Xiangchu, Jiang Xuening was in a very good mood. She set up a banquet at Chuihua Cottage to entertain all the people who came for her.

After three rounds of drinks, it was getting late, so everyone left. The only ones who stayed were those who were close to her.

Jiang Li took a sip of the hangover soup and asked, "With internal and external troubles, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Lie couldn't help but interrupt, "The imperial court has long since stopped caring about the fate of the Wolf Fang Army. If it weren't for the food and fodder you brought over, the Wolf Fang Army would have collapsed long ago."

Bai Yu, who was playing with birds nearby, spoke seriously for once, "You haven't seen how dirty and ugly the Turkic people are shouting and cursing every day."

In order to reduce losses, they had no choice but to stay put. They were also afraid that if a large-scale war broke out and they got stuck in a stalemate, the imperial court would not come to their aid.

Jiang Xue Ning turned the wine glass in her hand. The problems in the northwest were indeed tricky.

The most feared thing is that if it is delayed any further, the Turks will invade, and the people will suffer in that case.

No matter how much they fight among themselves, as long as they are not crazy, they will not attack the people. But the Turks like to massacre the city the most, and they believe that those who are not of the same race must be killed.

She quickly made a decision, "Wait for the 100,000 troops from Qingzhou to arrive, and then send another 50,000 from the Phoenix Army. A total of 150,000 troops will rush to help. Do you have the confidence to completely drive the Turks away!"

Zhang Lie said with great confidence, "We have confidence. As long as we have enough food and manpower, we will surely defeat the Turks and they will not dare to attack us again easily!"

They have been fighting the Turks at the border for many years, so Jiang Xue Ning certainly believes in them.

"These 150,000 are all elite soldiers. As for food and fodder, they are sufficient. I am waiting for your good news!"

Zhang Lie was drunk and went to rest contentedly, feeling that his trip was not in vain.

Lu Chengyuan said calmly, "How to deal with Xiangchu's matter, do you have a plan in mind?"

"I want a list of all officials and key people." Jiang Xue Ning sneered, "It is said that a new official should start with three things. It's time to start with the first one."

She was going to make a big change, in addition to the people she brought with her, she also trained a group of her own people in Qingzhou. She wanted to use her own people to take over and put pressure on the aristocratic families.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, "What if they don't agree?"

"I said whoever stands in my way will be killed!"

She didn't have enough time to waste time with them to complete the handover of power, so she could only use iron-blooded means.

We had enough chatting and everyone went their separate ways.

Jiang Xue Ning called Wu Jin into the study and instructed her, "Send out secret guards and spies to investigate the situations of the major families. This is what you are good at."

Wu Jin took the order and left. Jiang Xue Ning opened the window of the study to let the spring night breeze blow away the smell of alcohol.

Qing He brought her some tea. "Princess, do you want to start from the back house?"

"The bigger the family, the more filth and corruption it harbors. I don't believe they are united internally. It's too difficult to kill them from the outside. It's better to kill them from the inside."

After taking a hot bath, she was so tired after a busy day that she fell asleep immediately.

She was busy scheming against the aristocratic families, and the aristocratic families were busy analyzing and scheming against her.

The most special one among them is the Ye family. The head of the Ye family, Ye Zhuo, is the youngest among the other family heads and has not even married yet.

Perhaps because he was tired from the spring night, Ye Zhuo played chess with his elder sister Lin Ran in the back house.

Lin Ran was wearing a green gauze dress, lying casually on the couch, with black hair like clouds, a face like a lotus, and a graceful posture.

She put down a black chess piece and chuckled, "I heard that the princess is a beauty with thorns. She is beautiful but poisonous."

Ye Zhuo glanced at her and said, "She is very beautiful."

"Then have you figured out how to deal with her?" Lin Ran asked with a moving look in his eyes.

Ye Zhuo's eyes passed over her slender collarbone, and he lowered his eyes and whispered, "The power in her hands cannot be underestimated. It's not easy to deal with her."

As soon as she finished speaking, she lifted his chin with her delicate hand, "You are so young and handsome, and the Ye family is still lacking a mistress. Now that she appears, it is a good time for you."

The fact that she is involved with both the King of Yunzhou and the deceased emperor proves that this Princess of Qingzhou is indeed extraordinary.

Ye Zhuo couldn't bear it any longer and grabbed her hand, "You really want me to get married."

She said with a sweet smile, "Marry a good wife and you will be one step closer."

She raised him with her own hands, so he deserves the best.

Ye Zhuo's expression darkened, and he sneered, "She doesn't look like the kind of person who would easily indulge in love. Besides, she has seen all kinds of people in Shengjing, and she may not be attracted to me."

Lin Ran put her hand on his face, "As long as you are willing, I have my own way to make her fall in love with you. I can give you everything you want?"

"Can you really give me everything?" Ye Zhuo looked at her with a sharp gaze, "You know exactly what I want."

She sighed helplessly, "I am your sister."

"My last name is Ye and your last name is Lin. Everyone in the city knows that you are the adopted daughter of the Ye family."

She is the daughter of an old friend of Ye's mother, and was raised as a proper lady in the Ye's mansion since she was a child, but she was not included in the Ye family tree and did not change her surname. So she is still a girl of the Lin family, but she grew up in the Ye's mansion.

Lin Ran frowned slightly and sighed silently, "When my stepmother died, I promised her that I could only be your sister in this life."

She thought that no one knows a daughter better than her mother, so she was handed over to Ye's mother when she was only a few months old. Ye's mother must have seen through her greedy and heartless nature and was afraid that she would harm her son. That's why she asked her to make such a vow before she died.

When it comes to Ye's mother, Ye Zhuo finally has nothing to say.

She just said angrily, "You are such an obedient daughter."

Lin Ran pressed her index finger on his lips and chuckled, "I'm obedient, but I love you too."

When she saw the fire in his eyes that was about to burst, she withdrew her hand in time and said calmly, "It's late at night and I want to sleep. You go and rest."

Ye Zhuo looked at her deeply, controlled his anger and left.

Lin Ran was still lying on the couch, with a kind of lazy and casual beauty. Aunt Zhao, who had taken care of her since she was a child, asked in confusion, "Why did the young lady push the master away?"

"Not only will I push him away, I will also help him get that princess and put him in a higher position."

Aunt Zhang was a little worried, "But in this case...Miss, what are you going to do?"

Lin Ran smiled, "Don't panic, be patient. Men won't cherish what they have. You have to keep flirting with him, and then you will become the mole in his heart."

There weren't many people she could rely on, so she certainly wouldn't let Ye Zhuo go. The oath was just her excuse.

If she is really guilty, she will go to hell to atone for her sins after she dies.

"Go and ask about our new king." Lin Ran said softly, "I want to meet her as soon as possible."

She was extremely envious of a woman who could reach her current position, but it was a pity that she met her.

She wanted to use her as nutrients to nourish Ye Zhuo, so that Ye Zhuo could grow better and stronger.

Then when the peaches were ripe, she finally picked them.
