Wei Hanzhou's promotion makes no difference to the people in Wei Laosan's family.

In their eyes, the sixth rank and the third rank are the same, they are both officials.

At Liu Tangxi's suggestion, Wei Lao San used his family savings to buy ten acres of land.

Because he made a lot of money from growing vegetables last year, Wei Lao San had planned to grow more this year.

Although there is more land, there is no need to hire temporary workers. When it is busy, Liu Tangxi will ask the servants on the farm to come and help.

This job gradually became popular and many people were scrambling to get it.

Of course, Liu Tangxi would not let them come for nothing, and would give them more monthly wages based on the hours each person worked.

Although he could earn more money from selling sugar-coated haws and aloe vera, Wei Laosan was much happier growing vegetables than selling sugar-coated haws and aloe vera.

After all, farming is what he has done all his life.

Now he doesn't have to do much work, just stand aside and give orders.

Wei Daniu continued his studies in the carpenter's shop.

Wei Erhu stopped delivering goods and worked as a waiter in the shop, learning from the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper knew his identity and did not dare to neglect him. Not only did he tell him a lot about opening a wine shop, he also asked the accountant to teach him how to do accounting.

Since Zhongxing also went to school this year, Zhou didn't have to look after him anymore. In order to open a restaurant earlier, Zhou followed Wei Erhu to work as a helper in the restaurant kitchen.

Zhang still embroiders at home.

Although Wei Lao San's family did not feel much about the transfer, others did not think so.

Although the high officials and nobles in the capital had long known that the emperor valued Wei Hanzhou, they had never imagined that he would value him so much and give him such a high position right away.

To be honest, the third rank was not considered a very high rank in the noble families of the capital, but when everyone was in panic after the new emperor ascended the throne, this promotion represented more than just rank, but more importantly, the emperor's favor.

Wei Hanzhou rose from an obscure minor official of the sixth rank to the center of power.

On the other hand, the previous number one scholar had long been on the side of the crown prince. He was first dealt with by the third prince, and now by the new emperor. He had been transferred out of the capital a month ago and became a county magistrate in a remote place. And the woman he later married was also divorced by him when he was imprisoned in the Dali Temple.

This behavior caused me to be scolded by many people.

Nowadays, more and more people want to surround Wei Hanzhou and curry favor with him. Even if others do not curry favor with him, they are still polite to him.

The fact that Wei Hanzhou was given an important position was of great significance to the often neglected Huai'enbo Mansion.

Uncle Huai En discovered that this son-in-law was really amazing.

He had underestimated him before.

Although the Huai En Marquisate still has a noble title, the nephews and nieces below are not very useful. Now the one who is most valued by the emperor is none other than Wei Hanzhou.

During this period, Uncle Huai En often went to the farm to "accidentally meet" his son-in-law under the pretext of visiting his grandson.

It's a pity that the son-in-law was too busy and he never saw him.

However, Uncle Huai En still sent a lot of good things to the manor.

Yin naturally agreed very much.

She had always felt that the Earl's Palace belonged to her daughter, and she wanted to move all the good things in the palace to her daughter.

Liu Tangxi looked at the expensive jewelry and antiques that were sent to her from time to time, and whispered to Yin: "Mom, isn't this too much? Dad would be unhappy if he knew. You'd better not send any more."

Unexpectedly, Yin said, "This is what your father asked me to bring to you."

"ah?"

"Don't worry, just keep them. You are the legitimate daughter of this mansion. The others are all born to concubines. How can they compare with you? These should belong to you."

"Can……"

"Don't worry, take it. Your father is a powerful man. Now that he sees that his son-in-law has a high position and is favored by the emperor, he realizes how good he is. Humph, he deserves it. Now that something has happened, he knows how good your uncle's family is and how good you are. Just think of it as his compensation for ignoring you over the years. You don't have to say good things for him. I have seen clearly that he is a man of no ability. It is good enough for him to keep the title left by his ancestors. If he really gets power, who knows what trouble he will make."

Liu Tangxi had the same idea as Yin.

Seeing that Yin was somewhat unhappy because of her refusal, she did not dare to say anything more and accepted it. However, she was thinking in her heart that if her uncle or General Shengyuan's mansion was in trouble in the future, she would definitely do her best to help.

Uncle Huai En not only sent gifts to his daughter's home, but also to his relative, Wei Lao San's home.

