Chapter 84
Zhuge Xi clenched his bare hands, breathing heavily: "Bring him into the mansion and find a doctor."

"This..." Huarong's face showed embarrassment. The prince and the prince hated Master Yao to the bone. If they knew that the young lady brought Master Yao into the mansion for medical treatment, they would definitely be furious. Her eyeballs moved, "How about... Someone send Mrs. Yao back to the Yao mansion?"

That's okay too!
Holding an umbrella, Zhuge Xi turned around slowly: "You arrange it."

Hua Rong let out a long breath, hurriedly called two guards and a carriage, and sent Yao Cheng back to Yao's house.

Shui Linglong took a charcoal pencil and drew a circle on the engineering drawing: "The location of this dam is not good. It is in Bo City, two hundred miles east of Kashiqing, which means that its control is in the hands of the imperial court." If the imperial court wants to destroy Kashgar, they can just open the gates to release the flood.”

Zhuge Yu said seriously: "This is also the place where my father and king have been arguing with them. From the geographical point of view, there are many basins in Bocheng, and there are also many dry lakes. It is indeed the best dam location near the west. If you want to hoard water in the south, it is difficult to have a better choice. The drought in Kashgar...is too serious, and Kashgar needs this project.”

Naturally, Shui Linglong knew that the location of the dam that Xun Feng had chosen had been carefully inspected, but if the control was handed over to the imperial court, no matter who was the emperor, Kashgar would become a lamb at the mercy of others. Pressing the center of his eyebrows: "Then change the city! To exchange Kashgar's city with Bo City, you must, must control the initiative in your own hands."

Zhuge Yu's eyes lit up, yes, this is a good idea!
Yao Mansion.

Mrs. Yao took the unconscious Yao Cheng into her yard to take care of him, and ordered someone to change him into dry clothes. After that, Mrs. Yao and Feng Yanying also came into the house.

Mrs. Yao glared at Mrs. Yao fiercely, and said sharply: "It's very good, you let him out! Look at what good deed you have done?"

Mrs. Yao knew she was wrong, she didn't dare to show her anger, she just lowered her head and let her mother-in-law reprimand her.

Feng Yanying didn't like to participate in the struggle between her mother-in-law and her mother-in-law, so she pretended not to hear, watching her with her eyes and her nose.

The doctor took Yao Cheng's pulse and gave him an injection, but the high fever still couldn't be relieved, and Yao Cheng's body was too weak!
"My lord, how is my son?" Mrs. Yao asked anxiously.

The adult shook his head and sighed slightly: "I haven't eaten or drank water for three days. If I guessed right, he vomited all the things I used indiscriminately in the morning. In such a situation, let alone rain, even more Running for a short distance is also very dangerous, according to his pulse, he was drenched in the rain for no less than three hours, the cold entered his body, his heart and lungs were damaged, there is no way to recover, let's prepare for the funeral."

In the side hall, Zhuge Yu was having dinner with Shui Linglong, because it took a long time to discuss the matter of the water falling from the south to the west, and both of them were very hungry.

Dinner was very rich, braised chicken with mushrooms, beef tripe in spicy oil, brine platter, stir-fried cabbage, cold bamboo shoots, mutton...all very spicy!
Shui Linglong remembered that Zhuge Yu didn't eat spicy food very much, but today he ate very happily, he even ate several pieces of boiled mutton, huh?Shui Linglong was very puzzled, not many people in Da Zhou could eat mutton.

But Zhuge Yu is a bit chauvinistic, it is impossible for him to serve Shui Linglong like Yao Cheng served Zhuge Xi, and it is not easy for him to serve a table full of meals according to Shui Linglong's taste.

As the saying goes, don't talk when you eat and don't talk when you sleep. After a meal, the two of them didn't say a word. Shui Linglong discovered a problem. She and Zhuge Yu didn't seem to have anything in common when they were together. It was endless silence, she didn't know what he was thinking, and he probably didn't understand what was in her head.

Yunli is as gentle as jade, Xun Feng is as cunning as a fox, Yao Cheng is silly and straightforward, what is Zhuge Yu like?Thinking of him killing Xue Juan and her husband, and remembering that he pardoned and rescued a beggar mother and son; remembering that he had caused countless troubles and was notorious, and also remembered his rigor and seriousness when talking about the water falling from the west, Shui Linglong just remembered. She felt that the Zhuge Yu she saw now was not the real Zhuge Yu.

