After hearing her words, Fu Mingchi immediately understood that Wan'er was not sick at all, but was clearly angry. She was angry that he had ignored her, and even more angry that he should not have gotten too close to his cousin from the Zhao family.
Fu Mingchi brushed Ye Wanshu's hair and smiled gently, "Since it was me who caused Wan'er to become so seriously ill, I will punish myself severely and stay by her side the entire way. Will this help her feel better?"
Ye Wanshu smiled with her eyes curved, and replied happily, "Okay", then rested her head on his knees and looked at him quietly.
The ink-stained eyes flickered, and she was quite moved.
"Fu Mingchi, I want to be with you day and night, just like now." Pinching his slender fingers, Ye Wanshu played with them and asked casually, "Are you willing?"
It was rare to see her so worried. Although she didn't say it, Fu Mingchi knew in his heart that she was afraid that Empress Dowager Gu would not tolerate this marriage.
"Wan'er, as long as it's what you want, I will fight for it for you even if it means breaking the sky." Fu Mingchi comforted her softly.
Looking at his extremely determined eyes, Ye Wanshu felt more at ease than ever.
She might have doubted what others said, but Fu Mingchi's behavior had already made her believe it.
Along the way, she rested her head on Fu Mingchi's legs with peace of mind. Sometimes she fell asleep in a daze, and when she woke up, she could still see him beside her, as if he would never get tired or sleepy. Just as he said, he stayed by her side every step of the way.
After living two lives, for the first time, she felt the warmth and comfort of having a place to rest her heart. This feeling was really good, and she liked it very much.
Seeing that her cousin only stayed with that little bitch from the Ye family all day, Zhao Yingying was furious.
But she left in a hurry and didn't even bring a personal maid or nanny with her, so there was no one to give her advice. The idiot from the Mu family refused to side with her, so she could only watch that bitch hook up with her cousin.
After enduring so much suffering along the way, she felt more hopeful as she was about to enter the territory of Yuzhou.
She firmly believed that her mother and father would never just watch the little bitch from the Ye family marry into the Yongning Palace.
......
Upon learning that her son was still alive and was about to return to Yuzhou, Concubine Zhang was overjoyed. The city of Yuzhou, which had been dead for many days, suddenly became a sensation.
After completing all the arrangements for the marriage, and thinking about the day her son would return to the city, Concubine Zhang led Fu Yunni and Yuzhou officials out of the city early in the morning to personally welcome him.
Princess Qining was extremely dissatisfied with the eldest sister-in-law's humble attitude in trying to please Ji Yuan and his daughter.
While her sister-in-law and niece were still there, Princess Qining and her men went straight to the gate of Concubine Zhang's courtyard.
"Sister-in-law, that girl from the Ye family nearly killed Ming Chi this time. Why are you still so stubborn and insist on getting married?" Princess Qining asked angrily, "Do you really want to kill Ming Chi before you'll give up?"
"Princess, you misunderstood. This time it's all thanks to Miss Ye, otherwise His Highness would really be helpless."
Zhu Wencai was about to explain in detail when Princess Qining glared at him fiercely: "You have no right to speak here, why don't you leave?"
"Yu'e, how come you have become as unreasonable as that girl in your house?"
Concubine Zhang said dissatisfiedly, "Yingying is still young, so I can let her go for now, but you are an elder in the palace, and you don't know the big picture at all?"
Ever since Ji Yuan entered Yuezhou, she realized that her sister-in-law had been secretly instigating the old ministers of the palace to stop this marriage.
I'm afraid she came prepared today.
As expected, just as she finished her thought, she saw many servants from the Yongning Palace rushing over, led by her brother-in-law Zhao Yun.
Fu Yu'e gave a secret look, and the ministers quickly knelt down and pleaded, "Please reconsider, Concubine Dowager. This marriage with the Ji family must not be concluded."
Glancing at the rising sun, Concubine Zhang frowned speechlessly and said sternly, "Even if the Jade Emperor came today, I will go to the outskirts of Yuzhou City to personally welcome the Ji family father and daughter."
Fu Yu'e's expression was furious: "Sister-in-law, don't forget, I am a member of the Fu family. Brother entrusted the palace to you just to let you corrupt it like this?"
"Yu'e, don't be rude to the Concubine Dowager," Zhao Yun hurriedly dissuaded her.
Glancing at Concubine Zhang, whose expression was uncertain, Zhao Yun clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Concubine, it's not that we are forcing you. It's simply that this enchantress from the Ye family has seduced you and is unfit to enter the Yongning Palace. Upon her arrival in Yuezhou, she nearly sparked a mutiny. If we force a marriage, it will only intensify the court's determination to reduce the power of the vassal states."
"Who is reducing the power of the feudal lords? Is it the emperor or the Empress Dowager Gu?"
Concubine Zhang angrily said, "We, the Yongning Prince's Palace, are loyal to our duties. We are loyal to the foundation of the Daye Dynasty and to the Fu family. Could it be that because of the power of Empress Dowager Gu, even my son's marriage must be subject to the Gu family's opinion?"
Glancing sharply at the ministers, Concubine Zhang continued, "I'll ask you again, Empress Dowager Gu has long regarded my Yongning Palace as a thorn in her side. Will she let my Yongning Palace go if I don't arrange this marriage?"
Zhao Yun was suddenly choked, and all the ministers lowered their heads.
Seeing everyone speechless, Concubine Zhang finally said, "My son has never done anything presumptuous. It's impossible that just because Empress Dowager Gu dislikes the Prime Minister personally appointed by the Emperor, everyone in the world will alienate the Ji family. Where will the emperor's authority be, and where will the dignity of the royal family be?"
After saying this, he resolutely picked up Fu Yunni and was about to get on the carriage.
"Wait."
Fu Yu'e called her back again and stepped closer: "Sister-in-law, I have nothing more to say since you speak so eloquently. But I must say something in advance. A country girl like that doesn't even know the etiquette and rules of the palace. I'm afraid she can't bear such a heavy burden."
