After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 276 276 Exploitation
At this time, they don't need to say anything, but they can understand each other's voice and friendship.

I have experienced too much this day, no matter my body and mind are in a state of extreme support, once I relax, I will soon feel sleepy.

Shen Qingci had long held back his stomach for questions, but his eyelids couldn't stand it anymore.

In addition, looking at Sheng Tingye's extremely weak appearance, she didn't try to force herself to find out the truth, and just fell asleep obediently in his arms.

Open your eyes again, the sky is already bright.

If it wasn't for hearing the birdsong outside, Shen Qingci would not know how long he would sleep.

The quilt around him was already cold, and Sheng Tingye had already got up to deal with official documents before the case.

Shen Qingci only made a slight movement before he noticed it.

The moment their eyes met, the two couldn't help but smile heartily.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Isn't it cold to wear so little?"

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

He was thinly dressed, not even a cloak.

This wooden house was no better than their palace, there was only a pot of charcoal fire in the room, and Shen Qingci felt a biting coldness creeping up his whole body as soon as he got up together.

Shen Qingci thought that he had such a serious injury on his body and got up to work hard before he recovered, it was a bit embarrassing.

But she just got up, and Sheng Tingye had already walked to the bed one step ahead of her, and raised his hand to take the fox cloak beside her and put it on her.

"After staying on the colder Qianku Ridge for a long time, I don't feel so cold when I go down the mountain."

While speaking, Sheng Tingye turned around and poured her a cup of hot water, wrung out the handkerchief and wiped her face.

This is a servant girl's work, but he seems to be able to do it with ease.

"I'm already asleep."

Shen Qingci wiped her face, and subconsciously wanted to ask Wang Baoqin, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered the sour and jealous joke he made last night, and she subconsciously swallowed it.

In order to prevent a narrow-minded person from getting awkward early in the morning, Shen Qingci quickly dismissed the idea, thinking that he would go and see it himself later.

However, although she didn't speak, Sheng Tingye seemed to see what she was thinking at a glance.

He casually took the cup of tea she had just drunk, took a sip naturally, and then said calmly: "If you want to care about your little sister, just tell me, I'm not such a narrow-minded person."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci's eyes lit up and said: "Really? So you don't mind?"

Who would have thought that Sheng Tingye asked without answering, "So, did you really think of her situation when you opened your eyes?"

Shen Qingci: "..."

What about being broad-minded?

Shen Qingci didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly coaxed: "No way, I know that the first thing I care about is my husband."

"I asked you if you were cold."

"Besides, I personally bandaged and applied medicine to the wound on your body. How can I still not know the situation?"

Sheng Tingye was really useful. Seeing his expression softened, Shen Qingci asked, "I suddenly thought of Ah Zheng."

She pays special attention to Wang Baoqin, Sheng Tingye is a little tasteful, and Lin Yunzheng, who is of the opposite sex...

However, Wang Baoqin was by her side, and she could check at any time, while Lin Yunzheng was far away in Yunzhou City, so she could only find out about the situation through Sheng Tingye.

Before Shen Qingci finished speaking, Lin Yunzheng was mentioned, and Sheng Tingye's mouth curled into a faint smile.

It's just that there was a chill in that smile no matter how you looked at it.

He smiled and said, "It's okay, you are just childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts who share weal and woe as brothers and sisters."

Shen Qingci's eyelids twitched.

The mention of Wang Baoqin just now might have been a joke, but when it comes to Lin Yunzheng, it is absolutely true.

Sure enough, he changed the subject in the next moment, "Speaking of which, my aunt gave me such a big gift this time, so I should think about how to thank her."

Speaking of the word "thank you", no matter how you hear it, there is a cold killing intent.

Shen Qingci couldn't help but put away his joking tone, and said with a little worry: "How is Ah Zheng doing in Yunzhou City?"

Although he had heard the news from Sheng Tingjing's people yesterday that the overall situation was settled, Lin Yunzheng should be fine.

But the current situation is so chaotic, Shen Qingci is always worried that he has not seen anyone.

Moreover, Shen Qingci believed that Lin Yunzheng did not know about the eldest princess' arrangement.

Seeing Sheng Tingye's appearance like this, she must be planning to go back to the eldest princess and the Lin family. She was really afraid that she would accidentally hurt Lin Yunzheng.

Sheng Tingye helped Shen Qingci to sit in front of the case.

Ting Lan outside the house heard the movement, and brought in a cup of boiled red bean barley porridge.

Sheng Tingye waited for Shen Qingci to finish eating before handing her the latest news report about Yunzhou City that he had just received.

Of course, Lin Yunzheng's personal soldiers had captured Yunzhou City, Yao Zhaofeng had been captured, and both the Zhang family and the Yao family had been brought under control.

However, in this battle, Lin Yunzheng, who took the lead, also suffered a lot of injuries. Although they were not fatal, the combination of large and small ones was not easy. He is still lying on the bed and yelling.

Lin Yunzheng's counselor Lin Yu is taking care of the inside and outside of Yunzhou City today.

And this Lin Yu is actually Sheng Tingye.

Sheng Tingye just borrowed Lin Yunzheng's name to sort out and control Yunzhou City and even Qiankuling in his hands.

With Lin Yunzheng's "potential", the Lin family will not be in a difficult situation. People from other families also dare not take a share of the pie for the time being due to the face and power of the eldest princess and the Lin family.

As for why Lin Yunzheng was willing to go against the wishes of his mother and the whole family, and happily pretended to be sick and let him go...

