The daughter of the mansion is slapped in the face every day

Jiang Yunxi sat on the bedside, with her palm close to her heart, trying to calm her breathing, "Is there any news from Daizhou?"

Nan Nan thought about it carefully. "The news that came earlier said that Master Jiang had robbed the merchants of their food. This food can temporarily solve the Third Prince's problem and should last for a while. The imperial court's grain transport vehicles have also set out one after another in the past few days. I think Daizhou is fine."

However, when Nan Nan saw Jiang Yunxi waking up in shock, she felt that Jiang Yunxi seemed to be able to predict the future.

Jiang Yunxi asked her today, perhaps because he had sensed something bad, so Nan Nan did not dare to speak too confidently.

"However, Daizhou is still quite far from us. The news we have received now are all from the past. I wonder how things are going over there now?"

Jiang Yunxi closed his eyes and nodded, his expression still somewhat solemn.

"Princess, you need to have a good rest. I'll stay with you, you can sleep well." Zhen Zhen saw that Jiang Yunxi's face was a little pale and was very worried about her condition.

Zhen Zhen sat on the edge of the couch, holding Jiang Yunxi's hand tightly, as if she was going to keep a close eye on Jiang Yunxi.

"You go to sleep, I can sleep." Jiang Yunxi blew out the candle and lay down obediently, "You guys should also have a good rest. I don't have anything to do, you don't have to watch over me."

Zhen Zhen and Nan Nan then went back to the outer room and lay down.

Jiang Yunxi lay on her side, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the embroidered patterns on the pillow. For a moment, she felt a mixture of emotions that were difficult to describe.

After being reborn, she knew that Zhao Zheyong would attack those aristocratic families, but she still turned a blind eye to them.

Although she had already informed those noble families anonymously in advance, according to her dreams, no one believed her and no one took precautions in advance.

But she couldn't use all the hard work that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had put into building up over the years to confront Zhao Zheyong face to face.

She couldn't afford this kind of loss.

She couldn't do so much for a stranger.

To be honest, Jiang Yunxi actually hoped that these aristocratic families would fall into the hands of Zhao Zheyong, so that she would have a basis to attack Zhao Zheyong.

I did nothing when they were alive, but I seek justice for them after they died. I don’t know whether this is to comfort the dead or just to give myself peace of mind.

Jiang Yunxi closed her eyes.

--------

Nan Nan walked in with the secret report, she was in a hurry, not caring about anything else, her eyes were full of fear.

"Princess, it's bad. There's a plague in Daizhou. The Third Prince has started to seal off the city to prevent the plague from spreading."

Jiang Yunxi was stunned. These things were completely different from her memories of her previous life.

In his previous life, Zhao Zheyong returned to the capital in high spirits with the glory of successfully controlling the flood, and was praised by Emperor Zhao Changta.

There was absolutely no such thing as a plague.

Could it be that these changes happened because she sent Jiang Siqi to Zhao Zheyong in advance?

However, Jiang Yunxi admitted that the lie that there was a plague in Daizhou City was a very clever one.

It is reasonable and logical for a plague to occur after a flood, and others would not be suspicious.

The plague can not only explain the sudden deaths of those nobles from wealthy families, but also blockade the city of Daizhou and prevent the aristocratic families from conveying the true situation in the city.

Jiang Yunxi could vaguely feel that after blocking Daizhou City, Zhao Zheyong and Jiang Siqi would start a new round of massacres to eliminate future troubles.

In his previous life, Zhao Zheyong did not go to such lengths to do this.

Was this idea proposed by Jiang Siqi?

Jiang Yunxi could even guess what would happen next:

After a while, Zhao Zheyong will announce to the public that the epidemic has been brought under control.

He helped the emperor accomplish two major things: one was to control the flood problem in Daizhou, and the other was to cure the plague in Daizhou.

Zhao Zheyong could also find excuses to conceal the grain sent by the Ministry of Agriculture, and either hoard it or resell it.

With these grains, Zhao Zheyong has a way to advance himself.

What a great calculation.

Jiang Yunxi almost applauded for them.

If this idea was really thought up by Jiang Siqi, then she admitted that she really underestimated Jiang Siqi.

She thought that by finding someone to induce Jiang Siqi to make a mistake, Jiang Siqi would then instigate Zhao Zheyong to take risks.

Unexpectedly, these two people made things worse by themselves.

It was exactly what she wanted.

Because, she was not the only one staring at Zhao Zheyong.

"Is there really a plague spreading in Daizhou?" Jiang Yunxi looked at Nan Nan with a sneer on his face.

Nan Nan frowned. "The person who brought the message back was not very sure. There was still no plague in the city. However, a separate area was set up outside the city to isolate those who were infected with the plague. There was also a special place for burning the dead outside the city. The fire was burning non-stop and thick smoke was billowing. At least this face-saving effort was done well, so that people would not suspect anything else."

"It seems that the governor of Daizhou is very optimistic about Zhao Zheyong and is willing to cooperate with Zhao Zheyong to weave this lie." Jiang Yunxi slightly clenched the letter paper in his hand.

Li Chunlai, the prefect of Daizhou, has lived quietly in a corner for many years and never participated in the fights between the princes.

I don’t know what benefits Zhao Zheyong promised Li Chunlai that made Li Chunlai willing to work for him.

In both his previous life and this life, Li Chunlai has joined Zhao Zheyong.

Jiang Yunxi felt that there was still room for investigation into the matter between Zhao Zheyong and Li Chunlai.

"Go and check if there is any leverage that can be used to control Li Chunlai, the county magistrate of Daizhou." Jiang Yunxi rubbed her fingers. She wanted to use this leverage to counter Zhao Zheyong and Li Chunlai.

"Is there any other expert around Zhao Zheyong? Or a secret reporting organization that can help Zhao Zheyong collect intelligence? Go and check it out clearly."

In his previous life, Zhao Zheyong had always been wary of Jiang Yunxi, and he probably didn't dare to tell Jiang Yunxi the whole truth.

Jiang Yunxi was a confused person in his previous life, but he cannot be confused in this life.

Of course, she had to know what weapons the enemy had in their hands so that she could figure out how to use them and provoke conflicts.

"Then tell the Queen and the Crown Prince about the suspicious points about the plague in Daizhou and the cooperation between Zhao Zheyong and the governor of Daizhou."

Jiang Yunxi knew that Queen Meng Jingshu would definitely reveal this matter to Concubine Wei Yanyan accidentally.

Meng Jingshu knew that Wei Yanyan had a more urgent reason to deal with Zhao Zheyong, because Zhao Zheyong first threatened the eldest prince's position in the heart of Emperor Zhao Changta, and Concubine Xian would do anything to achieve the eldest prince's position.

Meng Jingshu just sat on the mountain and watched the fight between the two tigers.

However, Jiang Yunxi did not want to show up in public at this time. She could use the virtuous concubine Wei Yanyan to punish Zhao Zheyong and completely remove herself from the matter.

It is just like the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
