the first lady

Chapter 102

Qiao Yishu!Damn Qiao Yishu, he will never let him go!
After a long while, the eunuch reported that it was time to return to the palace.

It's really time for this busy work, especially now that it's autumn and it gets dark earlier.

"Your Majesty, the fifth princess is currently weak and cannot move. You might as well let the princess rest in the prime minister's residence for a while." Zong Zhengyi stepped forward and said, also doing a favor.

"Father, let me take care of Fifth Sister these days!" Helian Feiqin volunteered.

"Qin'er, you can feel at ease if you don't want someone to take care of your father." Emperor Wu relaxed a little, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Today's affairs should not be publicized. Besides, what the fifth princess said at the banquet today is known to all the officials. ,now……"

"Your Majesty, isn't there a summer resort for the royal family not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion? It's close to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the environment is good. Why don't you let Jing'er go to the villa to rest for a while?" Concubine De mentioned softly.

In the end, Concubine De's proposal was approved, and Helian Feijing also had the same idea, and she was unwilling to live in the Zong government no matter what.

When Emperor Wu and Concubine De returned to the palace, Helian Feiyan left with hatred in his heart, and the matter of Helian Feijing going to the Summer Resort was still left to the Xiangfu.

The wedding, which was originally brimming with joy, turned into a chaotic situation due to a lot of incidents.

If Qiao Yishu hadn't come, would the matter have been resolved?Although the mansion had returned to calm, Qiao Ling'er was still a little creepy after moving into a new room.

People in the royal family are indeed wolves in human skin. If they do something, they can keep themselves from being exposed, but they still make your life worse than death.

And they clearly knew that Helian Feiyan was the person who cast the voodoo, but they didn't have any evidence to prove it; moreover, even if Emperor Wu knew that Helian Feiyan was the person who injected the voodoo, he probably wouldn't do anything. It's just to fool people.

While thinking about it, there was a sudden moderate pressure on her shoulders, which made her relax after the initial surprise, because Zong Zhengyi was giving her a massage.

"Tired today?" Zongzheng Yi's characteristic pleasant voice came from behind.

"Hmm..." Qiao Ling'er responded, closing her eyes and enjoying the professional massage technique.

Tired, not physically tired, but a kind of mental tension.

"Dealing with people in the palace is really f*cking tiring." Qiao Ling'er was on fire in her heart, so it was natural for her to say what she wanted to scold when she was relaxing, but I haven't said it yet. react to.

The big palm of the massage suddenly paused before continuing. Zong Zhengyi really didn't expect her to say the three words "fuck", but for some reason, he heard these three curse words I didn't feel disgusted after writing the word, but thought it was very cute.

"Don't think about it when you're tired, just leave it to me in the future." A fifth princess and a Helian Feiyan really worried her today.

"You're not omnipotent, wouldn't it bother you if I leave it to you?" Qiao Ling'er leaned half on his body, humming angrily.

Hearing that Zongzhengyi smiled slightly, "I'm used to it."

"You want to say that getting used to it comes naturally?" Qiao Ling'er suddenly opened her eyes and looked up at him, the seriousness was obviously the flames that sprang up.

Seeing her unhappy eyes, Zong Zhengyi immediately knew that he had said something wrong, and said with a smile: "It's not natural, I hate it." This sentence is the truth.

"That's about the same." Qiao Ling'er closed her eyes again and enjoyed his massage, "If you accept the torture of those disgusting people naturally, you must be a masochist."

Zong Zhengyi couldn't help laughing when he heard that, but what she said was not bad, if he could get used to the almost perverted torture of the royal family like that, he would definitely become a masochist.

After a moment of silence, Qiao Ling'er suddenly opened her eyes again, grabbed his hand and turned around to ask, "By the way, what did Emperor Wu say before he left to go to Licheng? Who is going to Licheng?"

Indeed, before leaving, Emperor Wu declared again that he was going to Licheng to do business. Now that we have time for the two of us, he should also tell her.

"The imperial decree will come down in two days. I will go to Licheng to replace the emperor and arrest some corrupt officials and demagogues." Zong Zhengyi sat down in front of Qiao Ling'er.

Qiao Linger frowned slightly when she heard this: "How long will it be?"

"Li City is remote and deeply corrupt. The emperor wants me to clean it up before sending new officials there." Zong Zhengyi said tactfully.

"How long is it going to take?" Qiao Linger's face was already cold. She had also heard Zhang Tiesheng and others describe Licheng before, such a place where superstition spreads, plagues, and officials are corrupt. Actually want Zong Zhengyi to go? ? ?
Zong Zhengyi was silent for a moment, and then said conservatively: "At least a month."

