"Are you used to living here, madam?" Ye Xiaotian strode into the study and asked Tian Xiufeng with a smile. The person he wanted to see before he set off was clearly Tian Xiufeng.
Tian Xiufeng was listless as if she was ill. She had been locked up here for a very long time. Of course, not eating meat was just Ye Xiaotian's way of making his two wives happy. He took good care of Tian Xiufeng's three meals a day, but Tian Xiufeng was not a canary. This kind of confinement in a small room was thousands of times worse than physical torture to her.
After hearing Ye Xiaotian's words, she only glanced at him faintly and didn't say a word. When Ye Xiaotian came to visit her in the past, she had once said something. Sometimes, she would tease him, and sometimes, she would scold him. However, no matter what her attitude was, it could not change the fact that she was imprisoned. As time went by, she no longer reacted to Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian did not mind. He directly sat down beside the chair and looked around the room. He smiled. "This was once a place where I was imprisoned. Don't think that I can receive any special treatment just because it's a show I put on with Miaowen. For the sake of making the show real, I've actually been locked up here for a month or two. "
Tian Xiufeng snorted coldly. "A month or two? I've already been locked up here for seven or eight months. Even if I'm a plant, how can I still be energetic after not seeing sunlight for a long time? "
She laid on the bed angrily, using her hands as a pillow. Because of this action, her clothes tightened, and the graceful curves of her chest seemed even more perky. Generally speaking, when a woman laid on their backs, the curves there should not be particularly obvious. This was more than enough to show just how plump Tian Xiufeng's chest was.
Ye Xiaotian glanced past the undulating area and coughed gently. "I'll be leaving Crouching Ox Ridge tomorrow morning!"
Tian Xiufeng said lazily, "Where are you going to swindle people?"
Ye Xiaotian said, "Bozhou."
Tian Xiufeng sat up with a whoosh, and her chest immediately surged, making Ye Xiaotian dizzy. He could not help but sing along with the rise and fall of her chest, "Duang ~ Duang ~ Duang ~ Duang ~"
Tian Xiufeng looked at his gaze and immediately returned to her senses. She could not help but blush. She subconsciously extended her hand. Not only was this posture extremely alluring, but because she had supported him, her bouncing curves had also turned into the shape of ridges.
Tian Xiufeng was locked up in this small room every day. Ye Xiaotian only came to see her once every ten days or half a month. No one else could see her, and she had no chance to go out. Naturally, she did not need to wear a chest scarf and wrap herself up so tightly. Her movements just now were too hasty, and Ye Xiaotian had a feast for his eyes.
"Tian, why are you going to Bozhou? Could it be that you dare to behave atrociously in front of the Heavenly King after imprisoning me? "
Tian Xiufeng asked with a blush, trying to cover up her embarrassment.
Ye Xiaotian gently shook his head. "This time, I am not swindling people!"
Tian Xiufeng's eyes lit up. "You want to negotiate with the Heavenly King?"
Ye Xiaotian smiled gently. "The Heavenly King relies on you a lot, but I don't think he is willing to negotiate with me for you."
"Of course!" Tian Xiufeng was a little sad. Rationally, she agreed with Yang Yinglong's approach. But as a woman, she was inevitably disappointed. "So, you detaining me is the stupidest way! You will get nothing except angering the Heavenly King! "
Ye Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly. Tian Xiufeng's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly realized that she should not provoke him like this. Ye Xiaotian wanted to kill her. If he really executed her, his reputation would undoubtedly go up another level.
Tian Xiufeng hurriedly asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
Ye Xiaotian lightly said, "I am going to lead troops. What do you think I want to do?"
Tian Xiufeng was stunned. She stared at Ye Xiaotian, her expression becoming more and more strange.
Ye Xiaotian said, "What are you looking at? Is there a flower growing on my face?"
Tian Xiufeng ignored his teasing and said with a puzzled face, "The Heavenly King has never used troops against you, but you want to take the initiative to provoke the Heavenly King. Are you crazy?"
Ye Xiaotian said, "Yang Yinglong did not use troops against me. He has already left Loushan Pass for Sichuan!"
