A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

The envoy from Dongyue, upon seeing this situation, knew that the Great Han was already on guard against them since they captured their prince.

But now they couldn’t fathom the intentions of the Great Han—was it war or peace?

"Everyone, the journey from here to the Capital City is long and time-consuming; it will take at least a month. I am the newly appointed Champion Scholar of the Great Han, currently serving as the Chief Minister, and also the Emperor His Majesty’s childhood companion. If there’s anything you wish to discuss, feel free to talk with me first!"

Hearing these words from Ji Youze, the faces of the Dongyue officials couldn’t help but change rapidly!

"This... Lord Ji’s words are a bit too boastful, aren’t they?

Can you represent the monarch of the Great Han Country?"

"Exactly, aren’t you afraid that these words would reach the ears of your Emperor His Majesty and you’d be charged with treason?"

Ji Youze wasn’t afraid of this charge. The idle emperor, if he were here, would surely say: Indeed, Youze’s words can represent me!

"Alright! Since the gentlemen don’t trust me, then please be ready to set off tomorrow!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

"What... what does he mean by this?"

The Dongyue officials looked at each other, paralyzed with fear inside.

What does it mean to be prepared to set off tomorrow?

Is this an indication that they would be killed tomorrow?

The people from Dongyue were trembling, not daring to sleep the entire night.

Upon hearing that the envoys from Dongyue had entered the city, yet their escort team was blocked outside the pass, Princess Black Pearl fell into silence.

As expected, the Emperor of Da Han truly had some grand schemes!

"Princess, we have to find a way to sabotage this peace talk! That Wei Heng is a traitor and if he succeeds in the peace talks with the Great Han, we won’t have a chance to kill him."

Enchanting spoke anxiously in front of Princess Black Pearl.

Princess Black Pearl shook her head, "There’s no rush for this matter, go and prepare some good dishes, buy two jugs of fine wine, and tonight I will invite Lord Ji to dinner!"

"Ah! Princess, what are you thinking? What I am talking about is clearly not the same thing!"

"Do as I say, less talking!"

"Oh!"

Enchanting left, and by evening she had finally prepared a table full of good dishes and two jugs of fine wine, but there was something peculiar about the wine jugs.

"Princess, the wine on the left is poisoned, the one on the right is fine. When you’re pouring wine for Lord Ji, make sure not to mix them up!"

Black Pearl, looking at the mandarin ducks wine jug placed on the table by Enchanting, couldn’t help but blink, "Why did you even take this out to use?"

"Didn’t you ask me to bring it, my lady?"

"When did I ask you to bring this wine jug? And you even poisoned it!"

"Didn’t you ask me to prepare two jugs of fine wine? This mandarin ducks wine jug splits perfectly into two, isn’t that two jugs?"

Princess Black Pearl: "..."

So that’s what two jugs of fine wine means?

"Princess, I know Lord Ji’s greedy for your beauty is detestable, letting the Dongyue envoys into the city is excessive too, but can I plead with you, when you kill him, don’t let him feel any pain. Just give him a full big bowl of this wine to drink in one gulp, and that way he’ll be deeply poisoned and instantly drop dead!"

Black Pearl: "..." Enchanting, you truly are the real Black Pearl, aren’t you?

Clearly, just a few days ago, you were saying how cool and handsome Ji Youze was, and that if you could marry such a husband, you’d be willing to die below him, so how can you now be so ruthless when talking about killing?

After handling official duties and writing a letter to send to the Capital from the study, Ji Youze stepped out, just in time to see Xiaosuisui returning on a big tiger from outside.

"Eighth Uncle, here, this is the map you asked me to sketch while wandering around Yanyun Ridge these days."

Ji Youze took it and nodded repeatedly in approval; the young girl couldn’t write large characters, but she truly was unmatched in drawing maps,

"Quickly wash up and sleep! Tomorrow continue to wander around the pass outside the city, and you can walk a couple of miles more toward the Dongyue territory. If you find traces of Dongyue army camping within two miles, come back immediately, understand?"

Xiaosuisui nodded, "Got it, Eighth Uncle."

Xiaosuisui had been going in and out of the military camp these days, running across the hills with the big tiger, drawing maps, as if she had grown a lot and seemed to have found her own fun.

Enchanting came to invite Ji Youze, living up to her name, enchantingly.

Ji Youze looked up at the moon in the sky, which was exceptionally round, under a rather fine moonlight, feeling in a good mood.

When he arrived at the Guest Courtyard, the lights in Princess Black Pearl’s room were on, the door was open, and Xiaosuisui had bathed and was sleeping under the service of the Liu family’s maid.
