A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 215
Jiang Taohua has been sleeping very deeply lately, despite the noise outside, she still didn't wake up.Shen Zaiya lit the lamp, sat down beside her bed, and frowned at her face.

It's only been less than two months, why is she even more haggard?Touching the cheeks, there is not much flesh left.She was clearly falling asleep, but her brows were still tensed, was she having a nightmare?
He just planned to come over to see how she was doing, he didn't have time to stop too much, and it would be safe to leave the city immediately.With this in mind, Shen Zaiye took off his coat and lay down beside her.

Taohua turned over, stretched out her arms to hug his waist habitually, gradually loosened her brows, and slapped her mouth.

Cursing her lips, Shen Zaiye finally felt better. He reached out to brush the hair off her face, and patted her on the back lightly.

Zhan Lu came in from the outside, and was about to say something, when he saw the scene, he immediately covered his eyes with a slap, and exited and closed the door.

"Why?" Qingmoss looked at him with complicated emotions: "Can't you intercede for me?"

Zhanlu shook his head, pulled her aside and said, "It's not impossible, but it's not convenient now."

inconvenient?Qingmo was taken aback, glanced at the main hall, frowned and said: "My master fled from Zhao country and opposed the prime minister, isn't the prime minister angry?"

"Why aren't you angry?" Zhan Lu chuckled, "Master was so angry that he couldn't sleep well for several days."

"Then..." Then why are you so gentle now?
"Master Xiang is a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person. He knows your master's thoughts, and when he is angry, when he hears that your master is not feeling well, why don't you ask someone to take care of you along the way, fearing that something will happen to her?" Sighed helplessly. With a sound, Zhan Lu said: "In fact, Mr. Xiang is a very good person. If your master can be more considerate of him, the two of them must be Qin Se and Ming."

"Forgiveness?" Qingmo frowned: "Isn't my master considerate enough for Xiangye? When I was in Dawei, although I always wanted to find a way for myself to survive, the roads I could choose were all able to help Xiangye. She was the one who was stubborn." I'm soft-hearted, my hand was tied into a sieve for embroidering a robe, and I didn't ask for rewards, and I worked from morning to night to cook a few dishes, and in the end, the master probably didn't eat."

Zhan Lu was taken aback: "Is it the lady who stayed at the table in Zhengchun Pavilion last time?"

"Yes." Qingmoss nodded: "She has been doing it for a long time."

"The madam put drugs in the wine, and the master noticed it, so he got even more angry and asked people to pour all the dishes." Zhanlu said dumbfoundedly: "Fortunately, I understand what the master is thinking, so I didn't take it seriously. I checked it. The next day, when it was hot, I sent it up again, and I ate it all."

He only ate that one meal, and after that, he couldn't let him lift his chopsticks for other dishes. After several days of tossing, he was forcibly fed down by Xu Yangui.

What did Clan Master Xu scold at that time?Bravely grabbing Grandpa's collar and yelling: "Are you a woman? If your lover runs away, you won't eat, drink, or die? Do you think you're really a god, and you still have the energy to do other things even if you don't eat anything?"

These words were for Xiangye's good, but the result was that he was still beaten up by Xiangye. Without saying anything, he told him with practical actions that he still had strength.

Xu Yan surrendered, lay on the ground and said helplessly: "You are such a lunatic!"

"I'm not crazy." Shen Zaiye said: "It's just that the food in the mansion is getting more and more unpalatable, it's just that I can't eat it."

Qingmo was stunned when she heard that, and said nana authentically: "Although my master's dishes are quite good, they are not better than the chef's cooking, right?"

"Why are you so stupid?" Zhanlu shook his head: "He doesn't like those dishes, he clearly cares about his wife's death, but he doesn't want to say it directly."

Qingmo was silent, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "Since the Lord cares so much about Madam, why did he still attack Zhao? Master will definitely not want Zhao to become a vassal of Wei."

"I don't understand this either." Stretching out his hand to support his chin, Zhan Lu said, "I have some thoughts, only these two masters know that we are followers, we can only obey orders."

Moss sighed, looked at the main hall which was still closed, and felt that the prime minister was probably going to spend the night here, so she simply pulled Zhanlu up to clean up the corpses, so that they could have a good rest.

Jiang Taohua hadn't dreamed of Shen Zaiye for a long time, but tonight after having a bloody nightmare, she actually dreamed of him.In the dream, Shen Zaiye hugged her tenderly, took her away from the sea of ​​blood, and stood on a high eaves.

"Why are you here?" she asked dazedly.

Shen Zaye smiled, looked down at her belly, and said, "Let me see our child."

child? !Taohua was startled, and hurriedly clutched her stomach guiltily.The expression of the person in front of her changed, and she frowned and asked her, "Are you lying to me?"

"...Didn't Xu Yangui tell you?" Taohua backed away again and again: "This child is fake!"

"Fake?" Shen Zaiye was furious, and immediately pushed her!With nothing under her feet, she plunged into the boundless sea of ​​blood.

