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

She looked up and glanced southeast.

The seemingly clear sky was gradually thickening with dark, watery vapor, brewing a natural disaster.

Yin Liuli's slender fingers moved rapidly between her knuckles, her brows furrowing even more deeply.

The torrential rain in the southeast may have already begun.

The southern region has extensive waterways, and if there are three to five consecutive days of torrential rain, rivers and lakes will overflow, causing widespread flooding.

When the time comes, the dikes will break, rice paddies will be flooded, houses will be destroyed, and tens of thousands of people will be displaced!

Dikes can be rebuilt if they are destroyed, but if rice paddies are flooded, what will the people eat?

If they lose their houses, what can shelter them from the wind and rain?

Moreover, after a flood, a huge plague often follows, and what can the Great Chang Dynasty use to treat it!

A series of huge waves surged in Yin Liuli's heart, and a hint of sternness appeared on her beautiful and refined brows.

Now that she knows about this, she will definitely not stand idly by!

Gu Jinyan walked alongside her and sensed a slight heaviness in her aura.

"Silly girl, are you still angry with His Majesty? There are taboos in the palace, and this is something we have to do."

Looking at that serious face, he stopped, raised his hand to smooth Yin Liuli's furrowed brows, and his clear voice carried an indescribable gentleness.

"Don't worry, let's go and ask our maternal grandmother; perhaps there's still room for maneuver."

Yin Liuli suddenly blinked and looked up at him.

"Even if the Empress were willing to persuade him on our behalf, do you think the Emperor would agree?"

Gu Jinyan shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Given my maternal grandfather's personality, he probably wouldn't."

"Then what are we waiting for, for any room for reversal?"

Yin Liuli suddenly curled her lips into a mischievous smile.

"Opportunities are found by oneself, and tasks are done by oneself. As long as what I, Yin Liuli, am willing to do is right, I have nothing to fear from others!"

A mischievous smile bloomed on her face, causing Gu Jinyan's heart to skip a beat.

"What idea have you come up with?"

"Gu Jinyan, I have a bold idea."

Yin Liuli glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then beckoned to him with her slender finger and whispered,

"Do you dare to defy the world and go against all odds with me?"

"Of course! When have I, Gu Jinyan, ever feared anything that would be considered outrageous by the world?"

Gu Jinyan spoke almost without thinking, almost blurting it out.

What are your plans?

"Come closer, I'll tell you."

A smile appeared on Yin Liuli's exquisite face as she whispered a few words in his ear.

Gu Jinyan's deep eyes suddenly narrowed, and his heart skipped a few beats.

This method can save the people, but it will ruin them!

"What, you're scared?"

Unable to decipher his expression, Yin Liuli frowned and said, "Anyway, this is my own business. If you don't dare to, then forget it, it's fine..."

"What do I have to be afraid of?"

Gu Jinyan curled his lips and said arrogantly, "Besides, what do you mean by 'it's all your business'?"

You're marrying me in just a few days; this is a matter between us as husband and wife!

"I'd go through fire and water for you, madam!"

"Don't agree so quickly. If you anger the Emperor, you might not only be in deep trouble, but you, as the heir apparent, will also be in serious trouble."

Yin Liuli patted his strong shoulder and pouted, saying, "When the time comes, your princess mother will run into my county princess's mansion again and give me a good scolding."

Gu Jinyan scoffed dismissively.

"It's not like you're afraid she'll cause trouble! Don't worry, since we're husband and wife, I'll face whatever happens with you!"

A warm feeling welled up in Yin Liuli's heart, her cheeks flushed, and she softly spat out...

"We're not even married yet, so who's your husband/wife!"

……

In the stillness of the night, a graceful figure swept over the palace wall, its cat-like agility disappearing into the shadows.

Gu Jinyan followed closely behind her, stepping onto the roof of Qianyuan Palace, his deep eyes filled with vigilance as he secretly observed his surroundings.

"Coo coo coo coo..."

A patrol of guards had just passed by the palace gate when several birds called from the large canopy of the ginkgo tree.

Yin Liuli emerged from under the ginkgo tree and replied with a soft sound.

"Coo coo coo..."

Yin Liuli's method, which defied the world, was to bypass the emperor and directly destroy this ancient tree that had stood for centuries!

Gu Jinyan leaped down and rushed to her side, lowering his voice to say...

"I've observed that the guards patrol every fifteen minutes, which should give you enough time to cast your spell."

In the darkness, Yin Liuli nodded, her eyes seemingly gathering the light of a sky full of stars.

"Spells are enough to summon heavenly lightning to strike it down, and all the roots must be dug out and burned with Samadhi Fire."

Gu Jinyan frowned and said,

"Such a commotion, won't it attract everyone's attention?"

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow, and said with a half-smile,

"So we can't escape, we can only submit to the Emperor's punishment."

"If the Emperor is enraged, we'll both lose our heads."

"Emperor Taizu would never be able to bear it!"

Gu Jinyan scoffed lightly and said casually,

"Don't forget you saved his life and promised you something. If he wants to kill you, wouldn't that be ungrateful?"

Despite saying that, he was on edge.

Even if the emperor is reluctant to kill them, he will surely punish them severely in his anger, demoting them to commoners or even throwing them into the imperial prison.

It all depends on whether he and Yin Liuli can get along.

As they were speaking, the sound of patrolling guards could be heard again.

Yin Liuli and Gu Jinyan exchanged a glance, then disappeared into the darkness beneath the tree.

She pressed herself tightly against Gu Jinyan's chest, holding her breath and waiting quietly for the right moment.

"Liuli..."

Gu Jinyan whispered in her ear, his warm breath mingling with hers.

"Huh? What?"

Yin Liuli responded in a low voice, looked up at him, and unexpectedly met his warm lips.

"N-nothing..."

Gu Jinyan's heart seemed to stop, and he involuntarily pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and captured her lips.

He'd completely forgotten what he was about to say!

"Well……"

Yin Liuli instinctively grunted in response.

What was that sound?

"There seems to be someone inside..."

The guards outside seemed to sense something, quickly unlocked the brass lock, pushed open the palace gate with a creak, and came in carrying a lantern to investigate. "Who's in there? Come out!"

"Is anyone there? Don't let us find you!"

"Let's go take a look over there..."

……

Seeing someone slip under the tree, Yin Liuli quickly flipped her fingers.

A "cloaking charm" suddenly appeared, concealing her and Gu Jinyan.

"Strange, why is no one here? I clearly heard voices just now!"

"I heard it too, it sounded like a woman... she made two soft sobs."

Two guards came over with lanterns and circled the tree several times, but they couldn't find anyone.

Little did they know that Yin Liuli and Gu Jinyan were right under their noses!

One of the guards almost bumped into them as he approached the tree trunk.

The invisibility charm is just a trick; it doesn't make you disappear. If you touch it, you'll be exposed!
