Feeling the strong smell of jealousy around her, Ye Wanshu quickly retracted her gaze and looked at Fu Mingchi, shaking her head firmly.
Fu Mingchi gently pinched her wrist and asked with a gloomy look, "Are you going to run away again?"
Ye Wanshu smiled faintly: "Are you still angry?"
Fu Mingchi slowly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "That depends on how Wan'er coaxes you."
Seeing his eyes become gentle and affectionate again, Ye Wanshu wanted to bite him hard and never let go.
But thinking about Yuezhou's affairs, she suddenly had many concerns in her heart. She was afraid that he would think she was frivolous, afraid that he would think she was still just teasing him, and she couldn't bear to see him sad for her again.
"Fu Mingchi, I really want to coax you for the rest of my life." Ye Wanshu said seriously, "I'm afraid you don't understand, so I have to tell you. Since we parted ways, I've been thinking about you every day. I'm really afraid that I'll never see you again in this life."
Touching the scar on her palm that had not yet faded, Fu Mingchi's eyes felt a little sore: "But how could you bear to leave me and lie to me so cruelly?"
He couldn't imagine how he would live the rest of his life if he couldn't control himself and accidentally killed her that day.
Seeing the annoyance in his eyes, Ye Wanshu was afraid he would notice the scar on her wrist again, so she calmly pulled her hand away, gently wrapped her arms around his waist, and softly replied, "Then I swear, I will never leave you again, and I will never lie to you again."
Fu Mingchi felt much more relieved. Seeing that the Shenwei Army had already built several temporary tents, he suddenly picked up Ye Wanshu by the waist.
"Wait for me here, wait for me to come back," he said excitedly.
Ye Wanshu put her arm around his neck, guessing he was heading back to Lin'an City. She worriedly advised, "There are still 30,000 troops stationed in the city. If Gu Tingchen knew you were in Lin'an, he'd be desperate. With only 20,000 Divine Mighty troops, it would be difficult to capture Lin'an. It's better to wait for Duke Ningguo to return before making any further plans."
"I can't wait even a moment longer," Fu Mingchi said. "I want to marry Wan'er as soon as possible. I don't want her to have another chance to escape from me."
Even though she felt sorry for him, Ye Wanshu knew his personality and it would be difficult for him to change his mind once he had made up his mind.
Moreover, Yuezhou is now empty, and she is also worried that Gu Tingchen, that bastard, will be desperate and lead his army to attack Yuezhou.
Fu Mingchi carried her into the tent and carefully placed her on the bed. When he was about to turn around and leave, Ye Wanshu suddenly hugged him tightly.
"Fu Mingchi, promise me that you won't let yourself make any mistakes again."
She didn't want to experience the pain of watching the people she cared about disappear before her eyes again, and she didn't want to see what happened in Qizhou happen again.
When Fu Mingchi entered the city, he had already heard the news that Lady Rong and Gu Tingzhou had left one after another. He turned back distressed, gently stroked her cheek, and replied with a smile: "How can I bear to abandon Wan'er again."
After comforting her and letting her lie down again, Fu Mingchi covered her with the quilt and said calmly, "It's just a battle between tired soldiers. Even if Gu Tingchen has the upper hand in Lin'an City, it will only take a moment for me to capture him. Wan'er has worked hard all day. Now that I'm here, don't let your imagination run wild."
Gently rubbing the scar on her palm, Fu Mingchi leaned over and kissed her forehead lightly: "I'll let Yan Jin guard outside, you get a good sleep, I'll be back when it's dawn."
Ye Wanshu nodded. They had already missed the best opportunity to take over Lin'an. She knew that she couldn't be hypocritical any more at this moment and had to let him take back Lin'an with peace of mind.
"I'll wait for you to come back."
Ye Wanshu held the back of his hand and kissed it gently, then pretended to fall asleep.
Looking at her peaceful face, Fu Mingchi finally stood up with relief and walked out of the tent with light steps.
Seeing Yan Jin standing outside the tent, he first asked in a low voice, "How is Zhu Wencai's injury?"
Yan Jin shook his head angrily: "The military doctor has already removed the arrow from General Zhu, but he is still unconscious."
Fu Mingchi nodded thoughtfully: "Protect the princess and His Majesty."
Just as he mounted his warhorse, he suddenly saw Emperor Zhaolie walking out of the tent.
The nephew rushed all the way from Yuezhou and could have gone straight to the palace, but he gave up the throne that was within his grasp and rushed to rescue the emperor. Emperor Zhaolie was quite moved.
"I will go with you," Emperor Zhaolie said in a firm tone.
"Your Majesty." Knowing the danger of this journey, Fu Mingchi looked hesitant.
"No need to say more." Emperor Zhaolie ordered his men to bring the horse and mounted it. "I am also looking forward to retaking Lin'an as soon as possible so that I can drink a glass of wedding wine with you and your niece-in-law."
When the Shenwei Army saw that His Majesty was preparing to lead the army in person, they all showed excitement and shouted loudly, "Long live His Majesty."
Emperor Zhaolie's words immediately boosted the morale of the troops. Fu Mingchi looked at the emperor and smiled faintly. The two men waved their whips and rode excitedly towards Lin'an.
......
In the Cining Palace, Gu Tingchen had just put down Prince Qi's rebel army when he heard that Fu Mingchi had led his men into Lin'an City.
"How dare he lie to me, you bastard!" Gu Tingchen angrily ordered Liu Zhang, "Quickly prepare the army for battle! I will prevent him from leaving Lin'an City."
Liu Zhang raised an eyebrow and said, "Your Highness, Prince Yongning did not attack the palace, but led the Divine Might Army out of the west gate."
"What?" Gu Tingchen was shocked: "What is he doing?"
After a brief thought, he suddenly understood: "How dare this bastard still have such evil intentions towards my cousin."
Gu Tingchen felt unhappy when he thought of the scene of his cousin flirting with him in Yuezhou.
Clenching his fists fiercely, Gu Tingchen shouted, "Immediately count your men and horses, and follow me out of the city to kill this pervert."
Queen Mother Gu was particularly dissatisfied with this: "At this critical moment, you are still thinking about that girl."
Empress Dowager Gu was already angry that the coronation ceremony was disrupted like this, and she became even more furious when she saw her grandson losing his mind.
"Prince Yongning is not a reckless man. He dared to enter Lin'an alone, and it was definitely not an act of impulse." Queen Mother Gu sighed softly, "I'm afraid something happened at Jiayu Pass."
"What does Auntie mean?" Gu Tingchen's eyes widened. "Could it be that Auntie thinks Fu Mingchi sent the Yuezhou Army to pretend to enter the northern border to fight the enemy, but in fact he was taking control of my uncle's military power?"
Empress Dowager Gu remained silent.
Just at this moment, Zhou Fuhai hurried in, followed by officials from the marriage delegation.
"Empress Dowager, Prince Dao'an, something terrible has happened. Duke Ningguo led the Yuezhou army to defraud Marquis Wuping of his tiger talisman." Zhou Fuhai frowned. "According to spies, Duke Ningguo has sent troops to escort Marquis Wuping back to defend Lin'an with 50,000 troops. We're less than 50 miles away."
"Fu Mingchi." Gu Tingchen clenched his fists and said, "I will tear him into pieces today."
