She continued: "As for the death of the wife, she was just being provoked by her second brother. The second brother is now considered a failure. He ignored the way out and obviously wanted to give it a try. I am afraid that he will do something big soon."

When Luzhu heard Jiang Ruan say this, she was shocked and said, "Then are they going to deal with the girl?"

"I'm afraid they won't move." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, but the smile looked a little cold in Luzhu's eyes. She said, "I also want to see who is the winner in this game."

Luzhu didn't say anything, and suddenly seemed to remember something after a moment, and said, "Girl, I heard from Jin Er that Prince Xiao will go to war in ten days."

Jiang Ruan paused slightly and lowered her eyes. Ten days, is it so fast?

Xiao Shao was reading a memorial in the study. The military situation where the fast horses were sent by the frontier were full of crises, but it was already aroused the tension in the situation. Jiang Xinzhi's whereabouts were unknown, Guan Lianghan was injured again, and the morale in the army was depressed. Somehow, the Jin army changed tactics repeatedly and fought unexpectedly. If this continues, the remaining army will be wiped out.

On his left hand is a marching map, even if he is thousands of miles away, he has to control the overall situation. Everyone in the world says that King Jinying is young and heroic, who is in charge of the 300,000 Jinyiwei, but no one has seen him in the wisdom of strategizing thousands of miles away. It takes more than a month to go from the capital to the border. Now he can only write down the defense method for the border, and hold on for the time being. When he comes to the battlefield in person, he will catch the enemy off guard.

The room was silent, and all the Jinyiwei retreated. He had not closed his eyes for a night and had carefully studied the enemy's formation and had not eaten anything until now.

The door was suddenly pushed open, Xiao Shao frowned, and smelled the aroma of food at the tip of his nose. He was slightly stunned when he saw the visitor. Jiang Ruan came by himself with snacks and porridge.

Although she lives in Prince Jinying's Mansion these days, the two of them abide by etiquette and never do anything beyond anything. What's more, Xiao Shao usually sees the dragon and doesn't see the tail, runs outside during the day, and comes back at night to study military formations. The two rarely meet each other. Jiang Ruan is even more deserted. She lives in Prince Jinying's Mansion every day, but she doesn't even want to leave the yard.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ruan came in person now. Xiao Shao was stunned. Jiang Ruan had already walked to him, put down the snacks and porridge, and said, "The osmanthus cake and chicken porridge made in the kitchen are not too sweet. I have tasted it, and it tastes very good." She did all this very naturally, as if she had made it thousands of times. Xiao Shao glanced at her without any action.

"You haven't eaten for a day." Jiang Ruan said: "You want to starve to death in your own house?"

Jiang Ruan is always gentle in her daily life, and always maintains a smiling expression on her face, which makes her facial features look vivid and bright. However, when she looks closely, the smile does not reach her eyes, as if it is just a very good mask, which makes people feel a faint alienation. However, she rarely leaks emotions. Except for those close to her, she also has mostly comforting expressions when facing Jiang Xin, and never has any particularly unhappy expressions.

She is a person with a clear distinction between love and hate, but whether it is love or hate, it is hidden under the expression of a smile. This makes her smile a little intriguing. Both smiles have a different meaning. For example, at the moment, she is clearly smiling, but the anger and displeasure in her eyes are finally seen by someone.

Xiao Shao said "um" and silently took the spoon from Jiang Ruan's hand, slowly scooped a bite of the porridge and tasted it. He felt that there was nothing special about food on weekdays, but for some reason, he felt that it was particularly delicious today. Xiao Shao was in a happy mood and quickly finished drinking the porridge. Even he ate all the pastries he didn't eat much on weekdays.

Jiang Ruan was very satisfied with Xiao Shao's sensibility, sat down opposite him and said, "I heard you are about to go to war?"

She asked so hard, but Xiao Shao didn't think anything was wrong and replied: "Yes."

"You... must be careful." Jiang Ruan thought about it and still gave a message. In the future, she would still marry the person in front of her. No matter what he was, it seems that Xiao Shao has been helping her unconditionally. She no longer trusts people easily in this life, but Xiao Shao is an exception. She paused and said, "I will guard the Jinying Palace for you."

Xiao Shao was shocked by her words again and couldn't help but look up at her.

Xiao Shao knew what kind of person Jiang Ruan was. Since she first met her, Xiao Shao could see clearly that this girl was calm and decisive, cruel and ruthless, full of hostility. She seemed to have many secrets, and she stubbornly sealed her heart in a corner. She seemed to be a heartless person, but in fact it was not the case. She did everything for Jiang Xinzhi and tried her best to protect the Zhao family. Even Xuan Pei, who had only met in the palace, would help her. She was actually a person who protected her in a very short-lived person, but there were too few people who could protect her.

What she said today is actually a promise. This is a promise to him. She is saying that the Jinying Palace will become part of her responsibility from now on. I will protect it for you...

The girl in front of her had bright eyes and zirconia. Her eyebrows and eyes were already picturesque. Unlike Jiang Susu's beautiful appearance, her facial features were all not exquisite in life. Now she gradually shed her childishness and showed a bit of peerless charm. The pair of bright and moist eyes, like a clear spring in the mountain stream, hooked at the end of her eyes, and formed an excellent charm. When she smiled slightly, it seemed that the setting sun in the sky was reflected in her eyes.

Xiao Shao admitted that he had seen countless beauties in his life, and at this moment, he couldn't help but admit that the girl in front of him could indeed bear the four words "the witch of the country". If she had the ambition to be here and seduce her carefully, she would probably have conquered the emperor who loved beauty, she would probably have turned over because of her.

"You don't need to do these." Xiao Shao looked at her and said, "The Jinying Mansion will protect you. If you can't protect it, you don't have to worry about it."
