The princess shook her head and replied, "No, there's only one pair of very fine jade bracelets left. Since Her Majesty gave them to you, you can wear them."
Although I don't know why there is such a request, since the other party has said so, as a subject, I can only obey the order.
After hearing this, Li Jiangjiang breathed a sigh of relief. Her conscience would never harm her daughter, so she accepted the jade bracelet and put it on.
The moment she put on the jade bracelet, Li Jiangjiang felt as if her entire soul trembled, and she felt a very comfortable sensation.
Perhaps it was because she was using someone else's body, or perhaps her soul was not in sync with the original owner's body, that Li Jiangjiang felt uncomfortable after transmigrating. Sometimes she couldn't sleep well at night, often waking up after less than an hour, and repeatedly finding it difficult to sleep soundly.
But after wearing this bracelet, I felt completely comfortable, as if I had completely merged with my body. Does this bamboo have such magical power? Or is it just that high-quality jade has such effects?
She had read before that a good piece of jade could nourish the body and calm the mind; she didn't expect it to be true. But isn't this happening too quickly?
…
…
A few days later, Li Jiangjiang found that after wearing the jade bracelet that had been bestowed upon her, she slept soundly, ate well, felt extremely relaxed, and was much happier.
The princess also noticed her daughter's condition. Her daughter, who originally had a slightly sickly beauty, seemed more vibrant lately, perhaps because she was in a good mood or for some other reason.
"Jiang Jiang," the princess called out to her daughter.
Upon hearing the princess's voice, Li Jiangjiang immediately stepped forward: "What's wrong, Mother?"
"No, I just noticed you seem pretty happy lately?"
Li Jiangjiang replied, "Ever since I started wearing the bracelet that the Empress bestowed upon me, I've been eating and sleeping well, and naturally, I'm in a much better mood."
Upon hearing her answer, the princess's gaze fell back on the bracelet, as if it were indeed true: "It is said that jade can nourish the body, let alone a gift from the emperor. Perhaps it can truly make you healthier."
She had heard before that the Empress was a person destined for greatness, and that His Majesty's imperial star was so stable because of her presence. Perhaps the Empress truly was a remarkable person.
Perhaps the Empress noticed something was wrong with Li Jiangjiang's body, which is why she gave her this imperial gift. I've heard before that imperial gifts bring good fortune.
"Mmm." Li Jiangjiang nodded.
The princess continued, "Didn't you always want to go out for a stroll? Your mother has given your permission, but you must take good care of the guards and maids, understand?"
"I understand, Mother. Thank you, Mother." Li Jiangjiang coaxed the princess for a while before leaving.
…
Looking at the bustling street, Li Jiangjiang sighed. She had wanted to go out for a while, and now she finally had the chance.
But what day is it today? Why is the street so lively?
Li Jiangjiang shook her head, deciding not to care anymore. She was a grown woman and wouldn't get lost anyway, so she might as well let the crowds out.
Unexpectedly, while she was buying a small trinket, the crowds caused her to lose track of her maid and guards when she turned around.
?
Shouldn't her maids and guards be sticking close to her? Where have they all gone?
Li Jiangjiang found a relatively open spot with a good view, hoping to find her maid and guards.
Li Jiangjiang finally stood on the high platform and looked down at the huge crowd of people. It was indeed much more lively than the Prince's Mansion. There were just too many people.
After searching for a long time without seeing his own maids and guards, he unexpectedly encountered an assassin.
“Daughter of King Li, you are all alone.”
"I'm not him, you've mistaken me for someone else!" Li Jiangjiang was completely numb. Her father held a high position and must have had many enemies. Li Jiangjiang had encountered them several times since she transmigrated, but because she was well protected, nothing serious happened.
Unexpectedly, he is now alone, facing the assassin by himself.
Even though she learned martial arts from a young age, it was only because her mother was worried that she would be bullied by bad people, so she learned it to defend herself.
Her skills were completely different from those of martial arts in this era. Even if she was good at modern martial arts, she would still be nothing more than a novice in front of these people.
Li Jiangjiang immediately tried to run, but the other party didn't give her a chance to escape and raised the knife.
However, before the blade could fall, a pebble struck the assassin's hand. The force of the blow knocked the assassin's blade array to the ground.
The assassin turned around and seemed to recognize the person. He immediately tried to run away, but the other party did not give him a chance to escape.
"Trying to leave?" The two guards immediately pinned him down.
Chu Changning walked up to the assassin and asked directly, "Who sent you?"
The assassin didn't say a word, then suddenly coughed up blood.
The guard checked his breath: "Young master, he committed suicide by poisoning himself."
Another person found some marks on the assassin, but they were exclusive marks of the Assassin's Guild. This only indicated that he came from there, but it was still unclear who the mastermind behind the murder was.
"Take him away first." Chu Changning's voice was gentle, then he turned to look at Li Jiangjiang in front of him: "How is the little princess?"
"I...I'm fine..." Li Jiangjiang was clearly still in shock.
Chu Changning helped her sit down in the pavilion.
It took Li Jiangjiang a while to speak: "Thank you, young master. Do you know me?"
Chu Changning smiled, his handsome and gentle face looking harmless, but his recent handling of the assassin clearly showed he was used to this kind of situation: "I just overheard the conversation between the assassin and the young princess."
