伽罗娜

  His thoughts spun quickly as he thought of a way to break through the situation.

  He did not have much power at hand, but it was not like there was no chance of turning the tables. As long as he planned well, he might have a 50% chance of success.

  Father\'s influence was very great, and the Crown Prince could be ignored. The incident that happened two nights ago was sealed, and it was no secret in the eyes of the top nobles. Although they did not know why there was a rift between them and the Empress, they were completely defeated in this confrontation! If not for His Majesty\'s intervention, Zheng Fugui and Chen Youcai would have been frozen, and Qing \'er and Shuang\' er would have been sent to the Education Bureau. Their corpses would have been completely cold by now.

  She was not sure how powerful the Empress was, but she was probably on par with her father. The combined power of the two and the royal family was already at the peak of the Great Xia Dynasty. It was not impossible to fight against them, unless they controlled Jixia Learning Palace. If there was someone in the officialdom who was comparable to the Grand Tutor, at least the Grand Tutor or the Grand Protector, the Empress and the royal family would be able to fight against them as long as they controlled one-third of the dynasty\'s army.

  As the head of Jixia Academy, she was in charge of the future of Jixia Academy. If she nurtured and planned well, these disciples would be her capable assistants. When her power expanded further, she would control half of Jixia Academy, or even all of it. She would be a huge force that no one could ignore!

  In the officialdom.

  No one was more suitable than Zhang Ronghua. No one could ignore the potential he had shown. He had achieved so much at such a young age and was already a fourth-grade official. In time, he would be able to enter the Tianji Pavilion. When he became the Pavilion Elder, his power would not be inferior to his father\'s, but it would not be much different. If a conflict broke out again, he would be able to block all the attacks.

  Only the army was not easy to deal with. She was a woman, and her noble status was useless. Those generals did not acknowledge her, and she could not interfere. Otherwise, it would easily lead to a series of changes, and even other factions would be involved. Emperor Xia would not watch helplessly as things grew.

  In the eyes of outsiders, she was backed by the Grand Tutor and Jixia Learning Palace, two top forces. If she were to interfere with the army, once she succeeded, she would become three huge forces. No one would agree to such a powerful force!

  It was very tricky, but he could not give up!

  It was not good for him to interfere, but Zhang Ronghua was different. He had a clean identity and no power. He was not from a noble family. Zheng Fugui had already been transferred to the Fifth Division of City Defense. Cao Xing was in the Golden Scale Mysterious Sky Army. With them as leverage, he might be able to succeed.

  At the thought of this, the grievances and discomfort in his heart were swept away, and the invisible shackles that trapped him completely disappeared.

  Her red and supple lips curled up slightly, revealing her bright teeth. Her temperament changed, and there was a desire to become stronger. This made her even more attractive and mesmerizing.

  Restraining his emotions, he walked towards Zhang Ronghua\'s mansion.

  After the plan was set, it still had to be perfected. Only after making sure that there were no loopholes could it be implemented! She also had to figure out what he was thinking. Or rather, she had to see if she occupied an important position in his heart and if she dared to take a gamble.

  When she arrived at the courtyard gate, she tapped her jade-like feet and easily climbed over it, walking towards the backyard.

  After dinner.

  After washing the dishes, Uncle Shi came out of the kitchen. When he reached the backyard, he saw Ji Xueyan walking towards him. He was slightly stunned, but he quickly regained his senses. Zhang Ronghua had just left and was walking over. He should have seen her. He politely said," Qinglin just went out. Do you want to wait for a while?"

  "Yes." Ji Xueyan replied softly.

  He entered the room.

  Seeing that the door was closed, he thought for a while and looked at the study room. The lights were on and Purple Cat was reading. He shook his head. This little guy was usually very clever. What was wrong today? Was there any use in studying? She would serve him well and get him whatever he wanted.

  Shaking his head, he walked over.

  He stopped outside the window and knocked twice.

  In the room.

  Purple Cat was stunned. He could sense that Uncle Shi was standing outside the window. Was he looking for him?

  Putting down the book, he raised his little paw and grabbed at the air. A powerful suction force burst out from his paw and opened the window. He jumped and landed on the windowsill. The cat\'s eyes rolled around and called out in confusion," What?"

  He suddenly remembered that he did not know cat language.

  Uncle Shi pointed at Zhang Ronghua\'s bedroom and said," Miss Ji is here. She should have seen Qinglin and Miss Yang go out. I\'m afraid she\'ll do something stupid. Go and keep an eye on her."

  Purple Cat was suspicious and raised her eyebrows. "When did he leave?" she asked again.

  Uncle Shi frowned. His face was tightly knitted together, as if he didn\'t understand." Are you talking to me?" he asked.

  "???"Purple Cat was confused.

  Was there a mistake? Uncle Shi couldn\'t understand cat language. It turned out that the cat was overthinking.

  She jumped down from the windowsill and closed it with her little paw. Then, she ran towards Zhang Ronghua\'s bedroom.

  He waited for the cat to disappear.

  Uncle Shi looked at the sky. The expression on his face relaxed as he laughed mockingly.

  He turned around and left.

  In the room.

  Ji Xueyan sat on a chair with a wall behind her. She stretched out her hand and patted her waist. She took out an exquisite bronze mirror and placed it on the table. She looked at herself in the mirror. She had just cried so hard that her eyes were red and swollen. The eye cream on her eyelashes had melted and her makeup was ruined. Her hair was messy and covered half of her face. She looked very haggard. She wasn\'t as beautiful as she used to be, nor was she charming enough. She couldn\'t show her full beauty.
