The palace prison is located by the water, and it is always dark, cold and damp inside.

In this winter season, even if it hasn't snowed yet, the environment must be extremely harsh.

Fortunately, the only one who was imprisoned was Jiang Li. Lan Yin took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, chased her out and gave the palace people some money, and then she was able to give Jiang Li's cloak to her.

Facing Lan Yin's extremely worried look, Jiang Li smiled at her and said, "I'll be fine, don't worry, just wait and see."

Qin Jie did not hesitate to commit suicide to reject Meng Wanwan, so the marriage was destined to fail.

Then the only remaining value of Qin Jue is Jiang Li... It's time to reap the rewards soon. No matter how dissatisfied Emperor Qing is with her actions today, he will not do anything to her at this juncture.

However, he would still put on a show to show off to outsiders, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, so a few days of hardship in the palace prison were unavoidable.

The environment inside the palace prison was as bad as expected. As soon as you entered, a musty smell hit your nose.

It's accompanied by a cold and cold air... Staying here for a few days is indeed a great torture for a person like Jiang Li who has been pampered since childhood.

Fortunately, there were not many people living in this cell. Apart from Jiang Li, there were only two others, and they were each locked in the two cells opposite Jiang Li.

When they saw someone coming, the two people showed no reaction, as if they were dead.

Jiang Li is a princess after all, and now the emperor has imprisoned her in anger, but she will be released one day, so the palace people are still relatively polite to her.

Someone specially cleaned up her cell and put on a new set of bedding. They even thought that it would be inconvenient for her because she was a woman, so they put a screen next to her bed.

For such good treatment, Jiang Li thanked the palace people very politely, looking extremely well-behaved.

Well...if they hadn't seen her attack Qin Jue in the main hall with their own eyes, they would have doubted whether she had been wronged.

It's also strange that there can be people in this world with completely two faces, but they don't feel it's inconsistent.

After Jiang Li entered, he sat on the bed, wrapped in his cloak and was in a daze.

Outsiders looked like she was in a daze, but in fact she was talking to the system.

System No. 007 was so tired that he lost his temper with Jiang Li. His voice was full of exhaustion and even sounded a little pitiful.

"Can you tell me what's going on in your mind? What's in it for you?"

Jiang Li said in a calm voice, "Benefits? I feel happy doing this. Isn't this a benefit?"

System No. 007: "..."

It really doesn't understand Jiang Li. He is usually such a smart person, and he also knows how to calculate gains and losses. He always tries to maximize the benefits in everything he does.

But why do you sometimes ignore it and just want to feel happy?

"Let's take a step back and say, even if you really want to kill Qin Jue, you should have a way, right? Why did you choose the stupidest and most disadvantageous one?"

"Of course it's because it's the most satisfying thing to do." Jiang Li said confidently, "Revenge is time-sensitive, and there is nothing more satisfying than returning it immediately when you are wronged."

"Of course I can plan my revenge later, but by that time I'm not that angry anymore. Even if I kill him, I won't be that happy. What's the point?"

As she spoke, she suddenly laughed, her eyebrows arched, as if she had remembered something interesting.

"Didn't you see the expressions on Meng Wanwan and Meng Yuanzhou's faces at that time? How interesting."

"It's a pity that Qin Jue, a boy who doesn't express his emotions and anger, didn't give me much emotional value, otherwise it would have been more enjoyable."

System No. 007: "..."

Sometimes I really want to call the police, its host really looks like a pervert.

Jiang Li smiled, and his smile gradually faded.

There was deep confusion in her eyes, "Xiao Qi, tell me...why did he do that?"

System No. 007 knew that she was talking about Qin Jue's last act of self-mutilation.

In fact, from Qin Jue's perspective, if he wanted to marry Meng Wanwan to get rid of Jiang Li, he had already succeeded.

In that situation, on one side was the madman Jiang Li who ruined his face, and on the other was Meng Wanwan who said she would never leave him no matter what he became.

Anyone would think that Qin Jue should choose Meng Wanwan.

Even Emperor Qing, who originally didn't want to offend Jiang Li, had sufficient reasons to marry Qin Jue and Meng Wanwan directly.

From the moment Jiang Li took action, she had given up on Qin Jue herself.

Although Jiang Li had already planned to kill someone, from Qin Jue's perspective, he definitely didn't think she would do so.

After all, no one would have thought that she would be so crazy as a normal person.

Qin Jue had obviously won, but when he was about to take the final step, he suddenly stabbed himself to completely ruin his marriage with Meng Wanwan... Why?

This is something Jiang Li has always found confusing and unable to figure out.

Among them, System No. 007 has been thinking about this matter. When it heard Jiang Li ask, it hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Maybe... he never thought about marrying Meng Wanwan?"

Jiang Li was expressionless, "If not, why not refuse directly?"

"Not rejecting is equal to accepting."

"Don't you know that this is what some scumbags do?"

"I don't take the initiative, I don't refuse, and it seems like I haven't done anything extraordinary, but in fact I am clearly enjoying it."

After a pause, Jiang Li said in a low voice, "I hate scumbags the most."

Although she may be a bit of a scumbag, it still doesn't stop her from hating scumbag men.

"Uh..." System No. 007 hesitated, "Maybe he has other reasons?"

"The reason?" Jiang Li smiled, "I never believe in that kind of thing."

“When you really want to do something, no matter how many obstacles there are, you will always find another way.”

"If he said he didn't do something because he had difficulties, it must be because he didn't want to do it that much."

System No. 007: "..."

Jiang Li is indeed a pervert, so calm and objective that he doesn't look like a human being with feelings at all.

But between the two of them, it was clear that it was not a human being, and it shouldn't have emotions!

It was a little discouraged by Jiang Li's rebuke, and after a long while it said feebly: "But besides the reasons I mentioned, are there any other possibilities?"

This time Jiang Li was silent for a long time.

After a while, she said irritably, "...it's precisely because I can't think of any other reason why I asked you. Why would I ask you if I knew?"

System No. 007: "...Holmes said that after eliminating all impossibilities, no matter how unbelievable the rest is, it is the truth."

"Have you ever thought that maybe the truth is the simplest kind..."
