When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down

When King Yu was kneeling in the imperial study room and being questioned by his troops, Mu Cang had already arrived at the Jiang family's residence.

The six hundred-mile express letter caused quite a shock in the Jiang family, and Yan Li naturally got the news.

"What is the Kingdom of Jin doing?" Yan Li frowned and looked at Mu Cang, who was standing silently in front of the window, "Does the six hundred mile express come from the border?"

Mu Cang turned around and nodded slowly: "Yes."

Yan Li pondered: "What are your thoughts?"

Mu Cang said in an indifferent voice: "It should be related to the Jin State."

Jin State?

Yan Li pondered for a moment: "You mean, Queen Jiang of the Jin Kingdom secretly went to see the general of the Jin Kingdom on her way here?"

No wonder they walked so slowly, they were going somewhere else halfway.

"She shouldn't go there in person." Mu Cang walked to Yan Li and sat next to him. He picked up a few cases and served tea. "Just send a prince and an envoy to go with him to help negotiate."

Yan Lidan asked: "What is her purpose of doing this?"

"Prevent us from getting married."

Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Mu Cang was silent for a moment and slowly shook his head: "I don't know much about Jiang Yi. I heard the emperor mention it before, and only then did he send someone to investigate the situation of the Jin royal family."

After a pause, he said: "Jiang Yi does not have a biological son of his own."

Yan Li was slightly surprised: "She has been in love with the Emperor of Jin for ten years, but she doesn't have a biological son of her own?"

Mu Cang nodded: "Yes."

Yan Li stood silently, holding the teacup in his hand, and there was deep thought in his eyes: "A lot of things have actually happened in the Jin Kingdom in recent years."

Mu Cang sipped her tea, her voice steady and without waves: "Before this generation of emperors ascended the throne, the Jin State's system of male superiority and inferiority to women was the most stringent among the Nine Kingdoms. Women could not study, go out, or talk to foreign men. If necessary, For reasons of going out, you must wear a hood, cloak, etc. to cover your appearance, otherwise it will be regarded as not abiding by women's moral principles and will be detrimental to your reputation. "

"I will obey you when you are at home, you will obey you when you get married, and you must not resist at all." Yan Li leaned on the brocade couch, "I have vaguely heard of it before."

"After the emperor ascended the throne, this situation has improved a lot." Mu Cang said calmly, "The contribution of the Queen of Jin cannot be ignored, and her ability is obvious to all. She is indeed an admirable woman."

When Yan Li heard him suddenly talking about this, he thought of what he had just said, "The Queen of Jin does not have a biological son of her own." A ridiculous idea came to her mind.

Turning to look at Mu Cang, a clear color appeared in Yan Li's eyes: "Have you guessed her purpose?"

"No need to guess." Mu Cang slowly shook his head, "Given her acting style, this is an inevitable result."

Otherwise, years of hard work will be in vain.

If Jin women want to maintain their elevated status and not continue to be oppressed by men, the Jin queen must find a way to let women take power.

And she has no biological son of her own.

She has done so many things for the Jin State over the years, and since she holds the power, she naturally does not want to make wedding clothes for others.

So taking Yan Li back was the only option.

"Mu Cang." Yan Li's voice was more casual, "I won't say whether to go to the Jin Kingdom or not, but if the Queen of the Jin Kingdom is really firmly opposed to it, and the emperor's special feelings for her are then added to it, the marriage between the two of us will probably be impossible. It’s a bit confusing.”

Mu Cang pursed his thin lips slightly: "Do you want to regret it?"

"Repent?" Yan Li sneered, "If we really regret it, wouldn't it make those with ulterior motives think that we are easy to bully?"

Mu Cang was silent for a moment, his expression visibly relaxed: "As long as you don't object, other people's opinions don't matter."

Yan Li said: "I do have an idea."

Mu Cang raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes deep and calm.

"Fight fire with poison." Yan Li smiled, her delicate eyebrows dyed with a hint of arrogance and wisdom, "Even if I change my body now, my destiny will definitely not allow others to influence it."

Mu Cang said nothing, and just looked at her deeply, with layers of deep and intense emotions in his eyes that could not be concealed.

"Ninth Prince, please pay attention to maintaining your dignity." Yan Li glanced at him casually, "Your eyes don't look like you are treating your fiancée, but like a wolf eager to tear me into pieces."

Mu Cang was startled, then slowly closed his eyes.

...seems a little out of control.

Mu Cang frowned and tightened his grip on the teacup. The familiar pain in his organs swept over him like a river, overpowering him one after another, as if he was being tortured.

"Mu Cang?" Yan Li noticed something was wrong, immediately put down the tea cup, stood up and walked to him, "Has another attack?"

Mu Cang didn't speak, the corners of his lips turned white, and his brows were furrowed. It took him a while to squeeze out two words from between his teeth: "Dagger..."

"Tianshu."

Tianshu stepped out and knelt on one knee.

"He is infected with the heart-eating Gu." Yan Li said, "Give him some acupoints."

Tianshu responded, raised his hand and suddenly met Mu Cang's cold, sharp sword-like eyes, and couldn't help but pause.

"Tianshu will not hurt you." Yan Li's voice was softer, with a hint of comfort, "I don't have enough skills to give you acupuncture."

Mu Cang slowly lowered his eyes, holding back the intense pain in his heart.

Tianshu stretched out his hand and quickly tapped several acupoints on Mu Cang's heart channel.

When his vision went dark, Mu Cang closed his eyes and fell to the side.

Yan Li looked at Mu Cang silently. If he were to be sent back to the palace now, it would definitely cause speculation and uneasiness, but if he continued to stay here, it would be inconvenient.

"When will Mingqi arrive?"

"Mr. Feng has entered the imperial city." Tianshu replied, "He said that there are too many people during the day, so he will come to see the master at night."

Yan Li heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Where is he?"

"Zhuxi Teahouse."

Yan Li then ordered: "Carry him to the bed first."

"Yes."

Yan Li walked into the inner room, stared at Mu Cang in silence for a while, and ordered lightly: "You and Tianxuan stay to look after him, and no one is allowed to enter this room."

"Yes. "

Yan Li turned and walked out, opened the door, and told Nanny An: "Prepare the carriage."

"Yes." Nanny An replied respectfully, "Princess is going out?"

Yan Li hummed: "The Ninth Prince is a little tired, take a rest in the room, don't let anyone go in and disturb him."

"Yes."

In order to save time, Yan Li left the Liuli Courtyard without even changing clothes. On the way, she met several people from the Jiang family with different expressions. She didn't have time to pay attention to them and walked out the door.

All the way to Zhuxi Teahouse, Yan Li ordered a quiet private room, asked for a pot of tea, and then sat in front of the window waiting.

Until a man knocked on the door and came in.

He looked gentle and elegant in a white shirt, but he looked only in his twenties. However, the demeanor between his eyebrows always made people think that he was a fairy who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years.
