"This subordinate greets the Princess."
Ye Li was wearing a plain white robe, her cloud-like hair casually tied into a simple bun. A white flower was pinned into the bun, making her look even colder and paler. Standing on Ye Li's left was Mo Xiaobao, who was wearing a black brocade robe and a white muslin robe. As soon as he entered, Mo Xiaobao glared fiercely at Lei Zhenting.
Looking at Mo Xiaobao who was glaring at him, Lei Zhenting couldn't help but smile. In his heart, he sighed that Mo Xiuyao had given birth to a good son. Although he was still young, he already had the style of his father. Just by looking at his round and cute eyes that couldn't hide his shrewdness, he knew that this kid was definitely not as cute and obedient as he looked on the surface.
"Princess Ding, Shizi, please restrain your grief." Lei Zhenting stood up and cupped his hands.
Ye Li nodded slightly and said with a faint smile, "I'll have to trouble Jhennam Of Gojoseon to personally make a trip. Jhennam Of Gojoseon, please sit. " Lei Zhenting looked at Ye Li and said with a sincere face, "I also feel very sorry for Prince Ding's sudden death. Although the Prince Ding Mansion is the enemy of the West-Hill, it is also an opponent that I respect. I came this time to mourn Prince Ding, and also to discuss the matter of peace with the Prince Ding Mansion. "Satisfied to see the flash of surprise in Ye Li's eyes, Lei Zhenting smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
Feng Zhiyao and Leng Haoyu also stared at Lei Zhenting in disbelief. Everyone was well aware of the relationship between the Prince Ding Mansion and the West-Hill. Once Lei Zhenting confirmed that Prince Ding was really gone, he would definitely immediately annex the Prince Ding Mansion without hesitation. At this moment, only a fool would believe that he was a gentleman and would not bully a widow and an orphan.
Ye Li raised her eyebrows and looked at Lei Zhenting with a faint smile. "Peace talks?"
Lei Zhenting nodded and said, "That's right. Now that Prince Ding has passed away, I'm sure … Princess Ding won't be able to cope for the time being. If the Princess agrees, the West-Hill is willing to make peace with the Prince Ding Mansion. "Ye Li smiled and said," If so, the Prince Ding Mansion would be more than happy to oblige. Here, this consort thanks Jhennam Of Gojoseon. "
Looking at Ye Li's decent smile, Lei Zhenting frowned in his heart. However, there was a trace of exhaustion in her eyes. For a moment, he couldn't tell if Ye Li was putting on an act or if it was real. Even with his experience in reading people, he couldn't see any flaws in Ye Li. Just now, when he said peace talks, he just wanted to test Ye Li's thoughts and the Chu Jing in the Prince Ding Mansion. But Ye Li's attitude made him unable to figure out the situation inside the Prince Ding Mansion.
"Reporting to the Princess, the Emperor of Chu is outside the pass asking for an audience." Outside the door, the guard reported loudly.
Lei Zhenting's eyes flashed slightly, but there was no other expression on his face. He looked sideways at Ye Li sitting at the head of the table, wanting to see how she planned to deal with it. He heard Ye Li say indifferently, "Emperor Chu has come from afar. Invite him in. Feng San, bring the heir to welcome Emperor Chu. "The etiquette of a formal occasion couldn't be neglected because of something. Even though it looked like Jhennam Of Gojoseon was more powerful than Mo Jingli, Mo Jingli was still the ruler of a country. Sending someone to welcome him was the proper etiquette.
"This subordinate obeys." Feng Zhiyao replied in a deep voice.
"This child obeys." Mo Xiaobao jumped down from the chair next to Ye Li and followed Feng Zhiyao out.
