After more than half an hour of hard work, Ye Mingsheng collapsed on Pei Zhixiu's bed, his eyes slightly narrowed as if he was thinking about something...

Pei Zhixiu, who still had a hint of red on her pretty face, held a silver needle in her hand and performed acupuncture on Ye Mingsheng very seriously. Recently, due to long hours of work, Ye Mingsheng often suffers from soreness in his neck.

Now I just took this opportunity to ask Bae Ji Soo to diagnose and treat me.

Inserting the last silver needle into Ye Mingsheng's acupuncture point, Pei Zhixiu wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then whispered to Ye Mingsheng;

"Don't move your body!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly. Seeing this, Pei Zhixiu came to Ye Mingsheng and gently pressed Ye Mingsheng's temples with her jade hands. Pei Zhixiu's technique seemed very gentle, but the strength was just right.

Ye Mingsheng almost shouted out.

Enjoying Pei Zhixiu's delicate clothes, Ye Mingsheng suddenly thought of something and said immediately:

"When did you and your mother have such a harmonious relationship?"

Hearing Ye Mingsheng's words, Pei Zhixiu rolled her eyes at him and said:

"When did my relationship with my mother stop being harmonious?"

Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng opened his eyes and looked at Pei Zhixiu's delicate face, as if he wanted to see some clues. Ye Cui, who was born in the Cui family, still attaches great importance to the lintel. Previously, because Ye Mingsheng loved Pei Zhixiu very much,

She felt very sorry for An Miaoyi and made several insinuations to ask Ye Mingsheng to pay attention to An Miaoyi's feelings.

In addition, she is also very cold towards Pei Zhixiu. Sometimes when Pei Zhixiu goes to serve tea, the old man doesn't look good on her and always has a cold face. Ye Mingsheng also tried to take advantage of this several times.

Adjustment, but it is always powerless. However, judging from how kind Ye Cui is to Pei Zhixiu today, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been greatly improved...

·····

Under the annotation of Ye Mingsheng's eyes, Pei Zhixiu looked calm and did not explain anything. Seeing that Pei Zhixiu was unwilling to say anything, Ye Mingsheng did not ask further questions. Anyway, no matter what the reason, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can be improved, and it is he, Ye,

Things that are fun to hear and see.

After pressing the incense for about half a stick, Pei Zhixiu saw that the time was almost up, so he pulled out the silver needle inserted into Ye Mingsheng. As the silver needle was pulled out, Ye Mingsheng felt refreshed and troubled.

His neck pain for many days has been relieved to a great extent, and he can now turn his neck freely.

"Your neck problem has not been completely solved. You will need acupuncture twice in ten days. Also, you should not overwork yourself and sit in the house for long periods of time. Otherwise, no matter how much acupuncture and massage you do, you will still feel the same.

It’s no use! Your body is the most important, you can put those government affairs aside!” Pei Zhixiu warned Ye Mingsheng softly:

Feeling the lady's concern, Ye Mingsheng shaved Pei Zhixiu's smooth face, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I will listen to you this time!"

Pei Zhixiu seemed to feel a lot more relieved after receiving Ye Mingsheng's promise. When the two were sleeping hugging each other on the bed, Pei Zhixiu hesitated and whispered:

"Ms. sir, I have something to tell you..."

Ye Mingsheng, who was already very tired and a little dazed, subconsciously responded when he heard the words.

"Um?"

"Some of the medicinal materials in my medical clinic are about to be used up. I want to go out to collect medicines in a while!" Pei Zhixiu said softly:

After Pei Zhixiu finished speaking, Ye Mingsheng, who was very sleepy, cheered up and said nonchalantly:

"Zhixiu, make a list for me of any medicinal materials you need, and I'll ask Huo San and the others to find them for you. Just let them pick as many as you want!"

Listening to Ye Mingsheng's answer, Pei Zhixiu, who was lying in Ye Mingsheng's arms, her beautiful eyes flickered a few times and continued:

"What I want is a very precious medicinal material, and the growing environment is very hidden. They don't know it. Only people who are very familiar with pharmacology can pick one or two plants. I will go there in a few days and come back immediately, okay?

?”

Hearing Pei Zhixiu acting coquettishly with him for the rare occasion, Ye Mingsheng, who was already too sleepy to open his eyes, said without having time to think about it:

"Okay! Go and come back quickly when the time comes. Don't stay outside for too long!"

