Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

"Liuli, what did you say?"

Gu Jinyan stared at her in astonishment. "What just happened... you were all acting?"

"Yes! What's so strange about it? Saint's acting is so irritable, can't you see that?"

Yin Liuli tilted her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Gu Jinyan, "..."

No wonder you didn't even blink when Sun Rong turned into a ghost!

Well, you little girl Liuli, you actually kept it from me too?

Gu Jinyan's lips twitched violently.

Your Majesty, "..."

Was my acting really that bad?

I don't believe it!

Sun Rong was fooled by me, how could I possibly act badly!

The Empress, "..."

Is there anything I don't know?

Cheng Yi, "..."

What acting? What are you talking about?

"Ruri, what exactly is going on?"

The Empress's phoenix eyes were full of confusion as she softly asked, "When did you make such an arrangement? You clearly returned to the palace with me, how come I didn't know..."

"Yes, Liuli, when did you join forces with your maternal grandfather? How come you didn't even tell me about something so important?"

Gu Jinyan looked at Yin Liuli with a resentful expression.

I feel like you've abandoned me!

Baby is unhappy, baby feels wronged!

Yin Liuli glanced at him and said indifferently,

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has granted me the privilege of submitting a memorial directly without going through the Court of Judicial Review. Therefore, I wrote the memorial last night and had it delivered to His Majesty's desk."

Gu Jinyan, when did I not tell you? Didn't I tell you I was going to submit a memorial to the emperor?

Gu Jinyan puffed out his cheeks and hummed.

"You did say that, but you didn't tell me that you, your imperial grandfather... and Master Shiquan conspired to deceive Sun Rong!"

"Hey, you can eat whatever you want, but don't say whatever you want."

Yin Liuli extended a slender finger and waved it in front of him, raising an eyebrow with an air of arrogance.

"When I said it was acting, it was true, but not entirely true. I was just trying to find a way to resolve the resentment in Sun Rong's heart."

"It's all thanks to Uncle Gu. If he hadn't risked his life to shield Sun Rong from the monk's staff..."

"Liuli, are you really acting? Why did you only tell me that His Majesty is determined to send an even more powerful sorcerer to utterly destroy Xiao Rong's soul...?"

Gu Fanghan looked completely bewildered and exclaimed in astonishment.

Yin Liuli scratched her nose.

"If I didn't tell you this, would you have rushed to save Sun Rong?"

Without the genuine emotion she just expressed, how could she have dissipated all her overwhelming resentment in an instant?

Uncle Gu, all of Sun Rong's resentment ultimately boils down to loyalty and righteousness. It was you who unintentionally reminded Liuli of this...

Uncle Gu may no longer have feelings for Sun Rong, but he certainly has loyalty to her. Uncle Gu will definitely come to save her, so Liu Li set up this scheme.

Gu Fanghan said with a confused look,

"What...what did I say?"

Yin Liuli tilted her head, a naive and innocent smile appearing on her face.

"When Uncle Gu was at the villa, he said that if one of the three of you had to die to understand, you would rather fall into the abyss yourself."

"I've got an idea! Let Sun Rong see for herself Uncle Gu's affection for her."

"Liuli... how can you, at such a young age, see through the ways of the world and the hearts of men so clearly?"

Cheng Yi shuddered violently, her disappointed eyes filled with a complex expression.

Gu Fanghan couldn't help but sigh, tears streaming down her face.

"Because it's none of my business!"

Yin Liuli said with a serious expression, "Sun Rong loved Uncle Gu to death, and Your Highness caused her to lose Uncle Gu. That is the root of the problem."

The Empress smiled involuntarily, her tone a mixture of reproach and tenderness.

"You child! Such a grand scheme, how could you not inform me beforehand, causing me so much worry!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Yin Liuli said with a smile, "I only came up with this idea on the way back to the palace. I only had time to inform His Majesty and make preparations in advance, and asked Master Shiquan to come and help."

Time was of the essence, and any mishap could have disastrous consequences. Fortunately, His Majesty was considerate of his people and went to great lengths to accompany Liuli in this performance.

"You little brat, you were just saying my acting was bad!"

The Emperor raised his hand and pointed at her, then laughed loudly, "To be honest, this is the first time in my life I've received such a strange little trinket. It's really quite interesting..."

"Look, Your Majesty, it looks just like something we used to play with when we were young."

As he spoke, he took a small paper crane from his sleeve and handed it to the Empress.

"Paper cranes? What are these for?"

The Empress held it in her hand and examined it closely, saying in surprise, "There are words on this?"

"Reporting to Grandmother, this is Liuli's crane messenger. It can be made to fly by magic to deliver messages."

A smile appeared on Gu Jinyan's handsome face, and he quickly pulled out a few more from his sleeve. "Look, I used these to communicate with Liuli last night, it was so much fun!"

The Empress looked on in astonishment. "A paper crane can fly?"

"Of course you can, Your Majesty, please take a look."

Yin Liuli, her playful nature aroused, channeled her inner energy into her fingertips and urged them with her mind, "Crane Envoy, come."

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, the paper crane fluttered its wings in the Empress's hand, took off into the air, and circled down to land in Yin Liuli's palm.

The Empress was stunned.

"Liuli, you're only a teenager! How did you learn such powerful Taoist techniques!"

Yin Liuli blinked and said frankly,

"Master said that Liuli is naturally intelligent and a rare genius. Liuli learns things much faster than the average person."

"Pfft..."

The Empress and the Emperor burst out laughing at the same time.

The Emperor patted the Empress's hand and said loudly, "Empress, I have seen many humble and cautious ministers who speak carefully, but this is the first time I have seen someone praise themselves after being praised!"

This child is truly fascinating, just what I desire!

The Empress's eyes flickered, and she smiled and nodded.

"I also adore this child. If it weren't for her, I almost did something foolish for Yi'er's sake!"

"Then tell me, how should I reward her? She saved our Yi'er; it would be too unfair to just bestow upon her the title of Female Assistant."

The Emperor laughed heartily.

"In my humble opinion, Your Majesty would be better off bestowing upon this child the title of Princess?"

The Empress smiled serenely, "My eldest sister has already recognized this child as her goddaughter, and that child is also our granddaughter. Such a good child, of course we should snatch her up and make her our own."

"As the Empress wishes."

The Emperor stroked his beard with satisfaction and pondered, "What title should I bestow upon her, Princess..."

"Grandma and Grandpa, absolutely not!"

Gu Jinyan's heart tightened, and he knelt down with a thud, saying with a resentful expression,

"Liuli will be marrying me soon. She is already our family's daughter-in-law, so why is she being made a princess?"

If my maternal grandfather were to bestow upon her the title of Princess, wouldn't that mean she and I would be both members of the royal family and would have to address each other as brother and sister? How could I then marry her?

"Your subject will not do it! Your subject will not do it!"
