Ye Li looked at Marquis Nan and clearly saw the exhaustion and sadness in his eyes. She didn't know what Leng Qingyu said to him, but she could roughly guess because there was still no news of Marquis Nan's heir. It was hard not to have some bad thoughts about it. She glanced at Marquis Nan worriedly, and Marquis Nan nodded at her to indicate that he was fine.
Despite Marquis Nan's statement, everyone's expressions still didn't improve. After so many years, the Mohist army no longer had much hope for that person in the palace. Ye Li saw everyone's expression, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she turned around and discussed the war with the generals.
After the discussion, everyone took their leave. Marquis Nan still sat in his seat without moving. Ye Li originally thought that Marquis Nan had something to say, but when everyone left, she realized that Marquis Nan was just in a daze. She frowned slightly and called out worriedly, "Marquis?"
Marquis Nan's eyes were blank, and it took him a while to recover. He still looked at Ye Li in a daze and said slowly, "Princess Consort, sorry to disturb you. This marquis will also take his leave. "
Ye Li shook her head and said, "Marquis Nan, the heir's identity is different. No news is good news now. There are many important matters in the army that require Marquis Nan's decision. Marquis Nan forced a smile and looked up at Ye Li. "The old duke once said that Princess Consort is an extraordinary person. This marquis has seen it all along the way. I still have to trouble Princess Consort with all the matters in the army. This marquis … this marquis is afraid that I can't do it. "
"Marquis Nan …"
Ye Li still wanted to say something, but Marquis Nan waved his hand and said, "This marquis will take his leave first. Princess Consort should also rest early. "
Watching Marquis Nan walk out of the door, Ye Li finally swallowed her words. "Marquis Nan, take care."
Late at night, Ye Li strolled along the winding corridor in the study. She looked up at the silver moon in the sky and frowned slightly. Soon, it would be the night of the next full moon. However, there was still no news of Mo Xiuyao who had gone to the Northern Tribes. She could not help but worry. Furthermore, Marquis Nan had already made it clear that he did not wish to take charge. This was the first time in her life that she was leading an army of hundreds of thousands. She was not as calm and confident as she appeared. Xiu Yao … where are you now …
"Who?! Come out! "Under the moonlight, Ye Li suddenly came back to her senses and pointed at the end of the corridor behind her.
After a while, a tall figure walked out from the corner. Ye Li was slightly taken aback. She raised her brows and narrowed her cold eyes. "Heir Mu, what are you doing here so late at night?" Mu Yang's expression was somewhat complicated as he looked at Ye Li's hand that was facing him. That pair of slender jade-like hands concealed a murderous intent. Mu Yang coughed lightly. "This one did not mean to offend. Please forgive me for disturbing Princess." Ye Li smiled faintly and calmly withdrew her hand into her sleeve. She raised her hand and stroked the hair by her ear. "It's so late. Heir Mu, do you have something to say?"
A surprised expression flashed across Mu Yang's face. Very quickly, Mu Yang smiled faintly. "Princess is indeed quick-witted. This one is just … has Marquis Nan agreed to hand over the decision-making power of the army to Princess? "
Ye Li raised her brows and smiled faintly. "Heir Mu may be the heir of Marquis Muyang, but you are not Marquis Muyang himself. Furthermore, even Marquis Muyang does not have the right to intervene in the military matters. Heir Mu, you are only Marquis Nan, a lieutenant under the Deputy Commander of the army. " Towards Ye Li's obvious contempt, Mu Yang did not get angry. He leaned against the railing of the corridor with his hands behind his back. "This one thinks that Princess knows the true meaning and function of this one's lieutenant status?" Ye Li raised her brows and smiled. "So what? Marquis Nan's heart is broken. Marquis Nan's heir's life and death is unknown. He is unable to command the army. Now that the Xiling Army is at the city gates, what does Lieutenant Mu think we should do? "
Facing the calmness of the woman in front of him, Mu Yang could not help but feel helpless and tired from the bottom of his heart. Of course, he understood Princess Ding's meaning. It was already difficult for Marquis Nan to control the Mohist army with his identity. Not to mention that he did not even have the time to change the commander. Although he had the identity of heir, he only had the military position of a lieutenant. Not to mention commanding the Mohist army, even if he wanted to lead a part of the Mohist army, without Princess Ding's approval, no one would accept it. Mu Yang was never a person who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Therefore, he did not have any plans to seize control of the Mohist army. However, the woman standing in front of him was clearly a woman who was not even twenty years old. But the aura and sharpness in her movements made him, a man of seven feet, unable to help but admire her. This kind of woman had completely surpassed the meaning and scope of a woman in Mu Yang's understanding. It was as if she did not need to rely on anyone, and no one could stop her. No one could stand in front of her. Mu Yang suddenly thought of the handsome man who was still elegant and calm even when sitting in a wheelchair. In this world, only that kind of man could match this kind of woman.
"Heir Mu?" Ye Li looked at the person who was looking at her and frowned.
Mu Yang came back to his senses and smiled apologetically. "Princess has misunderstood this one's meaning. This one did not intend to make things difficult for Princess."
Ye Li raised her brows, but smiled without saying anything. Mu Yang said, "Right now, Prince Li's rebellion in the south has not been quelled, and Xiling is invading. In the north, the Northern Tribes are eyeing covetously. The only ones who can wipe out the enemy are the King's household and the Mohist army. Although Mu Yang is not talented, but I know that the world is most important. Why should I make things difficult for Princess? " Ye Li looked at him and smiled faintly. "Heir Mu is not making things difficult for this consort. Aren't you afraid that the person in the palace will make things difficult for you?" Mu Yang laughed heartily. "Many thanks for Princess's concern. This one naturally knows. But there is a small matter that I hope Princess will agree to. "
"Heir Mu, speak frankly."
Mu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "This one does not know if my father and the Ding King's household have any unpleasant past. I only hope that Princess will give this one face and be magnanimous."
Ye Li was surprised and sighed after a long time. "Marquis Muyang has a good son. With a son like this, Marquis Muyang should be satisfied for life. Alright, this consort promises you. "
Mu Yang cupped his hands and said, "Many thanks, Princess."
Ye Li shook her head. "Heir Mu does not need to thank me. This consort is not at a disadvantage in making this deal with Heir Mu. After all, compared to the matters on the battlefield, the other small grudges are nothing. " Mu Yang chuckled in a low voice: "Hearing Wangfei's words, this one feels ashamed and unable to show his face."
Ye Li smiled. "It's my slip of the tongue. Heir Mu, please do not blame me. It's getting late. Heir Mu should rest early. "
"Princess, please wait!" Mu Yang impatiently said, "Princess, may I ask …. Do you have any news about Yaoji?" Ye Li turned around in surprise. Under the moonlight, she could clearly see the undisguised worry and longing on the man's face. Ye Li shook her head and looked at the disappointment that flashed across Mu Yang's face. She softly said, "Heir Mu, some people and some things are missed."
