Chapter 229: Captivity
On the second day, Qu Miaoling heard the news that the eldest prince was imprisoned in Dali Temple and imprisoned for life.
The Emperor showed no mercy.
But Qu Miaoling remembered the previous life, when the eldest prince rebelled in the previous life, he was given to death by a glass of poisoned wine.
"What about the eldest princess?"
The eldest princess is not bad, he helped himself at the beginning, and I don't know what will happen to him.
"I heard that after the eldest princess received the news that the eldest prince was imprisoned for life, she fainted."
Gently glanced at Qu Miaoling's face, and then continued, "The eldest princess was too worried and gave birth to a fetus in a coma, but the fetus died just after birth. ”
Qu Miaoling was shocked on her face, how could such a good person as the eldest princess marry a hypocrite like the eldest prince.
Didn't the eldest prince think about how to settle his family before he rebelled?
His wife still has a big belly, so she has to worry about him.
Is this man or not human?
Qu Miaoling cursed in her heart, she even felt that it was a pity that the emperor did not give Situ Huai Quercus to death.
But after thinking about it, Situ Huaili made such a big mistake, how could the eldest princess not know at all, but what could she do if she knew?
It's all fate, just like my own in the previous life, desperately trying to win happiness, but in the end, I was still empty of people and money, and I didn't get anything, but I took two lives.
Seeing that the young lady was sitting in disappointment, she continued: "Miss, you don't have to worry about the eldest princess, the emperor's order is only to eliminate the title of the royal palace, in the end, it is the royal daughter-in-law, and the emperor will not be too strict with the eldest princess." ”
Qu Miaoling nodded.
This is already very good, in the end, it is royal ruthlessness, father and son cannibalism, brother Ni Wall, she has not seen it.
And Mu Chi returned to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, his face was pale.
He finally sneaked into the palace, so he thought about stealing Qu Miaoling out, taking advantage of the fact that he still had the customs clearance document in his hand, and quietly brought Qu Miaoling back to Tubo, and he could cook raw rice into cooked rice, even if he was Emperor Daling, he would not be able to do anything to him at that time.
Mu Chi thought so in his heart, and he slammed his fist on the table.
It's all to blame Situ Huaiyun and Situ Huaibo, if they hadn't intervened in a row, maybe he would have left the capital with Qu Miaoling and went straight to Tubo now.
"Bastard!" Mu Chi cursed.
Tantai looked at the angry prince, and couldn't help but persuade him: "You don't have to worry, now that the Daling Dynasty has experienced such a thing, it must not let you go in a short time, we still have a chance." ”
Mu Chi nodded, for the time being, it could only be like this.
Qu Miaoling was unwilling to talk to Wu Dehou again, so she found an excuse to leave the front hall.
Wen's cry still echoed behind his ears, and he didn't want to listen to it and walk away.
Wu Dehou also left after Qu Miaoling left.
Wen cried lonely, so he took his voice.
But his voice was hoarse.
She hadn't eaten well for the past few days, she hadn't eaten a few drops of water, her stomach was empty, and she was even more uncomfortable.
In addition, I cried bitterly just now, and the water in my body was rapidly lost, and now I feel a little dizzy.
"Come on, pass the meal."
Wen gave the order, and the stove immediately sent the food over.
All kinds of desserts, meat soups, and the greedy Wen's eyeballs are about to fall off.
She gobbled it up, and Taolei stood and watched from the side, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Wu Dehou was in no mood by Wen's trouble, and heard that Wen's own food was fragrant, so he also asked people to go to the stove room to get food.
It's just that his stomach has been hungry for too long, and he doesn't have a little appetite when he looks at the greasy food in front of him.
"Change some light ones for this marquis." Wu Dehou shouted.
It didn't take long for Qu Miaoling to receive the news that Wen had been pulling his stomach for several days because of overeating.
Qu Miaoling didn't feel anything in his heart, but just asked people to spread the news to Qu Chensi.
