Is the Scum Worthy of Whitewashing?

Xu Du was reading the memorial when Xu Jiang walked into the bedroom.

Although Xu Jiang has been named the prince, Xu Du did not transfer all his rights to her. Everything must be done step-by-step, and the administration of dynasties is no exception.

Besides, she still has a lot to learn.

Xu Jiang was a little absent-minded today.

"Have you seen Shen Cun?" Xu Du wrote down with a pen.

"Yes."

"Have troubles? But because of Shen Cun?"

Xu Du's eyeliner is all over, Zhao Rui Shen Cun breaks in the day, and Shen Cun enters the palace in the afternoon to make a rabbit lamp for Xu Jiang, all of which he already knows.

"You did very well."

This is Xu Du's sincere praise.

The handwriting on the silk was neat and beautiful, and Xu Jiang stared at the few words written by Xu Du and sighed softly.

"Father..." She hesitated for a moment, and said, "How about Zhao Rui, it doesn't matter if you are a child or a minister. But Shen Cun, after all, has no grievances or enmity, and there is even a teacher-student friendship."

Years of forbearance in the dream aroused her hatred of Zhao Rui and tempered her mind to become more calm.

It's just that Xu Jiang is not a cold-blooded person after all. Facing Shen Cun's affection and righteousness, even if he is merciless, he will inevitably feel soft.

But can Shen Cun's affection really last? In the long run, I can't ask for it, and I don't know that his xinxing will not change. Xu Jiang was destined to be unable to give back his feelings, and his persistence became devilish, and he might eventually suffer from it.

"If you want, the widow can immediately make an announcement and marry you two." Xu Du wrote, "But, Ajaan, you have to understand what you really want... If you want to get something, you will give it. The price required."

Xu Jiang was horrified. She had made up her mind a long time ago and wanted to sit on the throne and overlook the wonderful rivers and mountains of the world.

Should not be confused by irrelevant things along the way.

What she had to do was never a gentle and kind-hearted back house woman. What she saw before her was a thorny road. Her enemies were many, such as Zhao Rui who secretly planned, the Shen family who dominated the Liang Kingdom, and the countries east of Qiushan. ...These are obstacles to moving forward.

And this road to the throne has never been a retreat. Having chosen, it will die if you don't advance, and there is no more room.

Being soft-hearted will only harm others and yourself.

Xu Jiang's gaze gradually became firm, and he bowed his body to salute: "Thank you for your father's enlightenment... I understand."

That's good. Xu Du looked at her leaving behind. There were many unknowns waiting in front of him. He couldn't predict them all, and he couldn't always guard her. Only his own strength is enough to withstand all winds and rains. Of asylum.

Xu Du retracted his gaze and saw Li You wanting to say something but stopped, so he raised his hand and motioned him to say it.

"Will the king be too harsh on His Highness Xingping?" Li You hesitated for a moment, and said softly.

However, all wombs will be disturbed by seven emotions and six desires, joys and sadness, desires and deep thoughts, thoughts, words, and actions are all radiated from the inside because of feelings inside, and detached emotions are acted by reason. For a living person, it's too harsh.

Is it too harsh? Xu Du thought.

He has always had this kind of thinking, and even with the teaching female protagonists, it is inevitable that he has such a color... Xu Du has never questioned himself about such guidelines.

However, Shicai saw Xu Jiang's confused and perplexed expression, but there was a moment of hesitation in his heart. Is it really the right choice to lead her on this path?

When Xu Jiang is strong enough that no one can threaten her anymore, what about after that? What should she do to spend the rest of her life?

These Xu Du had never thought carefully, and he was not good at explaining such problems.

There is no answer.

Since then, it has been around for half a month.

During this period, Xu Jiang was not idle, and invited Shen Cun and Zhao Rui separately to get along with each other separately, and they got in touch with each other again.

Jin Yi also entered the Proton Mansion under her arrangement and waited on Zhao Rui's side.

Late at night, Muyue Palace.

"What's the situation?" Xu Jiangduan asked, sitting in front of the book table, looking at a volume of memorials.

"It's exactly as your Royal Highness expected." Jin Yi reported, "Zhao Rui intends to show his favor to the servants."

Xu Jiang chuckled: "He has this problem. He thinks he can get people's hearts between his five fingers and play with him, so my palace let him fold it on top of it."

This is her purpose for arranging Jin Yi to enter the Proton Mansion.

It's not that there is no other way to place the spy, but time is pressing. If someone secretly intervenes, it will be difficult to get close to Zhao Rui in a short time, so it would be better to clearly arrange the manpower.

