Time flies, the Double Ninth Festival has passed, and Duanwang's 60th birthday is about to start.

After Qu Miaoling received the news, according to etiquette, he first went to the front yard.

"Father, my grandfather is going to celebrate his sixtieth birthday in a few days, and the invitation has been delivered, you?"

Qu Miaoling looked at Wu Dehou, the other party didn't say anything at first, but when he saw Qu Miaoling hand over the invitation, all the tea he poured into his mouth squirted out.

"Ahem, ahem."

Coughing violently twice, Wu Dehou clutched his chest and said, "Father has been unwell for the past few days, and I am afraid that he may not go." ’

"But Miao Ling, if my father is in better health, I will definitely go to see my father."

Wu Dehou added another sentence.

Qu Miaoling nodded, "Father, this invitation?" ”

"Just leave it here, ahem." He clutched his chest and coughed twice.

Qu Miaoling exited the study and glanced at the door with unpredictable eyes, she always felt that Wu Dehou's performance was strange.

On this day, Qu Miaoling prepared early, the gift she prepared for her grandfather was embroidered by herself, and it took a lot of time to complete.

Qingrou is responsible for sticking this gift today, and no one is allowed to touch it.

"Miss, let's go."

Before leaving, Qu Miaoling asked Qingrou to check the quality of the gift several times, and when she got a positive answer, she couldn't let go of her heart, and she took a look at it herself before she calmed down.

Qu Miaoling nodded, and the two of them left the house.

Today the house is quiet, as if there is no one, Wu Dehou didn't know where to hide for a long time, and when she went to ask him if he was going in the morning, she didn't see anyone.

As for Wen, she had no reason to go to her grandfather's birthday banquet.

That's his predecessor's father, and the Wen family is also from the Xiangfu after all, so he shouldn't be able to erase this face.

So Qu Miaoling walked out of the mansion alone.

She was just about to get into the carriage when she heard a familiar voice.

"Miao Ling, can Xiao Wang accompany you?"

It was Situ Huaibo, Qu Miaoling's foot was still on the low stool, and Situ Huaibo smiled at himself that he thought was warm.

As everyone knows, painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, and it makes people feel unpleasant to watch.

On such an important occasion today, she didn't want to be contaminated by Situ Huaibo, so she didn't inform him, but she didn't expect Situ Huaibo to come uninvited.

"Your Highness, of course you can." Qu Miaoling had to agree.

He got into the carriage, and Situ Huaibo rode a horse to the side, and along the way, she looked unpredictable and didn't dare to talk to her gently.

Qu Miaoling didn't know that Situ Huaibo came to find him, why didn't he want to use his relationship to make his grandfather accept him?

And then for their own benefit.

His abacus was ping-pong, but she wanted to help Situ Huaizhu earn the throne, and it was absolutely impossible for him to take advantage of himself.

Qu Miaoling slowly squeezed her palms, and her eyes gradually became fierce.

My grandfather went to Jiangzhou a few days ago because of something, and this time the birthday banquet was also held in Jiangzhou, and Jiangzhou was at least three days away from the capital.

Qu Miaoling prepared early, and the dry food on the road was ready.

They hardly stopped during the whole process, and went straight to Jiangzhou, so the food could only be rough.

"Miao Ling, are you okay?" Situ Huaibo suddenly opened the curtains, Qu Miaoling was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, and opened his eyes when he heard the words, his eyes were as sharp as a sword out of the sheath.

Situ Huaibo's whereabouts were shocked, and the horse seemed to be frightened, with its two hooves facing the sky and neighing.

After controlling the horse, Situ Huaibo asked again, "Miao Ling, are you okay?" Otherwise, let's stop and rest for a while. ”

After riding a horse for a day, he is not a person like Situ Huaiju, who has been on the battlefield and marched to fight, riding a horse for so long is already his limit.

Qu Miaoling nested in the narrow carriage, how comfortable it was, but she was afraid that she would be late, so she didn't let the carriage stop all the way.

