Chapter 396 : Chapter 396 Reward - Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

Only then did Ling Qingyu realize that something was wrong with him. He put down the tea bowl and moved it in front of him. Seeing that his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood left, and the corners of his mouth were trembling slightly. He hugged him and called out: "Cheng Jia, Cheng Jia!”

Alan, who was blocked from the outside, stamped his feet and rushed to the waterside pavilion. He picked up Cheng Jia's hand and felt for his pulse, and then said to Ling Qingyu: "You should have seen that something was wrong with him, why did you let him talk here for so long? "

After his pulse felt for a few seconds, Alan's eyes widened and he said, "How long has it been since you last eaten?"

"Hunger strike?"

Resting his head on the soft chest, Cheng Jia shook his head slightly and said, "I just can't eat it."

"How long? How many days?" Alan asked, while shouting to the people standing far away: "Here comes a bowl of white porridge, the thinner the better!"

How many days has it been? Ever since you kicked me out that day, my body has been out of control. Although I knew this was not possible and forced myself to eat, my body still wouldn't accept it. In the past two days, I couldn't eat at all. Cheng Jia looked at Ling Qingyu had an anxious look on his face, but just smiled and said nothing.

He took out a pill from his pocket and stuffed it into him. Alan sighed and said: "I'm afraid it's been a while, right? I'm almost becoming the anorexic you mentioned last time, but that kind of thing is not done to lose weight. What? I mean Mr. Cheng, why are you joining in the fun with your figure?"

Because of the hot weather, Ling Qingyu and Alan's appetites are not very good. They often stew some white porridge on the stove so that they can make various flavors of porridge at any time. Now Alan asked for it, and it didn't take long to deliver a bowl of perfectly cooked white porridge. come over.

After taking a look at the white porridge, Cheng Jia stared at Ling Qingyu and asked, "Is the deal going to work?"

"What if I don't agree?" Ling Qingyu asked in confusion.

"Then Jia Ning refuses to eat."

"threaten me?"

"yes!"

"You have to know that your life is your own, and you are no longer a threat to me if you die. Think clearly!"

"If Jiaruo is dead, where are you going to find such good chess pieces for you to use?"

"You are taking advantage of the situation!"

"Forget it."

"Wait a minute, girl, what's the deal? What conditions did he put forward?"

"He said……"

"I helped her achieve great things, and she asked me to be her man."

"What's there to worry about? You don't have many men anymore? You're not a husband? What does it matter if you have one more or one less? Come on, come on, I'll accept it for her!"

Gently patting the stunned Ying Jiu, Yan Qi sighed: "Remember, scholars are so insidious, cunning, shameless and have no lower limit!"

When I agreed, I was reluctant in every possible way, but I heard Shuben talk about how miserable his young master was with tears streaming down his face, and I heard Alan say that his spleen and stomach were already very weak, and coupled with the previous strain, his health was indeed very bad. Looking back at Cheng Jia, who had been sleeping in bed after just drinking a bowl of porridge, there was a trace of indescribable emotion in her heart.

Cheng Jia had been awake for a while and saw that she was just standing in front of the window in a daze, and said softly: "You don't have to worry about it."

"What?" Ling Qingyu was stunned, and then said: "Cheng Jia, I don't care what your reasons are, but you should know that I can agree to you on any condition, but I can't give you love."

"I know," Cheng Jia smiled lightly and said in a soft voice, "Jia just wants to see you every day. Tomorrow is the 14th. You need an antidote, right?"

On July 14th, Ling Qingyu smiled wryly, then looked Cheng Jia up and down, curled up the corner of his mouth and said, "Is this the way you are?"

"How is Jia's health? Haven't you used it before?" Cheng Jia propped up his body, leaned on the head of the bed, and said with a smile.

Ling Qingyu's face suddenly turned red, he coughed several times, turned around and was about to leave, but heard Cheng Jia whispering from behind: "Wait, Ling Qingyu."