But she thought about it and let the man come back.
Qu Chensi is studying in the academy, so don't bother him.
In the past few days, the situation in the palace has changed, the eldest prince has rebelled, and those under his command have been locked up, and some of them have been exterminated by the nine clans.
The eldest prince was locked up in the Zongren Mansion, and he couldn't come out in this life.
The emperor was furious, and when he went to court, his face changed.
He stared at the ministers below, his eyes shining fiercely.
"If it weren't for the second prince and the fourth prince to save me this time, my life would have been lost!"
The Emperor roared.
The ministers were silent, and did not dare to say a word, but just lowered their heads.
The emperor scolded for a while, and the depression in his heart also spit out.
He sat down on the dragon chair and began to discuss the reward for meritorious deeds.
"The second prince and the fourth prince will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold for saving the driver, 10,000 acres of fertile land, and 10 beauties each, and the two of you will go to the military department together in the future, so you can take care of it."
Among the six departments, the Ministry of War is really a powerful department.
does not control the movement of soldiers across the country, and even the tiger talisman is sealed in the military department.
Situ Huaibo was overjoyed when he heard this, he had long wanted to enter the military department, but the emperor never gave an order.
This time, as a blessing in disguise, he quickly knelt down and thanked him repeatedly.
Situ Huaiyong's face was not so happy, he knew in his heart that he had no chance to win the throne, although the concubine had been pushing him behind and squeezing him to make him compete for the throne, but he didn't have this idea in his heart.
No matter who ascends to that position in the second prince or the third prince, it has nothing to do with him.
However, on an emotional level, he still hopes that the third prince will sit in that position.
When he heard the emperor's reward, Situ Huai was stunned for a moment, but he still knelt down and accepted it.
In this way, presumably the mother concubine will not be nagging in her ear all day long, and he can also be quiet.
Looking at the two sons who were kneeling, although the age gap was not small, but they were all elites of the Daling Dynasty, the emperor touched his beard and laughed loudly.
The emperor smiled angrily, causing the ministers below to tremble.
They couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, but they had seen clearly the emperor's order just now, and the two princes and the fourth prince had walked into the emperor's heart this time.
After they returned, it was time to think carefully about their side.
The ministers left the Qiankun Hall worriedly, but Situ Huaiyun and Situ Huaibo were left behind by the emperor.
"What do you two think about the War?"
Situ Huaibo has been coveting the military department for a long time, and originally he thought that if he talked eloquently, the emperor would presumably value him more.
But the long-term vigilance made him close his mouth first, Situ Huai's lazy answer was decent, and there were even some things that were not dark in the world, but when the emperor heard it, his face became more kind.
Situ Huai immediately woke up, the emperor was testing them.
If you really talk about it with confidence, I'm afraid that the emperor will doubt you.
So Situ Huaibo also answered a little decently, and after listening to it, the emperor touched his beard again.
"You two are still too young, go to the military department to study more, if I take the next teaching exam, you will still be at this level by then, you will go back to Shangshuyuan for me to study again."
The Shangshuyuan was a place for the princes to study, and when the princes reached the age of fifteen, they could leave there and be assigned government affairs to them by the emperor.
This also means that the princes have reached adulthood and can become the emperor's right-hand man.
When the two brothers left the imperial study, they heard the emperor's heartier laughter, mixed with the voice of Chief Manager Su.
Qu Miaoling stayed in the mansion for two days before receiving an invitation from Wang Ge's old granddaughter.
Looking at the greeting post in his hand, Qu Miaoling's eyes flickered.
Wang Ronghui came this time, and he didn't know why?
Soon the carriage of the palace arrived, and Qu Miaoling personally went out to greet him.
"I heard that something big happened in the palace, are you okay?"
It turned out that he was caring about himself, and he really had too much heart.
The smile on Qu Miaoling's face was a lot more sincere, and she personally pushed Wang Ronghui's wheelchair to Nanzhenyuan.
