Chapter 758: Sikong's Secret Desire
"Was it Prince Jing who forced you?" Sikong Mo frowned.
"No." It wasn't Prince Jing who forced her, but her most beloved mother.
Just yesterday, she thought that He Shi had truly hardened her heart and didn't want her anymore, but after a night's sleep, she understood He Shi's thoughts.
If she had truly hardened her heart against her, with He Shi's personality, she wouldn't have cried so sadly.
She still loved her the most, it's just that, in the face of the lofty Prince Jing, their family's old lady felt inferior.
Especially when Prince Jing made it seem like the entire Ye Family was a burden to him, He Shi must have been the one who felt the worst,
because, from the very beginning, she had said she didn't want anyone to become a burden to her, but in the end, she herself became that burden!
No matter when, her mother was always thinking of her.
Going to the capital city had become imperative. Ye Jiu thought it best to go first. She would arrange everything and then bring her family over, ensuring that no one would dare to look down on the Ye Family.
While Ye Jiu was thinking about all this, she failed to notice the contemplative expression on Sikong Mo's face.
After a long period of thought, Sikong Mo spoke, "Do you really plan to return to the capital city just like this?"
"Otherwise?" Ye Jiu didn't understand what he meant.
The corners of Sikong Mo's lips curved up, revealing a trace of devilish charm, "Listen to me, let Prince Jing help you seek an official status from the Emperor, stay here to wait for the imperial edict of your installation, and then you can return to the capital city with full legitimacy."
"Why?" Ye Jiu asked.
Sikong Mo analyzed for her, "You haven't grown up in the capital city, the Liu Family is now in decline, and Prince Jing's Princess Consort has also been sent to the temple to pray for blessings. Just arriving in the capital city like this will make you look down on; I'm not there, and I'm afraid others might bully you."
"I'm not afraid at all—who's to bully whom is still up for question," Ye Jiu was not boasting. Putting aside her status, she had Ye Bai and Ye Hei to protect her day and night, not to mention the Plane Space. One would have to be pretty foolish to still get bullied with such a good hand.
"Jiujiu, would you please listen to me on this? I would never harm you," Sikong Mo said gently.
With Prince Jing around, Ye Jiu certainly wouldn't be bullied, but he still needed some time.
The war at the frontier border was not yet over. Once Ye Jiu returned to the capital, it would not be so easy for him to act and snatch her from the old Emperor and Prince Jing's hands.
Moreover, Ye Jiu was a person of great fortune, and with his identity, the old Emperor was even less likely to let her marry into the War Prince Residence.
Although she felt it was unnecessary, seeing how serious Sikong Mo was, Ye Jiu nodded in agreement, "Alright."
Anyway, he would never harm her, and Ye Jiu wanted to try and trust him.
When she left the Dimensional Space, the sky was already bright.
Si Nan hurried in from the outside, and his expression paused upon seeing Sikong Mo.
He had just come in a moment ago, and the Prince had clearly not been there, but in an instant, the Prince was already present in the tent.
Could it be that their family's Prince's martial arts had improved further, which allowed him to come and go without a trace?
Si Nan couldn't help but think.
"What's the matter?" While Si Nan was pondering, Sikong Mo asked.
"Reporting to the Prince, the soldiers have finished assembling," Si Nan reported.
In matters of the battlefield, one must never be slack, even if there were no battles, various trainings still could not be neglected.
Sikong Mo immediately became serious, stood up to take his armor, and then started to put it on without any hesitation.
After getting dressed, Sikong Mo headed straight out, but at the entrance of the tent, he suddenly turned back, "Oh, and send a message to Si Ye to investigate who was behind the attempted assassination at Shuangxi Town yesterday."
"Yes." With a puzzled heart, Si Nan took his leave.