"Um!"

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng agreed, a smile appeared on Pei Zhixiu's face, and her red lips gently pecked Ye Mingsheng's face.

Perhaps Pei Zhixiu's acupuncture and massage had an effect. Ye Mingsheng slept very comfortably and peacefully. When he opened his eyes in the early morning of the next morning, he found that the sunshine outside was already very bright...

················

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng, who was slowly regaining consciousness, looked at his side. At this time, there was nothing around him except for a faint scent. Ye Mingsheng subconsciously shouted:

"Someone is coming!"

Before Ye Mingsheng could finish his words, a pretty maid of eighteen or nineteen years old walked in from the door and asked Ye Mingsheng timidly:

"Sir, do you have any orders?"

Seeing this little maid, Ye Mingsheng thought about it for a moment, and then he recognized her identity. She was Xiao Wen beside Pei Zhixiu. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng said without hesitation:

"Where did your wife go?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Xiaowen seemed a little afraid and Ye Mingsheng whispered:

"Madam has gone to Changshan Medical Clinic. She asked me to stay and serve you! Hot water and clothes are ready!"

Ye Mingsheng heard this and continued to ask:

"What time is it now?"

Xiaowen said without thinking:

"It's two o'clock!"

Hearing this answer, Ye Mingsheng shook his head helplessly. It turned out that it was already so late. At this time on weekdays, he had already been working in the study for more than an hour, but now he had just gotten up, but he had not slept at all.

It’s so comfortable...

"Where is Ye Cheng?" Ye Mingsheng pondered for a moment and then asked:

"Butler Ye is waiting outside the door!"

Ye Mingsheng heard the words and ordered without hesitation:

"You ask him to prepare the official documents I need to deal with today, and then ask the kitchen to make me a bowl of scallion noodles!"

"yes!"

After receiving Ye Mingsheng's order, Xiaowen followed the order and left.

After washing up and changing clothes, Ye Mingsheng hurried to his study, where he enjoyed a bowl of steaming scallion noodles with full flavor. Ye Mingsheng started a new day of work.

After dealing with the Chief Secretary's tax reduction plan for the Zhuoxian area, the reward plan for the meritorious officers and soldiers of the First Division, and other government affairs, the time came to noon unknowingly.

Originally, Ye Mingsheng planned to continue working and make up for the time he had missed because of getting up. However, he unknowingly remembered Pei Zhixiu's warning last night, and immediately made up his mind to put down what he was doing, walked out of his study, and put on his clothes.

After passing through several corridors, Ye Mingsheng came to the back courtyard of the mansion. Breathing the fresh air in the back garden, Ye Mingsheng began to practice Bajiquan.

In order to keep his body healthy and not overtax his body, Ye Mingsheng decided to pick up his Bajiquan again. No matter if he is busy at work, he must take time to practice it and move his body. Otherwise, he will never move his body.

Rusty····················

While punching, Ye Mingsheng recalled what happened last night. He always felt that something was wrong. After finishing a set of punches, Ye Mingsheng asked Ye Cheng, who was waiting aside:

"Is Wang Xuecheng in Yijing?"

Faced with Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Ye Cheng hesitated for a moment and then gave an affirmative answer.

"Sir, Director Wang should be in Yijing now. He has made a reservation to report to you tomorrow!"

Ye Mingsheng heard this and directly ordered:

"Give me some time to push back the afternoon's affairs, and ask Wang Xuecheng to come see me immediately!"

Although he didn't know what Ye Mingsheng wanted to do by calling Wang Xuecheng in such a hurry, feeling the urgent tone in Ye Mingsheng's words, Ye Cheng also realized that there must be something important and immediately bowed and responded:

"Yes! I'll do it right away!"

As Ye Mingsheng's attendant, although Ye Cheng had some flaws in doing things, his efficiency was still very good. It only took him a stick of incense to bring Wang Xuecheng from home to Ye Mingsheng. Without waiting for Wang Xuecheng

Seeing the gift, Ye Mingsheng asked directly:

"Is there anything going on over at East Island?"

Under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Wang Xuecheng pondered for a moment and said:

"The East Island side has been very calm recently, and the situation of Ronin samurai sneaking in has also been reduced a lot. If there is any movement, it is that the jounin of the Muto family came to the palace, and it seems that he wants to carry out some mission.

