A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Enchanting heard this and couldn’t help but shake her head, saying,

"No need, Miss said, restoring the nation is not easy, and she, being just a frail woman, shouldn’t waste time and energy.

Now that she has Ji Youze, this blade, to help her take revenge, she should use him. As long as Dongyue’s throne is not occupied by Wei Heng, and she can personally slay her enemy, isn’t Ji Youze also a choice?"

Upon hearing this, Guard Xiao opened his mouth but took a long time to come to his senses.

"So, the Princess doesn’t actually like that Lord Ji. She’s only using him for revenge?

But even so, she shouldn’t use a newly crowned Champion Scholar like this. To sit in a position of power and influence, it takes many years.

If Miss wants to leverage Great Han to slash her way to Dongyue and personally kill Wei Heng, why not marry the Emperor of Great Han?"

Enchanting smiled upon hearing this and said,

"When I first heard what Miss said, I had the same reaction as you, but over the past few days, I’ve finally figured it out.

Miss does indeed bear a deep-seated grudge, but she’s also just a weak woman. Her journey stretches far ahead of her; she shouldn’t be burdened only with enmity. Her future spans a long time."

Upon hearing this, Guard Xiao also came to understand.

"You’re right, Miss’s life is long, and indeed it shouldn’t be filled only with hate. If that’s the case, then I’ll take it upon myself to kill Wei Heng for her!"

Enchanting was stunned upon hearing this and hurriedly asked,

"What do you mean?"

Guard Xiao waved his hand and walked into the Courtyard, casually opening a room, saying,

"Don’t worry about it, I have my own plans!"

"Guard Xiao, explain what you just said to me. What do you mean?

Do you intend to quietly return to Dongyue to assassinate Wei Heng?"

Guard Xiao asked Enchanting in return upon hearing this,

"Miss doesn’t restore the nation, nor does she seek an alliance with the Emperor of Great Han. When can the Xiao Family’s blood feud be avenged?

Although I’m just a Captain of the Guard in the Imperial Palace, I’m also a descendant of the Xiao Family’s Royal Family, so I must avenge the young prince."

Enchanting’s eyes widened upon hearing this, muttering softly, "You... could you really be... truly be the Princess’s brother?

Are you really the Third Prince who has been confined in the Cold Palace?"

Guard Xiao’s eyes dimmed at these words. Because of his birth mother’s wrongdoing, he was confined to the Cold Palace at birth. Later, it was Pearl who rescued him and found opportunities for him to spend time with his father.

Yet just a few days after he acknowledged his father, the latter planned to announce him to the world and accept him, but Wei Heng rebelled.

To ensure he and Pearl survived, the Emperor of Dongyue burned the Imperial Decree that conferred him as a king, destroyed all evidence of his identity, allowing him to escape under the guise of a Guard.

"Sigh! Third Prince, I’m sorry. I previously only heard some things about you, but I didn’t expect the Princess to have brought you out of the Cold Palace a few years ago, letting you live under another identity.

But don’t act rashly; doing so would ruin the Princess’s great plan!"

Guard Xiao was puzzled upon hearing this.

"Ruin her great plan?"

"Don’t underestimate Ji Youze’s status. In Great Han, he’s very influential. Here, he’s almost omnipotent. He’s already plotting how to take advantage of Dongyue’s situation, and the marriage between Miss and him is actually a transaction."

"What did you say? Pearl doesn’t really have feelings for Ji Youze?"

"Third Prince, you’re really naive. How many days have our Princess and Ji Youze known each other?

Where would any feelings come from?

How could they have reached the point of promising lifelong commitment?

They are merely using each other."

"Using each other?

So, does this mean Ji Youze also doesn’t like Pearl?"

Enchanting said, "Third Prince, you’re a man. If it were you, given our Miss’s deliberately ugly makeup and appearance, would you fall in love with her at first sight?

Would you want to marry her?"

Guard Xiao thought about Princess Pearl’s usual makeup and appearance and shook his head,

"Needless to say, when Father wanted to select a consort for her, all those in the capital who had any skills and were slightly handsome all avoided her.

Those who participated were all misfits!

With Ji Youze being such a distinguished gentleman, how could he fall in love with Pearl at first sight?"