"If you don't have children, then you go to die too!"

"what!"

The feeling of weightlessness pulled her out of the dream, Taohua opened her eyes, looked around blankly for a while, and found that she was in the palace, and the warm sunlight outside had already poured in through the carved gaps in the windows.

"Master?" Qingmoss opened the door and came in, bringing water to wipe her face: "What's wrong? Didn't sleep well?"

After taking a breath, Taohua rubbed her belly, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I had a nightmare."

This dream is also a bit scary, Xu Yangui should have told Shen Jaeye about her stomach, right?If you didn't say it, what should you do?
Woke up to wash up, Taohua was planning to find someone to inquire, when she saw her master and Chang Jue coming in from outside.

"Sister Huang." Chang Jue's expression was solemn: "Shen Zaiye has joined Emperor Wei, and is now thirty miles outside the capital, and there is no movement for the time being."

"En." Taohua nodded: "What about the situation in the court?"

"There are not many people who oppose my ascension to the throne, but more people keep silent and don't say their opinions." Jiang Changjue said: "There is nothing to worry about, but if there is a real fight now, I can't do it alone, and I will definitely die." Other generals, lieutenants and civil servants in the court will be used."

But I'm afraid that these people will not surrender to him wholeheartedly, but will cause trouble instead.

"Knowing people and making good use of them is something an emperor should have." Taohua patted him on the shoulder: "Sister believes in you."

Qian Baimei also smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, if anyone wants to betray you, I will personally take his life as a teacher!"

Reluctantly pulling Qianbaimei aside, Taohua shook her head and said, "Master, killing people can't solve all problems, you have to let Chang Jue find a way to balance the relationship between the DPRK and China, and find the key person to hold in your hands."

"I know." Qian Baimei looked at her with a smile: "But killing people is not useless at all, no, the remnants of the Lu family came to surrender early this morning."

ha?Jiang Taohua was a little surprised, she turned her head and asked Changjue, "Really?"

Chang Jue nodded: "The party headed by Leng Fengchang came to me early this morning, saying that they are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and follow me to guard the capital."

If I had known that Lu's disappearance would bring so many benefits, I would have asked Master to kidnap her early in the morning.Taohua clapped her hands, looked at him and said, "Then you can decide whether to use these people or not."

"Except for these people, there is no one else available." Jiang Changjue said, "I plan to try."

"Okay." Taohua asked him with a smile: "If there is anything else that needs the help of Huangjie and Master, just tell me."

"I understand." Chang Jue cupped his hands, bowed to them, and left in a hurry.There are still officials waiting outside, and they continue to report something when they meet him.

"Chang Jue has grown up." Looking at his back, Tao Hua said with emotion: "Before I knew it, I was already indomitable."

Qianbaimei stood beside her, nodded and said: "What you said is correct, but little guy, you are only under nineteen, why are you pretending to be old?"

"Master, my disciple's heart is getting old." Tao Hua said with a serious face: "People don't live by years, they live by heart. When heart is old, people are old."

"Nonsense." Qian Baimei shook his head: "You are still tender, seeing that Chang Jue can take care of himself, so don't worry too much and live your life better."

"It's his business that he grows up, and he should worry about it." Tao Hua blinked, and suddenly pulled Qian Baimei's sleeve in a fawning manner: "Master, can you take me out for a walk?"

Glancing at her sideways, Qian Baimei had a bad feeling: "Where are you going?"

"Leng Fengchang's house." Tao Hua said.

... As expected, she still had to worry, Qianbaimei was helpless, took out a cloak and wrapped it around her, and hugged her whole: "What can you do at his house?"

"Don't hand over the greeting card, let's go secretly." Taohua said slyly: "It's best to hide on the beams of the house, step on the eaves or something."

Dumbfounding whether to laugh or cry, Qianbaimei still complied, and sneaked into Fengchang Mansion with her protection, hiding on the beam of the family's study.

Leng Fengchang came back after a while, took a follower, sat down at the table and asked: "Have you found out the strength of Wei's troops?"

"I see." The attendant nodded: "I also found out the preferences of Emperor Wei and Prime Minister Shen."

"Very good." Leng Fengchang waved him out, then continued to read the letter in his hand.

Taohua didn't say a word, she listened in Qianbaimei's arms, and asked her master to take her away when he had something to leave.

"This Leng Fengchang seems to really want to help defend the city." Qian Baimei said, "I put in a lot of effort."

Tao Hua walked with her eyes downcast, and said in a low voice, "If he really works hard to defend the city, then that would be great."

Qianbai eyebrows froze for a moment, then frowned: "What I'm not good at as a teacher is competing with people in the court. If you think of something, you can discuss it with Chang Jue."

"En." Replied obediently, Tao Hua didn't intend to tell Chang Jue, but only called Qing Moss, and asked her to go to Fengchang Mansion to stay for a few more days.

With the army crushing the city, no matter how many opinions the civil and military officials had, they put it aside, and for the time being fully supported Jiang Changjue in defending the city.
