Lan Yin was really surprised. From her point of view, she thought this was the end. After all, she had defeated Prime Minister Fu and the Queen!

Back then, the general and Fu Xiang had many disagreements. Lan Yin kept wondering whether the general's death might have something to do with Fu Xiang.

So this time Jiang Li attacked the queen and the others, she always thought that Jiang Li was thinking of going together with her.

However, it wasn't until this moment that she suddenly realized that the queen... was just the beginning in the eyes of the princess?

Jiang Li heard the confusion between these two words, and just smiled and said, "Of course it's the beginning. We still have a long way to go, so let's take our time."

Lan Yin's face was solemn, but in the midst of the turmoil in her heart, she felt infinite pride.

Her princess is really different from others!

"Princess can succeed this time, I believe I can do the same in the future!"

Returning to Jinghe Palace, Jiang Li took a good bath and asked Lan Yin to prepare a gift for visiting the patient.

Afterwards, she dressed up, had lunch, and then left the palace to visit Qin Jue.

When she left, she specifically told the young eunuch who came to see her off, "Please help me tell my father that I will stay in the Donglin Palace to take care of her personally when I leave the palace to express my sincerity."

Well, another reasonable reason to stay outside the palace.

There are still a lot of things that need to be dealt with after closing the network, so we can just take advantage of this time to finish them.

As the carriage approached Prince Donglin's Mansion, Jiang Li took his mind off other things, and then... began to think about the relationship between her and Qin Jue.

I thought I had reached the end of the road, but it turned out to be a twisty road and headed in a strange direction again.

That's all... let's talk about it after we meet.

When he saw Qin Jue, he looked different from what he had imagined lying on the bed sickly.

On the contrary... except for the wounds on his face that were still hideous, he looked pretty good.

When he saw Jiang Li, he just nodded to her calmly and said, "You're here."

As soon as this imperial edict was issued, the Donglin Prince's Palace naturally got the news early and had been waiting for her, so he was not surprised to see her.

But when Jiang Li looked at his expression carefully, he didn't seem to see any hatred.

Hmm... The brat was becoming more and more emotionless now, and she suddenly missed the time when he would grin when he saw her in the first place. At least she could still know what he was thinking.

Alas, it’s her fault for teaching so well.

After thinking about it, Jiang Li sat down and motioned for others to go out.

She and Qin Jue were the only two people left in the room.

There was no trace of guilt or guilt on her face, and she was still arrogant. She put one hand on the table and pressed it twice, then raised her chin and said, "Tell me, why do you do this?"

Qin Jue raised his eyebrows subtly, a little surprised...for her to react like this.

Although he already knew who Jiang Li was, he thought he would be a little guilty.

But no, it was as if she had never felt this way before.

After a moment of silence, Qin Jue did not answer immediately, but asked instead, "Before that, should you tell me... why are you doing this?"

As he spoke, he pointed at his face calmly, "Why, are you finally tired of looking at it?"

Jiang Li chuckled, "Don't you know?"

Qin Jue looked at her for a moment and chose to give in, "I said I would resolve this matter, and you promised to believe me, but now it seems... you don't seem to have kept your promise."

Jiang Li twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly, "Do you think you should be trusted by me with your actions?"

"Qin Jue, in your repeated silences and hesitations, you have consumed my trust."

"Really?" Qin Jue stared into her eyes, "Please speak according to your conscience...Have you ever really trusted me?"

This time Jiang Li was silent for a moment, and then simply admitted, "No."

"But the facts also prove that you are indeed not worthy of my trust."

She has no doubts until now, "To be honest, if I hadn't scratched your face first that day, would you have given the same answer?"

Hearing this, Qin Jue suddenly laughed, as if he thought it was outrageous, "Do you think that the reason why I did this was that you scared me, so I changed my decision temporarily?"

Jiang Li shrugged his shoulders, "Although it's not very reasonable, I can't think of any other reason... If not, why don't you explain it to me?"

"Heh... I need to explain."

Qin Jue lowered his eyes, hiding the disappointment in his eyes.

"From the beginning to the end, I never thought about marrying Meng Wanwan."

"All my hesitation and delay are just because the emperor wants me to agree."

He said, "The emperor wants me to marry Meng Wanwan, and then let someone else marry you. He has never been so assured of me. He feels that he will feel more at ease if it is more controllable."

"On the contrary, if you want to get married, what you need is a good-for-nothing prince who is not involved in political affairs, so that the Liang people will not take this opportunity to plot evil."

"But... he didn't want to take the initiative to offend you, so he asked me to take the initiative to choose Meng Wanwan."

"You know, I don't have the right to say no in front of him, but I really don't want to."

"On the other hand, I can't directly offend Liang Guo. Otherwise, if there is a problem with Liang Guo's diplomatic relations, this hat will definitely be pinned on my head."

"Jiang Li...I'm not indecisive, it's just that I have no choice at all!"

Jiang Li didn't expect to hear Qin Jue say these words, but her first reaction was still suspicion.

"If that's why you didn't tell me?"

Qin Jue raised his head, looked at her steadily and said, "You said you don't like trash."

"If I can't even solve this little thing, you will only look down on me even more, right?"

Jiang Li found it ridiculous, "So? Your solution is to delay? But you also saw that you can't delay anymore after what happened that day."

"If I hadn't done anything, how were you going to end it?"

Qin Jue pursed his lips and said, "The reason why I delayed was just to show the emperor."

"What do you think he would think if I decisively choose not to listen to him?"

"Only if I was forced into a corner, struggled hard, and finally chose you, would he be able to accept this result."

"Because of this, at least it means that I am still a controllable person and can continue to be the pawn he placed beside you!"

Jiang Li opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but found that he could not find any logical loopholes for a while... Everything seemed to be logically consistent suddenly? ? ?

But when she calmed down again, she realized that there was no proof for this statement except Qin Jue himself... There was no way she could go and ask Emperor Qing, right?

Of course, even if asked, Emperor Qing would definitely not admit it.

So whether or not to believe Qin Jue became her emotional...completely subjective judgment!