"A month?" Qiao Ling'er suddenly raised her voice, and stood up, "You want to stay in that kind of place where the birds don't shit?"

Seeing Qiao Ling'er so surprised, Zong Zhengyi felt warm in his heart, pulled her back to sit down, and comforted him: "Ling'er, Li Cheng is actually not what you think."

"That's not that, what is that?" Qiao Ling'er almost roared, "The place that even the imperial court can't send people to, and it's so remote, Zhang Tiesheng also said there was a plague and other messes, isn't it? The kind of place where the birds don't shit?"

Zongzheng Yi was speechless immediately, so he had to pour tea to comfort her.

"Don't drink!" Qiao Ling'er took the cup in his hand and threw it on the table, "Tell me, why do you want to go, you are the prime minister, not an errand, why do you want to go to such a place?"

"Ling'er..." Zong Zhengyi yelled helplessly, "Li City is remote, but it is difficult to get there not because of the poor environment there, but because there is a huge mountain in the middle of going to Li City , the mountains are difficult to walk, so the relationship with the capital is alienated."

"But it's not an economically backward place? What if you go there and even have food and clothing?" Qiao Linger muttered.

"Ling'er, listen to me." Zong Zhengyi pulled the runaway woman to sit down again, and said in her aggrieved eyes: "Although Li City is remote, its economy is not backward. It can't be compared with Beijing and Mocheng, but the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation are no longer a problem. Although Zhang Tiesheng and the others you saw today are from a small town in Licheng, have you noticed that the black clothes on their bodies are not ordinary? Especially when they came out, they didn’t have time to pack their luggage, and they came all the way to the capital, but nothing happened. Do you think they live in a bad way?”

With such an explanation, Qiao Linger suddenly understood that when Zhang Tiesheng and the others went to other cities to sue the officials, they were ordered not to go back. There are valuable things.

"But, but...there is a plague there." Qiao Ling'er dropped the four fixed words "birds don't shit" and picked out a new question.

"That Heavenly Master Zhao can cure people's diseases with only some medicines. I believe that there must be another mystery in it." Zong Zhengyi said affirmatively.

Qiao Linger blinked, "You mean, this is definitely something like a plague planned by that group of people?"

Zongzheng Yi nodded cautiously, "The plague spreads rapidly, and it can only be alleviated slowly if treated together. However, the plague in Ouyang Town has been going on for such a long time. It is definitely not because of the pathogen, but because of the human problem."

"In other words, that might be the base camp dominated by this plague?" Qiao Linger followed his words to guess.

Zong Zhengyi nodded, "There is also the matter of Zhang Tiesheng and the others saying that officials and officials protect each other. As far as I know, Sun Zekang, the lord of Licheng, is not a superstitious person. If he is also on the side of superstition, there must be another conspiracy involved." .”

After a pause, Zong Zhengyi said again: "Furthermore, how can I watch that wizard kill such a cardamom girl?"

Looking into those obsidian-like eyes, Qiao Ling'er's nose suddenly became a little sore, and she felt a little awkward.

"But, but...but you've been away for so long, what should I do if I miss you?" Qiao Ling'er finished speaking in confusion, and then threw herself into Zong Zhengyi's arms.

In fact, maybe, maybe, maybe... This sentence is the main reason why she asked so many questions!At least a month, a month for such a long time, if she can't see him, she will be awkward, okay?
Zong Zhengyi was almost knocked down by the force of the impact, especially in the bottom of his heart, when he heard what she said——I miss you, what should I do?
An unprecedented sense of satisfaction poured into his heart. It's not that he didn't know what she was thinking, but he really never expected her to speak so bluntly, even though she was still shy.

However, for him, it was an unspeakable excitement and excitement.

Qiao Ling'er blushed, her heart was beating wildly, but she didn't want to take back what she said.

Zong Zhengyi didn't speak, but held her tightly in his arms. She said she would miss him, so what about him?She didn't know that now when she was dealing with official business, a figure of a woman would always appear in her mind intentionally or unintentionally, occupying his consciousness, making him wish to see her all the time.

That figure appeared in his sight when he thought he was insane, and made him feel normal again.

After going back and forth like this, Zong Zhengyi no longer knows how to describe himself!

"Zong Zhengyi, I've decided!" While Zong Zhengyi was still thinking, Qiao Linger suddenly pushed him away and spoke seriously.
