Ye Li lowered her head and said, "Ye Li is just a woman. I really don't have any good ideas for Your Majesty to consider. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. "
Duke Hua furrowed his brows and said somewhat anxiously, "Your Majesty, since the military power of the Ding King's Manor is uncertain, please send Prince Ding back to the capital as soon as possible … No, directly head to the border to lead the troops. Also, this old subject remembers that our Da Chu State has millions of soldiers. Other than the Mohist army and the army in the south that is confronting King Li, we can at least send out a hundred thousand soldiers to support the border. Your Majesty, please send out a group of troops first. " Although Mo Jingqi was somewhat unwilling, it was not easy to refute Duke Hua's words. Just as he was hesitating, Marquis Nan, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "Your Majesty, the Old Duke's words are reasonable. Please send troops to support the border first. The Xiling Army took down two cities in one day and will reach Xinyang in at most ten days. Xinyang is the northwest granary of Da Chu State. If Xinyang falls … "
Mo Jingqi's expression changed. He glanced at Ye Li and gritted his teeth. "Pass down Zhen's decree. Leng Qingyu will be the main general, and Marquis Nan's heir will be the second. Lead a hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and set off today!"
"This general obeys!" Leng Qingyu and Marquis Nan's heir bowed in unison.
Mo Jingqi's mood was clearly not good. With a gloomy face, he waved his hand and dismissed everyone.
After leaving the imperial study, Ye Li accompanied Old Duke Hua out of the palace on foot. Along the way, Old Duke Hua had nothing to say and could only sigh endlessly. When they reached the palace gates, he stopped and looked at Ye Li, saying, "It just so happens that Prince Ding is not in the capital at this time. It's been hard on Princess Consort."
Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled faintly. "I've caused Old Duke to worry. These are only part of Ye Li's duties."
Old Duke Hua shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is really taking it too lightly this time. At the end of the day, he was born in the hands of a woman. Compared to the previous Emperor, he is still far inferior. " Ye Li understood what the Old Duke of Hua meant. When the late Emperor ascended the throne, the West-Hill and the Da Chu State were at war for many years. At that time, Prince Ding Mo Liufang was not only outstanding in governance, but also had outstanding military achievements. He could be said to be the first person after Mo Lanyun in the Ding Royal Residence. Even with such a great reputation, the late Emperor was able to endure and treat Mo Lanyun with great respect and courtesy, all the way until the late Emperor's wings were fully grown, and Mo Liufang relinquished power to him. Although he wasn't a wise ruler, he was still a capable ruler who kept his position. The relationship between him and the Prince Regent became a legend. And now, Mo Jingqi had prematurely expressed his hostility towards the Prince Ding Mansion. Even when Prince Ding had clearly become a cripple and was hiding in the Ding Mansion, he did not give up on suppressing him and suppressing the Mohist army. If he was truly a genius with great talent, it would be fine, but his strength was not enough to suppress the Mohist army. Even if Mo Xiuyao was willing to hand over the Mohist army to him, it was still the same question. Could he really command the Mohist army? With his breadth of mind, could he treat the Mohist army kindly?
"Duke, be careful with your words." Ye Li softly chuckled.
Duke Hua waved his hand, indicating that Ye Li did not need to send him off, and turned to walk towards his carriage. After watching Duke Hua get on the carriage, Ye Li turned back to see the Marquis Nan's heir standing not far away and smiling at her. Ye Li helplessly sighed in her heart. She had only met this brother-in-law a few times and had eaten at the same table in the Ye Mansion. It could be said that she was completely unfamiliar with him. Now that the Ye family had declined, Ye Zhen's life in the Marquis Nan's Mansion was not bad. It could be seen that the people in the Marquis Nan's Mansion knew how to conduct themselves. Because of this, Ye Li was also somewhat polite to him.
"Greetings, Princess."
Ye Li nodded and smiled faintly, "Heir is too polite. Heir, is there something you need? "
The Marquis Nan's heir smiled, "Nothing. Zhen 'er misses Princess very much. If Princess is free, why don't you come to the mansion and sit for a while?"
Hearing this, Ye Li raised her brows in surprise. Currently, the Emperor's attitude towards the Prince Ding Mansion could be seen by anyone. At this time, as the heir, he still invited her to the mansion as a guest … Ye Li's eyes flashed slightly, and she smiled, "It is Eldest Sister's fortune to be able to meet Heir. I hope Heir will take good care of her." The Marquis Nan's heir smiled generously, "Since Zhen 'er has entered the Marquis Nan's Mansion, I naturally treat her as family. Don't worry, Princess. "
Ye Li nodded and said, "Heir will set off for the border tomorrow. I wish you a safe journey."
"Thank you, Princess," the Marquis Nan's heir said, "I will take my leave."
"I won't see you out," Ye Li said.
After watching him walk away, Ye Li looked back at the towering palace gate behind her, frowned, and turned to leave.
Leng Qingyu and the Marquis Nan's heir hurriedly led the troops away the next day. Ye Li, who was standing at the city gate to see them off, looked at the army in the distance, but her frown did not relax. Xiling Jhennam Of Gojoseon was known as the Xiling War God and had been in charge of the Xiling Country for decades. Even Mo Xiuyao might not dare to say that he was certain of victory. Could Leng Qingyu and the Marquis Nan's heir really succeed with a mere 100,000 troops?
"What's wrong, Princess?" Zhuo Jing followed beside Ye Li and asked while looking at her expression.
Ye Li shook her head. Mo Xiuyao was not the only general in the Da Chu State. If she relied on Mo Xiuyao for everything, she would not be able to do anything.
"Third Sister … Princess …" Ye Zhen's voice came from behind. Ye Li turned back and saw Ye Zhen standing beside the heir consort, looking at her in surprise. After not seeing her for a long time, Ye Zhen looked much paler and more haggard than the last time she saw her. Even her eyes were still red, probably because she was worried about her husband going to the battlefield.
The Marquis Nan's heir consort was also a woman from a scholarly family and looked very gentle and virtuous. When she saw Ye Li, she stepped forward and bowed. Then, she politely asked Ye Zhen to speak with Ye Li alone.
The two sisters were not very familiar with each other and only saw each other a few times a year. For a moment, they were speechless.
After a moment of silence, Ye Zhen asked in a low voice, "Has Princess gone home to visit?"
Ye Li shook her head. Now that the Ye family was in decline, Old Madame Ye clearly blamed everything on Ye Li. Every time she saw her, she would use her words to pressure her. After so many years, this was the first time that Ye Li realized that Old Madame Ye was so unafraid of power. Even though Minister Ye did not say anything, the expression on his face faintly showed his dissatisfaction with this daughter of the Princess. Ye Li was not someone who liked to make things difficult for herself. Other than when it was necessary, she was too lazy to go back.
Ye Zhen said in a low voice, "Father plans to go back to his hometown in a few days."
Ye Li nodded and said, "It's good to go back. If he teaches Rong 'er well, the family will still have some wealth. In the future, father and grandmother can enjoy their old age." With the current situation, the Ye family had already withdrawn from the officialdom. Leaving Jing City was the best choice. Otherwise, if he were to be embroiled in those schemes again, it wouldn't be a simple matter of resigning from his position as an official.
Ye Zhen's beautifully decorated brows furrowed slightly. She looked at Ye Li and said, "Third sister, do you really hate father so much that you can't help father?"
Ye Li shook her head and said softly, "Everyone, it is because I don't hate father that I say it is right for him to go back now. Nothing is more important than life. "
