Chapter 1249 - 964: Don’t go provoking Xiaosuisui
Ji Youze squinted his eyes slightly upon hearing this and looked at Princess Pearl with a smile.
"Do you want to be a royal concubine? Or the Empress?"
For some reason, Princess Pearl felt inexplicably guilty.
"If I want to annex Dongyue and lead the Great Han army into Dongyue, wouldn’t marrying the Emperor of the Great Han make it even more justified?"
Ji Youze was silent, picked up the wine cup intending to drink, but it was empty.
So he reached out to grab the wine pot, but Princess Pearl was quick-eyed and swiftly took the wine pot in her hand, personally pouring for Ji Youze.
"Why is the Princess in such a hurry?"
She was almost writing the words ’guilty conscience’ on her face.
Princess Pearl kept her head down, saying nothing.
Ji Youze naturally drank it all in one go.
Then he smiled and asked Princess Pearl.
"Do you want to be a royal concubine? To be the mother of the country?"
Princess Pearl frowned at the words, why was it still this question?
"If you want to be Long Zhan’s Empress, that won’t do; his Empress can only be my ninth sister!
If you want to be a royal concubine, Long Zhen will surely agree."
Princess Pearl panicked.
"But you said before, I’m destined to be your little nephew’s future eighth aunt!"
This man is truly heartless, saying he wants to marry me one moment, and the next moment pushing me towards another man!
What a scoundrel!
"Indeed! So I don’t agree with you being Long Zhan’s concubine! In this life, you can only marry me and be my wife!"
Princess Pearl: "..."
Where does this person get such confidence?
"If you really want to be an Empress, I can also become an Emperor, it’s not that difficult!"
Princess Pearl: "..."
She silently picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and then asked Ji Youze.
"Are you planning to rebel against your Great Han?
From what I know, you and the Emperor of the Great Han are brothers, inseparable, he trusts you greatly, even allowing you to control the Imperial Seal!"
Ji Youze laughed, "You understand Great Han and me very well?"
Princess Pearl’s face blushed, she almost blurted out her little secret.
However, to protect that person’s safety, she said nothing.
"I don’t care about being a royal concubine or an Empress. To be my husband, I have only one requirement, if you agree, I can consider marrying you, but I won’t help you attack Dongyue.
Wei Heng and Wei Jiang’s lives are mine."
Princess Pearl is a smart person, restoring a country is easier said than done?
Great Han’s quest for the realm is a matter of time; the nation, she will not restore.
But the royal family’s deep blood feud with Dongyue is something she is determined to avenge.
"Alright, I’ve captured Wei Jiang; he’s locked in the dungeon of Yanhui City, you can take his life anytime you want!"
Princess Pearl was astounded and asked, "Did you agree to my conditions so easily?"
Ji Youze shrugged, "I don’t need to sacrifice my life, nor do I need to spend a lot of money; these things are just a matter of convenience for me, why wouldn’t I agree?"
Princess Pearl, seeing how straightforward he is, was once again unsure, so she asked again.
"Are you really planning to rebel?"
Ji Youze raised an eyebrow, "Do you really want to be an Empress?"
Princess Pearl laughed bitterly, "What’s so good about being an Empress, with so many women competing for a man, foolishly revolving around one man every day, it’s utterly ridiculous!"
Ji Youze said: "Then marrying me would be the best choice, I will only marry you for my entire life, how about that?"
Princess Pearl was stunned, looking at him with utter confusion, and asked, "Are you serious?"
Ji Youze casually took out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from his sleeves, "You can write down any conditions and thoughts you have, we can sign a life-and-death contract, the kind that reports to the heavens, if I betray you, may I never reincarnate!
How about it?"
Princess Pearl’s eyes widened, she was completely dumbfounded, momentarily at a loss, only hearing her own heart pounding fiercely.
She couldn’t understand why this charming and luminous young man in front of her would say such things to her.
They had only known each other for a few days, and they barely understood what kind of people they were, let alone certain about each other’s feelings.
No!
Actually, only Princess Pearl was unsure of her feelings for Ji Youze.
But Ji Youze was very sure of his feelings.
From a few years ago, when he secretly traveled to various parts of the country, and even outside Great Han, to Xiling, Nanjiang, Dongyue, Beiyuan, and other places, he had met her at the Hundred Flowers Festival in Dongyue.
Then he established an intelligence network in Dongyue’s capital, even in the Imperial Palace, communicating with her under the pseudonym Bai Xiaosheng, and secretly helped her avoid one treachery and death after another.
