Yao Ruo spread her hands and said, "So you see, isn't this just a transaction?
To tell you the truth, at first, the princess wanted to kill Ji Youze, and she even prepared poisoned wine.
I personally helped prepare it."
Guard Xiao, upon hearing this, said, "In that case, Pearl must not have succeeded, and then Ji Youze threatened her. No, I cannot let Pearl just marry Ji Youze like this!"
Yao Ruo turned her head aside, blinked, then turned back, her eyes full of helplessness as she spoke.
"What good is it if you disagree?
They've already set the wedding date. At this critical moment, you can't really go and kill Ji Youze, can you?"
Guard Xiao's eyes lit up at this, and he said, "Don't worry about how I'll do it. Just stay out of this; I'll handle it myself!"
He then hurriedly sent Yao Ruo away.
At night, Yao Ruo took Pearl to the rooftop to look at the moon.
