The grass in the factory should be plucked

After Chu Linfeng's funeral, all the people in Xiaoyao Pavilion were also interrogated and it turned out that they were all remnants of the Dark Door.

After handing over the subsequent matters to the Hangzhou government, Shen Muchun and his fellow apprentices carried the coffin back to Ghost Doctor Valley. Xie Changan then drove the Dragon Palace back to his own mansion together with Jiang Li.

The dragon and the dragon eggs naturally returned to Poyang Lake.

When they heard that brother Dandan would not go back with them, the twins cried for a long time.

Jiang Li coaxed, "In the fall, Mommy will take you to find Brother Dandan. His lake is much bigger than this one, with more fish and delicious hairy crabs!"

The autumn wind blows and the crabs become fat. Thinking of the plump hairy crabs, Jiang Li himself becomes very greedy.

The twins then burst into laughter.

Xie Changan glanced at her with a half-smile: "You just want to go out and have fun, right? The Director General of the General Administration of Commerce is very busy, and he also has to supervise the Mountain God Temple and the Dragon King Temple. I'm afraid he can't spare the time."

Jiang Li chuckled and said, "I have the Dragon Palace. I can be in Tianchi today, Heilongjiang tomorrow, and Poyang Lake the day after tomorrow."

Dandan’s Dragon Palace is a must-have item for home and travel!

Xie Changan became alert. With the Dragon Palace, this little cat could run faster than before. In a blink of an eye, she could travel thousands of miles. He must keep a close eye on her!

It was already late at night when they returned to the mansion. The two of them, each holding a sleeping baby, went straight back to the main courtyard.

Zhen'er and Zhu'er were both shocked to see them come back suddenly. They didn't dare to ask more questions and hurried to report to Aunt Lian.

After Jifeng and Zhufeng recovered their health, they began to travel diligently between Hangzhou and the capital every day, so Aunt Lian and Cui Ai both received letters reporting their safety.

Naturally, Shen Muchun did not dare to tell Cui Ai that he almost could not come back. He only said that his master had passed away suddenly, and he and his fellow disciples would carry the coffin back to Ghost Doctor Valley for burial, and they would return to Beijing as soon as possible after the funeral.

Cui Ai had no suspicions, so she felt relieved and focused on taking care of her pregnancy in Prince Jing'an's mansion.

When Aunt Lian heard that the young lady, her husband and the two babies had all returned, she was so happy that she jumped out of bed and ran from the prince's palace to the duke's palace overnight.

First, I went to see the sleeping twins and kissed their faces. Then I held my big baby, Little Cat, and asked her if she wanted a midnight snack.

"Yes! I want to eat the fried eel noodles made by my aunt!" Jiang Li said coquettishly.

Xie Changan said, "It's late at night. It's too much trouble to make fried eel noodles. Let the kitchen make some midnight snacks. Don't tire Auntie out."

The fried eel noodles are very troublesome to make. You have to cut off the head and tail of the fresh yellow eel, remove the bones and cut it into eel slices, stir-fry them with vegetable oil, animal oil, and drizzle them with sesame oil to make the crispy eel slices.

Then use the original juice to cook the noodles so that the noodles absorb the aroma of the eel, and the juice is thick and the noodles are fresh.

Aunt Lian smiled and said, "It's not a bother, not a bother. My dear little raccoon slave, even if you want to eat dragon meat from heaven, I will find a way to get it!"

Jiang Li was very proud. It was only at this moment that her aunt granted her every request. But when the twins woke up tomorrow, how could her aunt remember her?

She finally got to eat the fried eel noodles she had been craving for.

Xie Changan smiled and said, "After eating the noodles, it will be dawn soon. Are you going to sleep?"

"Sleep! Why not? As long as you and I don't go out, who will know that we are back?"

Jiang Li yawned and crawled into the warm bed.

Xie Changan thought so too, and the two of them happily decided to skip work together today!

Unexpectedly, their whereabouts were exposed by the gale.

Nangong Qinghe received a big piece of news, and hurriedly ordered Yinjiu to ask Jifeng to deliver the letter to Jiang Li.

As a result, Yin Jiu watched helplessly as Ji Feng flapped his wings and dived into the Duke Dingguo's Mansion!

