The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

As she turned her head in embarrassment, her cheek just brushed against the tip of his nose.

The warm touch made Li Jinyuan hum softly in a very good mood.

Jiang Li's cheeks were still blushing, and she looked indescribably charming.

Seeing the girl pursed her lips and remained silent, Li Jinyuan gently kissed the palm of her hand covering her lips. The warm and soft touch startled her so much that she immediately withdrew her hand with a look of reproach.

"It would be bad if others knew that Lili and I slept in separate beds."

Jiang Li's curled eyelashes lightly concealed her eyes. He was right.

If I go to Song Zhe to ask for another mattress, he will definitely think too much.

"Okay then, but... you have to put your clothes on!"

The girl turned around to look at the man, her eyes inadvertently sweeping across his exposed sexy collarbone, and she immediately looked away in shock.

"it is good."

He agreed so easily that Jiang Li was surprised for a moment.

Are you so easy to talk to? ...

……

On the bed covered with gauze,

Two shadowy figures hugged each other tightly.

Jiang Li opened her eyes wide, and all she saw was the ravine of his chest muscles exposed by his slightly open collar.

How can I sleep here...

The girl who usually fell asleep as soon as she fell into bed was rarely sleepy. The man's crisp cedar scent wrapped around her tightly, keeping her nerves tense.

Li Jinyuan's chin rested lightly on the girl's black hair. Feeling the stiffness of the delicate body in his arms, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"Lili, can't you sleep?"

"Um……"

The little girl responded muffledly. From his perspective, he could only see the tips of her red ears.

"Then let's not sleep and do something else."

The big hand withdrew from the slender waist, and the next second, he moved down along the curve of the waistline. The numbing sensation wherever it touched made Jiang Li suddenly press his hand.

Something else! What was it? ...Could it be what she was thinking?!

"No! No...I can sleep."

The little girl's head shook like a rattle, and the furry top of her hair rubbed against his chin, and the itchy feeling in his heart made him feel a surge of desire.

He placed his big hand on her waist again and patted it gently as if to comfort her.

A hoarse and suppressed voice came from above her head, which made Jiang Li relax.

"Be good, go to sleep..."

Perhaps the man's intimidation just now worked, and soon, the girl's shallow breathing was heard.

Li Jinyuan pressed his thin lips against the furry top of her head, his phoenix eyes filled with lust so thick it was frightening.

"Baby, sleep well..."

……

On the other side, the capital.

Li Junlin held the pen in his right hand, leaned forward slightly, and the thick black ink left a few powerful and vigorous characters on the rice paper.

Ji Qingwan stood beside him, holding the ink stick in both hands, carefully grinding the ink on the inkstone.

"Report!"

The man did not look up, nor did he stop his hands.

"Enter."

A man in dark-colored tights walked over quickly and knelt on one knee.

"Your Highness, there is a letter from Xue Yi."

The man paused, then a dark light flashed across his gloomy eyes, and he continued to practice calligraphy.

"explain."

The man glanced at Ji Qingwan who was standing next to Li Junlin. Such a secret letter should not have been presented by an outsider, and moreover, it was a woman who had an unclear relationship with the Third Prince.

Li Junlin didn't hear the sound, but immediately understood his subordinates' concerns.

He glanced at Ji Qingwan with a half-smile, and scared her so much that the ink stick in her hand almost fell onto the inkstone.

"Nothing, Wanwan won't say anything nonsense, right?"

Ji Qingwan nodded in panic. The man in front of her was so terrifying. How could she dare to disobey him?

"My daughter is going to marry the prince soon, so she is naturally his person and will definitely not do anything to hurt him!"

Li Junlin didn't say anything, his thin lips always curled up in an elusive smile.

"Go ahead."

The subordinate lowered his head and then spoke out the contents of the secret letter.

"The bandits' operation in the wild mountains failed, but no one was left alive to fall into the hands of the Third Prince."

Li Junlin's face darkened, and he continued to write with the pen, but his strength was obviously greater.

This was all within expectations. If just a few bandits could take Li Jinyuan's life, he wouldn't have needed to fight with them for so many years.

"Anything else?"

"And..." The subordinate thought about it again and felt that this matter was also important.

"And then there's the matter of the Third Princess."

Upon hearing the sound, Ji Qingwan paused. What kind of waves could that good-for-nothing make?

"The Third Princess comforted the affected people in Changzhou. Not only did they not riot as we had anticipated, they even collected the relief grain distributed by the court in an orderly manner."

"Also, according to reports from our spies within the Imperial Guards, the Third Princess has devised a method to control the rabbits. She's currently implementing it with the Fourth Prince, and the results are...very good."

Li Junlin applied force to the tip of his pen, and the next second, a large ink stain appeared on the rice paper.

"Li'er...?"

"How can it be!"

The two people on the platform spoke at the same time, but one of them was full of speculation, while the other was full of disbelief.

Ji Qingwan realized his loss of composure, then pretended to be calm while holding the ink stick and smiled reluctantly.

"Could it be that they are mistaken? Jiang Li is just an unlearned grass... How could a young lady from an aristocratic family understand so many strategies and ideas?"

The suspected subordinate straightened his expression and spoke in a firm tone.

"No, the spies and Xue Yi in the imperial guards saw it with their own eyes, it can't be fake."

Ji Qingwan still couldn't accept it. When she wanted to turn around and persuade the man, she saw him staring at the waste rice paper in front of him in a daze.

The woman's expression froze. It was obvious that she had lost her consciousness due to Jiang Li.

The long nails pierced into the palm of her hand fiercely. On the night of the palace banquet, both men surrounded Jiang Li, and the sense of crisis that she had deeply ignored came over her again.

This vixen, using just a little trick to harass two men makes them follow her!

No... Whether it's the Third Prince or the First Prince, she can't let Jiang Li get it!

A hint of viciousness flashed across the woman's beautiful eyes. Changzhou was in such a mess, with bandits rampant. If she was "accidentally" raped, would any man still be willing to even look at her?

A malicious seed took root in her heart, and then it sprouted and grew wildly at a speed faster than the speed of lightning, fiercely occupying her mind.

Li Junlin was still lost in his thoughts. Before he knew it, Jiang Li seemed to have not contacted him for a long time, nor had anyone sent him a message...

His thin lips were tightly pursed, and an inexplicable sense of emptiness and panic filled his heart.

Ever since the night of the palace banquet, she seemed different...

She was stunningly beautiful, she shone brilliantly on stage with dignity, and, now in Changzhou, she was incredibly intelligent...

No matter how you look at it, these things don't seem like something a fool could do...

So, she had been hiding herself before?
