Chapter 159 The Fate of the Palace (1)
After leaving the palace, Shui Lingxi changed her previous pitiful appearance and showed a sneering smile. Shui Linglong is still the same as before, taking advantage of the opportunity to plot against others, it's no wonder she didn't want the raft that came to her door!It's a pity, it's a pity, she never thought that she would use her in reverse!

In the study room of the Pingnanhou Mansion, Xun Feng was discussing government affairs with the Jinshang Palace. Since the Pingnan Palace was demoted to the Pingnanhou Mansion, more than one or two of the forces who took refuge in them ran away. In addition, the Zhenbei Palace and Guo Yan fully supported Yun. Li, some neutral officials stood in Yunli's camp one after another. Politics affected the economy, and their business across the country was also hit hard, resulting in a plummeting turnover. It is undoubtedly a major blow!Forced by the situation, even if Xun Feng was unwilling to act rashly at this juncture, he had to make some achievements to win people's hearts.

"Old Master Zhuge has entered Beijing, what do you think?" Xun Feng put down the secret report in his hand, his thin lips parted slightly, and his voice seemed to flow out from between his lips and teeth.

Jin Shanggong touched the golden tassels on his head, and said thoughtfully: "The old man abdicated in the early years, and now he is alone. The emperor doesn't care where he goes, but... I think it's strange for him to enter the capital this time."

"Leng Youru's chess piece is useless." Xun Feng gave a conclusion lightly.

Jin Shanggong blinked his purple eyeshadowed eyes fiercely, and said in disbelief, "No way? We've helped her so much, and the years of cooperation will be over if they collapse? Will she expose us?"

"Don't underestimate Mr. Zhuge. Leng Youru was kicked out of the palace. Since Leng's family is not making trouble, someone must have restrained them, and the only one who can restrain them is the empress who is the empress. Make a move, only win, not lose." Xun Feng's bright red lips curved indifferently, but the cold light in his eyes was like flying snow, "Forget it, it's not us who forced Leng Youru, she herself is also the culprit. There is absolutely no reason for a sinner to go to the yamen to appeal for grievances, to expose us, she must first expose herself, she is willing to give up her family and life, and the Zhuge family can't afford to lose face."

Jin Shanggong let out a long breath: "What is your son going to do next?"

Xun Feng's slender jade-like fingers slowly slid across the map on the desktop, marking two red marks on the road west of the capital, and he said thoughtfully: "It's time to do it."

"My lord, concubine Shui Fang asks to see you!" Outside the door, a servant suddenly reported.

Jin Shanggong's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Xun Feng.Xun Feng nodded to her, she understood, and walked lightly into the small room behind the gauze cabinet.

When Shui Lingxi entered the study room, Xun Feng's desk had been cleaned up. There were no secret letters or maps, only a piece of fresh rice paper, with a black jade inkstone and a gilt brush beside it.

"Msister." Shui Lingxi saluted calmly and gracefully. She is not a fool. After a long time, she has gradually figured out a way to get along with Xun Feng. This man is born to be a master, and no one is allowed to disobey in any form. Or betray him, "I went to Zhenbei Palace today to see my eldest sister, she is pregnant."

Xun Feng's eyelashes, which were thicker and curled up than women's, trembled, and asked, "What did you say? Say it again."

Shui Lingxi was stunned: "My eldest sister is pregnant, so I... went to see her today."

pregnant?A layer of dangerous undercurrent surged rapidly in Xun Feng's eyes, like a calm sea, suddenly a strong wind and dark clouds covered it, and then the downpour of lightning and thunder followed by a tsunami mercilessly swept towards the survivors. The room is full of death-like suffocation...

Shui Lingxi shivered like falling into an ice cellar: "I...I really... only saw the eldest sister...Zhuge Yu is not here...he went to court..."

