After the subjugation of the country, she became the favorite concubine of the enemy

The snow on the path has been cleared by the sweeping eunuch, but there is still a lot of snow on some paths that are rarely walked by. At this time, Ling Xiche was dragged by Shen Chen to step on the snow until he walked to a place where there were no people. Shen Chen let him go.

Ling Xiche lifted the hem of the skirt and shook her toes, feeling that the satin upper was a little wet.

"In the future, if someone makes things difficult for you, you should immediately send someone to notify me, no matter who it is, even the queen mother."

Ling Xiche chuckled, "What you said just now is really exaggerated. Without me, you will not enter the harem for the rest of your life. The Queen Mother really believed it."

Shen Chen looked at Ling Xiche, he was more and more comfortable by his side now, he didn't always have a cold face like in the beginning, he felt lifeless all over his body, now he gradually smiled more.

"The methods of the harem are more sinister than the battlefield. I cherish talents, and I am afraid that you will not be able to withstand their methods."

Ling Xiche turned to look at Shen Chen, "I misunderstood you before, and now I know the reason why you want to keep me. You have not broken your promise, and you have not treated Ye Kingdom's original prince badly, and Yuanyuan is also doing well, so, I You can do it now, come on."

"Come what?"

Ling Xiche smiled lightly, "What you want me to do, come on."

"you sure?"

"Okay, come on."

Shen Chen looked at Ling Xiche who was shrouded in the halo of the sun, his mind was shaken, and he couldn't help but stepped forward to wrap his arms around his waist.

Ling Xiche was puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Shen Chen coughed lightly and withdrew his hand, "Just now, two court ladies walked by behind you, pretending."

Ling Xiche turned around to look, but saw nothing.

"Don't look, go away."

Ling Xiche turned around and continued, "Tell me, if you encounter any difficulties and want me to offer advice, I can give it a try."

A little bit of disappointment flashed across Shen Chen's eyes, but after thinking about it, this is already a big breakthrough in the relationship between the two of them, and he should be happy. Besides, there is something that he actually thought about asking him.

"Then I'll just say it straight. After taking over Ye Kingdom, I knew how much the people hated me, so I forgave them and reduced their corvees and taxes. In the beginning, their hatred for Duan Kingdom was indeed true. It has been alleviated. According to reports from local spies, some people have even begun to feel that life is better than before, which is due to my credit. But not long after, public grievances resumed, and small riots occurred almost simultaneously in many places, very similar to Someone is secretly manipulating it."

Ling Xiche thought while listening, "Then do you have someone to suspect?"

"The King of Jin suspects that it is the Xu family, and I also think it is very likely that it is them. As long as Yedi is not stable, then I will still have to rely on General Xu Guang, and I cannot take away the military power in his hands. But I want to hear your opinion now."

Ling Xiche shook his head, "It won't be the Xu family. The Xu family has dominated the country for decades. The queens of these generations are all Xu's daughters, and the greatest military power is also in Xu's hands, but whether it is military power, It is still necessary for the daughter to be the queen. What the Xu family wants is nothing more than the long-term honor of the Xu family, but this honor is based on the long-term stability of the Duan country. The people's hearts are the foundation of the country. It's not beneficial. Besides, arousing the hatred of the people of Ye Kingdom towards you will not suppress your prestige in Duan Kingdom, this move seems like a harmless temptation."

"How can there be no benefits? If the riots continue, then I need someone who can suppress them, so that I can't let go of Xu Guang's military power. Isn't this what they want?"

Ling Xiche glanced at Shen Chen indifferently. Although it was still like a calm lake, there was finally a sharpness in his eyes that had not been seen for a long time.

"If there is no riot, can His Majesty cut off the Xu family's military power at will?"

With this question, Shen Chen fell silent.

Indeed, even if the weather is calm, there are uncles and generals in the Xu family court, and the empress dowager and concubine in the harem. The military power that I can currently divide from them is the one that was given to Shen Yu not long ago. Only those.

"Then who do you think it is?"

Ling Xiche thought for a moment.

"Just based on your few words, I can't be completely sure, but I think it may have something to do with Zhaoguo."

"Zhaoguo? But the new emperor of Zhaoguo, Yu Chirui, is a man of success. He concentrates on developing business and neglecting military affairs. It may not be a problem to maintain the prosperity of Zhaoguo, but he is not a person with a grand plan."

Ling Xiche smiled, and looked at Shen Chen with sharper eyes.

Although he was wearing pink now, Shen Chen felt as if the light he saw on him ten years ago appeared on him again.

"Shen Chen, do you know what your biggest shortcoming is?"

"What do you think."

"Conceited. Don't underestimate your opponent, don't be too conceited, otherwise, if you make a mistake, you will be doomed."

Shen Chen chuckled, "With you here, I shouldn't be doomed, right?"

Ling Xiche looked at the sky from a distance, and said softly, "With me here, Ye Kingdom is still gone. In fact, in this world, no matter who is there or not, nothing can stop the original track, and everything will develop according to the plan. right?"

"maybe."

"By the way, Zhao Kingdom sent you a woman a few years ago, is she in your harem now? Who is it?"

"I canonized her as Concubine Shu."

Ling Xiche recalled the memory of Concubine Shu, she seemed to be in the concubine camp, but since it was sent by Zhao Guo, then what she did must be beneficial to Zhao Guo, and those who followed the concubine what is the reason?Just relying on the big tree to protect yourself?

Jin Wangfu.

When Shen Yu heard that the instigator had been caught, he hurried over, but when he arrived, he only saw a dead body on the ground.

"How do you take care of it? How can such an important survivor let him die like this?"

The person in charge pleaded guilty and said, "My lord, please forgive me. We are also afraid that if it is a dead waiter, he has been under strict supervision. His mouth has been stuffed with a cloth. Even if the poison is hidden in his teeth, he will not have a chance to take the poison. We didn't expect that he would actually apply the medicine on the tip of his nails. Wu Zuo has just tested it, and it is a poison that will kill soon after entering the blood, and this poison should come from southern Xinjiang."

Shen Yu clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the wooden stake next to him.

"What about the clues? Are there any useful clues on him?"

The other party took out a small piece of broken silver, "This ingot seems to have printed characters, it should be official silver, and my subordinates will immediately check which official bank it is."

Shen Yu looked at the two scribbles on the official silver, Xu, the word Xu has those two scribbles.

"There's no need to check, the king already knows."

In the palace, Concubine Qi Shu was in her own Shuhua Palace, leaning against the window thinking of her old friend, when a carrier pigeon flew over and landed by her window, the pigeon's leg was still tied with a note.

Concubine Qi Shu looked around, she was the only one at the moment, so she relievedly removed the letter from the pigeon's leg, fed the pigeon some food and water, and let it fly.

Concubine Qi Shu confirmed again that there was indeed no one around, so she opened the note.

The note said: If you lead the noble concubine to attack Concubine Mei, if you lose both, you will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Concubine Qi Shu looked at each word carefully after reading the note, looking at the familiar strokes of each word, with a happy smile on her face.Concubine Shu read it several times, gently rubbing the familiar brushstrokes. After a long time, she reluctantly turned on the charcoal stove and threw the note in until she saw every word on the note turned into ashes. Just put the lid back on.
