"This is too much, sister. I will make the Jiang family pay back a hundredfold."

Tang Zhao stood behind Xiaoyu, feeling deeply saddened and speaking firmly.

The night banquet ended when Xiaoyu led the troops to set off. Tang Zhao felt bad when he saw Jiang Hao, who was brought back by Xiaoyu and was covered in blood.

Xiaoyu and Tang Zhao were standing in the yard, while Jiang Hao was being rescued inside the house.

This injury is probably far more serious than the last time.

Xiaoyu couldn't hide the cold light in his eyes, and his clenched fists never loosened.

All the imperial doctors were busy in the room. Tang Zhao looked at this scene, then looked at her sister, and blamed herself in her heart.

"It's all my fault for insisting on bringing you along for the autumn hunt. Otherwise, Jiang Hao wouldn't have gotten into trouble."

Tang Zhao lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

"How can I blame you? I just blame some people for being restless and need to be dealt with properly."

Xiaoyu stroked Tang Zhao's back and comforted her with soft eyes.

"Sister, I will make Jiang Xun pay the price."

Tang Zhao said coldly, seeing Xiaoyu sad, she hated Jiang Xun in her heart.

Xiaoyu just patted Tang Zhao silently, his thoughts racing.

"Do you think it really is Jiang Xun?"

Xiaoyu asked in a low voice, playing with Xiao Yun'er's auspicious cloud white jade pendant in her hand.

"Besides Jiang Xun, who else would want to kill Jiang Hao?" Tang Zhao was puzzled and just asked.

Xiaoyu pondered for a moment and said, "At the beginning, I thought it would be Jiang Xun without any hesitation."

"Because he had every reason and motivation to do so."

"But, he shouldn't be so stupid. If I get rid of Jiang Hao, I will only let him and his Jiang family be buried with him."

"He can't be stupid enough to kill Jiang Hao in such an obvious way, unless he is really tired of living."

After Xiaoyu finished speaking, he looked into the distance and began to ponder.

She had a hunch that someone else was trying to muddy the waters.

Although she knew that as long as Jiang Xun was alive, he would always want to get rid of Jiang Hao.

But no matter how you think about it, this matter should not be the work of Jiang Xun.

"Sister, do you mean that someone else wants to get rid of Jiang Hao?" Tang Zhao asked thoughtfully after hearing this.

Xiaoyu shook her head and said with a deep look in her eyes: "No, I don't want to get rid of Jiang Hao."

"Someone wants to use us to get rid of the Jiang family."

Tang Zhao's eyes froze, his expression became complicated, and something exploded in his mind.

"They know how much you value Jiang Hao, and they also know that you and Jiang Xun have fallen out, so they created conflicts and wanted us to get rid of the Jiang family so that they can reap the benefits!"

Xiaoyu nodded, patted Tang Zhao's head and said that he was not too stupid.

"What if it really is Jiang Xun? Should we let him go?" Tang Zhao asked again.

"How easy is it to get rid of Jiang Xun?" Xiaoyu said to himself, shaking his head.

"Not to mention that those men in black are all assassins, even if we investigate, the officials in the imperial city are protecting each other, so what can we find out?"

"Yes, I could have killed Jiang Xun with one sword, but this would have caused public outrage. The Jiang family has an excellent reputation, so we can't do that."

She understood that water can carry a boat but can also capsize it, and she would never put herself and Tang Zhao in such a dangerous situation.

Not to mention that it might not be Jiang Xun, it is more likely to be other forces.

There are people mixed in there who want to get rid of the Jiang family and make themselves fight against the Jiang family.

"Then who will be the beneficiary of the Jiang family's decline?" Tang Zhao listened and pondered, his mind in a mess.

Xiaoyu remained silent while comforting Tang Zhao.

The only beneficiary will be the He family, which checks and balances the Jiang family.

The He family has reasons to do this. The He family belongs to He Chen's faction and may have formed an alliance with Hai Yi.

They will be the beneficiaries, this is a conspiracy.

They knew about the conflict between Xiaoyu and Jiang Xun, so they wanted to use Xiaoyu to get rid of the Jiang family.

It can be said that this is the result that Hai Yi wants to see most.

Hai Xun is an ambitious man with many disciples all over the world, and his reputation is extremely good.

