On the second day, Lu Ying took Qi Ping back to Bian Qian.

Qi Ping cried all night, his eyes were swollen like walnuts, and he still cried loudly when he stepped out of the house, which was really unbearable. Lu Ying pouted stubbornly, refused to shed a single tear, endured it, got on the carriage, and galloped away.

Qu Mingli, who had just left the court, passed by the carriage, and could still hear the faint cry coming from the carriage, his throat was hard, but he didn't do anything.

Ning Zeqing walked only a hundred meters behind him, and it was strange to see him stop suddenly, but he didn't know what had happened in Qu Fuzhong now, but what Qu Mingli had done in recent days was really incredible, and when Qi Ping came to Fuzhong, it was also a little different from the past.

He walked to Qu Mingli's side and said to him, "I see that you seem to have something on your mind recently, and it is not the same as before. If there is a change, you might as well say it so that you can solve your worries. Just don't make a mistake in getting down to business and delay military affairs. ”

Qu Mingli lowered his head, not daring to look at him: "General Xie Ning instructs." ”

He didn't mean to listen to what he said.

He was about to say more when he was interrupted.

"Leaving the ......"

Behind them came a woman, veiled, with a very gentle tone, carrying a basket of vegetables on her arm, and walking in a hurry.

I saw Qu Mingli shouting "Aunt Chun", so he hurriedly greeted her, took her bamboo basket, and helped her to walk towards the house.

Ning Zeqing saw that the two of them had a very warm atmosphere, and inexplicably thought of the word "mother and son filial piety", and felt that the people in Qu Mansion seemed to have more and more family feelings.

"Aunt Chun, why are you so flustered and shake your hairpin apart."

Qu Mingli reached out and helped Aunt Fuchun's hairpin and straightened her hair.

"I ...... Fang just accidentally bumped into someone, so it will be like this. Aunt Chun explained.

Not really.

Just now when she was buying some standing items in the market, she saw an old man, although she only saw the back from a distance, but she was wearing palace clothes, and she was almost the same as the one she thought in her heart, so she must be her.

As soon as she was nervous, she bumped into someone.

The person who collided with her was there and cursed, attracting everyone to watch, and even if he apologized, he couldn't stop the man from talking.

The woman in the palace dress in front saw the noise behind her, so she turned around to look.

Aunt Chun was so scared that even if she was wearing a veil, she was afraid that she would see something at a glance, so she turned around and ran, stumbling and fleeing to the house, which separated the hairpin.

She stabilized her mind and smiled at Qu Mingli: "How is the matter handled in the court?" When are we leaving? ”

Qu Ming left her: "There are still some things, just deal with them." ”

Aunt Chun nodded with satisfaction, knowing that he was still reluctant, and comforted him: "It's not that I urged you to leave, it's really your identity, if the person who was attacked knows that you are the princess of Keli, I'm afraid it will lead to death." Besides, I really don't feel at ease when I fight on the battlefield all day long for the generals. In case you never go back......"

Qu Mingli was slightly touched when he heard this.

He had also seen those soldiers who died in battle, and the fresh breath sank into dead silence. But if you put yourself in that situation, you are a little reluctant to anticipate it.

Aunt Chun sighed, took Qu Mingli's hand and said, "Your mother's last wish is to keep you away from these royal affairs and live your life in peace." Aunt Chun, I have no children and no daughters, you are my child, what mother is willing to let her child take such a big risk? Listen to that, okay? ”

Qu Mingli nodded with difficulty and helped Aunt Chun back to the room.

After today, without Lu Ying and Qi Ping, it seems that more than half of the popularity is missing, and the soldiers on patrol only look at it, and they don't dare to talk about it.

There are still as many dishes in the room, but there are half as many people.

Aunt Chun explained: "In the future, you don't need to cook so many dishes, just half is enough." ”

The cook responded again and again, not daring to hesitate.

Uncle Ling had a secret conversation with Aunt Chun for a while after that day, and after coming out, he left, and since then, Yan and Bo have stopped their offensive against Keli, and they are very hurried, and even Keli doesn't know why.

After returning to Qu Mansion, he was also locked in his room all day, reluctant to come out or talk.

For Uncle Ling, Qu Mingli didn't know what kind of mentality to report, he was the one who taught him since he was a child, he used himself as a chess piece, and he was the one who hit Keli back; He is the one who treats him as a child, and he is the one who uses him ruthlessly.

When I first heard the truth, I had resentment, incomprehension, and blame for Uncle Ling. But when I calmed down, I didn't care about anything.

has gone through a lot, and many things can't enter his heart, maybe it's hard, maybe it's cold.

Aunt Chun has already begun to pack up the items she carried, and she has to let her see everything in person.

Fortunately, Aunt Chun thought that it was not appropriate to publicize it, for fear that it would be known before it was done, so she only packed up some small things.

asked Qu Mingli what to bring, Qu Mingli also shook his head, he is also a very simple person on weekdays, as long as he takes those meaningful items away, such as the knife given by Uncle Xiu Gu, the peach basket sent by Ban Fei, the ornaments sent by Lu Ying, etc.

Aunt Chun suddenly remembered something, and asked Qu Mingli nervously: "That year, I made you a ceremonial costume, but are you still there?" ”

Qu Mingli nodded, and took out two pieces of clothing from the clothes at the bottom of the box in the room, one red and one purple, the purple one was never worn because of the previous heart knot, and the red one was only worn once because of poor needlework. As a result, the two clothes still look like new, not shabby at all.

Aunt Chun was happy to see it, picked up the red dress, and asked, "Have you worn this red one?" ”

Qu Mingli nodded.

Aunt Chun still let him wear it on his body, and when she looked at it, she smiled: "Your mother made it for you herself." ”

"Mother?"

Aunt Chun nodded: "That was the first time she did this." When she knew that she would not be able to see the proposed ceremony, she made this dress for you in advance according to the custom of the child. But she didn't want you to know, so she let me leave it to you, saying that I did the same. You have to remember this heart. ”

Qu Mingli stroked the fine fabric, but there was some unbearable needlework, and some wanted to laugh.

Perhaps, this is the only thing my mother left for herself.

At that time, even if it was said that my mother did it for herself, I was afraid that I would be suspicious.

Now it seems that it is the thoughts that my mother left for herself step by step.

The next day, Qu Mingli was different from usual, and entered the palace in a ceremonial court uniform, which was very grand, causing a group of ministers to be stunned, thinking that they didn't know what happened to this General Qu, and his behavior became strange again.

Qu Mingli still ignored everyone's words and eyes, and stood in the queue as usual.

King Zheng said: "Do you have something to do?" ”

Qu Mingli took a breath, stabilized his mind, and walked out and said, "The minister has something to do." ”

He didn't speak in front of him for a long time, and this speech was puzzling.

Seeing that he was dressed solemnly, King Zheng asked with a smile: "What is the matter with General Qu that he is wearing a ceremonial court uniform?" ”

Qu Mingli said seriously: "Go back to the king, minister, you have to resign." ”
