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

The two maids were still hesitating and had not made a decision, but when they saw Qin Xiang during dinner time, she made her decision first.

She said to the two of them solemnly: "I have something to discuss with you."

Both of them were a little surprised, then looked at each other, but both breathed a sigh of relief.

Their task is very difficult. If Qin Xiang can be of the same mind as them, it will be the best.

Although they didn't know the specific content of Meng Yuanzhou's conversation with her, the two of them could probably guess the direction after thinking about it.

At this time, both of them chose to pretend to be stupid in a tacit understanding. They looked at Qin Xiang in surprise and said, "What do you want to say to the third princess?"

Qin Xiang pursed his lips slightly, and then chose to tell the two people everything Meng Yuanzhou said.

After hearing this, the two of them were still a little surprised, because in their opinion, the conditions offered by Meng Yuanzhou were indeed good, but Qin Xiang only hesitated for less than half a day before making a decision?

One of them couldn't help but ask, "The third princess has thought about it. Are you really not ready to cooperate with Meng Yuanzhou?"

"Actually, he's right. Even we can't completely guarantee that we can keep you right now."

Qin Xiang twitched the corners of his mouth, and a slightly self-deprecating smile appeared on his pale face.

"I have been competing with Jiang Li and Qin Chu all my life, but in the end I couldn't compare with anyone."

"In the eyes of the Qing people, I am just a dispensable princess, but if I think so myself, wouldn't I be too sad?"

Qin Xiang stared into the maid's eyes, "I don't want to be a dispensable person. I am the princess of the Qing Kingdom and I have to be that until my death."

"Even if I die, I still want everyone to remember me. What's more, my father and mother both died as heroes. As a daughter, I can't end up becoming a traitor, right?"

"Maybe if I follow Meng Yuanzhou, I will live a better life... But I, Qin Xiang, also have my own pride."

"I chose to miss once in front of Jiang Li. This time... I won't make the mistake again."

The maid looked at Qin Xiang in surprise. It was only at this moment that this person seemed to become truly three-dimensional and vivid in her eyes.

As a Qingguo native, she is also sincerely willing to call the other party princess.

She smiled softly, then nodded, "It's good that the third princess can figure it out herself."

"We two sisters cannot guarantee that we will be able to bring you back alive, but we can at least guarantee... that we will live and die with you."

"And if the third princess really fails to go back, I believe that Princess Changrong will at least not let you die quietly."

"At that time, everyone will know why you died, and you will still be the hero of Qingguo."

Qin Xiang's eyes were slightly red. She took a deep look at the two of them, her lips trembled slightly, and she choked out two words, "...Thank you."

Maybe these are just empty words, but they are her greatest comfort now.

Then she took a deep breath and said: "Although I will not agree to Meng Yuanzhou's conditions, I think... this may be an opportunity for us."

The maid smiled slightly, "The third princess is right, this is our best chance..."

After Jiang Li sent away the Lieyan Army that day, Qin Jue kept her promise and allowed her to bury Lu Zhan in person.

Jiang Li chose a place with beautiful scenery and buried him with handfuls of earth one after another.

There was nothing else written on the inscription, only Lu Zhan's name.

At the end, Jiang Li sat in front of Lu Zhan's grave, drank a pot of wine with him, and talked a lot.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't change your fate in the end, and even caused you to die a few years earlier than your original fate."

"You said you don't regret saving me, so I believe you don't regret it."

"Then...I won't let you regret it either."

"Lu Zhan, I don't know what kind of feelings you have for me, but no matter what kind of love it is, whether it is a king or a minister, a man or a woman, I feel your love."

"You made me sure that I am worthy of being loved, so from now on...if no one loves me, I will love myself well."

"The next time I come to see you... it will be when I have sorted everything out."

"Lu Zhan, thank you for coming to my world. I am very happy to meet you."

"But if there is an afterlife... I hope you won't meet me again."

After burying Lu Zhan, Jiang Li returned to the mansion. He was still surrounded by people when he came in and out, but he was a little more free than before.

The only thing that annoyed her a little was that Qin Jue came to see her every day.

"You have to run to me every day, are you free?"

Even if he has the imperial order and the support of General Lei Xingjun, it shouldn't be easy to completely conquer these people, right? How come you have time to hang out in front of her every day?

Qin Jue looked at her, "I'm not busy, but I'll feel uneasy if I can't see you."

After a pause, he suddenly said: "But you reminded me that running back and forth every day does waste some time."

Jiang Li frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling, "So?"

Qin Jue smiled at her but said nothing.

After a few days, Jiang Li knew what he meant.

Looking at the exquisite and huge birdcage in front of her, she laughed angrily.

"So, do you plan to keep me in a bird cage just like a canary, and put it in your house for you to watch every day?"

Qin Jue looked at her tenderly, "I want to keep you by my side, so I have to do something."

"I know your temperament. If you keep it like this, you will have problems sooner or later... So, I still have to keep you under my eyes every day, so that I will feel at ease."

As he said that, he raised his hand and gently touched her face, "Ali, I'll aggrieve you for a few days, okay?"

"Okay, very good!" What else could Jiang Li say? Qin Jue has completely changed.

Even if she refuses to object, it will have no effect, so why bother talking?

On the third day after Jiang Li lived in this huge birdcage and lived a life without any privacy, she finally returned to Qin Xiang.

It is said that she escaped back to the gate of Ningcheng alone on a horse, covered in blood and in a state of extreme embarrassment.

As soon as he got off the horse, he fainted.

Thanks to her passing through Ningcheng before, many people here still remember the third princess who went to Liang Kingdom to get married.

Since the war with Liang Kingdom, everyone has almost forgotten that such a person exists. Even if they remember, they mostly assume that she has died in Liang Kingdom.

But unexpectedly, not only was she not dead, she also escaped alone.

Because she knew her brother-sister relationship with Qin Jue, she was immediately sent to Qin Jue.

When Qin Jue heard that his servants had come to report, he just said with a cold face, "Please hire a doctor for her."

Other than that, I have no intention of going over and taking a look.

It was Jiang Li who leaned comfortably on the bed in the cage and said in a cool tone, "You'd better go over and take a look, at least make sure she's okay."

"Because the defense plan of Mucheng City that I mentioned rests on her."
