The princess has figured it out. Perhaps because Ji Zhe carries a huge hatred on his shoulders, he doesn't like to get close to people.

By chance, she saved him and Da Huang, so it was normal for him to have a good impression of her.

However, this affection was not what he thought it was; it was probably just gratitude...

However, when Ji Zhe heard this, instead of being pleased, his face turned even darker.

Why did it seem more and more wrong the more he listened?

Doesn't the eldest princess still treat him as a child?

"Your Highness, I am the Seventh Prince of Beimo. I am in charge of the largest assassin organization in Beimo, Fuxinglou. Our assets are mainly located on the border between Beimo and Dongye."

"I can take responsibility for any actions I've taken."

Ji Zhe said each word seriously, his eyes full of seriousness.

He used his most mysterious and unknown identity, one that even Xiao Moqing couldn't find any definite evidence for.

Only to the eldest princess did he reveal everything.

"I truly regret my actions during the day, but I absolutely have no intention of disrespecting Your Highness, nor do I use Your Highness as a tool for the marriage between our two countries."

"I am driven by love. Every word I said today is sincere. I like you. As long as you are willing, I am willing to give up my identity in Beimo and follow you to Dongye."

"Maybe you don't accept me now, but please consider me as someone you can consider. I won't give up."

The young man spoke sincerely, and said many words in succession. His eyes sparkled in the moonlight.

His face was serious and his tone was earnest, as he sat there domineeringly under the scattered stars.

The princess looked at the person in front of her seriously, and her heart skipped a beat.

This feeling was different from the one in the secret room of Yuqing Palace during the day.

Her expression was moved. This was the first time a man had spoken to her about such a thing so seriously.

Her previous marriage with the prince consort, despite the illusion of harmony and beauty,

In fact, it is the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.

Yes, the beginning of her failed marriage was so pale.

It is so pale that no matter how much others praise it, it is just a facade, a tattered and difficult to maintain relationship.

So even though she no longer feels nostalgic for the past, she still refuses to accept new people, because she is really unsure and lacks the confidence to accept a stranger.

But the young man in front of him was different. He analyzed everything he had in front of him.

He has no fancy words, only a sincere heart.

Faced with such a wanton and sincere young man, the princess was inevitably moved, but she was not sure whether she could really face another relationship bravely.

She looked evasive, turned her head to look at the distant sky, and said casually,

"You should know my past, right? I divorced my husband a few months ago."

The princess glanced around, but she didn't look at Ji Zhe. She stroked Da Huang's hand with increasing strength.

The dog whimpered and jumped down.

Realizing something, she suddenly reacted and let go of Da Huang, letting it find a comfortable place to nest.

At the same time, tears glistened in his eyes.

All of this was seen by Ji Zhe. He grabbed the princess's shoulders and forced her to look at him.

But other than that, there was no action that crossed the line. He said solemnly,

"I know, I know everything, but it is precisely because of this that I feel even more sorry for Your Highness. Your Highness deserves better."

The boy spoke anxiously, fearing that a moment's delay would lead to lifelong regret.

The pain in his eyes tugged at the princess's heart.

The tears that had been swirling in her eyes finally fell.

She couldn't describe her feelings at the moment, but she really wanted to cry.

In the final analysis, she was self-deprecating. Even if it was the Prince Consort's fault, she had already lost her innocence.

From the moment she divorced her husband, she was ready to live out her life alone.

Let me ask you, is there any man in the world who would be willing to accept himself after he has been married?

Even if that person was under pressure from the emperor's uncle and the power of the young emperor, it was just another show. Who would treat her sincerely?

So she never thought about getting married again.

But the person in front of her said that she felt sorry for her, and her emotions suddenly burst out, and the grievances that were suppressed in her heart had nowhere to hide.

"Your Highness, please don't cry. I was wrong. I said the wrong thing. Please don't cry."

The young man had never seen such a scene before, and immediately became flustered.

He reached out his hand clumsily to wipe the princess' tears, but was afraid of hurting her, so he hesitated and didn't dare to wipe them.

I wanted to hold her in my arms to comfort her, but I was afraid of crossing the line and making my sister angry.

After all the fake moves, I didn't wipe away the tears, nor did I hug anyone. In this cold winter, I was busy sweating...

The princess looked at the silly look of the boy and couldn't help laughing.

"What did you do wrong?"

The eldest princess glanced at the young man with a mischievous smile in her eyes.

Seeing that she was still crying but finally smiled, Ji Zhe felt relieved and started to smile too.

"Anyway, since His Highness is crying, it must be my fault!"

Ji Zhe finally reacted and quickly took out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to the princess, asking her to wipe her tears.

He had a silly smile on his face. No matter what, he would admit his mistake first, that would be right!

Seeing this, Dahuang, who had been lying between the two of them, wagged his tail, trying to make her happy.

"Why are you so stupid?"

The princess was left in a state of confusion by his actions.

I wondered who he learned this stupidity from?

"I'm not stupid. I like the best person in the world."

Ji Zhe suddenly said seriously, the emotion in his eyes could not be concealed even in the dark night.

The princess was startled.

She also began to seriously think about the possibilities between her and Ji Zhe. They had only known each other for a little over a month. Could she really give everything to him?

"You don't have to take this feeling of gratitude and appreciation as love just because I saved you once."

The princess turned around, wiped the tears from her face casually, and said this casually,

She tried hard to suppress the throbbing in her heart. She was worried that if she continued to look into the boy's eyes, she would really sink...

However, this sentence triggered Ji Zhe's minefield, and he laughed out loud in anger.

He thought he had made himself clear, but he didn't expect it to be misunderstood.

"Your Highness, you don't really think that I was in trouble that day, do you?"

"I said I was the owner of Fuxing Building, the largest assassin organization in the Northern Desert. I also had influence on the border of Dongye, and my people were nearby at the time."

"Perhaps this is fate from heaven, destined for me to meet His Highness, and for me to fall in love with His Highness at first sight."

The young man had an unruly smile on his lips. With every word he spoke, he leaned forward, causing the princess to hold her breath.

She didn't dare to speak, fearing that he would treat her the same way as he did in the secret room of Yuqing Palace.
