"I even... know that the reason you supported me in attacking the Sixth Sanctuary was to disrupt the situation across the entire 'Northwestern Region.'"
"And also so that after I take the Sixth Sanctuary, the Four Provinces Group can use Qiu Tu's prestige within the 'Reformists' to replace me. Let Qiu Tu become the true 'King of the Northwest.'"
At this, Princess Xi looked deeply at Yanyan and said, "I have to admit, I always thought I was ruthless enough. But you are even more ruthless than I am."
"In ancient times, emperors burned beacon fires to amuse a beauty; now you, Yan Yan, have thrown the whole Northwest into chaos just to please a man."
Yanyan's face turned slightly pale; obviously, all her calculations had been seen through by Princess Xi.
But she still smiled and said, "Sister Xixi, I'm not thinking that far ahead. I just wanted to pave the way a bit for Qiu Tu, that's all."
"Besides... you've already seen through me, haven't you."
