"Luo, your mother! I'm telling you, if you abandon the army and leave first, don't blame me. I can scold you from night to morning."
King Huai replied weakly, "Well, my mother is also your mother."
"You..." Fang Zhiyi held back, "Anyway, listen carefully. Reward according to merit, and stand with the army. Do you understand? No one will care whether you go to see your dream lover or not. They will just think you are anxious to go back and take credit after the battle."
King Huai hesitated for a moment, but finally succumbed to Fang Zhiyi's threat and said, "Okay."
Far away in the capital, Feng Yusheng received a secret report. Prince Huai then realized that Yi Juren had not left the army alone and returned to the capital first. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did I see it wrong?" Looking at the charcoal fire in front of him, Feng Yusheng was thinking about something. An attendant beside him came forward and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Feng Yusheng didn't say anything. He wanted to re-evaluate this seemingly simple-minded King Huai.
King Huai then realized that Yi was an important chess piece. He had military power, but he did not side with any of the princes. He had to keep him firmly under his control.
"So, this man was abandoned, and the woman he liked also ran away." Fang Zhiyi finished speaking.
King Huai blinked and said, "This woman is really bad."
Fang Zhiyi was relieved: "That's right." He didn't believe that there was a bootlicker who couldn't be taught.
"Lolo wouldn't be like that."
"I...."
"Don't you think so?" King Huai looked innocent when he mentioned Princess Charlotte.
Fang Zhiyi was so angry that she simply ignored him and listened to him talking to himself about how extraordinary, beautiful and interesting Charlotte was.
The more Fang Zhiyi listened, the more he felt sorry for him. In the future world, this Charlotte would at best be a green tea supporting actress, with only a few roles to play!
"Listen to me, I guarantee you can succeed." Fang Zhiyi decided to change his strategy.
King Huai was surprised: "Really?"
"I am you, I won't lie to you." Fang Zhiyi said.
King Huai nodded seriously.
"When you return to the capital, don't go anywhere else. First report the results of the battle to the emperor. Do you understand?"
King Huai hesitated for a moment, and Fang Zhiyi immediately said that he didn't care about it, and King Huai agreed.
Standing in the court, King Huai gave a complete report on the process and spoils of victory. The old emperor was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and several princes and ministers also praised him.
"Zhiyi, just tell me what reward you want!" asked the old emperor.
"Really? I want..." He suddenly thought of what Charlotte had said about arranged marriage and her aversion to it, and his eyes dimmed for a moment, "I want..."
Fang Zhiyi added promptly: "I want a big house and some reward money."
King Huai, who was stuck, repeated it word for word.
The old emperor was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Yes, yes, the house your father left you is indeed a little small and unworthy of your status! Come here!"
King Huai reacted and complained: "It's all your fault. Why do I need these things? What does the emperor think of me?"
"You're such a fool, aren't you? You don't want things to show you're noble? If you don't want things, the emperor should figure out what you want that he can't give you! You want your door kicked down while you're sleeping and dozens of people come in?"
