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

Jiang Li was pulled by Qin Jue to walk a certain distance, and then he held him back, "Don't walk so fast, I can't keep up."

Jiang Li's hand was very warm. When he held it with his backhand, Qin Jue felt a warm touch. He suddenly let go as if he had been burned.

But Jiang Li did not let go. Instead, he walked a few steps quickly, walked side by side with him, and naturally held hands with him.

"I asked Lan Yin to prepare breakfast before I came out. We can have it when we get back. You came just in time."

Qin Jue was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look down at the hands held by the two of them.

The last time someone held his hand like this was when he was seven years old. The old woman who took care of him was afraid that he would fall.

Later, the old grandma died in the winter when he was seven years old.

From then on, he was alone.

He was stunned when he suddenly felt Jiang Li holding his hand and rubbing the back of his hand a few times.

[Oh, these hands are really good, long and slender, with well-defined joints... It’s just that the work is a bit rough, but it’s not a big problem. You can just take care of it in the future. 】

[Hehe, it looks so good. I have to touch it. 】

Qin Jue: "..."

Suddenly all the complicated emotions in my heart were swept away.

He withdrew his hand expressionlessly. Under Jiang Li's surprised gaze, he said calmly, "I have many calluses on my hands. Don't scratch the princess's delicate hands."

Jiang Li:...?

What's this weird thoughtfulness about... Why do you always feel like there's a bit of a yin and yang in you?

She glanced at his hand again with a little regret, and comforted herself, "It's okay, you can touch it as you like when you get married." 】

Qin Jue lowered his eyelids, and a coldness flashed in his eyes. When they get married...that means he can leave the palace, and she will no longer be of use.

The two of them arrived at the entrance of Jinghe Palace, and Lan Yin, who had been waiting, came out immediately, "Princess!"

After saying that, seeing Qin Jue also there, I couldn't help but take a look at him... He was still that thin and pitiful little guy. It was hard to imagine how he survived from those people last night.

Seeing Lan Yin's gaze, Qin Jue paused and said calmly, "I won't go in. Princess, doesn't she want someone to bring me food? I'll just take it back myself."

Jiang Li wasn't angry either, he just looked at him calmly and said, "Why are you so reluctant to let you have breakfast with me?"

Although her expression was calm, Qin Jue could feel that she... seemed angry.

There was silence for a moment, and then Qin Jue finally entered the gate of Jinghe Palace.

Only then did a smile appear on Jiang Li's face, and he took a few steps to catch up, "Look, if you ask me to say that you are too rigid, you should accept more kindness from others no matter what!"

Qin Jue walked in front, twitching the corners of his mouth in a mocking manner... In terms of uncertainty, no one could compare to her.

Although Lan Yin only prepared breakfast for Jiang Li, it was very rich and enough for two people.

This was Qin Jue's second visit to Jinghe Palace, and his mood was completely different.

During the meal, he was quiet the whole time and had no intention of talking to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li, on the other hand, put down his chopsticks after eating a few mouthfuls. He put his chin in one hand and asked him, "Aren't you going to ask me what happened with Lu Zhan?"

Qin Jue paused while picking up vegetables and replied without raising his head, "Am I qualified to ask?"

"The relationship between you and me is just a cooperative relationship, and like you said, you are the leader."

"Don't say that I'm not qualified to ask about your affairs. Even if I were... you know that I don't like you at all. Why should I make it difficult for myself and pretend to care about you?"

The smile on Jiang Li's face continued, "Really? But why do I feel that what you said is a bit sour?"

"...You feel wrong."

Jiang Li suddenly laughed even harder, "Not bad, very aware."

"I thought you men, whether you like it or not, couldn't accept your wife being unfaithful to you."

"I feel relieved to see you are so aware. Men, you have to be generous. As for us women, it is inevitable for us to occasionally have fun outside. You can't worry about such a trivial matter!"

Qin Jue: "..."

He subconsciously exerted force with his fingers and almost broke the chopsticks in his hand.

But Jiang Li continued to say, "But I have double standards. I can make fun of things outside, but you can't."

"My things are mine, and my people can only be mine. If you dare to act around outside... maybe even just for fun, that's not okay, you know?"

As she spoke, she lightly tapped her fingers on the back of Qin Jue's hand, "I especially like your hands. If you dare to touch other women with them, I will chop them off."

Qin Jue couldn't help but glance at Jiang Li.

She was smiling, but... what she said made people feel creepy, especially when he didn't think she was joking at all.

She could make such an outrageous request so confidently.

Qin Jue looked at her deeply, "What if someone else touches me?"

Jiang Li tilted his head, then smiled softly, "Then I'll cut off her hand."

Qin Jue: "..."

What a lunatic.

Qin Jue felt that he had lost his appetite, so he put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full."

Just as he was about to stand up, Jiang Li pressed him on the back of his hand, "Now that we are full, we should do some serious business."

She suppressed her smile and raised her chin towards him, "Take off your clothes."

Qin Jue: "..."

He had been fed too much strange information by her this morning, and he had been holding back until now he finally felt a little annoyed.

"I just told Lu Zhan that I could come to you at any time, and now I'm asked to take off my clothes...Jiang Li, are you that hungry? Do you just need a good-looking man?"

The smile between Jiang Li's eyebrows faded a bit. He wasn't angry or explained. He just looked at him and asked, "Are you going to take it off or not?"

"If I don't take it off, next time I see Lu Zhan, I might be fascinated by the beauty and tell the truth about seeing you in the Royal Garden last night."

Qin Jue stared at her, "Liar, you didn't see me at all last night."

He did see Jiang Li, but he was sure that he was hiding well and there was no way Jiang Li could see him.

Sure enough, Jiang Li nodded calmly, "I didn't see it, but I know you must have been there at that time."

She said very confidently, "Of course it doesn't matter whether you saw it or not. What's important is that if I say I saw it, then I saw it. Is your cold palace unable to withstand careful inspection?"

Apart from anything else, he was definitely reluctant to throw away the murderous dagger. It was his only tool for self-protection.

Now no one suspects Qin Jue, and although the queen, the instigator, knows it, she dare not reveal anything because she is worried about getting burned.

But once Jiang Li said that he saw Qin Jue, the imperial guards would definitely not let go of this clue. By then... nothing would be hidden.
