"No way!" Before Yun Xi could finish speaking, Zhong Ling had already sharply refused.

Zhong Ling promised not to let Yun Xi set foot in the rivers and lakes again, and when Shen Yichi appointed him to go to the moat to exchange letters a few days ago, it was already an exception to provoke him, and she must not break her promise again.

But Yunxi just couldn't see Zhong Ling worried, from beginning to end, he habitually settled anything that displeased her one by one, but most of the time he didn't say anything.

Shen Yichi heard Zhong Ling mention the matter between her and Yun Xi, so it was completely understandable that she refused so unhesitantly, so he immediately looked at Yun Xi: "I will send someone else to do this, Ling'er is used to you being around, so you can stay and protect her." ”

Or is Shen Yichi's way of refusing more acceptable, anyway, it is all for Zhong Ling, Yun Xi did not argue anymore, and then nodded.

"You go out first." Zhong Ling calmed down and sent Yun Xi out, and then he said to Shen Yichi from the bottom of his heart: "Ah Chi, thank you." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yichi's face suddenly flashed with a bright smile, and his starry eyes were bright and attractive.

"But Ah Chi, do you really plan to arrange for someone to go to Chiyan?" Thinking of Shen Yichi's words, Zhong Ling immediately opened his mouth to confirm.

Shen Yichi didn't say it casually, and immediately nodded in affirmation: "Your worries are not unreasonable, Teng Qi is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and his strength should not be underestimated, and now that Ci'an Palace no longer needs manpower, I have sent Lou Chen to Chiyan to inquire in person." ”

It turned out that Shen Yi had implemented this move one step ahead of Zhong Ling sooner or later, and with him, many things could be very reassuring.

"That's fine, Lou Chen's martial arts are strong, even if he doesn't get anything, he will definitely be able to retreat, but I don't know if Teng Qi will really agree to be with Shen Tianyu." Zhong Ling sighed deeply.

The precautions that should be done have been done, and the rest can only be left to fate, taking one step at a time.

On the other hand, Shen Tianyu's intention to unite with the Chiyan Kingdom was rejected by the "Empress Dowager", and at this time, the Chiyan Kingdom came to the results of consideration.

"What does the letter say?" Shen Tianyu asked anxiously, it was Mu Chenyu who read the letter.

After a pause, I saw the corners of Mu Chenyu's mouth hooked, and a smug look on his face was really not what I expected.

Sensing Mu Chenyu's smile, Shen Tianyu seemed to have guessed the result, and then got up excitedly and walked over to snatch the letter from his hand.

After a cursory glance, Shen Tianyu was immediately overjoyed: "Great, it's like a tiger to fight against Shen Yichi like this." "I've never seen myself praise like this.

Mu Chenyu was still as indifferent as usual, and there was only a little more smile on her face than usual: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, I am happy to be helped." ”

"It's all the military advisors who have a way to negotiate, and when they get rid of Shen Yichi and take the pardon cloud, I will be rewarded." Shen Tianyu really hadn't had the pleasure of this moment for a long time.

At the same time, Shen Yichi also got the news here, and Lou Chen, who had just reached the halfway point, was urgently recalled back to the palace.

"The subordinates are not doing well, please punish Your Majesty." Lou Chen thought that he was slow to act and delayed the hour, and as soon as he came back, he came to the Qianqing Palace to invite

Crime.

Shen Yichi hurriedly shook his head and denied: "I can't complain to you about this matter, Shen Tianyu is bent on putting me to death, Fuji Jue and I also have some festivals, the alliance between the two of them has long been expected by me, and sending you is just a fluke." ”

Although he had already been prepared, but after really learning the news, Shen Yichi couldn't help but be a little worried, three days later, it would be the pilgrimage of all countries, and I really didn't know what kind of uproar there would be.

"How's the Dark Guard deployed?" Shen Yichi asked Lou Chen, he had planned to do so before.

Although there are many soldiers and horses in the Yuyun Imperial Court, there are less than half of the elite soldiers, and if they really want to confront Xia Ling and Chiyan head-on, the success or failure is still unpredictable, let alone how many people in the court are subservient to the Empress Dowager's faction, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be attacked from inside and outside.

In this way, Shen Yichi could only try his best to transfer people from his own hands.

Hearing this, Lou Chen immediately responded: "There are three thousand secret guards in the Chi Wangfu, although the number is not much, but compared with the ordinary soldiers in the arsenal, they can be ten with one. ”

This is equivalent to 30,000 more people, and it seems that the chances of winning are greater.

Shen Yichi nodded immediately: "Well, after two more days of intensive training, let the dark guards rest and adjust, and then you, Shen Dark, and Dayin will each bring a thousand, and be sure to ensure Ling'er's safety." ”

Sure enough, the original Shen Yi, who only wanted to be the king and hegemon, has long since ceased to exist, and now that he is in trouble, what he always remembers in his heart is just a Zhong Ling.

"My subordinates will do it." After that, Lou Chen immediately retired.

Everyone in the palace is busy preparing for the pilgrimage of all nations, and the palaces are decorated with lights, and they are peaceful and festive.

Everyone was waiting for the whole country to celebrate, but Shen Yichi was ready to welcome a bloody storm.

No, I almost forgot Zhong Ling.

