Chapter 1702: Princess Yanwu
Yun Bixue startled. “The youngest princess of the royal family?”
Xie Limo nodded.
Yun Bixue thought about something and frowned. She mumbled, “Based on the information I found out the previous time, his Majesty dotes a lot on this daughter of his. She was given a t.i.tle the moment she was born. It was also rumored that she was born a beautiful child and was adored by the entire royal family.”
“That’s right.”
Yun Bixue did not notice the subtle change in Xie Limo’s expression and continued, “I’ve also heard that both Majesty Kang and Majesty Huang are extremely protective of her, but I’ve never seen her before.”
Xie Limo answered in a crisp voice, “His Majesty is unwell, so she returned from overseas. Based on the rumors, she has always stayed overseas because of studies and for her health issues as well.”
“Such a beautiful person has poor health?”
“Yes, or else she wouldn’t have stayed overseas.”
Yun Bixue let out a noise of acknowledgement. So it was like that. “Everyone knows that she’s back?”
Xie Limo placed the remote control to the side and picked the bones out from Yun Bixue’s fish. “There’s no need to ‘hear’ about it. On the day she returned, every n.o.ble family sent people to welcome her at the airport, but this princess did not show her face at all.”
Yun Bixue’s expression turned serious. “This princess’s standing is higher than Majesty Kang and Majesty Huang within the royal family, so technically, she can oppress them?”
“Not oppress. It’s the both of them who are protective over their younger sister.”
Something clicked in Yun Bixue’s mind. “Being protective of her in the past doesn’t mean that they are protective of her now.”
Xie Limo’s hands paused, and he remained silent. He placed the fish into Yun Bixue’s mouth. “Perhaps your guess is correct.”
Yun Bixue chewed on the fish and felt all warm and fuzzy inside. Her eyes shone as she spoke, “In that case, doesn’t it mean that their relations.h.i.+p with the princess might not be as good as it was in the past?”
Xie Limo wiped the oil off the corner of Yun Bixue’s mouth. “During her return, both of them stated that they were busy and didn’t go to the airport to welcome her.”
Yun Bixue’s eyes curled into crescents as they shone brightly. “So, it’s a three way confrontation.” For Yun Bixue, if the three of them had separate motivations, it would be beneficial for her and Xie Limo.
Xie Limo immediately knew what his wife was thinking about. He said warmly, “The princess does not have a great influence on the citizens, but she wields a part of the military power.”
Yun Bixue’s heart sank a little. “That military power was given to her by His Majesty? Did he intend for her to use it to protect herself or did he intend for her to gain power with that?”
After speaking, Yun Bixue who was observing Xie Limo’s expression asked, “Limo, what’s you take about this?”
“Country A’s power must fall into Xie family’s hands.”
Yun Bixue nodded. Their initial goal hadn’t changed. No matter what role the princess played, she was not allowed to threaten their position.
But this princess was too beautiful. Sometimes even beauty could be used as a weapon as well.
Worried that Yun Bixue would overthink, Xie Limo switched to an entertainment channel.
“Why aren’t you watching anymore?”
“Your term is near its end. It’s better to think less and watch more lighthearted shows.”
Sure, she guessed. After all, he was doing this for her own good.
That night, Xie Limo helped her bathe and soaked her feet before ma.s.saging her.
Yun Bixue’s heart ached a little seeing how busy Xie Limo was. “Limo, don’t ma.s.sage me anymore.”
She felt bad having him take care of her in this manner. She wanted to take care of him, but her health disallowed it, making her feel helpless.
