Chapter 704: A Warrior Can Be Killed, But Not Insulted

At dusk.

The Tenth Princess Dugu Xiu received a message from the guards, saying that the Emperor wanted to see her.

"I won't go," Dugu Xiu huffed.

"Oh my princess, can you please not be so petulant?" Dongfang Jian said with a wry smile, "When the Emperor summons you, it's definitely for something important. Stop being so stubborn and just go quickly."

"If I say I won't go, I won't go!"

"Do you want to infuriate me to death!"

"A few days ago, he rebuked me in front of everyone, drove me out of the great hall, and made me lose face. I will never see him again in my life."

"You… don't forget, the Emperor is about to pass away, and you may never see him again in your life… Listen to me, go quickly! Be good! When you come back, I'll reward you handsomely!"

After a long, earnest persuasion, Dongfang Jian finally managed to get through to Dugu Xiu.

"For your sake, I'll go this once," Dugu Xiu said with a face full of reluctance as she left.