The formal alliance between Chiyan Guo and Shen Tianyu has not yet reached Zhong Ling, but she has been marching and fighting for many years, and the most important thing is to be prepared, so she has long been prepared for battle.

According to Zhong Ling's original plan, Shen secretly intercepted every letter sent to Xia Ling by the Empress Dowager, and tampered with the content of Xia Ling's reply in the same way as Shen Yichi.

In addition, in order not to make the Empress Dowager suspicious, Zhong Ling licked her face from time to time to Ci'an Palace as usual, one was to continue to monitor, and the other was to let the Empress Dowager relax her vigilance, continuing to think that Zhong Ling did not know that she had lost power.

After a few days in this way, what the Empress Dowager received here had become Shen Tianyu's intention that she was useless and wanted to break the alliance with her.

Not only that, Zhong Ling also specially led the disaster to the Cao family in the letter, so that the Empress Dowager thought that Xia Ling abandoned her regardless of the provocation of Cao County's public Mao Sui and found another lover.

Anyway, now that Cao Xiangong and Concubine Min are each grounded in two places, the Empress Dowager is also being monitored by Zhong Ling every day, and they are "dead without proof".

In this way, this plan of killing three birds with one stone can be regarded as really paving the way, and the three parties are all in response to each other, so everything is really ready, and only the east wind is owed.

On this day, Zhong Ling rushed over as usual, and looked at the Empress Dowager's thunderous appearance, presumably so

The last letter was received.

The last letter was written to Shen Tianyu in the name of the Cao family, but it was just a miscommunication...... It's not right, it should be said that it deliberately pretended to be misinformation and fell into the hands of the Queen Mother.

The "Duke of Cao County" in the letter said that the Empress Dowager had already lost power in the court, and she couldn't even restore him to an official position, and she was with Zhong Ling every day.

This letter was naturally written by Zhong Ling, although it was to sow discord, but it would never be sent to Shen Tianyu, after all, he was suspicious by nature, and there was a difficult Mu Chenyu by his side as a military advisor, and this little skill of carving insects could only be used to deceive the empress dowager, an elderly fool.

Sure enough, seeing the content of the letter, the Empress Dowager was immediately furious, after all, what Zhong Ling said might really be the heartfelt words of Cao Xiangong, and she just said it for him that he didn't dare to say.

"How can this be reasonable, I can't imagine that this old fox is so cunning, and he actually walks back and forth between the mourning family and Xia Ling, and the mourning family also helped his Cao family to establish a foundation in the court, and he is so kind to take revenge."

The Empress Dowager's eyes were full of murderous anger, and then she looked at Ruoyu, who was in charge of transmitting the message between her and Xia Ling: "It's not far from the birth of the child in Concubine Min's womb." ”

Ruoyu nodded: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the imperial doctor just went to see it yesterday, and said that it was about to touch it for a few days." ”

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager was still full of anger, and the corners of her mouth were already hooked up with a terrible smile at this time: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, don't you mean that your baby daughter is flying Huang Tengda?" The mourner will have to wait and see how you beg the mourner to let her go. ”

When Zhong Ling heard this at the door, his heart suddenly tightened, and only then did he realize that Concubine Min was about to give birth, and originally just threw the Cao family as bait, but in this way, it was really possible for Cao Xiangong to take action.

"No, I have to tell Ah Chi quickly." Zhong Ling immediately turned to leave, but was unfortunately bumped into by Ruyi's grandmother who was passing by.

"Slave maid see queen mother." This sudden greeting made the hearts of the two people inside and outside the house tense in unison.

"Why don't you have to leave before you go in?" Mama Ruyi asked casually, Zhong Ling's nerves tensed instantly, and then he smiled stiffly:

"Hehehe, that ...... Originally, I was going to come to see the Empress Dowager, but I suddenly remembered that I didn't bring something, so I didn't plan to go back and get it. ”

There is really no one to make up this reason, Zhong Ling is afraid that he doesn't believe it when he says it.

As he was talking, the people inside had already rushed over when they heard the voice, and they saw the Queen Mother's face full of gloom: "What's wrong with the queen, you don't enter the door, this is not the queen's usual style." ”

"Oh, the son-in-law brought a gift to the queen mother, and I remembered that it fell in the palace, isn't this going back to get it?" Zhong Ling continued to talk nonsense, but the Empress Dowager was full of suspicion and didn't believe her nonsense at all.

"Didn't the queen hear something she shouldn't hear, and her heart was empty." The Empress Dowager suddenly leaned into Zhong Ling's ear and threatened, and she was stunned.

How should I say that I didn't hear anything? Will this woman believe?

Oh my God, Zhong Ling wished that an angel would save her.

"Niangniang Niang Niang...... "Angel ...... Phew, it's pothos here.

Everyone looked over when they heard this.

"See the Queen Mother, see the Queen Mother." Pothos panted and ran over.

Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment: "Pothos? How did you get here. ”

"Niang Niang also said, when she went out, she still talked about bringing the sesame cake made by herself to the Queen Mother to taste, why did this fall on the table?" As she spoke, the green pothos handed the hot sesame crisp in her hand to Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment, probably thinking in his heart, "When am I going to bring sesame crisp to her, no, it should be when I will make sesame crisp."
