Chapter 69: Killing Intent
Look at the imperial concubine again, squinting and eating grapes, leisurely.
"Master, you have to think of a way." The lotus root scratched her ears and cheeks, and couldn't help but say.
"It's good if the freshness is over." Tang Feng said.
The lotus root is not as easy to fool as before, knowing that this is the imperial concubine perfunctory her. But she is a slave after all, and it is useless to be in a hurry.
Two days later, Emperor Xu Kangdi named one of them a nobleman and the other a talented person. Feng Guiren's eye has a tear mole, and he wants to speak, which is very pitiful, and there are two smile vortices at the corner of Feng Cairen's mouth when he laughs, bright and generous. A discerning person will know at a glance that this is by no means a good stubble.
Of course, the imperial concubine, who has always loved to rectify concubines, took action and taught a lesson, but in the blink of an eye, Emperor Xu Kangdi came to make amends for them. Now that they can ask His Majesty to speak for them, the wind in this palace seems to have begun to fall to the other side again. The imperial concubine is very jealous, and she wants to take them out of anger every now and then, but these two are also cotton, and they don't reply in person, and they don't complain behind their backs. So, recently, Xu Kangdi has been turning between these three women, which can be regarded as a happy burden.
"Your Majesty's indulgence in women is by no means a good sign for Great Xia." Wen Ruyi shook the pu fan and sighed.
Feng Xianji sat opposite him, originally drinking under the moon, but gradually became a solo drink.
"Lord Wang, are you distracted again?" Wen Ruyi shook the fan and flapped twice in front of him.
Feng Xianji withdrew his gaze from the moon, looked at him and said, "This moon always reminds this king of a person. ”
"Don't tell, I guess." Wen Ruyi is easy to meditate.
Feng Xianji knew that he was mocking himself, and smiled, and he also felt a little ridiculous. It was the first time since birth that a woman could occupy such a big place in his heart and have such a strong impression.
"Well, this king thinks that she is not unrelated to the original situation. Yesterday, I received a secret letter that Xining sent troops to Beidi, which had already crossed the border. Feng Xianji regained his calm appearance, frowned, and said, "Xining and Beidi have always been the same dog, how can there be internal strife?" I'm afraid there is something strange in it. ”
"Last year, the second prince of Xining ascended the throne, he has always been belligerent, and he didn't dare to harass Daxia, so he could only stretch out his hand to Beidi." Wen Ruyi judged, "Beidi collapsed after being lifted by you a few years ago, and his strength plummeted, and it seems reasonable for the king of Xining to choose it to practice." ”
Feng Xianji's military judgment is extremely accurate, and his perspective is different from that of others, so he can often win by surprise. He seems to have been born for the battlefield, and all the details can't escape his eyes.
"The eight women sent by Xining, do you think they are really used to celebrate the birthday of the imperial concubine or to be concubines for His Majesty?" Feng Xianji snorted lightly.
Wen Ruyi put away his leisurely face, sat up straight, and analyzed: "If you want to dedicate it to Your Majesty, those eight are indeed a bit too much, not only eye-catching, but also easy to divide from the inside. But just to celebrate the birthday of the imperial concubine, it is not like, although the king of Xining has already released a rumor that he wants to see the demeanor of the first beauty in Great Xia, but he will not specially raise such a group of people for the imperial concubine. ”
Wen Ruyi observed Feng Xianji's expression, guessing that he might have already made up his mind.
"Does the prince suspect that the imperial concubine has a secret relationship with the king of Xining?" Wen Ruyi boldly reasoned. Otherwise, with Tang's means, a concubine who is pregnant with a dragon fetus can die quietly in the palace, and the woman sent by the King of Xining is nothing, I'm afraid she doesn't care about it.
"On the surface, because the imperial concubine is jealous, it is difficult for them a few times. But in the end, it did not cause substantial damage, let alone damage His Majesty's slightest favor for them. Wen Ruyi frowned, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, he looked up at Feng Xianji's face, and said in astonishment, "If it is really the imperial concubine who made a move in it, then the intention of the King of Xining to send troops this time is obvious." ”
Not in Beidi, in Bactria
Feng Xianji dipped his finger in the wine, and took a sketchy map on the stone table with his finger, and he pointed to the place where the three kingdoms met: "This is the place where the Xining soldiers fought with Beidi. ”
At the junction of the country, there has always been a lot of strife. Great Xia can only deter neighboring countries because of its strong national strength, but in recent years, because His Majesty's ears and eyes are not as smart as before, there seem to be signs of decline in national strength. However, Xining has been hiding behind Beidi to recuperate, not taking the initiative to provoke right and wrong, asking people to ask for money and money, creating a look of not fighting back. If he really has wolf ambitions, the goal this time is already clear.
"Lord Wang, what can we do?" The warm wine woke up all of a sudden, and there was a feeling like falling into an ice cave.
Feng Xianji frowned, his fingers tapped on the stone table, and the map on the table gradually faded. You can't speak without evidence, once you speak out, with Your Majesty's current favor for Xining women, you may think that he will want to fight for the imperial concubine, and at that time he will be burned. If you don't say it, will you see Xining's conspiracy succeed and violate the border?
There has to be a way to do both.
"Lord Wang, there is indeed something unclear below." Although Wen Ruyi is not as sensitive as Feng Xianji in military affairs, he is also very agile in other aspects, and he found that there is a contradiction in this.
"Why did the imperial concubine help the king of Xining? She is now above 10,000 people under one person, why should she give up the glory and wealth in front of her to help a foreign race like Xining invade the land of Great Xia? This is where Wen Ruyi is puzzled.
Feng Xianji's eyelids jumped, and a conjecture jumped into his mind with Wen Ruyi's words. More and more intense, more and more impossible to ignore......
"If she's not of my race, wouldn't it be too much to think about this?"
Wen Ruyi's eyes widened, if it weren't for the lack of wind at this time, he would even suspect that he had misheard.
This is the only result that can be explained. She was not a citizen of Great Xia, so there was no need to worry about the future and fate of the country.
Feng Xianji's face sank, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his always resolute black eyes.
Feng Xianji's suspicion of Tang Feng is not groundless, and no matter how many outrageous things Tang Feng has done over the years, one thing alone is worth scrutinizing.
"In a place like Chen Ping, you can't raise such a woman." This is a strange point that Feng Xianji has always had. Acquaintance on the battlefield is a bit romantic to say, but when the battle starts, the corpses are piled up, the flesh and blood are flying, how can a woman who can't lift her shoulder and can't carry it in one hand rush out of the red-eyed soldiers?
Now Chen Pingxian Ling's family died tragically, and no one can testify.
Wen Ruyi's wine was completely awake, and he arrived: "If the prince doesn't send someone to Chen Ping to check, maybe there will be any clues." With such a look, it is impossible for the imperial concubine to be unknown in Chen Ping. ”
Feng Xianji had already sent people out, and when he set off for the capital, Lei Duan took a team of people to Chen Ping, and there should be news soon.
