I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Originally, many people doubted whether she had the ability to lead the Great Zhou towards a more prosperous future.

After seeing the current situation, everyone's doubts disappeared and there were no more doubts.

Not everyone can have such courage at such a young age.

After returning to the palace, Jiang Linglong finally felt relieved and could temporarily relax.

"Now that the Flame King is dead, even if someone still has other ideas, they won't do anything for the time being. I should be able to relax for a long time!"

Hearing her say this, Dugu Aoyun smiled.

"If you are worried about those people, you can make a list and I will get rid of them all. That will also solve your worries. Isn't that better?"

Hearing this, Jiang Linglong shook her head and immediately denied it.

"No, this is not the best strategy. It's not fair to kill someone so easily. Even if others don't have evidence, they will still suspect me."

"Besides, if innocent people are killed, it would be a waste of life. There is no need for this!"

Lu Yuan also agreed with this point and nodded.

"Yes, this method is indeed not feasible."

After a pause, he gave another reminder.

"However, you have to remember that those people may not take any action for the time being as you think, but they may also do the opposite, thinking that you will let down your guard at this time, and take the opportunity to kill you by surprise!"

"We still need to take precautions. We must not be careless. You must understand that even if the tree wants to be still, the wind will not stop!"

Jiang Linglong knew the truth very well and naturally understood what to do next.

At this time, Dugu Aoyun took over the conversation.

"Lord Lu, don't worry. I am here to protect her safety. Unless the White Emperor comes in person, no one will be my opponent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had mentioned someone he shouldn't have, and immediately shut up.

However, Lu Yuan didn't seem to mind. Instead, he talked about it with Jiang Linglong.

"According to the current situation, Baidi will not do anything to you, so you don't have to worry too much. But he will definitely take action later, and I will intervene at that time."

The matter of Prince Yan has been resolved, and Prince Jing has learned of his death.

After hearing this, Prince Jing was a little surprised.

"I never thought that I underestimated Jiang Linglong. She is so young, still a little girl, but she is so ruthless. It seems that she will be a rival in the future!"

Hearing what he said, the follower continued.

"Your Highness, don't worry. No matter how capable she is, she is just a young girl. She won't amount to anything. What the final outcome will be depends on your will."

"It's just that I don't understand why the prince has been lying dormant like this. Now that King Yan is in trouble, the prince can play his role."

Prince Jing was not in a hurry and shook his head slowly.

"This is not something that can be rushed. If I show it at this time, people will target me, and the image I have worked so hard to build over the years will also be questioned."

"I need to wait for an opportunity and take it slow. Once I have infiltrated all the power, Jiang Linglong will be completely sidelined. What the result will be at that time will all depend on my thoughts."

“If she is smart, I will not make things difficult for her. I will give her some money and let her leave the palace and live in peace. If she fights me to the end, that will only be her idea!” Prince Jing has only known how to eat, drink and have fun since he was a child, and has never cared about anything in the court.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to do it, but because he knows the principle of keeping a low profile.

He has seen too many intrigues and deceptions, so he naturally understands how to protect himself in such an environment and not be framed by others.

Knowing this clearly, he started disguising himself early and made various careful arrangements.

After understanding Prince Jing's meaning, the subordinates began to report again.

"There are two most powerful people around Jiang Linglong right now, Commander Zhao and General Zhu. These two hold the military power tightly in their hands and are also very loyal. It may not be that easy to persuade them!"

Hearing this, Prince Jing did not take it seriously and said with a chuckle.

"It doesn't matter. No matter how loyal they are, they can't resist the temptation of money and power. As long as I give them enough, I don't believe they won't be shaken and fall to my side!"

As he spoke, he looked at his subordinates and asked.

"For example, if Jiang Linglong promised you endless wealth and supreme power, wouldn't you be tempted and willing to work for her?"

Upon hearing this, the subordinate was instantly horrified, and quickly knelt on the ground and made a promise.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will be absolutely loyal to you and would not dare to have any evil thoughts!"

Seeing this, Prince Jing smiled and spoke.

"I was just joking with you, why are you so nervous? Besides, I know you well, you don't need to be so scared, let alone nervous. This is human nature. Even if you really did this, I wouldn't blame you."

Even though he said so, his subordinates understood Prince Jing's methods.

He seems to be tolerant to his subordinates, but in fact he is cruel and ruthless and will do anything to achieve his goals.

If any of his subordinates dared to betray him, he would not only show no mercy, but would also torture them to death.

It is precisely because of this that the subordinates dare not disobey and keep making promises.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I have always followed Your Majesty and will never do anything like that!"

Seeing that his body had begun to tremble, Prince Jing laughed.

"Don't worry, I'm a man of my words. It's normal for you to have such thoughts. I don't think there is any problem with it."

"But it's better not to."

After saying this, Prince Jing turned and went into the study.

He always appears to be unlearned in front of others, but in private, he studies hard.

He is ambitious and has aspirations, but he knows that showing them too early is not a good thing. Instead, he will be targeted by others, and he will definitely not end up well.

In fact, King Yan also has his people around him. King Jing knows that King Yan did not touch him because he thought King Yan did not have any great abilities and was not to be feared, so he did not take action yet.

If he had any ability, King Yan would have shown no mercy and would have killed him long ago.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Prince Jing knows how to deal with himself and what to do to protect himself. (End of this chapter)