When he passed by, he saw Wei Lao San working in the fields, and quickly asked his servants to help.

At the same time, they also proposed to give him a house and land, and to arrange a good job for Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu.

This frightened Wei Lao San so much that he quickly harnessed his horse and went to Liu Tangxi's house.

After telling Liu Tangxi about the matter, I went back with peace of mind.

Liu Tangxi was a little angry when she heard this. Her father's behavior was really speechless. He used to look down on Wei Hanzhou and his family, but now he was rushing to build relationships with them, regardless of whether others needed it or not.

In the evening, Liu Tangxi told Wei Hanzhou about this.

The next day, she went to the Marquis' Mansion and told Yin about the matter.

Yin only knew that Huai Enbo went to the home of the third elder Wei yesterday, but she didn't know what he did. However, after hearing what her daughter said, it was indeed his style.

When Lord Huai En returned home, Yin followed up with a conversation with him, sounding somewhat serious.

Huai Enbo knew that he had done something wrong and was very depressed, so he was not so tactless as to make arrangements for Wei Laosan's family.

After the house in the capital was tidied up, Liu Tangxi took his son back.

It has been four or five months since the last hasty escape.

After staying in the manor for a long time, listening to the noisy sounds outside, it feels a little unreal.

"Why do I feel that the capital is a little more lively than before?" Liu Tangxi said.

Madam Cheng smiled and said, "That's right. It is indeed very lively. Not only has the tax on the land been reduced, but the tax on merchants has also been reduced by 50% compared to before. That's why everyone is coming here to do business."

Liu Tangxi nodded, and was once again glad that he had accidentally saved Prince Jian that year.

Looking at the smiles on the people's faces, for a moment, Liu Tangxi suddenly felt that his golden finger had achieved its greatest effect.

Saving King Jian means saving the people.

Soon, the group arrived at the Minister's Mansion.

When I pushed open the door, I saw that the yard inside was indeed much bigger and more beautiful than the previous one.

The servants came over and tidied it up a bit before, but didn't make any major changes.

Now that the mistress Liu Tangxi is back, we can slowly embellish things.

When Liu Tangxi returned to Beijing, the happiest person was none other than Wei Hanzhou.

This way, he didn't have to go to the farm every day. Moreover, he could eat lunch cooked by his wife again.

In the evening, after Wei Hanzhou came back, Liu Tangxi put her arms around his waist, buried her head in his chest, and said, "It's great. The capital has returned to peace. We don't have to worry about being scared anymore."

She doesn't have to worry about the male and female protagonists in the book killing her, nor does she have to worry about Wei Hanzhou being beheaded.

Wei Hanzhou lowered his head and kissed Liu Tangxi's hair, saying, "Well, don't be afraid from now on. Your husband will definitely protect you."

Liu Tangxi rubbed Wei Hanzhou's chest and said, "Well, I believe you."

Wei Hanzhou touched Liu Tangxi's hair from time to time, and suddenly he thought of something.

"There is something I want to tell my wife."

"Ah? What's the matter?" Liu Tangxi raised his head from Wei Hanzhou's arms and asked.

"Miss Liu Er is making a move again."

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi blinked, with a feeling that it had finally come.

She had always thought that Liu Luan was not someone who would be so resilient as to spend his entire life in the temple.

The rumors about Liu Luan that had spread in the capital before seemed to be fanned by someone, and those rumors made Liu Luan seem particularly smart, comparable to a minister in the court.

At that time she felt something was wrong.

However, she didn't know what Liu Xuanan was trying to do and why he wanted to create such a reputation.

If it is said that Marquis Huai En wanted to escape the punishment from the Emperor, that would be too much. There was no need to explain the old events in such detail.

"What did she do?" Liu Tangxi asked. She was quite curious about how Liu Xuanan would turn the tables.

"A month ago, she sent a letter to the emperor, and then two more."

"What's written in the letter?" Liu Tangxi continued to ask.

Ever since the matter of Liu Luan was mentioned, Wei Hanzhou has been staring at Liu Tangxi's expression.

Because he knew that his wife and this sister did not get along.

However, he did not find any uneasiness in the lady's eyes, but instead saw curiosity and excitement.

Thinking of the second girl reminding her lady to escape, Wei Hanzhou felt that the relationship between the two sisters might not be as bad as he thought.

