"This..." Xue Zhao hesitated. What if it was illegal? He wanted to say that he didn't do everything.

Li Jing seemed to see his dilemma and said, "Everything I ask you to do can be made public."

Anyway, she would not tell him her main purpose.

If she directly said that she was preparing for rebellion, how could anyone agree with her?

"Aren't you investigating why your sister lost her virginity? I know and I can tell you." After thinking for a while, Li Jing said again.

Xue Zhao frowned. He came to Beijing because of his elder sister. He knew his elder sister's character very well. His elder sister was not that kind of person and would never do that kind of thing. In fact, Xue Zhao had already guessed in his heart that his elder sister was framed. The person who framed his elder sister could only be that man.

Xue Zhao asked tentatively: "Is it Shen Yurong?"

Li Jing nodded slightly, then shook her head slightly.

"Yes and no, it was Shen Yurong's mother and sister who framed your sister. Of course Shen Yurong knew about it, but he ignored the fact that his mother and sister did that to your sister.

Originally, this princess was impressed by Shen Yurong's talent and wanted to promote him. She told him that she wanted to test him before considering hiring him, but she didn't expect him to get the wrong idea. I don't know how he got the nerve to think that this princess would be interested in a married man."

Xue Zhao also felt that a normal person would not fall in love with a married man, let alone a princess who was high and mighty. However, Princess Wan Ning seemed a little abnormal. She had a habit of collecting men, but when she showed her disgust for Shen Yurong, it didn't seem like she was faking it.

Li Jing continued, "The Shen family is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. They want to cling to the rich and powerful and gain a good reputation, so they designed to destroy the innocence of the daughter.

They did such a vicious thing, and even acted like the princess forced them to do it, throwing dirty water on me."

That family was really annoying, and she couldn't hide the disgust in their eyes.

In fact, in her eyes, Shen Yurong and his family were just toads. The original owner just used some tricks, and the hypocrite Shen Yurong indulged his mother and sister. He designed to frame his wife who had been with him for many years for adultery. Afterwards, he was worried that his wife's family would find evidence, so he killed his wife and buried the body in order to silence her.

Afterwards, he felt guilty and put all the blame on the original owner.

Xue Zhao did not miss any expression on her face. Princess Wan Ning's disgusted look did not seem to be acted, so she really had no feelings for Shen Yurong?

Xue Zhao was hesitant but still agreed to do something for her in return.

Li Jing released him and she would not imprison him anymore.

Lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, the scene of the original owner being humiliated in Dai Kingdom always appeared in her mind. This memory troubled the original owner, and now it troubles her.

Mo Yuyunjian, the dynasty of the Great Yan Kingdom had only suffered such humiliation as the sheep-leading ceremony during the Northern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the background of the Great Yan Kingdom is based on the prototype of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The economic development of the Great Yan State is quite good now, but it places too much emphasis on culture over military affairs. Due to restrictions on military generals and various factors, its combat effectiveness has been weakened. It had to send hostages to the Dai State in exchange for a ceasefire between the two countries.

The Dai Kingdom here refers to the Northern Song Dynasty, during which the Song Dynasty was bullied by the hostile Jin Kingdom.

The original owner kept turning around out of habit. That was when he was a hostage in the Dai Kingdom and was humiliated by the Dai Kingdom, just like a prisoner, with the ceremony of leading a sheep.

Even though she had not personally experienced that humiliation, just feeling that memory made her want to rush back to Dai and take revenge.

She is now eager to exchange the firearms, avenge the original owner, and destroy the Dai Kingdom to relieve the hatred in her heart.

She blocked out the images in her mind and was able to fall into a peaceful sleep.

The next day, Xue Zhao sent a letter to his family to report that he was safe.

Li Jing thought this was a good idea, as Xue Huaiyuan wouldn't have to suffer from mental breakdown after learning about the death of his daughter and son.

Shen Yurong was unwilling to be toyed with by Princess Wan Ning, so he went to visit her again but was stopped by the guards.

When Li Jing learned that Shen Yurong dared to come to her house to harass her, she naturally would not tolerate him. She asked someone to throw the man away, then had him put in a sack and beaten up.

Xue Zhao: "Your Highness, I am here to say goodbye to you."

Li Jing looked at him in surprise: "Are you going to look for your sister? But do you know where your sister is and which direction she is looking in?"

Xue Zhao frowned and replied, "I promised the princess that I would do something for her. I will send someone to look for my sister. I am a little worried about my family, so I have to go back to Huaixiang County."

He had already thought it through, and would ask questions along the way.

Li Jing smiled and nodded: "I hope you can find your sister soon and reunite with your family. By the way, are you going back to Huaixiang County now?"

Originally, she was thinking that if Xue Zhao went to find Xue Fangfei, they could walk together for a while if it was convenient for them, so that she wouldn't be too lonely.

Xue Zhao: "Let's go now."

After Xue Zhao left, Li Jing also felt that she should speed up her development.

There were many inconveniences living under the emperor's feet. She had paid so much for the Great Yan Kingdom, but her half-brother, Emperor Hong Xiao, still treated her as a pawn and planted many obstacles in her way.

The same thing happened to her brother Cheng Wang, so she had to go somewhere else to start developing first.

What I have to do next is to get killed. If I just rely on modern ideas to open a shop and make money, the development will be too slow. But if I have ready-made goods to sell, it will be much faster.

But the points she had earned from completing tasks in her previous small world were taken away by the system, and her account only had points from completing tasks in the previous small world. She had to keep some points to exchange for blueprints for making firearms, and the blueprints alone were very expensive.

It would be better to open the time-travel channel, go back to the modern era, purchase some modern supplies, put them in the system space, and bring them here to sell.

There is another important thing. Since you have ambitions for that position, you must not have anyone with ulterior motives around you. So you have to clear out the spies around you first. Even Meixiang, the original owner's most trusted personal maid, is not really hers. In fact, Meixiang is the empress dowager's person, who is by her side monitoring everything about her.

She never thought of wasting the loyalty pill on Meixiang. After all, everyone will die of illness one day.

She died of illness, so you can't doubt that she intentionally removed the nail.

Li Jing planned to clean up the people around her who had ulterior motives, and then return to the modern era to purchase items.

On the other side, Xue Fangfei was rescued by Jiang Li from the Chastity Hall and she came to herself.

Xue Fangfei remembered that when Shen Yurong buried her alive, he told her personally that her brother Xue Zhao was dead, killed by robbers. The overwhelming hatred almost drowned her...

In the Princess's Mansion, Meixiang felt extremely unwell in recent days.

"Meixiang, I noticed that you haven't looked very well in recent days. Are you feeling unwell?" Li Jing asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I'm fine." Meixiang forced a smile on her pale face. If she left the princess due to illness, her position would soon be replaced by other maids, and it would be difficult for her to return to serve the princess.

"Don't force yourself if you're not feeling well. I'll give you a few days to get well. Then come back and serve me."

The princess' caring tone made Meixiang feel dizzy and her eyes reddened with emotion: "Thank you for your sympathy, Your Highness. I will recover as soon as possible and return to serve you as soon as possible."

Looking at Meixiang's departing back, Li Jing's mouth corners slightly raised into a beautiful arc.

Meixiang’s illness will probably never be cured.

That's right, she changed her mind. Instead of letting her die of illness, it would be better to let her stay sick and unable to return to her job.

Li Jing had new maids by her side. She gave them new names, Lan Xin and Yue Ying, and fed them loyalty pills.

With a loyal maid by her side, she decided to go back to the modern era to collect some supplies.

Li Jing called out the system.
