Looking at the gleam in Ye Wanshu's eyes, an inexplicable warmth surged into Fu Mingchi's heart.
He could clearly feel that Wan'er had let go of her past grudges against others and was willing to trust him from the bottom of her heart.
He really likes Wan'er like this.
Although the civil unrest has been temporarily settled, he knows that the situation will still be very serious.
The enemies faced by the Daye Dynasty will only be more brutal than the Gu family.
Gently kissing her forehead, Fu Mingchi hugged her tightly from behind and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Wan'er, promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will never put yourself in danger again."
Ye Wanshu could tell he was blaming her for returning to Lin'an alone. She smiled carelessly and said, "Although this trip back to Lin'an was somewhat difficult, I managed to get it done. Your Highness is still blaming me in his heart."
"It's done." Fu Mingchi nodded. "But you hid it from me and everyone else. You were clearly walking on thin ice every day, but you didn't even give an explanation, causing everyone to misunderstand you. You don't feel sorry for yourself, but I do."
"I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have treated you like that."
Hearing Fu Mingchi's suddenly resentful voice, Ye Wanshu felt inexplicably guilty: "I just want to use the smallest price to exchange for peace for everyone."
"You don't have to say sorry to me." Fu Mingchi said fiercely, "I know you care about your family and friends. You think they are important, but I also think you are important. How can I bear to see you endure these grievances alone?"
Turning her around, the two of them faced each other, and Fu Mingchi became even more angry. "The current predicament of the Daye Dynasty was not caused by you. How can I let you bear all this? Besides, you can't reverse the decline by yourself."
Ye Wanshu also agreed with this point.
But given the situation at the time, she had no better solution and had to resort to this last resort.
Seeing Fu Mingchi's unhappy face, Ye Wanshu softened her expression and lay in his arms, rubbing her belly with a deliberately aggrieved look. "Look at your father! We haven't even moved into his house yet, and he's already started lecturing and bullying Mom."
Fu Mingchi's face froze, and he said with some embarrassment, "You haven't even gotten pregnant yet, why is Wan'er complaining about the child?"
"With your Majesty's blessing, I will definitely get pregnant." Ye Wanshu replied playfully.
Just as he finished speaking, Chunhong's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Highness, Miss, General Zhu has something urgent to ask for your audience."
The two exchanged a glance, and Ye Wanshu immediately said, "I'll go with you to see him."
Fu Mingchi's eyes darkened slightly.
Although Zhu Wencai acted rashly, he was also sensible. He and Wan'er had been reunited after a long time, and if it wasn't something extremely urgent, he would never have come to disturb them at this critical juncture.
I'm afraid something big has happened in the court.
Fu Mingchi calmly took Ye Wanshu's arm and sat down beside the bed. A bright smile spread across his face. "Wan'er, you must be feeling a little tired. You should rest in the room first. I'll be back soon."
After comforting her to rest on the bed, Fu Mingchi left in a hurry.
For some reason, Ye Wanshu felt particularly uneasy.
Now that Queen Mother Gu is dead, even if people's hearts are unstable, it will not cause too much trouble unless there is a change in the northern border.
Thinking of this, she immediately stood up and led Chunhong and Xingtao over.
Just as he reached the side room of the outer courtyard, he saw several secret guards suddenly blocking him.
"Princess, His Highness has ordered that he and General Zhu are discussing matters in the hall and no one is allowed to approach." The leader spoke straightly.
Ye Wanshu felt annoyed when she heard this. This was her own house after all, but he was not at all shy and actually stopped her, the host, outside.
Moreover, he was just blaming himself for hiding everything from him, but now the situation is reversed and he actually started to hide things from himself.
There was no intention of retreating. Ye Wanshu looked at the group of secret guards with a cold face and silently stalemate with them.
In the side room, as soon as Fu Mingchi entered, he saw Zhu Wencai holding a black box in his hand with a very gloomy face.
He asked uneasily, "What is it?"
"It was sent by the northern delegation. They said it was a wedding gift for His Highness and the Princess."
At this point, Zhu Wencai's voice gradually became trembling and choked. He wanted to say something but stopped himself several times, and ultimately did not dare to say the next words.
Fu Mingchi immediately opened the box and saw a sticky, fleshy mass inside that had begun to rot.
Looking closely again, it was a woman's breast milk, and Fu Mingchi's uneasiness immediately rose to his throat.
It was sent from the north, and was specifically given to him, so it could only have belonged to his aunt.
Seeing the sinister look in His Highness's eyes, Zhu Wencai fell heavily to his knees and reported in agony, "The northern bandits' cavalry suddenly attacked Tiemu Pass. Marquis Dingyuan's wife and the Mu family army retreated to Jiayu Pass to protect the people of the various states. The entire army was killed. Princess Daqiu harvested Marquis Dingyuan's wife's breast milk and sent it to Lin'an. She also boiled the wife's body into broth and sent it to Duke Ningguo. Upon hearing the news of the wife's death, the Duke fell seriously ill. I don't know what his current condition is."
Hearing this, Fu Mingchi closed the box with great heartache and secretly clenched his fists.
"Princess Daqiu led an envoy to Lin'an and ordered His Majesty to submit to Daye. She also ordered His Majesty to send Princess Jinghe and the tens of thousands of women who had been taken to Daqiu's capital, threatening a bloodbath in Lin'an if he failed to do so."
Zhu Wencai's expression grew increasingly indignant. "Right now, the entire city of Lin'an is in a state of panic. All the civil and military officials have come to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to implore Your Majesty to pray for peace with Daqiu. Your Majesty has been so enraged that he's bedridden."
Fu Mingchi narrowed his eyes and snorted disdainfully: "What a bunch of spineless people."
