Then she looked at herself in the mirror nervously for a long time.

I repeatedly confirmed that apart from a few dark circles, there were no more pimples on my face, and I felt relieved.

But just as she signaled Liu Xin to put the mirror back, the system's voice rang out.

[Friendly reminder to the host: Due to uncontrollable changes in Li Shu's body, the main system has been affected to a certain extent. The first punishment has already begun.]

"W-what? The first punishment has already started? What is it?"

[This requires the host to ask the one who owns the main system. ]

"I can't even go to the palace now!"

Xie Yu was a little crazy.

However, the system pretended to be dumb to her again.

No matter how she called or asked, she didn't get any response.

That made her lose all desire to sleep even though she was very sleepy after staying up all night.

It was not until Li Shen and Li Xing woke up after sleeping for a few hours and came to her room again that she fell into a deep sleep while pretending to be asleep after pretending to be heartbroken and having no appetite.

That night, in the Grand Princess’s mansion.

Li Shu, who had been waiting for Yin Wanyu to come and summon her all day, finally couldn't sit still and led Qinghong Cuiwei out of the courtyard.

As soon as they left, Cuiwei pointed at the plaque on the courtyard gate and said to her, "Miss, you might not know this, but someone came and hung the plaque before dawn today."

Li Shu looked up when she heard that.

Then I saw the plaque with the words "Lianxinju" written on it.

At this time, a patrol of government soldiers passed by.

Li Shu hurriedly called out to them, "Do you know where grandma is right now?"

The palace guards stopped when they heard the voice and all bowed to her. Then one of them said, "My lady, the princess should be at Young Master Jiang's residence right now."

They are still at Jiang Zhiyu's residence...

Li Shu felt a little guilty again.

After a while, he said, "Can you show me the way? I want to go see my grandmother."

"Of course, please, miss."

The man spoke again and signaled the soldiers beside him to continue patrolling.

Then he led Li Shu and her servant to a quiet courtyard located to the right rear of the Grand Princess's Mansion.

Cuiwei knocked on the gate and someone soon came to answer it.

Seeing that it was Li Shu, the man quickly invited Li Shu in and whispered, "Young lady, you may not know this yet, but Young Master Jiang has been our princess's favorite recently. But he suddenly committed suicide by taking poison last night for unknown reasons. The princess is very sad and has been sitting in his room since last night. We have taken turns to persuade him many times, but it is of no use. We are almost dying of anxiety! If this continues, the princess' body will not be able to bear it! So, young lady, please find a way to persuade the princess no matter what!"

"it is good."

Li Shu responded calmly, but the guilt in her heart deepened several times.

Shouldn't she have just killed the man directly, but instead thought of other ways to prevent the things in the dream from happening again?

Maybe Jiang Zhiyu doesn’t even know Xie Yu right now. As long as we prevent them from getting to know each other, we can avoid what happened in the dream?

However, she then thought that Jiang Zhiyu was sent to the Grand Princess's Mansion by the Emperor for some reason, and she felt that she had not made a mistake in killing him. After all, if one acts with a fluke mentality, nine out of ten times one will fail!

Then she saw Aunt Yaofang.

Before she got close, Aunt Yaofang had already announced her arrival.

Therefore, when she approached, Aunt Yaofang immediately opened the door for her and whispered to her, "Miss, please accompany the princess for a while."

Li Shu nodded, went in, and waited for the person outside to close the door before walking towards Yin Wanyu.

Yin Wanyu was still wearing the cloak she had worn when she parted with her last night, sitting motionless in front of the bed like a sculpture.

Li Shu walked closer, took a deep breath, and prepared herself mentally before looking at the bed.

She thought she would see a hideous corpse.

But I saw that the body was covered with white cloth.

Yin Wanyu just stared at the head of the corpse without blinking.

"grandmother……"

After she called out softly, Yin Wanyu still didn't move, which made her feel even more guilty.

However, she secretly imagined how sad and upset Yin Wanyu must be at the moment, but she heard Yin Wanyu's tone very calm, without any sadness or sorrow: "Ali, do you know, I once thought about keeping my virginity for my late husband, so as not to be ashamed to see my late husband and children in the future. For this reason, the emperor kept forcing me to accept and favor the male favorites he sent, and those people in the royal family kept forcing me to remarry or take in another prince consort. I was so distressed that I wanted to commit suicide.

But someone stopped me and asked if I wanted revenge, saying that only by living could there be hope, while by dying there would be nothing. She also said that she would help me, and then I waited and waited, until my hair turned white, until I lost count of how many lovers I had, how much gossip I endured, but I still saw no hope of revenge, and instead sent away one young man after another who caught my eye..."

Having said this, Yin Wanyu fell silent.

Li Shu didn't dare to breathe too heavily at this time.

Suicide and revenge kept flashing back and forth in my mind.

Who else but the current emperor could force the eldest princess to the point of wanting to commit suicide?

Who else but the current emperor could have made the eldest princess wait for decades without being able to take revenge?

But can I tell her this?

So she racked her brains for a long time before carefully asking, "Is the person who grabbed my grandmother my mother?"

Yin Wanyu did not answer.

Li Shu then asked, "My mother said she would help my grandmother, but she passed away early. Is that why my grandmother hasn't been able to seek revenge yet?"

But Yin Wanyu still didn't answer her.

She didn't ask any more questions.

After an unknown amount of time, Yin Wanyu suddenly said to her, "Actually, it wasn't because of my excessive indulgence that the fish swam in front of you yesterday. I was the one who lured him there."

Li Shu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

The Grand Princess knew what she would do after meeting this man!

Or...

I want to know what this person will do in the future, and I want to know what she will do after meeting this person!

But she wanted to confirm, but the old lady said, "Go back to Lianxinju. I'm here to make sure some people think I've completely given in to male beauty and am heartbroken over this fish's suicide. As for what you want to know and ask, I'll tell you when I can."

The implication was that no matter how much she asked now, it would be useless.

And she is here to make people believe that Jiang Zhiyu committed suicide.

Li Shu took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her thoughts, and bowed, saying, "Grandma's health is the most important thing. Please don't push yourself too much."

*

That night, in the mansion of Marquis Dingbei.

Xu Daijun sat on the edge of Ning Jin's bed with a worried look on his face. He said to Ning Shuyang, who was pacing the room with his hands behind his back, "My Lord, even though the doctors all say that Jin'er is fine and will wake up soon, he's been unconscious since he fell off his horse yesterday. How about...should we send someone to the Grand Princess's residence to bring Li Shu back? Maybe after Li Shu comes back, she can talk to Jin'er and wake him up."