"I'm fine, but Wang Ge is old, don't be frightened, it's nothing serious, I should care about it."
"Grandfather is fine, it's you who make me so worried."
Qu Miaoling looked at Wang Ronghui with a worried face and couldn't help but smile.
The two had lunch together before Wang Ronghui left.
"Miss, Miss Wang is worried about you."
"yes, she's not good at it, it's a pity."
Qu Miaoling turned around and returned to the Hou Mansion, and the door of the Hou Mansion closed in response.
Although Qu Miaoling did not inform Qu Chensi of the news, from his colleagues in the academy, Qu Chensi still knew.
He hurried back and asked his master for leave, and after returning home, he came to Wen's for the first time, and Wen's face turned white because of diarrhea.
"Mother, are you alright?"
Qu Chensi thought that Wen was injured in the palace, he was quite a big man, and his eyes were red.
"Mother, grandma is okay!"
Some time ago, because he was still angry with his mother in his heart, he left a few days after Chinese New Year's Eve, and during this time, he never sent a letter to his home, and now he regrets it, if he came back when he was in Xiu Mu last time, he would not let Min suffer alone.
"Mother, mother!"
He pushed Wen on the bed, tears rolling down.
Wen's face was pale, and fine sweat was oozing from his forehead, and Lang Zhong's diagnosis was "overeating, causing gastrointestinal discomfort".
I've drunk a few doses of medicine, and my body is better, but my stomach still hurts.
"Son, you're finally back!"
I haven't seen Qu Chensi for a long time, she was locked up by the rebels, she had diarrhea, and she was ignored by Wu Dehou, and the grievances in her heart gushed out.
In front of her son, she finally couldn't hold back her tears.
The mother and son hugged their heads and cried.
After comforting his mother for a long time, Wen stopped crying.
Wen told him everything that happened in the palace, and the thrilling scene made Qu Chensi's heart tremble.
"Mother, you shouldn't have entered the palace."
When Wen was locked up, there was no water and no food, and she thought so in her heart, but in this world, there is no regret medicine.
"Mother, how is the eldest sister?"
From Wen's words, he also heard a few words of Qu Miaoling's news.
It's just a passing by, though.
"She, I really don't know, why is her life so big! Not dead yet! ”
Wen had hatred on his face.
"Mother." Qu Chensi shouted in a low voice, and Wen also knew that his son didn't want to listen, so he shut up.
Leaving from He'an Garden, Qu Chensi went to Wanzhen Courtyard with Wen on his back, and saw that Qu Miaoling was fine, so he left.
The master had only given him one day off, and he had to hurry back.
And Mu Chi had no excuse to stay in the capital, so he left in the end.
Before leaving, he still looked in the direction of the capital, reluctant to give up.
After Mu Chi left, Qu Miaoling also walked out of the Wude Houhou Mansion, and some time ago, the wind was tight, so she didn't come out to move.
Wang Ronghui personally came to the door to care about herself, if she didn't go to the old mansion, she would be too rude.
So on this day, she went in a carriage.
After meeting with Wang Ge Lao and Mrs. Ge Lao, and giving her the gifts she had prepared herself, she left the Ge Lao Mansion.
Situ Huaibo, as an important meritorious minister who rescued the emperor this time, attracted the attention of all ministers.
After rescuing the emperor, he immediately handed over the military power again, and the emperor was overjoyed, and praised Situ Huaibo even more, and even did not pursue his private transfer of troops.
In the court, because Situ Huaibo was stationed in the military department, he devoted himself to studying, and half a month later, in the recital submitted to the emperor, he carefully explained the shortcomings of the military department.
Every room is very pertinent, such as the food is redundant, the officials are not serious, and he has patiently figured out a solution to every problem.
The detailed letter was handed over, and the emperor Longyan Dayue, when he was in the last court, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, praised Situ Huaibo for his demeanor.
When the courtiers heard this, their minds became lively again.
Could it be that the emperor intends to pass the throne to the second prince?
