Chapter 156 Concubine (1)

When Jiang Xinyi came back, he went to Jiang Ruan's yard first. Jiang Ruan was instructing Lian Qiao, Bai Zhi and the others to replace the things that were damp a few days ago. Seeing Jiang Xinzhi coming in, Lian Qiao hurried to make a cup of tea. Jiang Ruan sat down opposite him.

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

Jiang Ruan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"

"The jailer discovered this morning and said he committed suicide because he was afraid of his crime. His Majesty was furious and wanted to dismember their bodies and five horses." Jiang Xinzhi said this and said angrily: "This is called the cycle of reincarnation in the way of heaven. It is not that the time has not come. They want to marry you, but they don't want to have that life."

Jiang Ruan smiled faintly on her face and thought in her heart that Li Dong and his son in prison committed suicide due to crime. It should be Xiao Shao's work. Although he didn't know what method he used, even Jiang Xinzhi had not found anything wrong, so he should naturally be perfect.

She lowered her head and smiled slightly, but when she saw Jiang Xinzhi's eyes, she felt a heart move, and she whispered: "In a few days, Your Majesty will hold a palace banquet and reward ministers who have made contributions in water control. I will also go with you, your family will also go. At that time, my brother will plan a future for you."

What he meant in his words? Jiang Ruan naturally understood that Jiang Xinzhi wanted to change her identity with the credit he made, or an opportunity to make her status higher. The Jiang family no longer dared to bully her easily. Jiang Xinzhi said: "The more I have made me credit, the more I like His Majesty. The West is not peaceful, and it is inevitable that one day I will lead troops to fight. If you have a shelter, it would be great."

"Protection?" Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "How do you want to protect me? Change the identity of a princess? Brother, don't forget that thunder and rain are all kindness of the Lord. Your Majesty now values ​​the elder brother, which is the opportunity for the elder brother. But if the elder brother guesses the holy heart and even uses such a attitude of exchanging things for things, it will probably make Your Majesty dislike. And the princess' identity is not what I said on purpose, and my brother's contribution is not enough for the time being."

Jiang Xinzhi was speechless, and he understood that what Jiang Ruan said was right. But wealth and honor were like clouds, and now he only hoped that Jiang Ruan would live a good life. But what is the Jiang Mansion? Jiang Xinzhi saw the faces of these people clearly these days, and was only shocked by Jiang Ruan's past days. How can he put Jiang Ruan in such a dangerous place when he went to war in the future?

Jiang Ruan looked at him and smiled, saying, "If I hadn't changed the identity of a princess, there was actually a way to protect me."

"What is it?" Jiang Xinzhi asked.

"It's very simple. Find someone with a huge power to get engaged to me. Once I get engaged, I will only be half of the Jiang family. If that side has a big power, people here will not dare to make things difficult for me."

When Jiang Xinyi heard this, he refused without thinking, "No, you are so young this year, how could you rush to find someone to get engaged?" He looked at Jiang Ruan's unscrupulous and generous attitude, and was even more convinced that Jiang Ruan didn't understand what the engagement was. He said, "Besides, the Jiang family is close to the Xia family, and the Xia family is close to the Eighth Prince, so it is not easy to find someone who can compete with the Eighth Prince." At this point, he seemed to remember something, and was stunned for a while, without saying a word.

Jiang Ruan looked at him: "Brother?"

Jiang Xinzhi came back to his senses, looked at her strangely, and said, "Aruan, 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 that I said I don't want to get married?" Without waiting for Jiang Xinzhi to answer, she said again: "Besides, things in the world change rapidly, and the husband's family may become a hungry wolf that can eat people. Have you forgotten your mother?"

Zhao Mei was so innocent, but she buried her youth like a flower in the Jiang Mansion. Isn’t it because of Jiang Quan’s ruthlessness?

But in her last life, she was worse than death and her relatives were slaughtered to the point where she was slaughtered. Could it be that Xuan Li used a gentle mask to deceive her trust?

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

Jiang Ruan's eyes were too cold, and Jiang Xinzhi was stunned for a moment. He reached out and touched Jiang Ruan's head: "But he is still a little girl, why do you speak so well?" He said: "With your elder brother here, you won't be wronged."

"Brother doesn't have to worry about me. I have a way to achieve my brother's wish at this palace banquet. My brother also has to promise me something, not to bet on my happiness with his future. For A Ruan, it will be safer for me to take a step further, and A Ruan will be more at ease."

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

At the Eighth Prince's Mansion in the capital, Xuan Li looked anxious, and his eyes, which had always been gentle and affectionate, exuded anger at this moment. Li Dong and the other two actually committed suicide in prison for fear of crime. With Li Dong's character, they would definitely not do such a move. But now his every move is under the eyes of others. When this happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the censors were eyeing him, hoping that he had made any mistakes at this moment. The sent out did not get any useful news. When Xuan Li thought of losing a good chess for no reason, he felt so upset and angry.

Although he had already decided to abandon the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was not at this time. In his hands, he had always wanted to drain the last bit of value. Even if the Prime Minister's Mansion was to be destroyed, it would still be valuable and pave the way for his progress. Unexpectedly, Li Dong and the other two died in prison for no reason, and there was no evidence of death. Those suspicions about him would become a thorn, deeply plunged into the emperor's heart and could not be pulled out.

How could he not be angry about this?

The subordinates around him reported: "Your Highness, you have found out that the one Mr. Li was going to deal with that day was Miss Jiang, but for some reason, he attracted officers and soldiers, and even the Chilei Army was destroyed in one fell swoop."

Jiang Ruan, it was Jiang Ruan again! Xuan Li stood up suddenly and sat back again, feeling stuffy in his heart. Ang Lee thought he had concealed the true strength of the Chilei Army, but in fact everything was in his control. He thought of a certain opportunity and took the Chilei Army to his own use. Unexpectedly, once a huge change, the Chilei Army became a hot potato, and he could only watch it being captured by the officers and soldiers.

Thinking of the sudden destruction of the Chilei Army in several places that day, he couldn't help but suspect that the officers and soldiers were all from the Zhao family and the Guan family. Needless to say, the Guan family was too coincidental. At this moment, he heard from his subordinates that Ang Lee originally wanted to deal with Jiang Ruan, and he gradually understood a little in his heart.

If Jiang Ruan really did all this, then she would be terrible.

He remembered that when Ang Lee had not been arrested, the two chatted. Ang Lee once said: "Miss Jiang's mind is very comparable. If he has the chance, His Highness can consider taking it for himself. If he fails, he must kill him, otherwise he will become a major concern in the future."
