"Be good, Tang Tang. Listen to me. Once I deal with them all, Emperor Father will come find you."
"No."
Ye Tangtang clung to Ye Yubei's arm, refusing to leave no matter what he said.
Ye Yubei looked helplessly at his daughter. With Consort Shu and the Empress in his hands, the King of Yue's men probably wouldn't act rashly. They still had a chance to turn the tables.
Hopefully Ye Linci can hurry...
"Ye Yubei, I've given you so much time to think. Have you made up your mind? As long as you hand over Consort Shu, I promise not to kill your wife and children."
The King of Yue had lost patience, but he still hadn't ordered an all-out attack. Even if Ye Yubei summoned troops from the border as quickly as possible, they would probably need two or three days to reach the Imperial City. So he wasn't anxious at all. Ye Yubei was the one who ought to be anxious.
Ye Tangtang poked her little head out curiously. She was so short that only her head showed.
"That must be the Ninth Princess up there. I didn't manage to kill you a few days ago. You really do have a stubborn hold on life."
At those words, Jun Yuyuan abruptly turned his head. His pitch-black eyes glowered at the King of Yue below. A chill crept down the King of Yue's back, and he felt as though a venomous snake had fixed its gaze on him. He looked up...
Though the boy was only in his teens, he stood beside Ye Yubei without being overshadowed in the slightest.
"Emperor Father, it really was him."
Ye Tangtang stamped her foot in anger. He had sent people to assassinate her, yet he still acted so brazenly righteous. Outrageous.
