"Because what I want to do is to eradicate the Tianming Pavilion, but these rats in the gutter are best at hiding, and there are people in the court helping them."
He withdrew his fingers from the table and began to stroke the blood jade on his robe, saying slowly:
"If we want to catch these people in one fell swoop, we must let them launch their real plan first. And Jiang Huaizhu, as a chess piece, must be where she should be."
Jiang Xiancao understood what he meant.
He wanted to take advantage of the enemy's strategy and play the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole waits behind.
"The emperor's uncle is a man who can accomplish great things. It is not my nephew's place to interfere with your plans. However, no matter what your plans are, no matter who Jiang Huaizhu becomes, I will not let Jiang Huaizhu and the Jiang family go."

I told you that you can go ahead and do whatever you want, and I will help you resist the pressure that Marquis Wenning and those noble families are putting on the emperor, because that's the content of our cooperation."
Jiang Xiancao translated his words in simple and rough language in his mind:
If he wanted to be the one in control of the overall situation, it would be difficult for him to deal with people like Marquis Wen Ning in person, so he needed a "dog" to bite and charge for him. This dog might not need to be very smart and obedient, but it must be fierce and fearless enough, and she just met the requirements.
