Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

In Yuan Jiangze's memory, Jiang Xin was lame and mute. Ever since he was brought to the palace by Xie Ze, he had been staying in the yard all day tinkering with those useless wood carvings. Even if those things were sold on the street, they would not fetch a few copper coins.

His only ability is probably to rely on his disability to win Xie Ze's sympathy. Apart from that, he is a waste who can do nothing, knows nothing, and is even despised by his own family.

This is probably the reason why Yuan Jiangze is most unwilling and jealous.

Before Jiang Xin appeared, he had always been very careful to hide his admiration for His Highness in his heart, and worked diligently as His Highness's counselor, helping His Highness solve his problems.

He had also thought that, as His Highness, he should marry a gentle and virtuous lady from a noble family to be his good wife. Even if His Highness did not like women and preferred men, the person who could be favored by His Highness must be a talented and proud child of heaven.

Even with such a person, he might not be satisfied.

But, Xie Ze found someone who, except for outstanding looks, was inferior to him in family background, talent, and character. This person was even physically disabled!

Such a person, such a waste, how can he be worthy of His Highness? !

But no matter how unwilling or jealous Yuan Jiang was, it was useless because Xie Ze never needed his satisfaction and had never even paid attention to him.

In Xie Ze's eyes, there was only that lame and dumb waste!

Yes, Yuan Jiangze had always believed this. Until his death, he felt that he had done nothing wrong. Keeping that waste Jiang Xin by His Highness' side would only make him the laughing stock of the world in the future.

He was never wrong. The one who was wrong was Xie Ze who was bewitched by Jiang Xin!

After his rebirth, he was not surprised when he heard that the useless guy had developed glassware some time ago and the virtuous king even opened two shops in the capital and made a fortune because of it.

After all, in his previous life, after the glass formula was leaked, Xie Ze also got involved in this business, so it was not surprising that he could remember these things.

Yuan Jiang only felt it was ironic. In order to elevate Jiang Xin's status, Xie Ze even attributed the ability of creating Liuli to that loser. Could that loser handle it? !

As expected, as the colored glass business became more and more popular, people in the capital began to spread rumors that the good-for-nothing was actually a young genius, extremely intelligent and capable, but he was just a nobody because he was suppressed by his vicious stepmother in the past.

Yuan Jiang let those ignorant people spread Jiang Xin's rumors more and more, and then he calmly asked the Second Prince to spread the news that Jiang Xin was a real loser and that all his abilities were gained by selling his body.

The extreme contrast made everyone's impression of Jiang Xin drop to the lowest point. No matter what Xie Ze did, no matter how much he promoted their so-called... "love", it only made people believe that Jiang Xin was a slut who used her beauty to please men, and made the wise king dizzy.

Originally everything was going smoothly. If nothing unexpected had happened, the emperor would never allow rumors among the people to ferment. In order to stop the losses in time, he would definitely take action against Jiang Xin.

But now, an accident happened.

Yuan Jiangze's face became increasingly gloomy, and he gripped the young eunuch tighter and tighter, until the young eunuch cried out in pain and suddenly came to his senses.

The young eunuch quickly pulled his hand out and said with a bitter face, "Every word I said is true. That Young Master Jiang did develop a weapon called the Heavenly Secret Crossbow. Now the imperial decree to reward Young Master Jiang has been issued. If the Second Prince and this gentleman do not believe it, you can go to the Xianwang Mansion to ask."

If the formula for making colored glaze was copied down by Xie Ze according to his memory and given to Jiang Xin, this is unlikely to be the case for the Tianji Crossbow.

The ability to modify weapons like this requires a very deep understanding of the weapon's structure.

When he was just reborn, Yuan Jiangze certainly thought about inventing those things from his previous life that could increase his bargaining chips.

However, although he might be good at scheming and scheming, he was completely clueless when it came to knowledge related to special fields and had no idea where to start.

Not to mention the Tianji Crossbow, even if it was made of colored glaze, he only knew that this thing made a lot of money, but he didn't remember any of the complicated material formulas.

Although Xie Ze was a reborn person, he was not a craftsman and had not learned the structural principles of these weapons. Even though he had used the Tianji Crossbow many times in his previous life, it was impossible for him to easily draw the structure diagram of this weapon and let the people in the Ministry of War successfully forge it.

What exactly is going on……

Yuan Jiang didn't want to believe from the bottom of his heart that Jiang Xin had this ability. He even began to suspect that Jiang Liangcai had been reborn.

