Este es el único hijo del Señor Zhenjing, y ya casi tiene sesenta años, difícilmente podría hacer algo valiente."Ye Li frunció el ceño y miró a Lei Zhenjing con una sonrisa leve: "Paz?"Lei Zhenjing se levantó y dijo: "Sí.
Dado que el Ducado Dìng ha muerto repentinamente, la señora debe estar ocupada.
Si la señora acepta, el Reino de Xiling está dispuesto a concluir una paz con el Ducado Dìng." Ye Li sonrió: "Si es así, el Ducado Dìng naturalmente lo desearía.
Gracias por sus gentilezas."Observando la expresión tranquila pero cansada de Ye Li, Lei Zhenjing se preocupó internamente.
Se preguntaba si ella estaba actuando o no.
Con su experiencia para leer a las personas, incluso ahora no había encontrado ninguna falla en Ye Li.
Su propuesta de paz solo era una manera de probar la actitud y la situación actual del Ducado Dìng en Xiling."Señora, el Emperador de Chu solicita audiencia." El guardia externo informó.Lei Zhenjing se sorprendió momentáneamente pero mantuvo su expresión inmutable.
Miró a Ye Li, esperando ver cómo ella manejaría la situación.
Solo escuchó que Ye Li dijo calmadamente: "El Emperador de Chu ha viajado lejos, por favor llévenlo dentro." Los protocolos oficiales no debían ser ignorados en ningún momento.Aunque ahora parecía que el Ducado Dìng era más poderoso, Mo Jingli siempre había sido el emperador.
Enviar a alguien para recibir al Emperador de Chu era una cortesía que se debía brindar."Sir, as ordered." Fén Zhīyáo responded in a deep voice."Señor," Mò Xiǎobao jumped down from the chair beside Ye Lǐ and followed Fén Zhīyáo out of the room."The retainers under Duke Dìng truly are loyal and righteous," Lei Zhǐtíng observed with a meaningful tone as he watched Fén Zhīyáo leave.
His pride, for him to come out to greet Mò Jǐnglí, was enough to show that these people were indeed submissive to Ye Lǐ.Clearly, the Duke Dìng's domain was not in any chaos under Ye Lǐ's rule, losing only Murō Xiúyào.
Thinking of this, Lei Zhǐtíng looked at Ye Lǐ with even more complicated eyes and secretly regretted that Ye Lǐ had escaped Liáng Tèhán's assassination attempt a few days ago.Cold Háoyǔ chuckled and said, "Your Highness South Town overstates the case.
A loyal minister serves only one lord.
We are just doing our duty." Lei Zhǐtíng did not take Cold Háoyǔ's disapproving gaze to heart, merely smiling faintly in return.Ye Lǐ looked at Cold Háoyǔ with a smile and replied without taking offense, "Your Highness South Town is correct.
If it weren't for their help these past few days, Your Majesty would truly have been...
struggling.""So, should Lady Dìng invite Clean Dust Lord here to take charge of the situation?" Lei Zhǐtíng asked, this being the most puzzling point.
Generally, if Murō Xiúyào had really died, Duke Dìng's domain would certainly support Mò Yùchén as its new leader.
But at nine years old, Mò Yùchén was far too young to take charge of both the Duke Dìng and the Mo Family Army.
Therefore, for both reasons, Ye Lǐ should have invited Xu Qīndust or Xu Hóngyǔ here to take charge.
However, not a single person from the Xu family had shown up, which made Lei Zhǐtíng doubt Murō Xiúyào's death.Ye Lǐ smiled slightly and shook her head, "Even Dì City needs my big brother to handle these matters.
Besides..." She shook her head without finishing her sentence, leaving people guessing.Lei Zhǐtíng knew the importance of the Northwest region for Duke Dìng, especially after the news of Murō Xiúyào's death.
He had secretly ordered the troops in Xīlíng Province to move northward, not really intending to attack the original palace but rather to hold back Zhang Qílán's army stationed on the west side.Furthermore, Northern Róng was also an issue.
Murō Xiúyào had just destroyed almost half of their forces and even killed a prince.
Now that they heard of Murō Xiúyào's death, how could King Róng not stir up some trouble to regain his dignity?Thus, stabilizing the Northwest region, especially Dì City, was crucial at this moment.
As long as the Northwest remained, even if the Mo Family Army lost this battle, there would still be a place for retreat.
In a few years, when Mò Yùchén grew older, the Mo Family Army might rise again.
After all, according to Lei Zhǐtíng's understanding of Duke Dìng's extraordinary bloodline inheritance, Mò Yùchén would surely be capable at thirteen or fourteen.Lei Zhǐtíng did not intend to give him that chance.Seeing Ye Lǐ hesitating and unwilling to speak further, Lei Zhǐtíng believed the news of Murō Xiúyào's death even more.
He was not bothered by Ye Lǐ's lack of emotion compared to an ordinary woman;in fact, if she were truly grieving, he would suspect or look down on her."Your Highness Lady!Your Highness Lady, something is wrong!" A guard rushed inside with a report from outside.
