Chapter 74: There is truth in chess
"What is that?" Dugu Yu suddenly looked at the dim sum box in Dugu Tiannan's hand strangely, and somehow, he felt that the dim sum box was very familiar.
"It's a snack that I don't have time to give, Dad, do you want to try it?" Dugu Tiannan hesitated, but still replied as if unintentionally.
Duguyu waved his hand, "No need!
Dugu Qiannan then returned to his room with snacks. Looking at the emptiness in the hall, Duguyu sighed heavily.
How nice would it be if my daughter was still around?
He still remembers the gentleness of his daughter's white hands massaging his shoulders, the sweet and delicious snacks made by his daughter, and the rich and mellow tea made by his daughter......
Why was God so cruel? He just took the life of the moon? It's so unfair!
Although he was crowned the Duke of Jingguo because of this, and Tiannan was also promoted, if he could, he really wanted to exchange everything for his daughter's life!
If he had the courage to refuse this marriage for his daughter, wouldn't the moon have died?
If she marries an ordinary family, will she live a stable life? He's sorry for her! Obviously, he saw that she was not happy with this marriage, but he did not insist on refusing, but persuaded her a lot of words, and when he thought of this, he regretted not being at the beginning!
It was he who pushed his daughter into the fire pit, it was his fault!
Thinking about it, it was another old tear.
Dugu Qianyue's death was a heavy blow to Dugu's family. Duguyu has only such a daughter, who has not been loved by her mother since she was a child, but she is extremely smart and sensible.
Since Dugu Tianyue became an adult, she has managed all the major and minor affairs in the family, and she has taken care of Dugu's family in an orderly manner.
When her bad news came, Duguyu was stunned, he couldn't imagine at all, how could his daughter die so easily?
He is not without suspicions, but the other party is the second prince Situ Chi, because of the royal power, he has no way to pursue it, but Tanan is different.
He has always been close to Tilting Moon, but since he learned about his sister's sudden miscarriage death, his whole person has changed, becoming silent and gloomy, and becoming preoccupied.
Dugu Yu knew that Dugu Tiannan had been investigating some things privately these days, but he didn't want to stop it. Dumping Moon died too suddenly, things were strange and suspicious, on the surface he couldn't refute anything, but in his heart he was unwilling.
So he let Tannan go to investigate, he didn't expect to find anything, but if he really found out anything, then even if he took the entire Dugu family, he would have to get justice for his daughter!
Father and son are connected, and Dugu Tingnan thinks the same way!
Since his sister's death, he has been hard to believe, so he has been secretly visiting.
He visited my sister when she was pregnant, and the doctor also said that her sister's fetal image was stable and there was no abnormality. Besides, my sister has always been in good health, and there are no hidden diseases, and even minor illnesses and pains are rare, so how can she suddenly have a miscarriage? Besides, even if she has a miscarriage, she will not take her life, he does not believe it! He feels that there is a lot of suspicion in this!
He won't let go of all the clues related to his sister, but people die like lights going out, and there are not many clues about his sister left!
So when he saw the endgame of the pastry that Flawless gave him, he was so shocked!
Why did Min Qingrou know about the chess game that his sister had played with him? A concubine of the Qi Palace, how could she know this? Who was she? Why did he feel a sense of familiarity from the first time he saw her?
He desperately wanted to know the answer!
In anxious waiting, Dugu Qiannan finally waited for Min Qingrou's reply.
It is still Min Qingrou's letter, Xuanyuan's flawless signature. Dugu Qiannan couldn't wait to open the letter, but found that there were only two lines of Juanxiu font on the letter.
But what surprised him was not only the content of the letter, but also the words, which were surprisingly similar to his sister's handwriting!
"How is it possible?" Dugu Tiannan's face changed, and a large cloud of doubt suddenly rose in his heart.
He squeezed the letter paper tightly, only to see that the letter read: There is truth in chess, and there is a trace of the breakthrough game.
The meaning of these two sentences clearly means that if you want to understand everything, you have to break this chess game! So, what secrets are hidden in this chess game?
Dugu Tiannan immediately walked to the pastry chess game and began to study it.
In fact, this chess game is not the most difficult game he played against his sister, his sister had left him a lot of endgames before his death, and he didn't take it seriously because he was greedy to play, but now after calming down and thinking about it, he found that there seems to be a wonderful pattern of peaks and loops in the chess game.
After studying for a long time, he finally cracked this endgame and finally found the secret hidden in this endgame!
"That's the point?"
Dugu Tiannan picked up an inconspicuous pastry sunspot on the corner and said in surprise, and then he immediately noticed that something was wrong!
Suspiciously, he put the rose cake stained with black sesame seeds in the palm of his hand, picked up the other rose cakes and checked them, and found that this key rose cake chess piece was actually much lighter than the other rose cakes.
He thought about it, put down the others, picked up the piece and broke it with both hands, and sure enough, an oily yellow paper roll was revealed in the filling.
Dugu Tiannan's heart moved, and he quickly pulled it out and carefully unfolded it to look at it.
I saw that it was still Min Qingrou Juanxiu's handwriting, and the letter said that she asked him to help do something, hoping that he would agree. Of course, this matter will not harm his interests too much, but he just wants to use his current status as the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital to shock some people in the court.
Min Qingrou didn't mean to force it on the letter, only said that he was asked to do what he could, and at the end it was written to ask Lord Dugu how well.
