But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, the system has been released, so Lü Qiling is naturally fine too.

Its existence is its own justification.

Judging from her abilities, Lü Lingqi seems to possess the divine strength of her father, Lü Bu, and has also inherited Lü Bu's archery and horsemanship skills, which is quite terrifying. She can be described as a female general with extremely strong combat power.

The Flying Phoenix Camp was her personal guard. Although it only numbered two thousand, it was entirely composed of female soldiers, and their combat strength was considerable.

However, it would be somewhat inappropriate to send such a woman to the battlefield. People would think that there were no men left in Xiliang, which would not do.

Lin Yi came up with a good idea: he would be responsible for the security of the future Prince of Xiliang and protect the women in the family. This would save him a lot of trouble.

There are differences between men and women. Having a female general guard the residence can not only ensure the safety of the backyard, but also avoid some awkward situations.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Tsk tsk, I never expected that Princess Shenle would poison a maid and actually reward herself with Lü Bu's daughter. This is absolutely a super bargain!"

This cheap wife is pretty good; she's practically a free gift, providing both talent and resources.

The most reliable reward is the hundred antidote pills. That puts my mind at ease. According to the attribute description, the antidote pills can cure any kind of poison. With this, I will be immune to all poisons.

They even sent twenty palace maids, which is very humane. They're safe, reliable, and pleasing to the eye—that's quite good.

Then there's the Great Ning version of the " Compendium of Materia Medica," which is quite remarkable. Not only did it greatly advance medicine, but it also allowed for the study of poisons.

After a moment's thought, he summoned a guard and said in a deep voice, "Give this copy of the ' Compendium of Materia Medica ' to the Prime Minister and have him consult with his own people to devise a necessary emergency treatment plan."

"I'll take care of it right away!" The guard nodded, took the book, and prepared to leave.

"Etc!"

Lin Yi stopped him and said in a deep voice, "Is there a grain merchant named Hong Xi in the Net's records?"

It's somewhat unusual that Hong Xi, a grain merchant, managed to earn two rewards, but his name didn't seem particularly prominent in the industry list that Wang Yue had previously presented.

This is somewhat problematic and unscientific.

If it were really that ordinary, it would be impossible to get so many rewards. This person is definitely a genius.

It's important to know that the first two Song Huizu, Yu Yi and Song Hui, were both on the Net list. Even if they were just minor figures, they were still top-tier individuals in the industry.

There's no reason why Hong Xi should be worse than them.

"Grain merchant Hong Xi?"

The guard immediately retrieved the intelligence from the Net of Heaven), and after carefully reviewing it, frowned and said, "My lord, this person does exist, but he is very low-key and just sells grain; there's nothing unusual about him."

"It would be abnormal if there were no abnormalities!"

Lin Yi shook his head, instinctively sensing something was off about this person, and said in a deep voice, "Send someone to investigate him, but don't let him find out!"

"Your subordinate obeys!"

The guard instantly understood: the lord had his eye on this man.

The backyard of the Prince's Mansion!

After Cai Yan brought Princess Shenle to the backyard, a mutual probing began—a war between women.

"Sister, you are Cai Wenji, the woman approved by the Prince of Xiliang?" Princess Shenle looked at Cai Yan with curiosity in her eyes. How did this woman gain Lin Yi's approval and directly take charge of the inner court?

I never expected to encounter such a formidable opponent so soon after Xiliang.

"Younger sister?"

Cai Yan frowned slightly. This woman was quite blunt. She warned, "Your Highness, this is not the capital of Great Ning, this is the Prince of Xiliang. Many things require careful consideration before acting. I hope you understand!"

She had previously received information that this princess had poisoned more than thirty of the emperor's attendants, including his personal maid, in one fell swoop; she was definitely a ruthless character.

However, it was precisely because of this that Cai Yan began to approve of the princess.

She's a smart woman!

A smart woman wouldn't do anything foolish. If she threatened her lord, she wouldn't hesitate to teach her the rules of the Prince of Xiliang.

"Don't worry, sister Shenle a woman who follows her husband after marriage, so naturally she will listen to everything he says. If you need anything in the future, please take good care of Shenle." Princess Shenle smiled and said naturally.

To contend or not to contend—that is an art!

To start a fight right after arriving would be foolish, and she's not going to be a fool.

"Princess, don't worry, we're all one loving family!"

Cai Yan smiled sweetly. This woman was no ordinary woman; she was indeed a woman who had cultivated herself in the harem of Great Ning for more than ten years.

What a cunning fox!

" Grand Princess Shenle of the Great Ning Kingdom!"

However, Wang Zijin behind her was completely dumbfounded. She actually saw the emperor's most favored princess bowing her head in front of Cai Yan.

At that moment, she felt utterly ridiculous.

Even the Emperor's eldest princess has married into the Prince's household, yet she maintains such a humble posture. For me to even consider it is utterly ridiculous.

He felt like a clown, nothing at all in front of Princess Shenle Princess Shenle, who didn't even glance at him.

She quickly lowered her head, afraid that Princess Shenle would see her; they had met before.

Cai Yan glanced at Haitang and said in a deep voice, "Her Highness must have had a tiring day. Haitang, go and accompany her to bathe. Remember, make sure she is thoroughly cleaned."

Pfft!

Princess Shenle couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't refuse and followed Haitang to bathe and change.

After Haitang took the princess away, Cai Yan looked at Wang Zijin and said in a deep voice, " Wang Zijin, Haitang has gone to help Princess Shenle with her bath. Tonight, you will be in charge of washing the prince's feet!"

ah?!

Wang Zijin's expression changed; she hadn't expected that the task of washing feet would fall to her.

However, since she was just a maidservant, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, saying bitterly, " Zijin understands, I'll go fetch water right away."

When she carried the water into Lin Yi's room, she didn't even dare to look up, but Lin Yi still recognized her.

"It's you?"

Lin Yi glanced at Cai Yan beside him. This woman was something else; she actually got Wang Zijin to wash her feet.

Wang Zijin glanced at Cai Yan, then forced a smile and said, " Wang Zijin greets Your Highness. Haitang went to serve Princess Shenle today, so I will wash Your Highness's feet."

"Kindness!"

Lin Yi nodded slightly, showing no particular questions.

In fact, he didn't really take Wang Zijin seriously. He had already vented his anger earlier; she was just a woman.

Wang Zijin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly brought a foot basin to wash and soak Lin Yi. She knew that being a "Miss Wang Clan" wasn't something to be taken seriously.

Forehead!

Watching her clumsy movements, Lin Yi couldn't help but twitch his lips. It seemed this woman needed some proper training; her technique was far too inexperienced.
