Sweet Desire! The Cold Lord God, Who Can Tease, Coax, and Act Coquettish. - Chap 1044
“proclaim oneself emperor?”
“Why, can’t it be done?” Ji Xuan put down the tea cup in her hand and smiled lightly: “The emperor is also made by humans, why can’t it be me?”
“That’s not what I meant.” Si Jin replied, “I’m just curious, does the princess… hate Zhu Ziqing?”
“Of course.” Ji Xuan took a deep breath, not shying away from Shen Yi’s presence, and continued: “I hate him. His father was afraid that our Prime Minister’s house was rich and powerful, so he killed our whole family.”
“That year, I was only seven years old. I clearly remember that the day my house was raided was my birthday. My mother bought me a new dress and I was trying it on.”
“Then she was pierced through the heart by the Royal Forest Army’s sword and died in front of me.”
“Blood splattered all over me. At that moment, my eyes seemed to turn red.”
“When I came to my senses, I was stabbed. I lay dying in a pool of blood. I watched the prime minister’s mansion, which used to be a happy place, turn into a hell.”
“Later, I crawled out of the mass grave, found my father’s former friends, and survived till now.”
Twelve years have passed since the incident, but when Ji Xuan talked about it, there were still a few tears in her eyes.
Shen Yi quickly handed over the handkerchief, and the girl wiped her tears through the mask, and continued: “But later, I became capable.”
“When I grew up, I controlled all the underground banks in Nanliang and raised an army of 10,000.”
“In order to bring down Wei Linyuan, Zhu Ziqing happily came to the door with gifts and wanted to recognize me as his sister, but he repeatedly tried to kill me for the money and soldiers in my hand.”
The woman smiled disdainfully: “Oh, he has a beautiful idea.”
“They say that since I am a woman, it is useless to keep money for myself. I should learn how others care for their husbands and children, and how to please men, but I don’t believe it.”
“Your Highness, I don’t believe it.”
Ji Xuan stared at Si Jin closely, with such strong obsession in her eyes that Si Jin couldn’t help but be shocked when she saw it.
She said: “I don’t believe that because I was born a woman, I deserve to be subordinate to others.”
“I don’t believe that as a woman, you can only support your husband and raise your children.”
“I can invade the world and cause chaos in the court. I am thousands of times better than that loser Zhu Ziqing. Even Wei Linyuan wants to cooperate with me and take money from me as military pay from time to time!”
“Why…you want me to stay in the back house with peace of mind?”
After saying this, Ji Xuan seemed to realize that she was a little emotional. She took two deep breaths, stabilized her heartbeat, and then smiled bitterly.
“I’m sorry, I have been holding some words in my heart for a long time, so I accidentally said them all, making His Highness laugh.”
“But, I really want to help you restore the country. You currently lack people to contact the old army. I have 10,000 soldiers and horses that I can use for you. When you return to the top, you can come back and help me kill Zhu Ziqing. You and I Win-win.”
Si Jin confirmed for the last time: “Aren’t you afraid that I will lie to you? Will I not care about you after the country is restored?”
“Not afraid.” Ji Xuan shook her head, stretched out her left hand again, and held Shen Yi’s hand just like in the mysterious forest that day, with a hint of pride in her eyes: “Because your little general has been mine for a long time.”
Shen Yi lowered his eyes and gave no explanation, but his ears turned completely red.
Si Jin raised his head tiredly: “Are you really a man’s favorite?”
Shen Yi had a dull temper, and his face turned red because of Si Jin’s words.
Mumu nodded and emphasized again: “He is the only true male favorite and the only husband.”