The focus of the two is not in the same place at all!Xun Feng picked up the brush, intending to write a few words on the rice paper, but just before the pen was written, there was a "click" and the brush broke in two!
Shui Lingxi was so frightened that she thought that he suspected that she had gone to meet Zhuge Yu privately, so she quickly argued, "I swear, I only saw my eldest sister!" In a daze, she called Zhuge Yu's name, and since then, she has lived a miserable life.The cruelty of this man's methods has reached a level that cannot be described in words, so much so that she did have the idea of ​​running away, but after more and more perverted abuses, she never dared to think about him anymore!

In just a few breaths, Xun Feng had suppressed the churning thoughts in his heart, and he smiled softly: "Oh? I went to see my eldest sister, how is she?"

Shui Lingxi swallowed her saliva, and said tremblingly: "My eldest sister is fine, not as serious as other pregnant women who suffer from nausea."

Xun Feng believes that whether a woman and a man have a dewy marriage or a real marriage, there is nothing to be afraid of.To get Shui Linglong, he has a lot of patience.What really displeased him was that Shui Linglong had Zhuge Yu's child!In most cases, children are a pair of men and women who will continue to cut the fetters for a lifetime!It will be much harder to separate the two of them in the future!

Seeing that Xun Feng didn't speak, Shui Lingxi didn't know whether he believed her own words, so she boldly said, "Master, this time I went to the palace and discovered... some problems with Shui Linglong!"

Xun Feng sensitively captured the change in her title, and the inadvertent flash of light in his eyes when talking about Shui Linglong. He seemed to... smell... something interesting!

"Oh? What's the problem?" He asked softly, his eyes were clear, like a newly born ugly baby unknown to the world, making people want to lean in uncontrollably.But as long as he thinks of his outrageous methods, Shui Lingxi shrinks her neck shudderingly, "I happened to see the third princess coming out of the mansion when I went, the third princess must be visiting Shui Linglong. To be honest, they... colluded together!"

"Oh?" Xun Feng showed a playful smile.

Shui Lingxi stroked the wide sleeve of her left arm, revealing the scar on her arm, Xun Feng squinted her eyes, and heard her tremblingly say: "I know that our Pingnan Hou's Mansion and Zhenbei Prince's Mansion are incompatible, so I borrowed the opportunity to visit relatives." I deliberately revealed to Shui Linglong that I was being abused in the palace. Of course, she was very suspicious. I didn't ask her for help. She asked me if I wanted to escape from the palace. I didn't answer, but was very Looking at her expectantly. Immediately, she said to me, "Second sister, let's not talk about how you and I used to be. You hate me, and I don't like you. There is no need for anyone to cater to anyone. It's just that we have something in common now." I will help you leave the Marquis of Pingnan, and you will help me lead Xun Feng into the army!" I pretended to be contemplative and agreed to her condition."

At that time, Shui Linglong said: "The Marquis of Pingnan was forced to go to Liangshan. Not to mention a large number of officials in the court and the central government left them, and the economy of major industries was also greatly impacted. Now the Pingnan Palace urgently needs a victory to stabilize it. It is an excellent opportunity for Guo Yan to escort the relief supplies to Kashgar! Considering the possibility of an ambush on the way, the imperial court decided to set off in two ways in the form of a caravan, with one team carrying the supplies and the other fully It's a cover, Guo Yan will disguise himself and mix in the team with supplies. From the capital to Kashgar, there are two official roads to choose from, one starts from the former dynasty, passes through Quanzhou, and walks along the waterway, which is flat, wide and densely populated , but farther away; the other one was built by the former empress, passing through several mountain tunnels, shortening the distance by one-fifth, but it is deserted. If you are ambushing, this road is the best! All you need to do is tell Xun Feng , you peeked at my letter to Guo Yan, go by water!"

Shui Lingxi relayed Shui Linglong's words to Xun Feng verbatim. During the process of her narration, Xun Feng looked at her brows and eyes for a moment, and pressed her hand on her bright wrist, and assisted her with the beating of her pulse. Judging whether she lied or not, all kinds of data show that she is telling the truth!