"The subordinates of the Prince Ding Mansion are truly loyal." Lei Zhenting looked at Feng Zhiyao walking out and said meaningfully. With Feng Zhiyao's arrogance, going out to welcome Mo Jingli was enough to show the Prince Ding Mansion's allegiance to Ye Li. It was clear that the Prince Ding Mansion didn't have the slightest bit of chaos in Ye Li's hands. Even if it was true … … the loss was only Mo Xiuyao. Thinking of this, Lei Zhenting looked at Ye Li with an even more complicated expression. He secretly regretted that Ye Li had actually escaped Ling Tiehan's assassination a few days ago.
Leng Haoyu, who was sitting at the side, snorted and said with a smile, "Jhennam Of Gojoseon is too kind. A loyal subject doesn't serve two masters. We are just doing what we should do. "Looking at Leng Haoyu's unkind eyes, Lei Zhenting didn't care and smiled faintly.
Ye Li glanced at Leng Haoyu with a smile and didn't feel offended at all, "Jhennam Of Gojoseon is right. If it weren't for their help these days. This concubine is really … … a little powerless. "
"In this case, why doesn't Princess Ding invite Young Master Qingchen to preside over the overall situation?" Lei Zhenting asked. This was also what he was most confused about. Under normal circumstances, if Mo Xiuyao was really dead, then the Prince Ding Mansion was bound to support Mo Yuchen to take the throne. But now Mo Yuchen was less than nine years old. Naturally, it was impossible for him to take charge of the Prince Ding Mansion and the Mohist army. Therefore, Ye Li should summon Xu Qingchen or Xu Hongyu to preside over the overall situation in the Feihong Pass. But now, no one from the Xu family appeared, which made Lei Zhenting suspicious of Mo Xiuyao's death.
Ye Li smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Glass City also needs my eldest brother to preside over the overall situation, what's more … …" Shaking her head, Ye Li didn't say anything more. Undoubtedly, it made people more fanciful. Of course, Lei Zhenting knew the importance of the entire northwest to the Prince Ding Mansion. What's more, after the news of Mo Xiuyao's death came out, he secretly ordered the troops in Xiling to move to the north. He didn't really want to attack the original Emperor Of Xiling, but to contain Zhang Qilan's army stationed in the west.
There was also the Northern Tribes. Mo Xiuyao had just destroyed almost half of the troops of the Northern Tribes, and a prince had died. Now that he heard the news of Mo Xiuyao's death, how could the King of the Northern Tribes not come out to make trouble to save his face? Therefore, at this time, whether the northwest, especially Glass City, could be stabilized was particularly important. As long as the northwest was still there, even if the Mohist army was defeated this time, there was still a place to retreat. When Mo Yuchen grew up in a few years, it was not impossible for the Mohist army to make a comeback. After all, according to Lei Zhenting's understanding of the bloodline inheritance of the Prince Ding Mansion, there was almost no doubt that Mo Yuchen could take charge alone when he was a teenager. Of course, Lei Zhenting didn't intend to give him this opportunity.
Looking at Ye Li's hesitant appearance, Lei Zhenting believed the news of Mo Xiuyao's death even more. Lei Zhenting didn't care that Ye Li didn't cry like an ordinary girl, and her beautiful face was pale. After all, Ye Li wasn't an ordinary girl. If she really couldn't control herself at this time, Lei Zhenting would suspect her or look down on her.
"Princess! Princess, it's not good! "Outside the door, a guard hurried in to report. Ye Li frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?" The guard looked at Lei Zhenting and said with some difficulty, "Little Prince … Little Prince injured Emperor Chu."
Everyone present was stunned. No matter how powerful Mo Xiaobao was, he was only an eight or nine year old child. How could he injure Mo Jingli? The guard saw everyone's doubtful eyes and quickly said, "It's true, Little Prince … Little Prince fiercely bit Emperor Chu."
"Is Little Prince okay?" Leng Haoyu quickly asked. He didn't have much hope for Mo Jingli's character. Mo Jingli was a petty person. He wouldn't let Mo Xiaobao off just because he was a child. The guard wiped his sweat and said, "Little Prince is fine … but Little Prince said that he wanted to kill Emperor Chu. Young Master Feng San couldn't stop him. Princess, please go and take a look. "
