Jiang Li muttered, but he held the small porcelain bottle he got from Luo Qing tightly in his hand. He turned around and said, "Lanyin, please go back first. I'll take a look at him."

Jiang Li knocked on the door and waited patiently for a while this time, not in a hurry to knock again.

After a while, she saw Qin Jue opening the door and standing in front of her.

He was wearing underwear, with only a loose coat on the outside.

Looking at Jiang Li, he greeted her as usual, "Come back so late? Do you want to come in and sit down?"

Jiang Li looked past him and glanced inside. All the pens and books on the desk had been put away. Looking at his appearance, he seemed to be getting ready to sleep.

So she knew it and had no intention of going in. She just handed the ointment to Qin Jue and said, "Apply it to the wound three times a day. Once you finish one bottle, there will be no scars on your face."

Qin Jue glanced at the medicine bottle stuffed in the palm of his hand with some surprise, "I heard from the imperial doctor that there will definitely be scars on my face. There is no way."

The implication is that she no longer believes Jiang Li's words, and may even suspect that she is lying.

Jiang Li was not happy, and said with a half-smile, "Use it if you like, and you don't have to become ugly in the future. Don't blame me for abandoning your rotten husband."

【As expected, he only looks cute when he does that. 】

[No one who is a straight man speaks like this, bah! 】

Qin Jue: "..."

Being able to hear Jiang Li's inner voice really made him get scolded a lot more for nothing.

Otherwise, Jiang Li is actually quite decent, and the words he really curses are usually not so heartbreaking.

But that’s not necessarily what I’m thinking.

After Jiang Li said that, he didn't bother to talk to Qin Jue anymore, turned around and went back to the house.

And Qin Jue had no intention of asking him to stay. He just watched Jiang Li leave before closing the door again.

After turning around and walking a few steps, a person appeared from behind his bed.

If Jiang Li saw it, he would definitely be surprised, because the person who appeared in Qin Jue's room in the middle of the night... was actually Meng Yuanzhou.

Looking at the medicine bottle in Qin Jue's hand, Meng Yuanzhou had a smile on his lips and said, "Qing'er gave her this medicine. It's very effective. It's better for you to be obedient and use it."

"Originally, I was a little worried about whether the outcome of Qing'er's negotiation with her would be as we wished. Now that she's back with this medicine, everything must be going well."

Qin Jue's expression remained calm. After hearing this, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Meng Yuanzhou, "I don't think so."

Meng Yuanzhou was slightly startled, "What do you mean?"

"If, as you said, she suffered a blow from Ms. Xiao, then even if she gets the medicine, she will be in a bad mood. I'm afraid she won't be in the mood to bring the medicine to me in person when she comes back."

Qin Jie knew Jiang Li better than Meng Yuanzhou, and he said with great certainty at this time, "She is not a generous person."

Meng Yuanzhou frowned slightly, actually doubting Qin Jue's words.

They hold Jiang Li in their hands. No matter how crazy she is, as long as she doesn't want to die, Luo Qing will not lose.

But Qin Jue was indeed sure... He shook his head and stopped trying to get into trouble. Anyway, he knew everything after meeting Luo Qing when he went back.

Thinking that Jiang Li was back, he couldn't stay any longer to avoid being discovered.

So then he took out a piece of jade pendant and gave it to Qin Jue, "Then, we've settled everything. When you arrive in Donglin County, just ask someone to find me with the jade pendant when you need it."

Qin Jue took the jade pendant in his hand, looked at it, and said something meaningful, "You believe me... aren't you afraid that I will burn the bridge when I cross the river?"

Meng Yuanzhou smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as we support you, I believe everything in the Qing Kingdom will be fine."

"If there is a day when we really have to fight each other, then everyone will have to rely on their own abilities... I don't think I will lose."

Qin Jue's dark eyes looked at Meng Yuanzhou, as if he thought of something, he twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled, "You do have the capital to be confident."

After all, this is the male protagonist who unified the world in that so-called book.

It's a pity that everything is different now... and he will not lose.

Meng Yuanzhou left quickly. Qin Jue, wrapped in his clothes, sat by the bed and stared at the candlelight on the table for a long time.

He didn't know if cooperating with Meng Yuanzhou was the right thing to do. After all, he was colluding with foreign enemies and seeking skin from tigers... If he wasn't careful, he might bury the entire Qing Kingdom.

But at the palace banquet half a month ago, he really needed Meng Yuanzhou's cooperation.

If the two of them had not reached a deal, I am afraid that Meng Yuanzhou would not have rashly proposed marriage in the main hall.

After all, Meng Wanwan's reputation is at stake. Once rejected, Meng Wanwan will lose her reputation.

Although it is in Qingguo, who knows whether it will spread back to Liangguo?

Meng Yuanzhou would not gamble on his sister's reputation.

So in order to make this scene exciting and beautiful enough for him to completely gain Jiang Li's trust and have more freedom to make his own arrangements, he could only choose to cooperate with Meng Yuanzhou.

And once this cooperation begins, it doesn't end just as soon as it's over.

If Meng Yuanzhou told her that he had deceived Jiang Li, then no need to think too much, Jiang Li would definitely kill him with great pleasure.

Thinking about it, Qin Jue squeezed the jade pendant in his hand and finally put it into the secret compartment beside the bed.

He didn't know who lived here before, but he also accidentally discovered this secret compartment, which happened to come in handy.

Otherwise... surrounded by Jiang Li's people, I'm afraid he won't be able to hide any secrets.

Speaking of Meng Yuanzhou, because of Qin Jue's words, he was always thinking about the outcome of Luo Qing's side.

I hurried back to the inn, not caring that it was already midnight, so I climbed out of the window in the dark.

Fortunately, Luo Qing couldn't sleep because she had something on her mind, otherwise she would have had to beat Meng Yuanzhou as a thief.

"What? You said she knows all your secrets?"

Meng Yuanzhou was also shocked and in disbelief when he heard Luo Qing tell what happened.

He frowned, and his eyes were full of confusion, "She is far away in Qingguo, and I heard that she rarely leaves the palace on weekdays. How on earth does she know about our Liangguo affairs, and how does she know so clearly?"

Luo Qing shook her head with a wry smile, "If I had known, I wouldn't be still here unable to sleep."

She looked at Meng Yuanzhou worriedly and said, "You said... she might be a disaster if she stays here. Should we..."

"No!" Meng Yuanzhou said firmly, "The fact that she knows this means there are many people standing behind her!"

"If we take action, even if we can kill her, the forces behind her will never give up."

"If we can't kill her at all, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from her. With her temper, I'm afraid she will have to fight to the death with us."

He had no doubt about this, after all, Qin Jue's fate was right in front of them.

A woman who can be cruel to the person she likes without hesitation, can she still be expected to be hesitant and not dare to take revenge?
