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

After chasing away a few unruly spirits, she kicked at the messy, rotting straw on the ground and found a relatively clean stool to sit down.

The cell was deathly still, filled with foul air and gloom.

The prisoners locked in the cells stared blankly at them, showing no reaction.

Each face was filled with despair, devoid of any sign of life.

She doesn't like this place.

"Liuli, I'm here."

Gu Jinyan was brought in behind her and, with a bang, was locked in the cell opposite her.

"Hello!"

As soon as he went inside, he grabbed the iron gate and shouted at the jailer.

"Warden! I don't want to be here! Lock me up with her!"

He's already in jail, and he's still acting like some kind of young master!

However, the identity of those imprisoned in the imperial prison is also taken into account.

If a palace servant were to enter the imperial prison, nine out of ten would meet a tragic end there.

Those with certain status and position may have opportunities to go out, but you can't just offend them.

Although the jailer looked disgusted, he turned around and smiled ingratiatingly.

"Your Highness, the rules of our prison are that men and women are kept in separate cells. I dare not break the rules."

"I, this young master, don't care about your rules!"

Gu Jinyan snorted impatiently, "Enough nonsense, lock him up!"

The jailer looked troubled. "Your Highness, please forgive me, I truly dare not break the rules..."

Before he could finish speaking, a hundred-tael silver note was handed to him. The jailer's eyes widened, and he stopped talking abruptly.

Gu Jinyan flicked the silver note, raised an eyebrow, and said, "This is a reward for you."

"Gulp..."

The jailer stared at the gleaming hundred taels of silver, swallowed hard, and said, "Young Master, please don't make things difficult for me..."

"not enough?"

Gu Jinyan gave an arrogant snort, casually pulled out a few more bills, and threw them in front of the jailer.

"Is that enough?"

"Yes! Yes!"

The jailer was overjoyed. He hurriedly picked up the silver notes and opened the cell door without saying a word. "Young Master, you can stay in any cell you like. If you need anything, just tell me."

Gu Jinyan waved his hand and leisurely stepped into Yin Liuli's cell.

Yin Liuli's face was full of black lines.

"You were doing just fine over there, what are you doing here?"

Gu Jinyan stood tall before her, a smile playing on his handsome face.

"Let's lock ourselves up together, then I can keep you company."

"There's only one chair here; there's nowhere to sit."

Yin Liuli was both angry and amused. She pointed to the ground and said, "Are you sitting on the ground?"

Gu Jinyan didn't care about any of that, and raised an eyebrow,

"So what if we're sitting on the ground? As long as we can be locked up together, that's fine."

As he spoke, he kicked the straw on the ground, looking for a clean place to sit down.

A foul, rotten smell wafted out, almost knocking him over.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

Several mice scurried out of the straw and ran around in a panic at his feet.

"mouse!"

Gu Jinyan trembled, leaped into the air, and tightly hugged the iron gate, screaming.

"Guard! Guard! There are rats here!"

The jailer was already counting his money; he didn't even utter a sound.

Are you afraid of mice?

Yin Liuli's face darkened. She tilted her head and looked at him. "Rats are everywhere, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Why would I be afraid? It's just that I feel..."

Gu Jinyan, trembling as he clung to the iron gate, said, "I just think this thing is really dirty, and it bites!"

He had lived a life of luxury since childhood. The servants and maids in the princess's mansion cleaned diligently every day, and there were hardly any rats or even flies to be seen.

"Are you afraid he'll bite you? No way..."

Yin Liuli's bright eyes darted around a few times, and she grinned mischievously behind him, "Turn around and see, they're so obedient!"

As she spoke, she flipped her fingers, and a flash of inspiration appeared at her fingertips.

"I command the Earth God to heed my command, all beasts to follow my call, take sound as your signal, and gesture as your command, obey my command, may the talisman communicate with your heart... So be it!"

The "Beast Taming Talisman" emitted a burst of spiritual light from his fingertips.

The mice that were scurrying about on the ground suddenly seemed to be mesmerized, and under her slender fingers, they lined up neatly in a row.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

The eerie squeaking stopped, and Gu Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief before daring to turn around.

Suddenly, a huge rat appeared before him, its tiny, beady eyes staring at him intently.

Grey fur, a long, pointed snout, a thin beard, sharp teeth and claws...

Yin Liuli held the mouse by its long tail, a mischievous smile on her face.

"Look, a mouse!"

"what!"

Gu Jinyan's scalp tingled instantly.

He slammed against the iron gate with a thud, raised his arm to shield his head and face, and frantically waved his hands at her.

"Take it away! Take it away now! Rats really can bite..."

Yin Liuli couldn't help but burst into laughter at his panicked appearance.

"Gu Jinyan, I thought you were fearless, but it turns out you're afraid of mice!"

Gu Jinyan looked depressed.

What's wrong with being afraid of mice?

Everyone needs something to fear to be perfect!

"Don't worry, the rats here won't bite you, they'll even obey you! You'll see."

Yin Liuli casually tossed the mouse to the ground, put one hand on her hip, and said to the neatly arranged mice,

"I'm the boss here now. Will you listen to me?"

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

Under the influence of the Beast Taming Talisman, the rats seemed to understand human speech and nodded in unison.

Gu Jinyan's lips twitched violently, "..."

This girl, she's in the prison like she's at home, and she even has the mind to play with mice!

"They've been hit by my Beast Taming Talisman, they'll do whatever I tell them to do. Gu Jinyan, you should try it, it's really fun!"

Yin Liuli said with a grin, "When we were at Xuanqing Temple, we played with the mice and the wild animals on the mountain like this."

"Can mice listen to humans?"

Gu Jinyan swallowed hard and cautiously said to the swarm of rats, "You...you jump..."

"Clap clap clap..."

Before the words were even finished, the mice lined up jumped up and down, then rearranged themselves like well-trained soldiers.

"Liuli, they really do understand human speech! It's so much fun!"

A bright, childlike smile immediately appeared on Gu Jinyan's handsome face.

He knew that being with Yin Liuli would never be a shortage of fun things to do!

Suddenly, a series of chaotic noises came from outside.

"Your Highness, without His Majesty's decree, no one is allowed to visit the prison."

The jailer's tense voice rang out, "Your Highness barged in, we're in a real predicament..."

"Snap"

A loud slap rang out, and the jailer immediately fell silent.

Princess Chengyi's hurried footsteps grew closer, her voice tinged with a sob.

"Yan'er! Yan'er, where are you? Mother has come to see you..."

Gu Jinyan's heart sank, and he quickly said in a soft voice,

"Liuli, if your mother says anything unpleasant to you later, don't be angry with her. If you're unhappy, just scold me."

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I won't be angry."

"Yan'er! Yan'er!"

As Cheng Yi passed each cell, she rushed up to them, crying and calling out, "Where are you? Please, please answer your mother..."

"Mother, your son is here."

Gu Jinyan quickly waved and shouted from behind the iron fence.

"Yan'er!"

Princess Chengyi exclaimed in surprise, rushing over despite the old woman's attempts to support her. She grabbed Gu Jinyan's hand and burst into tears.

"Yan'er, you've suffered so much! Is this a place fit for a human being? You've suffered so much..."

Gu Jinyan wiped away her tears and gently coaxed her.

"Mother, don't worry, it's fine here. I haven't suffered at all..."

"Liuli, how could you bring Yan'er to do such a rebellious thing!"

You caused His Majesty to bear the crime of filial impiety, and even when I went to plead for him, I was severely reprimanded by Father Emperor!

Cheng Yi spotted Yin Liuli behind him at a glance, and her face instantly darkened.
