The grass in the factory should be plucked

Shen Muchun could not help but be shocked. If Jiang Li's speculation was true, then all the people in the royal family, including the current emperor, were the ones that the King of Wei wanted to "borrow lives from"!

Jiang Li said: "Your Majesty is the true emperor, with dragon energy protecting his body, so evil cultivators cannot get close to him. The easiest targets for him to attack are the little grandchildren."

For example, the youngest son of King Qin.

Shen Muchun nodded: "Yes, the younger he is, the longer his life span can be borrowed."

Jiang Li thought about it and was shocked: "The prince in Concubine De's belly!"

Isn't that the youngest grandson of the emperor?

Xie Changan frowned: "These are all our speculations, without any basis, and we cannot report them to His Majesty in this way."

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "I will make two jade talismans tonight. No matter whether King Wei is the real murderer or not, it is better to be prepared."

Give one piece to Nangong Qinghe and one piece to Cui Jin, protect them first.

If Nangong Yonghe really attacks them, the defensive talisman will be able to severely injure him!

Prince Wei's Mansion.

Nangong Yonghe returned home, his mind was in a state of turmoil, so he had to go find another mirror.

The person in the mirror couldn't suppress his ecstasy: "I must get this girl no matter what! She is actually a pure spirit!"

Nangong Yonghe was surprised: "What is a pure spirit body?"

The person in the mirror said, "She is an immaculate spirit with an extremely pure and transparent soul, loved by all living things in the world. No wonder she can command the Mongolian eagle god!"

"I guess there is no living being in this world who doesn't like her!"

If he could devour this pure spirit, he might be able to break through the void in one fell swoop and return to the world of cultivation!

Nangong Yonghe lowered his eyes. No wonder, his ugly and dirty soul was yearning for her as soon as he saw her.

Who doesn’t like bright and sunny days?

Especially for someone like him who has always been in the dark abyss, he would try his best to grab any ray of light that shines into the abyss!

The next day, Jiang Li went to the palace with dark circles under his eyes to ask for an audience with the emperor.

Nangong Qinghe was quite surprised to see her like this: "Ali, why are you so tired?"

Jiang Li said bitterly, "I have only been away for half a year, and Longmen's account books have piled up like a mountain! I am handling them all by myself, and I am almost dying of exhaustion!"

I worked overnight to make two defensive jade talismans, and almost used up all my spiritual energy.

Nangong Qinghe felt distressed. He thought for a moment and said, "Let the eunuch I sent go help you. He is good at business and has been helping me manage the Li Company."

Jiang Li was overjoyed: "I thank your Majesty for his grace!"

She pulled out a brocade box from her sleeve and said, "I have something to give to Your Majesty."

Nangong Qinghe said happily: "Present it."

Yuanbao stepped forward, took the brocade box, opened it, and saw two aqua-colored jade pendants inside.

Nangong Qinghe smiled and said, "Did you find it in the south again?"

He picked it up and examined it carefully.

Although he didn't know why she gave him the jade pendant, he naturally loved the things given by A'li.

Jiang Li said: "This is a defensive jade talisman that can withstand a full-strength attack from a martial arts master."

Nangong Qinghe was shocked: "Is this... a talisman?"

Jiang Li said sternly: "I have something to report to His Majesty alone!"

Nangong Qinghe was surprised again and waved his hand to let Yuanbao and others leave.

Jiang Li then expressed their suspicions about Nangong Yonghe one by one.

When Nangong Qinghe heard the words "borrowing a life", he couldn't help but frown.

"Your servants have no real evidence, so we can only prepare in advance. These are two defensive jade talismans, one for His Majesty and one for Consort De. Wearing them close to your body will protect Your Majesty and the Crown Prince from danger."

When Nangong Qinghe heard that his unborn baby might be the second target of the murderer, his scalp tingled and he became furious.

"If the King of Wei is the real murderer, I will cut him into pieces!"

Jiang Li apologized, "The above is all my guesswork. If I have hurt the brotherhood between Your Majesty and the King of Wei, I am guilty!"

Nangong Qinghe sighed: "Ari, you are the only one in this world who truly cares about me, and you are the only one who will never betray me!"

"You are so sincere and open to me, how can I blame you?"

Jiang Li's eyes sparkled: "I said before, Your Majesty treats me like a national hero, and I will repay you like a national hero. Your Majesty trusts me so much, I will not let you down!"

Nangong Qinghe lowered his voice and said, "I have discussed with the Queen Mother. After the New Year, the King of Qin and the King of Wei will go to their fiefdoms and cannot return to the capital without being summoned. Regardless of whether the King of Wei is right or not, letting him stay away from the capital and be a rich and idle person is also a good thing for him."