Nangong Qinghe was both amused and confused: "Summon the Prince of Jing'an and the Duke of Dingguo to the palace!"

He was also very curious, how could these two people come back so quickly?

They would travel back and forth on a large eagle. In order to avoid causing disturbances, Jiang Li and his companions would usually first go to a farm outside the capital and then change to a horse-drawn carriage to return to the capital.

Didn’t I hear the report from the East Factory that Prince Jing’an and Duke Dingguo are back?

Jiang Li was sleeping soundly in the mansion, wrapped in a brocade quilt, but was awakened by Xie Changan.

"Little raccoon, wake up!"

Jiang Li pulled up the quilt to cover her head.

Xie Changan had no choice but to pick her up with the blanket and said, "Hurry up, the emperor is calling you!"

Jiang Li was surprised: "Ah? How did His Majesty know that we are back?"

Xie Changan pointed at the window. Jiang Li looked carefully and saw Ji Feng standing in front of the window with a very proud look on his face.

Jiang Li frowned.

Xie Changan handed her the secret letter: "Something happened with the Jurchens."

Jiang Li took a look at the letter and said with a smile: "Prince Rui was assassinated!"

Xie Changan also laughed: "But who did it?"

"Hmm!" Jiang Li yawned loudly, "She's really quick to act."

Xie Changan said: "Hurry up and wash up, the emperor is waiting to see us."

Jiang Li sighed: "Can't you let me take a day off?"

She had to get up, wash and change her clothes, and hurried into the palace without even having time to eat.

Nangong Qinghe was surprised to see Jiang Li with dark circles under her eyes, bowing to him listlessly.

"Ari, when did you come back last night?"

Jiang Li said with a bitter face: "I rushed back overnight. Just as I closed my eyes, His Majesty summoned me to the palace."

Nangong Qinghe could hear her deep resentment and smiled, "Prince Jing'an has made great contributions again. How about I give you three days off?"

Jiang Li was overjoyed and bargained again: "Three days is a little too short, at least seven days!"

Nangong Qinghe was helpless: "I will give you a few days, but the General Administration of Commerce and the follow-up matters of the peace talks cannot be done without A-Li."

Prince Rui was assassinated. Will the Jurchens make a big fuss about this?

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Now that Prince Rui is dead, the Jurchens have settled their affairs. There won't be any more trouble!"

Nangong Qinghe was greatly surprised: "But is this Alibu's plan?"

Isn't it too hasty to kill Prince Rui before the peace treaty is officially signed?

Jiang Li whispered, "This is the letter of surrender submitted by the Jurchen Queen Mother Xiao to the Great Chu!"

It turned out that when Prince Rui reported to Empress Dowager Xiao about the Great Chu's request for the "White Mountains and Black Waters", Jiang Li also sent Qingfeng and Cangsong on fast horses to the Jurchens to convey the intention of cooperation to Empress Dowager Xiao.

She delivered the letter of confession that Prince Rui wrote to Su Mei to Empress Dowager Xiao, and told her everything about how he could not get the love he wanted, so he used someone else to kill someone and harmed the entire Su family.

Do you dare to trust this kind of cruel and ruthless person who may be sweet and affectionate to you today but stab you tomorrow?

Men are unreliable!

If you want your son to secure the throne, it is better to cooperate with Da Chu.

As long as he agrees to the conditions of Da Chu, Prince Jing'an can ask the Dragon King to bless the Jurchen Emperor. As long as the Jurchen people can see that the Ninth Prince is the emperor recognized by the Dragon King, he can sit firmly on the throne.

If the other princes dare to usurp the throne, do you still need to be afraid of their mischief since you have the powerful ally of Da Chu?

Of course, Jiang Li’s additional condition was that she wanted Prince Rui’s life!

Prince Rui actually wanted to kidnap the twins to threaten her, so Jiang Li naturally couldn't let him go.

Empress Dowager Xiao was indeed persuaded by her words.

Prince Jing'an is right!

Men are all unreliable. Nothing is more reliable than the power in one's hands!

So, Prince Rui returned to the Jurchens in disgrace, but was assassinated just as he entered the Jurchen border.