This made Dugu Qiannan wonder again, since Min Qingrou had a request for him, why didn't he send someone to deliver the letter directly, but he wanted to borrow a flawless hand?
Does she want to avoid suspicion, or does she want to get rid of it if something happens? But why does she greet her father? She doesn't know him, so why does she care so much about him, or does she have other intentions?
Dugu Qiannan couldn't figure it out, why did this concubine of Qi suddenly find him Dugu's family, and use such a subtle method? What is she trying to do?
Now the atmosphere in the court is weird, and although there is no clear dispute between the princes, they are ready to move. Especially his brother-in-law Chengwang, who is the heir to the throne, is even more obvious than anyone else!
He has blatantly recruited Xuanyuan Wu, the general of Jinwu who is in charge of the 100,000 forbidden army, Wei Shengminzhi of the Zhimou family, and Baili City on the side of the matrilineal family to help, and his power can be seen. It seems that the fight for the crown is a must-win!
Others, such as Situ Yue, King of Qi, and Situ Yi, King Yong, although they did not make big moves, they also had a group of friends they had made to help them on weekdays, and all of them were born in the families of important ministers in the court. It can be seen that it is only a matter of time before the three-legged stand is established!
Min Qingrou came to the door to ask for help at this time, just to save her father? He didn't think that it was really hard to say whether there was any other meaning behind this!
So, should he help her? If he helped her, does it mean that the Dugu family will be involved in the party struggle in the future and be labeled as the king of Qi and the party?
For the sake of Min Qingrou, who has never known each other, is it worth taking the lives of dozens of Dugu's family?
It's clearly not worth it. But when he thought that Min Qingrou knew so many things about his sister and had so many similarities with his sister, he couldn't restrain his desire to explore further!
No, he must find out what the hell is going on! His sister's death is not clear, and he doesn't believe in Chengwang Situ Chi's fake rhetoric at all! Maybe there will be some key to Min Qingrou!
Dugu Tiannan gritted his teeth, picked up the brush and wrote a letter, and there were only four words on the letter: As you wish!
When Min Qingrou received the letter from Xuanyuan Mansion, she opened it and saw those words, and smiled faintly. It's just that there is a little indescribable sadness in the smile.
"Master, how is it? Did Dugu Gongzi agree?" asked Yuan Qiao with concern.
Looking at the master's expression, it seems to be done! But why does the master look so sullen, why?
"Yes. Min Qingrou replied, reading the letter in her hand several times, as if she was hesitating about something, and finally folded it, put it on the candle flame and lit it, and put it in the brazier to watch it burn to ashes.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Dugu Tannan agreed to the master's request, which is a good thing! If everything goes according to plan, they will be able to overturn the case for Lord Min. This is a great joy, but the master is not happy?
Yuan Qiao looked at Min Qingrou's stunned appearance, and her heart was full of doubts.
Min Qingrou came back to her senses from her contemplation and said softly to Yuanqiao: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Coincidentally, you go and tell Rongtai that the plan can be carried out as usual!"
"Master, the slave will go and tell Rongtai later. If you are tired, the slave will help you to rest for a while. ”
Yuan Qiao looked at Min Qingrou's increasingly gloomy face, and stepped forward to say with concern.
Min Qingrou showed a shallow smile at Yuan Qiao, patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." It's just that I suddenly have some feelings! Go ahead, the next thing is very important, you tell Rong Tai to be careful in his actions, and he must not be careless! If this matter is revealed, if it is not done, it will be a disaster of death!"
"Got it, master! the slave will remind Rongtai!"
Yuan Qiao nodded, and then he was blessed and retreated.
Min Qingrou got up and walked back to the inner room, I wanted to lie on the bed for a while, but when I walked through the dressing mirror, I saw Min Qingrou's beautiful face in the bronze mirror, and I looked at it blankly, and I couldn't walk.
"Who the hell are you?" Min Qingrou stroked her face and muttered to herself.
"Are you Min Qingrou or Dugu Tingyue? No, you're neither, you're just a soul who wants revenge! Heh! Dugu Tingyue is dead, and Min Qingrou is also dead! You can even sacrifice your mother's family for revenge, your heart is cold at all! Isn't it?"
Min Qingrou was suddenly full of sadness, she sat down on the embroidery stool in front of the dresser, eating and laughing.
Laughing and laughing, tears began to fall.
"I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
She covered her face, fell in front of the mirror, and finally began to cry.
She knew what would happen if she sent that letter. She also knew that Tannan would definitely agree to her request.
Because she knows what her status is in the hearts of her family. If possible, they will do everything they can to save her!
She took advantage of Tilt Nan's sister-brother affection for her to pull the Dugu family into the water, because she knew that the Dugu family was a great help to Situ Yue, the king of Qi! If Situ Yue got the help of the Dugu family, he would definitely be like a tiger, then he would have a better chance of winning the battle for the crown in the future!
Situ Yue can't be defeated, and if she is defeated, the life she was lucky to get will be meaningless!
Didn't God bring her back to life just to give her a chance to take revenge? She has already given up everything, what else is there to scruple about?
Yes, only by revealing Situ Chi's true face, her life will not be in vain! If Tannan knew, he would definitely support her with all his might, right?
So she shouldn't feel guilty. Yes, when she takes revenge, she will find an opportunity to tell Tannan all the truth, although she is no longer Dugu Tingyue, but she believes that her father and brother will recognize her!
Yes, blood and family, they will be considerate of her, won't they?
