No matter how one looked at it, Xiao Jiu'an should not have returned to the capital. If he chose to return to the capital, it would not be irrational, but foolish.

Ji Yunkai believed that he would definitely return, because she was still here.

"Betting on what?" Ji Yunkai truly felt that the Emperor was not as smart as those officials, nor as farsighted as them.

As long as he concentrated his power, anything else would be easy.

"Your father was a capable minister, but not enough here." The emperor raised a finger to point at his brain. "To play with that group of people, one has to be extraordinarily unpredictable in order to have a chance of winning."

Although Lord Ji had some talent and courage, his thoughts were still influenced by the rules. He was not a match for the ministers of the nobles.

"Father will be hurt." Ji Yunkai picked up the teacup but did not drink it. Instead, she held it in her palm and lowered her head. "Your Majesty should know that no matter what, whether this is done well or not, there is only one end to this. And I. No matter if the Prince returns to the capital or not, I am still a Prince Yanbei's Wife. As long as the Emperor still needs the Yanbei Army, I can live a good life.

Unless Xiao Jiu'an rebelled in the future, or the emperor forced Xiao Jiu'an to return, killing her would not be worth it for the emperor.

"Since it's a bet, of course there'll be a bet. If Xiao Jiu'an does not return, and you help us settle this matter, we will guarantee your glory for the rest of your life. If Xiao Jiu'an does return, we will allow you to go with Xiao Jiu'an and grant you the title of princess protector of the nation, allowing you to have no worries for your entire life. " No matter what the result would be, it would be a profit for the Emperor.

It was a pity that Ji Yunkai did not cooperate.

"I don't dare to be interested in the prize money given by the Emperor." If it were three months ago, the Emperor would have agreed to let her go with Xiao Jiu'an. She would do it even if she had to risk her life.

She didn't think that the Emperor had the ability to let her go with Xiao Jiu'an.

With the tyranny of Xiao Jiu'an, that man, if he was unwilling to let go, forget about the emperor stepping in, even if the emperor himself were to speak, it would be useless.

And she?

She admitted that in her heart, she didn't want to part with him that much. Her current life was pretty good. Not only did she not need to worry about being bullied, she even relied on her power to bully others.

"What do you want?" As long as Ji Yunkai dared to speak, he would give it to him.

He was a Monarch, he had the right to give and the right to take it back. The more Ji Yunkai wanted, the more she would regret it in the future.

"The emperor has won, do as the emperor says. "If the emperor loses …" Ji Yunkai paused for a moment, then said indifferently: "How about you give me the small fishing village in Xinye?"

"Xinye?" The emperor was stunned for a moment. "That little fishing village across the sea from Beichen, what are you doing here?"

Xinye is small and poor, close to the sea, and the people live in poverty by fishing. Not long ago, there was a tsunami that flooded the whole new wilderness. Right now, the new wilderness was so desolate that even officials did not want to go there.

"I like fish. Is that a good reason?" Ji Yunkai knew that no matter what reason she had, the Emperor would not believe his.

"Ji Yunkai, I am not joking with you." The emperor's expression suddenly changed and became stern, no longer as relaxed as before.

Ji Yunkai was not affected and continued to hold her teacup with a smile: "Your majesty, I want a place that belongs to me. Other than Xinye, I don't think you would be willing to give me the other places."

Xinye was the territory of the Revelation, so they were separated by the sea by Beichen. That ocean was a natural barrier, and although the Revelation couldn't cross it, Beichen couldn't either.

However, to Ji Yunkai, that natural barrier was nothing at all.

As a military doctor who had traveled with a warship, she couldn't possibly be stupid enough to know nothing about naval warfare. Although she did not have the ability to build a warship, it was not a problem to build several ships that could sail on the sea.

To the Revelation Emperor, Xinye was a rundown and small fishing village, but it was's guarantee.

In addition to its military role, seawater was also extremely useful, and that was — drying salt.

The salt used in Revelation now was all dug out from salt mines. Not only was the cost high, it was also extremely expensive.

If she could use seawater to dry up salt, this would also be a huge income. As for whether the imperial government would allow it or not?

This wasn't important, she could just not sell it in the Revelation. She could just sell it to Yan Bei, and Xiao Jiu'an would be fine.

Ji Yunkai's excuse was 30% real and 70% fake. The emperor still did not believe it, but he could not refute it either. He could only say, "You're fine and well, why would you want your own place?"

"I've always wanted it, but I just didn't get the chance. "Your majesty, all you have to say is, will we still fight over this bet?" Ji Yunkai would naturally not tell the Emperor about the true reason.

"I can't give you Xinye, change it." Although the emperor didn't know what use that lousy place in Xinye had, he definitely could not give Ji Yunkai something that Ji Yunkai wanted.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yunkai did not feel any pain, and immediately switched them. "Alright, I don't need Xinye, why don't you give Yufeng Mountain to me, your majesty?"

"Mount Yufeng? "You really are competing with Mount Yufeng." The Emperor suddenly realised that he could not understand Ji Yunkai.

He started to suspect if Ji Yunkai really wanted Xinye.

Or could it be that Ji Yunkai had purposely displayed that she wanted to become new, and then used his mentality to obtain the place he truly wanted?

"I like the water from Mount Yufeng. I hope that you can bring it to me when you return to the capital." Although Ji Yunkai said that he liked him on the surface, he seemed indifferent. It was hard to tell how much she liked the water of Jade Peak Mountain.

The emperor was even more confused.

What exactly did Ji Yunkai mean?

Could it be that there was something on the mountain, something very important, that he did not know about?