But even if Jiang Liangcai was reborn, there was no need for him to give such credit to Jiang Xin, right?

Yuan Jiang frowned, racking his brains to review what went wrong in his mind. However, the Second Prince had already lost his temper, and as soon as the eunuch left, he frowned and asked:

"Didn't you say that this plan is foolproof? Not only has the emperor not had any grudges against Xie Ze, he has even rewarded Jiang Xin!"

"...Your Majesty cannot be indifferent to the rumors in the capital. It's just that Jiang Xin has just made a great contribution. If Your Majesty severely punishes him just because of the rumors, it will only discourage knowledgeable people in the world." Yuan Jiang gritted his teeth and made up for it awkwardly.

When this was mentioned, the Second Prince became even angrier, narrowing his eyes and saying coldly: "Didn't you say before that Jiang Xin was a useless piece of shit?

He also said that the formula for making colored glaze was not his idea at all. It was because of what he said that I released the news that he was a waste. But now Jiang Xin has even developed weapons!

Now that the imperial decree has been issued, when this matter gets out, everyone will know that the previous news was all rumors. This incident will only flatter Jiang Xin even more. Isn't everything I did before just to help them? ! "

He had not originally planned to deal with Xie Ze right now. It was Yuan Jiangze who kept telling him how threatening Xie Ze was, which made him feel a sense of crisis and decide to take action.

But are they dealing with Xie Ze now? They are clearly helping him!

"..." Yuan Jiangze's face turned pale and blue after being scolded. After a long while, he spoke stiffly: "No matter how great Jiang Xin's contribution is, Your Majesty cannot watch the virtuous king fooling around with a man before he has any children.

As long as the wise king is unwilling to give up Jiang Xin, the conflict between Your Majesty and him will always exist.

Your Highness, please be patient and wait for the right time. We will have the chance to strike Xie Ze with one strike."

The second prince looked at Yuan Jiangze coldly, and thinking of this man's previous brilliant strategies, he finally relaxed his expression slightly, said lightly, "I hope it will be as you wish, sir", and then he returned to the mansion with his sleeves swung.

He also had to find a way to eliminate the source of the news about Xie Zejiang's letter as soon as possible, so as to avoid being targeted by the madman Xie Ze after finding any clues.

As for Yuan Jiangze, the mistake might just be an accident. Considering this man's previous ability, he could let it go for now.

Not far away, Hang Cheng and two other counselors from the Second Prince's Mansion stood together, quietly watching the two men who were preparing to go to the palace in a hurry return in disgrace. One of them sneered and said:

"I thought Mr. Yuan really had the ability to predict the future and was a rare genius, but it turns out he is just a boaster."

"This Mr. Yuan is only about twenty years old. How can he have any real skills? I think his previous brilliant plans were just a blind cat catching a dead mouse." The other person immediately nodded in agreement.

Hang Cheng only glanced in the direction of Yuan Jiangze and then retracted his gaze, saying lightly: "The Fourth Prince and the First Prince have been waiting to catch your Highness with something to hold against him. If they knew that your Highness was secretly dealing with the virtuous king, they would definitely not mind causing some trouble for your Highness.

The most urgent task now is to dissuade His Highness in time. His Highness’s greatest opponent has never been a wise king. We must not lose the big picture for the sake of the small.”

As soon as Hang Cheng finished speaking, the other two nodded in agreement: "Mr. Hang is right."

Previously, His Highness was bewitched by Mr. Yuan and refused to listen to their advice. He was intent on targeting the virtuous king. Isn't this just giving other princes an opportunity to use their power against him?

Now that Mr. Yuan's prestige has declined, they can't let His Highness believe in this man's slander again!

Yuan Jiangze didn't know at this time that many people in the Second Prince's Mansion were dissatisfied with him. He was now completely focused on the fact that Jiang Xin had developed the Tianji Crossbow and couldn't understand it.

To this end, he even disguised himself and went to the Jiang Mansion to inquire about the whereabouts of Jiang Xin's half-brother Jiang Liangcai in recent times.

Upon learning that Jiang Liangcai had only been to the palace once recently, and had dropped out of Baishan Academy and transferred to Qinghe Academy after returning, Yuan Jiang couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Everything was just too coincidental. Jiang Liangcai developed the Tianji Crossbow just after he went to the palace, and he also transferred to Qinghe Academy.

