Li Ji didn't want the mastermind to get their way. The best solution was to pretend nothing had happened, secretly dispose of the two female assassins, and minimize the incident's impact.
Hua Manman sighed. 'To think Prince Zhao, who looks so splendid, is actually surrounded by so much danger.'
'Looks like being a villain isn't easy at all!'
Li Ji raised an eyebrow. 'So, in this woman's mind, I'm the villain.'
He wasn't angry. On the contrary, he found it amusing.
He smiled and asked, "Did that scare you?"
Hua Manman immediately put on an act, saying shyly,
"As long as you are here, my Prince, I fear nothing."
'I give myself full marks for that answer!'
'Such a perfect answer! I'm practically moving myself to tears!'
'There's no way Prince Zhao won't be moved by this!'
Li Ji reached out, his fingertips brushing her jaw. He said with a faint, unreadable smile,
"Tomorrow is your ceremonial third-day visit home. I will accompany you."