Tang Zhao had only been on the throne for three years. Not to mention the turbulent foreign enemies, the complex forces in the imperial city alone could not be resolved in a short period of time.

For the first time, Tang Xiaoyu felt powerless.

But when she looked at her brother beside her, her eyes became fierce and her gaze was as sharp as a knife.

"The He family will check and balance the Jiang family. If the Jiang family falls, the He family will rise. And part of the He family has already submitted to Hai Wei."

"Once the He family rises, the Hai family will become more powerful than ever before."

"Whether it's the Jiang family, the He family, or the Hai family, they are all mad dogs fighting for power. Once they are pushed into a corner, they will bite people."

"If there is no way to destroy it in one blow, then you must not act rashly."

Xiaoyu said as the auspicious cloud pendant she was playing with suddenly fell to the ground.

She picked it up and wiped it carefully, brushing the dust off the white cloud, and then continued:

"In the original novel, they planted a reputation of cruelty in you, making you a tyrant known by word of mouth."

"One day, they will pull you down from the high platform under the guise of enforcing justice."

"You can't take it lightly. Hai Yi is a man of deep thoughts. I'm afraid he has been planning this for a long time."

"The Hai family has evil ambitions."

"Don't break up with them easily. We need to take a long-term view."

"Your reputation isn't that bad yet. We came early and can have some fun with Hai Yi."

Xiaoyu said, frowning, her fingers constantly stroking the white cloud jade pendant in her sleeve.

She stood there calmly, but Tang Zhao felt that her sister was very sad.

The calmer my sister was, the sadder she felt.

Tang Zhao silently took note of her sister's words and understood in her heart that the factional struggles among the aristocratic families seemed to be fighting against each other, but in fact they were all fighting for imperial power.

From the first day he attended court, he discovered that this dynasty was not as good as he had imagined.

The power of the several aristocratic families that the original owner had personally built up has reached the peak.

The original owner used them to check and balance each other, but he never thought that one day these checks and balances would become stumbling blocks to the development of this country.

The officials reported each other, but the tasks assigned to them were never completed properly. Only the struggle between the aristocratic families never stopped.

He knew that factional strife was a precursor to the decline and fall of a dynasty.

At the same time, he also understood that once the word "tyrant" was branded on him, it meant that he had lost the support of the people and the situation was hopeless.

He couldn't let himself fall to that point, and he couldn't let the Hai family dominate.

But Tang Zhao's eyes were a little confused. He suddenly felt that he could not see clearly the future direction of this country and this dynasty.

I'm also a little scared, afraid that I won't be able to do it well.

Xiaoyu looked at the silent Tang Zhao without saying anything, but heartache appeared in her eyes.

"Don't panic, I'll take care of everything. Little champion of liberal arts, frowning won't solve your problem."

Xiaoyu smiled softly, wanting Tang Zhao to relax.

But the more this happened, the sadder Tang Zhao became. He really wanted to give his sister a better life.

For the first time, he felt that everything he had learned from books was not enough in the face of reality, and there were still too many things he couldn't figure out and couldn't do well.

There was no one around, and Tang Zhao hugged Xiaoyu tightly with tears in her eyes.

"Sister, what should I do? Do you think we can really change this place?" Tang Zhao said helplessly.

Xiaoyu gently stroked Tang Zhao's back and asked without saying anything, "Are you tired?"

Tang Zhao suddenly didn't dare to speak again. He just hugged Xiaoyu tightly and shook his head silently.

He knew that his sister could go away with him, far away from here and these things.

But he didn't want that, he wanted his sister to live the best life without worries.

His eyes became firm and he looked straight into Xiaoyu's eyes.

"Not tired, sister, not tired at all."

"Don't worry, don't worry, okay? I will take care of everything."

Tang Zhao said gently, his eyes full of determination.

"Don't take the pressure on yourself, come and listen to me."

Xiaoyu looked gentle and asked Tang Zhao to lean over to her ear.

She whispered a few words in Tang Zhao's ear, then looked cunning and smiled viciously.

After hearing this, Tang Zhao's eyes lit up and he looked stunned for a moment, but the next second he curled his lips and smiled.

The two exchanged glances, and each understood what was going on.

"If you want to destroy it, you must first make it expand."

After Xiaoyu finished speaking, he looked into the distance with a cold look in his eyes.
