Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Fan Xin opened the food box, and a strong scent of grass carp suddenly wafted into the palace.

After taking a whiff, Li Lingyue nodded approvingly.

"Yes, it tastes delicious. It should be grass carp from Luoshui."

"Come here, bring me a spoon! I want to try fish soup with Prince Jin."

Yingniang bowed and brought two pairs of jade spoons: "Your Majesty, please take a few sips before you drink."

Li Lingyue laughed and signaled Yingniang to step aside.

"In the whole world, if I can't even trust my husband, I will really be alone."

After saying that, he picked up the spoon and scooped some into his mouth.

The onlookers' servants saw this scene with surprise in their eyes.

Especially when You Nailiang saw that the Queen Mother trusted Fan Xin more than she trusted herself, the jealousy in her heart grew stronger.

After drinking the fish soup, Fan Xin said calmly to the waiter.

"The King is going to play a few games with the Queen Mother. You should withdraw first."

"Yes."

After the chamberlain and the maid left, You Nailiang was about to stand aside and watch, but Fan Xin smiled at him.

"You go out too."

"you!"

You Nailiang's face froze, and he waved his sleeves and robes bitterly and left Tai'an Palace.

At the moment, he is not qualified to challenge Fan Xin head-on. In a few days, when the Queen Mother's drug addiction becomes stronger, it will be time for him to take action against this guy.

"You almost regard my palace as your own bedroom. Tell me, is there anything wrong with entering the palace?"

After placing the black piece on the chessboard, Li Lingyue smiled slightly.

"As expected of my eldest lady, I do have something I want to tell you."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"The Ministry of War received a report from Helanyi this morning."

"Because our army cannot adapt to the high mountain climate in Tuyuhun, coupled with strategic problems."

"The army has withdrawn from Russell Khan Mountain, with thousands of soldiers killed and wounded."

"What, defeated!"

Li Lingyue was startled, and the sunspot in his hand fell to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Fan Xin sighed.

"After Tubo captured Russell Khan Mountain, it directly led tens of thousands of troops to attack Liangzhou."

"There is a strong intention to completely occupy our Hexi Corridor."

After the initial panic, Li Lingyue quickly calmed down and said calmly.

"Since you in the Tang Dynasty severely damaged the elites of Tibet, the Tubo court has been silent for more than ten years. Since we dare to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty again this time, we are obviously well prepared.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Facing Li Lingyue's earnest eyes, Fan Xin took out a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War from his arms.

"Our Luoyang Chamber of Commerce has always had contacts with the Tubo people, and we have heard of one thing.

"Since the death of the Tubo Queen Mother, the clan members of Lun Qinling have returned to the Tubo royal city and regained control of the power. This has made the Tubo royal family extremely angry, and they are secretly planning to eliminate this hidden danger."

Li Lingyue frowned slightly: Are you saying that the Tubo people in Qinling are showing signs of coming back? "

"Yes, the Qinling family is not only the best fighting family in Tubo, but also the most strategically ambitious family."

"It is no exaggeration to say that if they want, they can replace Chidu Songtsan."

"In addition, Tridu Songtsan is a narrow-minded and intolerant character."

“A large-scale conflict is bound to break out between the two sides.

Li Lingyue was not in a hurry to speak, but fell into deep thought.

Now that the imperial army has suffered a defeat on the front line, Liangzhou will be in danger again.

It is unrealistic to recruit a large army to Liangzhou to relieve the siege. The best way is indeed as Fan Xin said.

Send troops to help the Tubo royal family suppress the Lun Qinling family, and then establish a puppet regime. .

"Okay, as my husband has said, I will immediately send a confidant to Tubo to secretly contact the King of Tubo!"

After making the decision, Li Lingyue took out a bone staff and struck the bronze bell.

Meng Xiang, the Qianniu Guard general wearing a cloak, walked into the hall.

"I see the Queen Mother!"

"No need to be polite, just go to Tubo secretly with my personal letter immediately."

"Hand him over to the Tibetan King. Remember not to let the second person know."

Meng Xiang was startled and solemnly clasped his fists.

"Sir, obey the order!"

When Meng Xiang left and it was noon, Li Lingyue took a breath and planned to ask You Nailiang to bring the medicine in.

As time passed, her bones felt itchy again.

Unexpectedly, Fan Xin took out another Tang newspaper to discuss with her.

As a last resort, Li Lingyue had no choice but to cheer up and discuss with him, and the discussion lasted until the evening.

At this time, Li Lingyue couldn't bear it anymore and felt as if there were countless ants gnawing on her body.

I desperately want to drink a bowl of soup to satisfy my heart's desire.

"Ahem, husband, you see it's getting late. Should we discuss it in the court tomorrow?"

Li Lingyue forced herself to endure.

Sensing his wife's pain, Fan Xin put the flowers he had prepared on the table.

"Lingyue, this is a flower picked for my husband's order. It's called sin."

Li Lingyue was stunned and puzzled.

"Why are you showing this to me?"

Fan Xin picked a fruit from the root.

"This stuff has analgesic properties."

"But if you take it for a long time, you will develop dependence, and then you will become as thin as a stick and die suddenly."

Li Lingyue is a smart woman. She saw that Fan Xin's symptoms were exactly the same as hers.

Some people trembled in disbelief.

"You mean what You Nailiang gave me..."

Fan Xin sighed helplessly.

"That's right, it's this kind of thing that will make you die in agony and pain."

Li Lingyue was struck by lightning, and his whole body froze, his face turning blue and white.

She never expected that You Nailiang would dare to use the Flower of Sin to harm her!

I didn't expect that such a pleasant thing would have such a big backlash.

Think again of the heart-wrenching scene before.

Li Lingyue felt terrified in her heart. If it weren't for Fan Xin's reminder, wouldn't she...

a long time.

Li Lingyue took a deep breath, suppressed the murderous intention in her heart and said calmly.

"You've been dragging me into talking for a whole day just to give me a taste of the medicine, right?"

"Yes."

Fan Xin admitted openly that he had to let his wife experience the pain in person to be more convincing. "

"You dare to admit it." Li Lingyue chuckled.

"I know about this matter. You can go back first. I will handle it on my own."

Fan Xin stood up, cupped his hands, and left Tai'an Hall without saying anything.

You Nailiang only used the most primitive flower of sin, which was still a certain distance away from the real poison.

So he believed that Li Lingyue could definitely overcome the desire in his heart.

Not long after Fan Xin left, You Nailiang walked in with a smile.
