The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 508 Best Friend (3)

"I don't want to do that," Xiao Shao held her in his arms and replied softly, "I won't do what he wants."

"I know." Jiang Ruan lay on Xiao Shao's chest, the man smelled the sweet scent of bamboo wind, and there was a slight chill from the night dew, she said: "Just you need to know, Your Majesty Perhaps he has already expected today, I think, he intends to make you the emperor, and he will definitely make preparations somewhere to let you sit in this position, and the most important thing, the most important reliance, is—imperial decree."

Maybe Xiao Shao didn't know the emperor, Jin Yiwei was all over the world and had the most brilliant intelligence, but Xiao Shao was a killer and the leader of Jin Yiwei, but he was not a person who was good at guessing people's hearts.For the emperor, he was also too distant, and he didn't deliberately get close because of his flesh and blood relationship, so it can't be called understanding.

But Jiang Ruan was different. During the years Jiang Ruan spent in the palace in her previous life, in order to help Ye Li, she also used various methods to inquire about the emperor. Naturally, she paid a lot of price, but she also Make her understand more deeply.The emperor, no matter what outsiders looked at him, in such a position, he was very clear about the methods in the palace.He also used this method in his previous life, that is, he wrote down the imperial decree a long time ago. Because of this, the matter of changing the crown prince was panicked, but Ye Li acted decisively before the imperial decree came out. The final bargaining chip, under the means of Ye Li Tie Xue, was over before it was deployed.

Now things are happening again, the emperor wants to make an imperial decree before, Jiang Ruan is almost sure that Ye Li's people have already heard the news, and know that the person in the imperial decree is not himself, so they will act so decisively, they To kill the emperor, and then, as a matter of course, use your own way to get to that position.It's just that there were no thirteen princes in the previous life, and Ye Li had no obstacles in front of him, but now, Ye Pei came out of nowhere.

"He killed Eunuch Li, perhaps because he wanted to find someone to replace Eunuch Li and find out the secret of the imperial decree." Jiang Ruan said softly: "I think it's not only the imperial decree, but also the emperor's thoughts, and he should also order it in secret. Your confidant minister, when necessary, stand up and prove your identity." Xiao Shao's identity cannot be known by too many people for a while, otherwise Xiao Shao will become a target of public criticism. It is one thing for the emperor to persecute Xiao Shao, but he still has to do his best. efforts to protect his life.

"I will find out the imperial decree." Xiao Shao said in a deep voice: "Then burn it, and no one in the world will know."

What he burned was not just an imperial decree, but also a kind of life in his future, his road to emperor.Jiang Ruan suddenly felt sad, it shouldn't have been like this, Xiao Shao was the emperor's order, and in the last life, he was the one who ruled the Dajin Dynasty, but in this life she arbitrarily changed his destiny, and he no longer Is an emperor.

But so what?She didn't want to let go. If Xiao Shao wanted to be the emperor, she would let him go. If she didn't want to, even if she risked her life, she wouldn't let those people succeed.Protecting what she wants is the meaning of her rebirth.

Xiao Shao saw Jiang Ruan's strangeness, raised the corners of her lips slightly, kissed her forehead and said: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

"Okay." Jiang Ruan laughed: "I leave it to you."

The husband and wife talked again, and Xiao Shao got up to wash up. What he didn't see was that after he turned around, the smile on Jiang Ruan's face froze, and his gaze became a little dark for a moment, as if it was not as good as Just so happy.Slowly, she said to herself: "Since you don't want to be the emperor, then I will naturally do it for you." She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "Then, leave it to me."

……

That night, there was another person in King Jinying's mansion. He was standing in a secluded corner of the palace garden, with a huge iron basin in front of him. From time to time, flames sprang out from the iron basin, mixed with some dark yellow Or charred paper money, he was burning paper money for someone.

The cold wind was blowing. Although it was early spring, it was always cold at night, but this man was only wearing a thin long gown, just like the blue gown worn by the most common students in the academy.At this moment, he was sitting on the ground, beside the iron basin, there was still a jug of wine and two wine glasses, but there was only one person.

This person is none other than Steward Lin. He looked at the dancing flames and seemed to be missing something. He suddenly smiled and said, "Old Li, I think you are too stupid to be in this position." Why did you follow someone else's way? Look, this is good, you left before I asked you to drink, and I'm so shabby when I drink alone." What he said seemed a little funny, with a face There is also a smile on his face, as if he is not sad, but in this smile, there is a little more loneliness and sadness.

"Back then, the three of us, you, me, and the crown prince were like a scene in the capital. Hey, although you are an eunuch, you are not bad looking, although not as good as me and the crown prince. When the three of us went out, how many girls turned around? Hey, it would be a pity if you weren't an eunuch." Lin Butler said to himself, as if he thought what he said was extremely funny, and he laughed unconsciously.Through the dancing flames in front of his eyes, he seemed to see things from a long time ago.

At that time, Prince Hongxi was still Pianpianjia's son, he was a handsome Tanhualang, although Xiao Lizi was a eunuch, but he was clever and pleasing, and his appearance was also pretty.Every time Prince Hongxi sneaked out of the palace, he would always bring the two of them with him. The three of them were very happy, just like the three gentlemen in the storyteller's mouth.Prince Hongxi is always approachable, since he met the concubine Xiang Xiaoyuan, in front of them, there is no distinction between the rules and ranks. In front of Prince Hongxi, the three of them are equal.

They are indeed equal, so when the news of Prince Hongxi's death came, both Xiao Lizi and Steward Lin were truly heartbroken.It's just that Lin Butler chose to resign and go into seclusion. He wants to guard the only blood of his friend.However, Xiao Lizi stayed in the palace. This does not mean that Xiao Lizi is a wolf-hearted person. This may be another way he used to pay homage to his friend—stay here, assist the king, even if it is just for The emperor brings tea and water, as long as he can contribute to the country that this friend has sacrificed his life to win.

So after so many years, Lin Butler has become a real butler, as if he has forgotten all the literary and military strategies in the past, and he only worries about trivial things every day, and he puts all his energy on Xiao Shao .And Xiao Lizi relied on his wit in the palace to finally become the chief steward next to the emperor, Eunuch Li.

For so many years, they have never been in touch, but they know that each other is living well, and everyone has a life of their own choice.Lin Butler raised his head and filled up the two wine glasses in front of him. Then he touched each glass, and then spilled all the wine in one of the glasses on the ground.
