The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinzhi shook his head and smiled. Jiang Ruan took the steamed cake, put it aside, looked at Jiang Xinzhi, and smiled slightly: "Brother, be more careful tonight."

Jiang Xinzhi was dressed in a dark blue straight-length embroidered green pine robe, looking gentle and elegant, but under the soft robe was an extremely hard military uniform. Tonight, there was a night attack. Although it is not as drastic as on the battlefield, it is still extremely dangerous. He smiled and patted Jiang Ruan's head: "Understood, is elder brother such an incompetent person in your heart?"

Jiang Ruan also smiled slightly, and looked at Jiang Xinzhi with a slightly warm gaze. She propped her chin with one hand, and said a little playfully: "Brother, in my heart, will always be an upright man."

After Jiang Xinzhi knew her plan, he agreed without saying a word. He didn't even doubt whether there would be a heavy rain tomorrow, or why the reservoir would collapse. As soon as Jiang Ruan said, he agreed. Perhaps in this world, Jiang Xinzhi is the only person who believes in her words unconditionally and is willing to work hard for her words.

"Elder brother stole General Guan's seal, so there is no need to mobilize too many soldiers, just a small number of people." Jiang Ruan said: "It's just that General Guan will be furious afterward. Eldest brother...may have to be wronged."

In the last life in the palace, she seldom saw the emperor. She only heard from Ye Li that the emperor was suspicious by nature. Not bad, who knows how much sincerity is in it. But Guan Lianghan was different. Firstly, he had been stationed on the frontier for a long time and had little contact with the forces in Beijing. Secondly, he was quite straightforward, so the emperor trusted him very much.

After this success, only the Zhao family's credit is definitely not enough, and Guan Lianghan needs to be involved. As long as he cares about Guan Lianghan, the emperor's heart will be more forgiving. What's more, Jiang Xinzhi's appearance will only benefit and not harm his future career.

People say to climb up step by step, don't be too hasty, Jiang Xinzhi was promoted to lieutenant general, and made military exploits, if he saved thousands of lives downstream by controlling the water, it would be another reward. In this way, once you step into the highest power center of the Great Jin Dynasty, you will naturally stand higher than others.

Jiang Xinzhi worked so hard for her, and she was also paving the way for Jiang Xinzhi.

And the first way is to step on the flesh and blood of the people in the prime minister's mansion to be promoted.

...

On the residence of the Eighth Prince of Beijing.

Ye Li sat at the desk and took a sip of tea slowly. Li An talked with him here for a whole afternoon. Seeing that tomorrow is three days after the monk said, the rain is slowly decreasing and almost stopped. .

He slowly stretched his brows, the fifth prince's move is useless after all. After tomorrow, the minister who recorded the flood control will report the matter to the court, his reputation among the people will be higher, and more people will support him in the court. At that time, he will throw the monk under house arrest into the prison for some torture. If the fifth prince can be confessed, it will be consummated.

However, what Li An said to him before rang in his ears again: "Your Highness, don't underestimate the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. This woman is cunning and cruel. If she is allowed to let her go, she will become a serious problem in the future. If she can be accepted and used, It might be a big help.”

He didn't know what this was implying, and a faint smile appeared in front of his eyes. She's just a little girl who only knows about wives' backyard fights, so she is also worthy of the word "help"?

Ye Li frowned slightly, but for some reason, there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart. The subordinate entered the door and said, "Your Highness, the reservoir has been inspected and there is nothing wrong with it. Soldiers were sent to guard it, and there is nothing abnormal."

Ye Li waved: "Go down."

He ordered a group of soldiers to approach the reservoir to prevent anyone from tampering with it. After a while, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart and smiled slowly.

They're just a bunch of jumping clowns, so why bother.

...

But in a quiet courtyard in the middle of Beijing, the environment is quiet, there are a few people dressed as guards guarding the door, and the fragrance of tea is wafting in the room. Facing the window, there is a yellow-robed monk who is silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.

This person has a peaceful face, calm in every situation, and has the air of an eminent monk. Silently, he suddenly paused and opened his eyes suddenly.

The guard gate is still not slack in the night, the night has come, and the outside can't be seen clearly. Under the reflection of the bright red lanterns hanging under the eaves, there are very fine raindrops drifting obliquely, almost disappearing.

The rain seemed to stop.

Huijue watched silently, and slowly spread out his hands that were holding the Buddhist beads tightly, the palms were already dripping with sweat.

After tonight, if the heavy rain does not come as expected, what will be waiting for him, Huijue knows better than anyone else.

In the past few days, people came in to talk to him from time to time. Although the tone was gentle, the words were invisible threats and pressure, and he could only pretend to ignore them. Those people did not make things difficult for him.

Ye Li is a person who pays attention to his reputation. Before tomorrow, he will treat Huijue with courtesy. After tomorrow, Huijue will become a monstrous monk who disturbs people's hearts. No amount of punishment will be too much.

Huijue narrowed his eyes slightly, this is a game, and he looks like he is about to lose.

However, he can only bear it. If he changes his words now, it is inevitable that the people behind Jiang Ruan will vent their anger on his son.

He closed his eyes again, and slowly, slowly meditated on the Zen scriptures.

...

Jinying Palace.

Xiao Shao silently read the letter in his hand, and the snow pigeon landed on the desk, crying "coo coo" and "coo coo".

After a while, he said: "Take my seal and invite General Guan to come over."

Jin Yi took the order to leave, Xiao Shao stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the letter paper with his slender fingers, his eyes were cold.

Jiang Xinzhi, Zhao Yuanjia?

...

The continuous rain has washed the night sky of the capital clean, especially in the past few days, the rain has become less and less. The night sky tonight is very clear. It seems that in the next second, there will be a bright moon hanging on the willow branches by the lake.

The surrounding area of ​​the Bochang Reservoir is calm and without waves, and the faint raindrops fall gently on the water surface, causing shallow waves, like the gentle and intimate whispers between lovers.

There are guards with knives patrolling the edge of the reservoir, and the people in the downstream area have fallen asleep.

In the silence and peace, there was a sudden "plop" sound from a distance, as if something fell into the water. The guard standing by the water raised his drowsy eyes and said to the people around him, "What was the sound just now?"

The companion waved his hand: "I don't know, go and have a look."

The guard rubbed his eyes, walked straight forward until he came to the place where the sound of falling into the water was heard, and looked inside: "What's going on?"

There are shallow ripples on the surface of the water, and by the faint light of the fire, it seems that there is something. The guard took the torch in his hand forward, bent down to take a closer look, but suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and before he could understand, his body had already collapsed.
