Chapter 123: Take a few more steps
"Concubine Ling needs to rest quietly, you all retreat!"
Min Qingrou repelled all the maids, and even Yuan Qiao didn't stay, only Shen Miaoling and her were left in the house.
"Sister, now that there is no one else, do you still refuse to tell the truth? What the hell is going on tonight? Your martial arts are not weak, don't you really see the true face of that person?"
"Sister, I'm ......" Shen Miaoling's expression was complicated, and she wanted to speak again and again.
"The guards in the mansion have always been strict, how can someone easily break in? Miaoling, is someone really trying to assassinate you? Who is that person?"
Min Qingrou saw that Shen Miaoling was still bowing her head and was silent, her eyes flashed, and she asked tentatively, "Do you know that person?"
"No! I don't know!" replied Shen Miaoling reflexively.
"I don't know? So that means there are really assassins in the mansion? But why? You are just an ordinary concubine in the mansion, even if you assassinate, you should assassinate the prince, how can it be you?"
Min Qingrou immediately questioned sharply.
Shen Miaoling's expression was uncertain, and she avoided Min Qingrou's scrutiny in a little panic.
Min Qingrou looked at her for a long time, and slowly said, "Is it the person behind you?"
Shen Miaoling panicked and quickly shook her head.
Min Qingrou immediately asked, "No, if not, who has a reason to assassinate you?"
After a pause, she said again: "It seems that he has seen everything you did when you went to the Qi Palace, but I'm afraid that you didn't have the consent of the master behind you, right?"
Shen Miaoling was speechless, she really didn't know that Min Qingrou was so smart, she actually guessed everything! Thinking of the words of the man in black, she was anxious.
She was pregnant in the name of King Qi, could it be that she had already been discovered by him?
How is it possible? He calculates his days very carefully, and thinks that he has no flaws in his work, how can he know?
But if he didn't know, who else would have a reason to get rid of the child in her womb?
The more Shen Miaoling thought about it, the more scared she became, the more she thought about it, the more chilled she became, he was so ruthless?
Min Qingrou saw Shen Miaoling's dejected expression and was confused, and continued: "Miaoling, if my guess is correct, do you want to change your current situation by getting pregnant? You hate this kind of life and want to get rid of this involuntary fate! But have you ever thought that the people behind you will agree with your decision?"
Min Qingrou looked at Shen Miaoling's unconsciously clenched hand, and continued: "You have no love for the prince, but you want to spend your life in the Qi Palace, and you are also in pain and struggling, but you are powerless to resist! Miaoling, you deliberately conceived a baby in the name of the prince, in fact, you want to make a struggle, right? You want to gamble, you want to see if the person behind you can tolerate the child in your belly! If this child can stay, I'm afraid it will be the comfort of your life, right?"
"But have you thought about it, since you came to the Qi Palace, they will never let you get out of control! Even if I don't treat you well, I'm afraid you won't be able to save this kid for long!"
"No......"
Shen Miaoling was finally broken by Min Qingrou's repeated words, shaking her head and sobbing bitterly. Both hands unconsciously stroked their still flat lower abdomen, and the maintenance meaning was very strong. "I've done so much for them, he won't ......"
"No, if not, no one will stab you! No, I should say, get rid of the child in your womb!"
Min Qingrou stopped spying and told the truth straightforwardly.
"Sister!" Until this moment, Shen Miaoling's heart defense was finally completely unloaded, and she cried bitterly: "He can't tell me to keep the child in my belly! Why? Why don't you even give me this little hope? I really don't understand ......."
Seeing this, Min Qingrou sat on the edge of the bed and gently pressed Shen Miaoling's shoulder to comfort: "Miaoling, you and I are both women, and for women, the most important thing in life is to have a good man to love themselves." Since you like someone else, why should you waste your life in the Qi Palace? A woman's happiness must be controlled by herself, and since you have taken the first step, why not take a few more steps? You are extremely smart and have martial arts, and you can do more than us ordinary women! This is a good time for you to turn over! Fame and fortune are just passing by the eyes, and it is worth the trip to grasp your own life well!
Shen Miaoling finally raised her head slowly, a little surprised, and asked with some hope, "I...... Can I?"
"Why can't you? You even have his child, don't you have the courage to confess to him? Tiger poison does not eat children, is it true that you, the biological father of the child in the womb, are you really such a ruthless and unrighteous person?"
"No, he's not...... But ......" Shen Miaoling shook her head, but her mood became more and more complicated.
Should she try? Can she try? If he is so ruthless, where should she go?
Min Qingrou saw that Shen Miaoling had begun to waver, but she no longer persuaded her, but just sighed regretfully, and said, "Alas, think about it yourself! Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't let go easily!"
After saying this, Min Qingrou patted Shen Miaoling lightly and said, "Okay, you can rest! I'll go first! Jing'er Xi'er is waiting outside, you can tell them if you have something!"
Shen Miaoling listened, and only nodded gloomily.
Min Qingrou got up and walked out of the guest room, and Yuan Qiao, who was waiting outside the door, immediately followed.
"Let Jing'er Xi'er serve Concubine Ling, let's go back first!"
"Yes!"
Yuan Qiaofu should be in the body, and said to Jing'er Xi'er behind him: "Be careful to serve Concubine Ling!"
