In the Chen Mansion at night, Li Yu muttered with his hands behind his back: "In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Zhou Dynasty, if Li Hongji inherits the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it will be much trickier than me......

When Zhou Xian heard this, a gentle smile appeared in his clear and beautiful eyes, and he gently leaned on Li Yu's back and said softly: "Husband's foresight is not comparable to Li Hongji. ”

Li Yu sighed again, unable to hide his sorrow. is not in front of people, but this sigh is like from the bottom of my heart.

Zhou Xian was busy comforting him gently, as gentle as water, and he only wanted to exude it in front of this man.

Zhou Xian has read history books since he was a child, and has long been familiar with the power and intrigues of the royal family and the family; She doesn't know the fireworks in the world, but she is very familiar with the games between the nobles and nobles, and her father was like a fish in water in a high position. She is also a very resilient woman, proficient in dance rhythm, like calligraphy, without backbone and soulless...... To practice a good dance, to be proficient in any skill, it is impossible not to endure hardship, and the sweat she pays is no less than those generals of the family.

But in front of Li Yu, she is unwilling to show herself too strong, she loves to appreciate her man's ambition, talent, and strength, and is willing to be cared for and cared for by him behind his back.

What could be better than a woman's desire than to be pampered by a powerful man's sincerity and obedience? That kind of indulgence, unforgettable, thousands of true feelings, and strong feelings made Zhou Xian feel like a glutton, and felt that everything was worth it.

"Your cousin is not very reliable." Li Yu shook his head and said, "I'll go back to the Zhou Dynasty Rite Hall tomorrow." ”

"Well, the concubine listens to the husband." Zhou Xian said softly, and said coquettishly, "Chen Jiali was also famous back then, and she was a very high-spirited person, but she couldn't compare to me in anything, and it was normal for women to be small-minded and a little jealous. Husband, don't worry about the little girl. ”

Li Yu whispered: "No matter what, now people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat; The Zhou Dynasty would not help Li Hongji for no reason, but they didn't value Li Hongji too much, and what they did was just a word from the powerful. Chen Jiali and Guo Shao have a relationship, don't offend. ”

Zhou Xian looked at Li Yu's worried appearance, and his heart gave birth to all kinds of sympathy and love, and the melancholy and talented man was so poetic and picturesque.

"I'm tired." Li Yu sat on the edge of the bed.

The pampered Zhou Xian willingly served him like a slave and untied his clothes and went to bed.

However, as soon as Li Yu got into bed, he turned sideways to face inside, and turned his back to Zhou Xian without saying a word. Zhou Xian didn't get angry when he saw this, but said softly like a child: "Whatever your husband wants, I'm willing to do it for you." ”

Li Yu's tone suddenly became cold: "I want power!" ”

There was a hint of forbearance in his cold tone. Zhou Xian was not afraid, and felt more and more sorry for him......

She remembered the coup d'état not long ago, Li Hongji actually led his troops directly into the palace, Li Yu was in the palace at that time, and was injured by Li Hongji's subordinates in the chaos and almost died. His life was saved, but he became a eunuch...... This is too cruel to Li Yu! Zhou Xian understood what it was like for a man to become like this, and felt that he was even more sad than Li Yu, such a thing not only hurt his body, but mainly hurt his face and dignity as a man!

A man who is truly talented and talented must have great ambitions. Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty was famous all over the world when he was alive, but he was never satisfied with his literary talents, ambitions and poetry, and always assisted the king to clarify the universe and save the common people as his own responsibility...... Only left a hundred poems about fighting wine, how could Li Bai not feel sorry for himself?

Zhou Xian knows Li Yu, and Li Yu is also such a person. But the physical damage has greatly hit his self-esteem and mind, and now what else can he pursue except power?

So even if Li Yu is indifferent to her at this time, it can only arouse her greater sympathy.

She tried her best to let Li Yu regain her husband's self-esteem and take care of his fragile heart everywhere. For example, during the day today, he deliberately found Chen Jiali to be jealous, so that Li Yu could feel the dignity of being a man...... Seeing beautiful women jealous of him, he will probably be secretly happy. Zhou Xian was well versed in the minds of these aristocratic men.

At this moment, Li Yu suddenly turned around and said sadly and gently: "Emperor E's country is just in the middle of the year, but I can't give you anything......"

He reached out to hold Zhou Xian's jade hand with pity, and the fingers of the two were entangled, and the ten fingers were close together.

Zhou Xian's heart suddenly became sour and sweet, and the tenderness was like a warm current, reaching her heart from her fingers. She said in her heart: My husband himself is so uncomfortable, but he still treats me like this, it is really not easy for him, he has to cherish himself more and use more affection to do it?

"Husband......" Zhou Xian's little bird leaned on him like a person, and was moved to tears, "What I want is my husband's heart, and such mundane things don't matter much, it's okay." ”

"Is it true that Emperor E won't change his mind?" Li Yu is still suspicious.

Zhou Xian's tone was firm: "I will never change my mind because of such things, no matter what kind of person you become, you are the most powerful husband in my heart." The husband is so talented, don't you understand what women really value? ”

"What's important?" Li Yu hurriedly asked.

