Chapter 678: 678 token

Prince Jing instantly understood her meaning and appeared somewhat impatient, "Fine, no more sending you to the Ye Family!"

Ye Jiu was finally satisfied and asked, "Seeing that the New Year is nearly upon us, and the sweet potatoes have already been weighed, doesn’t Father need to hurry back to the capital city for the celebration?"

"Would you come back with me?" Prince Jing asked as if it were to be expected.

Ye Jiu, feeling helpless, asked, "Then what do you think, under what identity should I go to the capital city?"

"Naturally, as my own daughter, the identity of the Commandery Princess of Prince Jing’s Royal Residence!"

"But once we’re in the capital city, how will Father explain it? Have you considered what kind of unrest this will cause?" Ye Jiu was just presenting a very realistic problem.

After a moment of thought, Prince Jing said, "Jiujiu, since I dare to take you back, I naturally can ensure that both you and the Ye Family will not suffer any harm. As for everyone else, they will get their just deserts and must pay the price!"

For the Princess Consort, there was inevitably some reluctance since they had been married for many years.

However, he would not, for a woman who reaped what she sowed, allow his own flesh and blood to be left out in the cold and unable to return to him.

Thinking of the time when Ye Jiu was gravely poisoned, Prince Jing assured her, "Rest assured, those who once harmed you, Father will seek vengeance for you. That woman from the Mo Family will pay for her actions; I will not let you have suffered those injustices in vain."

"But rather than going to the capital city, I would prefer to stay here," Ye Jiu stated plainly.

Prince Jing fell silent; his deep expression clearly indicated his reluctance to agree.

"Even though Father is Prince Jing, above you is the Crown Prince, and above the Crown Prince is the Emperor. Not to mention the countless women in the palace, let alone the Royal Residence itself. Father, do you think, I, a girl who grew up in the countryside, can handle it all?

Just the last time I went to the capital city, before any ties to Prince Jing’s Royal Residence had been established, I was already subjected to the Crown Prince’s kidnapping, as well as bullying by the Liu Family’s influence. Even if Father can protect me, can you be by my side at all times to fend off the covert conflicts and social maneuvering among the ladies?"

Although Prince Jing did not want to admit it, he had to acknowledge that what Ye Jiu said was true.

No one understood better than he how deep the waters of the capital city were—if the Princess Consort were supportive it might be ok, but the reality was...

Well, best not to mention that woman.

Yet leaving his own daughter here was even more unacceptable to Prince Jing.

After pondering for a while, Prince Jing made his decision, "If you wish to stay here for the time being, that’s fine. After I return to the capital city, I will swiftly resolve all these matters, including the matter of you being switched at birth. If there’s no black hand behind the scenes, so be it. But if there is, I will make each of them pay the price!"

Then, turning to Ye Jiu, Prince Jing continued, "I will leave enough people here to protect you, including the token I once gave you. With it, you can command military forces from various prefectures. Stay here quietly, and wait for me to come back and take you home."

Ye Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief; managing to stave him off for now was already an achievement.

As for being taken back to the capital city later, she would deal with it when the time came. After all, convincing Prince Jing now had exhausted all her wits.

"I understand. Then, Father should hurry back to the capital city for a thorough investigation. It’s getting late; I will head home to rest." With that, Ye Jiu turned to leave, without any hint of sentimentality.

Prince Jing felt helpless, realizing that there were very few in the world who dared to be so impudent towards him.

And this girl before him was simply his bane: Unheeding of his words, immune to punishment, and impossible to scold.