Of course, Shui Lingxi was telling the truth, she didn't have the guts to escape from Xun Feng's imprisonment, because she knew that no matter where she fled to the ends of the earth, this perverted man would have a way to find her back, and punish and torture her even more!Therefore, she never planned to cooperate with Shui Linglong from the beginning, she just wanted to lure Shui Linglong to make a move, and then she would tell Xun Feng everything, so as to express her sincerity to Xun Feng!
"Shui Linglong wants me to believe that Guo Yan is walking along the waterway. In this case, Guo Yan is actually planning to take the mountain road!" Xun Feng's thin lips curled up, and he stretched out his slender fingers, slowly stroking her slightly trembling lips, The cold and slightly hard touch made Shui Lingxi feel that the one touching her was not a person, but a cold skeleton. Shui Lingxi was so frightened that her scalp went numb for a while, and she subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but she heard him say with a faint smile, "Well done."

Shui Linglong leaves the mansion in the name of buying cloth, and meets Guo Yan in a small courtyard in the west of the city.Compared with the youthful ones in the past, this time Guo Yan is a little more stable than a young boy. Shui Linglong recalled the words of the third princess, "Guo Yan and I have consummated the house." It turns out that there is a difference between a man and a boy .

Guo Yan noticed that Shui Linglong was staring at him with a smirk, and couldn't help beating his heart: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me today?"

Shui Linglong thought that Shen Shi had to rush back to pay respects to the old man, so she decided to make a long story short: "I have one thing to say, this time you are escorting the relief supplies to Kashgar, Xun Feng will definitely get in the way, and an ambush along the way is inevitable!"

Guo Yan's eyes gradually dimmed: "The emperor attaches great importance to this escort of supplies. He not only sent top experts to accompany him, but also notified the government along the way to make corresponding handovers, and I will also bring Guo's dark secrets with me." Wei. Well...Zhuge Yu also gave me four owl guards, it should be foolproof!"

When she heard that Zhuge Yu also made an effort, Shui Linglong was slightly taken aback, and then her expression became serious: "No, you don't know that Xun Feng has a group of special forces that are not inferior to the guards of the palace. Charge, the number of people is about ten, but the fighting power is extremely strong! If they separate and ambush half of the two roads, you may win, but based on my understanding of Xun Feng, he will not do this, he will analyze me Ideas, determine a route, and then concentrate firepower to defend it!"

Shui Linglong told Guo Yan about the conversation with Shui Lingxi again, omitting the item of sexual abuse: "...Xun Feng is cautious, even if he tortures Shui Lingxi for some reason, he will not leave scars on his body, especially on his arms. This kind of place is too easy to expose. So I guess, Shui Lingxi's injury was caused by herself. She probably just wanted to trick me, maybe it was to win Xun Feng's favor, or maybe she just didn't want me because she was having a hard time. Better off."

"Then, you asked Shui Lingxi to mislead Xun Feng that I would go along the water path, and if Shui Lingxi told Xun Feng that you were plotting against him, would Xun Feng guess that I finally decided to take the mountain path?"

Shui Linglong shook her head: "No, Xun Feng will judge that Shui Lingxi's disguise won't work for me at all, what I taught Shui Lingxi is all fake!"

Guo Yan's brain is not enough: "Then... what is he thinking? Which way are we going to go?"

Shui Linglong smiled narrowly, and whispered something in Guo Yan's ear, Guo Yan's expression was horrified...

After Shui Lingxi left, Jin Shanggong walked out of the small room with a puzzled look on his face: "My lord, Shui Linglong asked Shui Lingxi to tell us to take the water route, but we should actually take the mountain road."

Xun Feng smiled: "Heh! Do you think Shui Linglong didn't realize that Shui Lingxi was injured by herself, and deliberately led her to plot against me?"

"Huh?" Jin Shanggong was stunned, "Shui Linglong can even see this?"

"If she can't see it, how can she deserve to fight with me for so long?" Xun Feng smiled coldly, "But I will definitely destroy the supplies this time! Shui Linglong must think that I will analyze her psychology and concentrate on drawing conclusions." The firepower defends one of the roads! But this time, she really miscalculated! Let the special forces go out to fight, and I will ambush the two gates. I want to see if Shui Linglong wins!"

Jin Shanggong took a breath: "My son, there are only ten special forces. If we fight separately, we may not be able to defeat Guo Yan, who was prepared too early."

