Chapter 1274 - 972 Xiaosuisui Gets Drunk_2
A black-clad man shouted loudly, and then several people came towards Princess Pearl and Ji Youze, pressing closer to Pearl while speaking to her.
"Princess Pearl, His Majesty has said that as long as you behave and don’t marry the power minister of Great Han, and bring the imperial seal back to Dongyue, you will still be the noble Princess of the Palace!
Even if you wish to become Empress, it’s possible!"
Pearl’s face immediately turned cold upon hearing this!
"Nonsense! Wei Heng killed so many people from my Xiao Family, and now he expects to marry above his station?
Does he not even take a look at how old he has become?
Can he still move?"
Just as Pearl finished scolding, Ji Youze’s sword swiftly dispatched three men in black.
Seeing Ji Youze’s actions, Pearl was shocked—could this man be triggered again?
Thinking about the frightening night, Pearl suddenly felt uneasy.
So she hurriedly shut her mouth.
The black-clad men on that side were also quickly dealt with, but one of the leaders was spared by Ji Youze.
"Take him down for proper interrogation."
A few soldiers obeyed and went away.
"Are you alright?"
Pearl looked at Ji Youze and quickly asked if he was alright.
Ji Youze shook his head and directly asked her.
"The imperial seal of Dongyue is missing?"
No wonder these days the death warriors from Dongyue didn’t once actually want Pearl’s life; instead, they seemed to be secretly searching for something!
"Cough, cough! That thing is not such a treasure. Perhaps I gave it away."
Upon hearing these words, Ji Youze’s face, which had gradually become less expressionless over the days, instantly turned very much into a ’no trespassing’ expression.
Ji Youcheng knew his brother best, and seeing this, he braced himself and stepped forward.
"There’s only one more bow left, get ready. You two go ahead and complete the ceremony and enter the bridal chamber!"
Upon hearing this, Pearl immediately covered her veiled face.
Having killed the son of the enemy today, she was in a great mood.
However, as soon as the veil was covered, Ji Youze’s voice was heard by her ear.
"No bowing!"
Then he turned around and left.
Pearl was completely dumbfounded, tightening her hands within her sleeves, her body trembling.
"Ah, this..."
Ji Youcheng was as baffled as a monk, cluelessly shouting at the departing Ji Youze.
"Why are you acting crazy again? Isn’t this the wedding you’ve always been hoping for?
It’s just one final step, why aren’t you longing for it anymore?"
Pearl pulled down the veil and held it in her hand, her face looking very bad.
Perhaps displaying helplessness and confusion.
"Well... sister-in-law, don’t think too much; maybe brother has something important to handle, so he’s..."
"But this excuse, brother, you don’t even believe yourself, right?
Just don’t lie to me anymore."
Ji Youcheng: "..."
"Miss, it looks like the master is angry with you; what did you do to him?"
Enchanting walked over and asked softly.
Since witnessing the fight between Ji Youze and the third prince, Enchanting had been quite wary of Ji Youze.
Sometimes she didn’t dare get close to him, fearing that, on a whim, he might send her to the cycle of rebirth.
"I don’t know. Everything was fine earlier, but in the span of a few words, he suddenly got angry!"
"Could it be that something you said inadvertently upset him?"
"I... what could I say that would upset him?
Ever since Suisui said I’m the knife that stabbed him, I’ve been treading carefully around him, not daring to say anything."
"That’s strange." Enchanting couldn’t figure it out either; it seemed Lord Ji was becoming more and more peculiar!
"Forget about him; if he doesn’t want to continue the wedding, it’s not as if I wish for it either!
Does he really think that I’m for him alone?
If worst comes to worst, when we get to the Capital City, I’ll find someone handsome, elegant, and more powerful than him to marry!"
Enchanting cast her a look of complete approval.
"Miss, you have spirit! Just remember what you said today!
Once at the Capital City, you’ll have to make it happen!"
Then she walked away.
Xiaosui got drunk once, sleeping for three days and nights straight. When she woke up, the Courtyard was filled with the sound of footsteps.
She rubbed her tipsy little head and walked out of the Courtyard for a look outside, finding it full of armored Commanders, all of them looking disheveled.
"What’s happening? They look like they’ve just had a brawl with someone,"
the little girl murmured softly while rubbing her head.
