Yan Li looked at her for a moment and felt that there was no need to talk to her.

What else can you say to a woman who has lost her magic and has no use value?

Yan Li turned and left the prison.

In the heavily guarded prison, the prisoners all wore heavy shackles on their feet. The prison door was made of solid black iron. There were dangerous traps everywhere on the way out of the prison. Even the most ordinary jailers were carefully selected young soldiers.

The prison was guarded by many elite soldiers. If you enter here, most of you will die unless you have a real grievance and can eventually get the person who rebelled.

After leaving the prison, the torches held by the officers and soldiers were so bright that they were a little dazzling.

Yan Li subconsciously raised his head to cover his eyes. When his eyes touched the man waiting in the prison, his footsteps paused slightly.

A gorgeous black dress shone brightly under the firelight, her body was stern and her demeanor was cold. The firelight made this dignity and coldness particularly strong, as if there was a sense of disharmony.

Yan Li raised the corner of her mouth slightly and walked out slowly: "Mu Cang."

Mu Cang looked at her, his expression was calm, but his eyes were so gentle that people were addicted: "Are you done talking?"

"Yes." Yan Li walked forward and naturally took up her arms, "Let's go back to the princess's mansion."

The soldiers saluted and sent the eldest princess and her husband off.

...

This day was thrilling.

Back at the Princess's residence, the housekeeper handed over a stack of cards: "These are the invitations and visiting cards sent by various families when the Princess entered the palace just now."

Yan Li flipped through them casually: "This palace has been very busy recently. There are too many things to deal with in the court. I don't have time to see guests or go to guests."

"Yes." The housekeeper replied respectfully, "I'll go and tell you right away."

Yan Li hummed and walked towards Guihuang Courtyard.

The smell in the sky prison was not good, so it was natural to bathe and change clothes again when she returned to the mansion.

After finishing the work, Yan Li finally relaxed her body and leaned lazily on the brocade couch.

"Tired?"

Yan Li drank a sip of tea and shook her head slowly: "I'm not tired, but there have been too many things happening recently, and I always feel like I'm on the go."

In fact, she has never really rested since she set foot on the territory of Jin last year.

There are people constantly making trouble in the court, either conspiracy or open conspiracy, and there is no time to stop.

"I won't be so busy anymore." Mu Cang stood in front of the window. "Once the dust settles, I will just be a crown prince, build good relationships with the ministers in the court, cultivate my own young forces, promote loyal and capable ministers, and let the Jin court slowly develop in the direction you want - this process should take three to five years."

As the emperors of all dynasties said, it is easy to conquer a country but difficult to rule it.

Conquering a country mostly relies on military force, but ruling a country requires both civil and military skills and careful planning.

All reform plans need to be infiltrated bit by bit, relying on time, not a tough period.

Yan Li closed her eyes and said lazily, "I want to take a good rest for a few days."

Mu Cang glanced at her sideways, his eyes fell on her face: "Do you want to go to the northern border?"

"I don't want to go for the time being." Yan Li sighed, "From Mu State to Jin State, and from Jin State to the South State... The journey is more tiring than fighting. I have wasted a month on the road. Let me rest for a while." Tianlai said.com

Mu Cang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and couldn't help rubbing her head: "Okay."

"By the way, even if I want to be quiet, I may not be able to do so." Yan Li pondered for a moment, "Jia He intends to meet with the Queen Mother of Zhao State. If there is a fate between you, then I still have to go there in person for the marriage between the two countries. "

Mu Cang said: "Do you want me to send someone to check on this Zhaoguo Queen?"

"Check what?"

"It's good to know more about her situation, abilities, temperament and preferences." Mu Cang's eyebrows deepened slightly, "Marriage is a major event in life after all. If you take a wrong step, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Yan Li was silent, thinking of Jiahe who was far away in the South, and a trace of melancholy appeared in her heart: "Jiahe relied on me, the imperial sister, the most in the past. If it weren't for the accident, she would have been under my protection all her life."

However, life is unpredictable after all. In the next few decades, how many opportunities will they have to meet?

"The queen is still under your protection." Mu Cang said in a gentle voice, "The South has your eldest brother, and Jin has you. Whether the queen marries or recruits a prince consort in the South, she will live a rich and worry-free life, so don't worry too much."

Yan Li nodded gently: "Yes."

"It's getting late, go to bed early."

...

The second day of February, auspicious.

The chief steward of the imperial court read out the imperial edict in the court, appointing the regent Princess Yan Li as the crown princess.

From today on, she will have full power to supervise the country and act as regent.

After several days of anxiety caused by the palace coup, and yesterday's bloodbath and house-confiscation by the imperial guards, the ministers in the palace, who were still in fear, had no dissatisfaction with the decision. They knelt down and shouted: "Long live the emperor! Long live the princess!"

"Long live the emperor!"

"Live the princess!"

The voices of the civil and military officials in the court were so loud that they almost resounded through the sky.

The crown prince was decided.

Not only did no one in the court object, but even the person who was appointed as the crown prince did not seem to be excited at all.

Yan Li was very calm.

Emperor Wen was very satisfied.

"It seems that Li'er is the popular choice for the crown prince, and I am very pleased." Emperor Wen sat on the dragon throne and looked around at the civil and military officials in the court, "Then let the Imperial Astronomical Observatory choose an auspicious day to hold the crown prince ceremony."

"Long live the emperor!"

Emperor Wen smiled and said, "Li'er is very determined and is a natural emperor."

Yan Li raised his eyes and glanced at her, and he agreed deeply.

She is worthy of being the king of a country, and she has vision.

"Dismiss the court." Emperor Wen stood up, "Li'er, follow me and the queen to Fengyi Palace, we will talk to you."

The ministers respectfully sent the emperor and the queen off.

After the court was dismissed, Prime Minister Ji stood up and looked at Yan Li: "Congratulations, Princess."

Yan Li smiled slightly: "The queen still relies on the Prime Minister's assistance."

"I dare not." Prime Minister Ji saluted humbly.

The king and his ministers had a harmonious attitude and a tacit understanding. They knew that in the next ten years, the Ji family would still be the backbone of the court and the senior officials who were second to none.

As for ten years later, I wonder if the Ji family can still maintain this loyalty.
