After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 223 Let me try

When Ye Jiu heard this, he was shocked and couldn't help but yelled, "That's the force we spent three years to build!"

He Yun sighed when he heard this, and looked at Ye Jiu seriously, "But right now, Kyoto can't be taken care of by ourselves."

"Not only that," He Yun continued, "We need to call Thirteen back to help before Miss Li leaves!"

Just by looking at Ye Jiu's expression, He Yun knew what was on his mind.

He pinched Ye Jiu's shoulder and said sincerely, "Although I don't know what you've been through, have you ever thought that God letting you meet the human-faced Gu again may be giving you a chance to make up for your regrets."

Ye Jiu paused after hearing this, and his master's voice and smile suddenly flashed in his mind. Finally, Ye Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try."

Seeing that Ye Jiu agreed, He Yun's expression relaxed and he dragged Ye Jiu to drink until late at night.

The end result was that I had a hangover at midnight and woke up at almost noon the next day.

"Why didn't you call me?" Ye Jiu rubbed his aching head, regretting very much that he was led by He Yun last night.

"It's because you were sleeping so soundly that I didn't have the heart to wake you up." He Yun replied with a grin.

Ye Jiu shook his head helplessly, and then began to sort out his thoughts. He remembered the conversation with He Yun last night, and secretly made up his mind to work hard to solve the problem at hand.

"By the way, where were we talking about last night?" Ye Jiu asked while getting dressed.

"Oh, last night..." He Yun recalled, "I think he said he wanted to call Thirteen back."

Ye Jiu nodded, indicating that he still remembered.

He took a deep breath and told himself to cheer up and not let the shadow of the past affect him anymore.

Ye Jiu rolled his eyes and looked at the sun rising outside. He knew that now was not the time to argue with him, so he hurriedly ran out through the back door.

When he returned to the princess's mansion, he was no longer greeted by gentle maids, but by a group of guards holding wooden boards.

Ye Jiu's face turned pale in an instant, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to his knees.

At this time, Qi Zi was sitting steadily in the main seat. She elegantly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then asked in a calm and firm voice: "Where did you go last night?"

Her tone was calm, as if she was not angry.

But Ye Jiu did not dare to take it lightly, and quickly explained: "It was all because of that guy He Yun! He forced me to drink, and we drank until late at night. Both of us were drunk and had difficulty walking..."

Just as Ye Jiu was explaining incessantly, a violent cough suddenly sounded, interrupting him.

Ye Jiu turned around in surprise and found Butler Di standing beside him with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Really?" Before Ye Jiu could continue to make excuses, Qi Zi above him sneered contemptuously.

She gently stroked her hair, lowered her head and carefully examined her nails, then slowly said, "I remember someone promised to make me some dumplings yesterday."

Hearing this, a trace of confusion flashed across Ye Jiu's face: "I left only after I finished doing it for you yesterday!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Butler Di who was standing beside him, seeking support: "Butler Di was watching from the side at the time, and I left as soon as I finished wrapping."

However, Qi Zi snorted coldly, indicating that he didn't care about these details.

In fact, she certainly knew that Ye Jiu had done everything for her.

She waited in anticipation for a full half hour yesterday before Butler Di brought the dumplings to her.

What made her even angrier was that Butler Di told her that Ye Jiu had already gone out.

Qi Zi's tone became colder and colder: "Is this important? What I want to ask is, what did you do last night?"

Ye Jiu raised three fingers and swore, "I really just went out for a drink. I definitely didn't lie to you this time."

The corners of Qi Zi's mouth rose slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes, and people could not feel the slightest joy.

She sneered, "How can you stay out all night just for drinking?"

Ye Jiu felt his heart tighten, and quickly explained: "Yes... but because I drank too much, I couldn't get back in time..."

His voice gradually became smaller and he seemed to be losing confidence.

Qi Zi slammed the table hard and shouted angrily: "Does that mean you can just find any excuse not to go home in the future?"

Ye Jiu's eyes widened after hearing this, and he quickly retorted: "How is that possible? I was indeed drunk last night and that's why I didn't come back. If you don't believe me, you can go ask He Yun!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to walk out.

"Wait a minute!" Qi Zi stopped Ye Jiu, "Are you just leaving like this?"

Ye Jiu turned around and looked at Qi Zi with confusion, not knowing what she meant.

Qi Zi's eyes were filled with disappointment and anger. She stared at Ye Jiu and said, "Aren't you going to explain it to me?"

Ye Jiu felt a sudden pain in his heart, and he realized that he had really annoyed Qi Zi this time.

So he hurried to Qi Zi's side, took her hand, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have stayed out all night last night and made you worry."

Qi Zi looked at Ye Jiu in front of her, and the disappointment on her face was gradually replaced by heartache.

She sighed softly and said helplessly: "Forget it, don't do this again next time."

Qi Zi certainly knew that ever since her father fell ill, all the civil and military officials in the court had been eyeing the throne, but she was not disturbed at all. This must be because He Yun blocked all the outside affairs.

Thinking of this, Qi Zi's heart was filled with gratitude and emotion.

After listening to Qi Zi's words, Ye Jiu nodded slightly and secretly made up his mind to protect Qi Zi well and not let her suffer any harm or worry again.

He hugged Qi Zi gently and said softly: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Qi Zi leaned quietly in Ye Jiu's arms, gently stroking her belly, the feeling of uneasiness in her heart becoming stronger and stronger.

She didn't know what would happen in the future, nor did she know whether they would be able to overcome the current difficulties.

At this moment, Qi Zi suddenly raised his head, looked into Ye Jiu's eyes, and asked seriously: "Are you investigating the Tenth Brother?"

There was a hint of nervousness and worry in her voice.

When Ye Jiu heard Qi Zi's question, his body froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and replied with a smile, "No, don't let your imagination run wild."

However, his eyes were flickering, as if hiding some secrets.

When Qi Zi heard this, she couldn't help but feel angry. She felt that Ye Jiu was deliberately hiding it from her, and this feeling of being excluded made her feel very uncomfortable.

But she still tried to control her emotions and said in a calm tone: "Maybe I can help you!"

She looked at Ye Jiu firmly, hoping that he would believe in her abilities.
