Chapter 432: She's the Devil
War is a big deal.
On the same day, the holy decree was issued, and Bai Heng was named General Feiyuan, promoted to the second rank, and took 50,000 elite soldiers out of Beijing to the north.
And to Qiu Gang, the king of Zhenbei who was far away, also gave a saint, and asked Bai Heng, who was fully cooperative, to be mistaken.
At the same time, the grain and grass of the Ministry of War have also been shipped out, and the person who supervised the grain and grass was an official who had cooperated with Ye Yuanpei before, and he was also more familiar with northern Xinjiang.
Ling Tiancheng said: "Even if these people rush there, the people in the north have also suffered a lot, the north has always been a place of right and wrong, for so many years, there has been no cure, it is really a headache." ”
Zhuang Siyan didn't want to intervene in these major matters, and she usually didn't ask.
It's just that at this time, seeing Ling Tiancheng's appearance is also very worried, I want to comfort him a few words: "If Bai Heng wins this time, don't take back the lost land, directly reach into the Northern Desert, take down the leader of the other party, get them scared, don't dare to come again, you should be able to stabilize this year, since ancient times, there is a saying that a war is flat for ten years, we can't just play around, stop and stop." ”
Ling Tiancheng nodded: "I understand, in the early years, because of the lack of treasury, although General Ye was in the north, he failed to enter the Northern Desert, and it has only been better in the past two years, and the people's livelihood can be supplied, but there are no reliable generals, I hope this will Bai Heng live up to my expectations." ”
I hope this kind of thing, just listen to it, it has always been inaccurate.
Although Zhuang Siyan didn't say it, he felt sad for Ling Tiancheng in his heart, the king of a country, what he received was such a mess in his hand, and after so many years of hard work, it was just that the people lived a little bit of a good life, but the frontier was chaotic again.
For a moment, she wanted to write to ask Ye Yuanpei if she was willing to take the initiative to ask Ying to go to Northern Xinjiang again, but she still didn't do so.
After this incident, the matter between Wen Qing and the demon concubine doesn't seem to be so big.
In the final analysis, this is all the business of the Dasheng Dynasty itself, even if it is really dead, it is one or two, and it is not the same as the war on the frontier.
Zhuang Siyan was serious, so he wrote Wen Qing's words lightly, and didn't mention a word about the demon concubine.
Ling Tiancheng was so busy that he couldn't even touch Zhuang Siyan in the Xuan Hall from morning to night.
Generally speaking, he went to the court at about five o'clock in the morning, discussed big and small matters, and at noon he was not even restless, and the ministers waited to tell him about other things.
Sometimes even at night, there is a military report urgently.
He has no time to take care of the affairs of the harem, and Zhuang Siyan is not good at disturbing him, the two live under the same roof but are busy with their own work.
By the time the winter months come, the weather is already cold and dripping into ice.
When I woke up in the morning, there were ice flowers outside, and the snow piled up on the ground was about to melt, but it could not be cleaned up, and all of them were frozen to death on the ground.
You have to be very careful when you walk, and if you don't get it right, you will slip.
Zhuang Siyan will still go out, take a look in the palaces, or go to Shou'an Palace.
Since she is in charge of this family, she will also do her duty.
She also used this time to produce some wooden washing machines.
This matter comes from Xiaoling, it is too cold to wash clothes in winter, but there is no electricity in the Dasheng Dynasty, although Zhuang Siyan is studious, physics is really not a strong point, so she has no way about electricity.
But there is no way to run out of electricity, so she asked the general to make a large wooden barrel, make a shelf on the top of the barrel, and make a turbine for a washing machine at the bottom of the shelf, which is pushed by manpower.
Although it was a bit laborious, and it took two people to keep pushing the turbine to get really busy, it was still much better than having your hands in the biting ice water.
The Internal Affairs Office got such a treasure, and it was almost like respecting Zhuang Siyan like a god.
The Imperial Physician Liu, who once knew that she was also a demon concubine, was even more complicated.
Xiaoling is very effective by Zhuang Siyan's side, although she has been here for a short time, she is very useful, and she is a little more clever than Ping'er.
After Hu Yun and Wan Liwan got acquainted with her, they would also help her do some things, and for a while, the harem was also in order, not as chaotic as in the past.
At least Concubine Dong and Concubine Yi won't make any trouble, as for Concubine Zhen, Zhuang Siyan has already coaxed and frightened her to accept her clothes.
The most difficult thing to do is still in Shou'an Palace.
To put it bluntly, the people who live in this place are neither afraid of death nor scolding, and whoever comes, they can answer two sentences if they want to deal with it, and if they don't want to deal with it, they will pretend to be crazy and stupid, and it will pass.
Zhuang Siyan went in a few times, and slowly observed the situation of those people, some were crazy, but there were a few.
There are half-crazy people, that is, they can be crazy for a while if they want to be crazy, and they can be sober if they don't want to be crazy.
And the ones who aren't crazy at all.
In the entire Shou'an Palace, this group of people who are not crazy at all are taking care of it.
They are very strange, when there is no one, they can make the whole palace clear, but once someone from outside comes, it is like a collective strike, they don't do anything, squatting in the corner to watch the excitement.
Zhuang Siyan tried to call two people to ask, but it took a lot of effort, but he didn't ask anything.
Even Chunhua, who was locked up at the beginning, stopped talking later, and saw that she could only open her teeth and claws, as if she was going to tear him apart.
scared Ping'er, who went with her, and persuaded Zhuang Siyan to stay away from her.
