"When the queen died, she asked me to take good care of Ivan. I was her only child in good health. ”

Sophia sat in the courtyard, lazily enjoying the rare Siberian sunshine. Although she still wanted to be more comfortable, in Chen Cheng's cold gaze, she still smiled embarrassedly and pushed the cherry liqueur away.

She thought for a moment and explained, "Cherry liqueur, sweet." Not counting alcohol. Vodka counts. Women drink only when they are thirsty...... Well, sweetheart. You won't let me drink, I won't drink. I'm so obedient, you must sleep with me. ”

Chen Cheng set his eyes on Gui Zhong and diverted the topic: "Ivan is a lucky child, he has a good sister. Xiao Zhong's parents and even his sister are dead. I don't know if Gui Xinshu and his wife will want to kill him even more when they hear this.

After he had been touched by Sophia's heart for a moment, he felt that he was not so detached when he looked at Sophia again. This is also a glamorous woman, especially the exaggerated upper circumference, as well as the revealing palace dress, which makes her both pure and seductive.

Sophia was led the conversation and added, "Theoto is also in poor health. He suffered from scurvy and was so weak that he needed the support of his attendants even to walk. He was sick once, and he would lie in bed for half a year. Only me, I can live well. So I want everything. I want wine, I want adventure, I want men. I want you, sweetheart. ”

It was the first time Chen Cheng was so indifferent when he heard this.

He could barely understand the mind of this madwoman. At least a large part of it was family history that gave her a sense of precariousness.

That's why she acts extremely crazy and has an extreme disregard for the lives of others. And will like Chen Cheng who gives her a sense of security. For other men, though, she's more about desire. But for Chen Cheng, she likes it a little.

Because of the sense of security, especially when she faced death for the first time, it gave her a sense of security. It was an experience she had never had before.

In fact, there are usually many men who kneel and lick Sophia. But Sophia didn't look down on them at all. But Chen Cheng cared about her casually, and she fell in love. thinks that only Chen Cheng cares about him in the whole world. This may have made Sophia's suitors sad.

Perhaps to confirm Chen Cheng's association, a maid came up very respectfully and whispered something to Sophia.

Sophia sneered and sent him back. Turning her head, she said to Chen Cheng with some flattery: "Lev wants to please me again." This bearded guy is really annoying. Do you know? Bearded kissing can prick the nose and jaw and be uncomfortable. So, let's kiss. Can't sleep, then kiss, kissing doesn't matter. ”

Chen Cheng sighed helplessly and diverted the topic: "How is your father's health?" ”

Sophia said: "The tsar is in good health, and he is still young, only in his thirties. The first queen is in poor health. ”

Chen Cheng didn't have nothing to say, he remembered that when Wei Xiaobao was a few years later, the tsar was Theoto. That is, the current tsar is dead. There is really something wrong with this family's health.

Now the tsar is estimated to have a few years to live, and Theoto died in his early twenties. It turns out that the historical Ivan is afraid that he will not live long.

He asked, "What are your plans for the future?" ”

Sophia thought for a moment, "What else?" Married to a duke. Then raise a couple of lovers. I know, you are Chinese. You won't stay with me. So I must sleep with you before you leave. ”

Chen Cheng almost burst out laughing. How long is this brain circuit, and how can any topic be brought back to her?

He said: "You are the daughter of the tsar, the princess of the empire, and marrying the duke is too wronged for you." ”

Sophia's blue eyes widened: "The Duke is already the biggest. I can't marry the Tsar, he's my father. ”

Chen Cheng picked his eyebrows: "You can rely on yourself, you don't need to rely on your husband." You don't even have to get married. ”

Sophia was a little puzzled, and then rejoiced: "You don't want me to marry someone else, do you?" Do you want to monopolize me? It's impossible. Not even if you are the emperor of China. But I know what you're thinking. I'm happy. ”

Chen Cheng looked at the sky with both eyes, tired. After a while, he said, "I mean, what you want comes from your power." You can't force me to sleep now, can you? But if you have more power, and you want to force me, I don't dare to oppose it at all. Your power is great enough, and the emperor of China will kneel before you and offer me to you as a lover. ”

Sophia's eyes lit up with this vision, but she was still confused: "I'm the eldest princess. How else can I gain more power? ”

Chen Cheng smiled but did not say a word. This woman would later become Queen Regent, and would even try to depose Peter. In the end, she failed and was imprisoned by Peter the Great as a nun in a convent. Speaking of which, it is almost a copy of the Taiping princess of the Tang Dynasty of China.