Her feet are numb now, her body is stiff, and when her neck moves, she can hear the sound of "clattering" bone joints.

She looked at the sky outside, it was dark, and it was okay to stop and rest for a while.

"Your Highness, let's rest for a while."

Situ Huaibo's face was happy, and he shouted, "Stop." ”

The convoy stopped.

Qu Miaoling stepped out of the carriage with gentle support, and her body was very uncomfortable.

Gently took out the food from the bag, handed it to Qu Miaoling's hand injury, took out the kettle again, unscrewed the lid and put it aside. and he bites into the dry bread and eats it with water.

Situ Huaibo came in a hurry, and he didn't prepare to eat.

When he saw Qu Miaoling eating, he leaned over and said, "Miaoling, I didn't bring anything to eat." ”

Qu Miaoling glanced at him and said, "Gently, give some bread to His Highness, don't go hungry." ’

Situ Huaibo received the cake and smiled.

Maybe Miao Ling's eyes just now were not aimed at herself, maybe she had a nightmare?

It's not that Situ Huaibo has a lot of heart, the way Qu Miaoling looked at him just now, it seemed to be full of hatred.

He came to borrow something to eat, and it was also a temptation.

"Miao Ling, this thing is dry, how can you eat it." Situ Huaibo took a bite of the dry food and immediately frowned, when had the second prince of the Daling Dynasty ever eaten such a dry and unpalatable thing.

"Come on, follow this king into the mountain."

"Your Highness, don't go, it's dangerous on the mountain." Especially now that it's dark, some of the beasts have come out to feed.

Qu Miaoling's worry made Situ Huaibo's heart unusually ironed, "Miaoling, don't worry, this king will let you eat well later." ”

He took people into the mountain, and he didn't come back for a long time, so he was a little anxious: "Miss, there won't be an accident with the Second Highness." ”

"No, it won't."

Her revenge hasn't been avenged against him, how can he die?

Besides, the scourge lasted for a thousand years, and she didn't believe that he died so early.

Just when Qu Miaoling was half-full. Situ Huaibo came back with people.

They also carried a pheasant and a hare in their hands.

"It's too deep to hide." This is Situ Huaibo's explanation.

The guards under his command consciously roasted rabbits and pheasants, and brought seasonings on them, sprinkled them on wild things, and the fragrance came out after a while.

Situ Huaibo handed Qu Miaoling the most fragrant part of the meat on the pheasant, the muscles were roasted very fragrantly, and the oil was bubbling out, Qu Miaoling took it, and swallowed the dry food little by little on this chicken.

This Situ Huaibo's work is not good, but this skill is not bad.

Qu Miaoling sneered coldly in her heart.

Three days passed, and they rushed to Jiangzhou.

Qu Miaoling didn't give Duanwang Xin'er in advance, but Mrs. An didn't think about hiding it from her father, so she sent someone to send Xin'er.

So when Qu Miaoling arrived, he saw his uncle guarding the city gate, still wearing armor.

Seeing Qu Miaoling coming, he smiled heartily.

"Miao Ling, you're finally here."

As for his father's letting him suffer here for three days, he was afraid of missing Qu Miaoling and his party, and he held it in his heart.

After all, the old man still wants to save face.

"Miao Ling, this is-"

Looking at the man who walked towards him with Qu Miaoling, Situ Gaoye was stunned.

"Uncle, this is the second prince, and he came with me this time."

"The last general, Situ Gaoye, has seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince." And when he had said that, he was to kneel down and salute.

How could Situ Huaibo really let him kneel, and quietly stretched out his hand to support him, "General Situ, you are Huaibo's elder, how can you kneel for Huaibo, this king is here with Miao Ling, and the guest is with the master." ”

Situ Huaibo said with a smile.

He came this time to get closer to Duanwangfu, but he didn't come to make enemies.

Situ Gaoye couldn't either, so he took Qu Miaoling and walked into the city.

