A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

"You are too young to roam the Jianghu! Go home and practice your calligraphy with your aunt!

And your grandmother, do you know she is now..."

Ji Youcheng only spoke half the sentence before sensing Ji Youze’s calm gaze upon him.

"How is mother?"

Ji Youcheng immediately smiled, "Nothing... Nothing! It’s just that Suisui suddenly left with you, and she misses Suisui, even dreams of her at night."

The words were on Ji Youcheng’s lips, but he suddenly remembered what Ji Youyuan had said. Ji Youze was dealing with major state affairs, so it was best not to mention mother’s matters to him just yet. It’s not like she was suddenly unwell. Her health, as long as the name of the Divine Physician wasn’t just for show, should be able to last another year or two.

Thinking like this, Ji Youcheng suddenly felt something was amiss.

"Mother only misses Suisui?"

Ji Youze’s fiery gaze seemed to want to see through his heart.

"Of... of course. Hey, I’m telling you, old eight, are you treating me like a criminal on trial?

I’m telling you, I’m your brother, not a criminal, so don’t look at me with that interrogating gaze."

Ji Youcheng pretended to be angry, flicked his sleeve, and took Xiaosuisui to the Guest Courtyard.

Princess Pearl saw Ji Youze’s suddenly serious expression and quickly asked, "Are you alright? Is your mother’s health..."

She didn’t finish her sentence because Ji Youze gestured to her to stop.

"Something’s not right!"

Princess Pearl asked in confusion, "What’s not right?"

Ji Youze said,

"My third brother is usually honest and straightforward, but today something was off about his attitude toward me. And I am getting married; normally, he would insist I return to the capital to hold the wedding. Yet, he was easily persuaded by just a few words earlier.

This indicates he is in a rush for me to get married!"

Princess Pearl, hearing this, also began to wonder.

"Why don’t we not get married yet? You should go home to check first?"

Ji Youze didn’t respond but instead walked toward the Guest Courtyard, calling for Suisui.

Princess Pearl stepped to follow, then suddenly stopped, her peripheral vision full of vigilance.

Enchanting walked over, looking at the departing figure of Ji Youze, and asked, puzzled, "Princess, what’s the matter with the consort? Why aren’t you going to see?"

Princess Pearl glared at her.

"Dongyue has changed hands; I’m no longer a consort. If you don’t change that term, I’ll deal with you."

"Yes! This servant will change it right away. My lady, what’s with the master? Why is he in such a hurry to the Guest Courtyard?"

Princess Pearl didn’t reply but instead turned with sharp eyes, noticing a few craftsmen standing at a distance, watching her like hunters eyeing prey that has fallen into a trap!

"You came quickly. I thought the Great Han’s defenses would make it hard for you to find an opportunity to sneak into Yanhui City!"

The craftsmen were Death Warriors raised by Wei Heng. They immediately tore off their disguises, picked up their weapons, and moved swiftly toward Princess Pearl and Enchanting.

Enchanting suddenly produced several Hidden Weapons, hurriedly protecting Princess Pearl behind her.

"Be careful, my lady!"

The Death Warriors closed in, but just after a few exchanges with Enchanting, their expressions changed.

"No wonder so many people failed to kill Princess Pearl on the way; it’s because she has a maid like you by her side."

Enchanting had a captivating look on her face at this moment.

She chuckled softly, "I’m not as formidable as you say. Surely it’s because I have a secret weapon!"

Her every move was full of seductive charm, enough to mesmerize any man without strong willpower.

The men, seeing her demeanor, instantly became entranced.

Seeing this, Princess Pearl drew a short sword from her boot, coordinating with Enchanting’s mesmerizing arts, joined the fight.

Her movements were swift, her attacks fierce; within moments, she had sent three Death Warriors to the afterlife.

"Not good, wake up quickly; don’t look into that little woman’s eyes."

One Death Warrior suddenly snapped awake, dodging Princess Pearl’s short sword and then waking his companions.

Enchanting regretfully sighed.

"Too bad, I didn’t expect your willpower to be so strong, recovering so quickly. My lady, we can only fight with our lives for a slim chance now."

Enchanting’s words made the man frown momentarily, but only for a moment. He then coldly asked,

"Where is the Imperial Seal?"

Princess Pearl laughed.

"What? That treacherous rebel Wei Heng doesn’t have the Imperial Seal, so he can’t command the power base?"
