Seeing that she was still distracted and thinking about something, Ji Yuan slowly said, "Wanwan, Father seems to think Yunze treats you sincerely."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Ye Wanshu guessed what her stepfather was about to say: "Father, what happened between me and Master Ji is over. I'm probably destined to have a bumpy road in love in this life. Let's not drag others down anymore."
Ji Yuan choked, feeling mixed emotions.
"It's all my fault that Dad failed to protect you." Ji Yuan blamed himself very much.
Ye Wanshu shook her head. "Father, why blame yourself for this? I've already said that my only wish in returning to Lin'an is the same as yours, and that is to clear the world for His Majesty."
Ji Yuan's eyes darkened slightly: "How can this be easy?"
"Everything depends on human effort," Ye Wanshu said. "I'd like to ask my father for three things when I return to Lin'an this time. My uncle will be withdrawing his troops to Lin'an tomorrow, and how to deal with the Mu family army will be a thorny issue. So the first thing I need to do is to ask my father to submit a memorial to His Majesty, requesting that the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan lead the Mu family army to retreat to Xiling Pass to cultivate wasteland."
Ji Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Gu An's move today clearly shows that he doesn't want to engage in a war with the Yongning Palace. However, the Mu family army is unlikely to be reused right now. Although Xiling Pass is located in a remote area, if the Mu family army can retreat here, it can be considered a place to stay."
"Sometimes lying low isn't such a bad thing," Ye Wanshu pondered. "But I don't think Queen Mother Gu will agree easily, so I want my father to immediately report to His Majesty upon his return to Lin'an and discuss the possibility of a marriage alliance."
Ji Yuan was stunned: "Wanwan, you should know that once the marriage is arranged, Queen Mother Gu will definitely let you go."
"Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative," Ye Wanshu said. "This way, we can create a rift between Queen Mother Gu and Gu Tingchen, and also give our daughter a chance to get closer to Queen Mother Gu."
Ji Yuan was completely confused: "Why would Wanwan want to get close to Queen Mother Gu?"
Ye Wanshu smiled coldly, "Since Queen Mother Gu is so reluctant to give up the power in her hands, why don't I persuade her to take a step forward?"
Looking at Ji Yuan, she slowly said, "Let her sit on the dragon throne."