Could it be that Jiang Liangcai used the blueprint of the Tianji Crossbow to exchange for a place in Qinghe Academy from Xie Ze?

He knew that the dean of Qinghe Academy had some connections with Xie Ze's maternal family. Given the Jiang family's current reputation, it was normal that Jiang Liangcai couldn't find an academy to accept him.

Xie Ze is not a person who would meddle in other people's business. Even if Jiang Liangcai is Jiang Xin's half-brother, he didn't pay much attention to him in his previous life, unless Jiang Liangcai really brought him benefits, but...

Is Jiang Liangcai a fool? He used such a merit just to exchange for a mere letter of recommendation to Qinghe Academy?

Moreover, Jiang Liang was able to develop the Tianji Crossbow in his previous life because he had trained in the weapons manufacturing camp of the Ministry of War for several years. He has not had the opportunity to join the Ministry of War in this life!

Or was it that this bastard who was not very prominent in the Jiang family was the one who was really pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger? In fact, he had already developed the Tianji Crossbow before he went to the Ministry of War in his previous life, but at that time, the wife and the legitimate son of the Jiang family had been suppressing him, so he didn't dare to come forward?

This is not impossible. The lady of the Jiang family could be so cruel to her legitimate son. If this illegitimate son did not learn to be smart and keep a low profile, he might have been killed long ago.

Also, since Xie Zedu has been reborn, it is not impossible for him to use Jiang Liangcai to help Jiang Xin and secretly let Jiang Liangcai go to the Ministry of War to learn from those old craftsmen.

Xie Ze is such a person. When he is good to someone, he will pave the way for him step by step and bring the best things in the world to him.

Jiang Liangcai, Fu Xuerong, the Jiang family, and even him, were just stones used by Xie Ze to pave the way for Jiang Xin.

Thinking of this, Yuan Jiangze's expression darkened. He stopped asking questions and turned to leave Jiang Mansion.

No matter what, he and Xie Ze possess the same prophetic ability. Since he cannot develop powerful weapons himself, why not let the Second Prince recruit this person for his own use?

I heard that the Jiang family doesn't get along well with the brothers. For the sake of Jiang Xin, it is impossible for Xie Ze to reuse Jiang Liangcai. Didn't he see that he was sent away with just a letter of recommendation?

As long as this person is brought to the Second Prince's side, not only will Xie Ze lose a great helper, but their lies can also be exposed at an unexpected time, making His Majesty's disgust for Jiang Xin reach its peak...

Just like that, because of Yuan Jiangze's subtle jealousy of Jiang Xin, he missed the truth and went further and further away from the path of being a prophet.

Of course, Xie Ze and Jiang Xin had no idea of ​​his conceited and inferior thoughts for the time being.

At this time, Jiang Xin was in the palace, holding the imperial edict he had just received and packing his luggage with the people sent by His Majesty.

It must be said that the Emperor's uncle and his Highness do have some similarities. At least, they are both decisive and swift. He had just issued an edict to grant him a house, and the next moment he sent a dozen guards to move his luggage, as if he was afraid that the moving would not be completed and would have to be delayed until tomorrow.

Not only that, the ten servants promised to Jiang Xin were also sent over.

There were four maids, two servants, and four strong guards. What they had in common was that they were all quite good-looking.

Whether Jiang Xin likes gentle and beautiful women, delicate and weak men, or masculine and strong men, Emperor Kang Yuan has taken it into consideration. It can be said that he is very considerate, a kind of considerateness that does not care about Xie Ze's life or death.

Xie Ze watched these ten people swaying in front of him, Ah Xin, his face turning from dark to white, and then from white to dark. Just when he couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to beat these annoying guys into pig heads and throw them out, Jiang Xin grabbed his hand, shook it like a spoiled child, and said with curved eyebrows:

"Your Highness, could you help me hold the glass cup? It's your Highness's first gift to me, and I don't want anyone else to touch it."

Xie Ze's anger suddenly subsided. He glanced at his obedient study partner, nodded good-temperedly, and went to get the glass cup.

Jiang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that his highness would beat up the people sent by His Majesty in an impulsive manner. He turned to the others and said, "You guys, go to the new house first and clean up. You don't have to stay here."

"Yes." After hearing Jiang Xin's instructions, several people nodded quickly and left the palace in a hurry.

It was really because the look in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Wise King was too terrifying. If they didn't run away, they felt that they would be killed in the next second, right?
