Just got on the sedan chair, Litchi couldn't help but ask me.

"Princess, you actually knew about this a long time ago, why did you wait until now to tell Xu Xiang?"

"Because now is the best time."

A year ago, recognizing each other, but it's different from recognizing each other now.

After all, in this past year, the emperor has suppressed me a lot in order to stand up for Xiao Jingqing.

Xu Xiang was also involved.

And there is nothing more detestable than being used by others, almost sending my own granddaughter to the barbarians as a political marriage for the sake of an enemy's descendant.

Now, how much the grandfather hates Xiao Jingxuan and his sister, he feels equally sorry and guilty towards me.

And what I want is this guilt from my grandfather.

Back at the princess's residence.

Litchi reminded me that I still have to go to Liu Xiang's residence at the hour of the Pig.

"I'm not going."

I shrugged my shoulders and lay down on the soft couch.

"Ah? Princess, why is that?"

"If you've settled things with Xu Xiang, do you still need Liu Xiang?"

"But, Princess, having more people opposing the Emperor and supporting you in the court is also good!"

Litchi was even more anxious than me.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Litchi, what do you think is my purpose in trying to win over Xu Xiang and Liu Xiang?"

"Naturally, it's to enter the court! To regain what's yours! And also, Princess, you've always cared about the people's livelihood, so this way you can do things for the people!"

"But Litchi, even if I am in the court and have many supporters,

"as long as the one standing above is the Crown Prince, the one who sets the rules, I will never be able to get around him.

"Besides, do you think the Crown Prince would really tolerate me?"

Litchi shook her head.

"Princess, are you saying...?"

"Litchi, who said that ambition is only for men? Since men can be emperor, why can't women?"

"Princess, are you going to be an empress?"

Litchi raised her voice.

Her voice showed no fear, only excitement.

When I nodded, she got the definite answer and jumped up, ready to take action.
