Huo Zhige had not been in the capital before, and Fang Ruotang was surrounded by the Crown Prince and others, so much of the information he received was already known to everyone.

He didn't know much about the more secret things.

The Crown Prince needed Huo Zhige to return to the border and conquer the Western Zhou, so he naturally couldn't hide anything about Fang Ruotang from him.

Huo Zhige scoffed, "Now you're saying this to get rid of me? What's wrong with Fang Xiaoliu? Isn't he doing just fine?"

The other five ignored Huo Zhige's emotional words.

Or perhaps they didn't know how to reason with her. They couldn't just say Fang Ruotang was a bit silly! If it were a normal person, given Fang Ruotang's ability to please everyone, let alone anyone else, the Crown Prince alone would have locked her in a dark room long ago. There would be no reason for him to make excuses for her.

"...Tell me what happened properly?" Huo Zhige paused for a moment. Some things shouldn't be praised too much against one's conscience just because one likes them.

The young prince sneered, "I wonder which bastard injured Xiao Liu, causing her to fall into a deep sleep. In order to repair her soul, she can only reincarnate in the lower realm again and again."

"Oh, right, to use Little Mirror's words, it's like the six of us simps couldn't catch up with Little Six in the upper realm, so we took advantage of her damaged soul and incomplete mind to chase her life after life, trying to move her and win her over."

"However, because Fang Ruotang's soul was incomplete and her love was damaged, she was unable to succeed until this life. Xiao Liu's soul was able to bear the attachment of the little mirror. After reading the Book of Fate, we left the little mirror in Xiao Liu's soul beforehand so that it would be reincarnated with her."

The young prince spoke slowly and deliberately, but the murderous intent in his eyes was almost overflowing. If he were to return and catch the bastard who harmed Fang Ruotang, he would surely grind them to dust.

Huo Zhige frowned and listened quietly.

In a short period of time, he filled in many things that he knew roughly before, but was unclear about the details, especially about Fang Ruotang's background.

It's unbelievable. If someone else had told him this, he would have thought they were talking nonsense or even rambling. But he knew that these five people wouldn't joke about Fang Ruotang's situation.

"Tsk! No wonder I felt so happy the moment I saw her. It turns out that this little cutie is the one I've been chasing for lifetimes but never managed to win over!" Huo Zhige laughed heartily.

Suddenly, he didn't feel so bad anymore. No matter what, he had made great progress in this life. At least he had the chance to stand in front of her and taste this sweetness.

"Our little darling's soul was damaged. If there's a way to help her recover, we definitely have to do it. But after she returns, can we go with her?"

Huo Zhige suddenly realized this, and his smile vanished abruptly.

The Crown Prince wasn't actually sure either, but he said with certainty, "The little mirror calls us six people lords."

Huo Zhige raised an eyebrow, his sharp features gradually darkening. The little mirror was not only useful to him but also had such abilities; it must have a backup plan for the future.

"Okay, I will return to the battlefield and destroy the Western Zhou, but I will take my little cutie with me."

When Huo Zhige made this request, the five princes looked at him as if he were a fool. Even the Crown Prince Rong, who was also asked to go to the battlefield, couldn't help but start to sized him up, wondering which village this simpleton had come from.

Huo Zhige said unhappily, "I'm already lagging behind you guys. If I leave the capital for the battlefield, I won't be able to come back for at least a year or two. By the time I return, my little darling might have forgotten me and found someone new."

The young prince retorted angrily, "Come on! You're the second person to kiss Ruoruo, and you're unhappy? What could you be unhappy about? I have a bellyful of grievances I can't even express!"

He clearly had a better chance of winning, but these sixth princes were all formidable opponents. Compared to the Crown Prince and Ziqi, he seemed rather naive and innocent.

"It's your problem if you're bad at cooking, but I'm not as spineless as you!" Huo Zhige glanced at the young prince with disdain.

It was that look again, that look again! The young prince went berserk, rolled up his sleeves, and was ready to fight Huo Zhige to the death.

Prince An raised his hand and patted the young prince's shoulder, "Save some face for yourself!"

It would be even more shameful to lose.

The young prince's face immediately took on a variety of expressions, turning from pale to flushed.

"Are you his brother or mine?"

"What are you saying, little imperial uncle?"

Prince An used the gentlest tone to stab the deepest knife.

Huo Zhige clicked his tongue and said with displeasure, "You old guy who's a generation below us, you actually dare to try and steal people from us? Don't you have any shame?"

The young prince's chest trembled violently with anger, and he said irritably, "We were born on the same day, month, and year, and you're calling me an old man?"

Huo Zhige knew how to manipulate the young prince, and with a haughty look in his eyes, he glanced at him, clearly not taking him seriously.

The main reason is that Huo Zhige, a military general, genuinely couldn't appreciate the young prince's delicate, even somewhat seductive, appearance, seeing him as a pretty boy who couldn't lift a finger.

Especially when he laughs, his unserious manner is just like the Rabbit God in the Nanfeng Pavilion.

This is why the young prince didn't know what Huo Zhige was thinking. But if he said it out loud, the young prince would risk being beaten to a pulp just to scratch the other man.

"Whether Xiao Liu goes with you or not is not up to you or me. It is up to her to decide. But I can assure you that if you can persuade Xiao Liu to go to the border to see you, I will send someone to escort her there. Similarly, after you return in triumph, I will not stop you from getting close to Xiao Liu."

The Crown Prince's words were not only directed at Huo Zhige, but also at Prince Rong.

The two remained silent, and even Huo Zhige did not rush to refute anything.

Having had the experience of kidnapping someone once, he knew very well that the Crown Prince dared to say this because he was certain that Fang Ruotang would not leave the capital.

"I'm giving you time to consider, but I hope you won't keep me waiting too long." The Crown Prince's transfer this time was partly driven by personal motives, but not entirely.

The Rong family's ancestors helped Emperor Taizu conquer the country. After several dynasties, the Rong family's extraordinary status became a thorn in the side of successive emperors.

To save the lives of his clan, Rong Shizi's great-grandfather voluntarily relinquished his military power and went into seclusion. Nearly fifty years have passed since then. Rong Shizi has never witnessed the glory of the Rong Prince's Mansion, only heard about it from his ancestors. He must be eager to revitalize the family business, and this is an opportunity for him.

The most important reason, according to the Crown Prince from the little mirror, is that the six of them are the strongest men in this world. He did not insist that they go to the battlefield because of personal feelings, but because their personal command could quickly solve the problem and shorten the duration of the war. This is the key.

His primary motivation for advocating war was to consolidate the territories of the three kingdoms, promote Fang Ruotang's good name, and win the faith of the people, rather than to let the people suffer from the ravages of war, which would be a greater loss than gain.

“Okay, I promise you.” Prince Rong didn’t hesitate for long.

He didn't know if the other four people were like Huo Zhige, falling in love with Fang Ruotang at first sight, but the first time he saw Fang Ruotang was when she was very young. At that time, he had just become engaged to Miss Fang and was stepping into the gate of the Prime Minister's mansion for the first time.
