Chapter 277: Fake Death
Qu Miaoling's previous worries finally came true, and the road between the second brother and the second princess was not easy.
However, if the second brother really asks the emperor to marry the second princess now, he may attract the emperor's disgust, and it is even more impossible for the two to get married.
Qu Miaoling's eyebrows furrowed, and she was also bored in her heart.
"Second brother, what do you think, do you want to marry the second princess?"
"Of course I do." Min Tian raised his head violently, and his haggard face flashed in front of Qu Miaoling's eyes.
"But look at your current appearance, do you still have the grandeur of the second son of the Marquis of Jingkang? Just like you, do you think the emperor will marry you the princess he holds in the palm of his hand? ”
Qu Miaoling's words were harsh, and every sentence was piercing Min Tian's heart.
But Qu Miaoling also knew that if Min Tian continued to be so decadent, he would really have no chance with the second princess.
"Miao Ling, do you know? I really like the second princess and I love her. ”
"That's how you love her? Take your decadence, take your frustration, your irresponsibility? ”
Qu Miaoling's voice was louder and louder, and Min He, who was standing outside guarding the door, had a heartbeat on his face.
He could hear Qu Miaoling's advice, was the eldest lady too serious and said something too ugly, could the second young master stand it?
Min He couldn't help but worry about his young master's fragile little heart.
"Miaoling, I'm your own brother, you don't look down on me like this."
"Just because you are my own brother, I will talk to you from the bottom of my heart, and I will definitely ignore him if you change someone else."
Qu Miaoling choked and said, seeing that Min Tian's face was even more ugly, she sighed and softened her voice and said, "Second brother, how can you do if you don't work hard if you like someone?" With the identity of the second princess, since you like her, you are destined to work ten times more than others, but now have you done it? ”
Advice is good for deeds, and good medicine is good for disease.
Miao Ling's words completely woke Min Tian up.
"Miao Ling, you're right, I shouldn't be decadent anymore."
Min Tian straightened his back and yelled outside the door: "Min He, get in, change my clothes and wash for the young master." ”
Min He outside opened his eyes wide, and ran in in a panic, carrying the clothes and basin he had prepared long ago.
He couldn't help but glance at Qu Miaoling, thinking that Miss still had a way.
Min He is worthy of being Min Tian's personal servant, his movements are swift and his legs and feet are fast, and Min Tian was soon dressed up as a serious rich boy, and his messy hair was neatly combed and tied behind his head.
A white brocade robe makes it even more graceful and graceful.
Qu Miaoling walked around Min Tian twice, and his posture was like that of a molesting man's son, and Min Tian smiled when he saw it.
"What are you looking at?"
"Look at how handsome my second brother is, he deserves to attract the second princess."
Qu Miaoling rarely praised him like this, which made Min Tian's heart flutter
Min Tian touched the back of his head and felt a little helpless: "Miao Ling, what nonsense are you talking about, you are a girl." ”
"What's wrong with the girl's house? The girl's family can't appreciate beautiful men? ”
Min Tian's face darkened, "Miao Ling, you woke me up today, I will definitely work harder in the future, I will return to the battlefield soon, and after I make a contribution, I must ask the emperor to marry the second princess, I believe that by that time, the emperor will not refuse me again." ”
"That's right, that's what my second brother said."
Qu Miaoling slapped Min Tian's shoulder fiercely, because he was not tall enough, and his palm only touched Min Tian's big arm.
"It's okay to bend over."
Min Tian subconsciously bent down and let Qu Miaoling's slap smoothly slap him on the shoulder.
"This is my good second brother."
Qu Miaoling's face looked exactly like the little girl 10 years ago, lively and brisk, Min Tian hadn't seen Qu Miaoling like this for a long time.
"That's good." Min Tian couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, that's good," Qu Miaoling couldn't help but think of herself and Situ Huai walking in the forest this morning, and there were still flying snowflakes in the sky, romantic and emotional, and her cheeks couldn't help but blush.
"Miao Ling, the reinforcements sent by the emperor to the border pass are about to set off, I received a letter yesterday, Situ Huaibo wants to make a fuss in this batch of reinforcements."
"He's trying to get a hand in there."
Qu Miaoling said firmly.
Although she boasted that she didn't know much about Situ Huaibo in her previous life, she also knew that Situ Huaibo was a person who couldn't feel at ease, and his dedication to the throne made him rather take risks than stay where he was.
The war at the border is about to end, the situation is one-sided, and it is only a matter of time before the army of the Daling Dynasty wins.
Situ Huaibo will never let it go.
Qu Miaoling's eyes narrowed, and his eyes exuded danger.
"Miaoling Situ Kuaibo has come to the door, do you think I should pretend to agree first?"
Just as Qu Miaoling came, Min Tian asked directly.
Qu Miaoling's star squeezed out folds, "Second brother, now on the surface, Situ Huaibo and I are one, if you don't agree, it may ruin my previous efforts." ”
Min Tian nodded, it was because of this that he didn't refuse immediately, but just said that he would go back and think about it.
"Then I'll agree first, let's see Situ Huaibo's next move, anyway, his people are in our hands, and we don't pinch them as much as we want."
In the barracks is Min Tian's special session, Situ Huaibo's people have just arrived and have an unstable foundation, and Min Tian wants to control them, just like stepping on an ant, he doesn't have to bother much.
Anyway, when a person arrives on the battlefield, life and death are fateful, and even if Situ Huaibo comes to question him at that time, it is good to just say that he will die on the battlefield and push himself cleanly.
Anyway, it is common for people to die on the battlefield, and who can guarantee that he will come out of the battlefield vertically?
Brother and sister, you and I decided this matter with a word.
