Chapter 105 Troubles

That night, Yan Li lay on the bed and kept thinking. Her mind was full of thoughts and she couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.

Rebirth in Yan Li was just a coincidence. She originally thought that she would make the best of it, get used to this body, seek justice for Yan Li, and use the time to exercise her skills and slowly get in touch with Tianshu and others.

When the time is right, she will still return to the South Country with her original identity.

However, she only realized now that she thought things were too simple. Mu Cang was not in her plan. If the emperor wanted to give her a marriage, her purpose of marrying Mu Cang was just to get a strong backer temporarily.

Then after tonight, she has deeply realized that provoking Mu Cang means that she will be closely involved with Mu Cang for the rest of her life.

This made her feel a little troubled.

Love was not in her life plan, and her identity and responsibilities did not allow her to indulge in love affairs. But now that she has come to this situation, it seems that she has no choice but to advance or retreat.

Yan Li sighed softly, put her hands behind her head, and thought about how to get along with Mu Cang after getting married.

Be a real couple? Obviously it is unlikely, because this body is not hers, and she is too young, she can't get over it.

Go their separate ways in the future? Mu Cang probably won't agree.

So when she returns to the South Country in the future, what will Mu Cang do? The war god prince who defends the country of Mu Country can't follow her to the South Country.

But looking at Mu Cang's reaction tonight, he is indeed very persistent with her.

Yan Li sighed, shouldn't the cold and ruthless war god Ninth Prince be cold and murderous and disdainful of feelings?

After so many days of rebirth, whether facing the bullying and abuse of the Jiang family, or the difficulties of the queen in the palace and the noble ladies outside the palace, Yan Li is at ease, but for Mu Cang... tonight is the first time she feels troubled.

This night, Yan Li rarely sleeps.

But no matter how hesitant she was, she had to live her life. The imperial decree had granted the marriage, and Mu Cang insisted on the marriage. She couldn't just abandon him after she had used him.

So she had to get married.

The next morning, Yan Li slept until the sun was high in the sky. He thought that since he had insomnia last night and had nothing to do today, it was reasonable for him to have a good sleep. However, after getting up, she heard Nanny An report: "Miss Jiang has come three times this morning."

Yan Li paused as she got up, then sat up from the bed slowly and asked casually: "What is she doing here?"

Nanny An guessed: "It may be related to the prince."

Yan Li nodded slowly, thinking of the deposed queen in the palace, and silently hummed. Jiang Jingyue should be anxious indeed.

The deposed queen meant that the prince's position was in danger, and it was impossible for the son to be noble because of the mother. If the queen could not be restored to the throne, the prince's status as the legitimate son would not be preserved, and then he would lose the advantage of the legitimate son of the central palace in the future competition.

Even though his grandfather was a vassal king, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. The fourth prince has the help of the Gu family, and his limelight can completely overshadow him.

Even the sixth prince has a greater advantage than him.

Jiang Jingyue finally got the position of the crown princess, how can she not be anxious?

Just as Yan Li had this thought in his mind, a maid came in from outside and knelt down to salute: "Princess, Miss Jiang is here again."

Yan Li raised an eyebrow: "Doesn't she have to learn the rules today?"

She came so many times in the morning, it seems that she is very idle.

Nanny An smiled and replied: "I heard that Nanny Yan is on leave today, and Nanny Li is on duty at night, so Miss Jiang should be able to rest for a day today."

Okay.

Yan Li had not paid attention to Jiang Jingyue for a few days, and did not have any special reaction to her arrival this time, just said: "Since she is here, let her in."

"Yes."

The maid came in to help her change clothes and wash up. Yan Li ignored Jiang Jingyue who followed the maid in, washing, changing clothes, dressing up, drawing eyebrows... one by one, in an orderly manner.

Jiang Jingyue was waiting outside the screen. After more than ten days of discipline, her face was pale and haggard, her skin was dull, and there were dark circles under her eyes. Her eyes no longer had the luster they once had.

On the other hand, Yan Li was radiant after drawing her eyebrows and putting on makeup. Her small face was exquisite and noble, bright and dazzling. In comparison, Jiang Jingyue was made even more dull.

After finishing her makeup and eyebrow drawing, the maid prepared breakfast for Yan Li.

Yan Li did not like extravagance, so the breakfast was simple, a serving of bird's nest porridge and a serving of steamed dumplings.

Yan Li came over and sat down at the table, saying indifferently, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Cousin." Jiang Jingyue pulled a pale smile at the corner of her mouth, "I didn't know about the Eighth Princess coming to the mansion two days ago. I only heard my mother mention it last night. I'm sorry that you have been wronged."

Yan Li lowered her head and ate a mouthful of bird's nest porridge, saying indifferently, "It's over, I don't take it to heart."

"Then..." Jiang Jingyue lowered her head and said dryly, "Can you go to the palace to plead for the Queen and the Eighth Princess?"

Yan Li sneered, "The Queen is not my person, why should I plead for them?"

Jiang Jingyue's expression tightened, "Didn't you just say..."

"I don't bear grudges with them because I don't want to make myself feel bad." Yan Li interrupted her, "But I don't have the heart to repay evil with virtue. You came to the wrong place today. If you want to plead for them, you should go to the palace to ask the emperor in person, or let your grandfather come forward. Maybe the emperor will consider pardoning the queen for the sake of the high prestige of the Grand Tutor."