"Miss Liu didn't mention anything about herself and the Marquis Huai'en's Mansion, nor did she mention the Third Prince. Instead, she analyzed the personalities, strengths and weaknesses of the ministers in the court, who was suitable for what official position, etc., and proposed some methods to stabilize the ministers and the court."

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi was a little disappointed and said, "That's all? Nothing else?"

From reading novels, she knew that Liu Yanan was a smart person. She had also clearly sensed this in the past few years. Now that Prince Jian had ascended the throne, she was still waiting to see how she would change, but she didn't expect that she was still the same as before.

Wei Hanzhou didn't know what his wife was expecting. Hearing these questions, he shook his head and said, "No, Miss Liu's letter is all about the affairs of the court. The purpose is to stabilize the court for the emperor and win the hearts of the people."

Liu Tangxi frowned slightly, thought for a while, and asked, "What is the emperor's attitude?"

Wei Hanzhou thought for a moment and said, "The emperor was very surprised. He didn't expect that Miss Liu knew the court officials so well. The emperor has only been in Beijing for a few years, so he doesn't know as much as Miss Liu."

"Did the Emperor tell my second sister to come out of the temple?"

"No. The emperor agrees that Miss Liu is more capable than men. If she were to become an official, she would not necessarily lose to men. But he does not agree with her way of doing things. Some of Miss Liu's practices are different from what the emperor thinks. The emperor prefers ministers who are open and aboveboard and have good intentions. Miss Liu has been with the third prince for many years and is good at conspiracy."

Liu Tangxi thought of the methods used by the heroine in the book, and had to agree with Wei Hanzhou. From the heroine's perspective, the crown prince was cruel, and the third prince was stronger than him. The heroine seemed to be getting rid of harm for the people.

But objectively speaking, although the heroine dealt with a more brutal prince, not everything was just, and some things were mixed with selfish motives.

"But she has maintained a bottom line over the years and has not done anything extremely evil." Liu Tangxi defended her.

"Yes, that's true. In the past two years, the Third Prince has been acting more and more outrageously, but many of these things were not proposed by Second Miss Liu. After the Third Prince married his first wife, he relied more on Marquis Wei Zhen, and Second Miss Liu stepped aside. If not for this, the Emperor would not have allowed Second Miss Liu to live. Also, she had saved the princess before, so she would not have died based on this. If she didn't want to stay in the temple, the Emperor would have allowed her to come out once the Third Prince's clique was cleared."

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi felt mixed emotions.

To be honest, she really didn't like Liu Luan very much, and didn't agree with her way of doing things. But, looking at her now, she felt that -

Somewhat angry.

Yes, she couldn't explain why, but she just felt angry.

She was still thinking about it while she lay in bed.

She originally thought that Liu Luan had come to her senses when he reminded her and Princess Fuping to escape quickly.

But now it seems that she did not help the third prince, but her style of doing things has not changed at all.

Prince Jian had just ascended the throne, and because he had seized the throne from Emperor You, many people secretly disobeyed him, and some even accused him of being illegitimate.

He really needs to stabilize the court.

However, Prince Jian was not a greedy person. He seized the throne not only for himself, but more for the people.

Liu Xuanan was bent on gaining power and trying to please those in power, but he used the wrong method.

Thinking about how Liu Xuanan saved her that day, Liu Tangxi wanted to have a good chat with her.

Liu Tangxi turned over and asked, "Husband, can I go see my second sister?"

Wei Hanzhou didn't expect his wife to say such a thing. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay."

Early the next morning, Liu Tangxi took a carriage to the temple.

When Liu Tangxi arrived, Liu Xuanan was sitting on the steps in the yard looking up at the sky.

Hearing the noise, Liu Yunan looked over and saw that the person coming was Liu Tangxi. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be the first person to come to see me."

Liu Tangxi dismissed the servants who were accompanying him and said unceremoniously, "I'm so sorry, the person who came is not the one you wanted."

As she spoke, she sat down next to Liu Luan.

"How could that be? I would love for my elder sister to come and see me." Liu Luan said with a smile.

After saying that, she turned and looked at Qinghe.

"Go to the temple and fetch some water."

Qinghe knew that her girl wanted to get rid of her, and looked at Liu Tangxi with some caution.

