Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

Sheng Huaian's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately understood what An Jinshu meant by "guest".

He grabbed An Jinshu's shoulders and leaned over to look at her, staring at her with his narrow, almond-shaped eyes for fear of missing any detail.

It wasn't until he confirmed that there was no doubt or suspicion in her eyes that he felt relieved.

"It's my fault. I should have mentioned it to Yanyan earlier, but every time I go to Guo'an Temple to see Yanyan, I feel like I don't have enough to say, and I don't want to use the hard-won meeting opportunity to talk about such inconsequential matters. People and things that don’t matter.”

Sheng Huaian's voice was extremely gentle, and he carefully observed An Jinshu's expression as he spoke, fearing that she would have random thoughts.

After hearing this, An Jinshu smiled softly and took Sheng Huaian's arm: "Brother Huai'an, don't think too much. I just asked. If I thought too much, how could I ask you so calmly?"

Sheng Huaian also knew a little about An Jinshu's temperament. He raised his hand and stroked her hair twice again. His eyes were so soft that everything in the world was inferior to the person in front of him.

"As long as Yanyan doesn't blame me."

An Jinshu didn't blame him. If she did, how could she say these words to him so calmly?

She took Sheng Huaian's arm and said affectionately: "Brother Huai'an rarely has time to accompany me, so please stay with me for a while. Otherwise, when brother Huai'an goes to Suzhou, we won't see him for a long time."

"Yanyan." Sheng Huaian grabbed An Jinshu's arm with his backhand.

"Huh?" An Jinshu looked up at him: "What's wrong?"

"How did you know I was going to Gusu?" Sheng Huaian's eyes were full of doubts. His Majesty has not yet issued an imperial edict on this matter, and there are only a few people who know about it.

An Jinshu smiled slyly and expressed his opinion: "You can guess this. The last time he went south to control the floods, brother Huai'an handled the matter properly and meticulously. He only used half of the silver to solve his majesty's serious problem. Now the Gusu plague has Your Majesty will not feel at ease if you leave difficult matters to others. You can only feel at ease if you leave them to Brother Huai'an."

"Your Majesty intends to promote Brother Huai'an, so he wants to give Brother Huai'an a ladder to climb on. This Gusu Plague is the ladder to help Brother Huai'an rise to the top."

Sheng Huaian was a little surprised when he heard An Jinshu's words, and at the same time he admired her intelligence.

Nowadays, the Jiang family, the former prince, the barbarians, and other aristocratic families are all eyeing the throne. His majesty is ill. Although it is well concealed, anyone who is interested can know it with a little investigation.

Your Majesty's crown prince disappeared more than ten years ago and there has been no news since then. The second prince is ill, the third prince was brutally murdered and died, and there is no direct successor to the throne.

Once Emperor Yuan'an dies, no matter what he says, it will be in vain. Whoever has more power and stronger military will be the next leader of the Yuan Kingdom. This world can never be won by just talking.

The ancestors of the Sheng family contributed to the founding of the country, and they were honest and dedicated to serving the court for generations. However, the popularity of the Sheng family has really faded, and now only their eldest family lineage is still passed down.

The emperor wanted to reuse the Sheng family, but the Sheng family had no one to reuse. Fortunately, now he has supported the Sheng family. His Majesty appreciates him and intends to promote him as a minister.

The Gusu plague is indeed Sheng Huaian's ladder to climb the ladder. As long as the Gusu issue is properly resolved, his Sheng family can return to its former glory.

And what His Majesty values ​​​​is clear to Sheng Huai'an. Although the Sheng family is not as prosperous as his ancestors, its influence is quite great.

His grandfather's family had many students, ranging from court officials to famous nobles, and even among the senior officials in the court today, there are students of his grandfather.

Winning over the Sheng family is equivalent to winning over other aristocratic families that have good relations with the Sheng family, and can also use the prestige of the Sheng family to intimidate other aristocratic families. This deal is extremely cost-effective.

Everyone has their own interests, and Sheng Huaian understands this truth, and he is also betting that Emperor Yuan'an's lineage will once again securely sit on the throne.

Although Sheng Huai'an didn't know where his confidence came from, it stands to reason that His Majesty is about to die soon, the second prince is no longer useful, the third prince is dead, and the throne seems to belong to the first prince.

But there was a voice in Sheng Huai'an's mind telling him not to forget the ancestral precepts of his ancestors. The Sheng family was only loyal to the royal family. It was absolutely impossible for the world to change hands. The former prince, the barbarians and other aristocratic families could not be the lords of the Yuan Kingdom.

This voice was very strong, so strong that Sheng Huaian sometimes felt that he was ridiculous. It was clearly a dead end and there was no way to survive, but he did not give up on his original intention.

Sheng Huaian looked at the girl in front of him and suddenly asked, "Does Yanyan think the throne will change hands?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Huaian suddenly woke up and realized that he had said such treacherous and unethical words, and his face became a little ugly. He quickly said: "I'm just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart. I've been busy with work recently and I'm so tired that I started talking nonsense."

An Jinshu fell into deep thought because of his words. When Sheng Huaian tried his best to defend, she thought about it seriously, and then replied solemnly: "No."

Sheng Huaian's words of defense stopped abruptly, and he looked at An Jinshu with disbelief in his eyes: "Why? Why does Yanyan feel like this?" He couldn't help but ask, as if he desperately wanted to know an answer.

An Jinshu did not disappoint him and gave him an enlightening answer.

"Because the prince is just missing, not dead, right? It is said that your majesty is looking for the prince in Guangzhou. As long as your majesty wishes, the prince will be able to return to the palace safe and sound tomorrow."

An Jinshu's words were even more treasonous than what Sheng Huaian said just now.

She directly revealed the ugly truth and put things in front of Sheng Huaian that he had never dared to think about.

Sheng Huaian burst out laughing, and then saw him looking at An Jinshu with admiration.

"Yanyan, I never knew you had such unique insights into political affairs. You really surprised me! Hahaha"

In An Jinshu's impression, Sheng Huaian had never laughed so wildly. He was learning the way of a gentleman, and it was inappropriate to laugh like this. But at this moment, he couldn't stop his smile, as if the haze that had been there for so long had been swept away. So empty, I just want to roar a few times at Tian Haosheng.

"Why is brother Huai'an so happy?" She was a little confused.

An Jinshu didn't know what Sheng Huaian had been confused about. He blindly followed the voice in his heart to support the dead tree of the royal family. He clearly couldn't see any hope but had to persist.

He never understood where this persistence came from.

But after listening to An Jinshu's words today, he understood that this persistence came from the prince he had never met.

Everyone knows that Emperor Yuan'an's eldest son is living among the people, and is now being searched everywhere. Before the palace change, Emperor Yuan'an will definitely find a prince regardless of whether he is looking for the real prince or not.

He will replace Emperor Yuan'an on the throne, and that will be enough.

As long as the An family does not rebel, how can the former prince afford to make trouble when the hundreds of thousands of An family's troops are just a show-off?

In this way, the problems that have been bothering Sheng Huaian will be solved. How can Sheng Huaian be unhappy?

"Yanyan, you are such a treasure. Fortunately, I picked you up."
