I don’t know if it was because the enemy was too weak, Gu Qingchen was too strong, or Jiang Li’s medicinal powder provided support, but this sneak attack ended faster than expected.
In short, this scene was still circulating in the world for a long time.
It is said that Prince Jingling's fighting power has increased after his marriage. He descends from the sky in the dark night like the King of Hell, and after only three or five attacks, the killers are unable to move.
Jiang Li's reputation as a lucky charm for her husband spread from then on.
Let’s go back to the crime scene.
In less than an incense stick of time, the noise outside the door gradually dissipated.
"Princess, I will fetch some water to help you wash."
Bai Zhi's courage has been honed recently. After seeing through the crack in the door that people outside had already started cleaning, she took the initiative to volunteer to do something for Jiang Li.
Jiang Li seemed not to hear and stood in front of the bookshelf.
Jiang Li played with an exquisite bamboo tube next to the "Tao Te Ching" with her slender fingers. She swore that she picked it up just because she thought it was interesting.
But I didn't expect that this bamboo tube was actually a place to store secret letters.
She is a gossipy person, but she is definitely not someone who would take the initiative to pry into other people's secrets.
For a moment, she felt like she was holding a hot potato. If she put it back now, Gu Qingchen would believe that she didn't look at it, right?
"Do you know how to open it?"
Gu Qingchen's voice sounded behind him. Jiang Li was startled and her head hit the bookshelf with a "bang", and her eyes immediately turned red.
Worried that Jiang Li would fall, Gu Qingchen withdrew his outstretched hand in frustration and said in a low voice, "Am I really that scary?"
As if he was unhappy, Jiang Li actually heard a hint of a resentful woman's tone in Gu Qingchen's voice.
Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "I just didn't expect that the prince was so powerful and could get rid of those flies so quickly."
I really admire my own quick thinking. Noticing the slight smile on Gu Qingchen's lips, Jiang Li quickly handed over the bamboo tube in her hand: "I'll give this back to you. I just picked it up out of curiosity. Don't worry, I didn't open it."
The man reached out and took hold of her four fingers, closing his palm for her.
"I know."
Seeing the woman staring at him blankly, Gu Qingchen resisted the urge to poke her forehead, "But there are things in here about you, you can take a look."
After that, Bai Zhi knocked on the door. Gu Qingchen patted Jiang Li on the head and said, "You should get some rest early. You still have to go to the palace to pay respects tomorrow. I will go to the study first."
Jiang Li subconsciously grabbed the corner of the man's clothes and said, "Will others notice you going to the study on your wedding night..."
Looking at the woman with her hair loose, her lips red and her teeth white, and especially the faint fragrance that drifted from her skin from time to time, Gu Qingchen suppressed the strange feeling in his body and said calmly, "Men in black make a scene on the wedding night, and the bride kicks the groom out of the room in anger. How about this play?"
Since ancient times, fierce women have always been happy! If this word gets out, those demons and monsters will not dare to provoke her easily.
Jiang Li's heart moved, and he nodded quickly, "Your Highness has a good plan."
A man will risk his life for a beautiful woman.
One day after Prince Jingling's wedding, people in the capital heard that the prince had caused a disturbance in the morning court because of what happened on his wedding night, implicating many officials.
Even the news that Jiang Mansion's mistress, Zhou, had become ill after her eldest daughter's wedding and would be unable to leave the house for several months was ignored.
"Ji'er, we suffered heavy losses this time."
After the court session, Qin Chuan smashed the study to pieces.
Those were the death squads that their prime minister's mansion had raised for a long time. How could they be so useless that they were completely wiped out and no one survived?
What's even more hateful is that the Third Prince sent a message saying that the White Crow Pavilion was attacked last night, with more than half of the casualties, which was a serious blow. He specially ordered Qin Chuan to find a way to collect some money as soon as possible to fill the hole.
"Father, could it be that Prince Jingling is behind the White Crow Pavilion's actions?"
Qin Ji's face was as black as ink at this time.
Since my family affairs were hindered, nothing has gone smoothly.
Qin Chuan shook his head. "Without the Emperor's order, Prince Jingling's Lingxiao Army wouldn't dare act rashly. If there had been any news, our people would have discovered it long ago. And the Third Prince said that what happened last night didn't seem to be done by the army."
Failure is common in the military, and although he is angry, it is understandable. However, now that the marriage of the Jiang family has been ruined, where can he raise money for the Third Prince? Qin Chuan stared at Qin Lao San fiercely.
"You are really a person who is incapable of doing anything but always causes trouble!" He grabbed the tea bowl handed to him by the servant and smashed it on Qin Laosan's forehead. Before Qin Laosan could dodge, he howled in pain and started rolling on the ground.
"alright!"
The old man sitting next to the main seat finally spoke.
"Do you regret it now?"
The old man raised his eyelids slightly, and his face showed an expression of dislike for his sons.
"The old Taoist priest told us that if Ji-ge'er married Miss Jiang, our Qin family would definitely rise to a higher level. You guys are so short-sighted that you just thought she was from a merchant family and refused to do anything about it."
"Prince Jingling has now taken advantage," Old Master Qin sneered, "but I heard that Prince Jingling hasn't been sick for a long time."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Chuan's face changed, "Father, what do you mean?"
"There are some things you just have to believe." Old Master Qin turned the walnut in his hand. "Boss, remember this: if Prince Jingling is healthy, given the current emperor's temperament, when the new emperor ascends the throne, there will definitely be a regent to assist in governing. By then, whether you or Brother Ji want to have a say, it will be wishful thinking."
"this……"
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, the Qin brothers no longer dared to speak casually, and even the third Qin did not dare to say a word.
"So what does father mean?"
Old Master Qin glanced at the stupid and foolish third son, thought for a moment and then said, "Since Miss Jiang is already married, Ji'er, don't worry too much. I'll ask your grandmother to help you choose a good family in the near future."