As time went on, my stomach finally became pregnant, and I began to walk uncomfortably, and even my clothes were tightened.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone over to make new clothes.
In these things, Zhuang Siyan has always been used to being casual, and said to them: "Don't be so troublesome, anyway, I won't go out now, just make a few loose sets of make-do, and talk about it when it's hot." ”
How can the people of the Internal Affairs Office be willing to compromise, this is the biggest lady in the palace now, and she is also a celebrity around the emperor, or a person with a dragon seed.
Even if she doesn't care about herself, she still has to have the clothes she should have, and the most important thing is that when she goes out, she really doesn't go out, and after entering the wax moon, all kinds of festivals in the palace are coming.
There are harem gatherings, and there are also gatherings with hundreds of officials, will they wear a set of clothes that don't fit well when the time comes, so that the imperial concubine can't go out?
Zhuang Siyan was defeated by their set of words, and there was really no way, so he agreed to let them come over and measure the size.
On that day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent six people, some of whom were in charge of the ruler, some of whom were taking notes, and some of whom were holding materials for her to adjust.
Zhuang Siyan really didn't want to deal with it, so he only let the measured ones enter the inner hall, and as for the fabrics or something, it was up to Ping'er and Xiaoling to pick them.
The two palace maids went to Zhuang Siyan's robe, and began to measure her with a ruler in their hands.
The middle is still smooth, and everything is done in less than half an hour, just when the palace maid who recorded the things was about to retreat, she took the ruler and walked up and said: "Niangniang, when I just measured your neck, I didn't see that you were still wearing a jacket inside, I'm afraid that this size will not be accurate, and the slave will measure it for you again?" ”
Zhuang Siyan was informal, shook his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it's good to be wider and narrower, besides, now that my belly is small, I wear it like this first, and then it will slowly get bigger, and I don't have to make a new one." ”
The palace maid said: "After measuring this time, I want to make all the clothes from the previous year, so there are wide and narrow, and it is better to measure it again." ”
The recorded palace maid stood still, and was about to make modifications, but she heard the palace maid with the ruler say: "Xiaomei, you go out to see if the fabric has been selected, if you choose it, take a horse over to match the color first." ”
Xiaomei obviously listened to her and went out in a hurry.
Zhuang Siyan stood silently, but his hand had already pinched the silver needle.
The hand of the ruler uterine woman was put on her neck, and she just wanted to pinch the acupuncture points between her neck, but she had already taken the first step and pierced her front shoulder fossa with a needle.
The man's hand paused in mid-air, realizing that he had missed, and when he wanted to run, Zhuang Siyan followed her and gave her another stitch, and quickly pulled the tent in the room, and wrapped the palace maid firmly in three or two strokes.
Xiao Ling outside heard the movement, ran in hurriedly, saw the scene in front of her, and went to check on Zhuang Siyan's situation first.
"I'm fine, you go search her, take off all her clothes, and see what she has on her?"
Xiao Ling was not ambiguous, re-tied the palace maid's hands and feet, took the scissors directly, washed her clothes away, and took them off her body one by one.
There really was something, two little pills, crimson ones, which looked bright and attractive, but this kind of thing was basically poison.
Zhuang Siyan glanced at it from a distance, but he didn't get closer, so he ordered Ping'er outside: "Detain all the people from the Internal Affairs Office, you call someone to go to the Tai Hospital, and invite Cai Zhouping to come." ”
I didn't know what was going on outside, but when I heard the imperial concubine say this, I immediately panicked, and knelt down with a bang, and I cried on the spot when I had the courage.
The person who was tied up was calmer than everyone else, silent, and just looked at Zhuang Siyan with straight eyes.
Zhuang Siyan also looked at her, without the slightest fear or threat, just watched, and forced the palace maid back with her eyes.
As soon as Cai Zhouping got the news, he didn't dare to stop, he trotted to the Xuan Palace, took the pill and tested it, it was really a poison, and it was a huge poison, and if he ate it, it would kill him.
Zhuang Siyan smiled at the palace maid: "You are really bold, poison me, it seems that you don't want to live for a long time." ”
The maid didn't speak, just looked at her.
Zhuang Siyan was ruthless, picked up the scissors that Xiao Ling had just cut her clothes, and stabbed them into her arm.
Her clothes had already been stripped naked, and the skin that had been frozen on the ground at this time was purple, and when the scissors went down, the blood flowed out instantly, and she also screamed.
The people outside didn't know what was going on, and they were even more frightened to death when they heard the screams, and some even cried in low voices.
Zhuang Siyan didn't even blink his eyes: "You think about it yourself, you can say anything, if you are satisfied with what you say, you will suffer a little less, and if you are not satisfied, I will cut it with scissors until I pierce all the holes in your body." ”
The palace maid finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted hysterically: "You slut, you can't die well, you are pregnant, and you still do this kind of hurtful thing, you won't die well." ”
Zhuang Siyan seemed to have no heart and no lungs: "That's right, if I hadn't found out about your misdeeds in advance today, I wouldn't have died well, but now you can't die well, I'm not satisfied with this sentence, let's do it again." ”
She picked up the scissors in her hand and fell, and a new hole appeared on the palace maid's body, and when the scissors were pulled out, blood spurted out, splashing all over the ground.
Ping'er, Xiaoling, and Cai Zhouping in the vicinity were all dumbfounded.
At this time, they may really think that Zhuang Siyan is the devil.
