Jhennam Of Gojoseon's expression was extremely ugly. If Crown Prince Jhennam Of Gojoseon was really beheaded for grave robbing, then Zhennan Palace and the West-Hill would really lose face. However, Feng Zhiyao still made it sound so dignified that no one could refute him. Because grave robbing was indeed a crime, whether it was in the West-Hill or in the Da Chu state. But to put it bluntly, this crime was actually targeted at ordinary people and grave robbers. Even if the royal family dug up the tombs of the previous dynasty, who could do anything about it? But now that Lei Tengfeng was in the hands of Mo Xiuyao, this crime was something that no one could do anything about.
Feng Zhiyao continued his impassioned speech. "The northwest has just been established, and the code of law is not complete yet. It should be punished severely as a warning to others. Moreover, grave robbing is a serious crime that ignores human ethics and disturbs the spirits of the dead. Although it is the imperial tomb of the previous dynasty, if it is not punished severely, it will inevitably give the impression that the northwest has no human ethics. Prince, please reconsider. "
Jhennam Of Gojoseon sighed deeply in his heart, knowing that he was going to fall today no matter what. He stood up and saluted Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao. "My son acted recklessly and committed such a heinous crime. Prince Ding and Princess, please forgive him. The West-Hill and Zhennan Palace are willing to do all we can to compensate the Prince Ding Mansion and the northwest. "
Hearing this, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao looked at each other and smiled knowingly. It was a good thing that he was willing to admit defeat.
In the end, the matter of Lei Tengfeng was satisfactorily resolved by Jhennam Of Gojoseon's compromise, which included the signing of a five-year truce agreement between the West-Hill and the Mohist army, as well as the establishment of trade between the West-Hill and the northwest and the establishment of a direct trade route to the Western Region. Furthermore, the West-Hill would sell a certain amount of copper and iron ore to the northwest at a low price every year as compensation for Lei Tengfeng's actions in the northwest. After coming to the northwest, it could be said that the South Guarding King didn't gain anything at all. Early the next morning, he left Glass City with Lei Tengfeng and returned to the Western Tomb. However, less than half of the troops that had originally come were left when they returned.
Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao did not ask how the Crown Prince and Seventh Prince of the Northern Tribes and Da Chu State's King Li were going to negotiate, and left it to Xu Qingchen and Xu Hongyu to handle. Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao were very confident in the abilities of the two of them. Naturally, they were not worried that they would cause the Mo Family Army to suffer. After Jhennam Of Gojoseon left, Ling Tiehan and his sister, who were staying at the Prince Ding Mansion, also left together. Although the Sickly Scholar, who had not recovered from his illness, still looked as pale as before, his breathing seemed to be much better than before. Ling Tiehan and Leng Liuyue still seemed to be strangely stiff, but that had nothing to do with Ye Li.
In a few days, Xu Qingchen and Xu Hongyu had settled the remaining people. This time, the Mohist army had not only obtained numerous substantial benefits, but also made the nobles of the various countries understand a principle. Even if the Mohist army now only occupied less than one-sixth of the Da Chu State's territory, they were still not to be offended. Ever since Mo Xiuyao announced that he was cutting ties with the Da Chu State, the shaky balance between the various countries was once again maintained.
"Reporting to Wang Fei, Li Wang and Li Wang Fei have come to bid farewell to Wang Fei." After sending away a large group of troublesome people, Ye Li was free and played with Mo Xiaobao. Mo Xiaobao who had been pregnant for almost two months had become even more adorable. His white and chubby little face had two large black crystal eyes. Every time he looked at Ye Li with those watery eyes, she couldn't help but hug him and kiss him. Hearing Qing Luan's report, Ye Li sat up and raised an eyebrow as she asked, "Bid farewell to me?" How come she didn't know that in the eyes of outsiders, she, the Princess Ding, was more important than Prince Ding? If it was because of her relationship with Ye Ying, then from the beginning to the end, she and Ye Ying had never had a sisterly relationship. Qing Luan nodded and said, "Li Wang Fei did say that. Prince and Second Young Master Xu left the city early in the morning. They probably won't be able to come back in time to send Li Wang off. "Ye Li smiled. Mo Xiuyao clearly knew that Mo Jingli was leaving today. If he had the intention to send him off, he wouldn't have left the city.
