Chapter 1004: Chapter 872: The Night Pearl

Upon hearing Huo Xing’Er’s words, Zhu Xiuxiu couldn’t help but chuckle!

"What can that little girl possibly know about danger?

I reckon this is just her own idea. She probably didn’t even discuss it with her mother or brother, and just came straight to find me."

Hearing this, Huo Xing’Er and the others became even more bewildered.

Ji Youze frowned, "What the Xiling Imperial Palace has, the Great Han Imperial Palace must also have. Given the Emperor and Empress Dowager’s pampering of her, is there anything she desires that they wouldn’t grant her?"

As Ji Youze spoke, Huo Xing’Er quickly added, "Exactly! According to the old eighth’s account, this time the little girl and brother rescued Princess Lianchun, who’s been a puppet for many years.

Surely, she’s even more favored by the Emperor and Empress Dowager now. What could she desire that she wouldn’t get?"

Nanny Xiao from the Capital City added with a smile, "The warehouse is almost half empty, so how could she not get it?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiuxiu thought for a moment and said, "She wants East Pearls, large ones, the size of Night Pearls."

"Ah!"

Huo Xing’Er and Ji Youze exchanged a glance.

"Why would she want East Pearls? Those as large as Night Pearls are indeed rare, but in the Great Han Imperial Palace, I remember there should be several!"

Ji Youze said, puzzled.

"It’s not actually her who wants them, but her sister-in-law, because the fetus in her womb is unstable. It’s said that the two children are fighting inside the womb over spiritual energy. The little girl discovered that a special large East Pearl contains a unique vitality she wants to use to carve an array."

"I understand now. That’s a special kind of East Pearl, naturally carrying spiritual energy, but such pearls are very rare and found in the deep sea. Pearl divers encounter one only once in a century!"

"So this East Pearl is truly a lifesaver, and for the Xiling Imperial Palace, we must depart immediately."

Zhu Xiuxiu realized the gravity of the situation upon hearing Huo Xing’Er’s words.

Ji Youze said, "Going to Xiling to obtain the East Pearls will be difficult for Third Sister-in-law. I need to make some arrangements."

Huo Xing’Er stood up promptly and said, "I’ll go with Xiuxiu, Princess Ata, you..."

Princess Ata stood up quickly and said.

"We brought three large East Pearls as tribute from Nanjiang this time. Why didn’t she bring me into the Dream Realm?

I’ll write a letter to have Ah Jia deliver it to her right now."

After saying that, Princess Ata started writing the letter and had Ji Youze send it to the Capital City by express courier!

Ji Youze quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you! Our Ji Family will certainly reciprocate in the future!"

Princess Ata shook her head, "A lifesaving grace! It’s only right to repay it!"

Having said this, she then addressed Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo Xing’Er, "Ladies, East Pearls are not exclusive to the Xiling Imperial Palace. Dongyue is by the sea, so the Dongyue Imperial Palace must also have East Pearls. You go to Xiling, and I’ll set off for Dongyue!"

"Dongyue?

How can you travel alone?"

Ji Youze suddenly couldn’t help but show a worried expression.

"It’s fine. I have some connections with Princess Black Pearl of Dongyue; she will certainly gift me a few East Pearls."

"I see, in that case, thank you very much, Princess Ata."

Ji Youze very earnestly cupped his hands towards her and even bowed.

"No need, Young Master Eight. As I said earlier, I’m just repaying a favor, and besides, as the Third Madam and Second Madam mentioned, not every East Pearl contains vitality.

The East Pearls I get from Dongyue may not necessarily have it."

"Even so, your willingness to help is very commendable. When Suisui saved you, it was a matter of state. If something happened to you, it would trouble our Great Han. But this time, my sister-in-law’s pregnancy is a personal matter, yet you’re still so concerned. It speaks volumes about your kind nature."

Princess Ata blushed upon hearing this. As she and Ji Youze walked in the backyard, she gazed at the bright moon in the sky, not wanting to reveal to others that Ji Youyuan had once saved her in Nanjiang.

And in the Young Master Eight’s heart, she was seen as a kind person, how wonderful!

"I must take my leave, farewell!"

Princess Ata gave a faint smile, gathered her Qi, leapt onto the rooftop, and disappeared!

In the distance, Zhu Xiuxiu blinked and asked Huo Xing’Er.

"Did I see it wrong, or did the old eighth look somewhat reluctant to let her go?"
