The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

When Jiang Xinzhi came back, he first went to Jiang Ruan's yard. Jiang Ruan was instructing Forsythia Zisu and the others to replace the things that had been damp for the past few days. Seeing Jiang Xinzhi coming in, Lianqiao hurriedly made a cup of tea. Sit down opposite.

Jiang Xinzhi paused, and cut straight to the point: "Ah Ruan, Li Dong and his son died in prison yesterday."

Jiang Ruan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"

"The jailer found out this morning, saying that they committed suicide in fear of crime. Your Majesty was furious and wanted to divide their corpses into five horses." Jiang Xinzhi said angrily: "This is called the reincarnation of the law of heaven. It's not that there is no report, but the time has not yet come. They want to I want to marry you, but I don't want to have that life."

Jiang Ruan smiled lightly, thinking in his heart, the father and son of Li Dong in the prison committed suicide in fear of crime, it should be Xiao Shao's handwriting, although I don't know what method he used, but even Jiang Xinzhi didn't find anything wrong, naturally It should also be seamless.

She bowed her head and smiled slightly, but seeing Jiang Xinzhi's heart moved, she said softly, "Your Majesty will hold a palace banquet in a few days to reward the ministers who have made great contributions to water control. I will go with you when you are a family member. Go. At that time, big brother will find a future for you."

Jiang Ruan naturally understood what he meant by these words. Jiang Xinzhi wanted to use his achievements to change her status, or to give her an opportunity to improve her status. Let the Jiang family no longer dare to bully her easily. Jiang Xinzhi said: "Now the more credit I have, the more His Majesty looks at it. The West is not very peaceful. It is inevitable that one day I will lead troops to fight. If you have an asylum, it will be very good."

"Asylum?" Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "How does my brother want to protect me? Change the status of a princess? Brother, don't forget, thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. Your Majesty now values ​​the big brother. It is the big brother's opportunity, but if the big brother is reckless Guessing the Sacred Heart, and even asking for it in such a gesture, I am afraid that His Majesty will not like it. And the status of the Princess, I did not mean to say that, brother's credit is not enough for the time being."

Jiang Xinzhi was at a loss for words, he knew what Jiang Ruan said was right. But wealth is like floating clouds to him, and now he only hopes for Jiang Ruan to live a good life. But what kind of place is Jiang's Mansion? These days, Jiang Xinzhi can see the faces of these people clearly. He is only shocked by Jiang Ruan's past days. How can he put Jiang Ruan in such a dangerous place when he goes out in the future.

Jiang Ruan looked at him, smiled, and said, "If it wasn't for changing the status of princess, there is actually another way to protect me."

"What is it?" Jiang Xinzhi asked.

"It's very simple. Find a powerful person to be engaged to me. Once I have a marriage contract, I am only half of the Jiang family. If that side is very powerful, people here will not dare to embarrass me."

When Jiang Xin heard this, he refused without even thinking about it: "No, you are still so young, how can you find someone to marry in a hurry." He looked at Jiang Ruan's unabashed and generous gesture, and he was even more sure of Jiang Ruan He didn't understand what engagement was at all, and said: "Besides, the Jiang family and the Xia family are on good terms, and the Xia family is on good terms with the Eighth Prince. It's not so easy to find someone who can compete with the Eighth Prince." Thinking of something, he was taken aback for a while and didn't speak for a while.

Jiang Ruan looked at him: "Brother?"

Jiang Xinzhi came back to his senses, gave her a strange look, and said, "Ah Ruan, what do you think of Xiao Shao?"

Jiang Ruan: "..."

He actually thought about this matter seriously, Jiang Ruan stared at him, sighed for a while, and said softly: "Brother, have you forgotten, I said that I don't want to get married." Before Jiang Xinzhi could answer, she again He said: "Besides, things in the world are changing rapidly, and the husband's family may become a hungry wolf that cannibalize people. Have you forgotten your mother?"

How innocent Zhao Mei was, yet she buried her youthful and flowery life in Jiang's mansion. Was it not because of Jiang Quan's ruthlessness?

And in her last life, she was reduced to a situation where life was worse than death, and her relatives were slaughtered to the point of death. Wasn't it because Ye Li used a gentle mask to deceive her trust?

The human heart is the most unreliable thing in the world.

The coldness in Jiang Ruan's eyes was too deep, and Jiang Xinzhi was also slightly stunned when he saw it. He reached out and touched Jiang Ruan's head: "But she is still a little girl, how can she speak so old-fashioned?" He said: "There is a big brother here , will not let you be wronged."

"Brother don't have to worry about me. I have a way to fulfill my wish at this palace banquet. My brother also promises me one thing, don't gamble with my own future on my happiness. For Ah Ruan, my brother will go higher One step, it will be safer, and Ah Ruan will be more at ease."

Jiang Xinzhi looked at her and nodded: "Okay, I promise you."

...

In the Eighth Prince's Mansion in the capital, Ye Li's expression was agitated, and his eyes that were always gentle and affectionate were radiating fury at this moment. The three of Li Dong committed suicide in fear of crime in prison. With Li Dong's temperament, he would never do such a move. But now his every move is under the noses of others, and this incident happened in the prime minister's mansion, and the censors are all staring at him, hoping that he made some mistakes at this time. The people sent out didn't come up with any useful news, thinking of losing a good chess game for no reason, Ye Li felt depressed and angry.

Although he had already thought about abandoning the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was not at this time. In his hands, he always wants to squeeze out the last bit of value. Even if the prime minister's mansion is going to be destroyed, it must be destroyed to be valuable, to pave the way for his advancement. Unexpectedly, the three of Li Dong died in prison for no reason, and there was no proof of death. Those doubts about him would become a thorn, deeply pierced into the emperor's heart, and could not be pulled out.

How could he not be annoyed by this!

The subordinates around him came down to report: "His Royal Highness, I have found out that what Young Master Li was going to deal with that day was originally Miss Jiang, but for some reason, officers and soldiers were attracted, and even the Red Thunder Army was destroyed in one fell swoop."

Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan again! Ye Li stood up all of a sudden, then sat back down again, feeling stuffy in his chest. Li An thought he had concealed the true strength of the Red Thunder Army, but in fact everything was under his control. He originally wanted to wait for a certain time to take the Red Thunder Army back for his own use, but who would have thought that the Red Thunder Army would become a hot potato after a great change, and he could only watch helplessly being taken away by officers and soldiers.

Thinking of the sudden destruction of the Red Thunder Army in several places that day, he couldn't help but suspect that those officers and soldiers were all from the Zhao family and the Guan family. Needless to say, the Guan family, the Zhao family was too coincidental. Now hearing from his subordinates that Li An originally wanted to deal with Jiang Ruan, he gradually understood in his heart.

If it was really Jiang Ruan who made all of this, then she is really terrible.

He remembered that when Li An was not taken away, the two chatted. Li An once said: "Miss Jiang's mind is very comparable to others. If there is a chance, His Highness may consider taking it for his own use. If not, be sure to kill her, otherwise It will become a serious problem in the future."

He scoffed at the beginning, but now that he thinks about it, his expression becomes serious. What did Li An's words imply, and this time, if Li An really fell into Jiang Ruan's hands, then he would have to take a good look at this young lady of the Jiang family.
