Chapter VII: Conspiracy and Planning
After the county lord left the Qingwen Pavilion, he returned directly to the county king's mansion. As soon as she stepped into the backyard of the house, she happened to meet several doctors walking out of the courtyard.
The doctors took a look at the county lord and said to the county lord again and again, "The county lord is fine."
The lord of the county was very puzzled when he saw them, could it be that someone was sick?
The county lord was puzzled: "Who is practicing medicine for in the house?"
When they heard the county lord's question, they did not dare not answer.
"This ......"
"What's the matter, it's not to kill you, hurry up."
The county lord was extremely impatient.
They hurriedly replied:
"Back to the county lord, I was invited by the steward to treat the horse today."
"Pony?"
"The colt was depressed, overworked, and had a high fever. And ......"
"What's there, tell me quickly."
"The horse is full of scars, and we understand the physical needs of the county lord, but we still ask the county lord to do it later...... During intercourse...... Pay a little attention. ”
What the doctors said was extremely subtle.
The county lord's face darkened: "The county lord knows, come here, send off guests."
After saying that, he went straight to Xingchen Garden.
"Water...... Water ......"
Chen Ziwei said in a daze in his sleep.
Xiao Si beside him hurriedly brought the water on the table, helped him get up slightly with one hand, and slowly fed him water with the other.
"Squeak", the door was pushed in, and Xiao Si looked back and saw that the county lord was coming, so he slightly luggage the county lord: "The county lord is fine."
"You go down first, go and see if the medicine is decoctioned, and bring it over when it's done."
The county lord waved his hand.
"Yes."
That Xiao Si walked out, and didn't forget to close the door gently before going out.
The county lord walked into the bed and saw the fine beads of sweat on Chen Ziwei's face at a glance, and couldn't help but wipe it for him.
Chen Ziwei, she leaned closer and looked at him carefully, hey, he didn't look stunning, but he was a little cute.
What happened to me just now? Why did the sensation become interested in him? No, I must have promised General Chen to take good care of him, yes, it must be so.
"County Lord, the medicine is ready."
"Come in."
That Xiao Si walked in slowly with the decoction.
"Take good care of the horses, the lord of this county has something to go out."
The county lord felt that she couldn't stay here any longer, why did she feel that they were familiar after only being together for less than three days, or was it just because she was obsessed with his body?
"Yes, as the lord commands. Congratulations to the county lord. ”
After the county lord left, Na Xiao Si was full of joy: "It seems that the county lord still cares about my master."
……
Shangshu Mansion, Li Ruofei's study.
Li Ruofei leaned over the desk to write a letter, extremely serious. "Someone."
Li Ruofei gave an order, and a black shadow flashed into the study.
Li Ruofei said in a deep voice: "Send this letter to Chen Gongzi tomorrow."
The shadow took the envelope with both hands and immediately disappeared from the study.
Li Ruofei pressed his hands on the table fiercely.
"Hmph, Shao Xuan, I don't care who you are, you rob your husband first, humiliate me last, I will have to get this account back from you sooner or later, let's see."
"Knock knock", a soft knock sounded on the door.
"Master, Master Xu invites you to lunch."
"Tell him that I still have something to do, so I won't go today, let him eat first."
"Yes, master."
Li Ruofei walked out of the door, went out of the house, and went directly to Yipinlou.
Yipinlou is the largest restaurant in the capital, and many court officials often come here to eat.
Li Ruofei walked into the Yipinlou, glanced at the people coming and going, and saw a guy in an inconspicuous corner who was wiping the wall with a towel, Li Ruofei walked over.
"Miss Li, upstairs in room three, General Zheng is waiting for you."
The man said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Li Ruofei took out the broken silver and rewarded him, and then went upstairs.
"Lord Zheng."
Li Ruofei clenched his fists and said.
"Miss Li doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." General Zheng Kai Zheng made a gesture of invitation to her.
After Li Ruofei sat down, "General Zheng, I came to you today to discuss something." ”
"What is worth visiting Chen Gongzi in person?"
