Chapter 132: Good Sister
Because of hope, Wei Chenfeng has the motivation again, he takes the medicine diligently, and his body recovers quickly.
In just four or five days, half of the internal injuries were recovered. Originally, Situ Yue planned to let him recuperate for a few more days before setting off, but news suddenly came from Qingzhou, saying that the Yi army ignored the imperial court to appease him, and secretly attacked and assassinated King Situ Chi, the two armies have already exchanged troops, and a big war is imminent!
Hearing this news, Situ Sheng was furious and immediately issued a holy decree to exterminate the mob with all his might.
When Situ Yue and Min Qingrou heard the news, they knew that something was wrong. If you wait until Situ Chi destroys all the Yi army, this matter will be a foregone conclusion.
So he couldn't wait for Wei Chenfeng's injuries to be healed, so Situ Yue took him to Qingzhou in a hurry.
And after they left, Min Qingrou immediately began to send people to investigate the affairs of Chengwangfu.
She knew that Liu De, the head of Chengwangfu, had a bad problem, he drank too much and liked to talk nonsense. So he asked Rongtai to get acquainted with Liu De in disguise in the name of friendship, and brought a pot of imperial wine in the palace to pour Liu De with seven meat and eight vegetables, and set out the news of Chengwangfu.
Rong Tai returned to the Qi Palace, and immediately returned everything to Min Qingrou.
"Master, have inquired clearly! King Cheng's Mansion is now divided between the two masters, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Qin, and the rest of the concubines and maidservants are all unable to get on the stage! Although King Cheng occasionally summons luck, the strange thing is that none of them can successfully get pregnant! So King Cheng has almost given up the idea of using his heir to ascend to the throne of the crown prince!"
"Oh, really?"
Min Qingrou listened, and was a little suspicious in her heart, Situ Chi was in the prime of life and was not as weak and cold as Situ Yue, how could he fail every time and again, and always have no heirs?
It seems that someone must be obstructing it! Xuanyuan Wuzhen is the most suspicious, she can't give birth to a child, and she definitely doesn't want others to give birth to a child who becomes a king, her small temperament, vicious temper She knows it very well!
"Rongtai, have you inquired about the person I asked you to inquire?" Min Qingrou thought for a moment and suddenly asked.
In fact, she no longer has any feelings about Chengwangfu, but now there is one thing that she can't rest assured, that is, her personal maid Yonghe, this maid has also served her wholeheartedly since she entered the mansion, and she is loyal, just like today's fate is the same as her.
It's just that I don't know what happened to Situ Chi after she died?
"Back to the master, the slave also used words, but about the matter of Princess Cheng and the people around her, the old thing was tight-lipped, and he refused to say a word more! Only vaguely said that after the princess was buried, all the people in her courtyard were dismissed! That Yonghe also did not know where to go!"
"Impossible!"
Min Qingrou's face sank, Situ Chi would never let Yonghe go so easily! Yonghe saw Situ Chi beat her with her own eyes, if Yonghe hadn't been killed, then she would have been locked up!
But where will Situ Chi keep her?
Dungeons, torture chambers, family temples?
No, these places are too conspicuous! and they're easy to spot. So where will Situ Chi lock Yonghe up?
Min Qingrou pondered for a while, but she couldn't think of a clue for a while. She had no choice but to wave her hand and order Rong Tai: "Rong Tai, you go down first! I'll call you again if there's something!"
"Yes!" Rong Tai bowed and withdrew, leaving Min Qingrou alone with a frowning brow.
I don't know how long it took, but Yuan Qiao finally came back, entered the door and blessed Min Qingrou, and said: "Master, everything you have explained has been done! The slave and maid have already gone to the Taiwei Mansion to deliver a letter, and Miss Xuanyuan has also replied, saying that she is willing to go to Luoyun Mountain with her master tomorrow to worship the Buddha. ”
Min Qingrou nodded slightly when she heard this, and said, "Okay, go and help me prepare all the items, and you will go to Luoyun Mountain with me tomorrow." ”
Of course, about Xuanyuan is just a pretense, what she really wants to make an appointment is actually Dugu Qiannan.
