Growth strategy

Mu Qiushui pulled out a smile and asked, "Why should I save her?"

Xiao Yi was stunned, and said after a while: "What do you want?"

Mu Qiushui snorted softly: "Jiangtang, what else do you have besides being the prince? What promise can you give me?"

Mu Qiushui asked again, "Do you regret it?"

"I regret it," Xiao Yi bowed low, the young man was once high-spirited, and shouted that I would walk the road I chose to the end without any regrets.

Her so-called pride was shattered.

Seeing Xiao Yi's pale face, Mu Qiushui was even more unhappy.

But he still stepped forward to check He Jinzheng, "Although the pulse condition is unstable, but there is still breath, let's go back to the palace first."

Xiao Yi returned to the palace with Mu Qiushui in a daze.

Fengqi Palace.

Jiang Yufei sat in the middle of the main hall as usual, with her fingers on the phoenix chair. When she heard the news of the death of her most powerful helper, she didn't move her fingers or change her face, her face was still cold.

After confirming the news of her death, Xiao Yi finally fell to her knees.Despite the grief in her heart, she tried hard to control her emotions.

"What do you want to ask?" Jiang Yufei said lightly.

"Who ordered me to be assassinated?"

"Heh" Jiang Yufei sneered, "Jiang Tang, you are the prince, how many people want to kill you? You should recognize your identity."

"Including you?"

Xiao Yi stared closely at Jiang Yufei, observing her every move, her clenched fists revealed the tension in her heart.

Jiang Yufei smiled coldly, "I underestimated you, you and Li Wu will start practicing martial arts tomorrow." Jiang Yufei got up and walked towards the inner hall with a cool voice.

"The little girl from the He family was given amnesia medicine. When she wakes up, she will forget the past. You don't have to worry too much."

"Jiang Tang, you have to understand who you are, you need help, otherwise you can't protect anyone, the next one might be He Jinzheng."

Xiao Yi's eyes were glazed, she didn't know how long she had been kneeling in the hall, Jiang Yufei's words severely tore off the disguise, and turned into a knife that pierced her heart.

When she got up, her knees were sore from kneeling for a long time, and she staggered a few steps before standing still. Almost unconsciously, she came to Mu Qiushui's residence.

The door of Mu Qiushui's residence was not closed, it was half open, as if he knew there would be a visitor.

Xiao Yi pushed the door open and entered, and found that Mu Qiushui hadn't gone to bed, but was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, drinking wine, one glass after another, as if unconsciously drunk.

Xiao Yi snatched the wine glass and said loudly, "Help me!"

Mu Qiushui seemed to be drunk, and it took him a while to realize it. A pair of watery eyes looked at Xiao Yi, and he gently parted his red lips, "Do you have any bargaining chips?"

"no"

Xiao Yi said, seeing Mu Qiushui started drinking again, and continued, "Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future. I know you want Jiang Yufei to leave the palace, but once she leaves, it will be more difficult to revive the family, and your goal will be difficult to achieve. She can't go."

Xiao Yi saw Mu Qiushui's eyes on her, and she puffed her chest out and said, "If I become the throne, everything will be solved."

Her eyes were shining, and Mu Qiushui looked at her with a half-smile, "Come here with your ears."

Xiao Yi pricked up her ears, only heard the word "Gu". Before Mu Qiushui finished speaking, she fell headlong on the stone table. No matter how much Xiao Yi shouted or even pushed hard, she couldn't wake up. He was already unconscious. .

Xiao Yi left angrily.

At night, under the cool moonlight, Xiao Yi tossed and turned, feeling restless.

She has no way of judging whether Mu Qiushui is really drunk or not, and she doesn't know what "Gu" refers to.

Jiang Yufei hinted that if she still couldn't show her value, she would not hesitate to squeeze out the last bit of her value.

With the death of the prince, there will always be turmoil in the previous dynasty. It is unknown who will benefit in the end, but Maotou will definitely point to the upstart.Jiang Yufei of the aristocratic family was naturally happy to see what she wanted.

The dawn was about to break, and Xiao Yi hadn't slept all night, but she was still getting ready to get up.

She thought that she had to understand everything and people before she could plan for the future. She could risk her life, but He Jinzheng... She hoped that this little girl would live a safe and happy life, which she owed her.

After Xiao Yi finished washing, Bi Xi was summoned.

"Bixi, I have something to ask you."

It's really ridiculous, when Jiang Yufei sent Bixi to her side, she actually made her a maidservant, the pearl was dusted, no wonder she hated her.

"The servant girl knows everything," Bixi invited, and stood aside with bowed eyebrows, waiting for Xiao Yi to ask.

After questioning and answering, Xiao Yi finally knew where it was.History is always a joke. Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, history has changed.

The aristocratic family did not decline because of this, but became stronger.In the previous dynasty, the Jiang, Mu, Lou, and He families were the leaders and controlled the government.

Although the Gu family is also an aristocratic family, their status is detached. The ancestors of the Gu family helped Emperor Wen Yuan to rule the world.

As a price, the Gu family was not allowed to engage in business or politics, and only one person entered the court as a prime minister.

The first emperor was under pressure when he ascended the throne, and the Gu family still held the position, but now it is hanging again and again.

After all, the current prime minister's surname is not Gu.

The descendants of Emperor Wenyuan were also up to the task, and the dynasty lasted for nearly 400 years.At the time of the last emperor, the first emperor revolted and overthrew the old dynasty, and today is only the second generation of emperors.

Knowing the general idea, Xiao Yi's eyes flickered, and she asked, "Is the imperial examination held this year?"

Xiao Yi heard the little maid talking outside in the morning. "Master Gu", "Xinke No. [-] Scholar", "Merry and Handsome"

"Yes, the champion of the new division is Gu Chengfeng, the son of the former prime minister." Bixi replied.

"You go down first."

"Yes"

Watching Bixi leave, Xiao Yi chuckled lightly.

Her good mother asked her to go to Gu Chengfeng, how could she not obey?

The next day, news about Gu Chengfeng was delivered to her case.

After thousands of searches, Xiao Yi finally found a chance to meet Gu Chengfeng.