After dinner, the rain eased, Zhuge Yu sent Shui Linglong back home, he held an umbrella for Shui Linglong, the umbrella was on top of her head, most of him was exposed outside, and he was still silent all the way.

This time Liu Lu really saw his uncle's face, as Zhi Fan said, he is the most handsome man she has ever seen, the eldest lady is very lucky.

Zhi Fan cautiously followed behind the two, with a smile in his eyes.

After getting into the carriage, Shui Linglong looked at Zhuge Yu's wet shoulder, hesitated for a moment whether to take care of him, and finally took out a dry towel and wiped it for him.

Zhuge Yu was slightly taken aback, a little unaccustomed to the behavior of a little woman like her, and after contemplating for a while, he said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you this time?"

Shui Linglong raised her forehead, this time my sister really has no distractions, she just wants to be gentle with you for a while.Shui Linglong threw the towel on him, and said angrily, "Wipe yourself!"

Zhuge Yu was taken aback again, his tone was very good, why should she be angry?

Suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes galloping head-on, and they accidentally startled the driving horses when they passed by the carriage. They heard the horses raising their hooves and roaring, and then sprinted to the side with the carriage like crazy.

Anping was terrified on the shaft of the car. The man had such a powerful aura just now that he frightened the horse to such a degree. He didn't even have a chance to scold and disappeared into the night. What should he do now?The horse is frightened, and I can't control it!

"Law--Law--" Anping called out loudly.

Zhifan and Liulu are frightened and hug each other quickly.

The carriage shook violently, and Shui Linglong slammed into the table in front of her!
Zhuge Yu grabbed her into his arms with one arm, and tightly held the handrail on the edge of the door with the other hand. A cup of hot tea was poured towards the water Linglong by inertia. He turned his back to block the cup of hot tea.

Hiss!
Severe pain came from his back, Zhuge Yu frowned slightly, but didn't say a word, just hugging Shui Linglong tightly in his arms, until An An stabilized the carriage, he sat up straight, leaned against the door panel, pretending to be something That didn't happen either.

Shui Linglong adjusted her hair and skirt in embarrassment: "Thank you."

Zhuge Yu snorted lightly, with a very great expression on his face.

Shui Linglong squinted at him, she was very grateful to him at first, but when he put on such a twitching expression, she lost all gratitude and felt extremely at ease.

Shui Linglong opened the curtain and asked the people outside: "Are you alright?"

Anping smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, miss, but the slave didn't catch the car well."

"It's not your fault. The man rode too fast just now. It's expected that the horse was frightened. Are you not injured?" Shui Linglong asked.

Anping scratched his head: "No, thank you Miss for your concern."

"What about you?" Shui Linglong asked Xiang Zhifan and Liu Lu again.

Liu Lu patted her chest and was still in shock: "It's okay, it's okay, I was a little frightened, but I wasn't injured. It was too dangerous. Just now, the servant almost fell out."

Zhi Fan lowered his head: "Slave maid...it's okay."

What is "it's okay"?Shui Linglong asked, "Where did you get hurt?"

Zhi Fan truthfully replied: "It's a little scratched, it's fine."

Shui Linglong looked at Zhuge Yu, and smiled: "You seem to have a cure for sores, can you give me a bottle?"

"Tch—" Zhuge Yu laughed, the meaning was a bit difficult to distinguish, "It's in the cabinet, you take it yourself."

Shui Linglong took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from the cabinet and handed it to Zhifan: "Wipe it first, and then clean it later."

Holding the medicine in his hands, Zhi Fan said happily, "Thank you, Shizi, thank you, Miss."

Shui Linglong asked everyone, but she didn't care about Zhuge Yu, who was really injured: "By the way, Zhuge Yu, that person seemed to be going in the direction of Zhenbei Prince's Mansion just now."

Zhuge Yu stared and said: "Yes." Moreover, there was Kashiqing's royal family totem on the saddle, which seemed to be sent by the second uncle, so he didn't care about the other party's recklessness.