At this moment, she saw Dugu Tannan at the place where the two met for the first time in Houshan as she wished, and her heart was slightly relaxed.
"Concubine Rou, I don't know what happened to call Tannan over today?"
Xuanyuan Wufang was very smart, and knew that Min Qingrou must have something to do with Dugu Tannan, so he avoided it far away with the help of fate.
Dugu Qiannan looked at this familiar and unfamiliar Rou Concubine Niangniang, and a lot of doubts surged in his heart for a while.
Min Qingrou looked at Dugu Qiannan's confused and somewhat guarded appearance, and chuckled: "I called you over today to return you a favor." I am very grateful for your help in the court that day. ”
"Concubine Rou Niangniang doesn't have to be like this! I criticized Wu Yong in the court that day, and I couldn't get used to Wu Yong's actions for a while, and secondly, I also thanked you for being me and had no time to hide. All that counts, we've flattened it!"
"The things I helped you conceal and flawless are just a trivial matter, and they are not worth mentioning compared to the facts of the court government! But I still want to take the liberty of asking you, why are you willing to help me? You should know that that matter implicates King Cheng, once you help me speak, it is equivalent to turning against King Cheng and standing in the camp of King Qi, so you are not afraid that the emperor will sentence you to a party for personal gain?"
Dugu Tingnan glanced at Min Qingrou and said slowly: "Forming a party for personal gain? Sooner or later, the DPRK and China will be divided by factions, how can the emperor not know? If he was taboo about this, he should not have been drafted in the paddock in the first place, and the position of the prince was used as a reward to encourage the three kings to add heirs to the royal family! This is already mixed with a struggle of interests, who can say what?"
"Even so, you should be helping King Cheng, after all, your sister is Princess Cheng, why don't you ignore your relatives and do the opposite?"
Min Qingrou asked again.
In fact, she also guessed something, Dugu Tiannan was influenced by her. When she was still the princess, she disagreed with many of the practices of King Situ Chi, and even disgusted them.
But these things are private matters after all, and she is not good at telling others, but when she came to visit her, she mentioned them a little and expressed her depression towards her brother.
How could he not know his sister's feelings? When the saint decreed marriage, he felt that his sister was wronged. My sister was a well-informed person who sacrificed her marriage for the sake of the family at that time. He always hoped that King Cheng could treat his sister well and make his sister happy, but he didn't expect his sister to end up like this!
Regarding his sister's death, Dugu Qiannan has always been suspicious, not only doubting Situ Chi's loyalty to his sister, but also doubting the cause of his sister's death. Since his sister's death, he has been secretly tracking down the cause and effect, and he doesn't believe that his sister died because of a miscarriage. My sister has always been healthy, and she won't die so easily!
But after checking for a few months, all the maids and guards who were serving his sister at the beginning were dismissed, some moved away, and some did not know their whereabouts, which made him even more suspicious.
Was this a coincidence? He was sure that his sister's death must be hiding a huge secret!
However, he didn't know where to start.
Since his sister's death, he rarely went to Chengwangfu again. Now that things are wrong in the house, all the clues are broken!
He has been worrying about how to continue to investigate, King Cheng went to Qingzhou for the mob, this is a good time! However, there is also a strong martial arts Wei Siming in Chengwang's mansion, according to the information he received, King Cheng did not bring this personal guard to Qingzhou this time, but let him stay in Chengwang's mansion, it seems that Situ Chi is also preventing others from killing his lair!
But at this moment, he received a message from this concubine, saying that she wanted to discuss important matters with him. He didn't know what she meant by 'big things'.
But since the last time he had no time to bring that endgame to him, he has paid great attention to this Rou Concubine Niangniang!
