Ye Wanshu suddenly became a little worried that Concubine Zhang would return, and whispered, "Fu Mingchi, why don't you go back home tonight?"
"Wan'er is scared now?"
Fu Mingchi smiled gently and pursed her lips: "But Wan'er just said that she would make it up to me tonight."
With so many people watching over her at the mansion, Ye Wanshu felt less at ease than before. She deliberately evaded the question, "If love lasts forever, it doesn't matter if we're together day and night. Our most important thing now is..."
Fu Mingchi extended his slender index finger and placed it against her lips: "The most important thing now is of course to make up for the pain of separation in the past few days. This palace wants both a long and lasting relationship and every day and every night."
Knowing she couldn't resist him, Ye Wanshu could only close her eyes and let those alluring lips sweep over her neck.
......
In the newly built East Palace compound, before the wedding ceremony was held, Helian Jiu couldn't wait to move in, as if she was the mistress of the East Palace.
But as she didn't see Fu Mingchi every day, she couldn't help but burst out with the resentment in her heart.
"Where did His Highness go today?" Helian Jiu angrily asked the maid, "The Imperial Palace or the Yongning Palace?"
The maid quickly shook her head: "His Highness has not entered the palace, and the Yongning Palace has been sealed off."
"Then we went to that bitch's house." Helian Jiu immediately called the guards: "Follow this princess to Ji's house."
"Princess, our Great Ye Dynasty has always been governed by filial piety and family harmony. The Concubine Dowager is staying at the Ji Mansion. If you go and cause trouble, it will only make the Concubine Dowager even more dissatisfied with you." The maid advised, "What if His Highness is not at the Ji Mansion? Wouldn't that backfire?"
"This princess has no regard for these convoluted rules." Helian Jiu said, "Since he refuses to see me, then this princess will make him beg me obediently."
Come to think of it, it's also my fault that I've been too kind to him these days and haven't put enough pressure on him.
It seems like it's time to show him the iron-blooded skills of the Daqiu people.
"Go, this princess will make the entire Lin'an city restless tonight," Helian Jiu ordered.
The officials understood what he meant and left the palace one after another, preparing to make a big fuss in the city. When they were walking on the street, they happened to meet Zhu Wencai who was leading his troops on patrol.
Thinking of these beasts causing trouble in the market during the day, Zhu Wencai was a little angry, but thinking of His Highness's instructions, he had to restrain his temper and deliberately approached to ask in a flattering manner: "It's so late, where are you all going?"
"Go away, don't disturb me from having fun." The leading general pushed Zhu Wencai away and said viciously, "General Zhu, we are following the princess's orders. If you dare to stop us again, don't blame us for being rude."
"Yes, yes, His Highness has already reprimanded me for what happened today." Zhu Wencai took out the roster His Highness had given him and said with a cold smile, "So I specially compiled a list of beauties for your entertainment while you go on duty."
The man took the roster and looked at it: "Wow, I didn't expect that the Vice Prime Minister's residence also has so many beauties hidden."
"The girls of ordinary families are just ordinary people. The most beautiful girls in Lin'an are naturally hidden in the inner courtyards." Zhu Wencai said, "The Deputy Prime Minister is loyal to the country and hopes to curry favor with you and get a job."
"I didn't expect General Zhu to be so sensible." The leader patted Zhu Wencai on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "I won't bother with you about the daytime quarrel."
After that, the group went straight to the house on the roster.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Wencai smiled faintly and then disappeared into the night.
That night, the entire Lin'an City was not in turmoil as Helian Jiu had wished, but few of the court officials' families were at ease.
The Daqiu delegation rushed into the mansion, robbed and raped many women. For a time, people were in panic. As soon as the sun rose, Li Youzhen brought many ministers into the palace to appeal for justice.
However, Emperor Zhaolie has been in poor health recently and has no time to care about these things. A group of people searched everywhere for the prince but couldn't find him. They all gathered together in a panic and complained.
"What should we do?" Minister of Revenue Lou Yan, covering his bruised face, complained to Li Youzhen, "Didn't the Vice Minister say that if we could persuade His Majesty to submit, the two countries would form a permanent alliance? Is this the result you wanted?"
Li Youzhen did not expect that the people of Daegu would be so arrogant and unreasonable.
Thinking about the scene when the Daqiu people rushed into the mansion at night, he still felt scared.
These beasts even spared no young girl who had not yet reached marriage age. He had to find justice.
"I'm afraid His Highness has gone to the Ji family." Li Youzhen said, "It must be because of that witch in the Ji family that Princess Daqiu got angry and implicated us. Let's go to the Ji family."
So, a group of people went straight to Ji's house without saying anything.
In a secluded corner of the Ji Mansion, Fu Mingchi was listening with great interest to Zhu Wencai's report on what had happened in Lin'an City that night, when suddenly a secret guard arrived with an announcement: "Your Highness, the Vice Minister is here with the court officials."
"It seems that Li Ci Fu doesn't really want a Daqiu man to be his son-in-law." Fu Mingchi smiled coldly.
"Your Highness, do you want to see them?" Zhu Wencai asked.
Fu Mingchi shook his head: "It's time to compete with Daqiu's cavalry."
Zhu Wencai quite agrees with this.
Right now, the entire Daqiu is probably complacent and is thinking of ways to enslave and oppress the people of Daye. If we take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Daqiu army, we might get unexpected gains.
His Highness had previously ordered Yu Bai to lead the Xie brothers to secretly leave Jiayu Pass, which must have been a setup for this.
"I'm going to rush to Jiayu Pass myself," Fu Mingchi said thoughtfully, "as for Lin'an City, let those corrupt scholars accompany the Daqiu people to stir up trouble for a while longer."