"Go ahead, I have something to say to Big Sister."

"Yes, girl."

Soon, they were the only two left in the entire courtyard.

Both of them looked up at the sky and no one spoke.

When the first bird in the sky flew past him, Liu Luan said calmly, "Do you know what I used to do?"

Liu Tangxi said calmly, "I know."

"Hmm? You know? Then tell me about it." Liu Luan said with a smile.

When saying this, Liu Luan didn't believe that Liu Tangxi would know.

After all, she had never told anyone.

"You are an orphan. Your parents abandoned you when you were young because you were a girl. You grew up in an orphanage. The family that adopted you later treated you badly, and you dropped out of high school. Your family asked you to support your brother's education, and you found a very tiring but well-paid job. But you did not compromise with fate. You worked during the day and read at night. Later, your brother was finally admitted to university, and you began to fight against your family. You continued to finish high school, college, and graduate school... and then came to this world inexplicably. When your aunt gave birth to you, she lost too much blood and died of dystocia."

Liu Xuanan looked at Liu Tangxi in shock.

She remembered clearly that she had never told anyone about her life experience, so how did Liu Tangxi know it?

She had rarely felt this powerless feeling since she was ten years old.

The first time was after King Jian appeared, and the second time is now.

If the previous powerlessness was a glimmer of hope, now it felt like I was stripped of my clothes and standing naked in front of Liu Tangxi.

Liu Luan began to tremble uncontrollably.

"How do you know?" When saying this, Liu Luan unconsciously clenched his fists to make himself less nervous.

Liu Tangxi glanced at Liu Luan and said, "It doesn't matter how I know this. What matters is what you think."

"Did you know me in your previous life?" Liu Luan kept asking this question.

Liu Tangxi shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the leaves that were rustling in the wind.

"No, we are not in the same time and space."

Liu Yanan was even more confused.

Since they didn't know each other and were not in the same time and space, how did Liu Tangxi know her life experience?

She lived a very busy life in her previous life. Apart from making money, she studied. She lived every minute and every second to the fullest. She had never read any novels and rarely watched TV series.

She racked her brains but couldn't figure out how Liu Tangxi knew her secret.

She originally thought that Liu Tangxi was an ordinary time-traveling girl who did nothing and had no ambitions, but now it seems that this ordinary person is not as ordinary as she imagined. In front of her, she suddenly felt that she had nowhere to hide.

"The emperor will not agree to your request, nor will he come to see you." Liu Tangxi said again.

Over the years, Liu Xuanan got used to the feeling of having everything under her control. She felt extremely uncomfortable about how Liu Tangxi knew about her life experience. However, looking at Liu Tangxi's expression, he didn't intend to help her solve the problem.

Thinking that no one seemed to know about her life experience, she knew that Liu Tangxi would probably not tell anyone.

Gradually, her fear about this matter eased a little.

The issue that Liu Tangxi mentioned at this moment is exactly the issue that has been lingering in his mind recently.

Seeing that Liu Tangxi also knew about this, she curled her lips and said, "I know. If he wanted to see me, he would have taken action on the first day I wrote to him. But a month has passed, and those letters I wrote to him have fallen into the sea, without any response."

She originally thought that what Prince Jian needed most now was to stabilize the court, but now it seems that either what he needed most was not to stabilize the court, or he did not trust her or looked down on her.

Either way, it's disadvantageous to her.

Now, she didn't know how to win the favor of the new emperor.

Thinking of this, Liu Luan laughed at himself and said, "I lost. I made a fool of myself."

Liu Tangxi still maintained the same leisurely posture as before. The wind blew her hair onto her face. She raised her hand and gently tucked it behind her ear.

"Have you ever thought about why you lost?" Liu Tangxi asked.

"Why did we lose?" Liu An paused, sneered, and said, "How could I not have thought about it? There is no way, I have always had bad luck. Everything was obviously getting better, and I was about to win, but suddenly a more powerful King Jian showed up and messed up the whole pot of porridge in the capital. Since God doesn't want me to win from the bottom of his heart, no matter how much I do, it will be in vain."

"Is it just luck?" Liu Tangxi asked in a very serious tone.

After saying that, she turned and looked at Liu Luan with a serious look in her eyes.

Liu Xuanan also turned and looked at her.

