Does he want to take a gamble? Of course I do.

What she described allowed the high-handed manipulator to plead guilty for the mistakes he had committed, and the Guo family, which had been burdened with infamy for many years, was vindicated.

If he could really do it, he would be able to wake up laughing even while sleeping.

But... he also clearly knows how much price he will have to pay to achieve this, and even if he pays the price, he may gain nothing in the end.

His heart that was ready to move was held back by himself again.

After taking a deep look at Jiang Li, Yue Mingcheng looked calm and said, "Jiang Li, in what capacity are you speaking to me now?"

Jiang Li smiled, "Of course in my capacity as Princess Donglin."

"Uncle Yue, we are not from nowhere. We have the prince Qin Jue in front of us. As long as everything goes well, we won't even have to bear the reputation of being a traitor and traitor."

"The emperor is old, and now the power behind the prince has been deposed. In order to seize the throne, there will eventually be a battle between these princes."

"If you miss this opportunity, once the emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, no matter who the successor is, he will never rehabilitate the Guo family."

He was the one who fought for the throne with other princes and was killed. Whether he was justified or not was not yet known. How could he take the risk to rehabilitate the Guo family when his own throne was not necessarily secure?

Especially since it was the sin committed by the late emperor, and the new emperor would tell the world about it, no matter what, he would be called unfilial. No one would do such a thankless thing.

If you want to redress, you can only do it personally while the old emperor is still alive.

Jiang Li doesn't need to analyze these things for Yue Mingcheng, he must understand them himself.

Yue Mingcheng pursed his lower lip hard and asked again, "Prince Donglin... If I remember correctly, he is just a prince who the emperor left to fend for himself in the cold palace."

"He has no support from his mother's family and has never even read a book. Why do you think such a person can win?"

Jiang Li smiled, "Of course it's up to me."

"I have a brain, I have the Flame Army behind me, and I have already won over some of the important officials in the court. Now my chances of winning are greater than those of King Jing'an or the Crown Prince."

"Uncle Yue, you don't think that by supporting Qin Jue to rise to power, he is really the one who controls the situation, right?"

She pointed to herself, "The person who really controls the whole situation is me."

Yue Mingcheng took a deep look at Jiang Li, and suddenly felt that he couldn't see her clearly.

Although he and Jiang Li's father are close friends, because Jiang Li has never been to the border, this is actually the first time the two of them have met.

After his friend's death, he also thought about his old relationship and asked someone to find out some news about Jiang Li.

But the news he received at first made him a little disappointed. The news said that Jiang Li was capricious, brainless, and vain, and was just an ordinary sweet girl raised in a boudoir.

It can be said that there is no connection between her and the Jiang family.

It was also because of this that Yue Mingcheng completely lost interest in Jiang Li. Knowing that she was happy in the palace and not thinking about Shu, he didn't care about anything anymore.

But it wasn't until he actually saw him today that he realized that this person was completely opposite to what he said in the news!

In less than an hour of conversation, he had already seen the terrifying aspects of Jiang Li.

Even at this time, he had not really seen her skills and abilities, but he completely believed that she could do what she said.

Taking a deep breath, Yue Mingcheng said, "What... do you want me to do?"

Jiang Li smiled happily.

Because asking this sentence means that Yue Mingcheng is completely moved.

And she was extremely sure that Yue Mingcheng would not refuse the conditions she proposed next.

She said: "You don't need to do anything, just give me an extra convenience."

"You also know that the Flame Army is here, and I may have to go through Ningcheng for many things in the future. When the time comes, Uncle Yue will make it easy for me and don't let the news get out, which will be the greatest help to me."

Yue Mingcheng was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief, "That's it?"

He was surprised that Jiang Li had spent so much time trying to convince him. He thought that he would at least let him hand over Ningcheng's army to her, but he didn't expect that it was just a convenience for him?

Jiang Li knew what he was thinking, so she smiled and said, "Ning Cheng's troops may be needed when necessary, but I will not move unless it is absolutely necessary."

"After all, your reputation in this life cannot be ruined casually in my hands, right?"

Once Ningcheng's troops were mobilized, Yue Mingcheng would not be able to escape the reputation of "forming a clique for personal gain" no matter what.

It's not easy to blame an old man in his life. Jiang Li said he was merciless, but in fact he still respected people like him.

After all, being able to never forget a fiancée who has been dead for many years is a rare and affectionate thing.

What's more, this is her cheap father's friend. Even if she is not her biological daughter, she can't just ignore everything, right?

Hearing what Jiang Li said, Yue Mingcheng looked a little complicated.

Originally, maybe Jiang Li had put forward more tricky conditions, and he had to think about it again.

But it was so simple...he simply couldn't refuse.

"I have only one request." Yue Mingcheng said: "If it fails, my people must not be implicated."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Uncle Yue, don't worry. I'm just letting you do it secretly. Even if we lose, you won't be blamed."

"But once I succeed, I will definitely do what I promised Uncle Yue today and let him personally vindicate the Guo family. Can you rest assured?"

Yue Mingcheng nodded solemnly, "Okay, then we will make an agreement."

After taking care of Yue Mingcheng, today is not in vain.

After the two agreed on their contact information, Jiang Li did not stay any longer.

After staying at an inn in Ningcheng for one night, Jiang Li casually walked around Ningcheng and bought a lot of things early the next morning. Then he took Lan Yin back to Donglin County with unfinished thoughts. .

"Princess, what should we do next?" Lan Yin was a little confused about what to do next.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Don't do anything, just wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for...an opportunity."

If I remember correctly, in three months, Liang Guo will launch an attack on Qing Guo for the first time.

And this war started from the border of Ningcheng.

Qin Jue in the original work truly stood out due to his outstanding performance in this war and won the respect of the entire Lieyan Army.

In addition, Yang Jin also died in this war, so it became a logical thing for Qin Jue to replace Yang Jin and take over the Flame Army.

But now it's different from the book.

She will not let Yang Jin die, and the person who really shines in this war will no longer be Qin Jue, but her.

This... is the true starting point of her journey.
