King Wu said directly: "No need to go to the posthouse, I will stay at the residence of Marquis Zhan Yi for the time being!" After that, he hurried away.

Lin Yiwan frowned, feeling that something was not quite right with Wu Guojun.

Why on earth did he insist on asking Madam Ye to visit?

When he got on the carriage, King Wu felt as if he was about to have holes burned out by the two stares.

He couldn't help but ask, "There's something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Lin Yiwan said, "Let's be frank. Why did you insist on Madam Ye coming to visit you? You weren't seriously injured."

King Wu subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he also understood that the two little foxes in front of him could not hide the evil thoughts in his mind.

He said without hesitation: "The queen is dead!"

Lin Yiwan was a little confused. She asked blankly, "Is there any connection between your queen's death and Madam Ye's visit to you?"

Wu Guojun glanced down at her bulging belly and said nothing.

Zhan Yan reacted immediately: "Give up this idea. If you really want to form an alliance between the two countries, choose another noble lady from aristocratic family. She is definitely not suitable!"

Wu Guojun looked at him in surprise: "Why can't she do it?"

Zhan Yan frowned and replied, "Don't you know why her husband and father-in-law died? They died on the battlefield fighting against the Li Kingdom!"

King Wu naturally understood this, but wasn't he already in peace talks now?

What can compare with the interests of the people of both countries?

He was silent for a moment before he said, "Zhan Yan, go and discuss this with Emperor Sheng An. As long as I can marry Madam Ye, my country of Li is willing to submit to the Sheng Dynasty. From now on, we will respect the Sheng Dynasty and pay tribute every year. Is that okay?"

Not only was Zhan Yan stunned, but even Lin Yiwan widened her eyes in astonishment.

He is actually willing to surrender?

Why did he fall for Madam Ye?

An oppressive atmosphere suddenly surged in the carriage until the coachman's voice rang out from outside: "My Lord, we're home!"

The three of them got off the carriage, and the Saint and Min Lian, who had been anxious for a long time, hurried forward to greet them.

She asked worriedly, "How did you get hit by a carriage out of nowhere? Are you hurt?"

Wu Guojun replied with a bitter tone: "Sister, the queen went with Ning Lei!"

The Saint Goddess was stunned, and finally came to this point.

After they entered the study, she asked, "What are your plans?"

King Wu fixed his gaze on Zhan Yan and motioned him to speak.

Zhan Yan pursed his lips tightly, and after a moment he said in a deep voice, "Mother, my uncle wants a marriage between our two countries!"

The Saint's eyes lit up. "This is a good thing. A marriage between the two countries will not only help prevent the peace talks from being disrupted, but will also strengthen the people's confidence. I just don't know if the Emperor of the Sheng Dynasty will agree to your request to marry a noble lady from an aristocratic family!"

Wu Guojun said calmly, "I don't want to marry a noble lady from an aristocratic family. I've set my eyes on Madam Ye from the Duke of Huguo's mansion!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Min Ao frowned.

He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, but is it Madam Ye whose husband and father-in-law both died on the battlefield?"

Wu Guojun nodded heavily: "It's her!"

A look of confusion crossed the Saint's face. The King of Wu had probably only met her once, right? Why did he suddenly insist on marrying her?

King Wu stared at Min Ao and said, "My sister is staying in Sheng Dynasty. I believe you don't want to go back to Li Kingdom. As long as you can help my king to make this happen, I will grant you freedom!"

Lin Yiwan, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but gasp. In order to achieve his goal, Wu Guojun had thrown out a very tempting bait.

Including Min Ao and Zhan Yan!

Even though they knew that things would be difficult, the two of them actually started to plan it.

She had to pour cold water on him: "Lord Wu, you have made a thousand calculations, but you have not taken Madam Ye into account. What if she refuses to marry you? What will you do?"

A hint of uneasiness flashed in Wu Guojun's eyes. He really hadn't thought about this problem.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "The Protectorate's family is full of loyal and brave men. For the sake of peace between the two countries, she should marry him, right?"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but be annoyed at his wishful thinking. He relied on his noble status to force Madam Ye.

Why should he?

She stood up without hesitation and said, "Why do you want to let innocent people bear such heavy shackles? If you dare to do this, then you don't need to come here again. You are not welcome in the Zhan Yi Marquis's mansion!"

After saying that, she left angrily.

Zhan Yan didn't stay any longer and hurriedly chased after him.

Wu Guojun placed his fists on his knees and belatedly asked, "Sister, did I anger Wanwan?"

The Saint complained to him: "Why do you suddenly want to marry a married woman? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Wu Guojun said: "Her husband is obviously dead!"

The Saint interrupted: "Even if she dies, she can't do that. She is the descendant of a loyal hero. Even if she really wants to marry, it can't be you, the King of Wu!"

King Wu covered his face in sorrow, his mind torn between conscience and desire.

No one knew how deeply touched he was when he saw Madam Ye's eyes.

She was like a bright light, suddenly illuminating his already dark heart.

This wasn't the first time he saw her!

He first met her on the battlefield. At that time, he was also in the Li Kingdom's army, but in order to hide his identity, he dressed as an ordinary soldier.

She appeared before him in a heroic manner, dancing a red tasseled spear like a silver dragon.

Even though the sharp tip of the gun nearly took his life, he didn't hate her at all.

He admires her very much!

I think it’s amazing that a woman can master such excellent marksmanship!

Later, he was stabbed by her after all.

If she hadn't received the news that Duke Ye and her husband were suddenly seriously injured, she would have been able to stab him to death.

She left in a cloud of dust, and he fell into a coma due to serious injuries.

When he woke up, there was a scar on his heart.

The imperial physician said that there was a way to eliminate it, but he didn't want to eliminate it.

Because, only when he sees this scar can he think of her!

The moment he opened his eyes and saw her, the scar on his heart suddenly hurt, and he knew that he didn't want to let go!

Even if I have to give up everything, I must get that person to be by my side!

He said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, I met her on the battlefield a year ago. This scar on my body was left by her!"

The saint immediately understood that his proposal to marry the young lady of the Ye family was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a deliberate one.

She said worriedly, "But with her status, you won't be able to get what you want. Why do you still insist on this?"

Wu Guojun clenched his fists and said, "Everything depends on human effort. As long as I can marry her, I am willing to offer the entire Li Kingdom as a betrothal gift!"

The saint froze all over. She never knew that her brother was such a romantic man?

King Wu suddenly spoke again: "Sister, in this world, is there anything that can make people happier than being in love with each other? In the past, I thought that the queen and I would grow old together, but I didn't expect that in the end, everything was in vain!"