Even though the two people have different personalities and are not born of the same mother, at this moment, with the same movements and the same profile, they look like twin sisters.

"What else?" Liu Yanan asked lightly.

She had talent and strategy, and should have won in the end. But she was unlucky and was intercepted by a traitor.

Seeing Liu Xuan'an like this, Liu Tangxi suddenly asked a strange question: "Did you get what you wanted in your previous life?"

Liu Luan didn't hesitate at all and nodded very confidently: "Got it."

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi said, "Is your luck in your previous life better than this life? You were abandoned by your parents when you were born, and grew up in an orphanage. Your adoptive parents didn't love you either, and you often didn't have enough food or warm clothes when you were a child. You wanted to study, but you had to drop out of school to earn money for your brother's studies. Later, you also worked day and night to earn money for your studies. But what about your current life? Although your aunt died when you were born, you are a girl from the Marquis's mansion. You don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea, wear silk and satin, have a lot of maids and old women to serve you, and have your own independent courtyard. You were born at the top of the pyramid, and countless people looked up to you. Why did you get what you wanted in your previous life, but not in this life?"

Liu Tangxi's words touched Liu Luan'an's nerves. Her face became stern, she sat up straight, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Can the previous life and this life be the same? What I want is different, and it has nothing to do with my identity. Besides, a girl from a marquis's mansion? Ha. Although I am a girl from a marquis's mansion, I am just a concubine's daughter, unlike you, who was born into the belly of the main wife. Do you know that concubines like us have to live under the control of our legal mother? If my legal mother is not satisfied, she will beat, scold, and punish me, and put me to death. My legal sister is even more willful and reckless. She wants to sell me out because she likes the same man as me. She doesn't treat me as a human being at all, and doesn't care about the relationship between sisters."

Liu Tangxi also sat up straight and said, "You are wrong. When I came here, I was just sold by the third prince. Am I not worse off than you? If it weren't for my mother-in-law's kindness to save me, I would be dead or in a brothel now. Speaking of Yin, you and I know what kind of person she is. Yin and Liu Tangxi were also kind to you in the past, but you were so talented that you were betrayed by Huai En. "The Marquis of Huai'en gave you all the good things, but not Liu Tangxi. As the wife and daughter, I was dissatisfied. They were indeed wrong, but you were not wrong at all? You were arrogant and complacent, you looked down on Yin and Liu Tangxi, mother and daughter, and thought they were stupid. You didn't care about their face in front of others, which gradually intensified the conflict."

"So, all this is my fault? Should I just let them, mother and daughter, bully me, let Liu Tangxi sell me out, and let Yin kill me?" Liu Luan raised his voice.

"It was indeed Liu Tangxi's fault for selling you. But you kindly sent her home. This is your kindness. However, if you had told Yin that Liu Tangxi was not dead, but was sold by the Third Prince, Yin would not have thought of killing you because her only daughter died and she had no hope in this life. Moreover, you also knew that the Third Prince had drugged Yin, but didn't you let her get poisoned with a chronic poison in order to prevent Yin from causing trouble for you? Although Liu Tangxi was sold and Yin was poisoned by the Third Prince, he did it for you. How did you do it? You chose to remain silent. No matter how many wrong things they did, those were two lives. Although you didn't do it, can you feel your conscience?"

"The medicine is not strong, Yin will not die. Liu Tangxi deserves it. They were the ones who provoked me first. Compared with them, I did nothing wrong." Liu Xianan said.

This time, her voice was much quieter.

"Yes, they both did something wrong. Compared to them, you are a 'kind' person. But, that doesn't mean that what you did is right. Right and wrong is not about who is more evil than the evil, but about fair laws and moral bottom lines. If you follow your words, Yin and Liu Tangxi are also 'kind' people compared to those murderers, arsonists and extremely vicious people. Does it mean that they are right just because they are 'kind' compared to these people? You are so smart and you were able to handle your relationship with your family so well in your previous life. I don't believe that you can't think of a better way to ease their hostility towards you. You obviously could, but you didn't. Because your adoptive parents have done you a favor, but they have not, you don't regard them as relatives, but only as insignificant fools."

Liu Luan lowered his eyes and glanced at the ground without saying anything, as if he agreed to this statement.