"Heart, and ......affection," Zhou Xian said gently, "In comparison, the things in the room are not worth mentioning at all...... Actually, I was in a lot of pain at first, and then I was disgusted. If it weren't for my husband's pleasure, I wouldn't have been interested. ”

Li Yu said: "Other women seem to enjoy it. ”

Zhou Xian said disapprerovingly: "Because they are frivolous and lewd lowly women!" My mother has warned me a thousand times since I was a child, how lowly those water-based poplar women are! I will never become such a layman, my heart is only loyal to one man, a real husband with a strong heart, and that is you, husband. ”

Li Yu still asked uneasily: "Are you telling the truth, isn't it to please me?" ”

The husband has become more and more suspicious recently, but Zhou Xian didn't care, she said seriously: "It's all the truth, how can I bear to deceive my husband, it's too late for me to hurt you...... Husband, I am willing to do anything for you. ”

Li Yu clenched Zhou Xian's hand after hearing this, and his tone suddenly became eager: "Then you must help me come up with ideas, I want to be the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty!" Do whatever it takes! He may feel that his desire for power is too heavy, and he said at the moment, "Today's Southern Tang Dynasty can only defend and wait for a good opportunity, Li Hongji is the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the foundation will be destroyed faster." I am helping the Li family ancestors, and the country can only be kept in my hands! ”

"Husband, you are already very powerful, not much more than Liu Bei of the Eastern Han Dynasty, I believe that you are the most wise person in the Southern Tang Kingdom." Zhou Xian said softly, "Don't look at Li Hongji's temporary ambition, in fact, as long as we survive the current difficulties, we will have won the battle." ”

Zhou Xian has never shown that she is wiser than her husband, and she doesn't want to steal his limelight, she is willing to be in a weak position. Zhou Xian's mind was so meticulous that Li Yu also felt that all the previous plans were come up with by his own wisdom...... Because Li Yu was originally a smart person, as long as Zhou Xian hinted at and guided his thinking, he would figure it out himself.

Li Hongji's approach was originally very clumsy, he not only disappointed the domestic families, ministers, and generals and felt unstable, but also made the northern violent power Da Zhou feel uneasy; Mencius said that the righteous are more helpful and the unrighteous are less helpful. Such an approach would not work in the Southern Tang Kingdom.

Li Yu is the complete opposite, from his father to most of the ministers of the family, he is considered a man who is indifferent to fame and fortune and loyal; Even Li Hongji dared to poison his uncle, but he was unwilling to kill Li Yu (hurting him was just an accident). Li Yu is affectionate about landscapes and literature, and "Zhong Yin" and "Lianfeng Layman" are his images.

Zhou Xian felt: Take a step back, maybe the road is wider.

……

Early the next morning, Zhou Xian was about to say goodbye, but before she could say it, Chen Jiali invited her to talk alone.

In a quiet and elegant piano room, Chen Jiali looked apologetic, her complexion was also very bad, and she said softly: "Cousin...... I thought about it all night last night, and I felt that I should tell you the truth if I didn't help inside or outside. ”

Zhou Xian said with an innocent face: "What's wrong with my cousin, what kind of truth?" ”

"I know you're going to blame me, but ......," Chen Jiali sighed faintly, "but I'm also forced to be helpless." ”

"What the hell is going on, you're in a hurry to kill me!" Zhou Xianjiao urged.

Chen Jiali frowned and said, "On the way to Tokyo, have you ever been seen?" ”

Zhou Xian lowered his head and recalled.

Chen Jiali said: "My cousin's national color and fragrance have reached Guo Shao's ears. He's a lustful man...... Do you know Yang Yue'e in Yangzhou? ”

Zhou Xian said quietly: "I know, before the battle of Huainan, we often exchanged letters and talked about the research of ancient music and law. ”

"The Yang family was dedicated to Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't dare to ask for the beauty that Huainan obtained, and dedicated it to Emperor Zhou, pushing it back and forth. As a result, when Guo Shao saw it, he immediately accepted it in a daze, and he didn't even care about his life. Such people are very bold for the sake of beauty. Chen Jiali frowned and said, "He heard about his cousin's appearance, so he came to persecute me, came up with an idea for me, and used the repatriation of the sixth son as a coercive means to coerce my cousin......"

Chen Jiali cried and said with a sad face: "You will definitely hate me." I also felt that I had gone too far, so I told you the truth. ”

Zhou Xian's heart sank when he heard this, and he suddenly thought: Could it be that she secretly heard the words with her husband in the private room last night? Then she took the opportunity to put the blame on Guo Shao's head?

But it's unlikely, Zhou Xian is also a careful person, and he has paid attention to the wing room, there is another room outside the bedroom, and the doors and windows are closed; It's impossible to hear the sound from the bedroom from so far away. What's more, they speak in a deliberately small voice.

Zhou Xian thought about it before and after, and was skeptical of Chen Jiali's words.

But at this time, he couldn't and didn't want to offend his girlfriend, Zhou Xian hurriedly said kindly: "How can I hate my cousin? If you do that, you can't help it; I'm still taking the risk to tell me that it's too late for me to be grateful. ”

Chen Jiali hurriedly hugged her arm, almost burst into tears, and said softly: "I knew that we would always be good sisters." ”