Min Tian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but at this moment, Min He suddenly came in again and said, "Young Master, Madame invites you out for dinner." ”
The two of them looked up at the sky together, and it was getting dark.
The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, and then walked to Mrs. An's yard.
Mrs. An and her husband and wife have lived together in the same courtyard for so many years, and in Mrs. An's small courtyard, a study was specially opened up for Jing Kanghou, most of the time Jing Kanghou would not go to his front yard, and many of his official affairs were taken to Mrs. An to deal with.
"Auntie."
"Mother."
The brother and sister came one after the other, and Mrs. An saw a flash of surprise in her eyes when she saw her son, who had been closed for a long time.
"Min Tian, why did you come out, didn't Min He say that your leg hurts, hurry up, come and sit down, don't stretch your muscles and bones again."
Min Tian's head was full of question marks, and his hesitant gaze fell on Min He, the personal servant.
Min He covered his mouth and snickered, what could he do Mrs. An asked about the situation of the young master, he couldn't say that his young master didn't think about describing the withering for the second princess's tea and dinner.
"Auntie, the second brother's leg has improved a lot, you don't have to worry, he can take care of himself when he is so big."
However, Mrs. An hadn't seen her son for several days, and when she saw Leng Buding, her restless heart finally let go.
She thought that Min Tian had something to hide from her, but seeing the radiant Min Tian today, Mrs. An didn't doubt it, maybe she was really tired from the battlefield.
At the dinner table, Mrs. An kept serving Min Tian and Qu Miaoling, piling up the dishes of the two of them, and tall spikes appeared in the porcelain bowl containing rice.
After seeing Min Tian and Qu Miaoling, they smiled bitterly, but they couldn't brush off Mrs. An's kindness.
I can only try to eat all the food, and the result of my efforts is that both of them are holding their stomachs and can't move.
The brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled, but the smile was bitter.
Mrs. An also instructed the maid over there to fetch the hawthorn soup, "You two are really, don't eat if you can't eat it, what's going on." ”
The wry smiles on Qu Miaoling and Min Tian's faces became even thicker.
How does it seem like it's their fault?
After Min Tian finished eating, he was chased away by Mrs. An, "Min Tian, you are not too young, go back to your own yard, I want to talk to Miao Ling for a while." ”
Min Tian originally wanted to accompany his mother to say a few more words, but before he could open his mouth, he was ordered to be evicted, and Min Tian had no choice but to get up and leave.
The smile on the corner of the little guy Min and the corner of his mouth was high, and Min Tian involuntarily reached out and knocked his head, the force was not heavy but the voice was crisp.
Min and Ouch hurriedly followed.
In the room, Qu Miaoling sat next to Mrs. An, and seeing that Mrs. An's expression gradually became serious, Qu Miaoling also knew that her aunt must have something important to find her.
She immediately had the door shut, and her henchmen guarding the door to prevent anyone from approaching.
"Miaoling, I found out what you asked me to check."
As soon as Qu Miaoling heard this, she sat upright, and her eyes were glued to Mrs. An's body, and she couldn't move it.
"Auntie, did you find anything related to my mother's death?"
Mrs. An nodded solemnly, "I can't say anything about Min Tian just now." ”
Mrs. Ann slowly took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve.
"At that time, I saw this silk handkerchief on the street, and I didn't think of anything for a while, but I just thought it was familiar, so I asked my people to buy it."
Qu Miaoling also stared at Fang Juanpa, her eyes were dark.
"Just yesterday, I suddenly remembered that this Fang Juanpa was left by a person who was still more trusted by your mother's side at that time, and that person's embroidery was exquisite, and your mother's handkerchief was embroidered by her."
"Auntie means that the person who embroidered the veil may know the cause of my mother's death?"
Qu Miaoling's tone was raised, and her eyes widened slightly.
Mrs. Ann nodded.
"When you went to chat, I didn't see him for the last time, but I heard that your mother's death was very strange, obviously the person's body was cold, but the state was like being alive."
Qu Miaoling's eyes widened.
"Miao Ling, when you touch me, I am also a person who has been on the battlefield, making people's complexion pale, spots will soon appear on the body, and the most important thing is that this person's body is stiff, but your mother is either you or Hua Rongyue, with soft skin, and even her complexion is smooth and white."
"How is this possible?" Qu Miaoling exclaimed, she also knew what this person was like, and her mother's state didn't look like a dead person.
"I heard that the palace also sent someone to inspect at that time, but the coroner didn't find anything, the poison test and Gu poison test have been done, and the cause of your mother's death is that she was seriously ill and died."
"The coroner was personally sent by the emperor, and he said that there was no problem, who would dare to put a beak."
"In addition, the emperor has feelings for your mother, so he can't talk about your mother's death at all, and the confused matter will be revealed."
Mrs. An was also indignant when she mentioned what happened at that time, why didn't she come back earlier and stare at it in person, can they really find out the truth after so many years?
"Auntie, this clue you provided is very important, and I will continue to investigate it further when I get back.
Mrs. An nodded, "I will continue to keep an eye on Miaoling's matter, if there are any clues, I will tell you as soon as possible." ”
Qu Miaoling bowed slightly, and was about to turn away, and the moment before stepping out of the threshold, Qu Miaoling turned to Mrs. An and said, "Auntie, what are you planning on the marriage of the second brother?" ”
Qu Miaoling's words made Mrs. An stunned.
Min Tian's marriage is also the one thing that Mrs. An is most worried about.
"Miao Ling, you also know that your second brother's legs and feet are not good, and his future in officialdom will be limited in the future, and I don't know which girl is willing to marry him."
When Mrs. Ann mentioned this, she looked sad.