·······················”

Upon hearing this answer, Ye Mingsheng's eyes flashed with light and he said:

"No matter what they want to do, arrest them all immediately and find out for me what they want to do!"

Feeling Ye Mingsheng's murderous words, Wang Xuecheng bowed and said:

"Yes! Sir, I will get it done as soon as possible!"

After saying this, Wang Xuecheng realized that he now had the opportunity to meet Ye Mingsheng, so he also reported in advance what he planned to report to Ye Mingsheng tomorrow:

"I would like to inform you that there is an undercurrent surging in Gongdu Kingdom. According to our investigation, Li Xuanchang is actively wooing some royal palaces in Gongdu and striving to overthrow Li Xuanmin's throne. At present, several important officials in Gongdu have secretly expressed their support for Li Xuanchang.

In addition, Li Xuanchang has expressed to our army through some information channels that he is willing to recognize the Great Zhou Dynasty as the suzerain state of the Gongdu Kingdom. The Gongdu Kingdom is protected by the Fengwu Army and pays tribute to the Fengwu Army every year. His request is that we

The army supports him to become the new King of the Palace!"

"On Lee Hyun-min's side, he seemed to have sensed some rumors and launched a round of purges in Ryugyong City. He also met with representatives of our army in Ryugyong and asked our army to send troops to station in the palace to help him.

To counter the rebellion, Li Xuanmin agreed to open the mining rights of ginseng in Gongdu to our army every year, and to offer 100 beauties from Gongdu and 100,000 taels of silver to our army every year...

········”

Hearing these, Ye Mingsheng fell into thinking. Last year, in order to eliminate the worries of entering the customs, he sent Yuan Song into the palace to kill Wang Kangxin and Shen Jianzhong, and destroyed most of the military power of the palace. However, in order to

Deploying the pass as soon as possible and investing as much limited power as possible into the pass, Ye Mingsheng did not take the opportunity to include Gongdu into the territory of the Fengwu Army. He just asked Gongdu for some benefits and then withdrew his troops.

But now that the Fengwu Army has fully controlled Youyan, and there has been no major war in a short period of time, now may be a perfect opportunity to gradually annex the palace capital!

After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng asked Wang Xuecheng:

"I remember you reported to me before that this Li Xuanmin is lustful, moody, and cruel. He is not very popular in the palace, is he?"

Wang Xuecheng nodded and said;

"Your Majesty, this is the case! Lee Hyun-min is by no means a wise man. Wang Kangxin was suppressing him before, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. But after we killed Wang Kangxin, and he took the opportunity to monopolize power, his true nature was undoubtedly exposed!"

At this point, Wang Xuecheng hesitated for a moment, and then suggested to Ye Mingsheng:

"Sir, it seems that Lee Hyun-min is hopeless. Even if we help him get through this difficulty this time, as long as he does not know how to restrain himself and continues to be so reckless, sooner or later there will be another time. He will always beg for help.

Let our army wipe his butt..."

Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng asked lightly with slightly raised eyes:

"Since you don't support Lee Hyun-min, what do you think is that you want to support Lee Hyun-chang as the new King of the Palace?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Wang Xuecheng shook his head and said:

"Sir, I do not support Li Xuanchang!"

"Li Xuanmin and Li Xuanchang are two completely opposite people. Li Xuanmin is reckless, while Li Xuanchang is working hard to govern. I heard that in order to keep himself alert at all times, he deliberately asked people to ask him every day if he had forgotten his mission to revitalize the palace!

"

"I believe that the reason why Li Xuanchang is willing to sign an alliance with our army is just to treat our army as a snake. When he truly takes power from the palace, he will definitely accumulate strength and strive to get rid of our army's control. By then, he will

A counterattack is also very possible!"

"So even if you support Lee Hyun-min, you cannot support Lee Hyun-chang!"

Listening to Wang Xuecheng's categorical words, Ye Mingsheng became interested and asked:

"You neither support Li Xuanmin nor Li Xuanchang, so what do you want to do, Wang Xuecheng?"

Wang Xuecheng heard this and said very solemnly:

"The idea of ​​a humble position is very simple. What our army needs in the palace is an easy-to-control puppet. Li Xuanmin is too troublesome, and Li Xuanchang is difficult to control, so neither of them is the best choice for our army. Our army can respond

Li Xuanmin's request was used as an excuse to send troops into the palace and let the two men fight each other. Our army finally cleaned up the mess and chose a person who was in line with our army's interests to take over...
