That night, Li Shiyue slept in Yan Jiuniang's courtyard.
Even after lying down, Li Shiyue couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
Although Li Shiyue had gotten her revenge on Jiang Huijun during the day, she had used the incident to "get back" to Liu Tan in the study.
Not only did this arouse Liu Tan's suspicion, but it also allowed Li Shiyue to leave Jinzhou and go to Jian'an to kill the bandits. In addition, Li Shiyue also gained an extra thousand soldiers from Liu Tan.
Even if they are new recruits, they are still soldiers!
Her military rank didn't increase, but her real power did!
Profit is the most important thing!
When it comes to personal gain, it's not unbearable to suffer a little injustice.
However, Li Shiyue is an official, no matter how you look at it, she is someone who can make a name for herself even among men.
Now, as she closed her eyes and thought about the humiliation she had suffered at Jiang Huijun's hands during the day, she felt increasingly aggrieved.
So she simply sat up in bed and took out a set of night clothes from her system inventory.
Not only that, she also put on a mask that she bought from Zhang Lanlan in the futuristic technological world.
This thing automatically conforms to the skin when placed on the face; it's a full-face mask that can cover the entire face.
Moreover, this thing has two major advantages. First, it is considered military equipment, and it was specially reserved for Li Shiyue by Zhang Lanlan, the ordnance specialist, from the masks they discarded.
Therefore, it not only serves as a night market, but also allows for clear visibility even in dense smoke and fog, and also provides respiratory protection against toxic substances.
The second advantage is that, once the mask fits the face perfectly, it appears to the outside like a curved mirror.
In other words, even if you meet someone face-to-face while wearing a mask, you don't need to worry about being recognized.
So, after putting on her mask, Li Shiyue carefully opened the window and went up to the roof.
She wanted to go see Jiang Huijun. If Liu Tan had embarrassed Jiang Huijun, then she could finally vent her anger.
If Liu Tan didn't "make trouble," then she would have to find a way to vent her anger herself!
In short, Li Shiyue cannot suffer this loss and humiliation for nothing!
Li Shiyue was already very familiar with the layout of the Prince's mansion.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to separate from Li Qingfeng and immediately find Liu Shu and kill him after seeing the old Zhenbei King strangled to death by Zhao Changying.
Therefore, with the circulation of internal energy, in just over ten breaths, Li Shiyue tapped around on the roof of the Prince's Mansion and quickly arrived at the main courtyard in the backyard, which was the courtyard where Princess Jiang Huijun lived.
It was already late at night, but the main house in the courtyard was brightly lit, as if it were daytime!
Li Shiyue lay down on the roof, carefully pried open the tiles, and looked down through the gap.
Thus, she saw Jiang Huijun sitting on the low couch in the side hall, holding a cup of tea, and Liu Tan sitting at the round table opposite the low couch in the side hall, also drinking tea.
There was no one else in the house except the couple.
Seeing the couple like this now, Li Shiyue couldn't help but think back to the banquet tonight, when Liu Tan and Jiang Huijun were not so distant and unfamiliar.
At that time, Li Shiyue was sitting in the military officer's seat, her gaze casually sweeping over Liu Tan and Jiang Huijun at the head of the table.
On the surface, the couple seemed to have a harmonious and happy relationship. Liu Tan would occasionally serve food to Princess Jiang Huijun, who would gracefully and elegantly accept her son-in-law's thoughtfulness.
However, Li Shiyue had already noticed that Liu Tan's gaze had never truly fallen on Jiang Huijun.
As for Jiang Huijun, who accepted food from Liu Tan, her knuckles were already white from gripping the chopsticks so tightly.
However, the banquet was very noisy at the time, and even though Li Shiyue had excellent eyesight, she couldn't read lips and couldn't hear clearly what the two people at the head of the table were saying.
I really don't know what Liu Tan said that made Jiang Huijun look like that.
Just then, Li Shiyue, who was lying on the roof, wondered why the couple hadn't spoken yet, when Jiang Huijun spoke up.
"Is Your Highness planning to stay overnight tonight?"
Jiang Huijun's voice was calm, but she didn't look at Liu Tan at all. Instead, she stared at the teacup in her own hand.
Liu Tan paused, put down his teacup, and turned to look at Jiang Huijun: "What good thing did you do in the backyard today?"
Jiang Huijun finally stopped looking at the teacup and instead looked at Liu Tan with a cold smile on her face.
"Has Your Highness come here to interrogate us?"
For that Li Shiyue?
"Li Shiyue has just made great contributions in the Turkic Khaganate!"
How dare you humiliate her like this with the prospect of marriage?
Liu Tan slammed his hand on the round table, causing the teacup lid to spin and spin across the surface.
"Do you know that the whole mansion is talking about you, saying that you, the princess, are narrow-minded and can't tolerate the female general!"
They say I, the Prince of Zhenbei, forced the female general who had just made great contributions to leave the center of power, and that I wanted to use her marriage to control Li Shiyue!
Jiang Huijun slowly stood up, her elegant skirt sweeping across the ground.
"The prince does care about her."
She scoffed, "Why don't you, Your Highness, show any concern for your own princess?"
In the past two weeks, has Your Highness stepped into the main courtyard even once?
Jiang Huijun's words made Liu Tan narrow his eyes.
Li Shiyue, on the rooftop, couldn't help but nod. Didn't Jiang Huijun's words confirm what Yan Jiuniang had said to her before?
Jiang Huijun simply can't accept Liu Tan's philandering and infidelity!
It's likely that after Liu Tan became the Prince of Zhenbei, he became the de facto "King" of Andong, which exposed his inherent flaws as a man.
"Just because of this?"
"Just because I stayed at the Turkic beauty's place, you're taking your anger out on Li Shiyue today?"
"leak?"
Jiang Huijun suddenly raised her voice, "In the prince's eyes, what I did was called venting my anger?"
"Haha, haha, Liu Tan, Liu Tan, didn't you say to me that you suspected Li Shiyue killed Liu Shu?"
Didn't you say that Li Shiyue's personal martial prowess has exceeded your limits?
You're saying that just because she can kill Liu Shu, she can turn around and kill you too?
Didn't you say you were afraid that Li Shiyue would take your life in the future?
Okay, I'll try my best to control Li Shiyue for you;
In the end, I became the narrow-minded princess who couldn't tolerate the female general;
And you are still a good prince who is fair in rewarding and punishing, and who has feelings for your comrades in the army!
Liu Tan, oh Liu Tan, I was blind to have made such a mistake!
