Ning Chen Ling Xiao

After half a month in May, Zhu Yu's secret letter was sent almost every day. Ling Xiao frowned slightly when he saw the news from the imperial city. Things were a little out of control.

"Du Shubo is in prison..."

"Jin Zhuuguo is in prison..."

"Xu Guang and Cang Pei are in prison..."

"The emperor can't sleep at night now, and ordered people to burn benzoin day and night in Chengqian Palace. Every time he fell asleep, he would be awakened by nightmares, sweating profusely..."

"Mr. Xiangguo, please close the Xuandemen case as soon as possible. He was reprimanded by the emperor and the first-class duke was cut..."

"There have been rumors in the imperial city that the big change in temperament today is caused by being haunted by ghosts..."

Ling Xiao softly brows, Zhu Yu's move is too ruthless, in the current state of the emperor, I am afraid he can do anything, but this is not what Ling Xiao wants, Ling Xiao only wants his life, but obviously Zhu Yu will Not satisfied with taking his life as simple as that, he wanted the emperor to die in an ugly, embarrassing death.

The emperor thought so hard to kill so many people to get into this position. He should have a lot of ambitions. Even if Zhu Yu wants him to have any ambitions, he can't show it. Ling Xiao is not soft-hearted, but he still sent someone to send it to Zhu Yu The message passed, just one sentence: "Leave me some people."

But a few days later, the people Zhu Yu sent him wrote back, and there was only one sentence: "When the first emperor rebelled, there were less than a hundred people under his command, but he still achieved great things. How can Wushuang compare to the former emperor?"

Ling Xiao sighed softly: Naturally, it is not comparable...

Ling Xiao knew that Zhu Yu hated him to the core, so he didn't worry about it any more. He just made a list for Zhu Yu's people to take back to the imperial city, and told him to take care of the people here. The spies agreed, and Zhu Yu Afterwards, he didn't reply. Ling Xiao knew that he had restrained himself a little. The world would belong to Chu Yifeng in the future. Ling Xiao forbade Zhu Yu to remove all capable ministers for revenge. At that time, only the few scholars promoted by the emperor would be left in the court. What's the matter? !

"What are you doing?" Chu Yifeng came back from the army in the morning, still excited, and sat beside Ling Xiao and said with a smile, "Those craftsmen are very good, and the bed crossbows they make are becoming more and more exquisite, and now the loss of morality has been improved." Yes, it's true..."

Ling Xiao put down the book and embraced Chu Yifeng, and Chu Yifeng followed him to lean on Ling Xiao's lap, and said with a smile, "You didn't see that, the ballista is powerful when it's set there, it's so beautiful."

"How many do we have after this batch is made?" Seeing that Chu Yifeng's hair was combed a little tight today, Ling Xiao took off the white jade hairpin from his head, spread his hair out, and combed it slowly with his fingers. , slender and strong fingers slid into the hair, and gently massaged Chu Yifeng's scalp. Chu Yifeng squinted his eyes enjoying the slightly painful and comfortable feeling after loosening his hair. Ling Xiao frowned slightly: "Who gave this morning?" Your hair?"

Chu Yifeng didn't care too much: "Qing Yi combed it, a total of... 130 frames."

Ling Xiao nodded: "This is enough. This kind of heavy crossbow is not used much. It is enough to place a row in front of the formation. You can cast more arrows."

"En." Chu Yifeng nodded, "Listen to you, by the way, are you ready for Hua Xuanxin to ask to build the paddock?"

Ling Xiao hummed: "Yesterday it was right. It was the Swallow Forest we went to last time. There are no people there, and the forest is also suitable for stocking some prey. I think it is quite suitable."

"Building a paddock is not a small amount of money." Chu Yifeng hesitated, "The Swallow Forest is not small, so..."

Ling Xiao stroked Chu Yifeng's brows to make him close his eyes, rubbed his temples lightly with his fingers, and said, "It doesn't cost much, and there is not even a paddock in the northern fief, is it suitable? You like hunting again, what is this... ...Besides, the Swallow Forest is quite close to our residence, so we don’t need to build a palace, and it doesn’t cost much.”

Chu Yifeng chuckled: "Hua Xuanxin is a general, but he knows how to do these things to please people..."

Ling Xiao smiled and said nothing, so he would not admit that Hua Xuanxin proposed this matter after he hinted at it. Those in positions of power cannot favor these people, but it is absolutely impossible to be without these people around them. Many things cannot be said by themselves. It is only appropriate to say it through their mouths.

Ling Xiao chuckled: "But the name hasn't been decided yet, I'm waiting for you to come up with a good name."

"Hmm... Swallow Forest..." Chu Yifeng thought for a long time, and then said hi: "If you can't think of it, let's go to the Swallow Paddock."

"it is good."

Ling Xiao massaged Chu Yifeng for a while to make him sit up, and he didn't need a comb or hairpin, just combed his hair loosely with his hands and tied it into a ponytail, and said with a smile, "It's done, I'm even doing the girl's work now."

"Then I'll do it for you too!" Chu Yifeng said excitedly, "Come on... rubbing is so comfortable..."

Ling Xiao laughed, but he had no choice but to loosen his hair and let Chu Yifeng ravage it. Chu Yifeng started lightly, as if he was afraid of hurting Ling Xiao, he rubbed slowly, and finally tied it up for Ling Xiao. He didn't want to go out with such a hair, so he took it off and combed it again.

"Go to the yard for a while." Chu Yifeng smiled, "I asked someone to make two sets of poles, let's go fishing.

