning in person from the beginning.
This is too dangerous for her.
He didn't think it was the right decision to start with Ji Yunshu. After all, women didn't have a high status in Daxia.
Ji Yunshu didn't expect that after receiving the letter on the first day, Wujina would come to his house the next day.
Yin Ye received a message from the housekeeper and quickly pulled Ji Yunshu out of bed.
"Don't sleep anymore, the Queen of Mobei is here."
Ji Yunshu yawned: "So early?"
Yin Ye: "It's getting late, it's almost noon."
The weather has been so cold lately that she doesn't want to leave the bed at all.
Half an hour had passed by the time Yin Ye helped her get dressed and washed.
When she entered the living room, Wujina was eating snacks.
She made a lot of snacks these days, and if she couldn't finish them all, she would take them out to serve guests.
Wujina was very interested: "Is this dessert made with milk?"
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Yes, this is a new invention of the cook."
Wujina praised: "Your cook is really amazing. She can even make milk taste so good."
There is plenty of milk on the grassland, but their chefs can't make such snacks.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "If you like, eat more. I got up late today and neglected you, so this is my apology to you."
Wu Jina smiled and said, "You want to apologize to me with just a few snacks? But it's my fault. I knew you didn't like getting up early, but I still came at this time."
Ji Yunshu took a sip of tea and asked, "What's the matter that's causing you so much anxiety?"
