Chapter 195: Since ancient times, the victorious ones are kings, and the defeated ones are bandits
Su Wanyan immediately became interested, "Really? Let me see."
Ji Xiaohan was amused. He looked unhappy just now, but now his eyes were curved with a smile. He was really easy to coax. "Well, I don't know which daring and righteous hero is this? He sneaked into the palace quietly and shaved the hair of Ji Yueze and several of his favorite concubines. The palace was almost in chaos. But he couldn't leak the news for fear of damaging the royal family's reputation. He kept it a secret until we left the imperial city, and then someone revealed the truth."
When Ji Xiaohan said these words, he did not glance at the little princess's face, but Su Wanyan felt a sudden heat on her face. If she did not have a good psychological quality, Ji Xiaohan would have seen through her on the spot. However, it would be really boring if there was no one to share such a fun thing.
"Haha, is that so?" Su Wanyan straightened her back and asked curiously, "Then you haven't found out which hero is acting on behalf of heaven?"
Ji Xiaohan rested one hand on the back of the chair, and placed the other hand lightly on the little princess's shoulder, intentionally or unintentionally. Upon hearing this, his fingers moved, wanting to pinch the little princess's soft earlobe, which was gradually turning red. However, he said, "That person did it secretly, and the imperial city has not yet found out who did it."
Ji Xiaohan only said that the people in the imperial city had not found out, which meant that maybe, possibly, or perhaps, they had found out on his side.
Su Wanyan also understood the hidden meaning of Ji Xiaohan's words. She met his teasing gaze and said half-angry and half-coquettishly, "I did it, what's wrong?"
Ji Xiaohan couldn't hide the smile on his face anymore. He smiled and took the proud little princess into his arms, praising her generously: "Well done!"
Su Wanyan's composure was broken for a second, and she smiled. "Isn't it? Pretty handsome, right? I did something you've always wanted to do but didn't dare to do. Don't worship me too much. My name is Haofeng, and I never leave my name behind when I do good things."
Although Ji Xiaohan didn't quite understand the meaning of the little princess's words, he knew that she was being arrogant again. He spoiled his own princess and continued to praise her without any effort: "Indeed, those ministers who were suppressed by Ji Yueze must have been hiding and laughing in their hearts."
Su Wanyan was still reading the remaining pieces of paper. When she saw one of the messages, she asked, "What's going on with Ji Mingzhao? Hasn't he always been at odds with the Crown Prince? How come he's involved in this assassination? When did these two brothers become so harmonious?"
Ji Xiaohan glanced at him calmly and said, "Perhaps, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
With a threat like Ji Xiaohan around, even if the two brothers fought to the death, they would only be making things easier for others. Perhaps they finally understood that only by resolving the uncertainties surrounding Prince Xiao could their struggle be meaningful.
Su Wanyan imitated the man's movements and nodded nonchalantly, "What a pity! Their rank is not high enough, and they have been caught by their common enemy. Will they cry when the time comes?"
"Since ancient times, the victorious ones become kings and the defeated ones become bandits. They should have been prepared long ago." Ji Xiaohan held the little princess's slender shoulders in his palms. His words sounded light, but his meaning was as heavy as Mount Tai.
I hope that when those two see their uncle attacking the imperial city, they will face failure calmly as Ji Xiaohan said.
Of course, Su Wanyan would rather see them crying and holding each other's heads. After all, the culprit who forced Ji Xiaohan to this point was their biological father.
