Chapter 981
That's too direct.
"So I'd like to know, if we can't bring a princess back with us on this trip, is there any other way for His Highness to obtain the position of Regent?"
It's truly ironic how fate works.
They are clearly mortal enemies, but under these circumstances, they have no choice but to seek help from their mortal enemy.
“Of course there is,” Zhong Jie said without hesitation, “However, this will be a very difficult decision, especially for your Highness.”
"Please enlighten me, Your Highness."
"We bow down and submit to the Great Zhou."
Zhong Jie's voice was extremely firm.
The princess's expression changed drastically.
"I think Your Highnesses have considered this answer, but it is too difficult. Therefore, the Sixth Prince wants to avoid this choice as much as possible, and even plans to take more extreme measures after returning."
The princess remained silent, but pressed her lips tightly together.
Clearly, Zhong Jie was right.
“Actually, we all know that Nan Chu has no chance of winning this time,” Zhong Jie said. “Sending a princess here is already a sign of weakness. So why do you have to do things properly while still trying to maintain your dignity and putting in effort that is thankless?”
The princess bit her lip: "We all understand this principle, but putting it into practice is really difficult."
Zhong Jie nodded: "It is indeed difficult, but this is your only way. You should think about it carefully."
"...Thank you, Your Highness."
The princess sighed and finally got up and left.
Watching her retreating figure, Zhong Jie couldn't help but sigh, then turned around and said, "I've really done all sorts of jobs."
Persuading people to surrender is not her job.
"The capable should do more work."
Huo Yue came out from behind, "Finally, we've gotten rid of them."
“Isn’t that right?” Zhong Jie said. “In your opinion, what will this couple do in the end?”
“The Sixth Prince is not a reckless person, but he is indeed not good at being flexible,” Huo Yue shook his head, “So, it’s hard to say.”
Zhong Jie sighed.
Seeing this, Huo Yue said, "No matter what kind of trouble they cause in Southern Chu, it has nothing to do with us. If things get out of hand, we can just sit back and reap the benefits."
"That's true."
For Southern Chu, the best path is to make Southern Chu submit.
However, how to proceed in this step is not their concern. As Huo Yue said, the fiercer the fighting in Southern Chu, the better for them.
Zhong Jie put down her teacup, and also put these matters aside: "By the way, what did the Marquis's mansion say?"
"Don't worry, I personally took charge, there won't be any problems."
Zhong Jie nodded then: "That's good."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pressed her temples: "If it weren't for Zhaozhao's fondness for him, and the fact that Zirong is also a good child, I really wouldn't want to get involved with that Marquis."
It's strange, really. How could someone like that marry such a woman and have such a child?
"I'm afraid he's used up all his brainpower to try and improve his luck."
As soon as Huo Yue finished speaking, Zhong Jie burst out laughing.
