Ji Yunze refused to give up: "Princess, since you have received the emperor's grace, you should put the people of the world first. Please go to the northern border. Yunze is willing to accompany you and protect you for the rest of your life, until death."
"Ji Yunze, are you done yet?" Gu Tingchen's chest was filled with anger. "Look at how cowardly you are. What qualifications do you have to mention protecting Wanwan?"
"Enough," Ye Wanshu closed her eyes impatiently. "If you have any courage left in you, you should take up your swords and fight the Northern Bandits to the death, instead of sacrificing innocent women for a moment of peace. Do you think the Northern Bandits' 700,000 strong cavalry will change their evil ambitions just because of one woman?"
Glancing deliberately at Gu Tingchen, Ye Wanshu said in a gloomy tone, "Before the enemy troops even arrive, you're so impatient to go and humiliate them into seeking peace. This will undoubtedly only embolden them."
"You're trying to provoke me into heading to the Northern Territory?" Gu Tingchen shook his head, half-smiling. "Wanwan really has a plan. Are you waiting for my cousin to enter the Northern Territory so that Prince Yongning can take advantage of the situation and continue your affair?"
Ji Yunze knew very well that marriage was not a good idea. The reason he advocated marriage was to take Wanwan away from Lin'an first.
By then, the northern invaders will be furious, and Gu Tingchen will be forced to fight. With this opportunity, Fu Mingchi will definitely send troops to Lin'an. When the two of them fight to the death, he will still have a chance to restore the country for the emperor.
It’s a pity that Wanwan doesn’t understand my painstaking efforts.
Seeing Gu Tingchen pointing the finger at Fu Mingchi, Ji Yunze could only follow suit and say, "Since Prince Daoan knows Prince Yongning has evil intentions, how can he give him an excuse to send troops? Now that Lin'an City is in turmoil and resentment, if Prince Yongning wants to purge his court, how will Prince Daoan respond?"
Glancing at Ye Wanshu from the corner of his eye, Ji Yunze deliberately began to stir up trouble. "I heard that the Prime Minister went to see His Majesty right after arriving in Lin'an, and that His Majesty then voluntarily abdicated. Recently, Tingfeng, who was with the Prime Minister, has inexplicably disappeared. Doesn't Prince Daoan find this strange?"
Ye Wanshu felt that this person was becoming increasingly unfamiliar, and unhappily tried to stop him, saying, "Ji Yunze, my father has no grudge against you, why are you framing him?"
Ji Yunze ignored him and continued with a stern face, "Prince Daoan, aren't you worried that His Majesty left behind some secret decree to the Prime Minister before abdicating?"
Hearing this, Gu Tingchen's expression could no longer remain calm: "Liu Zhang, follow me to Ji Mansion immediately and capture Ji Yuan."
Seeing Gu Tingchen and his men hurriedly leaving, Ye Wanshu glared at Ji Yunze with a dark look in her eyes, and left resolutely with her men.
Ji Yunze was distressed and was about to call her, but she disappeared from his sight in an instant.
"Princess, you must believe me, I will take you away from here." Ji Yunze murmured silently as he walked out of the Duke's Mansion.