"Do you know when I was disappointed in you? It was when I learned that you had urged my father to persuade Wei Hanzhou to divorce me. Even if I really came from a brothel, so what? You are a person who has received so many years of education, but you actually look down on such an identity and have a strong class concept. What if Wei Hanzhou really can't stand the pressure and divorces me? Have you ever thought about how a woman who came from a brothel can survive in this world without the protection of her husband? These are just the things I know. What about those things I don't know, what did you do?"

Liu Yanan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no words came out.

She was indeed at fault in this matter.

Liu Tangxi glanced at her and continued, "You just said that your past life is different from your present life. Yes, your past life is indeed different from your present life. In your past life, you longed for education, respect from others, and a good job. You studied hard and made money. You stuck to the bottom line and realized your dream. Since you want power and want to be at the top in this life, have you ever really thought about what power is for? Ask yourself, when you do things, do you really consider the people's perspective? Do you insist on kindness and justice?"

Liu Yanan kept his mouth shut and remained silent.

"In the final analysis, you have changed. Since you came into this world, you have become different from before. You have integrated into this era."

Liu Tangxi finished what he wanted to say, then turned around and looked at the rustling leaves.

For a moment, the two fell into silence again.

After a long time, Liu Li'an said, "In such a chaotic world, I want to stand at the pinnacle of power. I strive for everything I can. Is that wrong?"

"You are not wrong to want power, but the mistake is in the way you achieve it. Prince Jian also wants to ascend the throne, but you see, his approach is the same as that of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince. Although Prince Jian usurped the throne, which is a huge 'mistake', he followed the most righteous path in the world. He usurped the throne for the people and he never harmed anyone. Therefore, he succeeded."

"But I didn't take any crooked paths. I have never hurt anyone on my own initiative." Liu Luan retorted.

"Yes, you have never hurt anyone on your own initiative. If you had really done that, I would not have come to find you." Liu Tangxi said, looking into Liu Luan'an's eyes.

After hearing this, Liu Yanan calmed down a lot.

Seeing the fluctuations in Liu Luan'an's eyes, Liu Tangxi sighed.

Then, she changed the subject and continued, "After all, it was Yin and Liu Tangxi who took the initiative to harm you. In an era like this where men are allowed to have three wives and four concubines, it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong in the backyard. If you tell this to Marquis Huai En, at most they will be scolded and imprisoned. When they get out, they may even retaliate against you wantonly. Wasn't it like this for so many years before? If you go to the authorities, Marquis Huai En will say that you have ruined the family tradition, and the world will also... You are accused of being unfilial, but you have avoided it, haven't you? You have no place to complain about your grievances. And you want Wei Hanzhou to divorce his wife and marry someone else, but you are just using your own way of thinking to reason with him, trying to pull him into the fold and find a shortcut for him. It all depends on his mind whether to do it or not. If he really wants to divorce his wife, he will do it even if you don't say it. If he doesn't have this intention, he won't do it even if you say it. Speaking of the coercion at the palace banquet, it was also Emperor You's incompetence. "

Liu Tangxi first revealed Liu Luan'an's life experience in one sentence, breaking through her psychological defenses, and then severely criticized her for her mistakes. Finally, he considered her from her perspective.

The protective shell on Liu Xuan'an's exterior gradually cracked.

"But, Liu Luan, you are different from them. We are different from them."

These words, like the last straw, completely broke the camel's back and devastated Liu Luan.

She didn't look at Liu Tangxi again. She crossed her legs, wrapped her arms around her knees, and looked at the ground with a look of vulnerability in her eyes.

"I know what you said. In fact, I am also very conflicted. I want to reach the pinnacle of power, but I don't want to hurt anyone on the way to the top. But in this era full of class barriers and male superiority, my ambitions cannot be carried out peacefully. I remember when I was nine years old, I met the third prince outside the palace, but the prince sent assassins to kill us. We hid in many places and were stabbed several times. I thought I was going to die. Fortunately, I was saved by a patrolman passing by. Watching the patrolmen and killers die one by one in front of me, it was the first time I felt the fear of this world, and my heart gradually became hardened. But even so, I still couldn't hurt anyone. Watching the actions of the crown prince and the third prince, I always felt that I was noble. I gradually gained power, but my hands were not stained with blood. For this, I have always felt proud. "

"Yes, you are right. I do have ways to make Yin and Liu Tangxi settle down and live in peace with them. But I didn't do it. I took it for granted that the conflict between legitimate and illegitimate children was irreconcilable, and that my legitimate mother and legitimate sister would be jealous of me. I thought they were both stupid, and that the things in the harem would not hurt me at all. I thought they were of no use to me. I just wanted to realize my ideals and ambitions, to be at the top, and not to waste my time and emotions on useless people like them. It was this attitude of mine that caused their dissatisfaction again and again."

