Everyone turned their heads to look at the dust rising behind them, and saw a tall figure suddenly leaping from the horse and standing steadily in front of Ye Wanshu and Emperor Zhaolie.
Looking at the familiar figure in front of her, it was like the dawn in the dark night, completely relaxing Ye Wanshu's tense nerves.
After struggling for so long, she was already exhausted both physically and mentally. Seeing her aunt, Gu Tingzhou, and so many soldiers die one after another, she thought she was in a desperate situation today, but she never expected that he would really come.
She silently looked at him for a long time, seeing that his body was covered in blood and the bloodshot in his eyes almost covered the original color of his pupils. Ye Wanshu couldn't imagine how much hardship he had experienced along the way.
Hot tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably, and Ye Wanshu called out with a trembling voice, "Fu Mingchi."
No matter how much time has passed, she still likes to call him that.
"I'm late."
Fu Mingchi pursed his cracked lips, glanced at the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion who were eyeing him hungrily, and forced himself to stand up while secretly gathering his strength.
Looking at his obviously thinner and haggard face, Ye Wanshu shook her head with heartache, smiled, and stretched out her fingers to touch the coagulated blood on his face.
"They are all rebels. This king will not be in any trouble."
Hiding her in his arms, Fu Mingchi pointed his spear at the guards of Prince Qi's mansion who were pressing forward and shouted coldly, "The Divine Might Army has come to rescue the emperor. Who dares to act rashly?"
Hearing the deafening sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer, everyone turned their heads and saw that the mighty cavalry began to surround them. Ji Ningxi and his guards looked at each other, not daring to move.
"You...you are King Yongning?"
When Ji Ningxi saw the legendary King Yongning for the first time, he was stunned.
His handsome face exudes an innate noble temperament from head to toe, as if he were a banished immortal walking out of a painting, which is intoxicating.
I'm afraid there will never be such a beautiful face in this world.
She suddenly understood why her mother had gone to such great lengths to get her married into Prince Yongning's mansion.
"Your Highness, didn't you go to the northern border? Why did you suddenly come to Lin'an?" Ji Ningxi glanced at the prince who was shot to death, without any anger, and asked with a flattering look.
Fu Mingchi just glanced at the Shenwei Army that surrounded him, then looked back at Ye Wanshu.
The two looked at each other in silence, as if the air around them had stagnated.
Ye Wanshu's mood was extremely complicated at this moment, and she didn't know whether to be angry with him or thank him.
She was clearly looking forward to his appearance, but she also felt that he should not give up the great opportunity to fight for the imperial seal.
"cough."
Seeing the two of them staring at each other without saying a word, and their fiery gazes seemed to be filled with endless resentment, Emperor Zhaolie became a little anxious.
"Mingchi, you are truly foolish! The Empress Dowager and the Imperial Seal are both in the Cining Palace. How could you not immediately go and take the Imperial Seal back?" Emperor Zhaolie mocked, "If we allow the Imperial Seal to be taken away by the bad guys, the consequences will be disastrous."
"If you lose the seal, you can always get it back, but once you lose someone, you can never see them again."
Fu Mingchi glanced at Ye Wanshu, then knelt down immediately, clasping his fists respectfully and saying, "Your Majesty, I am sorry that I have been late in coming to your rescue. I have frightened you."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's good for my old bones to feel a little more stimulation. Hurry up and stand up."
Emperor Zhaolie secretly winked at Ye Wanshu, "Girl, I'm a little tired. Prince Yongning has been traveling all the way and I'm afraid he hasn't had a rest in a while. Please comfort him for me."
After saying that, he strode forward.
Looking at Ji Ningxi and the guards of Prince Qi's mansion, Emperor Zhaolie's face turned cold: "Why, you bastard, you also want to end up like the rebellious son of your mansion?"
Ji Ningxi stared at Fu Mingchi blankly for a long time without blinking. Only when she heard the emperor's angry rebuke did she regain her composure. She gritted her teeth secretly and knelt down in fear: "Your Majesty, your servant..."
"Your Highness?" The emperor interrupted her with a sneer, "You have fallen into depravity and are willing to be someone else's concubine. Whose Highness are you? I will capture you all."
With a wave of his hand, the Shenwei Army came forward and surrounded Ji Ningxi and the guards of Prince Qi's mansion.
Seeing the traitor being captured, Ji Yunze rushed out of the crowd anxiously and went straight to Ye Wanshu.
"Wanwan, are you okay?"
Ji Yunze was about to move forward anxiously, but Fu Mingchi raised his spear with an indifferent look and pointed it directly at his heart.
Ji Yunze was startled by the intimidating look in his eyes.
"Wanwan, I didn't know Prince Qi would rebel." Ji Yunze felt guilty. "I almost caused the death of you and His Majesty. I am guilty."
Ye Wanshu didn't know what happened outside Lin'an City, but looking at Fu Mingchi's blood-stained battle robe, she knew that his entry into Lin'an City was not smooth.
I'm afraid Ji Yunze is interfering.
She could understand Ji Yunze's thoughts, but she could not agree with his actions. If he really provoked a war between the Gu family and the Yongning Palace, there would never be peace in the world.
Thinking about the situation in the Yangxin Palace, Ye Wanshu felt even more uneasy.
If Ji Yunze had not intervened, Gu Tingzhou would not have died, and Xue Ren and Ma Junsi would not have been completely wiped out.
"Ji Yunze, I saved you because I didn't want you to study hard for ten years and then have your bright future ruined in an instant. The Pacification Commissioner helped you out of this predicament because I hoped you would keep your original aspirations and serve the country and the people."
Recalling her admonition to him outside Lin'an City that day, Ye Wanshu felt deeply disappointed. "But you feel like a stranger to me now. I don't want to see you again."
"That's not the case, Wanwan." Ji Yunze shook his head sadly, "Everything I did was for Your Majesty and even more so for you."
