Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

After that "farce", everything returned to calm. They all knew that the ripples caused by the stone falling into the lake had not yet reached the shore.

Two days later, the emperor summoned Jiang Zhuo to the palace.

"Your Majesty." Jiang Zhuo knelt down and saluted.

"No need to be so polite, Jiang Qing." Xiao Yanzhou waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Zhuo then stood up to express his gratitude.

Xiao Yanzhou closed the book lazily, and turned his eyes to Jiang Zhuo, "It's not a big deal to ask Jiang Qing to come to the palace. It's just that I will hold a family banquet next week, and I specially invite Jiang Qing to share it with me."

Jiang Zhuo was delighted and thanked him immediately, "Thank you for your invitation, Your Majesty. I will definitely attend the banquet on time."

"Jiang Qing has been busy these days."

"It is an honor for me to serve Your Majesty."

"By the way." Xiao Yanzhou stood up and walked to Jiang Zhuo.

"I have always heard that Jiang Qing's daughter is known as a wonderful woman in the world. I also want to see what unique charms the young lady in the rumors has. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to meet that young lady this time."

Jiang Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then immediately regained his friendly smile, "Your Majesty, you are joking. It is an honor for my daughter to be able to participate in the family dinner hosted by Your Majesty."

"Okay, then it's settled." Xiao Yanzhou's ups and downs in his voice seemed to have already decided the matter.

"Yes, I will make sure Jiang Qingyu prepares well and lives up to your majesty's expectations." Jiang Zhuo curled the corners of his lips, but his true emotions could not be seen.

"Since Jiang Qing is here, how about playing a game with me?"

Jiang Zhuo then noticed that there was a half-finished chess game lying nearby.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I have to ask Your Majesty to show mercy."

"Jiang Qing is joking."

Ever since he mentioned Xiao Yu, he has been paying special attention to Jiang Zhuo's expression. He is indeed a smooth-talking old fox. This arrangement is exactly what he wants.

……

It was already evening when Jiang Zhuo returned home.

Shen Han was helping Jiang Zhuo change his clothes. "My dear, why did you come back so late? Did something happen?"

"Not really. I have only been playing chess with Your Majesty until now."

"Playing chess? Then has your husband had his meal?" Shen Han asked with concern, thinking that something big had happened.

"I have used it. Did Jiang Qingyu say anything today?" Jiang Zhuo thought about what he had said today.

"From what I have analyzed from her words, she really doesn't know who that person is, but he must be a royal family member with power and status." Shen Han repeated the answer he got.

"okay, I get it."

"Go and ask Mo'er to come and see me." Jiang Zhuo gestured.

"It's your husband."

After tidying up his clothes, Shen Han stood up and left.

After learning that Jiang Zhuo had returned home, Qing Yu secretly watched Jiang Mo walking hurriedly towards Jiang Zhuo's house, thinking that he would not come to see him in the short term.

I don’t know what news Jiang Zhuo got after being in the palace for so long today.

Just in case, Qing Yu changed into dark clothes, took out the dagger that he had hidden from the edge of the bed, put it on his waist, and sneaked into Jiang Zhuo's house.

"Dad...are you really going to do this?" Jiang Mo's face looked panicked, as if he had just heard extremely shocking news.

Qing Yu, who was eavesdropping on the eaves, was quite curious about what kind of news could make Jiang Mo so surprised.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhuo said what she wanted to know in the next sentence.

"Mo'er, His Majesty invited Jiang Qingyu to attend the royal family banquet this time. There must be something important."

Qing Yu listened to every word Jiang Zhuo said, and his heart was suddenly filled with ups and downs.

The emperor invited her to a family dinner?! It seems that her plan was successful, but... why was it His Majesty?

"Father, I understand. I am worried that if His Majesty really takes a liking to Jiang Qingyu and gives her great power, what should I do if she doesn't obey my father's control?"

This shocking news seemed to freeze Qingyu's heart.

Jiang Zhuo wants to give her to the emperor?! Wasn't this a trap set by "Brother Zhou"?

She was immediately puzzled, and even more certain that since Jiang Zhuo had been in the palace for so long today, the emperor must have said something to him.

