Jiang Li's words suddenly touched upon Lu Zhan's pain points. He frowned slightly, worry flashing in his eyes involuntarily.

Everyone has weaknesses, and the Lu family is Lu Zhan's weakness.

Even if he had known that the situation between the DPRK and China was treacherous, he would have been killed if he accidentally stepped on the wrong foot.

But...who wants to see his family die tragically?

It is true that he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but he also loves his family.

If the king you are loyal to and the country you love cannot tolerate you, then...why should you be so sentimental?

At this moment, Lu Zhan's heart was shaken crazily.

Jiang Li naturally saw that Lu Zhan's heart was a little disturbed, so she kept up her efforts.

"Actually, you can think about it...compared to someone who has disobeyed me and embarrassed me a lot, isn't it better to support your own person in power?"

"Lu Zhan, do you dare to bet that your father will never get any good results from King Jing'an? In the next step, King Jing'an may even attack your Lu family."

Jiang Li's words were like a big stone pressing on Lu Zhan's heart. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Jiang Li closely.

Jiang Li dragged his chin and smiled, "I know it's not easy for someone like you to willingly stand by my side, so I'm not in a hurry for you to give me an answer."

"Let's just wait and King Jing'an... will help you make a decision."

Although things haven't happened yet, Jiang Li's firm tone has already made Lu Zhan feel confused.

There was no need to say anything else at the moment. He stood up in despair, "...Don't worry, I won't tell others about your affairs no matter what."

He couldn't do anything like burning bridges across rivers.

Even if the Lu family still sides with King Jing'an in the end, he will not sell out Jiang Li's plan this time.

Jiang Li was also very relieved about him, smiled and said, "I believe you."

As she said that, she stood up unsteadily, "Let's go, Mr. Lu, I'll see you off."

Lu Zhan was absent-minded at first, but when he heard this, he came to his senses and hurriedly supported her when she staggered two steps forward.

The warm fragrance of soft jade was in his arms, but it was a warmth that he could not covet.

His mind swayed slightly, and when Jiang Li stood firm, Lu Zhan calmly let go of his hand.

"...Princess, there is no need to send her away. You should go to bed early."

At this time, Lan Yin from outside just opened the door and came in, "Princess, the hangover soup has been delivered."

Jiang Li looked at the food box in her hand, then looked behind her, but saw no sign of Qin Jue.

"What about others?"

"The prince gave me the soup and went back to rest."

Jiang Li curled his lips, "One moment I'm extremely jealous, the next moment I'm relieved...man."

As she said that, she raised her chin and signaled to Lan Yin, "Put the soup on the table. You can give it to Mr. Lu for me."

After everyone left, Jiang Li sat down at the table and opened the food box, only to find that there was not only hangover soup, but also a small plate of snacks... Tsk, another snack.

Jiang Li felt that Qin Jue was so stubborn that not even ten cows could match him.

She laughed angrily, stared at the plate of snacks and cursed in a low voice, "Dim sum snacks... what a fool!"

She raised her hand angrily and wanted to throw away the plate of unsightly snacks, but as soon as she picked up the plate, she paused again... Tsk, this snack is so pretty, it would be a pity to throw it away.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Li looked around like a thief to make sure no one was watching, then hesitantly picked up a piece of snack and took a bite.

It's soft and waxy in the mouth, sweet and delicious, actually...it's quite delicious?

Unlike the sweetness you imagined, this snack is sweet but not greasy, with just the right amount of sweetness.

She couldn't hold it back and ate the snack in a few mouthfuls, and then took a sip of the hangover soup cooked with pears...it was really good!

Before I knew it, this small plate of snacks was all eaten with the hangover soup.

Jiang Li touched his belly with satisfaction, and couldn't help but think... This Qin Jue is not useless.

After a night of drunkenness, Jiang Li got up a little late the next day.

While washing, she thought of the snack last night and asked, "Where is Qin Jue?"

"Your Majesty was called into the palace by the Emperor early in the morning."

Although Qin Jue was granted the title of king, he had no other practical errands except for cooperating with the Ministry of Rites to receive the Liang delegation last time.

If the reception was well handled, Emperor Qing might be able to arrange some free time for him by giving him a reward.

But what happened that time... Not to mention the reception was good, it's good that Emperor Qing didn't blame him.

In addition, because of his injury, he has been so free, and does not have to go to morning court, so he has nothing to do every day.

So today the emperor specially asked him to go to the palace, so there must be something important.

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It seems that the wedding is coming soon."

She and Qin Jue had such a quarrel, and now they were completely bound. There was really no point in delaying the marriage like this.

Because I had to deal with the prince's party before, I had too many things to worry about here. Now that I have some free time, shouldn't it be time to start working on their affairs?

This military power has to be in my own hands to feel at ease. The nights are long and the dreams are many.

Although she had long known that such a day would come, Lan Yin was still a little confused when she heard it. She said "Ah" before saying, "Then...is there anything we need to prepare?"

"what to prepare?"

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows and said, "The emperor wants to grant a marriage, so naturally he has to prepare it. We can just sit back and wait."

"After all, getting married is just a matter of changing your identity and living in the palace."

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Emperor Qing finished writing the last word, put down the brush in his hand, and then looked up at Qin Jue, who had been drying for a long time.

Although he grew up in a cold palace and had no upbringing, this time we met again, there were already more rules than last time.

Come to think of it, I have studied it carefully.

After waiting for him for a long time, there was no obvious anxiety on his face. He was quite patient, which was good.

Sensing Emperor Qing's gaze, Qin Jue stood up and saluted, "Father."

Emperor Qing said "hmm" and said, "Have you and Ali been getting along well lately?"

"It's good." Qin Jue said, "After what happened last time, the princess feels guilty for me and treats me much better. She won't refuse even if I ask for many things."

Hearing this, Emperor Qing showed a look of satisfaction on his face, "It seems that the bitter meat trick still works, but it's a pity for your face..."

Thinking of Jiang Li's ruthlessness, Emperor Qing frowned in disgust, "It's hard on you to ask you to marry such a woman."

Qin Jue said expressionlessly, "If I can share my father's worries, my sons and ministers will not suffer."

"Good boy, don't worry, it's just a temporary inconvenience. Once you have established a firm foothold in the Flame Army and you ask her to give you a son and a half, she will be useless."

"At that time, my father will definitely compensate you well and remarry you to a virtuous and virtuous woman as your princess."

Qin Jue pretended to be surprised and saluted, "I thank you, my father!"

He lowered his head, but there was a disdainful sneer on the corner of his mouth... Hehe, do you really think he is a fool for drawing such a cake?
