"I am not here," Xiao Shao hugged her, perhaps in comfort: "I won't do what he wants."

"I know." Jiang Ruan lay on Xiao Shao's chest, and the man smelled sweet and sweet smell of grass, and with a slight chill of late night dew, he felt extremely at ease. She said, "But you have to know that the emperor may have expected today. I think that he intends to be the emperor and will definitely prepare somewhere to let you sit in this position. The most important thing, the most important reliance, is the imperial edict."

Perhaps Xiao Shao did not understand the emperor. The Jinyiwei was everywhere in the world and had the most clever information, but Xiao Shao was a killer and the leader of the Jinyiwei, but he was not a person who was good at speculating on people's hearts. He was also too distant to the emperor and did not deliberately get close to him because of his own blood. How could he say that he understood it?

But Jiang Ruan was different. In the years when Jiang Ruan spent her previous life in the palace, in order to help Xuan Li, she also used various methods to inquire about the emperor. Naturally, she paid a lot of money in it, but she also made her understand more deeply. The emperor, no matter what outsiders look at, was in such a position, and he was very clear about the means in the palace. He also used this method in his previous life, which was to write an imperial edict a long time ago. Because of this, people were panicked about the re-establishment of the crown prince. Xuan Li decisively took action before the imperial edict was issued. The emperor's last bargaining chip was completed before it could be carried out with Xuan Li's iron-blooded means.

Now things have happened again. The emperor wanted to issue an imperial edict before. Jiang Ruan was almost certain that Xuan Li's people had already learned the news and knew that the candidate for the imperial edict was not him. He was so decisive that they wanted to kill the emperor and then successfully ascend to that position in their own way. However, there was no Thirteenth Prince in his previous life, and there was no obstacle in front of Xuan Li, but now Xuan Pei has killed him in nowhere.

"He killed Eunuch Li, perhaps because he wanted to find someone to replace Eunuch Li's position and find out the secret of the imperial edict." Jiang Ruan said softly: "I think it is not only the imperial edict, but also the emperor's thoughts, he should also secretly instruct his confidant ministers to stand up and confirm your identity when necessary." Xiao Shao's identity could not be known by too many people for a while, otherwise Xiao Shao would be the target of public criticism. It was the same thing that the emperor forced Xiao Shao, but he still had to do his best to protect his life.

"I will find the imperial edict." Xiao Shao whispered: "Then burn it, no one will know."

What he burned was not just an imperial edict, but his future life and his imperial path. Jiang Ruan suddenly felt a little sad. It shouldn't have been like this. Xiao Shao was the emperor's destiny. In the last life of his previous life, he clearly had the country of Dajin Dynasty, but in this life she changed his destiny and he was no longer an emperor.

But so what? She doesn't want to let go. If Xiao Shao wants to be the emperor, she will let him go. If she doesn't want to, even if she fights for this life, she will not let those people succeed. Protecting what she wants is the meaning of her rebirth.

Xiao Shao saw Jiang Ruan’s strange appearance, raised the corners of his lips slightly, kissed her forehead and said, “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

"Okay." Jiang Ruan smiled: "I'll leave it to you."

The couple said something again, and Xiao Shao then got up to take a bath. What he didn't see was that after he turned around, the smile on Jiang Ruan's face condensed, and his eyes suddenly became a little deeper, as if they were not as happy as before. She slowly said to herself: "Since you don't want to be the emperor, then I will do it for you." She lowered her eyes and whispered: "Leave it to me."

That night, there was another person in the Jinying Palace. He stood in a secluded corner in the palace garden. There was a huge iron basin in front of him. From time to time, some flames burst out from the iron basin, mixed with some dark yellow or charred paper money. He was burning paper money for someone.

The cold wind blew over. Although it was early spring and it was always a little cold at night, the man was only wearing a thin long gown, just like a blue shirt worn by the most ordinary student in the academy. At this moment, he was sitting on the ground, with a pot of wine and two wine glasses beside the iron basin, but there was only one person.

This person is nothing but Butler Lin. He was a little confused when he looked at the beating flames, as if he was missing something. Suddenly he smiled again and said, "Old Li, I said you are too stupid. You have been in this position, why did you still say to others? Look, now, before I even drink with you, you leave yourself first. I am so cold." What he said seemed a little funny, and there was a smile on his face, as if he was not sad, but in this smile, there was a little loneliness and sadness.

"At the beginning, the three of us, you, me, the prince, were a scenery in the capital. Alas, although you are a eunuch, you are not as good as you are with me and the prince. When we went out, many girls turned around. Alas, it would be a pity if you were not a eunuch." Butler Lin said to himself, as if he felt that what he said was extremely interesting, and he laughed unconsciously. His eyes looked through the flames that were beating in front of him, as if he had seen what had happened a long time ago.

At that time, Prince Hong Xi was still a handsome young man. He was a handsome Tanhualang. Although Li Zi was a eunuch, he was smart and pleasing and handsome. Whenever Prince Hong Xi slipped out of the palace privately, he would always bring them both with him. The three of them were very happy, probably like the three gentlemen in the storyteller's mouth. Prince Hong Xi was originally approachable. Since he met the princess Xiang Xiaoyuan, he bought his grandmother and did not even distinguish the rules and levels. In front of Prince Hong Xi, the three of them were equal.

It is indeed equal, so when the news of Prince Hong Xi's death came, Little Li Zi and Butler Lin were really hurt. But Butler Lin chose to resign and retire, and he wanted to keep the only bloodline of his friend. But Li Zi stayed in the palace. This does not mean that Li Zi is a wolf-hearted person. This may be another method he used to commemorate his friends - stay here and assist the king, even if it is just to serve tea and water for the king, as long as he can contribute to the country he has been seeking for his life.

So many years have passed, butler Lin has become a real butler, as if he has forgotten all his literary and martial arts. Every day, he is worried about only some trivial things. He devotes all his energy to Xiao Shao. With his cleverness in the palace, Little Li finally became the chief manager, Eunuch Li, by the emperor.

They have never contacted each other for so many years, but they know that they are living well and each of them has their own choice of life. Butler Lin raised his head and poured the two wine glasses in front of him. Then he touched each hand and sprinkled all the wine in one of the glasses on the ground.
