The envelope was very thick, and only the three words "Baidi City" were written neatly on it.

No clues related to Lu Lingyun were revealed.

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. She had already cut ties with the Yongning Marquisate and would never let the Yongning Marquisate get close to Lu Lingyun.

The envelope was opened, revealing a thick stack of letters.

Not surprisingly, this was a letter Lu Lingyun wrote to her.

The letter described in great detail the water conservancy construction in Rongcheng and explained all the things she had asked him to do.

Jiang Li couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and his expression softened a lot.

With the water conservancy projects built first, more people will be saved when floods and droughts occur again three years later.

She has done what she can, and the rest is up to fate.

This letter should be called a work report rather than a family letter.

In the dozen pages of letter, there was not a single sentence mentioning Jiang Li.

Until the last page, the matter of water conservancy is finished.

Lu Lingyun mentioned his 70th birthday, but unfortunately she never came back.

Jiang Li's expression suddenly darkened.

When leaving Cheng'an, Lu Lingyun asked her to go back this year to attend his 70th birthday.

However, because of the incident at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, she never left.

She was unfilial when she only asked Xu Ziyi to take Miss Zhang back with her.

Jiang Li picked up his pen and quickly wrote a reply letter.

"Qingzhu, tomorrow morning you will go to the post station in person to mail the letter."

She did not go back for Lu Lingyun's birthday this year, but she will definitely go back next year to apologize.

"Yes!"

Qingzhu left with the letter, and the snow became heavier.

Blow out the candles, and in the silence you can vaguely hear the sound of falling snow.

Jiang Li couldn't sleep anymore, so he changed his clothes and climbed onto the roof with a wine jug.

She raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Prince Yong's Mansion. The events that happened in Prince Yong's Mansion during the day kept turning over in her mind.

He raised his hand and the cold wine slid into his throat.

The pungent taste of the wine burned all the way into her stomach and made Jiang Li's eyes red, but her mind became clearer.

Baili She said that there was no first option for Chu Mingzhao's blood transfusion.

This is real.

Although she is proficient in poison techniques, medicine and poison are inseparable.

Naturally, he knew that the poison in Chu Mingzhao's body was extremely dangerous and could only be cured by blood transfusion.

But, Chu Ninghan...

Jiang Li let out a long sigh.

She held up her flushed cheeks, her eyes full of sorrow.

The new cooperation proposed today was a bit despicable, but it was the best solution she could think of.

I have to find a way to make Chu Ninghan agree.

At least, Chu Ninghan had to agree before she completely left the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

It snowed heavily overnight, and the whole of Kyoto was covered in white the next day.

The road into the palace was slower than usual, but Jiang Li was not in a hurry.

On the contrary, Xie Jun in the other carriage was extremely nervous.

He has been like this since he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, holding the divorce papers tightly in his hand and never putting them down even when he goes to sleep.

Early this morning, the emperor personally summoned them into the palace.

Jiang Li was not surprised at all.

Who caused Xiao Yan to die?

Yesterday, along with their return to Beijing, news of Xiao Yan's death also arrived.

The emperor was very patient as he waited until this morning to summon them.

When they arrived at the palace, perhaps because the previous plots had failed, this time the maids and palace servants were overly respectful and obedient to Jiang Li.

Today was not a grand court meeting, so the emperor summoned them directly to the imperial study.

"Xie Jun, Jiang Li, you two should tell me how a good county lady like me is gone!"

Sure enough, after meeting the emperor, the emperor's first question was to ask about Xiao Yan's death.

The emperor's face was dark; he had never expected this.

His only daughter was gone just like that.

He was burned to death!

Although it was an accident, he didn't believe it at all!

There aren't so many accidents in the world. It's very likely that Xie Jun and Jiang Li conspired to kill Xiao Yan!

Jiang Li is the biggest suspect. Xiao Yan's existence is a thorn in her throat. Killing Xiao Yan would be the best thing for Jiang Li.

Without waiting for Xie Jun and Jiang Li to speak, the emperor asked, "Jiang Li, you must be narrow-minded and jealous of the county lady, so you are secretly harming her!"

"Your Majesty, I am not guilty of jealousy."

Jiang Li was also very tough. "I personally presided over the county lady's wedding and personally sent her to Pingsheng to be included in the family tree. If you are jealous, I can refuse."

No matter what, in everyone's eyes, Jiang Li could not be blamed for jealousy.

The emperor was so angry that he grabbed the inkstone and threw it at Jiang Li.

"How dare you quibble!"

He said sternly: "During the wedding, you insulted the county lady again and again. Do you really think I am blind?"

The wedding was in chaos, and Xie Jun and Xiao Yan were beaten and scolded by the people along the way, and they were pelted with rotten eggs and splashed with chicken blood.

This was all spontaneous action by the people, but it did not prevent the emperor from pinning the blame on Jiang Li and blaming everything on Jiang Li.

If it weren't for Jiang Li's intervention, Xie Jun and Xiao Yan's marriage would have been inappropriate, and the common people wouldn't have been so excited.

It was because Jiang Li had a good reputation among the people that the common people felt sorry for her.

Because all the officials had been keeping an eye on Xie Jun and Xiao Yan, the emperor endured the grievances that Xiao Yan suffered during the wedding.

I had originally planned to clear Xie Jun and Xiao Yan's names during the Autumn Hunt, but who would have thought that a forest fire would occur.

He had no choice but to sacrifice Xiao Yan again.

It was obvious that he had planned everything out, just waiting for Xiao Yan to ascend to the throne with the help of her offspring and be included in the Xie family genealogy.

He could then openly enthrone Xiao Yan and support the Yongning Marquisate.

As a result, Xiao Yan died!

This is all Jiang Li and Xie Jun’s fault!

Jiang Li turned her head away from the inkstone and said, "Your Majesty, I am only in charge of the wedding in the palace and I don't know what is happening outside the palace."

The emperor was furious. "What a quibble! You are just afraid of the county lady, worried that she will take your position as the Crown Prince's Consort!"

Jiang Li was neither humble nor arrogant, and then took out the memorial.

"I have already written a divorce letter with Prince Xie. I have no intention of coveting the Prince's Consort of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion."

"what?"

The emperor was stunned. Jiang Li actually wanted to divorce Xie Jun?

He immediately looked at Xie Jun, who was trembling as soon as he entered the imperial study, and said sternly: "Xie Jun, it's like this!"

"Yes, yes! Your Majesty, I have divorced Jiang Li. Here is the divorce letter!"

Xie Jun nodded quickly, and he finally took out the divorce papers, tightly grasping them.

He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Jiang Li and I have long since severed our relationship, please allow us to divorce!"

As long as he gets rid of Jiang Li, he can survive.

As for Xiao Yan, she is dead.

The attendant presented the divorce letter to the emperor, who quickly glanced over it and became immediately furious.

He glared at Xie Jun, calling him a useless piece of trash.

This divorce letter was actually written by Jiang Li!

The emperor snorted coldly, "Jiang Li, you are so bold! You are a woman, and you dare to write a divorce letter!"

This is something that has never happened in the world.

However, this also shows that she has no intention of competing with Xiao Yan for the position of Crown Prince's Consort.

But, ask him to let Jiang Li go?

impossible!
