Chapter 223: Mindfulness
Situ Huaibo received the news almost with the emperor, and he also buried people in the army at the border pass.
After receiving the message.
Situ Huaibo endured the message in his heart and waited for the summons to enter the palace.
It took a lot of effort for him not to let the smile hang on his lips.
After the emperor and his ministers and princes had spied on him, he left him in the imperial study.
"Emperor, what do you think about this matter?"
The emperor stared at the ambitious second son with burning eyes, just now in front of the ministers, the second prince's performance was remarkable, and he did not find anything unusual.
But the contradiction between the two brothers has long existed.
He didn't believe that Situ Huaibo's performance would be so bland, so in addition to business, he still wanted to test it again.
"Erchen thinks that now the news of the third brother's accident must not be spread, and we have to find a person with high prestige in the army to temporarily take over the rank of the third brother, otherwise, there will be chaos in the army, the army's morale will be unstable, and when the time comes, we will be passive."
"Besides, Erchen doesn't believe that the third brother will go missing, maybe he is looking for an opportunity to connect with our people."
Situ squinted lightly, Situ Huaibo's words just now were decent, neither made him credulous nor suspicious.
"Dick, you're a good one." The emperor suddenly came to the sentence.
"Father, the son asks for his life, and personally go to the border to find the third brother." Situ Huaibo hurriedly knelt down and said.
"I have already lost a prince, and I don't want to lose another prince." The emperor flicked his sleeves and refused directly.
"Father!"
"Okay, this matter, Hugh has to mention it again!"
The emperor lowered his face, and now he was somewhat convinced that Situ Huaibo was innocent.
"Emperor, look, this is a letter from the secret agent."
Situ Huaibo didn't expect that the emperor would believe in himself so much, he accepted the secret letter respectfully, but his eyes slowly widened.
"Father, this-"
The letter said that Min Ziqian, Marquis of Jingkang, had taken over Situ Huaiju's position and was managing the trivial affairs of the army.
"What do you think?"
"Jingkanghou has fought on the battlefield for many years, he is a fierce general, the army is handed over to him, and his sons can rest assured."
When the emperor heard this, he also smiled.
"Originally, I also had this intention, but Jing Kanghou made his own decisions, and I was unhappy, but immediately, Jing Kanghou's recital was handed over, and I knew his loyalty, so I agreed."
Seeing that Situ Huaibo didn't react, the emperor continued: "I have already explained, let Min Ziqian find the third prince regardless of the cost!" ”
"The love of the father and the emperor, the third brother must know about it, and he is reluctant to leave."
Leaving the imperial study, Situ Huai tried his best to maintain a happy expression, but when he left the palace and sat in the carriage, his face immediately calmed down.
That Situ Huaizhu is really a good fate, his whereabouts are unknown, and the emperor is still thinking about getting him back.
Situ Huaibo thumped his fist with resentment.
On his way back to his home, passing by the Lechuan Teahouse, Qu Miaoling and Situ Huaiyong sat face to face, with a sad face.
"Miss Qu, what can I do?"
In the court, Situ Huaiyong immediately made an appointment to meet Qu Miaoling after hearing about this.
The two of them may have been sitting here for a long time, but the woman opposite just frowned and didn't say a word.
Her face was full of anxiety, she never thought that she had already told him all those things, and he still hadn't escaped the plot.
Could it be that it is really impossible to change one's life against the sky?
"When I was in court this morning, my father said that the border passes were defeated one after another, several cities were captured, and countless children of Daling were in dire straits."
"Did the emperor say what happened to the third prince?" Qu Miaoling said anxiously.
Glancing at Qu Miaoling's face, he carefully chose his words and said: "Father said that he had already sent people into the mountain to look for him, he ordered the scouts to bring a hundred search and rescue teams into the mountain, and gave them a death order, if they don't find the three emperor brothers, they will apologize for their crimes with death." ”
"What? Only 100 people? ”
Situ Huaiyong stopped talking, he also felt that it was less, and he wanted to speak at that time, but he was pulled by his sleeve.
It was the person sent to him by his mother, and he didn't dare not listen.
Qu Miaoling's heart was very chaotic at the moment, she never thought that Situ Huaizhu's life was threatened, and the emperor still only cared about the city.
Such a big mountain, hundreds of people went to search and rescue, and when they found Situ Huaiju, Ah is just a corpse.
Situ Qingchu is the emperor, but he is also Situ Huaizhu's biological father! Could it be that the previous love was all fake?
"Miss Qu, otherwise, we will also secretly send someone to the border to find someone?"
"No, absolutely not." Qu Miaoling refused, her face full of seriousness.
"Why not!" Situ Huaiyong stood up, his face full of anger.
"If it doesn't work, it won't work, I won't allow it." She spoke word by word.
"Qu Miaoling, do you have the heart of this woman to treat you like this in vain with my third emperor brother!"
Situ Huaiyong left angrily.
Looking at the other party's back, Qu Miaoling returned to the Hou Mansion in despair, and received the news that Situ Huaibo was coming.
Seeing Qu Miaoling stepping into Wanzhen Courtyard, he immediately greeted him, with indelible joy on his face.
"Miao Ling, do you know? Situ Huaizhu turned out to be missing, still in the mountains of the border pass, you know, there are some wild beasts everywhere, and when the hundred-person search and rescue team finds him, I am afraid that there will be no bones. ”
In front of Qu Miaoling, whom he trusted, Situ Huaibo did not hide his hatred for Situ Huaizhu at all.
Looking at the other party's face, Qu Miaoling almost couldn't hold back his fist.
But she had to be patient.
She firmly believes that Situ Huai will not die, absolutely not!
"Your Highness, this is a good thing for you!"