Why does she have the endgame of her sister playing against him when she was alive? Does she also know what is going on with her sister? Who is she? Is she really just an ordinary concubine in the Qi Palace? Her words and deeds are full of inexplicable familiarity, and Dugu Qiannan has a faint feeling in her heart, this Rou Concubine Niangniang must have something to do with her sister!
So here he comes.
When Min Qingrou asked such a question about his family's life, he did not hesitate and replied truthfully: "My sister died in King Cheng's mansion for no reason, and I don't believe the reason given by King Cheng!
"Princess Cheng's miscarriage died, this is a well-known thing, why do you suspect that your sister's death is unknown?"
Min Qingrou only felt that her nasal niche was hot, her younger brother had been kind to her since she was a child, and now that the two were separated by yin and yang, of course he couldn't stand this blow. It was expected that he would not accept her death, but she wanted to know, how lucid was Tannan?
Dugu Qingnan looked at Min Qingrou, and seemed to see a suspicious tear from her slightly evasive gaze.
Did she cry? Why? Because of his words? Or because of her sister?
He stared at her and said in a low voice, "My father and I received the news from King Cheng's Mansion, so we hurried over. I wanted to see my sister for the last time, but I didn't expect that King Cheng had already put my sister in a coffin because of the hot weather! I wanted to open the coffin, but he did everything possible to prevaricate and delay for some reason. Later, under the pretext of packing up my sister's belongings, I went to Fuyuxuan, where my sister lived, to investigate, but the people there went to the empty building and left no clues! But the more this happened, the more suspicious I became! Why didn't King Cheng let me open the coffin? I clearly had a ghost in my heart! Poor sister did her best for King Cheng's mansion, but in the end she only kept a false name! And my father and I didn't even see my sister for the last time!"
Dugu Tiannan said in the end, tears flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fist and slammed it into the trunk of the big tree on the side!
"Leaning South ......" Min Qingrou burst into tears uncontrollably for a while.
Dugu Tiannan took a deep breath, suddenly turned his head and stared at her tightly, and said, "Who are you? Why do you care so much about our Dugu family? You are so concerned about my sister's death, do you know something? Also, why do you have the endgame that your sister sent me? You say, who are you?"
Dugu Qiannan's questioning made Min Qingrou regain some composure, she took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said: "Tingnan, to tell you the truth, in fact, I am your sister-"
"What did you say?" Dugu Tiannan was startled and glared at her in disbelief.
"Your sister's good sister!"
Min Qingrou gritted her teeth and added.
"No way! If my sister had had fellowship with you, how could I not know?"
Dugu Tannan didn't believe it at all. He had never heard of this concubine before, and his sister had never mentioned it to her. She said that she and her sister are close friends, how is this possible?
"Your sister and I have a private relationship, and we cherish each other, but we hide it from each other because of our identity. We all know that in the future we are likely to take a hostile position, so we have made an agreement not to reveal it to others, so others don't know about our relationship at all! Even King Cheng and King Qi don't know!"
"I don't believe it! This is your side of the story, do you want to use this to win my trust? What do you want to do when you invite me here today?"
Dugu Qiannan obviously couldn't accept this set of rhetoric.
"Believe it or not! I know everything about your sister, and I also know that it was not her intention at all for her to marry into the Chengwang Mansion! She died suddenly, and I doubt it even more! She has always been in good health, and there is no reason why she will lose her life in an accident! I originally wanted to send someone to find the maid Yonghe, who was serving her closely, but this girl disappeared after your sister's death! I suspect that she was locked up somewhere by King Cheng, so I want to ask you to help me check it out!"
"Are you also investigating the cause of my sister's death?" Dugu Tiannan was shocked, could it be that this Rou Concubine didn't lie so much?
If it weren't for deep feelings, who would take such a big risk to fight for someone who is already dead?
"Yes, I can see that the death of the moon is a heavy blow to your Dugu family, if you can't let her grievances be revealed, won't it be in vain for us to have a relationship?"