Zheng Kai sat down and poured a cup of tea for her and himself.
"General Zheng, do you remember the bandit suppression incident five years ago? I guess my mother told you about it. ”
"I know a little bit, and I'd like to hear about it."
"The bandits were serious that year, and the imperial court sent Chen Ziluo, the daughter of General Chen, to clean it up, but who knew that she died because of it"
"I remember that some people said at that time that General Chen Xiao was exhausted after killing several people in a row, and due to physical exhaustion, he finally died at the hands of the bandit leader, is there another hidden reason?"
"After many years, the situation at that time was not what you and I saw with our own eyes, there is no way to investigate, the key is General Chen, she doesn't believe that her daughter died like this, what does her daughter's martial arts do, even a gang of bandits can take her daughter. General Chen was full of suspicions about the matter, and she had been searching for the truth for so many years. ”
"I'm afraid this is not easy to check, right?"
"That's what she said, but she has to insist on investigating whether she lives or dies."
"General Chen is stubborn."
"Who said it wasn't, she actually found my Shangshu Mansion."
"Is your Shangshu Mansion really involved in this matter?"
"General Zheng, I regard you as my elder, the person I trust the most."
Li Ruofei poured a cup of tea for General Zheng: "I won't tell you, this matter really has nothing to do with Shangshu Mansion, it is estimated that she has checked the mansions of every courtier in the court."
"Ah, there's such a thing."
"You say, is our Shangshu Mansion her casually going in and out?"
Li Ruofei's face was angry, and he eased up randomly.
General Zheng took a sip of the tea on the table:
"Recently, I heard that you and Chen Gongzi, oh, it should be a colt now, there are any scandals, is this true?"
Li Ruofei smiled: "It's not a scandal, it's true, if it weren't for the county lord's stabbing sideways, maybe Chen Ziwei would already be my person." It's infuriating to think about it. ”
"So, you married Chen Ziwei just to win over the Chen family?"
"No, Ziwei has nothing to do with this matter. But now...... Alas"
General Zheng seems to understand the general idea of the matter:
"So, the Chen family is now married to the county lord and is on the opposite side of you, what are you going to do?"
"General Zheng, you must also know that although the power of the Chen family is not as strong as our Shangshu Mansion, it should not be underestimated, so it can only be suppressed now. General Zheng, do you still need to rely on your strength at this time? ”
The tea that General Zheng put on his lips was put down before he could drink it.
"Lord Shangshu has the grace of reinvention for me, and it is of course my duty to help me."
Li Ruofei smiled happily when he heard this: "General Zheng is really righteous, and I, Li Ruofei, admire it very much."
General Zheng was an official under Li Shangshu, and later served as an informant for Shangshu to be placed by General Shao.
That year, the frontier was in turmoil, and General Shao led his troops to quell the chaos, and Zheng Kai was her deputy general. The rebellion that year was really the most successful.
Since that time, the border barbarians have never set foot in the territory of my Tianchen, that is, Zheng Kai was recommended by Li Shangshu and was named General Weiyuan.
"General Zheng, you and General Chen are colleagues, I hope you will secretly monitor her every move, and by the way, take her people for your own use at the right time, otherwise you will ......"
Li Ruofei made a "killing" gesture to him.
"Those people are easy to solve, but the key is that those important court ministers around her are a little troublesome? If the Empress finds out, she will ......"
Of course, Li Ruofei understood what she meant: "I have my own decision on this, this year's autumn hunt is coming, take the opportunity to ...... it then."
General Zheng immediately understood what Li Ruofei meant.
"It's an opportunity, but how do we arrange it?"
Li Ruofei whispered a few words beside Zheng Kai: "What does General Zheng think of this plan?"
"Very good."
General Zheng nodded in agreement.
Li Ruofei smiled proudly: "General Chen, you brought it on yourself, don't blame me."
Everyone has their own choices, and we are responsible for our own choices, even if there is a bloody storm on the horizon.
Maybe even General Chen himself didn't know that between Li Ruofei and the county lord, she chose the county lord, and what would wait for her next.
