Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao rode their horses at full speed, raising a cloud of dust, as they hurried all the way to the imperial city - Kyoto.

They were both nervous and excited, as if they were about to embark on an adventure full of unknowns and dangers.

They didn't know that there was a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark.

The owner of these eyes is Liu Jingshu.

Relying on the advantages of her previous life, she had already learned of Liu Yaoyao's whereabouts in advance and had already finalized a plan to deal with them in her mind.

During these days, Liu Jingshu used her wisdom and strategy to successfully help Prince Han Ling Jinhan seize the stronghold of Crown Prince Ling Muxiao.

This move made Ling Jinhan very proud in the court. He was entrusted with important tasks by the emperor and became a popular figure in the court.

Ling Jinhan really spent a lot of money this time. He carried the valuable gifts as if he was carrying a mountain of gold, and paraded through the streets, as if he was afraid that some passerby would not know that he was going to the Liu Mansion to propose marriage.

He looked so proud, just like a peacock spreading its tail, afraid that others would not see his gorgeous feathers.

Leng Ji had heard the news a long time ago, and hurried to tell Liu Jingshu: "Miss Jingshu, something terrible has happened! Ling Jinhan is carrying a lot of gifts to the Liu residence. Judging from his attitude, he might want to take over the entire Liu residence!"

After hearing this, Liu Jingshu curled up a playful smile.

This Liu Mansion is a private residence that Liu Jingshu obtained in exchange for her life-saving grace to King Han.

Originally, she was a thoughtful person. She thought that if she wanted to gain a foothold in Kyoto, she had to look like a wealthy family.

So she specially asked someone to make a plaque with the words "Liu Mansion" and hung it on the gate of the mansion.

Moreover, she did not forget to bring in Leng Ji, Xiao Langzhong, Shi Qianhu and others to serve as the Liu family's right-hand men.

In this way, the Liu Mansion really became a well-established wealthy family.

Since Ling Jinhan wanted to bring Liu Jingshu under his command, she had to give him some sweet treats to let him know that she was not so easy to deal with.

Liu Jingshu raised a sly smile and ordered Leng Ji, "Leng Ji, tell the servants in the mansion to be alert today, keep their eyes open and their ears pricked up. Our Liu Mansion is about to welcome a distinguished guest, don't let him laugh at you."

Leng Ji immediately took the order and left.

He was so excited, as if he had drunk ten jars of good wine.

He thought to himself: "Haha, today's show is really worth watching! I have to cooperate with Miss Jingshu and make this show more exciting than the opera!"

Leng Ji ran all over the Liu Mansion and conveyed Liu Jingshu's words to every servant.

When the servants heard this, they all perked up and started to get busy, tidying up the yard, cleaning the rooms, and preparing tea and snacks. They were very busy.

The entire Liu Mansion suddenly became extremely lively, as if they were welcoming an emperor in person.

As for Ling Jinhan, he had no idea that he had become a chess piece in Liu Jingshu's hands, and was happily rushing towards Liu's residence carrying gifts.

Liu Jingshu stood at the gate of the mansion, watching Ling Jinhan and his group approaching from afar.

She laughed in her heart: "This Ling Jinhan is really a fool. But since he wants to play, I will play with him."

When Ling Jinhan and his party arrived at the gate of Liu's Mansion, they saw a neat, orderly and majestic Liu Mansion, as well as a smiling Liu Jingshu and energetic servants.

Ling Jinhan was immediately amazed, and his respect and affection for Liu Jingshu increased a little more.

However, he didn't know that all this was just a trap set by Liu Jingshu to play with him.

Now that the curtain has been raised, Liu Jingshu has no intention of letting this drama end so easily.

She walked forward with a smile and saluted Ling Jinhan: "Your Highness Prince Han's visit is truly an honor to the Liu Mansion."

Ling Jinhan was a little overwhelmed by Liu Jingshu's sudden enthusiasm. He quickly responded, "Miss Liu, you are too polite. I came here today to discuss something important."

Liu Jingshu smiled secretly in her heart, but pretended to be curious on her face: "Oh? What's the important matter, Your Highness Prince Han? Why don't you just speak frankly."

Ling Jinhan cleared his throat and said seriously, "I have always admired Miss Liu's talent and courage. I would like to invite Miss Liu to join my camp and work together for great things."

After hearing this, Liu Jingshu pretended to be hesitant: "This... Your Highness Prince Han, you also know that I am just a woman, how can I understand anything important. I am afraid that I will delay your important event."

Ling Jinhan was anxious: "Miss Liu, you are wrong. I have witnessed your wisdom and courage with my own eyes. As long as you are willing to join, I will treat you with courtesy and will never treat you unfairly."

Liu Jingshu was secretly delighted, but pretended to be embarrassed: "This... Your Highness Prince Han, I appreciate your kindness. But this matter is serious, let me think about it again."

Seeing this, Ling Jinhan thought Liu Jingshu was considering it, so he stopped forcing her and started talking about other things.

As for Liu Jingshu, she was like a cunning little fox. She would take advantage of the opportunity to chat with Ling Jinhan to release some smoke bombs from time to time.

There was a half-smile on the corner of her mouth and a cunning light flashing in her eyes, which made Ling Jinhan mistakenly believe that she was really considering joining his camp.

To be honest, in his previous life, Ling Jinhan, without the help of Liu Jingshu, relied on his own abilities to sit in the position above everyone else.

However, with Liu Jingshu as his think tank in this world, his journey will surely be easier and smoother.

However, the little girl Liu Jingshu already had her own plans, and she had already chosen the teammates she wanted to follow.

It's a pity that Ling Jinhan, this stupid guy, only wanted her to join his camp instead of marrying her home as a princess.

Liu Jingshu was so angry. She was a woman with aspirations and dreams. How could she be satisfied with just joining his camp?

What she wanted was more power and status, and the opportunity to fight alongside him and create something great together.

So, when Ling Jinhan mentioned asking her to join his camp again, Liu Jingshu pretended to be hesitant and said, "Your Highness Prince Han, I appreciate your kindness. But this matter is serious, let me think about it again."

"Ms. Liu, please don't think about it anymore. As long as you are willing to join, I, Ling Jinhan, will treat you with courtesy and will never treat you unfairly."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Your Highness Prince Han." Liu Jingshu sobbed, as if she was overwhelmed with grievances. "I have a sister. Although she always makes things difficult for me, she is still my sister. She is now the princess of Prince Chen. With my awkward identity, it is not convenient for me to stand on either side openly."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Ling Jinhan, with a look that said "you know what I mean".

Ling Jinhan had come a long way from being a scheming person, so when he heard this, he immediately understood what Liu Jingshu meant.

"Hahaha, I see." Ling Jinhan pretended to be enlightened. "I heard that my ninth brother is going back to Beijing. This is a big deal. It's just right. I will go meet him and see what kind of trouble he will stir up when he comes back this time."

As he spoke, he deliberately patted Liu Jingshu's shoulder, his eyes revealing a meaning of "Don't worry, I understand you".
