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

Qin Jue looked at Jiang Li's expression carefully, and it didn't seem like he was mocking.

And to say it was because she was being sarcastic and jealous...she didn't seem to bother doing it.

So after thinking about it for a while, Qin Jue calmly agreed, "I really should go and express my condolences about what happened at Prince Jing'an today. Since you're fine, I'll leave first."

Although Jiang Li had only been to Donglin Prince's Mansion once, everyone in the house was definitely impressed by her, not to mention that she had sent many of them from the Jiang family.

So even if Qin Jie is not here, the rest of the people are very obedient and help her make clear arrangements and take care of her absolutely properly.

It wasn't until she returned to the room that Lan Yin couldn't help but say, "The prince really left like this...Aren't you angry, princess?"

Jiang Li said calmly, "Don't be angry. If he stays, he will only delay me."

After a pause, she looked at Lan Yin, "I didn't have a chance to ask before. Did you make up the tarsal bone fragrance you mentioned or is it real?"

Speaking of this, Lan Yin seemed a little proud, "I didn't originally have it, but I grabbed the princess's hand and it naturally happened."

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, "Did you put poison on your hands?"

Lan Yin nodded, "I happened to think that I had such an opportunity, so I took matters into my own hands... But don't worry, princess, I did it properly, and the princess will definitely not find anything wrong."

"I also specially kept the water for washing my hands. If the princess still has doubts later, she can feed the water to birds, mice and the like. Once she tries it, she will know that it is really poisonous."

Jiang Li had mentioned his plan to Lan Yin before, so Lan Yin knew that Jiang Li wanted to let King Jing'an and others deal with the queen.

Of course, just being an assassin is enough, but deliberately framing the princess and poisoning Jiang Li will undoubtedly aggravate the conflict.

"Moreover, this tarsal bone incense is produced in the southwest and is relatively rare in the capital. The queen's brother is an official in the southwest. King Jing'an can find out if he checks it."

Jiang Li nodded, "You reacted quickly and did a good job."

"But why do you happen to have this poison on you?"

Lan Yin said calmly, "My hometown is in the southwest, so I know how to prepare tarsus incense. I was worried about the princess's safety after what happened today, so I brought some with me, thinking what if I could use it?"

"So that's it." Jiang Li smiled at her, "You did a good job, but don't make your own decisions next time, otherwise any deviation will bring me trouble."

Lan Yin suddenly panicked and hurriedly knelt down and said, "It's my subordinate's fault... I shouldn't have made my own decisions!"

Jiang Li gently helped her up, "I don't mean to blame you, in fact you did a really good job this time."

"It's just that I prefer to have everything under control. If you make your own decisions next time, I'm worried that it will affect my work."

Lan Yin lowered her head guiltily, "I'm sorry, if there is a next time, I'm willing to die to apologize!"

Jiang Li: "..."

Not really.

So that's what was bad about ancient people. People who were too loyal were always going to die or live. She said she didn't blame her, didn't she?

After comforting Lan Yin for a few more words, Jiang Li said, "Go and take out the things I bought last time. I want to take a closer look."

Lan Yin was stunned, "Ah? Princess, don't you want to rest for a while first?"

"I took the opportunity to stay outside the palace, not to rest."

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and said, "No matter what you do, financial resources are essential."

"So, going into business is the only way to go."

Lan Yin didn't quite understand the connection between being in business and the little things she bought last time, but she still obeyed her orders.

Jiang Li wrote two more letters and gave them to Lan Yin, "one to Lin Qiyuan and one to Jun Song."

"After confirming their loyalty, it's time to try their abilities."

Lan Yin took the order and left, while Jiang Li studied all the things he bought.

If you want to do business, you must first understand the current market. Necessary research is indispensable.

It is really not easy for this self-made man to rebel.

While busy, time passed unknowingly. Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Jue still didn't come back.

But Jiang Li was waiting for another person.

"who?"

Jiang Li was tired from working all afternoon. He just stretched out and wanted to go out to eat something when he heard Lan Yin's scolding from outside the door, followed by the sound of some fighting.

What's going on? Is there another assassin?

Just as Jiang Li thought this, the sounds outside suddenly stopped, and then Lan Yin came over and knocked on the door, lowering her voice and saying, "Princess, this is Lord Lu Zhanlu."

Um? He came so soon?

Although he had said before that he would come back to her some time, she really didn't expect that he would be so impatient.

But yes, no one will be happy if someone plots against them, and naturally they can't sit still.

Thinking about it, she said, "Let him come in."

Lu Zhan pushed open the door and walked to Jiang Li. He bent down and saluted her, "I'm sorry for visiting you at night, princess."

Jiang Li waved his hand indifferently. Thinking that he had just been regarded as an assassin by Lan Yin, he said clearly, "You came in over the wall?"

Lu Zhan coughed lightly and apologized again, "I know it's not appropriate for others to find out that I came to see the princess, so I had no choice but to make this move..."

Jiang Li waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, you did the right thing."

After the Queen's people were caught, they would tell the truth and give Lu Zhan an explanation.

At this time, if anyone knew that Lu Zhan had come to see her alone, it would be easy to be suspected, so keeping it secret was the most appropriate thing.

Seeing that Jiang Li was not angry, Lu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "What happened today?"

Jiang Li said very directly, "Isn't it obvious? Someone wants to slander you and me and ask me to marry you."

Lu Zhan was completely incomprehensible, "But...but why? I have thought a lot this afternoon, and I have guessed this, but I just can't figure out who wants to do this, and what good will it do to him?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Lanyu is in the same group as those people, and she... is the Queen's employee."

Lu Zhan was immediately shocked, "Queen? I have no enmity with her, why is she..."

He paused mid-sentence, "Is it because I found out about Luo Bin last time, so she wants revenge?"

"But that doesn't make sense. Even if she succeeds, apart from getting the two of us married and being laughed at and despised, there seems to be nothing else that can be considered revenge?"

Jiang Li shook his head and looked at Lu Zhan with an expression that looked like a fool, "Master Lu is good at martial arts, why is he so stupid?"

She looked at Lu Zhan seriously and said, "Don't forget, your father is the Minister of War, and the one standing behind me is the Lieyan Army. Do you think... will the Emperor be willing to see us two get married?"
