Chapter Sixty-Six: Frustrated

As soon as I opened my eyes, I looked at the sullen face of my boss Zhu holding a bowl of medicine. The choking smell was definitely added to the taste.

Fengling pinched her nose and turned away her face in an attempt to escape the punishment, complaining: "Si Zhu, can I discuss something with you? Next time we just change the medicine to small pills. In fact, I think, this decoction is 100%

Ninety-nine of them are water. If you drink it, it will turn into fertilizer. It’s useless.”

Sizhupi smiled but said, "Then I also want to discuss something with you. I might as well have this leg amputated, so that I don't have to run back and forth in and out of the palace. I feel more relaxed."

Fengling: "...I'd better drink."

She took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one breath without stopping. After drinking it, she felt so bitter that she wanted to scratch the bed board, "You must have taken coptis. I am familiar with this taste!"

Si Zhu raised an innocent smile: "Yes, after all, I am a person who does what I say."

Fengling almost turned away because of his heart attack.

Sizhu said: "Although Coptis chinensis is bitter, it can clear away heat and dampness, remove fire and detoxify. If you have a fever after being exposed to the rain, and your knees are inflamed due to repeated injuries, it will be more effective if you combine it with Coptis chinensis."

After hearing this, Fengling felt better, "Xiaozhu, I knew you were a good boy."

Si Zhu looked unhappy: "You and I were born in the same year. You are only one month older than me. Don't treat me like a child."

Fengling's eyes dimmed suddenly, and she asked with a smile: "Are you remembering it wrong? I didn't report my birth date when I registered to join the army. I am eighteen this year, and you are the same?"

After Si Zhu looked at her for a few more seconds, he also curled his lips and smiled. The smile looked harmless to Xiaojiabiyu's features, "Really, I'm just kidding you, but what a coincidence, I am also eighteen this year, maybe

We are literally a month apart."

Fengling's smile didn't reach her eyes, and her expression didn't change: "It's possible. But Xiaozhu, you are already a grown man. It's time to find a good family."

"The marriage was promised at home, but..." Si Zhu narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "It's just that something happened in the other party's family, and the person disappeared, so it has been delayed until now."

If this is true, Fengling is quite sympathetic and advises: "Since I have been missing for many years, it will not be easy to find me again. Your best years are only a few years away. If you delay it, it will be too late to regret. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity."

Now look at the people around you, there are still many outstanding girls, maybe you will find your own marriage."

"No." Si Zhu refused without thinking and said firmly: "I will find her."

"But what will you do if she has already married?" she asked casually.

Si Zhu raised his lower lip in a strange way and said quietly: "Since we have made an engagement, you are my people. Those who violate the covenant will not have a good end."

Fengling had an inexplicable uncomfortable feeling after hearing these words, but she could only laugh dryly and praise against her conscience: "You are a persistent and good boy."

only……

You are looking at what I am doing when you say these words. I am not your missing fiancée!

After Sizhu left, Fengling couldn't get out of bed due to a leg injury, so she could only stay in bed. She felt sore from lying down again and again, so she leaned against the bed with her head in a daze while thinking about details.

Too many things have happened these days. As soon as I wake up, I have to worry about the current troubles, plan how to survive, how not to expose myself, and there is no leisure time to look back and see what happened and whether there are any details that have been missed.

Now I am taking advantage of this moment to think about it carefully and put all my previous observations into perspective.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

After analyzing the observed clues, I discovered a lot of interesting things.

First of all, what is the purpose of Qi Xinai colluding with Duo Tuer? If it is against the Chen family, then Chen Juanjuan had already tried to provoke a war before she was granted the title, so the original purpose was not the Chen family.

It's probably aimed at the Prince.

First think about it from another angle, what benefits can Duo Tuer get from Qi Xinai? Duo Tuer brought a hundred thousand troops to the border, and the queen must have agreed to it because she was betting that she would win this time. Then all Duo Tuer wants is

Could it be a victory? What Qi Xinai and Duo Tuer exchanged was the success or failure of the war. Did she start the war to give Duo Tuer a victory?

But Qi Xinai would definitely not be stupid enough to send Fengyang away, so what else could she do as the chief assistant? How could she not keep a close eye on her after she finally got to the position?

Therefore, Qi Xinai will only give away a few cities in Weizhou, or at most the entire Weizhou. And what will she get, and what can Duoduer give her in exchange?

The matter traces back to the gossip I heard in the inn lobby a few months ago. Duo Tuer and the envoy came to Fengyang to marry and make good friends, but they had a quarrel with the emperor because of his filthy behavior in the harem, and then returned to Dongxu, and then

The army came over the border.

This series really went smoothly, as if it had been planned in advance.

Later, she discovered the identity of Duo Tuer's man, which further proved that there was something fishy about the harem. Either he was plotted against others, or he did it deliberately with a plan. At present, it seemed that it was the latter.

Marriage, stalemate, army pressure, collusion, victory in the battle, it seems that the two of them had already hooked up at that time.

The same question remains, what can Qi Xinai gain? With so much effort, could it be that he just wants Fengyang to lose the battle and cause instability in the people's hearts and cause chaos?

