The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Faced with Shen Li's question, Jia Daoshi did not hide anything and directly recounted the whole story.

After learning that it was the Fifth Prince who sent Hai Dafu to deliberately provoke and cause trouble.

Prince Shen was furious!

"What did you say? These lackeys actually want to sell the sisters to the brothel?!"

As a woman herself, she naturally detested this kind of humiliation of women!

The other party's words and actions not only crossed Jia Daoshi's red line, but also Shen Li's red line!

Unforgivable!

These people not only wanted to kill the men they wanted to sleep with, but also wanted to send their best friends to the brothel!

Absolutely abominable!

Seeing that Shen Li was about to lose her temper, Jia Daoshi had no choice but to step forward and calm her down.

It's fine if you hurl harsh words; even a few more insults from a lackey can make you feel better.

You just can't let yourself get sick from getting angry.

However, it was clear that Shen Li was unable to calm down in a short time. With a cold face, she picked up the Crimson Feather Spear and cursed, "Damn Wu Quan! What kind of bullshit prince is he! He's practically courting death! And these dog lackeys! I'll stab all these scoundrels to death with one spear!"

"Forehead……"

Seeing Shen Li almost going berserk, Jia Daoshi was at a loss for how to calm her down.

Clearly, this woman truly considered him her wife.

He was even more excited than his own wives!

"Ah Li, why don't we go inside and have some tea to calm down?"

Jia Daoshi said with a smile that Shen Li looked rather cute.

"Tea? Very well, I'm a little thirsty."

Shen Li nodded and walked into the house with Yi Qianxiao.

Only then did Lan Biyin, who was behind him, have a chance to greet and talk to Jia Daoshi.

"Brother-in-law, look at what you've done, you've made our Ah Li so anxious." Lan Biyin stepped forward and said irritably, "Such a big thing happened, why didn't you notify us immediately? When our Ah Li found out, she was so angry that she didn't even eat, and she abandoned the defense of Sifang City to come over."

"You should comfort yourself tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi was taken aback: "Senior Sister, you mean... you're not leaving today?"

"If we're about to rebel, why are we still leaving?" Lan Biyin rolled her eyes.

"No, no, Senior Sister, look, we've killed so many of the imperial army's soldiers, and so many days have passed, yet the imperial court hasn't made a single move. Maybe they're scared of us now?" Jia Daoshi said with a smile.

"Hmph! What do you know? The Empress's mind is as deep as the sea, unfathomable. How could you possibly understand what she's thinking?" Lan Biyin snorted, giving her a look that said, "You'll have to figure it out yourself."

"Alright, senior sister, please come in and have some tea too."

Jia Daoshi nodded, clearly seeing that Lan Biyin was still very wary of this empress.

The group went inside.

Yin Xin and several maids had already brought up the tea.

After drinking a few sips of tea to calm their tempers, Shen Li, who had finally regained her composure, frowned and said, "You did a good job of fighting against the imperial army and eliminating the Blood Droplets. However, given the Fifth Prince's temperament, I'm afraid he won't let this go so easily. He's been silent for so long; I wonder what kind of conspiracy he's plotting!"

"Yes, this matter is indeed very troublesome. I wonder if Prince Shen has any new information or instructions for coming here?" Jia Daoshi picked up his teacup, took a slow sip, and asked with a smile.

Shen Li slammed her hand on the coffee table beside her, her face full of domineering authority: "No news, no instructions. The only thing we can do now is either leave Da Jing directly, or rise up in rebellion and overthrow this damned court! Who cares about this empress or not!"

"Huh? Ah Li, you are the Prince of Zhenbei of the imperial court, how can you rebel so easily?"

Yi Qianxiao winked at Shen Li.

"Hmph! You know perfectly well what I'm asking!" Shen Li rolled her eyes, but her face inexplicably turned a little red.

“My lord, it’s clear that A-Li is deeply in love with you. Why not arrange the marriage today and create a happy union? Even if we rebel against the Empress in the future, we will have no regrets!” Yi Qianxiao said with a smile.

"Qianxiao, why... why do you have to bring up something so sensitive?" Shen Li's face turned even redder!

"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Jia Daoshi said solemnly. "Ali, you and I have faced life and death together many times, so why don't we..."

"This matter is not urgent!"

Just then, Shen Li suddenly interrupted him.

“My current identity is that of the Prince of Zhenbei in the imperial court. The Empress still trusts me, and by staying in the court, I can obtain a lot of information. But once… once I marry you, the Empress will inevitably lose trust in me, and it will be very difficult for me to obtain more information…”

"No matter what, I can't stand by and watch you be suppressed by the imperial court!"

Shen Li finished speaking with a blush on her face.

After hearing her words, it wasn't just Jia Daoshi who was moved.

Even Di Qinglin, Weng Changting, and Murong Jiu were moved.

Shen Li's understanding of the manor is definitely not as extensive as theirs.

But now, the entire manor is going to fight against the powerful Great Jing Dynasty. Instead of severing ties, she is determined to betray the court and stand on the same side as them, disregarding everything she has now!

This alone completely won over Di Qinglin and Murong Jiu's hearts.

The last remaining sliver of hope in my heart vanished!

"Ah Li! I, Jia Daoshi, will never let you down in this lifetime!"

Jia Daoshi stepped forward, took Shen Li's hand, and said with a moved expression.

"Hey! What are you doing! There are so many people watching!" Shen Li was suddenly startled by this, and she became flustered, her face turning red to the roots of her neck.

The women around them covered their mouths and chuckled.

Lan Biyin's face broke into a smile of motherly satisfaction.

"Actually, I've long had my complaints about the current court. Since the Empress came to power, the factional struggles in the court have become increasingly fierce. Putting aside the struggle for the throne among the nine princes, the Grand General Ming's interference in politics, the mercenaries' self-importance, the downfall of the Grand Tutor, and the Twelve Eunuchs' factionalism and suppression of dissidents have all contributed to the chaos in the court. This Dajing is no longer the Dajing it used to be!"

Shen Li sighed.

Jia Daoshi recalled that when he was in Jinling, Jiangnan, the local city lord's mansion dared not interfere in the struggles of the martial arts world, which was obviously abnormal.

"Is the imperial court really beyond saving?" Yi Qianxiao couldn't help but ask.

"The current court is only maintaining a semblance of peace on the surface. As for the internal situation, it is indeed in chaos! After the late emperor passed away, the empress ascended the throne, which greatly displeased a group of conservatives. Moreover, the empress's mind does not seem to be on politics, which has given the court an opportunity to be corrupt. In addition, several princes are also coveting the throne. The Great Jing Dynasty has already begun its decline!"

Shen Li nodded and said, "Just a few days ago, I heard that the crops in the west failed due to the continuous high temperature and scorching sun. The imperial court also conscripted people for military service, which led to a riot by a Taoist priest. The local magistrate was killed! It is said that the slogans shouted at the time were something like, 'The blue sky is dead, the green sky shall rise, the year is Jiazi, the world will be blessed.'"