Jiang Li nodded and said, "That's best."

At this time, Zhang Wanwan heard that Jiang Li had entered the palace, and hurried to the imperial study to arrest her.

"Just in time, come and try on the wedding dress!"

It is now less than half a month away from the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Shangfu Department has been working as hard as possible to finish cutting Marquis Jing'an's wedding dress, but the embroidery on the dress has not yet been completed.

Zhang Wanwan was overjoyed when she heard from the palace maid that Marquis Jing'an had entered the palace. It was a good opportunity for her to try the size to see if it fit, and if there was any inappropriateness, there would be time to alter it.

When Jiang Li was brought to Fengyi Palace, she was immediately surrounded by a group of palace maids and maids, who hurriedly took off her official uniform and put on her elaborate wedding dress piece by piece.

Zhang Wanwan saw her helpless expression and laughed, "You're lucky. Because we were pressed for time, many ceremonies were omitted. We have to seriously follow the royal marriage of a princess, and even have several sets of wedding dresses!"

Jiang Li's face fell: "Then I won't get married!"

Zhang Wanwan smiled and said, "Master Xie is so anxious, you said you don't want to marry me? I'm afraid they will come to snatch the bride away soon."

She whispered to Jiang Li, "There are even rumors that you are pregnant. Otherwise, why is Master Xie so anxious?"

Jiang Li's face turned red all the way to her ears: "I didn't!"

The official from the clothing department who was putting on a big red shirt for Jiang Li laughed and said, "Look at the small waist of the Marquis, she is definitely not pregnant."

She didn't dare to say it. When she heard the rumor that Marquis Jing'an was pregnant, she made the waist of her wedding dress a few inches larger.

Jiang Li was so embarrassed that her ears were burning with shame. She gritted her teeth and decided that after leaving the palace, she would find Xie Changan to settle the score!

She put on a bright red silk gown, a jacket embroidered with gold pheasant patterns, and a gold embroidered cloud-shaped shawl. Zhang Wanwan also personally put on a pearl and jade seven-pheasant crown for her. On the top of the crown were a pair of golden phoenixes, holding two long strings of oriental pearls in their mouths, swaying gracefully, which made Jiang Li look even more stunning and beautiful.

The palace ladies and maids present were all stunned. The Marquis of Jing'an, dressed in gorgeous attire, looked like a goddess from myths and legends!

Zhang Wanwan smiled and said, "No wonder Lord Xie is so anxious. If I were a man, I would also want to take you back home and hide you!"

She secretly felt lucky that Jiang Li refused to enter the palace. If she had entered the harem, the emperor would not have cared about anyone else.

I'm afraid that even if she wants the stars in the sky, he will find a way to pick them for her!

Jiang Li's expression was numb: "Are you done?"

Okay, let her out of the palace quickly, there are a lot of things waiting for her outside!

The official from the clothing department circled around her twice and said, "The waist is a little too big, we need to make some changes..."

After trying on the wedding dress, Jiang Li wanted to run away, but Zhang Wanwan pulled her back: "There are also casual clothes and home clothes!"

She also became interested, "Marquis Jing'an looks good in anything he wears, why don't you make a few more sets?"

"Empress, please let me go." Jiang Li said with a sad face.

After finally trying on these extremely complicated clothes, Jiang Li left Fengyi Palace as if escaping.

After leaving the palace, the eunuch had already been notified and was waiting for her respectfully outside the palace gate.

Jiang Li was overjoyed: "I will rely on you more in the future!"

The eunuch bowed and said, "No, no, if you need anything from me, please tell me."

She brought her father-in-law back to Longmen headquarters, threw the pile of account books to him, and went back to the inner courtyard to catch up on her sleep.

When she woke up, it was already time to light the lamps.

Xie Changan heard the noise, opened the curtain, and asked with a smile, "Awake?"

He handed her a cup of warm tea and said, "I heard that the Queen asked you to try on the wedding dress? Does it look good?"

Jiang Li sat up, took two sips of tea from his hand, and said angrily, "I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

Xie Changan asked curiously, "Why did you come to me to settle the score when you went to try on your wedding dress?"

"The Queen said that people outside are saying that I'm secretly pregnant!"

Jiang Li was so angry that he punched him a few times, "It's all your fault!"

Xie Changan laughed and said, "The rumors outside are changing every day. My husband was a eunuch a few days ago, and then he was cured by Doctor Shen, and then you got pregnant. It was faster than lightning."

Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh: "Who spread the rumor?"

Xie Changan smiled: "Maybe the director of the Imperial Observatory? I was wondering, why did he look at me like that that day?"

Jiang Li snorted: "Go and clarify it!"

Xie Changan smiled and said, "Okay. Get up and have dinner."
