Her reputation, qualifications, and gender should not be the first choice for courtiers to find patrons, and there is a risk that she will lose her head at any time.
Jiang Si has great ambitions. In his previous life, he followed Wei Heyan and was promoted to the position of Minister of Household Affairs. He was capable, but he may not be of the same mind as them.
"Master Si has a bad reputation."
The rumors about Si Yiluo are so outrageous that she is a monster who needs to absorb the essence of children to practice.
"Master Si is cruel and ruthless."
Since she took over Jinyiwei, the punishments she used were even worse than those of Wei Heyan.
"Master Si flatters and flatters the emperor, seduces the emperor, and fabricates accusations to frame Zhongliang."
Emperor Yao supported her several times, and King Lu is still in prison.
Although the case of King Lu's rebellion was vindicated, there were still doubts. In order to prevent King Lu from being implicated again, Emperor Yao detained him in the imperial prison until the real culprit behind the arson case was found out and the suspicion was completely cleared.
freed.
Every time Jiang Si said a word, he observed Si Yiluo's expression and saw that she was not annoyed. On the contrary, she asked with great interest: "So? Mr. Jiang shows kindness to Si because he wants to learn from Si."
What kind of things are these?"
Si Yiluo became somewhat interested in him.
"Lord Si, you are joking." Jiang Si cupped his hands and said, "Xiaguan is thirty-six this year. He entered the court as an official in his twenties. In the past fourteen years, although he is not a good dancer, he has experienced the ups and downs of the official career and thinks he has some scheming.
measure."
"But I can't compare with you. Although you are a woman and young, your magnanimity and insight make me feel inferior to you. The rumors are 30% true and 70% false. I analyzed them carefully and felt that I have a bright future with Master Si, so I
Come and make friends."
For the first time, someone said that following her would have a bright future...
This Lord Jiang is either a madman or a gambler.
"Master Jiang, are you not afraid of...death without a burial place?"
Si Yiluo put away his smile and looked at him steadily.
In this life, she is ready to be a lonely minister and a sharp blade that cuts through the darkness.
"My lord Si has spent less than three months to establish himself in the court and establish himself as a woman in the court. I believe that your lord will not disappoint me."
Si Yiluo picked up the tea cup and did not give a reply.
Jiang Si got up and said goodbye.
Shen Moran walked out of the inner room and sat next to him.
"Si Yiluo, how sincere do you think his surrender is?"
The line of rain connected the sky and the earth. Si Yiluo held the tea cup in his hand, and the scent of tea invaded his nose.
"It doesn't matter how sincere he is. There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests."
The scene outside the city that day flashed through Si Yiluo's mind. Wei He said that only profit can buy people's hearts... His method was indeed the most effective when her sincerity could not be made public.
"As long as it doesn't go against your true intentions, what's the point of giving him some benefits?"
Jiang Si is a useful talent. If Shen Moran wants to pave the way for Zhou Zhan, he must have more chips in his hand, otherwise he will be making wedding clothes for others.
Whatever she can think of, Shen Moran can also think of it.
"Leave this matter to me."
The only people Shen Moran can use at present are Shen Panxing's people. She can't poach several of Shen Panxing's confidants, but as long as they are human beings, they have weaknesses. Si Yiluo provides information, and Shen Moran secretly uses coercion and inducement to win them over.
It's easy to use at critical times.
Si Yiluo hummed.
"It was Boge's 60th birthday on the second day of the seventh lunar month. In order to celebrate his birthday, Wang Sheng, a doctor in the arsenal of the Ministry of War, secretly withdrew the gunpowder from the warehouse and gave it to the workshop to develop fireworks. The weather was too hot, and the gunpowder spontaneously ignited and exploded, causing the fire during the day."
"How could Mr. Boge's political opponents miss this opportunity when they are presented with a handle? Starting from tomorrow, the court will be lively again... You can take advantage of this stall to take care of Jiang Si's affairs, and prepare another copy for me by the way. Birthday gift."
No matter how much his political opponents try to bite him, this incident will not hurt Bo'an's foundation, and the birthday banquet will probably be held officially.
Shen Moran wrote it down in his mind.
"It's getting late, clean up and go to bed early."
There was thunder one after another tonight, and Shen Moran was afraid that she would not be able to sleep, so she stepped forward and hugged her arm.
