I Just Won't Play By The Book-Novel

264 A Conspiracy Like Floating Clouds

As the first ray of sunlight shone through the window onto Deng Xianghan’s face, Jiang Beiran realized that it was already ten o’clock in the morning.

After chatting for a night, he found that Deng Xianghan was also a person who liked to be humble. She had her own opinions on the matters of the court and was even very clear about whether there were cliques between officials at all levels. She was simply more emperor than him, who had been an emperor for two months.

“Miss Deng’s words have really benefited Zhen a lot. From today onwards, you will follow Zhen.”

Deng Xianghan was stunned at first, then immediately replied,”This servant accepts the decree.”

She knew that it was impossible for her to follow Jiang Beiran around as the princess of the previous dynasty, so she understood that the Emperor wanted her to be a palace maid.

“Zhen has finished chatting today. Let’s stop here for today.”Jiang Beiran then stood up and walked out of the West Palace, shouting,””Men!”

Although he had asked the eunuchs and palace maids not to follow him yesterday, they would not be too far away. At least, they would not go to a place where they could not hear the Emperor’s call.

As soon as Jiang Beiran finished speaking, Wang Shougui, who had been waiting nearby, immediately went up to Jiang Beiran.

“This servant is here.”

“Bring Miss Deng to change her clothes. Meet me in the study later.”

“Yes.”

After giving out the decree, Jiang Beiran turned back to Deng Xianghan and said,””Don’t sleep today. Later, accompany zhen to the morning court.”

Deng Xianghan was stunned again, but she still replied respectfully,””This servant will obey.”

After giving his instructions, Jiang Beiran strode away from the west.

Looking at the former Eldest Princess, Wang Shougui felt a little awkward, but he still stepped forward and said,””Let’s go. I’ll bring you to change.”

“Thank you, Eunuch Wang.” Deng Xianghan bowed.

On the way to leave with Wang Shougui, Deng Xianghan’s thoughts were extremely chaotic. She thought that she had already grasped the lifeline of the new emperor.

‘No, I should have indeed grasped the lifeline of this new emperor…However, he had only caught it.’

She couldn’t control or even hold the new emperor hostage by grasping this lifeline, because she really couldn’t understand the new emperor. Whether it was his words or actions, the new emperor was ” in waves “, and she couldn’t see his true appearance at all.

From asking for help at the beginning, to suddenly displaying the majesty of an emperor who looked down on all things, to when she thought that he would use her to understand the Liang Country, the new emperor pulled her to talk about national affairs.

Before she fully understood this new emperor, Deng Xianghan naturally did not dare to act rashly. After all, the opportunity…There was only one time. If he lost, he would die without a burial place.

On the other side, Jiang Beiran, who was walking towards the royal study, was also thinking about how to deal with Deng Xianghan.

First of all, he was certain that even though he had completely disrupted the rhythm of the previous dynasty’s princess, she was still very confident in her heart. This was because it was certain that Yin Jianghong would suspect him. Before she had even appeared, Jiang Beiran had already known that this old man was very evil.

Yin Jianghong was like the kind of leader who kept drawing a pie for his employees but didn’t tell them how much he would be given when the pie appeared.

Jiang Beiran believed that everything he had said to her during their chat was true. His ambition was true, his desire to change the Shengguo was true, and he believed that Jiang Beiran was very suitable for her to be the Emperor. But that was only for now.

When the day came for the Sheng Nation to change, everything would be different.

Jiang Beiran believed that when the time came, Yin Jianghong would not only be suspicious of him, but she would also become increasingly intolerant of two or even three voices in Sheng Country. One had to know that when Yin Jianghong first brought him around the palace, she had said…

‘I was the one who wanted to take this seat.’

Jiang Beiran didn’t know if there was a deeper meaning behind Yin Jianghong’s words, but he was sure that the Demon Cult Master wanted to take control of all the affairs of the Sheng Kingdom. If he really wanted to do that one day, where would he go?

Without the System, these problems would have been enough to make Jiang Beiran anxious all day long, and he would have ended up on the same path as Deng Bo.

But the problem was…

Oh, I have the system. That’s fine.

Jiang Beiran didn’t have to live like the previous emperors in the fantasy of being persecuted every day.

He did not have to worry about Yin Jianghong or Guan Shi ‘an setting him up, nor did he have to worry about the officials deceiving each other, forming cliques for personal gain, or even making him the emperor.

This was because the system was like a demon-revealing mirror. As long as it was harmful to him, it would be killed or avoided at the first moment. In the past two months, the three dukes, nine ministers, and local officials were all killed as long as they were jumping options. Those who remained could be said to be loyal and patriotic officials.

It was the same for Yin Jianghong. No matter how much he behaved like a sly old fox, as long as the System thought that this was the easiest route, Jiang Beiran would not be afraid of him. Even if Yin Jianghong still wanted to make an example out of him in the end, Jiang Beiran believed that the System, as steady as an old dog, had already prepared the foreshadowing for him to turn the tables on him.

Therefore, no matter who it was, it was meaningless to play tricks in front of him. There was only one thing he needed to avoid, and that was how to avoid triggering options that did not have attribute rewards. He had a lot of experience in this matter.

‘In short, I’ll suppress that woman first. Don’t let her act rashly. As for that Liang Country… It’s a little troublesome.
