An assassin who has completed a mission and has not been assigned any other tasks can start a short vacation in Qianqi Tower.

This is the situation at noon now.

No one told him that the person he met at night was the poster. He was just curious about the special sense of mystery, but he could never imagine that it was Shi Li.

Since no new tasks were assigned to him, his daily actions were not restricted. He could continue to lurk secretly near Rao Ji Fu Zheng and carry out his so-called "protection" operations.

Hundreds of years later, this kind of behavior is still often regarded as perverted behavior.

But he himself didn't feel that way.

Shi Li was a little worried about Master Fei's affairs.

She was not willing to be the queen of Yan State, nor could she do that. But now Prince Fei was ambitious, and if she refused to cooperate or made excuses, it would seem like she was going to make an enemy of him.

Whether he takes over Yan Kingdom in the future or the prince can rise again, it is not good news for Shi Li and Qianqilou.

So, what is the best outcome?

Shi Li thought about it over and over again, and sorted out the relationships among the royal family of Yan State over and over again, and finally thought of one person.

"Check where Princess Zhiyan is now?" She gave instructions and then waited for the result.

Since Princess Zhiyan had anticipated her situation and prepared a drug to fake her death, she definitely wasn't really dead. I just don't know where she's hiding now.

Qianqi Tower had spies everywhere, and in less than two hours, they not only found out where Zhiyan was, but also brought her directly to Shili.

Shi Li did not meet her as the host of the post, but simply disguised himself into two different faces and then met Zhi Yan alone.

After she faked her death and escaped from the palace, she did not leave immediately, but hid secretly.

This time, he was suddenly found by Shi Li's men and was very scared, but he felt relieved when he knew that it was Qianqilou who found him.

"Princess, please sit down." Shi Li looked at the once proud princess who was now wearing plain clothes and a straw hairpin. He did not think she was in a state of humiliation and still asked her to sit down.

Zhiyan didn't refuse politely and sat down directly.

Shi Li invited her to have tea again, and she accepted the invitation.

After half a cup of tea was finished, Shi Li asked slowly, "I wonder what plans the princess has for the future?"

She never liked to beat around the bush, and she looked at Zhiyan with a teacup in one hand.

Zhiyan frowned and did not answer immediately, obviously also worried about her future.

In this way, Shi Li had another plan in mind.

If Zhiyan wanted to hide her identity after faking her death, she would have left by now. But she didn't leave, so she must have other ideas, so there was a possibility of cooperation between the two.

Zhiyan's motherland naturally had its own considerations when sending her here for marriage. They thought that in the future she would at least have someone she could speak to in the palace, so that she would not be too passive.

But who could have thought that Madam Yu and Master Fei would treat Zhiyan as a chess piece to be discarded after being used once without hesitation, and this marriage would have completely lost its meaning.

What Zhiyan worries about is never herself, but her motherland and compatriots.

"I do have an idea, I wonder if you can accept it?" Shi Li saw that the time was ripe and finally expressed his idea.

Since she doesn't want the future of Yan Kingdom to be handed over to the Crown Prince or Master Fei, she must introduce a third-party force, and it would be best if this force can make her feel at ease.

Regardless of their status or anything else, the people from Qianqi Tower are not suitable. If they are not of noble birth, it will be difficult for them to completely integrate into the palace even after the most thorough training. But Zhiyan is different.

She was born in the imperial palace, and was very familiar with the twists and turns there. Moreover, with her status, even if she became powerful in the future, Shi Li was not afraid that she would turn against him.

"This road will not be easy. It may take ten, twenty years, or even longer, and everyone will regard you as a thorn in their eyes." Shi Li told Zhi Yan all his thoughts, and then looked at her seriously.

Zhiyan was not a person who hesitated. She only lowered her head to think for a while, then raised her head and answered firmly: "I do."