Thinking of this, Sheng Tingye subconsciously looked at Shen Qingci, who was seriously reading the newspaper beside him.

As a man, why couldn't he see what Lin Yunzheng's eyes meant when he looked at Shen Qingci.

Fortunately, Shen Qingci chose him.

If Lin Yunzheng dares to covet again...

Fortunately, he is still sensible, otherwise, Sheng Tingye can't guarantee what he will do.

Before he received a secret letter from Shen Qingci in Qiankuling, seeing her complaining that Sheng Tingjing was a lunatic, Sheng Tingye couldn't help thinking that it was because Sheng Tingjing couldn't love her.

If he were Sheng Tingjing, he might do something crazier than Sheng Tingjing.

Their brothers are exactly the same as his father, almost engraving the attributes of paranoia and madness into their bones.

Inadvertently, Sheng Tingye's thoughts went a little far.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that Shen Qingci was staring at him without blinking.

"You want to take the area around Yunzhou...for yourself?"

Sheng Tingye was not surprised that Shen Qingci saw through his thoughts at a glance.

He took out a defense map of the Yunzhou area from the scroll at the side, and spread it out in front of Shen Qingci.

"There are also private mines that can be mined elsewhere. Madam, you know why the Zhang family chose this place."

Shen Qingci turned her head to look, she pointed to a few places, and analyzed carefully: "This place is located in the Sanjiang River Basin, the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River. Not to mention the wealthiest, there is also the natural barrier of Qiankuling."

"This is a place that has always been contested by military strategists. It can be attacked when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. No matter how bad it is, as long as you cross the Han River, it is not impossible to rule across the river."

These were all analyzed before preparing to attack Qiankuling.

Other places may also be able to mine private mines quietly, but they are not as unique as Yunzhou.

Shen Qingci looked at Sheng Tingye's intention to take the Zhang family's business here for decades as his own?
But... how is this possible?

The Zhang family and Sheng Tingjing are still nesting here and doing nothing, but they were ordered by the sage to uproot them. What is Sheng Tingye going to do?
As if seeing the confusion in Shen Qingci's heart, Sheng Tingye took a cinnabar pen aside and circled several counties near Yunzhou.

"With Sheng Tingjing's lesson before us, of course we can't steal it secretly, we have to do it clearly."

Looking at the several places enclosed by Sheng Tingye, and pondering over this sentence, Shen Qingci quickly realized.

The case of the Zhang family's rebellion in Yunzhou happened suddenly and involved a lot.

Even if Sheng Tingjing, Zhang Zongyao and others were escorted back to Beijing, and after three joint trials and other procedures, it would take at least three months before the final decision was made.

And during this time, what should Yunzhou do?
In Yunzhou now, there are not only the Zhang family rebels who narrowly escaped death, the refugee miners who escaped from Qiankuling, the defenders who surrendered after Yunzhou City was defeated, and nearly [-] soldiers brought by Lin Yunzheng.

It's a mess, a mess.

And the nearby state capitals are almost all the offshoots of the other three major families, which originally checked and balanced each other, and with the refugees pouring out of Yunzhou, the initial balance was already precarious.

If Yunzhou City is assigned to any of them, it will definitely cause a turmoil.

There may not be gunpowder and bloodshed in the court battle, but the hidden dangers buried are far more terrifying and far-reaching than real swords and guns on the battlefield.

And for a saint who has played the art of checks and balances all his life, he is most unwilling to see that kind of situation.

Therefore, until the case of Sheng Tingjing and the Zhang family's treason is completely settled, no one else can touch this piece of fat in Yunzhou. Anyone who intervenes without authorization will cause disputes and arguments.

Only Lin Yunzheng was still in Yunzhou.

But Lin Yunzheng didn't care about these, and just threw his hands away to "Lin Yu".

No matter how rapidly the situation in the DPRK and China changed, and no matter what the saint's plans were after three months, at that time, Sheng Tingye had already firmly held Yunzhou in his hands.

Although in the name of Lin Yunzheng.

It's a good idea, but it's not a long-term solution after all.

Right now, the sage doesn't care about it, and if he finds out later...and it will be a big test for Lin Yunzheng.

If it is said that the tree attracts the wind, his tree is already enough to show off, even if the saint is his own uncle...

But this day, even the biological father and son of the family are plotting against each other, let alone the uncle and nephew.

Shen Qingci suddenly felt that he must have missed some key point.

She leaned her body against the desk, rested her chin on her elbow, and looked at Sheng Tingye curiously: "Aside from anything else, what are you going to do with those two?"

She hasn't even asked how Sheng Ting Zhao and Sheng Ting Jing are doing now.

However, it shouldn't be much better if it falls into Sheng Tingye's hands.

But one thing is certain, Sheng Tingye will not kill them for the time being.

Sheng Tingye had already put down his cinnabar pen, turned his head to look at Shen Qingci who was lazily leaning aside, he raised his hand, and gently pinned a strand of her hair behind her ear, before saying calmly : "Naturally wait a few days for Lin Yunzheng's health to recover, and send them back to Beijing."

He said "they".

Needless to say, Sheng Tingjing, but Sheng Tingzhao?

Shen Qingci couldn't help frowning: "You mean to tie up Sheng Tingzhao and send him back to Beijing?"

How to tie it?
For what reason?
Facing Sheng Tingye's black eyes, and seeing that he was determined in everything, Shen Qingci couldn't help frowning: "Use your 'death' as ​​a raft?"