Ling Xiao had no objection, so he got up, put on his robe, and went to the yard with Chu Yifeng, and said to Bihe while Chu Yifeng was looking for fish and food: "Don't let Qingyi comb the prince's hair in the future, her hands are too heavy, so you should do it."

Bi He nodded quickly: "Yes." After finishing speaking, she looked at Ling Xiao's face and felt relieved knowing that he had no intention of punishing Qingyi. went.

A few days later, Zhu Yu sent another secret report: the emperor intends to establish a reserve.

Ling Xiao handed the secret letter to Qin Long: "What do you think?"

Qin Long looked at it, and said in thought: "Li Chu must be Li Hui Wang, the emperor probably also felt that his health is not good, or... Let Zhu Yu directly end Hui Wang?"

Ling Xiao shook his head and smiled: "No, no, revenge doesn't mean killing the enemy. After killing him, he won't be able to experience any pain. It's too cheap...Revenge means making him suffer continuously until his mistakes can be repaid. ..."

Ling Xiao caressed the jade pendant on his waist in a daze, and said after a while: "Don't try to stop it deliberately, just let nature take its course, and do whatever you want."

"Master!" Qin Long was a little anxious, "Based on Mr. Zhu Yu's behavior, it won't take long... When King Hui takes the throne, how can there be a place for the prince and the master?!"

Ling Xiao didn't care too much, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I've already left behind. Now that I do it, the emperor will be more wary of the prince. It's better to let him come. King Hui is just relying on the name of the eldest son. Feng'er is also a concubine and has more military achievements than him, I want to see if the emperor can persuade the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, but he can also convince the people of the world." The more unpopular they are, the more beneficial it will be for Chu Yifeng to rise to the top in the future, don't worry.

After all, Qin Long is not as stable as Ling Xiao. He wanted to say something, but he nodded: "Yes, I will write back to Shi Pei right away. What else do you want to explain, master?"

Ling Xiao thought for a while, and said for a long time: "Let Shi Pei go and tell the old master that it is already summer, and the heat in the imperial city is unbearable, so it is better to go out for a walk. I have also built a mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. My aunt knows about it." If you have nothing to do with your family, you can go to the south of the Yangtze River, for fun."

Qin Long understood, nodded, and said again: "Then... what about the second miss? The second miss is pregnant now, and she is a member of the Shi family, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient to move..."

"Second Miss, don't worry." Ling Xiao chuckled, "They can't touch the Shi family."

Qin Long nodded and went.

A few days later, the spies from the imperial city came back with a message from Old Master Ling: Do whatever you want, and don’t worry about your family. The Ling family has stood in the imperial city for more than a hundred years, and they won’t be overwhelmed by this little turmoil.

Ling Xiao smiled, the old man is really powerful.

……

"Why do I always hear..." Chu Yifeng thought for a while and didn't know what to say, he hesitated and said, "Some people say that the father is not well now? It is said that... he was haunted by some ghost."

Ling Xiao extinguished half of the candles in the outside room, turned around the flower screen and walked to the inside room, got on the bed and put down the bed curtain, and said with a smile: "Who wants to lose his head, dare to say that the emperor is not in good health? Still a ghost , do you believe it?"

Chu Yifeng shook his head: "I know you are well informed, but do you know the details?"

Ling Xiao laughed: "You're so easy to coax, I don't know whoever says it, just believe it, think about it, the imperial doctors who serve the emperor in the palace are all alone, and only the emperor and queen know the prescriptions and medicines they usually write. Good or bad, can it be passed on?"

Chu Yifeng thought for a while: "It's also..."

"Think about it again, if it's really bad, how can you let people talk nonsense like that?" Ling Xiao chuckled, "It's even more absurd to talk about ghosts, I think our family is too loose, relying on Dare to say such things as Tiangao Emperoryuan, I have to..."

"Don't!" Chu Yifeng hurriedly took Ling Xiao's hand and said, "We brought most of the people in the mansion from the imperial city. They are all little girls. Don't punish them anymore. I just don't believe it."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao aroused Fengyan even more, and said lightly: "You feel sorry for them..."

Chu Yifeng knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he looked at Ling Xiao, and said in a low voice, "Don't show your face... I feel uncomfortable seeing you like this."

Ling Xiao couldn't help laughing: "Just kidding, it's okay, let's not talk about big things." Chu Yifeng smiled and approached Gong Gong to find a more comfortable position, Ling Xiao doted on him She hugged Chu Yifeng tightly, kissed his brow lightly, and said softly: "It's my fault, what are you doing to tease you..."

Chu Yifeng smiled, feeling that Ling Xiao's gentle touch on his back felt extremely comfortable, and squinted his eyes and said: "When I came back from the army this year, I went to the Swallow Paddock to have a look, and it looked a little better."

Ling Xiao hummed, and said with a smile: "I asked someone to buy some deer and put them in. When it's repaired, I'll go hunting with you."

"Yeah." Chu Yifeng just liked this, and talked to Ling Xiao for a long time, and finally fell asleep unconsciously while talking...

Ling Xiao gently propped up his upper body to tuck the quilt up for Chu Yifeng, and adjusted his sleeping position under the dim light. Qin Long asked himself before that the north is not a place to stay for a long time. Laughed and said nothing.

The Northland is naturally not a place to stay for a long time, but Ling Xiao thinks a little further. He wants to fight for the throne for Chu Yifeng, but it doesn't mean he will be the emperor for the rest of his life. At that time, everything in the Northland will still belong to Chu Yifeng. That's it.

Ling Xiao looked at Chu Yifeng's sleeping face and chuckled, even if Chu Yifeng only stayed for a few days, why not spend a lot of money for him?
