As the sun set, at the highest point of the Lingfeng Pavilion, Chu Yugu, dressed in black, stood on top of the gray-black corrugated, almost blending with the surrounding roofs. It wasn't until a snow dove spun around the building, and finally flapped its wings and stopped in his open palm, that his tall figure was faintly recognized.

He took out the folded wax paper from the snow pigeon's ankle pouch, and then leaped into the Lingfeng Pavilion like a bat.

"Lord Wang, there is an urgent report from the west."

Ling Zhao stood up from the front of the perfume table, took the wax paper handed by Chu Yugu, walked to the window in a few steps, and read the dense fly-headed small blocks on it in the sunset. After reading it, the corners of his lips slowly hooked up a smile.

"But there's good news?"

"Well, good things come in pairs, and there are two at a time." Ling Zhao smiled and nodded, "One is that the Wushu refutes the hostage of the eldest princess of the Fuguo Kingdom and asks Ling Li to withdraw from Wuhualing, but Ling Li withholds the news and does not report it to the imperial court; The other is that Ling Li sent Shen Zhu, who pretended to be the boss of Agarwood Ji last time, to infiltrate Kusu, hoping to rescue the eldest princess of Fuguo from the fire. ”

"Sure enough, it's all good news." Chu Yugu nodded, "Sun Zhi has made a mistake this time." ”

"You quickly reply to Sun Zhi, ask him to sneak into Kusu as soon as possible, and fully assist Shen Zhi to get close to the eldest princess of Fuguo."

"Let Sun Zhi assist Shen Zhu?" Chu Yugu was surprised, "Rescuing the eldest princess of Fuguo will solve Ling Li's current urgent need, wouldn't it completely pave the way for the Zhenxi Army to attack Xili?" In this way, the agreement between Wushu and the prince will be completely nullified......"

"Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone if you rescued the eldest princess of Fuguo first, and then let her die at the hands of Ling Li's people?" Ling Zhao threw the wax paper into the aroma burner and watched with interest as the wax paper burst into a flash of fire, which then turned into a puddle of ashes.

"The eldest princess of Fuguo is dead, and there are no hostages left in Wushu? And if the eldest princess of Fuguo dies in the hands of Ling Li, His Majesty and the queen will be angry with Ling Li......" Chu Yugu thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "The prince really has a clever plan!" ”

"After a while, you let Yushuang go to the Hidden Dragon Temple and reveal the matter of Ling Li's detention of the Wushu to the people of the East Palace." Ling Zhao returned to the incense table and continued to concoct Su Hexiang, "The crown prince's ban has been lifted, and he has been trying to show his face in front of his father in the past few days, so this opportunity will be given to him." ”

"The last time the prince was grounded, it was because of the fact that he angered His Majesty by planting spies in the Zhenxi Army, this time he won't be fooled again, right?"

Ling Zhao said with a smile: "I don't know if I'm fooled, at least Jin Yao is from the same mother as him, so he will always do something." ”

"I'll do it." After Chu Yugu responded, he turned around and left the Lingfeng Pavilion.

"Remember to go to the Lotus Pond Water Pavilion on time at night."

Chu Yugu's back froze, and then he replied, "Okay." ”

"Why is it black chicken ginseng soup again?"

Xu Zhiyi took the white jade bowl handed by Yuzhu, stirred the soup with a spoon, and immediately frowned. She has been drinking a bowl of black chicken ginseng soup every evening for half a month, and now she feels a little disgusted when she smells it.

"Princess, this is stewed by the prince. You also know that since His Majesty asked about the matter of his heirs, the prince has also been extra attentive. Not to mention anything else, in the past, they used to have sex once a month, but now they come every other day, if the princess's body is not well repaired, I am afraid that the prince's hard work will be in vain. Yuzhu said, picked up the white jade bowl that Xu Zhiyi pushed aside, and handed it to her again.

After listening to Yuzhu's words, Xu Zhiyi had to take the chicken soup and drink it. It may be that the time spent with sex is frequent, resulting in physical fatigue, and recently she always feels dizzy and weak, and her body is weak, and she can't even get out of bed a few times, and she sleeps for most of the day. Once her sister-in-law came to visit the palace, she couldn't get up for a while, and she was teased and said, "You should always understand now, why do you want to marry a concubine for your husband, right?" ”

"This ginseng soup tastes weird, it's too unpalatable." Xu Zhiyi endured the nausea and drank a few sips, and finally put down the soup bowl.