"The time I went to kidnap you and the princess was probably the only time I wavered and wanted to cross the line. I was desperate that day, and I knew that the Third Prince was going to lose. But even so, after I got off the carriage, I looked at the passers-by and saw everyone's peaceful faces, and I regretted it and didn't plan to do it again. If I really did that, what would be the point of what I have insisted on for so many years? What would my pride be? There was a first time, and there will be a second time. I will gradually become a terrible person..."

"Looking back on my life, I don't know what I have done. I am neither kind nor cruel, and I did things in a muddled way. I thought I could thrive in this relatively backward dynasty because of my knowledge, wisdom and strategy, but in the end I still lost to the ancients, a native ancient. Even someone like you who doesn't fight or compete and has no ambitions can live better than me."

As he spoke, Liu Luan'an's eyes gradually became moist.

"That's because we are kind." Liu Tangxi pointed out bluntly.

"Kind?" Liu Luan's eyes were slightly red, and he murmured, "Emperor You is licentious and incompetent, the crown prince is cruel, and the court is full of undercurrents. In such an environment, if you were really as kind as you, I don't know how many times the third prince and I would have died."

"How do you know it's not possible if you haven't tried it? You said you and the third prince were miserable, but no matter how miserable you are, can you compare to the misfortune of the prince? As the legitimate son of the previous emperor, he was driven out of the capital by his illegitimate brother. In the past ten years, he fought bravely on the border and guarded Dali. In the end, he was summoned to the capital by the emperor's decree because of his outstanding merits. On the way back to the capital, he experienced countless assassinations. But you see, even in such a predicament, did he use the soldiers in his hands to slaughter Emperor You wantonly? After he succeeded, did he kill those who opposed him? Now there are still people who supported the crown prince and the third prince in the court. He dealt with the termites in the court, not divided according to factions. Didn't you know this and so recklessly retreated to advance and came to the temple?"

Liu Tangxi exposed his inner thoughts.

"Plop" a tear fell.

Liu Tangxi sighed slightly and handed over a handkerchief.

Liu Yunan took the handkerchief, laid on her knees and began to cry.

After crying for a long time, Liu Yanan finally stopped.

She had kept these words in her heart for many years and had never told anyone. But she spoke them out to Liu Tangxi, who was also a time traveler. After she said them, she felt much more relieved.

Wiping the tears from his face with a handkerchief, Liu Yanan looked up at Liu Tangxi and said, "That's right. If you weren't kind, you would have told the emperor about my affairs long ago. If the emperor wasn't kind, he would have killed me long ago. Thank you."

"Need not."

"You are much better than me." Liu Yanan said from the bottom of his heart, "I underestimated you in the past."

"Am I amazing?" Liu Tangxi pursed her lips and said honestly, "I'm just an ordinary person, but not as amazing as you."

"Me?" Liu Luan laughed at himself. "I am just a loser. The emperor is kind enough to spare my life and let me live on in this world."

Today she finally figured it out. She thought she was smart, but she had misjudged the King's thoughts.

Prince Jian did not look down on her, but because he was different from her.

She acted out of her own selfish desires, but the king acted out of justice.

"Who said you failed?" Liu Tangxi said, "If you really want to do something, what can't you do? I remember that you studied science, right? You also like reading, and you spend every day in the library. You are well-read. You have so much knowledge in your mind, why do you focus on those power schemes? You can do something for the people and the world. I remember that when you were a child, you often did things that didn't exist in this world to bring convenience to the people, but later you stopped doing it. It's not like you can't do it, why don't you do it? If you do advanced things, you will naturally accumulate reputation. Even if you can't become an official and hold power, you can still gain the admiration of the world. In addition to these, you can do other things. You have the ability, don't you?"

Liu Yanan was stunned.

Making things?

She hadn't thought about it for more than ten years. When she first did it, it was to make money and to win the favor of Marquis Huai En.

Thinking about it this way, she is really a failure.