Shui Linglong said again: "Then why didn't he say hello to you? This is the carriage of Prince Zhenbei's mansion, there is a sign outside it." In fact, she wanted to ask, what happened, that the other party ran in such a hurry?
Zhuge Yu touched the bridge of his nose, and exhaled a relaxed tone: "Who can see so clearly at night?"

The carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion, Zhuge Yu's back was in burning pain, but he didn't move, he just said in the usual tone: "Go back by yourself, I won't let you in."

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, that's okay, she couldn't help it if he sent her off anyway.Shui Linglong smiled, turned around and got off the carriage.

In the room, Aunt Feng was trying on the wedding dress she made for Shui Lingyu. Aunt Feng said happily: "Governor Jiang is a bit older, but he doesn't look old, and his official position is high. You married to be a concubine. Wife, this is much better than being a concubine to a concubine." It was Qin Zhixiao!
A trace of impatience flashed in Shui Lingyu's eyes, Aunt Feng had babbled about it countless times, her ears were calloused, who would want others to finally expose their own scars?That was a bloody lesson and shame!

"Is the color of this dress too bright?" Aunt Feng completely ignored her words!

Aunt Feng smiled embarrassingly: "Then...the servant girl will redo it tomorrow with a different color."

Shui Lingyu took off the wedding dress, and casually threw it to Aunt Feng, with a slight arc of lips curled up, "No need, I ordered the wedding dress for the First Embroidery House."

The No. [-] Embroidery Building is the best embroidery building in the capital, and a single piece of clothing costs hundreds of taels of silver, let alone a wedding dress with complicated workmanship?I'm afraid it's... expensive!Where did Shui Lingyu get the money from?Aunt Feng looked at Shui Lingyu suspiciously.

Shui Lingyu met Aunt Feng's gaze from the bronze mirror, and said calmly: "I am Aunt Tong's daughter!"

Aunt Feng's heart trembled, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes: "You...what are you talking about? How could you be Aunt Tong's daughter?"

Shui Lingyu turned around and stared fixedly at Aunt Feng's pale face, "Shui Minhui and I were born in the same year, the same month, the same day, you came up with a civet cat to replace the prince, swapping Shui Minhui and me, and exchanging the rightful My happiness was given to Shui Minhui. Now, you plan to continue to use me to give your little daughter a bright future and a strong backer, right?"

Aunt Feng was too stunned to speak, how did she know Shui Lingyu?

"Not everyone is a fool, only you are smart." Shui Lingyu turned around indifferently, no longer looking at her.Auntie Feng treated her worse than Shui Lingqing. She treated Shui Lingqing as the youngest, so she got more favors, but she couldn't understand what happened afterward.Of course, she dared to speak out so bluntly because she was confident now.

Aunt Feng was holding the wedding dress, her hands were trembling with grief, she admitted that she had selfish intentions, if she didn't put her son under the old lady's lap, the son would not grow up at all!Isn't the third young master a living example?Shui Lingyu was not her own, and she had indeed lost a lot of sincerity in treating her, but the moment she heard that she was married, she just realized that she had raised her for so many years...with affection!
Shui Lingyu no longer believed in her, and when she watched her cry, she only thought that she was just putting on a show. The governor's wife, with such a noble status, there are many people who can give Shui Lingqing a lot.But why should she give Shui Lingyu Shui Lingyu?
"Miss San, Governor Jiang is here to see you!" Lu'er happily reported at the door, "I said I was discussing with you the furnishings of the Governor's Mansion's new house, and the master agreed."

Shui Hangge let people in, Shui Lingyu had no reason not to meet him, and this was not the first time, Shui Lingyu touched the tassel on the top of her head, and said lightly: "I don't have time to entertain Aunt Feng, Aunt Feng Please come back."

Aunt Feng blessed her body: "The servant girl will leave." The moment she turned around, a flash of despair flashed in her eyes.

Governor Jiang quickly entered the bedroom, and Lu'er took the maids out. The moment the door closed, Governor Jiang hugged Shui Lingyu without saying a word, and kissed Shui Lingyu on the table: "Be careful, did you miss me?"

Shui Lingyu smiled sweetly and put her arms around his neck: "Thinking about it makes my heart ache."

Governor Jiang quickly took off the clothes of the two of them, and then did that to her on the table.

