Princess Anlan had it all to blame. She had always turned a blind eye to the Queen's indirect criticisms of Princess Anlan.

Now, in order to frame Madam Liu, he has sacrificed his own reputation and destroyed his own innocence.

The Empress and the Emperor were already very dissatisfied with Song Nanzhi.

After the emperor personally issued an edict for Song Nanzhi and Liu Yueru to divorce, he also gave Liu Yueru those guarantees, which was implicitly telling the world that even after the divorce, Madam Liu would still be wanted by someone, and at least her food, clothing, and daily life would be guaranteed.

Since Princess Anlan has lost her value in the eyes of the Queen, her dowry will naturally be reduced.

When the nanny came to deliver the dowry, she brought along the Queen's close confidants, perhaps because she didn't want anyone else to know that she had prepared the dowry for Princess Anlan.

She also asked the nanny to gather more than a dozen boxes of things, probably to support Princess Anlan. The concubines in the palace all serve people according to their status.

Seeing that the Queen Mother still cares so much about Princess Anlan, the next box of things she adds to Princess Anlan will naturally not be too bad.

Ah Xiu carefully analyzed her thoughts with Princess An Lan. She looked at Princess An Lan nervously, hoping that she could understand her painstaking efforts.

After hearing what Ah Xiu said, Xie Anlan's expression changed, but his face looked obviously more helpless and uneasy.

She pulled Ah Xiu's hand and asked, "If I only bring the dowry, I won't be able to pave the way for Nan Zhi in the future. How can I take care of those people without money? A few days ago, Nan Zhi said that some housekeepers wanted to help him and let him get promoted after he married me."

Ah Xiu took a deep breath and strongly disagreed with Princess An Lan's idea.

"Princess, the future of the Marquis's Mansion is the Crown Prince's business, not something you, a woman, should worry about. The dowry given to you by the Queen is something for you to rely on. Even if the Crown Prince is not a good person in the future, or something else, the fields and shops given to you by the Queen are a guarantee for your life. Together with the silver boxes sent by other queens, you can sell them for a lot of silver."

Ah Xiu looked at Princess Anlan with a determined gaze, and then said, "Princess, before you got married, you were the high and mighty Princess Anlan, but after leaving the palace, you are the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, and the wife of the Crown Prince. No matter what your status was before, you will be bound by all kinds of rules and regulations. Those so-called seven reasons for divorce are the seven heaviest shackles. If you put all the cards in your hands in front of the Crown Prince, whether you will be happy or sad in the future will be decided by the Crown Prince."

After hearing this, Xie Anlan nodded as if she understood, not quite. She didn't care about the so-called seven reasons for divorce at all. She didn't think they were shackles for women, but only that they were the standards of behavior for women, and all women in the world should abide by these seven reasons for divorce.

Ah Xiu thought Princess An Lan had heard what she said, so she said nothing more and had people put all the princess's dowry into the warehouse.

Princess Anlan did not publicize this matter excessively.

But the next morning, Xie Anlan got up early, which was rare for him, and came to the Queen's Fengyi Palace early to pay his respects to the Queen.

When the nanny saw Princess An Lan coming, she naturally knew what she wanted to do.

Then she said, "Your Highness has been worried about His Royal Highness not getting enough rest these days, so you don't have to come over to pay your respects these few days. Princess Anlan should go back first."

Although Xie Anlan was somewhat unwilling, he couldn't say much in front of the servants, so he said lightly: "Mother, have a good rest, I will come to see her later."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Xie Jingrui on the other side.

He also returned to Prince Jin's Mansion, changed out of his night clothes somewhat tiredly, and washed up again.

Only then did they arrive at the yard where the man was imprisoned.

When the servant guarding the gate saw that the person coming was Xie Jingrui, he immediately opened the gate.

Xie Jingrui strode into the courtyard.

However, he asked his servants to send the man a lot of men's clothes that were suitable for him, but when Xie Jingrui came in, he saw that the man was still wearing the women's skirts he brought back from outside.

Even her makeup is still that of a woman's delicate look.

Xie Jingrui's eyes fell on him, caught off guard.

His brows grew colder.

"Those clothes are not suitable?" Xie Jingrui asked coldly.

The man's name was Li Jiangyan. After seeing who was coming, the fear on his face faded a little.

But she still subconsciously stepped back and looked at Xie Jingrui shyly.

Xie Jingrui frowned even tighter! The chill emanating from his body was chilling.

He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly to Li Jiangyan: "If you look at me like that again, I will dig out your eyes."

Sure enough, after Xie Jingrui finished speaking, Li Jiangyan stopped pretending and immediately resumed his normal man's posture and gaze.

Xie Jingrui signaled his subordinates to leave, and he sat down casually in a seat.

He recalled what Liu Yueru had told him, but when he looked at Li Jiangyan's expression, there was no warmth at all. When he opened his mouth, his words had a different meaning: "Prince Jin's Mansion doesn't keep useless people."

"If you are sensible, the Prince Jin's Mansion can give you a way out. If you hand over the method of making gunpowder, you will take the lead in developing advanced gunpowder technology. In the future, you can stay in the Prince Jin's Mansion forever, and the palace will arrange special secret guards to protect your safety."

"As a meritorious official of Kyoto, anyone who wants to kill you in the future will have to think twice. The greater your contribution to Kyoto, the more secure your safety will be."

Xie Jingrui glanced at Li Jiangyan's clothes with disdain, and then continued: "In the future, you can be an upright person, and you don't have to pretend anymore."

Li Jiangyan ignored Xie Jingrui and just stood aside quietly.

Seeing this, Xie Jingrui stood up and said to Li Jiangyan, "Similarly, I have said that the Prince of Jin's Mansion does not keep idle people. I will give you one night to think about it. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. The wolves in the back mountain haven't eaten meat for a long time."

Xie Jingrui left after saying this.

Only then did Li Jiangyan dare to look up and look in the direction where Xie Jingrui left.

In the Prince Jin's Mansion, Xie Jingrui did not completely lock Li Jiangyan in the courtyard, but allowed him to walk back and forth in the garden of the Prince Jin's Mansion on weekdays.

As dusk fell, the sunset glow in the sky was as red as fire.

Li Jiangyan came to the garden under An Wei's care. He asked the secret guard for a fire starter and then lit the little thing in his hand.

The entire Prince Jin's Mansion heard a loud "boom."

The secret guards were all shocked as they looked at the big hole that was blown out on the ground. It only took a small thing to create such a powerful effect.

After Li Jiangyan lit the explosives, a smug smile appeared on his face.

Not long after.

Xie Jingrui came over after hearing the sound...