Thinking about it, Ye Li waved her hand and said, "Forget it, Li Wang and Wang Fei can wait in the reception pavilion."
Qing Luan accepted the order and left. Ye Li changed her clothes before turning to leave. Before she walked out of the inner room, Mo Xiaobao, who was behind her, started to cry out. No one could understand what he was saying. Hearing the sound, Ye Li turned back to look. The little meatball was lying in his swaddling clothes. He reached out his little hand and smiled cutely at Ye Li. His little mouth kept babbling in a language that no one else could understand. Mother Lin smiled and said, "Little Shizi is afraid that he can't bear to part with Wang Fei." Ye Li looked at Baobao's expression and felt very guilty. Baobao had been born for almost two months, but she didn't spend much time with him. Sometimes, not seeing him for one or two days was common. It was rare that Mo Xiaobao could still smile at her so intimately every time he saw her. Carefully carrying Baobao out of the cradle, Ye Li smiled gently and said, "Baobao, be good. Go out with Niangqin, okay?"
Although it was only the eighth month, the weather in the northwest was already cold. When Mother Lin heard that Ye Li wanted to carry Mo Xiaobao out, she hurriedly added a soft and warm blanket over him. She carefully reminded Ye Li not to let the Little Heir catch a cold from the cold wind. Ye Li complied and carried Mo Xiaobao out of the room.
Ye Li carried Mo Xiaobao into the parlor but only saw Mo Jingli sitting in the parlor in a daze. Ye Ying was nowhere to be seen. Ye Li frowned in displeasure. Calling the servant girl who was standing at the door, she asked, "Where did Li Wangfei go?" The servant girl respectfully replied, "Reporting to Wangfei, Li Wangfei said that she wanted to go out for a walk and went to the garden. Nubi will go invite her over now? " Ye Li nodded but was stopped by Mo Jingli who had stood up, "Wait a moment, there's no need to call Ying 'er. Ye Li, I have something to discuss with you alone. " Ye Li turned to look at the man who was still looking at her with a cold and arrogant expression. She found it funny. Waving her hand to dismiss the servant girl, Ye Li stepped into the hall and asked, "What does Li Wang want to discuss with ben fei?"
Mo Jingli frowned as he looked at Mo Xiaobao in Ye Li's arms and Wei Lin and Qing Yu who were following behind Ye Li. He said in displeasure, "I want to discuss with you alone."
Ye Li looked at him in confusion, "There are no outsiders right now. If you have something to say, just say it." Mo Jingli also understood that Ye Li would not be alone with him. He could only swallow his anger and sit back down. Ye Li sat down on the main seat and carefully placed Mo Xiaobao in her arms. She lightly touched his little hand, causing Mo Xiaobao to giggle and reveal a toothless smile. This warm scene between mother and son was an eyesore in Mo Jingli's eyes. He gave a soft snort and looked at Ye Li to say, "I was wrong to break off the engagement. I apologize to you here."
Ye Li stilled and looked in confusion at the solemn Mo Jingli. She turned to look at Wei Lin and Qing Yu. Was Mo Jingli's brain damaged? Wei Lin and Qing Yu also looked like they had seen a ghost. This was not the first day they knew Li Wang. If it was said that he would play some dirty tricks, they would believe it. But if it was said that he would apologize in person, no one had ever seen him do it before. Seeing the disbelieving expressions of the three, Mo Jingli's expression became even uglier. Ye Li was not in the mood to talk about the past with him. She just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. So she gave a faint smile and nodded, saying, "It's already in the past. Li Wang does not need to mind it." Mo Jingli looked seriously at her and said, "How can I not mind it? I've already investigated the matter in the past. It was Ye Ying who deliberately ruined your reputation in order to enter Li Wang Fu. If it wasn't for this, you would be Li Wang Fei right now. " Ye Li instantly felt speechless. At the same time, she felt that she was stupid to think that Mo Jingli would change after experiencing so many things in the past two years.