Just when I thought of this, a thought quickly flashed through my mind and was caught in time, and it seemed that the truth was revealed.

No, a defeat will have an impact, especially on the emperor who has only been in power for a few years.

A man can be in power and conquer all the powerful officials in Fengyang in a short period of time, not by benevolence but by iron-blooded methods. Under strong suppression, he must have secretly caused dissatisfaction among many old forces, and he has no control over the remaining soldiers.

With his military power and Qi Xinai's support, he swallowed his anger.

If Dongxu attacks the border and falls at this time, the people will inevitably be in chaos. People in the world will question the people in power in Fengyang, and many bad voices will emerge, and the rumors will get worse. At this time, those who oppose the emperor will

If the old forces unite to deal with him, or Qi Xinai unites with the old forces, the male emperor's situation will be very difficult.

Losing the support of Qi Xinai, it is not that difficult for the male emperor to step down. As long as he finds an opportunity to assassinate the male emperor, leaving the whole group without a leader, and then pushes a puppet to come up, Qi Xinai can feel at ease and secure his position as the chief minister.

After sorting it out, she suddenly felt that everything was in order. No wonder the emperor suddenly recalled Chen Juanjuan. This battle was a must win for him. If he lost, the throne would be unstable, but if he won, he would gain the support of the people and be promoted.

The Chen family's forces competed with Qi Xinai and won two birds with one stone!

No wonder he also secretly instigated relations between the two countries and stimulated the outbreak of war. It turned out that this was his purpose. He knew very well that the war would start. Rather than calm down, it would be better to take advantage of it. It was also a very beneficial opportunity for him.

After she figured it out, she pounded the bed board on the spot, gritting her teeth and looking fierce.

Great! After working so hard, I paved the way for him! What have you been fussing about these past few months? I almost want to give myself a "counting money for my enemies" award!

A mouthful of old blood is stuck in the throat and wants to come out

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

If she doesn't come, she will be angry.

Jinhua outside the door heard the noise and knocked on the door and asked: "Girl, what happened?"

Fengling replied expressionlessly: "Nothing, my hands are a little itchy."

Jinhua was worried: "My hands are itchy? Is it because of the cold weather that I have frostbite? Please go find the imperial doctor to find some ointment for the girl."

Fengling: "No, I want to rest. You can go do your own thing."

Hearing that she didn't want to disturb her, Jin Hua had no choice but to leave.

In the room, Fei Ling lay down on her back, opened her eyes quietly for a while, then sat up suddenly and climbed out of bed with difficulty, came to the desk, pulled out a piece of white paper, polished the pen and wrote down the words in one go.

Qi Xin Ai will not give up if his plan fails.

Already in opposition to the male emperor, we cannot retreat, we can only move forward.

As the Chen family ascends to power, there will be another force to compete with them.

Lost the help of Dotul.

No matter how you look at this, Qi Xin Ai loses, but she is still so arrogant today and doesn't show restraint. Could it be that...she still has a trump card?

Thinking of this possibility, Fengling became more solemn. As the two parties fought, the Chen family had to regain its vitality to compete with them, otherwise they would not even be qualified to participate in this chess game.

So what can she do?

It's better to help one party to get rid of the other party first, and then catch the oriole behind by surprise.

Just like Lan Yue back then, she would repay him how he treated her.

Finally, the pen tip wandered around and drew a circle on the three characters Qi Xin Ai, like a city wall surrounding it.

Putting down the pen, Fengling got into the wheelchair and pushed the door open, calling out: "Golden Flower? Golden Flower?"

Jin Hua was coming in from outside the yard, ran over and asked, "Girl, why are you out? You can't move around now."

She noticed the envelope he was holding, with the front side facing out and the word "Ling" exposed, "Do you have a letter?"

Jinhua shook her head and handed the letter to her and said, "This is the girl's letter. It was sent by the little stoker next to Tang Shangshu."

For a middle-aged Tang person, it should be a letter from Tang Shi. She opened the envelope and read it quickly on the spot. It was indeed a letter from Tang Shi. It probably meant that they were not in Tang Mansion now. Tang Shi had returned to the military camp to follow Chen Juanjuan and was promoted.

The slain god tortured him every day.

Zhang Baoxuan and Xiao Sese went with Tang Shi, but Zhang Tingyan refused and went home to inherit the business. She said that after experiencing life and death, she suddenly realized that the mall was more suitable for her, so she left. Tang Shi scolded her in the article for this.

He talked to her several times and said that next time when Fengling came out, we would go to Zhang Tingyan's shop to rip off the Overlord meal.

There is also Mu Mingran, who was taken to the Metropolitan Procuratorate by Qi Xinlin, and was scolded by Tang Shi.

Closing the envelope, Fengling felt that this arrangement was a bit strange. Since Zhang Tingyan had decided to join the army, let alone Zhang Tingyan, Mu Mingran's character would not back down halfway.

Although the war has reached an advanced stage, the army will not be dispersed. Is it necessary to ignore the opportunity of promotion by going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and starting from scratch?

However, her thoughts didn't mean anything. Maybe the two of them suddenly changed their minds and had their own plans.

Let’s not delve into this matter for now. It’s not too late to ask more carefully when we meet.

"Jinhua, where is Your Majesty?"