Of course Zhao Rui is not that stupid, but based on his understanding of the previous life, Xu Jiang knows that Zhao Rui has a weakness, that is, he is too confident in himself, thinking that all the women who are used by him are desperate towards him-so Xu Jiang will After allowing Jin Yi to enter the Proton Mansion, he pretended to be admiring Zhao Rui secretly, and came up with a plan to invite you to enter the urn.

Simply put, it is a contest between utilization and anti-utilization.

"So, what task did he arrange for you this time?" Xu Jiang arranged the memorials after reading them neatly by category, and looked up at Jin Yi with a smile.

"It's a bit strange this time." Jin Yi muttered, "In addition to collecting news from the palace and reporting your actions to your Highness, there is also... to ask the slave and maidservant to investigate your travel arrangements today."

"Oh?" Xu Jiang frowned slightly, "Why?"

"He didn't say." Jin Yi shook his head, "but I still hope that your Highness will be careful. The Proton Mansion has been a bit weird recently. For some reason, the number of people in the mansion has been dwindling. The slave and maidservant watched carefully the day before, and they were actually heading overseas... I am afraid that the rain will come, and there will be a big move."

After hearing her words, Xu Jiang thought.

The only thing that can be connected is the domestic unrest. I think that Zhao Rui has heard the news in recent days and began to slowly shift his power to the country.

But the current situation does not quite match the dream. She vaguely remembered that Zhao Rui returned to the country of Yu at that time, and it was considered a good one. He returned to the country as a special envoy of the Liang State and represented the alliance between the two countries. Of course, this is just an excuse. Zhao Rui's real purpose is to support his brother Zhao Zhuo in the upper ranks, and then cross the river to demolish the bridge.

"There's one more thing," Jin Yi said. "The slave and maid secretly investigated and discovered that in recent days, Zhao Rui and Wuping Jun's concubine Shen Xing had been in close contact, and they seemed to be planning something."

Shen Xing? Xu Jiang remembered that this person seemed to be Shen Cun's concubine, but she hadn't paid attention to this person on weekdays, and was a little confused for a while.

At this time, Jun Wu Ping was ill, and after a short time, it was time for Shen Cun to succeed him as Patriarch. As for Shen Xing, it seemed that nothing happened to him...

Xu Jiang slowly turned his thoughts, and suddenly thought of a section, and breathed.

A layer of cold sweat crawled on his back.

I felt that something was missing before, but now that this clue is connected, Zhao Rui's intentions gradually surfaced.

If Zhao Rui wants to return to China to support Zhao Zhuo, he must have a huge force in his hands. In his previous life, he used Shen Cun's power to help Zhao Zhuo ascend to the throne. But in this life, under Xu Jiang's separation, Shen Cun has been alienated from him, and it is difficult to borrow any more.

Therefore, he must remove Shen Cun, and the future Patriarch of the Shen family must be in the same camp as him. This is not an easy task, but if Zhao Rui can return to Yu Kingdom and persuade Zhao Zhuo's mother, Concubine Yang, to use Yu Kingdom as the backing of Shen Xing, then he will have the strength to compete with Shen Cun for the position of Patriarch.

Moreover, compared with Shen Cun, Shen Xing had mediocre aptitude, so he was completely reduced to Zhao Rui's puppet. Liang Guo will also face internal and external troubles, and things will become tricky.

Too dangerous.

Xu Jiang suddenly got up and paced back and forth in the hall.

Jin Yi frowned when she saw her frown. She didn't know about Yu Guo's disorderly politics, so naturally she couldn't connect the whole thing together.

"Jin Yi." Xu Jiang calmed down a bit and ordered, "Tell Zhao Rui that I will go to Qiushan in five days."

"As for other news in the palace, half-truths are revealed to him. I think you naturally understand how to say it."

"Yes." Jin Yi whispered.

"And this, bring it to him." Xu Jiang took out a hydrangea kit and smiled coldly, "So he said I'm sick with love, I can't sleep at night... You just make up a few words and make a superficial look. effort."

Jin Yi took the kit, and Xu Jiang glanced down at her: "Jin Yi, my palace admires you very much. This matter is over, the Lu family is full of grievances, and my palace will wash it for you, even if... the opponent is the Shen family."

Jin Yi's real name is Lu. Ten years ago, the Lu family was murdered by the Shen family and ransacked the family. At that time, Jin Yi was a young woman and she escaped death, but she also fell into Huayuewu and suffered a lot.

Naturally, she did not dare to tell Xu Jiang about this secret. Since the Chu party's rebellion, the king of Liang and the princely daughter have placed their trust in the Shen family and their reliance. She is a little servant girl who dares to fight against the Shen family and will undoubtedly seek her own death.

But Xu Jiang already understood her life experience, and after a little scrutiny, she knew what she was thinking.