"I asked the kitchen to add a few flavors of medicine to nourish yin and qi, there must be some medicinal taste." As soon as Xu Zhiyi put down the soup bowl, Ling Zhao walked in with a smile, he sat down at the table, picked up the chicken soup and smelled it, scooped a spoonful and tasted it himself, and then fed it to Xu Zhiyi, "Zhiyi will drink it today, and tomorrow I will let the kitchen stew some soup with different ingredients for you to choose." ”

Ling Zhao was so considerate and caring, Xu Zhiyi had long forgotten the strange smell of chicken soup, and only blushed on his hand and drank all the bowls of chicken soup.

"Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and it is cooler on the lotus pond. I'll be waiting for you in the watery pavilion after a while. Putting down the white jade bowl, Ling Zhao raised his hand to gently brush a strand of broken hair from her ear for Xu Zhiyi, and whispered in her ear.

Maybe it's because the relationship between the two has been stalemate recently, and her body is becoming more and more sensitive. As soon as he got close, she felt hot and uneasy. His flirtation here made her even more red-faced, and her heart beat like a drum.

"The prince loves the princess so much now, and it is really not in vain that the noble ladies and ladies in Kyoto are jealous of you." After seeing Ling Zhao leave, Yuzhu on the side covered his lips and smiled.

Xu Zhiyi raised her hand and touched her still flat lower abdomen, and sighed: "The prince treats me like this, if only I could conceive a child as soon as possible." ”

"Mrs. Sister-in-law said last time that the Zanglong Temple's send-off mother was very effective, and the princess was pregnant with the emperor's grandson after going to the Zanglong Temple to worship. June 19 is the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then we will also go to the Hidden Dragon Temple to ask a statue to send the son Niangniang back, right? ”

"Then let's try it." Xu Zhiyi nodded in response.

*********

Zanglong Temple is located in the east of the national capital Yongding, and is the Buddhist temple with the most incense in South Vietnam.

Whenever it comes to the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the pilgrims who come to offer incense to the Buddha and ask for vows are even more rubbing shoulders and going back and forth. Afraid of being noisy, Xu Zhiyi, accompanied by her mother and sister-in-law, went to the Hidden Dragon Temple early in the morning to chant and make a vow.

Knowing that the princess came to worship the Buddha, in order to avoid disturbance by idle people, the host temporarily closed the entire Guanyin Hall. When Xu Zhiyi finished offering incense to the Buddha and walked out of the Guanyin Hall, she found that the pilgrims waiting outside the hall had surrounded the passage in front of the hall.

Xu Zhiyi and her entourage followed the monks who specialized in serving the royal Buddha out of the Guanyin Hall through the side door and into a wooded courtyard behind the hall.

"This is the dormitory that the old man prepared for the princess. The abbot is making a consecration ceremony for the princess Guanyin in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and asks the princess and her wife to rest for a while. The monk pushed open the vermilion lacquer door of the dormitory and ushered Xu Zhiyi and her party in.

After the monks left, Xu Zhiyi, her mother and sister-in-law sat down in the elegantly decorated squatter room, while Yuzhu and a few other maids served tea diligently.

After sitting for a while, Xu Zhiyi felt bored, so she mentioned going out for a walk. The old lady and sister-in-law of the Xu family were afraid of the hot weather and didn't want to move around, so Xu Zhiyi only took Yuzhu out for a stroll.

"Ah, is the prince here too?!" As soon as the two of them came out of the dormitory, Yuzhu pointed to a back in front of them and said in surprise.

Xu Zhiyi looked at it, and a familiar back suddenly turned the stone path between the bamboo forests and disappeared in front of her eyes. When she left the palace early in the morning, Ling Zhao's carriage and horse also happened to go out, saying that His Majesty had made an appointment with people from the two mansions to discuss matters in the imperial study. How could he be in the Hidden Dragon Temple at this moment?!