Jiang Zhuo raised his lips, not seeming to be worried about this matter. "Your worry is not unreasonable, but since I can send her to His Majesty, I can certainly control her secrets."

"Secret?" Jiang Mo narrowed his eyes and thought, "Dad is referring to her mother's death..."

Jiang Zhuo immediately glared at him and Jiang Mo quickly shut up.

"But... it wasn't my father who sent anyone..."

"You are just too naive. If she hadn't angered the man in the palace, she would still be very useful to me..."

"Since your father can send her to the throne, if she doesn't obey, he can also get rid of her. Besides, there are so many concubines in the harem. Do you think you can sit on the position of queen as long as His Majesty takes a fancy to you?"

Jiang Zhuo was far-sighted and seemed to have been prepared for what would happen next.

Seeing his father's confidence, Jiang Mo's worries were relieved. "I see. As long as Jiang Qingyu wants to know, only my father can give him the answer."

"Do we need to tell Jiang Qingyu now? Let her be prepared."

Hearing this, Qing Yu, with a lot of thoughts in her mind, was ready to leave. Her heart felt like it was cut by a knife and the blood was oozing out uncontrollably.

The murderer who killed Jiang Qingyu's mother is in the palace! Who could it be? Who could it be?

She increasingly couldn't understand why things were spiraling out of her control.

She jumped off the eaves without paying any attention to the guards. As soon as she landed, she came face to face with the guards.

"You! Jiang Qing..." The guard hadn't called out yet.

She quickly covered his mouth, drew her sword, and cut his throat.

In just a blink of an eye, the guard fell to the ground.

The indifference in his eyes drowned out the bloody smell.

As the third daughter of the Jiang family, a mere ordinary guard dared to address her by her name. Is this the dignity that Jiang Zhuo gave her? !

She left the scene, removing the black clothing that concealed her as she walked.

Until a terrified cry came from behind, "Assassin! There is an assassin! Protect Elder Jiang!"

Suddenly, shouts were heard throughout the Jiang Mansion, and Jiang Zhuo and Jiang Mo also came to their senses with exclamations.

"What happened?" Jiang Zhuo looked at the panicked guards.

"One of Lord Jiang's guards was killed!"

"Where's the murderer?!"

"Reply... Lord Jiang... I didn't see it."

"What a waste! Search for me!"

"Dad, I'll take some people there." Jiang Mo suggested.

"Go!"

Since he was able to break into Jiang's residence quietly, could it be...

Suddenly, Jiang Zhuo realized something, "Jiang Qingyu!"

If it wasn't someone sent by Xiao Yanqing? ! Want to kidnap Jiang Qingyu? !

This thought flashed through his mind, and without hesitation, he immediately took people to her room.

Hearing the noise approaching outside, Qing Yu pretended to be sleepy and opened the door, facing the scene in front of him.

"Dad? What happened?"

Jiang Zhuo saw Jiang Qingyu wearing a thin dress, standing sideways at the door, looking at him with a look of fear.

Jiang Zhuo calmed down a bit, "It's nothing, my daughter. There was an assassin in the mansion just now. I was just worried about my daughter's safety."

Fear appeared on her face. "Assassin?! How could there be an assassin?!"

"Don't worry about your daughter."

"You! Stay outside!" Jiang Zhuo instructed the guards behind him.

"Yes!" Suddenly, several guards appeared outside her house.

"They will protect you, daughter. Have a good rest."

Before she could respond, Jiang Zhuo had already left with the other guards.

She looked at the guards at the door because they were afraid that she would escape at the critical moment.

Seeing that she had been standing at the door, the guard stretched out his hand to stop her, "Miss San, please come in."

She pursed her lips and closed the door.

He turned his head and looked at his right hand that had been hiding behind the door. The blood on the fingers had not been wiped clean yet.

He then took out the undecorated black clothes hidden under the bed and the bloody dagger.

She lowered her brows, locked her pupils, and couldn't help but sneer.

Jiang Zhuo, the cowardly person you thought of has already become an enemy you cannot resist. What I want is not your death, but the eternal suffering of the Jiang family.