These days, she and Governor Jiang secretly turned up and down. At first, she disliked him as an old man, but because of her status, she dared not refuse. Gradually, she tasted joy from Governor Jiang's skillful skills and sharp strikes.Even if Governor Jiang doesn't come for two days, she will still think about it.

Governor Jiang loves Shui Lingyu's body very much. This woman is naturally charming. At first glance, she doesn't look particularly outstanding, but he can't put it down with every look and every movement on the bed!
After finishing, Shui Lingyu ordered Lu'er to bring hot water, while she waited for Governor Jiang to bathe and change clothes. Seeing her naked body, Governor Jiang asked her again in the water.

"Is Shuihangge treating you well?" After getting dressed, Governor Jiang asked while sitting on the soft couch with Shui Lingyu in his arms.

Shui Lingyu lacked paternal love since she was a child, and being held in the arms of Governor Jiang like a child, she had a vague sense of security, especially this man was so strong that even Shui Hangge had to flatter her, Shui Lingyu She smiled softly and said: "Very good, I ordered people to send me a lot of bird's nest and ginseng to nourish my body, and the amount of money has also increased by five taels."

"Five taels? Huh!" Governor Jiang took out a thick stack of bank notes from his arms and threw them on the soft couch. The action of "throwing" made Shui Lingyu feel like his self-esteem was being trampled on, but his next move What she said made her slightly chilly heart warm again, "Take it, buy whatever you want, I told Shui Hangge, you can go out whenever you want, and I will also let you buy a special carriage. The people are ready, and there are two other guards from the Governor's Mansion, and they will live in the outer courtyard of your Shangshu Mansion before you get married."

Shui Lingyu's vanity was greatly satisfied: "I have accepted the carriage and guards, but this silver ticket is too...too much..."

Governor Jiang looked at her timid and innocent appearance and thought she was cute: "The money I earn has to be spent by someone, so don't save it for me, huh?"

"En." Shui Lingyu nodded obediently.

Not as old-fashioned as an ordinary concubine, nor as charming as a tricky concubine, very fresh and cute, Governor Jiang liked her more and more, and pressed her on the soft couch to tease her for a long time, which made Shui Lingyu giggle , and even accidentally kicked him, Shui Lingyu was scared to death, but he smiled instead of anger: "You reward those bird's nests and ginseng to the servants, and I will send someone to bring you blood swallows and thousand-year-old ginseng later. "

Shui Lingyu put her arms around his waist and closed her eyes. At this moment, she was really glad that she chose a man who is capable, status, status, mature, and understands tolerance and pampering her: "How can you How many days will you stay in the capital?"

Governor Jiang said: "When the plan for the south water to fall to the west is finalized, I should return to the governor's mansion in Jiangnan. I guess it will only be this month."

Shui Lingyu burst into tears.

Governor Jiang nodded her nose: "If you want, I can also advance the wedding date."

Shui Lingyu raised her head and looked at him with teary eyes: "Really?"

Governor Jiang chuckled: "You want to marry me so much?"

Shui Lingyu said softly: "You treat me better than they all treat me, so I naturally want to marry you."

Governor Jiang sighed. The concubine's life is indeed hard. Seeing her shabby boudoir, he knew it. He held up her teary face and said, "Okay, this time you will come with me."

Shui Linglong was practicing calligraphy in the room, thinking in her mind whether Xun Feng had noticed that she had planned the prince's alienation from him, and if he had noticed, how would he fight back?

At this moment, Zhi Fan opened the curtain and came in. Her face was as pale as wax paper, but she had learned the lesson from her reckless behavior last time. She collected herself, steadied her footsteps, and said in a softer voice: "Miss, something happened to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion." .”

Shui Linglong wrote the word "Thinking" and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhifan swallowed his saliva: "An anti-God faction in Kashgar launched a riot and maliciously massacred a village with a population of 500. No one survived. The patriarch sent troops to suppress them and was seriously injured. Kashgar has no leader. Burning, killing and looting happened frequently. , King Zhenbei has requested the imperial decree, and has already embarked on the journey to Kashgar to celebrate!"

Shui Linglong's eyebrows twitched, what a cruel thug!She looked at Zhi Fan and found that she hadn't finished speaking, and said, "What else? Make it clear at once!"