"I'll sleep with you tonight, I'm scared to be alone."
Bitao, who was pushed away by her: "..."
She has a night watcher every night, right! Isn’t she a human being for such a big person?
Si Yiluo saw through her little thoughts.
"The bed is half for one person, and you are not allowed to cross the line."
Shen Moran patted her chest and promised.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything!"
Si Yiluo didn't quite believe it, and the two of them stared at each other.
Yue Beishu came in carrying a tray.
"Sir, I will help you apply the medicine."
Shen Moran put away her joy, sat aside, watched him take out the medicine, and took Si Yiluo's injured hand.
The wound had already scabbed over. It had been soaked in water last night and she had been fighting fires and rescuing people during the day. The wound was cracked and inflamed, and the entire palm of her hand was red and swollen. She casually wrapped it with a handkerchief.
Yue Beishu said in a distressed tone: "The little man took good care of the adults' wounds, and they finally healed up... Can the adults take care of themselves?"
His tone was reproachful, but Si Yiluo knew he was in the wrong and did not argue, waiting for him to deal with it.
Clean the wound carefully and bandage it carefully.
Yue Beishu took the tray and left without making any unnecessary movements from beginning to end.
"A Luo, I think Yue Beishu is quite good. If your governor treats you half as well as he treats you, I won't say bad things about him."
Wei Heyan was cold to everyone. Shen Moran didn't like Wei Heyan, not even in this life, and she didn't understand what kind of ecstasy Wei Heyan gave her!
"He used me and killed me in my previous life. He was sorry for me, but we have nothing to do with each other in this life. The skills he taught me in my previous life are what he taught me in my previous life. What I am today depends entirely on this skill."
"So, I don't hate him. It's good to be his rival in this life."
Sooner or later the winner will be decided! Either you die or I die!
Shen Moran pouted.
"So last night you went to the lake with Prince Xiang and Wei Heyan. Did anything happen? You still have an old crush on him, can you resist his temptation?"
As soon as Wei Heyan stopped under the eaves, Si Yiluo's calm and composed voice came from inside the house.
"No, Xiang Xiao and I had a great time drinking. I don't know when he left. He is just a rival to me..."
"But how can he have the leisure to accompany you to swim in the lake? It's too abnormal."
"Maybe it's because Xiang Xiao and I have special status that we need him to personally monitor..."
"oh……"
Wei Heyan's mood was like today's heavy rain, which made him feel cold. He wanted to rush in and ask that heartless woman who clearly agreed to be his last night...
I will turn my back on you today!
very good!
The rain suppressed the heat and the night was rarely cool. Si Yiluo closed the window and gave Shen Moran her seat inside the bed. She lay on the outside wearing her underwear.
Shen Moran reached out and poked her waist.
Si Yiluo brushed her hand away and turned over. The soft flesh around her waist was attacked again, but she didn't move at all.
"Is this interesting?"
Shen Moran chuckled twice and joked: "You are as hard as iron. I was wondering if you really have something to do with that top card, which one of you two is on top..."
"Ordinary men are probably no match for you. Yue Beishu is too unsuspicious! Aluo, if you and Wei Heyan had a fight in bed, who would win?"
She seemed to know that Si Yiluo would not answer her, so she was enjoying gossiping alone.
"But it doesn't have that function. Even if it's on it, it's of no use..."
Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Si Yiluo suddenly lifted the quilt, kicked up his shoes and opened the door to go out.
"I'll sleep next door!"
Lightning flashed and a figure rolled out from the roof. Si Yiluo glanced at it and calmly made the bed and turned off the lights.
Wei Heyan landed and waited for a while. There was no other person except himself on the rainy night.
After half a stick of incense, the rain wet all the hems of his clothes and stuck to his body stickyly. He smiled coldly, feeling that his behavior today was like a fool.
"Lord Governor, where have you been?" Si Hai was shocked by his appearance and hurriedly ordered his servants to go to the kitchen to make soup. "Lord Governor, please take off your wet clothes and take a hot bath first. Be careful of catching a cold!"
Wei Heyan took off his clothes for a moment.
"You go out first, you don't need anyone to serve you tonight!"
The servants carried the bathtub into the house, and Wei Heyan jumped in with his clothes on, his temples twitching.
