Fu Mingchi angrily drew the sword from Zhu Wencai's waist and ran straight out the door, but as soon as he reached the door, he ran into the cold Ye Wanshu.
The two looked at each other quietly, and Fu Mingchi immediately avoided her and was about to walk out.
Seeing the murderous intent in his eyes, Ye Wanshu was startled and hurried forward to stop him: "Fu Mingchi, what are you going to do?"
During the confrontation with the secret guards just now, she had asked Chunhong to find out some information, and learned that the Daqiu delegation had entered Lin'an, and the wife of Dingyuan Hou and the Mu family army were all killed in Tiemu Pass.
Although she was sad, she knew that this was not the time to vent her anger on Princess Daqiu.
Seizing the knife from his hand, Ye Wanshu hugged him tightly, her heart aching. She soothed him softly, "Duke Ning's family is full of loyal and valiant men. Back then, the Northern Capital was in turmoil, and Jiangnan was also in turmoil. The Duke's three sons all died in battle on the city walls of Gusu, protecting the safety of the southern border. The Mu family soldiers were even more valiant, following Marquis Mu in his campaigns across the country. They died heroically for their country, but our court has been devastated since Marquis Mu's passing. Everyone in the court has been intimidated by the Daqiu people, and I'm afraid they've developed a servile mentality. Although Your Highness and His Majesty both have the ambition to turn the tide, we should both proceed with a slow and steady approach."
She vaguely remembered some interesting stories about Daqiu that she had heard in her previous life. The Daqiu Princess who came to Lin'an this time was not highly regarded by the Daqiu royal family. Although her brother was the Crown Prince of Daqiu, his status had always been coveted by others. The brother and sister were just strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
"Your Highness, have you ever thought carefully about why the Daqiu Iron Cavalry didn't march straight into Jiayu Pass, but instead pretended to come to negotiate peace?"
Ye Wanshu patiently analyzed the situation for him, "On the one hand, they want to force our court to submit, but on the other hand, they brutally murdered the wife of Marquis Dingyuan. This is simply to completely infuriate Your Highness and cause the Daqiu Princess to die in Lin'an. This will arouse the resolve of the people of Daqiu to unite against the enemy and give them more reason to invade the south."
Fu Mingchi had thought of this before, but he was completely blinded by hatred. After listening to Ye Wanshu's words, he gradually became much calmer.
