"Unfortunately, I was still a step too late!"
Even if she returned two years earlier, Dugu Zhi was confident that she could snatch the Empress's throne from Xie Shi before Helian Jue entered the capital.
Dugu Zhi wasn't blindly confident; she had plenty of trump cards up her sleeve.
She was reborn, and she knew everything that Empress Xie had done in her previous life.
Moreover, she knows the future and can be a prophet like a god.
What Xie Yuanhui can do, she can do too!
She knew the future that Xie Yuan didn't know!
Dugu Zhi felt that with her miraculous rebirth, she would surely be able to surpass Empress Xie.
Helping Helian Jue find the main force of the Turks was the first step she took to demonstrate her value.
Helian Jue: ...
He looked directly at Helian Chen, his expression turning ferocious once again.
Helian Chen, I know you're not smart enough, but you can't be this stupid.
Such a crucial military matter, and they actually believed the words of a sheltered young lady?!
Helian Chen felt the sharp gaze of his sage and instinctively shuddered.
He raised his head, desperately trying to put on a fawning expression:
Sage, please don't be angry!
Please consider me as someone who is "desperate for a cure," okay?
Anyway, there's no harm in just listening to what that young lady has to say!
Whether we believe it or not is entirely up to us.
But if it's true, wouldn't that save a lot of effort?
Helian Chen was just hoping for a lucky break.
Helian Jue: ...
The fact that you even have this kind of thought is stupid!
Dugu Zhi naturally noticed the subtle tension between Helian Jue and Helian Chen, the emperor and his subject.
She quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I do indeed know!"
Helian Jue laughed, his alluring peach blossom eyes filled with mockery. "You know?"
How did you know?
Who are you?
"I am the successor of the goddess, guided by the goddess in my dreams!"
Dugu Zhi knew that Empress Xie's position was now secure and that she and Helian Jue were deeply in love.
If she were just an ordinary young lady from a military family, she would have no chance of competing with Empress Xie.
But it's okay!
In her previous life, she married the sixth prince and, like Xie Yuan, was the daughter-in-law of Empress Dowager Xiao.
Through this relationship, Dugu Zhi learned many things.
For example, the history of how the emperor and empress built their fortune in Yuezhou.
Xie Yuan, as expected of the daughter of the Xie family of Chenjun, had a large collection of books in her home, and she could always find some strange and unusual secret recipes in ancient books.
In addition, she traveled all over the country with her father, a famous scholar, since she was a child, and learned about the local customs and traditions of various places, as well as many folk remedies hidden among the people.
Therefore, she invented stir-frying, knew how to make salt by sun-drying, and also created amazing gadgets such as the curved plow (Yuande plow), horseshoes, Kongming lanterns, and bombs (small porcelain bottles).
It was through these means that she quickly amassed a large fortune, assisted Helian Jue in training troops and expanding his territory, and eventually returned to the capital.
After the emperor and empress entered the palace, they built a new city, developed maritime trade, and dug the Grand Canal...
Behind every decree issued by Helian Jue, there was Xie Yuan's influence.
As an emperor with outstanding looks and a high status, Helian Jue would not be attracted to ordinary, vulgar women.
What truly captivated Helian Jue was her extraordinary talent, or the ability to work alongside him.
Dugu Zhi was not clever enough, nor did she have Xie Yuan's insight.
But she had a miraculous rebirth.
Although it was a bit late, it still gave her a chance.
For example, the war against the Turks.
For example, cowpox vaccine, etc., cowpox vaccine has probably not been developed yet.
Another example is that spinning wheel that can spin yarn; it should be called a three-spindle spinning wheel!
Yes, that's it. It improves spinning efficiency.
This also led craftsmen to pay attention to the role of tools.
It was thanks to the three-spindle spinning wheel that the cotton textile industry in the capital gradually developed.
This is an industry capable of changing the fate of many women.
Oh, right, and the waterwheel.
After her rebirth, Dugu Zhi seriously recalled the inventions that she was still able to "steal".
The quantity is rather small, at least compared to Xie Yuan's past contributions, it is still too little.
However, Dugu Zhi was clever; she dressed herself up as a "goddess."
This isn't entirely unfounded. She was able to be reborn and return, and she could even foresee the future. What else could she be but a goddess?
Helian Jue wore an expression that was hard to describe.
He couldn't be bothered to argue with Dugu Zhi.
Helian Chen also gave him a look that said, "Little girl, are you sick?"
Originally, Helian Chen had the idea of trying anything as a last resort, but he never expected that Dugu Zhi, who had just spoken so confidently, was actually a pitiful person suffering from hysteria.
He claimed to be a follower of a goddess and that he had received guidance from her in a dream.
Why don't you just say you're the reincarnation of a fairy from the Jade Pool, or the Buddha's representative on earth?
Although Dugu Zhi was not very smart, she was not stupid.
She saw the distrust in the eyes of Helian Jue and Helian Chen, the emperor and his minister.
She didn't wait for Helian Jue to tell her to get up, but stood up directly.
She walked slowly to the map, extended a slender, pale finger, and drew a circle in a certain spot. (Reading...)
"This place was originally an abandoned ancient city, with only a small water source around it, which is not suitable for setting up a camp."
"However, the Turkic Khan took advantage of this idea and did the opposite, deliberately setting up the royal court here."
"And this place is the residence of the Right Wise King;"
"This is the Left Wise King, and his 20,000 cavalrymen are all hidden here."
Dugu Zhi appeared too calm.