"In addition, someone in this palace found your younger brother, and has sent someone to protect him and put it in a safe place." Xu Jiang said again, "When Zhao Rui is removed, your brother and sister will be reunited."

"My brother?" Jin Yi stunned in shock and trembled for a while, "What your Royal Highness said...is it true?"

"There is no lie."

"His Royal Highness, Jin Yi has nothing to repay." Jin Yi has always been quiet, but his family members can not help but become excited. He immediately knelt down and bowed and choked. "

Xu Jiang looked at her and smiled slightly.

Both grace and prestige, while she gave Jin Yi the grace, she also held her family in her hands as a bargaining chip in exchange for her loyalty.

"I don't need you to die."

Xu Jiang helped her up and whispered softly.

"You will get more... live well and use it for me."

Five days later.

Another year comes autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are pale, the old green of the autumn mountain cedar forest fades the old green, and the new red is dyed, as if the cardamom girl took off the green green skirt, traced the eyebrows and put on the bright red wedding gown, Feng Guanxia , Scorching its blossoms, almost fascinated people's eyes.

A lot of things happened at this time last year.

Xu Du taught her the principle of shooting and hunting, the first time she met with Shen Cun, and then the Chu Dang rebelled, and then all fell under the throne's file... So far, looking back, there is still a **** breath in the tip of the nose.

Today, there will be a big killing, so it seems that Qiushan is an excellent hunting place.

"His Royal Highness, the dark guard has been ambushing." Li You whispered.

Xu Jiang deliberately borrowed Li You from Xu Du today. He is the confidant of King Liang. In addition to being the chief of internal supervision, he also has the right to dispatch some dead soldiers.

Xu Jiang nodded.

Another palace person handed over the secret letter from Jin Yi. The above recorded was whether Zhao Rui had hooked up with other women, but Xu Jiangzao agreed with Jin Yi on the secret letter, and picked out the words in the corresponding order. , And got the news Xu Jiang wanted.

Zhao Rui is coming to Qiushan.

Assassinating Zhao Rui is actually not the best way. After all, his identity is Proton, and a little carelessness will cause the two countries to meet each other.

But Liang Guo could not sit still. Fortunately, there was an internal disturbance in Yu. When King Lao Yu died, it was too late for his sons to fight for the throne. How could there be time to control Zhao Rui's life and death?

Besides, in Xu Jiang's plan, killing Zhao Rui was only the first step.

Qiushan is the border between Liang and Yu. He secretly threw Zhao Rui's body into the territory of Yu Country, and then arranged rumors that Zhao Rui wanted to return to the country to seize power, but was killed by his brother. In this way, Liang Guoke conversely, by denouncing justice for Zhao Rui, intervening in Yu's internal affairs, and supporting suitable candidates to ascend to the throne, killing two birds with one stone.

Xu Jiangping retired and walked alone in the mountains and forests, seeming to enjoy the scenery of autumn mountains leisurely.

If there is not so much trouble, the scenery here is still quite poetic. It's a pity that today's matter is very important, and she can't take it lightly.

Not far away came the sound of Sha Sha's footsteps. Xu Jiang turned around and saw Zhao Rui walking towards her with a horse.

"Zixiang?" Xu Jiang clutched his heart, as if surprised, "Why are you here? It shocked me."

"The scenery of Autumn Mountain is the best at this time. I will come here to relax at this time of the year." Zhao Rui smiled gently, "I don't want to meet Ajaan. It makes me happy."

"I don't want us to bump into each other. Isn't it true?" Xu Jiang blushed slightly and said in a low voice, "I asked Jinyi to give you the kit, did you receive it?"

Zhao Rui looked at her deeply, then hugged her.

"Received, she also brought your words."

Xu Jiang glanced at his slightly frowned brows and lowered his eyes: "Look at your frowning brows, are you worried?"

"It's really troublesome." Zhao Rui hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Ajaan, you have reached the age when you should be married. I don't know what the king has for you...I can't marry you as a wife in one day, my heart, I can't settle down either."

"Father's mind is changeable, and I can't see it through." Xu Jiang sighed quietly, "Since that day I have shared my thoughts with you, I have made up my mind that you will not marry. Father had also deliberately promoted you and me. It’s a good thing, but—Shen Cun’s side, but there are signs of a change of heart, the father and he...he hesitated again."

"How can this be good?" She frowned.

Zhao Rui hated secretly in his heart, and as expected, Shen Cun was making trouble from it.

He was about to speak, but suddenly realized something was wrong, and then, a feather arrow shot at Xu Jiang in a "swish" manner.

Zhao Rui pulled her away and avoided the arrow.

