A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1212 - 950: Princess Pearl

Dongyue Chancellor’s rebellion?The Emperor and Ji Youzhi couldn’t help but glance at each other upon hearing this.

"Do you suspect that Xunyang has extended his influence into Dongyue?"

The Emperor asked Ji Youze.

Ji Youze nodded.

"That’s right, and among the Dongyue royal family, there aren’t many capable royal relatives.

But in this coup, they were almost completely defeated, with only one person surviving. I’ve received news that she is heading towards Yanyun Ridge.

If my calculations are correct, she’ll be knocking on the gate seeking an audience with Your Majesty within the next few days."

The Emperor couldn’t help but widen his eyes at Ji Youze’s words, "Who is it?"

Ji Youze’s lips curled slightly, "The Black Pearl!"

"The infamous princess of Dongyue Country! It’s rumored that her brother, her younger brother, and two successive stepmothers all perished at her hands!"

Ji Youzhi, aware of this Pearl Princess, chimed in as he heard this.

Ji Youze glanced at him, "I find her quite interesting!"

Ji Youzhi and the Emperor’s eyes widened in surprise, staring at Ji Youze in disbelief.

"Oh my, am I seeing things?

Youzhi, did you see that? Youze has a third expression on his face."

The Emperor, as if discovering a new continent, pointed at Ji Youze’s face and said to Ji Youzhi.

Ji Youzhi was completely stunned, swallowed, and reached out to touch Ji Youze’s head, "Old Eight, are you sick or something?"

Ji Youze glared at his brother, quickly reverting to his expressionless face.

"Your Majesty, Princess Ata requests an audience!"

Suddenly, Eunuch Ling’s voice echoed from outside.

"Why has Princess Ata suddenly requested an audience?"

The Emperor murmured in puzzlement.

Ji Youze emotionlessly reminded him, "You forget, you once promised that as long as the investigation into the altar in Nanyang Town proved it wasn’t the intention of the Nanjiang King, you wouldn’t send troops against Nanjiang and would also renew the alliance between the two countries!"

Upon hearing Ji Youze’s words, the Emperor nodded and then said.

"I think this matter can indeed be put on the agenda. Do you have any opinions?"

Ji Youze said, "I don’t see any issue!"

Ji Youzhi said, "I don’t interfere in such national affairs, just call me when there’s a case!"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor instantly laughed so much that his eyes curved, "That’s perfect, there are quite a few pending cases at the Ministry of Justice. Due to the investigation at Prince Cheng’s mansion, many corrupt officials were uncovered. The Minister of Justice has submitted his resignation, and the Justice Minister has also been demoted. You choose one between the Minister and the junior minister!"

Ji Youzhi hurriedly declined upon hearing this, "I can’t handle this, the Divine Hunter is my stronghold. Don’t even think about it, Your Majesty."

The Emperor reasoned with him, "In such a vast nation, without a capable Minister of Justice, I really worry about unjust cases occurring all over the country!

Youzhi, can you really bear to see..."

"Your Majesty!"

Before the Emperor could finish, he was immediately interrupted by Ji Youzhi.

"If I’m not mistaken, didn’t you always want my third brother to serve? Even Princess Lianchun intervened, and she also made a deal with my third brother. If I were to join the Ministry of Justice now, the Ministry of Revenue..."

"Cough cough... Youze! That Ministry of Revenue is quite in disarray, if you have time, perhaps you can persuade your third brother. My National Treasury really needs someone competent to manage it!"

The Emperor finished and then said to Eunuch Ling outside, "Summon Princess Ata in!"

Ji Youzhi: "..."

Princess Ata was in a hurry, so much so that she didn’t even have time to change into formal palace attire upon entering the palace.

"Your Majesty, there’s a major issue!"

As soon as Princess Ata entered the Imperial Study, the first thing she did upon seeing the Emperor was not to bow, but to anxiously hand over a letter to him.

Seeing this, Eunuch Ling quickly took the envelope, first opening it and ensuring there was no problem with the envelope or letter paper before presenting it to the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter I received from the Pearl Princess of Dongyue Country.

Xunyang has extended his influence into Dongyue, the entire Dongyue royal family perished at the hands of Dongyue’s Chancellor Wei Heng. Now, the Pearl Princess of Dongyue Country has already led her trusted followers to escape to Great Han."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor couldn’t help but glance at Ji Youzhi’s brothers.

Ji Youze nodded to him, and only then did he unfold the letter brought by Princess Ata.

"The Pearl Princess requests that I send troops to help her quell the rebellion!"

Princess Ata nodded and glanced at Ji Youzhi.

Seeing her small action, the Emperor couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you looking at Youzhi?"

Princess Ata hesitated, and the Emperor generously said, "Do you have something to say privately to Youzhi?"
