A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

"What about the others? How are they? How many are still alive?

And Wei Jiang?

Did he flee back to Dongyue to rally troops with that traitor Wei Heng to attack the Great Han?"

"Oh my princess, how many questions are you asking?

Don’t worry, let me explain slowly!"

Enchanting helped her sit down and began to explain slowly.

"Not many of our people are alive, they’re all severely injured, and General Liu has arranged for them to recuperate at another residence.

As for Wei Jiang, he was captured by Lord Ji. Princess, you wouldn’t know, but Lord Ji is so cool!

He fought Wei Jiang yesterday, and Wei Jiang was severely injured by him and is now imprisoned in the dungeons of Yanhui City."

Enchanting was overjoyed, her mind filled with images of Ji Youze battling Wei Jiang.

Princess Pearl saw this and immediately recognized that the girl was infatuated with Ji Youze, reminding her inefficiently.

"Wake up! You’re just a maid from a fallen country, and he is a pillar of Great Han; there’s no possibility between you two!"

"I know there’s no possibility with me, but there’s a possibility with you, Princess!

You are a princess!

You wouldn’t know, but yesterday, when Lord Ji handed you over to Chang Rongshun and Princess Shunhe, what he said was truly manly!

So responsible!"

Hearing this, Princess Pearl’s heart began to race, and she couldn’t help but ask, "What did he say?"

"He said," Enchanting cleared her throat, mimicking Ji Youze’s demeanor and said to Princess Pearl, "Suisui, help me take good care of your future eighth aunt!"

Princess Pearl’s mouth dropped open in a bashful expression, then turned into anger, "Damn scoundrel, who is her eighth aunt? We didn’t even know each other before, he must be doing this on purpose! He must have ulterior motives!"

Ji Youze: His intentions are grand, seeking your lifelong happiness!

"But he saved you, Princess! What ulterior motive could he have?

If it were before, you as a princess of a nation, he might be trying to climb the dragon and attach himself to the phoenix, seeking your favor, becoming your subordinate.

But now you are a fallen princess, what could he want from your deep-seated vendetta?"

Enchanting’s words widened Princess Pearl’s eyes, a thought suddenly crossed her mind.

"Maybe there’s some truth to what you’re saying!"

"Ah?"

"He might really be after my deep-seated vendetta!"

"What do you mean? Princess, what’s wrong?

Why do you look so unwell?"

"You go and rest first! Let me think!"

Reaching out, she touched the lively beating of her heart, felt for the first time in a decade, her face gradually darkened.

In the back garden of the General’s Mansion

"Princess! Can you really not save my lady?

The medicine you gave yesterday did indeed improve my lady’s condition greatly, she no longer coughs. The doctor previously told us that my lady’s ailment was related to the lungs, and if we could treat the lung ailment, there might still be hope for her improvement!"

The nanny beside Madam Liu saw Xiaosuisui sitting alone in the General’s Mansion’s back garden and thought of her lady’s illness, kneeling in front of her to beg.

"If this disease had been addressed at the beginning, I might have been able to save her. But now it’s too late, I don’t even need to feel her pulse to know that her body has been exhausted, and there’s a problem with her lungs, they’re damaged, a person can’t grow a second lung.

I see Madam’s face as kind and virtuous, her husband, General Liu, is also a brave general guarding the frontier, ensuring the Great Han citizens are not affected by war, a commendable accomplishment. That’s why I offered that medicine, hoping to spare Madam from some of the suffering, so that she might find some relief in the last two months before she passes."

After Xiaosuisui said this, the nanny’s face turned pale again and again, filled with disbelief, eyes wide open.

"Two... two months, does my lady truly have only two months left?"

Xiaosuisui nodded, "Two months, this is still after providing medicine to lessen her suffering, otherwise, it might be less than a month."

Xiaosuisui is young and, due to her intense study, her mental age is only eleven or twelve.

She’s at an age where she speaks straightforwardly.

She doesn’t know how to speak in riddles, nor does she understand the diplomacy that her uncle mentioned.

The nanny’s body shook, taking a long while to regain her composure.

Not far away, General Liu’s shoulders began to tremble again.

Standing to the side, Ji Youze still wore his stoic mask, yet couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

"If the General trusts me, the seal of the garrison general can be entrusted to me, and you may take your wife to see, to explore the places you both wish to visit!"

Hearing this, General Liu took a deep breath, taking a long time to steady his mind, holding back tears, said to Ji Youze.

"Thank you, Lord Ji, but since we captured Wei Jiang, Wei Heng will surely dispatch troops to invade. If I leave, how is Yanyun Ridge to be protected?"
