Jiang Li said calmly, "It's not urgent."

After saying that, she suddenly raised her pen and wrote something on the blank paper with a swishing sound. Then she pushed it toward Lu Zhan and said, "Here, let's sign and stamp."

Lu Zhan:? ? ?

He took a few steps closer in confusion, picked up the paper and looked at the contents carefully.

This is a contract, which completely writes down the contents of the transaction between the two people, and even... the time, which is accurate to the hour.

Lu Zhan immediately understood what Jiang Li meant. He was afraid that he would go back on his word and leave evidence.

Apart from anything else, at this time, once this contract is seen by others, they will definitely know that he secretly entered the harem late at night to meet Jiang Li. Needless to say, there will be consequences.

He frowned and his eyes were a little cold, "Is the princess so distrustful of me?"

"I, Lu Zhan, keep my word. Since I have promised you, I will never break my promise. If I sign this contract today, wouldn't it be equivalent to being controlled by others?"

Jiang Li could tell that Lu Zhan was really angry and didn't even claim his humble position.

But she still didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed and retorted confidently, "If you keep your word, I will burn this contract. What do you have to be afraid of?"

"Then how do I know that the princess will keep her word and burn the contract?"

If it was not burned, it would mean that he had leverage in Jiang Li's hands. What if she threatened him again in the future?

Lu Zhan's concerns were normal, so Jiang Li blinked and said, "Then just sign two copies. If you are dissatisfied in the future, you can also take out your share."

"Anyway, if you take this thing out, it won't be difficult for you alone, but won't it also ruin my reputation?"

Lu Zhan: "..."

That means you still have a reputation that can be ruined!

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Li said impatiently, "This won't work, and that won't work either. Otherwise, forget it and leave."

Lu Zhan: "..."

So, he took the risk to enter the palace today just to give her a thousand taels of silver for free?

How shameless!

Lu Zhan was so angry that he took a few deep breaths, but finally resigned himself to picking up a pen and writing his name on the paper.

"Is it okay this time?"

Jiang Li didn't say anything, just pushed the ink pad in front of him.

Lu Zhan: "..."

He is really going to be pissed off by Jiang Li sooner or later!

Holding his breath, he quickly pressed his fingerprints on it again.

When Jiang Li reached for the paper, he suddenly held her hand down and looked at her coldly.

"I hope Princess Changrong understands that although I compromised today, it does not mean that I am really easy to bully. Princess Wanwang should stop it and act in accordance with the agreement in the future."

Lu Zhan was actually a gentle person with a very stable mood. It was rare to be so angry as he was today.

Of course, no matter how fierce he was, he couldn't scare Jiang Li. She still looked at him with a smile, without promising anything. She just asked, "Mr. Lu, my hands... do they feel comfortable to the touch?"

Lu Zhan was stunned for a moment, then realized that his hand was still on hers.

He suddenly raised his head as if he had been burned, half-turned around and said with some embarrassment, "...I am offended by my humble position."

Jiang Li glanced at his rapidly reddening ears and couldn't help teasing him again, "It doesn't matter. Mr. Lu is so good-looking. I don't mind if you offend him a little bit more."

Lu Zhan: "..."

The base of his ears suddenly turned redder.

Fortunately, after Jiang Li put away the contract, he finally got to the point, "Okay, now I can give you some advice on your difficult problem."

As soon as she finished saying this, System No. 007 couldn't help it anymore, "...Host, you don't really want to betray Qin Jue, do you?"

Really life-saving, it feels like an old woman, worrying about Qin Jue's life every day.

After all, Jiang Li was so crazy that even if she stabbed Qin Jue suddenly out of joy, it wouldn't be surprised at all.

However, Jiang Li didn't understand its daily anxiety at all and simply ignored its inquiry.

She looked at Lu Zhan who quickly turned to look at her again, "Master Lu, have you ever thought that there were no assassins entering the palace, but a murder case like this occurred that killed four people at once? This means that... the story behind it must not be true. Simple."

Lu Zhan hesitated for a moment, "What the princess means is..."

"In this harem, if there are many women, there will be more struggles. However, these women are of high status, and even you cannot easily offend them."

"After all, maybe the person you offended is the person that the emperor can't bear to touch. If you find out the truth, maybe it will make the emperor unhappy?"

Lu Zhan frowned, "Of course I know this truth, but the emperor has issued an order. If I don't find out clearly, the emperor will be unhappy."

"So, you need to find out whether it is clear or not, and it is up to my father to decide whether to find out... Do you understand?"

Lu Zhan was thoughtful and somewhat understood what Jiang Li meant.

but……

"Princess Changrong...you are telling me this, could it be that you didn't actually see anything that night?"

Seeing Lu Zhan's suspicious eyes, Jiang Li coughed lightly and drank water tactically, "That's not important. What's important is that I can guide you to complete this errand!"

Lu Zhan opened his mouth to say something, but Jiang Li said first, "Does Mr. Lu know that Luo Bi slipped and fell into the water a few days ago and drowned?"

This sentence immediately diverted Lu Zhan's attention, and he nodded, "Of course I know, but what does it have to do with this matter?"

"Of course." Jiang Li said firmly, "A maid in my mother's harem and one of the dead eunuchs from the Huanyi Bureau used to work in the same palace, so they are old acquaintances."

"The place where Concubine Luo fell into the water is not far from the Huanyi Bureau."

Lu Zhan was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean..."

"I don't mean anything." Jiang Li smiled, "That's all. Mr. Lu is so smart, I thought I would get some clues after a little investigation."

"Of course, this clue doesn't have to be very clear. As long as it has some direction, it's enough for you to present it to Father."

Lu Zhan understood what Jiang Li meant... If Luo Concubine fell into the water and died, and the queen ordered the eunuchs of the Huanyi Bureau to do it secretly, then it would make sense to kill her and silence her afterwards.

And if it was the Queen who took action, even if the Emperor was angry, he would definitely choose to save the Queen. Naturally, the Emperor would not let him pursue this case any further.

In this way, he will not offend anyone, and he has completed the errand given by the emperor!

After wanting to understand the key, Lu Zhan looked at Jiang Li a little differently.

Who would have thought that this Princess Evergreen, under her frivolous and dissolute appearance, actually has such a delicate heart?

Although he was shocked, Lu Zhan was afraid of Jiang Li and did not plan to have any interactions with her in the future, so he was too lazy to think more about her.

Then he cupped his fists and thanked me, "Thank you for your advice, princess."

After saying that, he promised again, "The princess's letter will definitely be delivered to me. It's not early. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
