Xia Zhaoyi slept for a long time, and it wasn't until the next day that she opened her eyes in bed.
Her head no longer hurts, but she feels dizzy. There is sticky sweat all over her body, but as soon as the sweat comes out, her body seems to be much better.
There were two maids guarding the room. When they saw her waking up, they hurriedly stepped forward to show concern.
Xia Zhaoyi got up to wash up, took a hot bath, drank a bowl of lean meat porridge, and then began to deal with the letters sent in the past few days.
The sky outside the house gradually turned brighter, and the sunlight shone in through the window lattice, falling on the words "Lingde", "Shen Lie" and "Xie Zhong" on the letter.
Due to the lack of information and underdeveloped transportation, Ling De's story has only now spread throughout the world.
Jin Hongkang was furious again.
Also, the object of his anger is also very strange.
It was clear that the person who was dominating Lingde and causing trouble was Xie Zhong and Qian Fengrong, but all the measures taken by Jin Hongkang in the letter were all aimed at Shen Lie.
Jin Hongkang even put pressure on Tanzhou.
Xia Zhaoyi still doesn't know what kind of attitude there is in Tanzhou, but if he is worried, he doesn't seem to be concerned. It may be due to the topography of Tanzhou.
This terrain is not because of trust in the people in Tanzhou, thinking that they can use the terrain advantage to declare war with Jin Hongkang for Shen Lie, but because of the advantage of Tanzhou's terrain, even if Shen Lie leaves Tanzhou, there is still a huge Let him have his way beyond the borders.
But Jin Hongkang really had a hole in his head and hated Shen Lie deeply.
Xia Zhaoyi put away this letter and opened the next one.
It belongs to Wang Fengnian.
Xia Zhaoyi read it calmly, blinked, and picked up the previous letter.
Wang Fengnian mentioned Shu Xiaoqing in his letter and hoped that Xia Zhaoyi would stay in Hejing for a few more days. He had plans for Shu Xiaoqing.
The reason why Wang Fengnian has been controlling Shu Xiaoqing is because Shu Xiaoqing has a close relationship with Chu Zheng and Shu Yuezhen.
He always felt that he could use the relationship between Shu Xiaoqing and Shu Yuezhen to deal with Yan Qinglin.
Wang Fengnian has been thinking about and arranging how to use it specifically.
Now, he said in the letter that arrangements have been made.
In fact, Xia Zhaoyi is in no hurry when dealing with Yan Qinglin.
In the past six months, she had focused most of her attention on Li Qian. Now that Queen Nangong is "dead" and Lu Mingfeng is about to die, Li Zhi's emotional support and spiritual support are slowly falling.
In two days, Mingtai County will give Li Ju a big gift, and Xia Zhaoyi can't wait to see Li Ju's complete collapse.
Then she packed up and headed north to find Jin Hongkang, Yan Qinglin, and Song Zhiyi, the so-called "new emperor" who was hiding behind Jin Hongkang and Yan Qinglin.
Reading and replying to letters, while the maid brought soup and medicine, time slowly disappeared under the early morning sunlight.
At around midnight, a strong wind suddenly blew outside, and the sun, which had only just emerged, was obscured by dark clouds. However, under the dim sky, the streets were more lively than when it was sunny.
Every household took out the white cloth and flags that had been prepared for the whole day and night. No one on the street was wearing any colors, they were all wearing dark gray plain clothes.
Neighbors with a little power began to organize people to cry outside the palace city, and some people gathered people there to give speeches in a rather emotional way, saying with tears how good and kind Queen Nangong was.
Xia Zhaoyi listened quietly, with a hint of humor suddenly appearing on his face.
Zhan Ning, who had just gotten up and came here not long ago, asked curiously: "Second Miss, what did you think of?"
Xia Zhaoyi said lightly: "Queen Nangong is indeed kind, but she has lived in the palace for a long time, and she can't do anything for the people of Hejing. Even though she has entered the cold palace, she still has enough food and clothing. Compared with these people who are running around for a living. Common people, I don’t know how many times stronger.”
Zhan Ning was startled: "Second Miss, this is how you view Queen Nangong."
"It's not about how I view Queen Nangong. Queen Nangong has always stayed out of the situation. What I find absurd now is these people. Or maybe it's not these people. After all, no one knows how to kneel three times and kowtow nine times from birth. Their love and admiration for the emperor and the royal family are not something they are born with."
On the one hand, he knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, shouting long live the emperor. Even when he saw the emperor, he was so excited that his eyes filled with tears.
On the other hand, the emperor has the power of life and death. He wants them to live or to die, all in one thought.
So unequal, so terrible.
Zhan Ning was quiet for a while and whispered: "Second Miss, I thought of the three words your master left for you."
"Life is difficult for common people." Xia Zhaoyi said slowly.
"Um."
Xia Zhaoyi stood for a while, then turned back to the desk.
She did not sit down, but looked down at the letters on the table. The letters she had just received were piled on top of each other on the table.
"I'm going to find Shen Lie," Xia Zhaoyi suddenly said, "If you're confused, talk to him."
"Well, I'll go with you."
Once again, he went out through the back door and entered through the back door.
Both of them are large shops. Even though they are separated by a wall, there is still quite a long way to go.
When Zhan Ning followed Xia Zhaoyi into the backyard of the Dengqian teahouse, he glanced at the toilet over there, and then looked at the girl walking in front.
Speaking of which, this matter is really a bit subtle. For such a transparent and intelligent second lady, she is still confused about where the injury on her back came from...
Just when I thought of this, I saw their second young lady walking, and raised my hand to gently press on her back.
"It's really weird," Xia Zhaoyi murmured the most in the past two days, "How did I get hurt?"
"Second Miss, does it hurt again?" Zhan Ning asked guiltily and worriedly.
"It's okay." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Alas, Zhan Ning sighed in his heart.
When Ye Zheng heard that Xia Zhaoyi and Zhan Ning were coming, he rushed over immediately and said sheepishly: "Good morning, Miss Ali, my young master had something to do yesterday afternoon..."
"Isn't he back yet?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
"Um……"
Zhan Ning was curious: "Did you tell me where you went and why you were there for so long?"
As he said that, Zhan Ning suddenly had a sense of mischief and said hey: "Are you going to meet a sweetheart?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Ye Zheng said quickly, "How can my young master have any romantic interests?"
If it really does exist, then that's it...
Ye Zheng quietly looked towards Xia Zhaoyi.
Touching the girl's bright and beautiful snowy eyes, he quickly avoided looking.
Zhan Ning became more enthusiastic: "General Shen is twenty-one or two, has he ever been in love before?"
"How is it possible?" Ye Zheng said immediately.
"Oh my god, how could it not be possible? General Shen has beautiful trees in the wind, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. There should be tons of people staring at him wherever he goes!"
His exaggerated tone made Xia Zhaoyi look sideways at him.
But Ye Zheng was very pleased with it and said with joy: "That's true. My young master is extremely handsome. Ever since he was a child, he couldn't help but look at him whether he liked it or not."
Zhan Ning said: "Then why don't you have a good relationship?"
Ye Zheng didn't dare to talk nonsense and said, "I don't know. Otherwise, if you saw him today, you would ask him face to face?"
"Second Miss," Zhan Ning looked at Xia Zhaoyi, "Are you curious?"
