Watching Ji Yuan striding towards her, Ye Wanshu felt extremely unlucky.
I'm about to leave, how could I run into my cheap dad again?
"Wanwan, take Miss Mu back to the carriage and leave the city quickly."
Ji Yuan strode quickly to Ye Wanshu and gently reminded her, "It's inconvenient to travel at night. Rest for a night at Shituo Inn before setting off again."
After saying that, he ordered Tingfeng to take people to escort her to the carriage.
"No, I can walk by myself."
Ye Wanshu stopped Tingfeng, took Mu Qingqing and Xiao Zhang and walked towards the carriage.
Ji Yuan felt a chill in his heart, knowing that the girl was still angry with him. He could only force a smile and said, "Wanwan, the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan cannot leave Lin'an for the time being. His Majesty has ordered the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan to lead the Mu family army north."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanshu and Mu Qingqing were both stunned.
Little Zhang, however, seemed to have foreseen the future and said with a smile, "Princess, I'll trouble you to help take care of her."
Although this imperial edict helped Mu Qingqing and Xiao Zhang out of trouble, Ye Wanshu could sense the emperor's strong calculating intentions in it, and she looked unwilling.
Perhaps this is the king's strategy. The emperor has been suppressed by the Gu family and the empress dowager for so many years. Even in his twilight years, he is still trying every means to regain power, even reusing his father, a stingy minister who is criticized by others, and using a woman like Xiao Zhang who has lived in seclusion in a deep house for many years to cultivate power in the army.
Being at the center of the vortex between two forces, she couldn't tell right from wrong, but felt that this world was extremely sad.
Seeing his daughter's face filled with grief and indignation, Ji Yuan lowered his voice, "Wanwan, this is the best solution at the moment. Your Majesty needs to build up his own influence in the army. This will keep your Aunt Zhang and Miss Mu away from Lin'an. This will benefit both the Mu family and the Mu family army."
Glancing at little Zhang, he added, "Besides, it was your aunt Zhang's own wish to follow the army north."
Although she didn't have a good impression of her adoptive father, Ye Wanshu had to agree with what he said.
Perhaps she could not understand many of Xiao Zhang's thoughts, but she could probably feel the extraordinary pride of a daughter of a general and her deep affection for Marquis Mu.
She was unable to make a decision on this matter. When she looked at Mu Qingqing blankly, the well-behaved girl was already in tears.
"Okay, go quickly, girl, don't delay the princess."
Little Zhang comforted her, "Mother, you will definitely lead your uncles and aunts of the Mu family army back in triumph. If you want to go back to Lin'an, mother will stay with you there. If you want to go back to Gusu, mother will accompany you back there."
After much coaxing, Mu Qingqing finally said goodbye and got into the carriage with Ye Wanshu.
As she watched the carriage leave the city, a relieved smile appeared on Xiao Zhang's face.
"Thank you so much, Prime Minister, today," little Zhang said with sincere gratitude.
Ji Yuan responded with a smile, but when he looked at Liu Zhang, his eyes suddenly sank.
"Why, Commander Liu, you still don't want to leave? Do you want me to personally accompany you to the Duke's Mansion to apologize to that bastard?" Ji Yuan shouted angrily at the unwilling Liu Zhang.
With the emperor's edict and the man in front of him being the young master's future father-in-law, Liu Zhang did not dare to act rashly.
Moreover, the young master and the duke were both at home. Mu Qingqing should have obtained their consent before she could leave the house with her cousin. I'm afraid she was indeed overstepping her bounds.
After bowing with apology, Liu Zhang had no choice but to lead the city defense battalion to retreat to the camp in an orderly manner.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang also bowed, took the imperial edict, and went to the marquis' mansion with several generals of the Mu family army.
After everyone dispersed, Ji Yuan looked in the direction his daughter's carriage had disappeared and said anxiously, "Hurry up and drive the horses. I still have to see Wanwan off."
Ting Feng said helplessly, "Master, the young lady has already left. You still have to go to court tomorrow. I will protect her well."
"I have to see her off to court," Ji Yuan said. "Wanwan will definitely rest at Shituo Posthouse. I don't know when she'll be willing to return to Lin'an. I'll just watch her from afar before returning to the city."
Ting Feng had no choice but to help him get on the carriage and chase him out of the city.
…
The carriage of Prince Yongning's Palace galloped on the road for three days and finally arrived at Ji Kang County.
This is a small county located on the border of Yuezhou. Although it is a little far from Yuezhou, due to its mild climate and beautiful environment, it has become a livable small city that all the people of Daye yearn for.
Lifting the carriage curtain, Fu Yunni gazed at the bustling city around her, which was no less bustling than Yuezhou City. She kept mumbling to herself, "No wonder my beautiful sister is so beautiful. It turns out she was born in such a beautiful place."
The little boy looked around with his clear, watery eyes, but no one around him said a word. He suddenly became anxious: "Brother, you're going to see your beautiful sister soon, why aren't you happy at all? How can you marry her back home like this?"
Fu Mingchi became a little impatient after hearing this. He found a piece of pastry in the car, stuffed it into her mouth, and lowered the car curtain.
Beneath his seemingly nonchalant face, ripples had already formed in his heart, and he began to adjust his expression calmly.
Actually, he had never met her properly. Every time they met in a hurry, they parted in a hurry. Even the close contact that night seemed unreal to him.
The closer he got to the Ye family's house, the more restless his heart became. After twenty years of military service, he had seen all kinds of storms and waves, but today's situation made even himself feel a little strange.
It turns out that there are things in this world that make people dream about them.
After finishing a piece of cake, Fu Yunni saw that the iceberg next to him was still silent, so she started nagging again: "I wish to win the heart of one person, so as not to go on blind dates all the time. Big brother, you should be more careful this time, otherwise when you return to the palace, mother will match you up with other people again."
