Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains

Fortunately, Jiang Li asked Lan Yin to look at Yuchi Feng, which comforted Yuchifeng's heart. He felt mixed at the moment, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.

Lan Yin, on the other hand, had no expression on her face and agreed to Jiang Li's words without any hesitation, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of him."

It was enough to say this. Jiang Li did not embarrass Yuchi Feng anymore and left with Lan Yin.

A few days later, just as Lu Zhan said, the team sending Qin Xiang to get married arrived in Ningcheng.

Naturally, it was not Jiang Li's turn to welcome the princess, but Yue Mingcheng, the prefect of Ningcheng, had full authority to handle it.

Jiang Li felt that she really had no friendship with Qin Xiang, so this matter had nothing to do with her, so there was no need to show up.

It's just that the team that sent Qin Xiang to get married came from the capital. In order to cover up others' eyes, Jiang Li couldn't stay in the Lieyan Army anymore.

So before they arrived in Ningcheng, she went back to Ningcheng's house to stay and rest for two days.

Qin Xiang's heart was as high as the sky, and he finally ended up getting married. It would be shameful for someone like her to come, and most likely he wouldn't want to see Jiang Li either.

In Jiang Li's opinion, she would only stay in Ningcheng for a few days. When the team from Liang Guo to pick up the bride arrived, she would leave Ningcheng as if nothing had happened.

But Jiang Li didn't expect that on the second day after Qin Xiang arrived in Ningcheng, she would take the initiative to come to Jiang Li's mansion to see her.

When Jiang Li heard Ling Lan report that Qin Xiang asked for a meeting, Jiang Li almost thought he had heard wrong.

"What's she doing here? When she's so down and out, the last thing she wants to see is me, right?"

Jiang Li didn't understand, but they had come, and the two of them didn't get to know each other behind closed doors, so Jiang Li still asked someone to invite Qin Xiang in.

This time Qin Xiang came over, and she was not the only one. She was accompanied by several guards and a maid whom Jiang Li had never seen before.

Jiang Li remembered that Qin Xiang's former personal maid was not this person.

The guards sent Qin Xiang to the living room, and then stopped outside the door, guarding him like a door god. His posture did not show the slightest sense of being a guest.

The maid followed Qin Xiang in and bowed politely when she saw Jiang Li.

"I have met Princess Changrong. My princess is now of high status, and this border land is too chaotic, so she has to be protected by someone wherever she goes. It's not that I don't trust Princess Changrong. Please forgive me."

The maid was generous and generous, regardless of whether what she said was true or not, she at least gave Jiang Li an explanation.

Qin Xiang, however, just stood beside her blankly. She looked much thinner than before, and her eyes had no sparkle. If it weren't for her obvious clothing, others would probably think that the maid was a princess at first glance.

Jiang Li smiled playfully, raised his hand and said, "I understand, you're welcome. Sit down."

The maid nodded and helped Qin Xiang sit down.

Jiang Li was about to ask Qin Xiang why he came to her.

After Qin Xiang sat down, he spoke himself, "Although you and I have not grown up together since childhood, we have at least been together in the palace for three years."

"Now that I'm getting married, I don't even have anyone to talk to. You happen to be here, so I came uninvited."

"Jiang Li, you won't ignore me, right?"

Jiang Li:?

Three years of getting along day and night? That's what I said.

If I remember correctly, the two of them have been fighting overtly and covertly in the past three years. The word "getting along day and night" was used, and thanks to Qin Xiang's words, it was not disgusting.

But Jiang Li also saw that Qin Xiang didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, and asked for help when he had something to do.

It was not like she didn't even give her a chance to speak, so she just smiled and said, "The third princess was joking. I welcome you to come over when you are free."

Qin Xiang was a little nervous at first, but it wasn't until she heard Jiang Li's words that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

So then she looked at the maid next to her and said, "Princess Changrong and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I want to have some private words in my boudoir. Just go out and wait for me."

The maid was obviously hesitant, looking at Jiang Li and then at Qin Xiang.

Apparently she had also heard that the relationship between the two was not good, so she was very suspicious of the private words of her confidant.

But after all, she was just a maid, and she couldn't be too disrespectful to Qin Xiang in front of Jiang Li.

So after hesitating for a moment, the maid nodded and said, "Then I'll wait outside."

"Princess, don't eat too much cold fruit. It's rare to come out. If you get sick, you won't have the chance to come out in the future."

It seemed like gentle care, but there was always a hint of threat in his words, and even Jiang Li, an outsider, could hear it.

Qin Xiang naturally understood what he heard, and his face could not help but darken for a moment, but in the end he just nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, I understand."

In this way, the maid turned around and went out with confidence.

Although Qin Xiang obviously just wanted to send his maid away, since he said he wanted to talk privately, he had to pretend to be so.

So Jiang Li also asked his maids to retreat, leaving only her and Qin Xiang in the room.

Jiang Li slightly leaned back on the chair lazily, holding his cheek with one hand, "Tell me, what do you want to ask me for?"

Qin Xiang originally wanted to say a few words for the occasion, but he didn't expect Jiang Li to be so direct and swallowed the pleasantries as soon as they reached his lips.

She looked at Jiang Li steadily and said: "Before... you said that your destiny should be in your own hands. If one day I figure it out, I can come to you."

"Does this still count?"

Jiang Li laughed when he heard this, "Have you hit the wall before you think about turning back? Isn't it a little late?"

"I am not a Daluo god. You are now the emperor who personally decreed the marriage. How do you think I can help you in this situation?"

"Don't say I can't help. Even if I can, it will obviously come at a huge price."

"Qin Xiang, our relationship isn't good enough for me to help you regardless of the consequences, right?"

Qin Xiang has been dependent on others since she was a child, which has developed her low self-esteem and sensitive character, and she also likes to pretend to be aloof.

Jiang Li's words were straightforward. Although he didn't curse, it could be said to be mean.

Qin Xiang's face turned red instantly. In the past, she would have left coldly, but now she obviously understands that she must not leave just because of a few unpleasant words.

...This is her last chance.

So Qin Xiang took a deep breath, raised his eyes, and looked at Jiang Li sincerely, "I know that it's hard for me to be so strong, and I also know that there is no free lunch in the world. There is no reason for you to help me unconditionally."

"But..." She took a deep breath, "But since you kept me here instead of directly rejecting and driving me away, does it mean that there is still room for negotiation?"

"Jiang Li, I have no choice but to leave. You are my last hope."

"As long as you can help me, no matter what you want from me, I can promise you."

"Jiang Li... let me beg you."
