"It was around seven or eight days after I entered the Grand Princess's residence that I was told that my brother's mission was to find an imperial edict from the late emperor..."

"The late emperor's edict?"

Li Shu suddenly became energetic.

Jiang Zhiyi nodded and said, "It is said that my brother once sent a message to the palace, saying that he had a clue and might find the imperial edict soon. But the day after that message was sent to the palace, my brother suddenly died..."

Li Shu's mind was slightly shaken.

So if she had not decisively asked Lin Yuan to kill Jiang Zhiyu, Jiang Zhiyu might have helped the emperor find the imperial edict?

When the late emperor was alive, my grandmother was the princess most favored by him, so the edict that the late emperor gave to my grandmother must have been unusual!

I'm afraid that the only reason my grandmother can live safely until now is because she has that imperial edict in her hand!

"When I knew all that, I didn't realize I had used the Reverse Love Gu. It was because I was deeply troubled by the feelings I had developed for the murderer of my brother that I didn't consider that my brother might not have committed suicide, let alone look for the so-called imperial edict. So after worrying for a while, I sent a message to the palace, saying that I loved the Grand Princess and couldn't complete the mission. I was free to kill or chop her up as I pleased. Then, when someone came to kill me that night, I realized that I had developed feelings for the Grand Princess because I had used the Reverse Love Gu..."

After a pause, Jiang Zhiyi said, "This is all I have learned since I was found by the Emperor's people."

Li Shu nodded. "Lin Yuan will arrange for people to protect your people later. As for you... I'll have to ask my grandmother before making arrangements."

Jiang Zhiyi pursed his lips and said nothing more.

After entering the Grand Princess's mansion that day and seeing the Grand Princess herself, he couldn't believe that the Grand Princess, who was over fifty years old, could actually look so young.

Moreover, the eldest princess was completely different from what he had imagined.

He is good at swordplay.

Whenever the Grand Princess summoned him to serve, she only asked him to dance with the sword and nothing else.

And when he forced himself to seduce and tease her in order to complete the task, she just gently said that there was no need to force it, and that it would be fine...

Thinking of this, his heartbeat became a little chaotic. Jiang Zhiyi looked up at Lin Yuan and asked, "Did you really draw out the love poison in my body?"

Lin Yuan nodded.

Jiang Zhiyi became even more upset.

Then why did his heart beat faster when he thought of the Grand Princess?

Li Shu roughly guessed what Jiang Zhiyi was thinking from the confusion on his face, but she didn't say anything immediately. She asked Jingzhe to come in and take Jiang Zhiyi away. Then she whispered to Lin Yuan, "Grandma is so beautiful, it's not surprising that Jiang Zhiyi would fall in love with her."

Lin Yuan took the booklet from her and added, "The young lady is even more beautiful."

Li Shu's face flushed and she glared at him unhappily.

But he smiled and turned around to put the book away.

Then he returned to her side and said, "I have carefully studied the love Gu extracted from Jiang Zhiyi's body. It is very powerful and must have been raised by a master of raising Gu. After it leaves the human body, its influence on the person will not disappear immediately. It will take some time. If Jiang Zhiyi still says that he likes the eldest princess after ten days or half a month, then he is truly moved."

"That's it..."

Li Shu nodded, thinking that things like Gu are really scary!

Half an hour later, Li Shu sat in Yin Wanyu's bedroom.

Yin Wanyu felt lazy and listless today.

But her face was rosy and her whole body exuded a very seductive charm.

There are a few eye-catching red plum blossoms around the neck...

Li Shu was not a virgin, so she naturally knew what those meant.

So much so that after sitting opposite Yin Wanyu, she was a little afraid to look at Yin Wanyu.

Afraid of revealing more embarrassing traces.

Unexpectedly, Yin Wanyu laughed and teased her, "Look at how immature you are. Ning Jin can't do it!"

"Cough cough!"

Li Shu was holding the teacup and sipping it in small sips, and she choked when she heard those words.

But Yin Wanyu continued, "Your mother passed away early, so no one has told you yet. If a couple's sexual intercourse is not harmonious, even if there are no other women involved, problems will arise sooner or later. When you and that little secret guard finally get married, don't neglect them too much."

"Grandma!" Li Shu's face flushed, but she blurted out, "I'm not neglecting Ning Jin! He's the one who always quarrels with me because of Xie Yu, and I'm not in the mood to be with him..."

Li Shu didn't say the rest.

Yin Wanyu smiled knowingly before letting her go. "You came so suddenly today, is there something wrong?"

Li Shu nodded, and after calming herself down, she told Lin Yuan about how she smelled the scent of Gu from Yin Wanyu, how she rescued Jiang Zhiyi when she visited Yin Wanyu's house at night, and her conversation with Jiang Zhiyi today.

After hearing this, Yin Wanyu was silent for a long time.

Finally, he sighed deeply and said, "That imperial edict was given to my eldest brother by our father."

Li Shu was slightly stunned.

Grandmother's eldest brother?

Did she hear that the late emperor's eldest son died before he was a month old?

As if guessing what she was thinking, Yin Wanyu continued, "My eldest brother's biological mother was a jianghu person. She didn't want to marry into the royal family and never have freedom again. My father had originally agreed with her that after she gave birth to my eldest brother, he would send her away from the capital. He also promised that he would bring my eldest brother to see her often in the future. But when she was about to give birth, my mother plotted against her. She gave birth to my eldest brother with her last breath and then passed away.

As my eldest brother was born after being suffocated in her womb for too long, his body was very weak. At that time, my father still needed to rely on my mother's family for help. He knew that my mother could not tolerate my eldest brother and he could not protect him, so he found a baby's corpse and announced to the public that my eldest brother had died of illness. He secretly sent my eldest brother to his grandfather.

According to the emperor, the eldest brother is very much like her mother and loves freedom just like her mother, but he is luckier than her mother. He met a chivalrous woman and had a son. The three of them work together to fight for justice and are very happy. The emperor said that he had seen the child and said that the child looks very much like his grandmother, but his personality and talents are like his. He is a more suitable candidate for the crown prince than the current emperor. The imperial edict is to let the child return to the capital to recognize his ancestors and to make him the crown prince.

But after the imperial edict came into my hands, before I could send it out, my father suddenly fell seriously ill. At the same time, several succession disputes broke out. The situation was very grim. Because my eldest brother might not be willing to let the child return to recognize his ancestral roots and take on important responsibilities, after weighing the pros and cons, I chose to hide the imperial edict and let my son-in-law leave the capital to rescue the current emperor and help him become the crown prince..."

Having said this, Yin Wanyu's face showed deep regret.

She knew she was wrong.

But it was the only option at the time.

Otherwise the court would be in complete chaos.

If the imperial court is in chaos, the people will suffer greatly.
