The eldest prince's wedding was a grand affair, with virtually all the officials in attendance.
"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bowing to the parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"Send them to the bridal chamber!"
The wedding officiant read aloud.
"Very well, congratulations! I, your humble servant, offer a toast to Prince Xuan."
"Yes, yes, today is His Highness Prince Xuan's joyous occasion. Let's raise a toast to Prince Xuan..."
The ministers offered their congratulations and toasts.
The women's seats were just as lively.
Jing Le and the other princesses were quietly eating their meal at the women's table, and Eleven blocked anyone who tried to curry favor with them.
Just then, a maid from the Prince's mansion walked towards Jing Le and the others.
"stop."
Eleven stopped the maid and said.
"My lord, I am here on the orders of Prince Xuan to ask the Fifth Princess to keep Princess Xuan company."
The maidservant spoke respectfully, her expression showing no sign of unease.
However, Jing Le still noticed something was off about the other person.
[Hehe, here comes the plot: this maid has been controlled by a Gu worm, so sending Fifth Sister to see Eldest Sister might be a lie. Anyway, hehe, let's go and see.]
Jing Le's pupils gleamed; she'd been living too comfortably lately, and it wouldn't hurt to get some exercise.
The Fifth Princess and the others naturally knew what plot Jing Le was talking about.
The Fifth Princess, in particular, looked at the maid with a chilling gaze. With Lele around this time, she was certain she wouldn't end up like the character in the story.
That man won't get away with it.
"Lele, let her come over. Maybe something really has come up."
"Eleventh Sister".
After Jing Le called out, Eleven made way for the maid, and then the Fifth Princess led Jing Le and the others to the backyard.
The maid's task was simply to lead the Fifth Princess to the long corridor leading to the backyard.
Men would occasionally walk down that long corridor toward the banquet in the front yard; it was a shared passageway for men and women, so it was normal to encounter men there.
However, under normal circumstances, men will automatically give way when they see a woman approaching.
A maid led the way, and a man was waiting in the distance.
[Haha, the main character is already waiting there. Let me see just how powerful your Gu techniques are.]
Jing Le knew he was that scumbag the moment she saw the man in the shadows.
You can sense a mysterious power emanating from him, just like the one you felt from the woman in red.
Perhaps this is the energy field possessed by the Gu Master.
The princesses also saw the man and thought to themselves, "He's here."
He stood where they were bound to pass, with the maids standing in front of him without stopping, and Jing Le and the others remained silent.
As they met, a faint, strange fluctuation emanated from them, heading towards Jing Le and the others.
Although not a single word was spoken, undercurrents were surging beneath the surface.
"grumble!"
Three faint, sharp cries rang out, different from insect chirps, yet similar to them.
The man suddenly coughed up blood, staring in shock at Jing Le and the others who had passed him.
He thought to himself: Why are my pets useless? Is there a master among them? Who is it?
What he didn't see was that just as he made his move, a golden light emanated from the Fifth Princess, Sixth Princess, and Eighth Princess.
That's the effect of the protective magic item.
Jing Le and Shi Yi were both cultivators, so the tiny Gu worms couldn't even get into their bodies. They were pulverized before they could even scream.
Jing Le kept a close eye on the other person's movements, and when she saw him vomit blood, she laughed.
[Oh, so it's backfired, huh? Heh, not bad at all. It's one thing to try and poison my fifth sister, but to try and poison all of us at the last minute.]
[If they don't turn against you, who will they turn against? Serves you right.]
Since you enjoy using witchcraft to harm people so much, then I'll grant your wish.
Jing Le purchased something resembling a Gu worm from the system shop.
It's very, very small, transparent, and it specifically eats people's brains, so that he can also experience what it feels like to be controlled by a Gu worm.
Jing Le used her spiritual power to envelop the transparent worm and threw it at the scumbag. The worm instantly burrowed into his body.
Heading towards the center of the forehead.
"Sisters, hurry up, your sister-in-law is getting impatient."
After resolving the matter, Jing Le felt relieved and led her sisters to the backyard.
What happens to that man is none of their business.
After the matter was resolved, the group did not linger and returned to the palace early. Jing Le also received a reward for her merit.
[Ding! Successfully rescued the Fifth Princess. Reward: 500 points.]
Even though it's short, a lot of words are still flesh, right?
Moreover, she helped Fifth Sister escape her predetermined fate, and that alone made her happy.
...
Time flies, and it was soon the end of November. Light snow had already fallen in the capital.
This year, the appearance of Jing Le has brought about tremendous changes to Dayong.
First, the people now have new hope, as new crops have been introduced to every village and are growing very well.
More people will plant it next year, and it is likely that within a year, the entire territory of Dayong will be planted with it.
Secondly, with the material supply from the courtyard, Anle City in Jingle has already established several branches in the surrounding area.
The profits were considerable, and Jing Le gave half of them to Emperor Jing and the other half to the Ministry of War.
This greatly moved the Ministry of War, making this year the most prosperous year for the Ministry of War.
Third, Consort Gui and Emperor Jing established charitable halls in various places in the name of Jing Le to take in some homeless children.
This can be considered a prayer for Jing Le's well-being.
Thousands of miles away on the frontier, heavy snow has been falling for several days, and the snow-covered peaks stand silently.
Military encampment.
"Have they all been distributed?"
