After Lei Xiao spent a while at Concubine Li's place, he gradually felt a little tired, even if the skill was high, it was impossible to renovate it day by day, after the stimulation, people's hearts inevitably felt empty, coupled with the euphemistic advice of the imperial doctor on the side, he gradually restrained his physical desires, and turned to pay attention to spiritual communication.

When it comes to spiritual exchanges, he won't go to Zisu, because they are too familiar with each other, and the other party's preferences are well known, and there is no special topic. After some exclusion, Concubine Shu became the best choice, and she finally survived until Yunkai saw the moon.

For Concubine Shu, in addition to her relatives at home, Lei Xiao is probably the person she is most familiar with. After Lei Xiao ascended the throne, her father spent a lot of effort to collect Lei Xiao's preferences everywhere, and then trained his daughter to imitate Lei Xiao's calligraphy style, recite Lei Xiao's favorite articles, and practice Lei Xiao's favorite paintings. When choosing a concubine that day, her performance can be said to be in line with Lei Xiao's preferences, which was one of the factors in her final selection.

Concubine Shu's temperament is cold, and she doesn't like to deal with people on weekdays, and most talented women are a little temperamental. For Lei Xiao, she talked with him about poetry and painting, played chess, and met Lei Xiao's appetite everywhere, which made Lei Xiao feel like he hated to see each other, but in the face of Lei Xiao's grace, she would never put her joy on her face like Concubine Li, she was still reserved, unless Lei Xiao thought of a special way to please her, she would occasionally smile. Lei Xiao is not unaware of this trick of wanting to catch and indulge, but for such a talented and beautiful woman, Lei Xiao is willing to tolerate her high and cold arrogance, and is also willing to spend some effort to make her laugh, which can also find some fun.

When Concubine Shu and Lei Xiaoqin sang together, Xiyan was anxious day by day. I heard that my sister was sick with longing, so my mother made an exception and went to Prince Gong's Mansion to take care of it. I also heard that the war between Prince Gong and the Zhou State was extremely difficult, and there was a shortage of baggage.

She couldn't help it.

Gold leaf, silver, agate, jade, Xiyan took out the contents of the box, made a bed, and stared at them in a daze. She is not stingy with money, and she has always been generous to the palace maids and eunuchs, and thanks to this, as long as she wants to know, there is still some news. But after I know it, it's a lot of suffering.

She doesn't have a strong family background, nor does she have a brother and a half brother, only a father who hides behind stacks of books and a sensitive and delicate sister. What about the king? If he really heard her inner words, he was afraid that he would be bored even to look at her.

She wanted to cry because of such a rambling sense of powerlessness. But she couldn't cry, tears were too extravagant for her to waste. Thinking like this, she slowly lowered her body, and her whole body fell on the bed full of gold and silver jewelry, she clenched tightly with her hands, and pressed heavily with her body, the pain caused by these angular or rounded mundane things was real, and only pain could calm her inner restlessness. Xiyan closed his eyes, and his previously carefree face was full of gloom.

Yan Tianmu walked in silently and without regret. He didn't say anything. She has lost a lot of weight, and the amount of food has decreased significantly recently, and the palace maids thought that she was recovering from illness and had no intention of eating, but he was in the dark, but he saw her occasional loss of mind and anxiety clearly.

Xiyan opened his eyes, did not move, and looked at him standing by the door in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Yan Tianmu asked when she saw that she didn't let herself go, but stared.

She didn't speak, she still looked at him. The eyes are complex, the same as her heart. Yan Tianmu saw that she was weird, so he walked over, sat in front of the bed, and pulled her up.

His face flushed. Yan Tianmu pulled her in front of him, held her face, and looked at it carefully, "Love money so much?" he quipped, deliberately ignoring the sorrow in her eyes.

She took his hand off his face, "The king is asleep?"

"Yes. He raised an eyebrow, a smile in his eyes, "How else would I be here?" ”

"I thought you were fearless. She smiled faintly and moved back without leaving a trace.

"Like I thought you were carefree?" he asked rhetorically.

Sunset avoided his inquiring gaze and made the appearance of packing up.

Yan Tianmu grabbed her arm and didn't let her move.

"For Princess Gong?" Yan Tianmu asked, "I'll send someone to help you investigate?"

"Don't. Xi Yan hurriedly refused. "Don't. ”

"Why? Aren't you worried?"

"You still don't interfere in my affairs. Xi Yan looked at him.

"What's the matter, afraid of getting into trouble?" Yan Tianmu asked knowingly.

"Aren't you afraid?" Xiyan looked at him.

"I'm afraid. Yan Tianmu replied simply, "But I'm willing." He looked at Xiyan affectionately, "I don't want to see you anxious, look at you haggard, you should always be happy." ”

"Don't waste time on me, it's simply impossible for us. Xiyan shattered his intoxication and pointed out this fact.

"Trust me, nothing is impossible. Yan Tianmu said softly.

Xiyan looked at him in a daze, with a look of fear in his eyes.

Although he had been prepared, Zhou Guo's strength still made Lei Yao dare not underestimate him. According to the report of the spies in the Zhou State, only a small part of the facts were mentioned in the previous recital, and the current Zhou State is not only strong and strong, but also has a lot of allies gathered behind it, and the small countries around Anguo, those that have been destroyed or have not yet been conquered, are basically within this alliance. Former princes and nobles who fled, or monarchs who were at war with Anguo, all chose Anguo's rivals. The old general who used to guard here, although he was sick in bed, his control was still strong, and in the group web they weaved from top to bottom, there was no place for outsiders to intervene. Under the respect, it is negligent cooperation. The only thing Lei Yao could rely on the most was the subordinates he brought from Beijing. Zhou first built a defense around himself, and then began a wheel war, pouring the strength of the country, taking turns to send troops to confront Anguo without interruption, for a period of time, in order to avoid greater casualties and preserve strength, Anguo can only defend passively. On the one hand, Lei Yao tried his best to obtain the temporary cooperation of the old general, and on the other hand, he studied the cracking strategy. The weather in the north is bad, sometimes the wind and sand are blowing, sometimes the heat is unbearable, the temperature is high during the day, and the night is very cold.
