Yan Jin and Yu Bai were both stunned.
"Your Highness, I've heard that the hundreds of people sheltering in Taowu are all Miss Ye's family members from her old home in Tongyang. They have no one to rely on. If Taowu is demolished, how will these people survive?" Yan Jin advised, "Please reconsider your decision."
"She can abandon her own family and friends, so why does she want me to take care of these elderly and weak people for her?" Fu Mingchi said with anger: "I am not a Bodhisattva in the temple, I don't have such a compassionate heart."
Yan Jin and Yu Bai looked at each other in embarrassment, which made Fu Mingchi even more angry: "What are you standing there for? Tear down Taowu immediately."
Just as the two were about to go out, they saw Concubine Zhang leading Fu Yunni, Zhao Yun, and Fu Yu'e and their wife in.
Seeing her cousin wake up, Zhao Yingying smiled and hurried forward to greet him, holding his arm affectionately: "Cousin, Yingying heard that you took people to pursue Miss Ye. How can such a person be worthy of your love and attention?"
"Shut up."
Concubine Zhang's eyes turned cold, and she walked forward slowly, sat down beside the coffee table, and looked around the furnishings in the room.
"After demolishing Taowu, what does my son want to do next?" Concubine Zhang asked angrily, "Kill all those close to her?"
"My son naturally doesn't have such sinister intentions as hers." Fu Mingchi said in a deep voice, "Since the court wants to force my son to rebel, then I will just rebel."
"It's good to rebel, it's good to rebel." Fu Yu'e quickly echoed, "That father and daughter have predicted that Ming Chi is in dire straits and there's no way back. Let's show that girl from the Ye family that even without her, Ji Yuan, our King Yongning can still rule the world."
"Madam, stop talking nonsense." Zhao Yun coughed lightly and quickly stopped her.
"What did I say wrong?" Fu Yu'e curled her lips. "Those father and daughter pretended to want to help Ming Chi take control of Lin'an, but now that the imperial army is approaching, they're desperate to flee Yuezhou. Do you think I should say good things about these two-faced villains?"
Glancing at Zhao Yun fiercely, Fu Yu'e said coldly, "If it weren't for that bitch from the Ye family, how could Ming Chi have provoked the Gu family's plague god and surrounded the Pacification Commissioner's Office, leaving people with something to talk about. Now, look what happened, she started the incident and she got away with it."
"Enough." Concubine Zhang's eyes darkened. "As the King of Yuezhou and commander of the three armies, do you really not care about the lives of your soldiers? Your aunt and the 100,000 men of the Mu family army are still trapped in the northern border. Do you want them all to die without a burial place?"
Glancing at Fu Yu'e with dissatisfaction, Concubine Zhang spoke even more sharply: "And you, after all, are the princess of the Yongning Palace, are you out of your mind? All day long, you let Ji Yunze, that unruly scholar, instigate you. Do you know what he's up to?"
"Of course I do."
Fu Yu'e snorted disdainfully, "He must hate the Gu family to the core, but he can't defeat them, so he wants to use our Yongning Palace to help him."
"He simply wants the Yongning Palace to help him?"
Concubine Zhang said angrily, "If he really wanted the best for our palace, he should have learned from Ji Yuan and planned everything for our palace instead of tempting the court to fear Yuezhou and making Queen Mother Gu murderous towards our palace."
"What Mrs. Wang said makes sense."
Zhao Yun nodded thoughtfully, "I'm afraid Miss Ye has colluded with Ji Xuezheng, hoping to cause both the imperial court and our Yuezhou army to suffer losses, so that these two can benefit from it."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhang was choked.
Thinking of the scene on the top of Huizhou City that night when Ye Wanshu risked her life to protect Ji Yunze, Fu Mingchi's eyes became increasingly gloomy.
"She only had that scholar in her heart from beginning to end."
Fu Mingchi laughed at himself, feeling like a fool, constantly being played around by her. "What do you mean by being forced to do this? She really hates the Gu brothers, and she really hates me too. I'm afraid she's been hoping for a fight to the death between me and the Gu brothers, so that she can live happily with that scholar for the rest of her life."
He really didn't expect that this person's mind could be so vicious.
Seeing her son's face turn extremely gloomy, Concubine Zhang also felt extremely uneasy.
Zhao Yun's words just now could not help but make people alert. After all, if Gu Tingchen had not imprisoned Ji Yunze in the prison of the Pacification Commissioner's Office, the girl from the Ye family would indeed have preferred that scholar as her favorite candidate.
She witnessed this with her own eyes in Taowu that day.
Seeing that his mother's expression had changed, Fu Yunni was in a panic: "Brother, mother, can you please just trust Sister Ye this time?"
With tears in her eyes, she tugged at Fu Mingchi's clothes and kept shaking her head, begging: "Sister Ye said that she only has big brother in her heart. She will not lie to A Ni. Please don't misunderstand Sister Ye."
Pointing to the betrothal gifts that were still being packed outside, Fu Yunni explained, "If Sister Ye didn't want to marry Big Brother, how could she have accepted our betrothal gifts? Moreover, she has even accepted the marriage certificate. She is now Big Brother's legitimate wife."
Fu Mingchi was startled and suddenly recalled what she said on the day she left.
"From today on, you will be my husband. I will be your princess and stay in Yuezhou peacefully. But you must promise me that no matter what happens or where you are, you will think of me and return to me safely."
Thinking about the passionate scenes with her, Fu Mingchi's eyes were filled with contempt and loss: "That was just her worry that the king would not let her go, so she deliberately paralyzed the king."
After all, she herself said that she was not a good person. She liked to play with the children of the powerful and wealthy, and there was nothing she couldn't do.
Fu Yu'e nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it's just a marriage certificate, and the formal wedding ceremony hasn't been held yet. If she doesn't want to acknowledge it, no one can make things difficult for her."