"Someone assassinated?!" Xu Jiang's face was pale, and he glanced at Zhao Rui.

"Don't panic, I'm here." Zhao Rui said solemnly, picking Xu Jiang up, "Let's go--"

As soon as he raised his whip, the horse hissed, and galloped through the mountains and forests, bringing the wind and howling.

Suddenly dozens of people in black appeared in the previous bushes, and they drew their bows and shot arrows at them. A few arrows hit Zhao Rui. However, he didn't appear to be in pain, but his brows wrinkled slightly, and then he even more. Drive the horse under the seat vigorously.

"Are you okay?" Xu Jiang tremblingly asked.

"Don't worry." Zhao Rui hugged her tightly, "I didn't suffer any injuries."

He was full of anger and seemed to be fine.

Xu Jiang lowered his eyes, and it seemed that he really was wearing a protective clothing like a heart armor, and he didn't let the dead soldier lie in ambush, but he was on the right track.

For Zhao Rui, he must hit with one blow. If he survives the assassination of Liang Guo, then when he returns to Yu State, the two countries will not be far away from the war.

The horse ran wild for a long time, and finally got rid of the dead men behind him. Zhao Rui breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the reins, hugged Xu Jiang off the horse, and took a rest under the tree beside him.

"Unconsciously, I ran to the top of Qiushan." Zhao Rui looked at the surrounding scenery and laughed. "Turn over to the other side and walk for two days and one night to reach the territory of Yu Country."

"You can still laugh, I'm almost scared to death." Xu Jiangbai gave him a glance, looked at the small scar on the side of his neck, and said in surprise, "Zixiang, you are injured—"

He was taken aback, stroked the wound on his neck, smiled and comforted: "It's really okay, it didn't hurt to the point."

Xu Jiang sighed: "It's better to deal with it. I have medicated powder on my body, so you can unfold my clothes."

Zhao Rui was wearing a protective suit, and he really didn't suffer any injuries. He wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it. This action would enhance the relationship between him and Xu Jiang, so he didn't refute, and did what she said.

Xu Jiang's temperament is reserved, even after mutual understanding, there is rarely any active intimacy, and now she has sent it to the door, and he has no reason to accept it.

Zhao Rui unbuttoned his shirt and exposed his chest in front of Xu Jiang. Although he wore armor and armor, he still left some slight skin injuries. Xu Jiang leaned in front of him, dipped his handkerchief with the powder, and gently On the wound.

He looked down at Xu Jiang applying medicine to him, his heart soft.

"Ajiang." Zhao Rui gently stroked her hair and whispered, "Follow me to Yu Country...will you?"

Xu Jiang smiled: "What do you want or not? You are going to return to Yu Country. When the time comes, my father will give you the marriage, and I will have to follow you back."

"I can't wait for that time." Zhao Rui was silent for a moment and said, "I will leave today. Yu Country is in chaos, and I must go back."

"What?" Xu Jiang moved his hand, "You mean, you want to enter Yu Country directly from the other side of Qiushan?"

"Yes, would you like to be together?"

"This..." Xu Jiang was a little embarrassed, "This is too sudden."

She was silent for a while, continued to give Zhao Rui medicine, and whispered softly: "Zixiang, if I leave Liang Guo just like this and leave with you, do you know what this means?"

Zhao Rui looked at her, and then heard Xu Jiang continue to say: "This means that I will give up everything, from now on, as your woman, give everything to you... Will you treat me well for the rest of your life? Change my heart and I will have nothing."

He was in a daze, and suddenly thought of Xu Jiang from the previous life, helpless, and had his eyes gouged.

"I won't." Zhao Rui stared at her deeply, "If I break my oath, I won't die."

"Shhh-don't talk about death."

Xu Jiang's tone became more gentle.

"Since you are interested, your concubine should go with you."

She fell into Zhao Rui's arms.

Zhao Rui hugged Xu Jiang and laughed in relief.

What was lost and recovered is finally recovered.

"Ajaan, no matter the ends of the world, are you willing to go with me?"

"That's natural."

Xu Jiang's voice was shallow, and it sounded like a warm breeze in the late spring, which made people feel crisp and itchy.

But when she finished speaking the last word, Zhao Rui felt cold.

He looked down and saw a dagger stuck in front of his chest, not to the hilt.

The author has something to say: Zhao Rui: Are you willing to go with me no matter the ends of the world?

Xu Jiang: I don’t have a b-number in my heart? Go to **** by yourself, bye~

By the way, let’s take a spoiler, Zhao Rui hasn’t gotten the box lunch yet...

Then, because there will be an exam this Sunday, I need to prepare a little bit more fat today~ I will return on time after the exam on Sunday morning!
