Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains

"Of course not."

Jiang Li's eyes were a bit strange, and he smiled and said: "Didn't you expect Mr. Lu to have such an innocent temper? Do you think it's either black or white?"

Lu Zhan frowned slightly, "I didn't think so, but what I saw in the princess was indeed very different from the rumors."

Jiang Li was still drunk at the moment, looking a bit drunk, and his cheeks were flushed.

Hearing this, she smiled, held her head with one hand and said, "Wrong, those rumors are all true."

"It is true that I am arrogant and domineering, and I miss men...but I have a brain. When I do these things, I have a sense of proportion, so that I will not embarrass myself, and it will appear that I am not so annoying."

"But actually, I'm not a good person."

"Of course, I don't think I'm worthy of Qin Jue, because he's not a good person either."

"We are all not good people, so no one is harming anyone. On the contrary, if I were to find someone like you, Mr. Lu, I would feel ashamed."

Lu Zhan looked at Jiang Li blankly, not knowing whether she had discovered his secret intention when she used him as a metaphor.

So...can this be understood as a rejection of him?

For a moment, Lu Zhan lowered his head in a hurry, not daring to look into her eyes.

But she couldn't help but argue for her in her heart: No... you are not as unbearable as you said. ,

At least in Lu Zhan's opinion, Jiang Li is a good person.

Otherwise, if she had to hire people, there were a lot of talents for her to choose from, and she would not have chosen Tan Zhiyu.

She was helping her.

Including Chu Mingyue who was supposed to die in the fire... It didn't matter if she didn't save her, but Jiang Li still saved her and gave her a chance to live again.

She obviously did so much, but she never said anything.

If he hadn't felt compassion for Chu Mingyue and wanted someone to escort her secretly, he wouldn't have known about it.

Jiang Li...she is like a hedgehog, pointing all her thorns at others, and what others see is always her cold appearance.

But no one knows that there is a soft heart hidden under your coldness.

She was different from all the women in the world... But why did he discover it so late?

When Jiang Li saw Lu Zhan dumbfounded for a long time, he thought he was scared.

She raised her hand and knocked on the table in front of him, and said in a lazy tone, "Why are you so dazed? Do you regret going with me?"

Lu Zhan came to his senses and shook his head, "If you insist that you are a bad person, I won't argue with you."

"It's just... no matter what kind of person you are, I know that with your intelligence, you will be able to go a long way."

"It's my honor to work with you. I have nothing to regret."

Jiang Li tilted his head and just smiled without saying anything.

She was thinking that if Lu Zhan knew about her ambition now, she didn't know whether he would be so categorical in saying that he had no regrets.

In fact, the cooperation between the two people should have ended after the fall of the Queen and the Fu family.

But today Lu Zhan came again... which shows that he actually doesn't want to end it yet.

Jiang Li was waiting for him to speak.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Lu Zhan took the initiative to ask, "Jiang Li... I came here today because I actually have something to ask you."

"It is true that you defeated the prince's lineage to protect yourself, but I think... you are not an ordinary housewife. Since you can intervene in the court situation, you will definitely have your own ideas about the fight for the prince."

"If you believe me, can you give me an accurate answer today? Do you... do you want to help King Jing'an ascend to the throne, or do you want King Donglin to..."

This turmoil, on the surface, seems to be that King Jing'an got a big advantage. After fighting for many years, he finally defeated the prince. Now it is only a matter of time before he is deposed.

The emperor had only four sons. When the prince fell, apart from King Jing'an, only the fifth son Qin Jue and the sixth son Qin Mo remained.

Qin Jue has no maternal support behind him, and he grew up in a cold palace. He has no one to educate him, and it is difficult for him to become a high official.

Qin Mo is still young and inexperienced, so he is not in trouble.

On the surface, it seems that only Prince Jing'an is qualified to compete for the position of crown prince.

But... after seeing Jiang Li's methods, Lu Zhan would not think like others that Qin Jue had no support and was not qualified to compete for the throne.

He felt that as long as Jiang Li wanted to, Qin Jue might not be able to reach that position.

I just don’t know whether Jiang Li wants it or not.

Jiang Li raised his eyelids and glanced at Lu Zhan, "Master Lu asked this question...are you considering your position for yourself, or for the Lu family?"

Lu Zhan was silent for a moment, and then said frankly, "For the Lu family."

Lu Zhan's father has always refused to stand, just because he was afraid of standing with the wrong person.

But now it seems that the future emperor is none other than King Jing'an. If he doesn't take sides, the Lu family will be marginalized when King Jing'an ascends the throne.

At this time, Lu Zhan believed that his father must be preparing to take action.

As someone who knew the inside story, he naturally saw that the Lu family had made a mistake not far away... So even if it offended him, this question was something he had to ask.

Jiang Li smiled softly, with a faint light flashing in her eyes. She looked at Lu Zhan and said slowly: "With me here, King Jingan will never be the final winner."

"Lu Zhan, if you, the Lu family, want to help King Jing'an, you have to kill me first... Why don't you think about it first, can you kill me?"

Jiang Li did not answer Lu Zhan's question directly, but this answer was equivalent to a disguised admission that she wanted to help Qin Jue ascend to the throne!

Lu Zhan took a breath of air and felt that the woman in front of him looked at him with ambition written all over her eyes!

With Jiang Li's methods, even if he helped Qin Jue ascend to power, Qin Jue would still be just a puppet... Jiang Li would be the final person in power!

Since ancient times, there have been queens and queen mothers who have been in power, but in the end they were put out of order, and the emperor took back the imperial power, and then nailed them to the pillar of shame.

Women in power, for better or worse, are wrong.

Lu Zhan didn't dare to think about it anymore... He was a little afraid that he and Jiang Li would eventually be on opposite sides.

The life and death of the Lu family is naturally important, but... if Lu Zhan is asked to help Jiang Li bring trouble to Chao Gang, he can't do it.

Jiang Li naturally saw Lu Zhan's hesitation and entanglement, and she was not surprised by this. After all, this was a feudal dynasty...a feudal dynasty where women were inherently inferior to men.

She would find it strange if Lu Zhan, a loyal minister and general who was willing to sacrifice his life to protect the emperor, would switch sides without hesitation now.

"Lu Zhan."

She said, "It is rare to provide help in times of need, but it is the icing on the cake...it is not necessary for others."

"Prince Jing'an has shown kindness to your father over the years, but your father always tried to push him back."

"Prince Jing'an is not a generous person. Now that his family is the only one in the family, everyone will come forward to fawn over him. Guess...will he still care about your father's kindness?"
