To some extent, Jiang Pengji and Nie Xun were the same kind of people.
She seemed unreasonable because she was too rational.
In the eyes of outsiders, Gu Zhen was a competent stepmother. She wrote many letters to ask about her well-being almost every year.
If it wasn't Jiang Pengji but someone else, they would have been touched by her and their hearts would have been warmed.
Jiang Pengji was an exception. She didn't mind others describing her as "heartless." No matter how much Gu Zhen cared for her over the years, her heart was never warmed. Because she knew very well that she and Gu Zhen were just plastic flowers. It looked good, but it was fake.
What was real couldn't be fake, and what was fake couldn't be real.
Gu Zhen knew in her heart that Jiang Pengji was not the Liu Xi she had raised. How sincere was her concern and concern?
Did Jiang Pengji look like a child who lacked calcium since childhood and grew up without love?
Gu Zhen wasn't related to her at all. How could she sincerely treat someone else's family as her own?
If she was really touched and fell head first into it, that would be really stupid.
Her relationship with Gu Zhen was at most an ally.
She gave Gu Zhen a "great creation," and Gu Zhen helped her hide her identity. They both took what they needed and hit it off.
How much true feelings could they have without this deal?
Jiang Pengji didn't show it on her face. She tilted her head and listened to everyone's report, but she couldn't help but yawn in her heart.
After listening, she said with a serious face, "We'll be busy before the New Year. Please pay more attention and try to stop writing and rest as soon as possible."
Qiguan Rang and the other old foxes couldn't help but twitch their mouths. They looked like they knew it.
Yang Si and the others were even bolder. They couldn't help but roll their eyes.
It was the same thing every year. The trick was old and nothing new. Every year, they were tired of it and applied for a new trick.
Even Han Yu, who had just joined for a year, couldn't help but sigh.
He had been fooled once. How could he be fooled a second time?
He didn't know that Jiang Pengji thought this trick could be played until she retired.
She planned to work overtime every day during her reign. How could her subordinates get annual leave?
Haha, that's impossible.
After the meeting, Jiang Pengji was ready to take some people out for a tour.
She had been in charge for so many years. She wouldn't feel a sense of accomplishment if she didn't take a good look at the changes and progress in her territory.
"Lord …"
Everyone left one after another. Only Qiguan Rang had something to report, so he stayed behind.
Jiang Pengji asked, "Hmm?"
"Lady Taxue is still locked up and waiting for my lord's punishment," Qiguan Rang said. "Do you want to go and take a look, my lord?"
"She's a poor woman, too. But who asked a pitiful person to have a hateful side? In any case, we used to be master and servant. I'll send her off to fulfill this friendship. " She stood up from her seat, flicked her sleeves, and said to Qiguan Rang, "Wenzheng, let's go and take a look."
Qiguan Rang reminded her worriedly, "Lady Taxue is a little strange. My lord must not get too close to her."
Taxue's appearance was not considered top-notch, but her captivating eyes were somewhat evil. Many soldiers had been affected by them previously.
Jiang Pengji said, "Of course I know she's weird. I wanted to let her go at first, but who knew she'd come looking for death."
At first, she thought that Taxue was a double agent. However, she later realized that she was a triple agent.
On one hand, she was instigated by the main system. On the other hand, she listened to Liu She's orders. At the same time, she was the spy that the time-traveler had placed in the Liu residence.
Of course, this last identity was to cover up the other two.
Taxue probably did not know that there were so many big shots behind her, nor did she know what they were using her for.
Jiang Pengji thought that was probably Taxue's limit. However, after careful investigation, she realized that she had missed one person.
The reason why she had missed this person was that Jiang Pengji was too conceited.
Now that she thought about it carefully, there might be other developments.
"Taxue, long time no see."
Taxue had been locked up by Qiguan Rang from one small dark room to another that was even more heavily guarded. She had not seen the light of day for a long time. Her skin had become deathly pale. She had also lost a lot of weight. One could almost see the blue blood vessels buried under her thin skin.
She had dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she had not slept for a long time. Fatigue was written all over her face.
When the small dark room opened, the sunlight from outside shone straight in. It made Taxue, who had not seen the light for a long time, feel extremely uncomfortable.
She raised her hand to block the sunlight in front of her eyes and watched Jiang Pengji walk against the light.
"Hehe, Langjun."
Taxue was no longer as docile as before. Her gaze was a little murky and fierce.
When she thought of the sufferings she had suffered in the past few days, her hatred for Jiang Pengji increased.
Jiang Pengji said, "Langjun? I heard from Wenzheng that you didn't say that before. "
Taxue said in a strange tone, "You're just a lonely soul. Of course, I'm not calling you. My poor Langjun, your nest has been occupied by a dove."
"It's hard to say whether it's a dove occupying a magpie's nest." Jiang Pengji crossed her arms in front of her chest and laughed. "On the contrary, all of you are scheming against me. Did I dig up your ancestral graves in my previous life? Or did I go disco surf on your graves? Do you really think I'm easy to bully? "
Even though so many years had passed, Jiang Pengji still remembered the details of when she had just transmigrated.
There was a question that had been overlooked, but it was still a mystery.
How did Liu Xi die?
According to the System, he knocked his head. He was frightened by the bandits and had a high fever. He could not swallow his last breath and died.
This explanation was reasonable, but Jiang Pengji felt that something was wrong.
When she woke up in Liu Xi's body, his body temperature was normal.
In other words, the time between her arrival and Liu Xi's death was very close.
The future world's definition of death was spiritual death, where one's spiritual power would completely dissipate. As a big boss who had reached the limit of her brain, Jiang Pengji was naturally very sensitive to spiritual power. Even though she was still weak at that time, she did not find any traces of Liu Xi's spiritual power.
It would take half an hour for his spiritual power to completely dissipate. Half an hour was enough for his body to cool down.
There was a contradiction between these two points.
Unless someone took away Liu Xi's soul before she regained consciousness.
If that was the case, many clues would become clear. This was also one of the reasons why Jiang Pengji suspected that Liu Xi was still alive.
The two of them did not hide their conversation from Qiguan Rang.
When Jiang Pengji admitted it, his hand that was waving the fan paused for a moment, then returned to normal.
"Taxue, if you can cooperate and answer a few questions of mine, I can let you go."
Taxue sneered. "Do you think you can buy people's hearts this way? Even if you kill me, it will take me to the Elysium. "
"I don't know if there's a Elysium in this world. I only know that those who plot against me will die under my sword sooner or later!"
Not to mention that she did not do anything, even if she really dug up someone's ancestral grave in her previous life and went disco surf on their graves, the enemy would not be able to capture her without putting up a fight.