She is not so ambitious now. However, Chen Cheng did not hesitate to add a fire, so that her ambition burned earlier, and it became more and more fierce in the future. If Sophia fights with Peter the Great in the future, or even rules by rowing the (Volga) River, this will be a major benefit.

But he also knew that enough was enough, and the first time he mentioned this topic, it was almost the same at this point.

He looked at the two smiling boys in the distance, and changed the topic without a trace: "Do bear bile have to be eaten every day?" ”

Sophia is not a fool, after all, she has also fought in the court since she was a child. When she saw that Chen Cheng didn't answer, she thought it was strange at first. But it immediately dawned on me that the topic was too taboo. It's just that now she can't figure out how she can be more powerful than the eldest princess.

She didn't think about it for a while, and just said, "No, it's okay to eat a little in five days." ”

Chen Cheng bowed: "Okay, you let your subordinates be careful when hunting bears, don't have accidents." ”

Sophia said: "No, they are professional soldiers. It's not like we all sneaked out that day. Besides, when they die, they die, I don't care. ”

Chen Cheng tilted his head and glanced at her, his eyes full of indifference. The slightest understanding and even good impression of the princess just now immediately disappeared again. After all, in his bones, this is just an extremely cold person.

Don't be deceived by her beautiful appearance.

Sophia said, "I only care about myself and Theotou and Ivan. ”

Chen Cheng stood up: "It's time for me to continue teaching witchcraft." He didn't know what to say, at least he was an honest heartless.

Sophia said behind her, "And you, my sweetheart." ”

Chen Cheng paused, and then walked straight out.

It's been a few more days, taking medicine, practicing martial arts, and talking. Chen Cheng and Sophia seduced each other. Sophia covets Chen Cheng's body, and Chen Cheng wants to provoke Sophia's desire for power.

At the same time, there was also the thunderous Lev, who offered courtesy, and then Sophia refused without hesitation.

Fortunately, Lev is still a very gentleman, and no matter how frustrated he was with Sophia, he didn't get angry with Chen Cheng. For Chen Cheng, he is still very respectful. At least on the surface, because the two sides don't see each other much.

This baron has his own things to do, including the "trouble" that Chen Cheng gave him. He was preparing the fur that Chen Cheng needed. The camels have communicated with their people about the number and condition.

Ivan took the Guiyuan Pill at the beginning, and his green eyes were about to turn blue every day when he drank the deer blood, but it finally had a little effect. But Wabeski revealed that Kim didn't think Ivan's treatment was as effective as Guizhong.

Sophia is anxious about this. Chen Cheng's explanation is that it is possible that Gui Zhong's illness was originally a little milder than Ivan's. Sophia takes into account the reality of her family. Thirteen children died so much that only a few were left now, and the men were all crippled, and she couldn't help but believe it.

In fact, none of these people could imagine that Chen Cheng had guessed wrong. It is true that Gui Zhong's illness is slightly milder than Ivan's, but this is not the decisive factor.

There are two reasons why the return bell is better.

First, it was eaten with bear bile for the first time when Gui Zhong took it, and the essence of Gui Yuan Dan was Chinese patent medicine. Chinese medicine is very particular about the introduction of drugs for the first time. Ivan had tried the drug more than once in the past, and his first dose was wasted.

Second, this prescription came from Dr. Li of Western Xia. Dr. Li's medication is always suitable for Chinese. You must know that later generations of medical experiments will be adjusted by conducting multiple clinical experiments for different races. But there are too few cases for Kim to observe, and there are no adjustments. In the end, the effect on the return bell is much more obvious.

Of course, it's not that Ivan is without benefits. If he hadn't come out to test the medicine with a condition similar to him, he would never have been able to get an effective pill, and in the end, he would not have been cured at all. He will continue to live in the form of an imbecile and a cripple until death.

It's just that in the future, there will be more than one change of hands about the imperial power. As a fool who doesn't know anything, a fool has a fool's fortune, and no one hurts him. If he is not stupid, will it be a blessing or a curse for him?