Jing'er Xi'er hurriedly blessed her body.
Yuan Qiao followed Min Qingrou back to the main house, and when she saw Min Qingrou sitting on the couch next to the tea table, she hurriedly stepped forward and poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, so she couldn't wait to ask: "Master, what the hell is going on? How did you know that Concubine Ling would be assassinated? Also, the safety of the mansion is in the hands of Commander Wei, how can it be mixed in by assassins?"
The reason why Yuan Qiao asked this is because the master asked her to clean up a guest room in advance during the day, if the master didn't know that Concubine Ling would be assassinated, how could he let her clean up the guest room?
There is one more puzzling point. Wei led the martial arts strongly, and the deployment of the palace was arranged by him, how did the assassins get in?
Min Qingrou took the hot tea, took a few sips gently, and then raised her head and said: "One hundred secrets, Commander Wei may not have no opponents! This also just proves that the person behind Miaoling is indeed not a mediocre hand, and Miaoling was stabbed, the only explanation is to kill people and kill people!"
"Master, so you suspect that it was the person behind her who assassinated Concubine Ling?" said Yuan Qiao in surprise.
"yes, who else could there be?"
"Master, I don't understand. Haven't you always wondered who is behind Concubine Ling's support, why don't you take this opportunity to ask?"
"No need to ask, soon, he will appear on his own!"
Min Qingrou smiled faintly and put down the teacup.
"Master, what do you mean?" Yuan Qiao scratched his head.
Min Qingrou was just about to answer, when Rongtai's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Master, Commander Wei asks to see!"
"Commander Wei?" Yuan Qiao was suddenly surprised, how could Commander Wei come at this time?
"Let him in!" Min Qingrou replied to the door.
The door creaked open and was pushed open, Wei Chenfeng walked in and bowed down and said, "Concubine Rou, the prince asked his subordinates to pick you up!"
Min Qingrou smiled, knowing that Situ Yue couldn't sleep, and there must be a stomach question waiting to ask her.
So she got up and said, "Then let's go, I'm not going, I'm afraid the prince will come over by himself!"
"Yes!"
Wei Chenfeng turned sideways to make way for Min Qingrou, and Yuan Qiao also hurriedly took a thick cloak and draped it on Min Qingrou's shoulders.
A soft sedan chair quickly lifted Min Qingrou to the Pujia Palace, and helped Min Qingrou off the sedan chair by chance, and carefully helped her up the steps.
Wei Chenfeng walked to the door and replied: "Lord Wang, Concubine Rou has arrived!"
"Come in!" Situ Yue's voice immediately came from the room.
"By chance, you stay!"
Min Qingrou motioned for Yuan Qiao to stay outside the door and entered the house alone.
Inside the room, Situ Yue was sitting at the table frowning and pondering, and when he saw Min Qingrou walking in, he immediately got up and greeted him.
"Is it cold?"
Situ Yue reached out and took her small hand, wrapping it in his palm.
"If the prince really feels sorry for the concubine, why do you let the concubine go this way?"
Min Qingrou couldn't help but look at him with disgust.
"Originally, this king wanted to go over by himself, but thinking that Concubine Ling is with you, it is better to take you over. ”
Situ Yue took off Min Qingrou's cloak and put it on the shelf, and took her hand and sat in front of the table.
"What's the big deal with the prince, you have to ask the concubine overnight?
Min Qing's soft eyes flowed, and she asked knowingly.
"This king is going to ask you! Rou'er, don't you have anything to explain to this king?"
Situ Yue looked at Min Qingrou and did not ask directly, but indirectly guided.
Min Qingrou didn't give him a good time, and said with an innocent face: "Could it be that Rou'er did something to make the prince unhappy? Why can't Rou'er remember it?"
After that, he frowned in contemplation.
Seeing that she was deliberately playing tricks with him, Situ Yue was no longer polite, reached out and pinched her chin and said, "Concubine Ling was assassinated, what the hell happened?"
"Isn't this something to ask Miaoling? Why are you asking me?"
Min Qingrou immediately retorted unconvinced.
"Ask her, I'm afraid she's still being kept in the dark!"
Situ Yue just had a feeling that Min Qingrou would definitely not be able to get rid of everything that happened tonight! Recently, he had become too accustomed to her schemes, and the people and things inside and outside the house were basically under her control.
"Does the prince mean to suspect the concubine? Does the prince think that the concubine attracted the assassin to assassinate Miaoling? But the prince doesn't want to think about it, where did the concubine recruit the assassin with strong martial arts?"
Min Qingrou immediately asked rhetorically.
"This is also what this king wants to know!" Situ Yue looked at Min Qing with some frustration and said softly: "Rou'er, don't fool this king! This king knows that you must know about this! What are you talking about? Don't hide it from this king!"
Seeing that Situ Yue was a little annoyed, Min Qingrou reached out and gently wrapped his neck, and said with a soft smile: "Does the prince really want to know?
"What do you want to do?" Situ Yue let go of her chin a little helplessly, and instead hugged her slender waist.
Min Qingrou's eyes turned slightly, and she smiled and said, "Lord Wang, please lend Commander Wei to the concubine for a few days!"
When Situ Yue heard this, his face changed slightly.
