My Princess Holds Superpowers

Chapter 759: 759 Rich families are engrossed in luxury while the poor have nowhere to turn.



Odd, how did the Prince know that Prince Jing was assassinated in Shuangxi Town yesterday?

The journey from here to Shuangxi Town takes five to six days, even with the news, how could it possibly be transmitted so quickly, even at full speed?

Si Nan could never have imagined that Sikong Mo and Ye Jiu had the most efficient means of communication.

"Furthermore, from tomorrow, we shall face Nanchang, and I intend to end this war within a month and a half," Sikong Mo said, his gaze vacant as he stared into the distance, but the aura he exuded was one of absolute determination.

Si Nan frowned and responded, "Yes!"

Yet his mind was full of puzzles; according to their current battle plan, they were supposed to wear down Nanchang over time.

After all, they had ample provisions, while according to the information received, Nanchang's supplies would definitely not last more than six months.

Therefore, as long as they continued the standoff, Nanchang would inevitably retreat, and they would also be able to conserve their strength.

Similarly, as Nanchang was a major thorn in Dongyue's side, the old Emperor, relying on the Prince to guard Bianjiang, would certainly not make a move against their Prince.

But now, the sudden change in the battle plan was something Si Nan couldn't comprehend.

However, the Prince had always been prescient, and he had never lost a battle. In the military, he held a god-like prestige.

So, even though Si Nan still harbored doubts, he nonetheless followed Sikong Mo's instructions.

Si Nan could probably never guess that Sikong Mo had been in no rush before because he had time to play along with Nanchang.

But now, he needed to quickly conclude this battle, and then secure his official status before Ye Jiu returned to the capital city.

In this way, even if he went to the capital city, the old Emperor would not be able to retract the marriage so easily.

Otherwise, marrying Ye Jiu out of the hands of the Emperor and Prince Jing would be an immense challenge, perhaps more difficult than ascending to the heavens.

Fortunately, he still had time, and his girl was still young, so he could arrange everything sufficiently!

Having spent half the night with Sikong Mo in the space, Ye Jiu felt much better when she came out, and she was no longer sad.

Her experiences in two lifetimes taught her that to have a good life, one must have a thick skin.

Lady He had doted on her since she was a child, and this affection could not be feigned. Once she had her fill and gathered her energy, she would return to the Ye Family, and she refused to believe anyone could drive her out!

As for Prince Jing, Sikong Mo also made a good point; it was better to return with propriety than to follow him back with such eagerness.

As for how to return with propriety, that still required careful consideration.

Since Prince Jing had not brought any maids with him, the entire post station was filled with men.

After Ye Jiu got dressed and opened the door, there was already a guard waiting to serve her outside.

The water for washing her face was ready, but since Ye Jiu was a lady, no one dared to offer further assistance.

Breakfast was to be had with Prince Jing; as Ye Jiu was led there by a guard, Prince Jing was already sitting at the dining table waiting for her.

The table was filled with porridge, side dishes, and despite there being only the two of them, there were as many as a dozen different dishes, with five or six types of soup and porridge alone, truly the height of luxury.

Then, thinking of the people outside who couldn't even afford a meal, even the currently wealthy Ye Jiu couldn't help but lament, "Behind the red door, the wine and meat rot, but there are frozen bones on the road."

Seeing Ye Jiu walk in, looking much better than last night and dressed in the pink clothes he had prepared for her in advance, adorned in luxurious garments far superior to the rags she wore before, her originally fair complexion seemed even more delicate and rosy.
