The Emperor widened his eyes at the words, "Youâre giving up control of Nanjiang!"
This statement was affirmative, and the Emperor could see that Princess Ata was not joking.
"Thatâs right! My father is no longer the father I knew. Now, all I want is to eliminate Xunyang, to protect the people of Nanjiang, and I donât care who rules over Nanjiang!"
"Your idea is too crazy."
The Emperor expressed his thoughts about Princess Ata, "I am a bit crazy, but Your Majesty, arenât you tempted?
If Xunyang is eliminated, I just marry you, and you can take the entire land of Nanjiang without shedding a drop of blood. Itâs a very profitable deal!"
The Emperor remained silent; it was indeed a very tempting condition.
"Consider it carefully, Iâll leave for now."
Princess Ata cast the bait without worrying about when the fish would bite!
Princess Ata arrived at the dining hall, instantly observing Xie PanâErâs facial expression.
As expected, her face already showed signs of being distracted.
"Princess Ata, you have been accounting with His Majesty. Did you find anything different?"
Upon seeing her, Dugu smiled and was the first to speak up.
"Yes, we found out that none of the silver taels were missing; they were all transferred to Xiling. However, we canât understand who in Xiling is collaborating with Xunyang, and now that MoâEr is attacking Great Han, will Xiling receive the message and have Great Han face enemies on both fronts!"
Upon hearing this, Duguâs expression became very serious, looking at Ji Youzhi without a trace.
Ji Youzhi took a deep breath, and after a long while said, "The immediate priority is to quickly resolve MoâEr and eliminate the assimilated people created by the Great Wizard to prevent future troubles."
As for Xiling, he would probably need to seek help from his third brother.
"Thatâs what I think too, so I made a deal with your Great Han Emperor! As long as your Emperor agrees, I naturally have a way to handle MoâEr, and it wonât take much time to solve the problem here."
"What kind of deal do you have with our Emperor?"
Dugu asked in surprise.
"Princess Ata elder sister wants to marry the Emperorâs adoptive father to become the Empress!"
A soft, tender voice came through, crisp and clear, it was Xiaosuisui.
"This..."
Everyoneâs mouths dropped open, looking at Princess Ata incredulously!
"The Emperorâs adoptive fatherâs Peach Blossom Tribulation, and the pretty elder sisterâs Peach Blossom Tribulation, itâs all tangled together, so annoying! How can I help solve it for you?"
The Emperor, holding Xiaosuisui, felt both amused and annoyed, pinching her small cheek, "Donât act like a charlatan, youâre a pretty little fairy, with an ethereal aura!"
Then, taking the lead, he sat down at the dining table, "I have been hungry all day, letâs eat first!
We can discuss the plans afterward!"
"Does Your Majesty have any idea already?"
The Emperor said, "Princess Ata just proposed a plan, and I think it might be feasible! Weâll discuss it further with Princess Ata later!"
Xie PanâEr felt a little blocked in her heart, but she forced herself not to worry about these matters.
She served everyone rice, took Xiaosuisui from the Emperorâs hands, served her dishes, and remained as quiet as ever.
Throughout the meal, she remained neither anxious nor discontent, very quiet, with the Emperor and Princess Ata occasionally glancing at her, pretending not to notice.
Meanwhile, outside the city gates of South City, General Moore asked the child beside him.
"Why donât you let us attack the city overnight?
Now, if we want to break into the Central Plains, speed is of the essence, you must know that as long as we donât break into Yunhang County for a day, the brothers will have to endure the cold and hunger outside for another day."
"Why are you in such a hurry?
Who told you that to kill the Emperor of the Great Han, you have to break in to accomplish it?"
Moore widened his eyes at the words, filled with surprise, "Do you have another ace up your sleeve in that city?"
The young girlâs lips curled slightly, giggling, "Tonightâs moon is round, perfect for killing stealthily in sleep!"
"What do you mean? Do you intend to personally go and kill the Emperor of the Great Han?"
"I donât need to do it myself, but there is someone I can use!"
"Someone you can use?
Who?"
"That person!
is in the jail of Yunhang County!"
It was great; during the day, he accidentally discovered the Peach Blossom Tribulation of the future Empress of the Great Han!
With a little maneuvering, it could become the Peach Blossom Evil!
