Looking at Qin Jue's ugly face, Jiang Li said with a determined smile: "You are indeed capable of surviving in the hands of those people, but you are still far behind now."

"Qin Jue, you not only need me to keep your secrets, but you also need me to put the finishing touches on it for you."

"Admit it, you are not strong enough to walk on your own now, and the only person you can rely on... is me."

Qin Jue clenched and unclenched his fingers, filled with unwillingness and anger, but was so weak in front of Jiang Li that he couldn't even fight back.

In the end, he didn't say anything, just silently unbuttoned his clothes.

To be honest, when Jiang Li looked at him like this, he just felt like a bully who forced girls into prostitution.

She suddenly lost interest, then stood up and said, "Okay, if you don't want to take it off, just forget it, I'm not forcing you."

As she spoke, she walked out of the house. When she passed by Qin Jue, he suddenly grabbed her arm.

"...I don't want to, it's just that there are too many wounds on my body, which are too ugly... If you want me, wait until I recover later, okay?"

Jiang Li was slightly surprised when he suddenly softened his tone.

Turning back to meet his eyes, she couldn't help but show a hint of interest in her eyes.

[I can bend and stretch, and I have made great progress now. 】

[Hmm... Even though I don't mean it, what I want is not true in the first place. If someone with such a strong self-esteem is willing to do this to coax me, I can't ask for too much, can I? 】

Qin Jue's body froze slightly, knowing that she had been seen through, but luckily she didn't care.

Pursing his lips slightly, he looked at Jiang Li and tried his best to show a pitiful expression, "Jiang Li... help me."

A smile appeared on Jiang Li's face, and he raised his hand and patted his head gently, "Yes, I like this expression very much. I can practice it again when I go back and try to make it more natural next time."

Qin Jue pursed his lips hard and said nothing.

Jiang Li turned around and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of the aftermath of this matter."

"Lanyin, bring him his things to see off the guests."

[Hey, why does everyone regard me as a female gangster? But I just wanted to see how much damage he suffered last night. It was just like me asking the Overlord to force his bow, which was unlucky. 】

Qin Jue: "..."

Since it was a misunderstanding, why didn't you make it clear earlier? ? ?

For a moment, he just felt that his inner struggle and unwillingness had become a joke.

She... definitely did it on purpose!

Shortly after Qin Jue left, Lan Yin came to Jiang Li who was basking in the sun in the yard.

"Princess, he didn't go very far before he threw all the things you gave him into the grass, but my slave picked them up."

Jiang Li was not surprised, "Well, then just put it away."

She was submissive on the surface, but she was angry inside, so she could only vent out what she gave her. She understood.

It doesn't matter, if he loses his stuff anyway, he will be the one who suffers in the end.

"Let's go to the study to copy the female commandments."

Lan Yin followed and entered the study before she couldn't help but say, "Princess, General Yang will arrive in the capital today, and the emperor will hold a palace banquet in the evening."

"Now that you have been punished by the Queen and banned from all walks of life, wouldn't the dinner be..."

Jiang Li nodded, "Well, I can't go."

Lan Yin suddenly became anxious, "If that's the case, wouldn't all your hard-earned tricks be in vain?"

Jiang Li chuckled, "How could it be? Just because we can't get out doesn't mean General Yang can't get in."

"It's time to use the chess pieces I laid down in the past two days."

at night.

Lu Zhan stood in front of the gate of Jinghe Palace, with a tangled look on his face.

After a whole day, there was still no clue to this murder case.

Because it happened in the palace, everyone is the master. Without evidence, he dare not offend anyone, so he is in a difficult situation.

After going round and round until the end, Jiang Li is still the only clue.

——Although he didn't know whether what she said was true, he really didn't dare to let it go easily.

He brought someone here once during the day, but he couldn't even get through the gate.

It was Lan Yin who came out to deliver the message. She only said that the queen had ordered the princess to be grounded so that she would not be able to see guests.

But after saying that, Lan Yin glanced at Lu Zhan and said meaningfully, "The princess also said that it is cold at night, so Master Lu should wear more clothes if he goes out at night."

Lu Zhan is not stupid either, this sentence is full of implications.

He shouldn't be on duty tonight, and he shouldn't be allowed to enter the inner palace.

But at any rate, with a background like his father's, it wouldn't be a problem to have a Toto relationship, as long as the superiors don't find out.

Knowing the patrol route well, he easily avoided the patrolling guards and came to the gate of Jinghe Palace.

But when he really stood here, he hesitated... Once he entered, even if nothing happened, it would be difficult for him to tell clearly if Jiang Li threatened him.

And if he comes at night and says that he is not here to sacrifice himself, will anyone believe him?

After hesitating again and again, seeing that the patrolling guards would be here if he didn't go in, he finally made up his mind and prepared to knock on the door.

But before there was a knock, the door opened by itself.

Lan Yin stood inside the door and glanced at Lu Zhan, "I thought Mr. Lu would still hesitate for a while."

Lu Zhan: "..."

He suddenly felt embarrassed and realized that Lan Yin might have noticed that he was coming and was just standing inside the door waiting for him to make a decision.

For a moment, he looked embarrassed, "I..."

She wanted to explain, but Lan Yin had already turned around, "The princess is waiting for you, just follow me."

Lu Zhan had no choice but to shut up and follow Lan Yin forward.

He felt uneasy, a little worried that Lan Yin would take him directly to Jiang Li's boudoir.

But luckily... it's not a boudoir, but a study.

When he entered, Jiang Li was sitting in front of the desk writing something.

He didn't look up when he heard the noise, and just said lightly, "Come and sit."

Jiang Li at this time was a little different from what he had remembered before. There was no makeup on his face, but the haggard look he had during the day was gone.

Even the redness and swelling on her face had faded a lot, revealing her original beauty.

In fact, Lu Zhan had always known that Jiang Li was extremely beautiful, but... when he saw her tonight, it seemed a little different.

He walked over and sat down on the chair opposite Jiang Li, while Lan Yin closed the door and stood guard outside the room.

The room became quiet for a moment, except for the slight sound she made while writing.

Lu Zhan couldn't help but glance at the words she wrote. It seemed to be... a female commandment.

He couldn't help but look at Jiang Li, and felt that it was absurd and ironic that she was copying the female commandments in this situation.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Jiang Li put down the brush in his hand.

Looking up, she met Lu Zhan's eyes and smiled softly, "Master Lu came a little later than I thought."

Lu Zhan hurriedly looked away and replied cautiously, "Today's palace banquet, there are many people in the palace, so if you come too early, you will easily be caught."

Jiang Li nodded, "Since Mr. Lu is here, you must have already decided to make this deal with me?"

The expression on Lu Zhan's face suddenly became stiff...