Xun Feng closed his eyes and said sharply, "Take double doses of stimulants before the battle! If necessary, injections of RI virus are allowed, indicators...one for each team!"

After Shui Linglong bid farewell to Guo Yan, she bought some fabrics and went back to the palace. As soon as she entered Mohe Courtyard, she went to the small kitchen without taking a rest.At about Moshen time, Zhuge Yu and King An Jun came back from court, and everyone went to Tian'anju to meet the old lady at the same time.Shui Linglong noticed that Zhuge Yu's eyes had several red bloodshot eyes, she shook the hands they were holding, and asked softly, "Zhi Fan said, you had a long talk with grandpa last night, what are you talking about, so energetic?"

In fact, what Zhifan was talking about was that Zhuge Yu went to see the old man when the old man came back, and at dawn, Shui Linglong automatically made up a conversation between the two of them at night by candlelight. Drop a few drops of golden beans from time to time to express lovesickness.If Zhuge Yu knew what she was thinking at this time, he would definitely be stunned with fright. Besides torturing people, the old devil is still torturing people.

Shui Linglong began to care about his life, and Zhuge Yu felt that she was more important in her heart, Zhuge Yu smiled happily: "Last night, I was not the only one, grandma, father, and second aunt They're all there, you're in a deep sleep, so I didn't call you!" He bypassed the conversation about what to do!
Shui Linglong brushed back the hair from her temples, and stopped asking.Zhuge Yu vaccinated her again in advance: "Well... Grandpa has a hot temper and speaks quite loudly, but I guess you shouldn't be afraid because of your courage."

Afraid or not is the second, the main thing is that I don't want her to mind!Shui Linglong gave a reassuring smile: "Well, I see."

As soon as she stepped into the gate of Tian'anju's courtyard, Shui Linglong understood why Zhuge Yu said that. After a long hallway and thick door panels, the sonorous and powerful voice still rushed towards her face, like an ancient Hong Zhong Knocking, the sound waves stirred up ten thousand meters of ocean waves, and the content of the conversation was only - "This matter is settled like this!"

Shui Linglong blinked, what's the matter?
In the main house, the old matriarch glared at Zhuge Xiaotian angrily, very, very wronged!Extremely, strongly disagree!

Zhuge Xiaotian didn't notice anything wrong, he felt good about himself and said: "Also, from tomorrow onwards, everyone including the servants will have physical exercise in the morning and evening, most of them work during the day, and the training ground will be crowded in the morning Some, so today, cut down the bamboo forest in the back lake and make it a second training ground."

The old matriarch finally couldn't help but said: "The servants have worked hard enough, and you let them exercise. Isn't this increasing their physical burden?"

Zhuge Xiaotian put the teacup he just took a sip on the table, and said righteously: "Work is work, and exercise is exercise. After exercise, not only will it not increase the burden, but it will make them work. It's easier! It can also prevent many diseases! Let me give you the simplest analogy, the servants chopping wood. They only use their arms to chop wood, but they don't exercise their whole body. Sitting and standing in one posture for a long time will lead to lack of exercise in the spine and lower plate, and blocked tendons, which will easily lead to lumbar muscle strain, stiff neck, and swollen legs. It’s okay when I’m young, but when I’m as old as you and me, huh, just watch , the pain was so painful that I couldn’t even get out of bed!”

The old lady tugged at the purse at her waist without saying a word!

Zhuge Xiaotian twisted his pale beauty, and explained in a different way: "Let me tell you this, you have been beautifying your face all the time, so tell me, is it better to use facial ointment, or to take donkey-hide gelatin?" ?”

The old lady replied without thinking: "Of course I eat donkey-hide gelatin! The face cream is only smooth on the surface, but eating donkey-hide gelatin can make the whole body energetic, and the complexion is rosy from the inside out!"

Zhuge Xiaotian patted his right palm with the back of his left hand: "Isn't this the end? Exercising is the same principle! I haven't seen you for a few months, but you have learned to argue with me! After so many years in Kashgar, you have not Asked me such stupid questions!"
