Princess Ningyang then asked about another matter.
"Now that the fighting has stopped, shouldn't it be time to reopen the city gates?"
Keeping the city gates sealed wasn't a long-term solution. It could easily cause panic among the populace.
Li Ji had other plans for this and replied casually, "Let's wait a little longer."
Ah Qi was still hiding in the city. Once the gates were reopened, he would have a chance to slip out.
Therefore, Li Ji had to root out Ah Qi before reopening the gates.
Princess Ningyang asked again, "What about Xun'er? When do you plan to bring him back?"
'Li Ji actually didn't want to bring Gou Dan back so soon. Once Gou Dan returned, he and Manman wouldn't be able to have their time alone together. That little brat would definitely do everything he could to steal Manman's attention. So annoying!'
But he couldn't just leave Gou Dan outside the city, either. After all, Manman would worry.
Li Ji replied reluctantly.
"I'll send someone to get him later."
