"My aunt has lived in Lin'an for a long time, but it seems she still can't see through people's hearts."
Fu Mingchi finally spoke, "Daye's kingdom is not ruled by the Ji family nor the Gu family. Our Majesty was able to secure the royal foundation under the all-powerful Gu family. He has his own strategies. If he continues to flatter the powerful relatives of the emperor, he will only end up snaring himself."
After saying this, he glanced at Zhang seriously and finally said, "Being a loyal minister may not bring you fame and fortune, but it will allow you to relax and live in peace. Moreover, the soldiers I raise in Yuezhou are not used to kill each other, but to help me recover the northern border in the future."
Although his tone was calm, it seemed to contain overwhelming power, which was deafening to the ears.

"In that case, I'll tell someone to take good care of it. After all, guests are guests, and we can't fail to show proper hospitality."
Zhang got up feeling a little depressed, went outside to call her personal maid and went straight to her daughter's room.
Fu Mingchi sat upright beside the coffee table, his mind lingering with the scene in the carriage just now. He couldn't help but take out the blue handkerchief, holding it in his hand and looking at it quietly for a while.
Looking at the word "叶" embroidered on the handkerchief and thinking about the woman's dress and behavior, she didn't seem like a girl from an ordinary family.