Seeing Ling Qingyu turn around, Cheng Jia stopped smiling and said: "There is something that I have never been able to figure out. If you want to overthrow the Zhou Dynasty this time according to what you said, the most direct way is to let Yan Qi and the others sneak into the palace and kill them. Emperor, once the emperor dies and there is no edict, the eldest prince and the second prince will naturally fight to the death for the throne. At that time, you can just watch from the side, there is no need to take risks yourself. Why do you want to go to Bianjing yourself? Come on, can you let Jia have a guess?"

Ling Qingyu looked at him, his face darkened slightly, and he turned back and closed the door.

He got out of bed holding the headboard and stood in front of Ling Qingyu. Cheng Jia said slowly: "As for the economy, you can definitely do it in a more drastic way. You have so much silver and copper coins, there is no need to worry about a little bit." To devalue, you can directly reduce the value of ten coins and banknotes to half. In that way, the economy will collapse faster, but the people will really bear the brunt, and they will be the first to starve to death. The reason why you use this method, On the contrary, it gave the people a buffer. Yang Zhao died unjustly. It is impossible for his generals not to want revenge. I found the military documents of the Ministry of War. When they withdrew from the pass, they did not return to the camp, but were still in the process of gathering and fighting. The war preparation state, the military document said to prevent Xiao Sui from attacking the pass, but they should have been preparing to attack Bianjing at that time, right? You asked them to stand still at Heishui Pass. First, you were afraid that if they really killed them like this, they would directly die. Once the Blackwater Pass is broken and the Liao army is allowed to attack, you will be the sinner of the nation! If you don't let Yan Qi and the others take action, it's because you are reluctant to let them go to their deaths. You say you want revenge. It can be sacrificed. In fact, you don’t want to sacrifice anyone. The only thing you do is come to this land of tigers and wolves to buy time for them. The only thing you sacrifice is yourself."

Sighing deeply, Ling Qingyu smiled and said: "I'm not as noble as you think. Really, when He Li and the others assembled the army, I didn't know. I know, I just want to retain my strength. I can't let them do that. Lose it. I naturally want to kill the emperor, but why do I want to kill Yan Qi and the others? There are more ways. What’s more, the power of the eldest prince and the second prince is not balanced now. Even if the two parties fight, the outcome will be very bad. It is easy to see that I cannot achieve the goal I want at all. As for the economy, you also know that the Zhou Dynasty had many restrictions on merchants. If I go too far, the court will definitely counterattack. In that case, I will be hurt. His subordinates. As for me coming to Bianjing, it’s just because..."

"Because you can't watch others fall into danger while you hide behind, so you let yourself stand at the front, in the most dangerous place." Cheng Jia approached Ling Qingyu, lowered his head, and when she was stunned, he gently He touched her lips, and then took two steps back before she could get angry, saying: "Stop all those little tricks. It is estimated that the policies of the Political Affairs Hall will change again soon. In order to protect themselves They will not care about the interests of the people, so there is no need for you to do these things while blaming yourself. In this way, your Ling family and your business network can continue to stay underwater without being watched and affected. , and Heishui Pass, let them guard the pass and not participate in the struggle for power, so that you will not be involved."

Touching his lower lip, Ling Qingyu looked at Cheng Jia deeply. He was helping her put aside the relationship. If everything had nothing to do with her, then Bianjing would no longer be a dangerous place for her.

Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Cheng Jia put a smile on his lips and said: "The simplest way is to let the princes' power get closer. When their ambition and power are close, kill Emperor Xiwen."

"Want to know how to do it?" Seeing Ling Qingyu nod, Cheng Jia sat down on the bed and said, "Give me a reward, and I will not only tell you how to do it, but also do it for you."

After his pulse felt for a few seconds, Alan's eyes widened and he said, "How long has it been since you last eaten?"

"Hunger strike?"

Resting his head on the soft chest, Cheng Jia shook his head slightly and said, "I just can't eat it."

"How long? How many days?" Alan asked, while shouting to the people standing far away: "Here comes a bowl of white porridge, the thinner the better!"

Because of the hot weather, Ling Qingyu and Alan's appetites are not very good. They often stew some white porridge on the stove so that they can make various flavors of porridge at any time. Now Alan asked for it, and soon a bowl of perfectly cooked white porridge was delivered to him. come over.
