Master Bailong had long ago predicted Princess Basha's fate: a beautiful woman destined for a tragic end, her life filled with hardship, just like her mother's. Her destiny was predetermined, and he was powerless to change it. He could save her this time, but not next time. Only Basha herself could save herself.
Ye Qingqing sensed something was wrong and panicked. "Does the master mean that Basha won't make it this time?"
Master Bailong shook his head. "It depends on her own wishes. If she wants to live, she can live; if she doesn't want to live, no one can save her."
Gongsun Lin was furious and shouted, "But Basha's suffering over the past ten years was all brought about by Julie. Why can Julie, an illegitimate daughter, bully the legitimate princess? Isn't it because she relies on the king's favor? And all of this is because of the huge lie you told for her. You Buddhists believe in cause and effect. So, isn't the reason Basha suffers the result of what you planted?"
Ye Qingqing was immediately impressed; this girl was quite eloquent!
“Master, don’t you think you should take some responsibility for Basha’s suffering?” Ye Qingqing retorted.
Master Bailong looked embarrassed. The two little girls' words made him feel guilty. Upon closer examination, it seemed to make sense. He was indeed the cause of Princess Basha's suffering.
So be it. Since it was his own doing, let him deal with it!
"I will also send my regards to Princess Basha tomorrow," the White Dragon Master finally relented.
Ye Qingqing and Gongsun Lin were overjoyed. Basha should be able to escape this predicament now. If they can also get rid of that wicked woman Julie, Basha's life will definitely not be so hard anymore. Maybe she can even find a good marriage!
That night passed particularly slowly; Ye Qingqing couldn't sleep. It was a pity she couldn't go into the palace with Master Bailong the next day, nor could she witness Julie's misfortune firsthand. But the official royal newspaper would definitely report it.
Based on the King's past practices, Princess Julie's fate should be to rest and recuperate from illness, and she will no longer appear in public. As for whether she lives or dies, it depends on how much the King still loves his daughter.
In the palace, Julie also suffered from insomnia.
She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, so she got up and drank some alcohol. Her heart felt heavy, and she had a feeling that something was going to happen.
"Is that old monk still unwilling to leave the seclusion?" Hearing the familiar footsteps behind her, Julie didn't turn her head, her voice icy.
It was Madam Wu who came. "The monk saw me yesterday, chatted with me for a while, and said he would be out of seclusion next month."
Julie's eyes lit up with joy. "He's smart enough not to come out. If he still refuses, I'll support Master White Tiger."
Hmph, anyone who refuses to serve her should all die!
Madam Wu frowned and advised, "The White Tiger is ambitious and difficult to control. The White Dragon is easier to manage, after all, he still has feelings for us."
Julie smiled smugly, "That old man is so easy to fool. He believed a few sweet words. Men are all idiots."
Yoshihisa Kamiya, Edward, the White Dragon Mage, Basha's fiancé, and the King are all fools, completely manipulated and fooled by her.
"How's that idiot Basha doing? Did she tell him about the husband Father chose for her?" Julie's eyes were malicious, with a hint of schadenfreude.
A princess who has lost her virginity and is rejected by the king, what good man could she possibly want to marry? She'd be lucky if any man was willing to marry her. That man was a psychopath she had carefully chosen because of his peculiar fetish for killing his wife. If the foolish Basha married such a man, she would surely be reduced to ashes.