"Miao Ling, don't you know, in the past two days, your grandfather has been waiting for you to go crazy, so I am looking forward to you coming."

Situ Gaoye unceremoniously revealed his father's old bottom, and he didn't feel uneasy at all.

"Really?" Qu Miaoling laughed.

"But, uncle, if I'm not mistaken, I didn't tell you that I was coming to celebrate my grandfather's birthday?"

"Isn't this your aunt, my sister sent a letter, so I casually mentioned that your grandfather didn't think about tea and dinner, so he was waiting for you to come."

Along the way, Situ Gaoye chatted with Qu Miaoling's uncle and nephew, and arrived at the mansion where they lived temporarily.

As for Situ Huaibo, he didn't feel embarrassed, but An An followed Qu Miaoling in a divided manner, making a quiet background board.

When Qu Miaoling's carriage stopped, Situ Gaoye asked people to go back to the house to deliver the letter, and at this moment, Duanwang was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Qu Miaoling, King Duan's eyes lit up, but when he saw Situ Huaibo following behind his granddaughter, King Duan's face turned cold.

"Your Highness."

Last time in Jingkang Hou's Mansion, Qu Miaoling told him a few words about Situ Huaibo, these years, although he is not in the capital, there are still his people in the capital.

He also knows some news, and he also knows a little bit about the character of this second prince, and after his granddaughter's explanation, he has a very bad impression of this person.

"Second Highness." The voice was cold.

Situ Huaibo didn't care either, "Huang Aya." ”

King Duan is the emperor's uncle, so he is naturally his Aye.

He saluted King Duan, but King Duan turned slightly sideways and did not accept it.

Duan Wang and Situ Huaibo faced each other for the first time, Qu Miaoling looked at these two people, and couldn't help but fall into the memories of his previous life again.

In her last life, she believed Situ Huaibo, listened to him in everything, and believed in him, but he deceived himself, and also designed to frame his grandfather in the imperial city There were rumors that someone was going to rebel, the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and as a result, the imperial robe was found in the grandfather's house, and the emperor was furious, regardless of the old feelings, and put the rent in prison for a year.

She cried and begged Situ Huaibo, but the other party just comforted her, saying that he would find a way.

As a result, he helped Dali Temple to tap the wealth of the Duanwang Mansion and charge it all to the treasury.

Later, Qu Miaoling heard that King Huai killed his relatives and confiscated Duanwang's mansion, the fact was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Qu Miaoling fainted on the spot.

When I saw my grandfather again, I was already at the execution ground.

My grandfather's clothes were covered with blood, my uncle's body was also scarred, and my aunt and cousins were all sluggish.

Seeing that her relatives were beheaded and her husband was still in prison, Qu Miaoling wanted to rush in, but saw her grandfather smiling at herself, and said that she wanted to let Situ Huaibo go.

The next moment, the head fell to the ground, and his eyes were covered with blood.

The memory returned, and Qu Miaoling's pupils trembled.

"Grandpa, it's too noisy outside, let's go inside."

Qu Miaoling said suddenly, his voice was still a little trembling, Duan Wang was keenly aware of it, he took a deep look at his granddaughter, and then led everyone into the courtyard.

"Gao Ye, you take His Royal Highness the Second Prince to settle down."

Situ Gaoye and Situ Huaibo left, and Qu Miaoling stayed, "Miaoling, what's the matter with your brother Situ Huaibo?" ”

Could Grandpa see her thoughts?

Qu Miaoling opened her lips in surprise.

"Grandpa, I-"

She didn't know what to say, did she have to admit to her grandfather that she was born again?

How does that explain rebirth?

Said that she was disemboweled?

Grandpa is old, so don't let him only know.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I won't marry Situ Huaibo, it's just an expedient measure now."

"Miao Ling, you are confused!" King Duan immediately said.

"You are a girl's family, if you really divorce King Huai, what man will want you? Can grandpa protect you for a while, can he protect you for a lifetime? King Duan glared, obviously angry.
