Li Yi didn't know what kind of path Zhao Yi would take in the future, but for now, he could be called a great ruler.
However, since ancient times, there were so many people who wanted to rule the world, but how many of them did it in the end?
The Jing Kingdom couldn't win, and the Wu Kingdom didn't dare to fight. He unified the world with words.
He could continue to dream of unification, but Li Yi just wanted to hold Ruyi and Wanru in his arms.
Unfortunately, they wouldn't let him hold either of them.
Along the way, Ruyi avoided him. She and Wanru were in the same carriage, so he couldn't see either of them.
What kind of person was she? After confessing, she acted as if nothing had happened and didn't need to take responsibility?
Bored, Li Yi took out three tokens and played with them in his hand.
The token looked like jade, and he didn't know what material it was made of. There was an azure dragon, a white tiger, and a blurry portrait of a woman, which represented the Empress.
The real leaders of the Holy Religion were the two goddesses and the two protectors.
Ruoqing didn't need any token to prove her identity, because her face was the proof of her identity.
Therefore, the Saint only had three tokens. Gathering all three of them together, even though they couldn't summon the Dragon God, they had full control over the Saint.
This was Li Yi's goal a long time ago.
However, now that he had achieved it, he didn't seem to be as happy as he imagined.
Li Yi kept the three tokens and would give them to Ruoqing when he returned.
Li Yi also asked Xu Zheng to remove all the spies planted by the Holy Religion in the Qi Kingdom, including the generals who actually held power in Gyeonggi, back to Ruyi City.
These tricks were useless in front of Zhao Yi.
Since Li Yi had withdrawn the soldiers besieging the capital and stabilized his position on the throne, he disdained playing around with these things.
As for his lofty dream of unifying the world, let's wait and see for now.
This trip will pass by Fengzhou, so Wanru has some time to make arrangements for the Lin family.
The Lin family's jewelry business and other businesses had been separated by her a long time ago. She had handed over the Lin family's assets to the Lin family to manage.
As for the cloth, clothes, liquor, and perfume, they were the dowry she had prepared for herself.
A person's energy was limited. No matter how much money he had, it was useless. After discussing with her, Li Yi decided to gradually withdraw from the market of the Qi Kingdom. If the merchants of the Qi Kingdom wanted to buy these goods, Ruyi City was a good place to do so.
When she entered the house, Ruoqing did not have to be so busy.
They walked and played along the way. Zhao Yi had already cleaned up all the provinces and mansions of the Qi Kingdom. After the turmoil this time, the Qi Kingdom's vitality was greatly damaged. It would probably take a long time to recuperate. Zhao Yi had just ascended the throne, so it would also take a long time to stabilize the situation in the court.
They stayed in Fengzhou for about five days. After thoroughly making arrangements for the Lin family, they set off again.
Ruyi City.
Ruyi, Ruoqing, and Zuimo had already returned. They were not surprised that Wanru came back with them this time.
Li Duan walked around the room. With his hands clasped behind his back, he walked up to Wanru. He opened his mouth and immediately closed it.
Wanru looked at him and asked in confusion, "Duaner, what's wrong?"
Li Duan asked in confusion, "Should I call her aunt or mother?"
Wanru's face turned red. Ruyi walked to his side and said, "You'll have to call her mother in the future."
Li Duan nodded, not really understanding what she meant.
"Mother." He looked up at Wanru and called out with a smile.
Indeed, there was no difference between aunt and mother.
Wanru's aunt became mother when she came back with his father. Little aunt should also become mother when she came back with his father, right?
She would not spank him in the future, would she?
Then he ran to Miss.Liu's side and said happily, "Mother."
The room suddenly became a little quiet.
Wanru looked at Li Yi and quickly looked away.
Ruoqing and Zuimo looked over in confusion.
Xiao Huan was stunned, and then a happy expression appeared on her face.
Ruyi looked at Li Duan, shook her head and said, "Duaner, have you even forgotten your aunt?"
A trace of panic appeared on Miss.Liu's face, but she quickly calmed down. She picked up Li Duan and said, "I'll go out and talk to Duaner. He will remember soon."
Li Duan was spanked and ran away with his hands covering his butt. He no longer dared to call Ruyi mother.
When only he and Ruyi were left in the room, Ruyi picked up the horsetail whisk and said, "I just thought of something when I heard you say it."
"When father was still alive, he mentioned it a few times. At that time, Ruyi was still young and may not remember …" Ruyi sat on the bed and said, "Father said that when he was young, he went out to wander in Jianghu and once met a woman …"
"He said that the woman was carrying something very heavy on her back. They were not the same people, and then it was left unsettled …" Ruyi carefully put down the horsetail whisk and said, "I was not old at that time and didn't understand what father said. I didn't expect that the Taoist priest was the woman that father met back then."
Ruyi didn't know much, and Li Yi only heard a few words, not a vigorous love and hatred.
Li Yi held her hand and said, "The dead are gone. Let the past be the past."
Ruyi nodded. Li Yi looked out of the window for a long time and then looked back at Ruyi with a serious expression.
He held her hand and said, "When we were in Victory State, something happened."
He decided to tell Ruyi about it as soon as possible. He couldn't leave this problem to Ruyi.
Ruyi looked at him and asked, "You want to talk about Ruyi, right?"
At this moment, the feeling in Li Yi's heart was hard to describe with words. He looked at Ru Yi, and there seemed to be thousands of thoughts in his heart. He thought for a long time, opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
Ruyi smiled and said, "Becoming a supreme power is Ruyi's wish since she was young. I'm happy for her."
Li Yi shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about Ruyi's breakthrough …"
Ruyi looked at him and shook her head slightly. She said, "Let me finish first, husband."
Li Yi nodded.
"Ruyi is two years younger than me. We grew up together. My father and mother passed away early, so I had to take care of her since she was young. I gave in to her in everything and didn't want her to suffer any grievances …"
"But, actually, all along, it wasn't me who gave in to her …" Ru Yi tightened her grip on his hand and said, "Ruyi has been stubborn since she was young. Sometimes, she doesn't even listen to her father, but she has always listened to me. I don't need to give in to her at all, because she won't fight with me for anything …"
"At that time, father came back to buy pastries. She clearly liked them, but she always pretended that she didn't like them and left the last piece for me. Her favorite autumn water was actually left for me by father. I knew she liked it, so I didn't dare to show even a little bit of liking. Because as long as I liked it, she definitely wouldn't want it …" Ru Yi held his hand even more tightly and said, "Actually, all along, it was she who gave way to me …"
Li Yi's hand hurt a little. This was a sign that Ruyi had lost control of her emotions.
This was the first time she had said these words to him, and it was also the first time she had lost control of her emotions.
"Actually, she's more like a sister than I am …" Two streams of tears rolled down Ruyi's face. She leaned against Li Yi's chest and continued, "She gave everything she liked to me. She gave the Grandmaster title to me. She gave the husband to me. She could have broken through to the Grandmaster stage earlier. She could have met the husband earlier …"
"We promised when we were young that we would marry the same person in the future …" When Ruyi said this, Li Yi's chest was already wet. She sobbed, "I'm the selfish one. I'm the one who didn't keep my promise. I'm the one who didn't keep my promise …"
Ruyi was already sobbing in his arms. Li Yi reached out and hugged her tightly.
In a room across the courtyard, Miss.Liu sat in front of the table. Although she didn't say anything, tears were already streaming down her face.