Tian Xiufeng jumped up from the bed and threw herself in front of Ye Xiaotian. She grabbed his arm and said excitedly, "What did you say? Say it again. The Heavenly King is rebelling? The Heavenly King is rebelling! "
Ye Xiaotian said, "Yang Yinglong has been rebelling for almost half a year. This matter can't be explained from the beginning. Why don't you sit down and listen to me slowly?"
Only now did Tian Xiufeng realize that she had forgotten herself. She took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. She slowly retreated to a chair and slowly sat down, but her body was still tense. She had been detained for so long that she was completely unaware of any news from the outside world. Now that she suddenly found out that her husband had been rebelling for half a year, her emotions were so agitated that it was difficult to express them with words.
Ye Xiaotian told Tian Xiufeng everything that Yang Yinglong had done since the beginning of the rebellion. When he talked about the gathering of the imperial army, Tian Xiufeng was extremely nervous. When he talked about Yang Yinglong's great victory at Loushan Pass, Tian Xiufeng was beaming with joy. Her emotions were all affected by Yang Yinglong's every move.
Unfortunately, there was no one else present. Otherwise, they would certainly be puzzled: Why was Ye Xiaotian so frank with Tian Xiufeng? Everything he said to Tian Xiufeng was not the least bit false. It was all the fruitful results of Yang Yinglong's campaign in the last half a year.
However, while Ye Xiaotian was narrating, his eyes were fixed on Tian Xiufeng. He did not relax for even half a moment. As Tian Xiufeng listened to his detailed narration, Ye Xiaotian saw every change in her expression.
What Ye Xiaotian wanted was Tian Xiufeng's reaction. She was the person who shared Yang Yinglong's bed. In terms of understanding of Yang Yinglong, there was no one in this world who could say that they were more familiar with him than Tian Xiufeng. Not only was Tian Xiufeng the most familiar with Yang Yinglong and understood Yang Yinglong's temperament, she was also the most familiar with Yang Yinglong's strengths and weaknesses. Through her expression and reaction, Ye Xiaotian could estimate which of Yang Yinglong's actions she approved of and which she disapproved of.
Tian Xiufeng was the person who understood Yang Yinglong the most. Through her reaction, combined with the subsequent development of the situation, Ye Xiaotian would obtain important information of immeasurable value. Of course, this was on the premise that Tian Xiufeng was willing to be honest with him.
Of course, Tian Xiufeng would not be honest with Ye Xiaotian. However, the information Ye Xiaotian told her was too shocking and too important. No matter how shrewd Tian Xiufeng was, she could not remain calm at this time. As long as she let down her guard, the change in her expression would be the most real. She did not need to say it. Ye Xiaotian would dig it out and make his own judgment.
Finally, Ye Xiaotian talked about how Yang Yinglong had begun to withdraw his defense and was trying to rely on the territory he currently occupied to establish his independence. Tian Xiufeng's eyebrows gradually furrowed. The more Ye Xiaotian said, the tighter her eyebrows furrowed.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian gradually confirmed his judgment. Tian Xiufeng was Yang Yinglong's confidante. Moreover, she was a bystander. Her analysis and judgment would be very objective and reasonable. Her current attitude showed that his previous judgment was correct.
Ye Xiaotian did not tell Tian Xiufeng that it was actually she who had "told" him his correct judgment. Ye Xiaotian smiled and said confidently, "When Yang Yinglong first rose up, his spirit was as sharp as a rainbow and he was insufferably arrogant. Unfortunately, he is currently unconscious!"
Tian Xiufeng was startled and abruptly raised her head to look at Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian said calmly, "Originally, it was the imperial court who was poor at defending. Now that he wants to establish his autonomy and withdraw his defense, the one who is poor at defending will be him. Defense is a competition of foundation, patience, and timing. In these aspects, no matter how well-off his family is, can it compare to the imperial court? "
Ye Xiaotian smiled and stood up, looking down at the pale Tian Xiufeng. "How about accompanying me to Bozhou? I want you to personally see your man kneel at my feet!"