Situ Huaibo slapped his thigh, "Who said it wasn't, I have always regarded him as my biggest opponent, but now that he is dead, I still feel a little empty inexplicably." ”
The look of being cheap and obedient made Qu Miaoling's eyes deeper and deeper.
After Situ Huaibo left, Qu Miaoling grabbed the teacup in his hand, and with such great force that the pale cyan blood vessels could be seen on the back of his already white hand.
"Miss, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine."
Gently and diligently persuaded him, but Qu Miaoling said that he wanted to be alone and quiet.
The soldiers at the border pass were almost in chaos, but fortunately, Jing Kanghou's iron wrist did not get into chaos.
But the Manchu civil and military seemed to have collectively ignored the disappearance of the three princes, and was thinking about how to regain the lost territory.
Even the emperor, after sending the 100-person search and rescue team, there was no movement.
I don't know how many times, she endured the idea of going to the border to find him, and she held on with that breath.
Under the gentle eyelids, the already thin master is getting thinner and thinner, and the baby fat on the cheeks is gone, and it has the shape of a goose egg face.
It was very distressing to look at it gently, but the young lady didn't eat it, and she couldn't pour it in, and the corners of her mouth were hot for several times because she was in a hurry.
Situ Huaibo's interest has been very high these days, and she often goes out with Qu Miaoling, although she is unwilling, she still has to be false with him.
On this day, she happened to bump into Situ Huaiyong, who came to find her.
"Qu Miaoling, do you have a heart? My third emperor brother doesn't know whether he is alive or dead now, and you still have the heart to change the cup with your fiancé! You are so unkind, I really misjudged you! ”
As he spoke, he rode away, leaving Qu Miaoling with an angry back.
"He's not going to die!"
She muttered, not knowing whether she was comforting herself or telling Situ Huaiyong.
Qu Miaoling didn't have the heart to make an appointment, so she just found a reason to push it off.
And Situ Huaibo's side is also in a hurry.
"Master, the third prince, he is not dead!"
"What?" The wine glass in his hand "snapped" and laughed, and the cracked fragments burst out in all directions.
"What's going on!" Didn't the search and rescue team say that no one was found!
The emperor laughed loudly after receiving the recital sent by Situ Huaizhu himself.
"This third child, there is really him, even I have been deceived!"
"Your Majesty, isn't this more real?" Wen Hongzhi interjected.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, Aiqing's words are reasonable." The emperor's laughter was even louder.
And Situ Huaibo, who heard all this, bared his teeth and grinned, fortunately he hung his head, otherwise he would have been discovered by the emperor.
That Situ Huai was so powerful that he was killed.
It turned out that Situ Huaizhu deliberately disappeared in the mountains and forests, just to make the enemy feel that the army of their Daling Dynasty was leaderless, but what they didn't expect was that when they captured Daling City, Situ Huaizhu had already ordered someone to weave a monstrous king, just waiting for them to enter the set.
The Huns were red-eyed and ready to go, but Su He suddenly appeared, which shocked the hearts of the army, and he still carried the head of an important general of the enemy army in his hands.
This general was the one who was ordered to search for him in the mountains and forests.
This trick of the golden cicada was shelled and combined with the outside world, so that the Hun army was annihilated by more than 200,000, and Jing Kanghou and his sons fought bravely to kill the enemy.
One by one, the ground was covered with blood.
But their hearts are happy.
The soldiers of the Daling Dynasty were even more uplifted, and they were ready to go, and they also recovered the cities that had been lost before.
The emperor looked at the letter, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth never came down.
"The third child, yes, yes."
The emperor's repeated praise made the cracks on the corners of Situ Huaibo's mouth bigger and bigger.
Situ Huaidu!
Why should you come back alive!
Why do you want to make a big difference!!
His eyes were so fierce that anyone who could see his gaze would have seen that there was a raging mad lion hiding inside.
"The three princes have achieved such a feat, I have decided to hold a celebration banquet for the three princes!"
The emperor shouted, and the ministers knelt down.
He shouted, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”
The smile on Situ Qingchu's face widened, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were squeezed together.
After Qu Miaoling received the news, a great surprise struck, and she almost fell off her buttocks.
still held her softly and quickly, so that it didn't cause a tragedy.
"Gently, what did he just say? Situ Huaiju, is he still alive? ”
Qingrou also lay tears on her face, during this time, her own young lady didn't think about tea and dinner, and seeing that she had lost a lot of weight, she hurriedly said: "That's right, Miss, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is indeed alive, he is not dead!" ”
"I knew, how could he die, hahahaha."
The young lady was stunned, and she was not worried.
As long as the third prince is alive, the young lady will not lose weight anymore, which is good.
It's that simple to wish gently.
The emperor personally ordered a banquet to be held, and all civil and military officials went to attend, and Wen Qingqian, as Situ Huaidu's fiancée, attracted much attention.
Even the emperor personally appreciated the wine, and Wenhong was honored with a face.
Wen Qingqian hurriedly poured it down, and then what he received was the praise of the queen, as well as the praise of all the ladies in the palace.
Her smiling face froze, but it was nothing compared to the gifts given to her by the emperor and the concubines.
"The courtiers have thanked the emperor and the queen."
"There's no need to be polite, as long as you open up more branches and leaves for Huai in the future." The queen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Wen Qingqian's words turned red in an instant, like the morning glow on the horizon.
"Hey, hey, I'm blushing, this is a necessary experience for a woman's family, and when you get married, you'll understand." Duan Guifei covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Okay, okay, you guys, don't tease other little girls, shallow, go play with your peers for a while, after all, today's banquet is for the three princes, and it's also for you."
Wen Qingqian left, and the little sisters in the past came over like flies, with completely different attitudes.
In the past, she still felt that she was the prime minister's daughter, and they respected themselves enough, but she didn't expect that being respected and held was like this?
