Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains

Jiang Li's smile seemed a little careless, "It's just an emperor's art of balancing power, nothing unusual."

"But it is not certain that the prince will ever be able to make a comeback. If Emperor Qing still wanted to keep him, he would not have killed the queen so decisively."

It can be said that the only role of the prince now is to beat King Jing'an when he is too aggressive.

Let him know that he is not the prince yet, and it is Emperor Qing who has to decide who can take over the country.

Lan Yin didn't understand the twists and turns of the royal power struggle before, but now she has learned a lot through her ears and eyes, but she still feels scared in her heart.

Born into a royal family, he really has no feelings of flesh and blood, and only has calculations of interests!

Of course, it doesn't mean that they are wrong in doing so, because Lan Yin also knows very well that if she wants to be stable, she can't avoid those twists and turns.

This is a life-and-death war without gunpowder.

The prince was grounded, but the emperor did not immediately restore his real power.

In addition, the forces behind him have all fallen, and those who used to follow him have either been demoted or released, or have switched to King Jing'an.

Now he really became a loner.

Such a blow left him unable to recover. Even after he was released, he still drank to drown his sorrows every day, sitting in the East Palace just dreaming of life and death.

Even Jiang Li thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would be here.

But what she didn't expect was that when she got up that day, she heard Lan Yin say to her, "Princess, guess what happened in the East Palace last night?"

What could happen in the East Palace? Jiang Li said nonchalantly, "Could it be that the prince finally couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide?"

After saying that, Lan Yin shook her head and denied it before she could answer, "Probably not. If he had the courage, he would have gone with his mother more than a month ago. There is no need to wait until now."

The corner of Lan Yin's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that her princess' mouth was really damaging if she didn't say anything else.

Afraid of hearing some unbelievable speculation from Jiang Li again, Lan Yin immediately stopped her stupid act of asking her to guess.

She said honestly: "Yesterday evening, the prince called a group of dancing girls to get drunk in the East Palace, but the fourth princess suddenly barged in with someone without any explanation."

Jiang Li was slightly surprised, "Qin Chu?"

Lan Yin nodded, "When the fourth princess entered the East Palace, she couldn't help but smash them and drove all the dancing girls out. I heard that the prince's face turned green with anger."

Hearing this, Jiang Li was really interested, "What then?"

"Then I heard that the prince made a big fuss, but the fourth princess had the door closed. She didn't know what she said to the prince in the room. Anyway, she left at night."

"After the fourth princess left, I heard that the prince stayed up all night. Early the next morning, he pushed out the door amidst all the anxious palace people. Then he dismissed all the dancing girls and ordered people to seal up all the wine."

Lan Yin said with gusto, "Princess, do you think this East Palace can be saved?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "This Qin Chu still has something, the prince is actually not as good as his fifteen-year-old girl."

"You're right. There may be a glimmer of hope in the East Palace, but it's just a glimmer of hope... It's too difficult to rely on this to make a comeback."

After saying this, Jiang Li was a little excited, "Suddenly I feel a little reluctant to leave the capital so soon."

"If the prince didn't die in silence, he should have exploded in silence. He was woken up by Qin Chu's scolding, and his subsequent counterattack by King Jing'an must have been crazy and fatal."

"It would be difficult for him to bite King Jing'an to death, but you can still peel him off. It's interesting."

Listening to what Jiang Li said, Lan Yin knew that in her opinion, whether the prince was decadent or fighting back, it should not affect them.

So Lan Yin stopped worrying and just sighed, "It seems that everyone underestimated the fourth princess before."

It's hard to believe that someone who had the courage to smash the East Palace to wake up the prince had collapsed just a few days ago because of Jiang Li's refusal to help.

Jiang Li thought for a while and asked again, "Where is Qin Xiang? What has she been up to recently?"

Lan Yin said, "Since the queen's downfall, the third princess has moved around more with Concubine Yao, and she often makes things with her own hands to send to the emperor."

"After the prince was released, she didn't seem to have any intention of getting close to the East Palace anymore. I'm afraid she won't have anything to do with the East Palace in the future."

Jiang Li chuckled, "She is really realistic."

It can be seen that in the past, there was no real affection for the queen in trying to please her. From the beginning to the end, it was just a desire to hug her.

As soon as the queen fell, she immediately made the decision to hug Concubine Yao and the emperor's thighs.

Although it was disgusting, it did make her feel better.

It's just... Jiang Li remembered what she once said to Qin Xiang, it's better to rely on yourself than to ask for help. Now it seems that she didn't listen to a word, and she is determined to take this road of hugging her thigh to the end.

Qin Xiang and Qin Chu took two completely different paths. Jiang Li suddenly became curious... He didn't know who would have a better ending among them?

From that day on, when Jiang Li heard Lan Yin talk about the news about the East Palace, it was all about how the prince was filial and virtuous and how he made Emperor Qing happy.

By the end of the year, Emperor Qing had already handed over some matters to the prince.

This incident naturally made King Jing'an so angry that once he couldn't hold back a few sarcastic remarks and was scolded by Emperor Qing.

After he returned, he didn't know whether he had figured it out or someone had given him advice, but he felt more at ease.

On New Year's Eve, the palace became lively again.

Various royal relatives were walking around the palace, and Yang Jin also made a special trip to visit Jiang Li.

"I came here today to tell you that Uncle Yang probably won't be able to attend your wedding banquet."

Jiang Li was a little surprised, "Did something happen at the border?"

Yang Jin nodded, "It's not a big deal. I just heard that a group of bandits suddenly came and made a lot of noise there."

"The local government couldn't catch anyone, so they had no choice but to get help from the Flame Army. But since I wasn't here, the manpower they could mobilize was limited. Even after working hard for a while, they couldn't catch anyone."

"There is nothing we can do. This is related to the safety of the people. It is not good to delay it any longer."

Jiang Li nodded clearly, "What Uncle Yang said is that the safety of the people is more important. Just go back and don't worry about me."

"After all, we just get married and there won't be any big trouble."

Yang Jin felt a little helpless when he heard this, "It's unlucky to say that Chaos is unlucky. I'm just a little regretful that I can't see you getting married in person."

Jiang Li blinked, "If you want to see it, when Qin Jue and I return to the fiefdom, can we get married again and show it to you?"

"If you don't think it's new anymore, I can show you another person to get married."

Yang Jin: "..."
