In This Life, I'll Assist You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 73
“Am I really supposed to be here?”
I hesitated without even realizing it. I’d mistakenly assumed this gathering was just for Her Imperial Majesty the Empress, His Grace the Grand Duke, and Lady Antoine.
Then again, a tea party in the Imperial Palace wouldn’t be that simple.
I glanced subtly toward the Grand Duke. His expression was unreadable.
“Your Grace, you’ve come.”
“I pay my respects to Her Imperial Majesty the Empress.”
At the Grand Duke’s formal greeting, the Empress welcomed him warmly. All the other young ladies rose to their feet and bowed deeply before him.
“We pay our respects to Your Grace, the Shield of the Empire.”
At their greeting, the Grand Duke gave them a slight nod of acknowledgment.
“Lady Antoine, you’re as charming as ever today.”
At the Empress’s warm smile, Daisy replied in a clear, cheerful voice.
“I pay my respects to Her Imperial Majesty the Empress!”
“It seems you’ve already grown accustomed to the capital? Our young lady is brimming with energy.”
“Oh dear, it’s been quite an eventful journey, Your Majesty.”
“Hmm? Eventful? Haha, now I’m truly curious what that means.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
