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

"Your Highness, Princess, this is a small token of our respect."

Just then, the jailer came over with several guards, each carrying something and placing it on the table.

Yin Liuli glanced at it and smiled faintly.

"Don't be so polite, jailer."

"Oh, it's not just being polite! This is a sincere gift from us to you."

The jailer bowed humbly and said with a grin, "Since the two of you arrived, we and everyone else have benefited a lot and have also eaten many pastries made by the First Lady herself."

The few of us didn't have anything good to offer, so we pooled our money and bought a piece of fatty mutton from the market. We had the vendor slice it finely and brought it to be cooked in a clay pot.

Several jailers busied themselves setting up a small charcoal fire and placing a clay pot filled with soup on it to cook.

Someone carrying a basket of clean vegetables said with a grateful expression,

"My mother's nightmares were cured after using the princess's talisman. She has been sleeping soundly these past two days!"

These are vegetables my mother picked fresh from the field. She washed them carefully and sent me to deliver them to thank the princess.

One of the men suddenly knelt down and kowtowed several times, tears welling in his eyes.

"My son was dull and foolish for more than a year, but the princess summoned his soul back, and he immediately came to his senses!"

Now I'm just like a normal person. I thank you, Princess, for saving my family!

"I have nothing to thank you for. This pot contains chicken soup that my wife made. It's perfect for simmering in a clay pot..."

"After I put on the talisman, I never tripped or fell for no reason again, nor did I experience sleep paralysis!"

The jailer patted the yellow paper talisman hidden in his chest and said with emotion, "The kind of work I do, I might get followed by some dirty thing. But with the princess's talisman, I'm not afraid of anything!"

……

The jailers thanked them profusely and brought out all the food they had brought from home.

Sliced ​​mutton, vibrant green cabbage and bok choy, straight, snow-white scallions, crisp and sweet radishes, fragrant tofu, homemade egg pancakes...

The table was filled with things scattered haphazardly.

"Glug glug..."

The chicken soup boiled in the clay pot, emitting an enticing aroma.

During her time in the prison, the jailer and guards witnessed Yin Liuli's magic and were amazed, begging her to take a look at their family members.

Since Yin Liuli had nothing better to do, she showed them to everyone one by one.

Use talismans when necessary, summon spirits when needed; the talisman cures the illness—it's all done with ease.

I didn't expect everyone to be so grateful to her.

"Wow, there's so much delicious food!"

Yin Liuli couldn't help but swallow, then picked up her chopsticks and said with a smile,

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, thank you all for your kindness! Gu Jinyan, Brother Qian, come and eat the hot pot!"

"There's such a way to eat it? That's really something!"

Gu Jinyan had already sat down without any ceremony, picked up a slice of mutton and threw it into the casserole, his face full of anticipation.

His meals at home, even a simple bowl of porridge in the morning, were surprisingly delicious, and the dishes he ate at restaurants outside were always expensive.

This is the first time I've ever tried this simple and straightforward street-style way of eating.

The jailer hurriedly laughed,

"Your Highness, hot pot is a common way for us ordinary people to eat; it's convenient and delicious."

"Brother Qian, what are you waiting for? Come and eat!"

Yin Liuli grabbed a pair of chopsticks and stuffed them into Qian Yi's hand, then started fighting with Gu Jinyan for the slices of mutton in the pot.

Inui took a deep breath. "It's here!"

He picked up his chopsticks and joined the frenzy of grabbing meat slices.

Having served as a bodyguard for so many years, this is the first time I've experienced true relaxation here with my master!

In Yin Liuli's eyes, the distinction between master and slave is nothing but a fart!

The cell was filled with the aroma of chicken soup and mutton, it was almost too good to be true.

"The imperial edict has arrived..."

Just as they were enjoying their meal, the sound of an imperial edict was heard coming from the corridor.

"Oh... Princess, the young master is living quite the comfortable life, isn't he?"

The eunuch beside the Emperor strolled over, smiling, and said...

"This old servant has come to deliver His Majesty's decree. His Majesty's oral order states that destroying the relics of the Holy Ancestor is a heinous crime and should be severely punished."

However, Princess Anle and Prince Gu have served the country and its people with their own hearts, and their merits and demerits cancel each other out. Therefore, they should be released from prison at this time.

This old servant congratulates the young master and the princess.

"So you're just letting us out like this?"

Yin Liuli held up the mutton on her chopsticks and decisively shook her head in refusal, "It's fine here, I haven't had enough yet."

As he spoke, he stuffed a slice of mutton into his mouth and ate it with relish.

"Merits and demerits cancel each other out? Heh..."

Gu Jinyan put the blanched radish into her bowl and said with a disdainful look,

"We've committed a heinous crime, a capital offense, and been thrown into this hellish prison. And Grandfather Emperor just says our merits and demerits cancel each other out?"

"Well... His Majesty had no choice. The young master and the princess should understand his difficulties."

The father-in-law forced a smile, but inwardly he was rubbing his teeth in frustration.

Your cells are decorated almost like those of the empresses in the palace!

Madam Zhen, the princess, and even the empress have been having all sorts of food delivered to them every day. They eat and drink to their hearts' content, and now they're even eating hot pot. How dare they say this is a ghost town?

"Ugh...it's so hot!"

Yin Liuli took a slurp and said indistinctly, "Would you like to have something to eat with me, Father-in-law?"

"No, no, this old servant wouldn't dare."

The eunuch gently persuaded, "You two have broken the rules of the royal family. His Majesty must give the royal family an explanation before he sent you to the imperial prison."

Actually, His Majesty is protecting you; otherwise, they would have already caused a huge uproar!

Gu Jinyan leisurely sipped his wine, raised an eyebrow, and said...

"Please trouble you to go back and tell my maternal grandfather that Liuli and I are doing quite well here and have no plans to return to the manor."

"No, no..."

The father-in-law's face darkened. "No matter how well this place is set up, it's still the imperial prison. How can it be worthy of the young master and the princess?"

"Your Highness and Madam Zhen are still waiting for you two at the manor..."

Yin Liuli waved her hand and said,

"My mother said she feels at ease with me staying here."

Gu Jinyan chimed in, "If she doesn't leave, how can I, the young master, leave?"

……

"What? They won't come out?"

The Emperor, unsure whether to be angry or amused, slapped the table and said helplessly, "I've truly spoiled them both. They even dare to sulk and act out against me?"

Despite his anger, he still harbored an inexplicable fondness for these two rebellious children.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

The father-in-law gently advised from the side, "The young master and the princess have done such a great deed; their merits and demerits cancel each other out, so they may feel a little wronged..."

The Emperor was both angry and amused.

"What else could it be but a fit of pique? What do they want? Do they expect me to personally invite them out?"

The father-in-law was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly.

"His Majesty's personal presence is an honor they cannot bear! However, this old servant has an idea that might work..."

……

"Her Majesty the Empress has arrived..."

When the Empress herself arrived at the Imperial Prison, a group of prison guards knelt at the entrance to greet her, too intimidated to even lift their heads.
