Chapter 261: The Waves of Regeneration
Chapter 261: The Waves of Regeneration
When Qingu returned to the palace, a bad premonition faintly rose in his heart, as if something was about to happen.
In fact, Mrs. Qiao did not suffer from any serious illness: she became sick from worry and fatigue.
It is not an intractable disease, and ordinary doctors can treat it.
The important thing is to relax your mind, and you will be fine if you rest more.
But the other party did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, and deliberately said it very seriously, and invited her over hundreds of miles away.
During the consultation, the other party also intentionally or unintentionally led the topic to the harem, and finally talked about the favored concubine Hua Qing.
——The ancestors of the Qiao family fought with the former emperor, later became ministers of the auxiliary country, and finally married their daughter to the current emperor. It is considered that they complement each other, and their daughters cannot be regarded as high-ranking.
Qingu's current identity is "Miracle Doctor Yao", and her external image is that of a man, so it seems a bit... inappropriate to tell her these things.
After giving some instructions, Qingu planned to leave, but the other party insisted on trying to persuade her to stay, and stayed for another day.
A maid brought her food, and when she put the dishes on the table one by one, she subconsciously leaned towards her, and said softly, "Go back quickly—"
Qingu paused for a moment, and said without any trace: "Who are you?"
"A girl asked me to tell you this afternoon, she said you must know..."
The maid quickly finished speaking and left.
Qingu pretended to be fine and ate, leaving a word and leaving directly.
It seems that the Qiao family really has some purpose, why do you want to keep yourself?
Who is the girl who gave me the message?
The one who knows her true identity...could it be Jia Jia?
But now that she is a legitimate princess, she can definitely recruit herself back, and she doesn't need to be so secretive.
Qingu sorted out her thoughts, and one person came to mind - Liu Xiang.
Over the past year, under his unremitting practice, Qingu has reached the fourth level of martial arts, and can resist needles within a range of ten meters.
With the addition of level II medical skills, Qingu is confident that he will be able to fight against the masters of the fifth and sixth levels the day after tomorrow!
Regardless of his exhaustion from the journey, Qingu did not go back to his other courtyard, but went to the palace, just put down the medicine box, and was going to ask the maid in charge of his side courtyard in the palace: what happened in the past two days after he left.
At this moment, the steward of the front yard hurried to find her, saw her, and hurriedly said: "General Yao, you are back..."
This is Guanshi Zhou, who was brought up by Qiao Zhenyuan later, and he is more trustworthy.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Qingu felt inexplicable, and hurriedly said, "Guard Zhou, what happened in the mansion? Don't worry, speak slowly."
Zhou Guanshi said: "Yesterday the emperor sent someone to send an edict calling for the prince to enter the capital."
Qin Gu was startled, "What, the emperor asked Qiao Zhenyuan to enter the imperial capital again?"
At the time when the award was awarded, it was said that Qiao Zhenyuan should not return to the imperial capital, and it has only been a year since he was suddenly called back... It feels a little bad no matter what.
Qingu said: "Where is the prince now?"
Zhou Guanshi: "The father-in-law who passed the decree is guarding, let the prince set off immediately, and he will leave the house for a day..."
In such a hurry?
not good.
Qingu: "Has the lord brought anyone there?"
Zhou Guanshi: "No, the imperial decree tells the prince to travel lightly and without entourage. The prince originally wanted to wait for you to come back to discuss, but the father-in-law said that if he delays the time, he will deliberately resist the order..."
Qingu secretly said "Oops."
In fact, Qiao Zhenyuan was also blamed for being a fake prince, lacking confidence, and fearing the emperor's orders and imperial edicts from the bottom of his heart.
This is his own fief, with his own army, as long as he doesn't leave the fief, the emperor has nothing to do with him.
But if he entered the imperial capital and didn't bring his own people there, he would be sent to the other party's plan board as fish and meat, and life and death would be at the whim of others.
At this moment, Yao Jiajia came over, and Qingu asked Guan Zhou to do something first.
Because her identity as Yao Qianqian is only known to a few people, this is also for the convenience of restoring her identity in the future and causing too many unnecessary troubles.
When Steward Zhou left, Yao Jiajia said eagerly: "Sister Qianqian, you, you leave the palace as soon as possible. I believe someone has been guarding your other courtyard and will tell you when you come back. I didn't expect you to come directly to the palace. Carriage I'm ready for you, never go back to the palace again, and don't use Yao Qian and Yao Qianqian's names..."
It seems that Yao Jiajia knows a little more information.
Qingu said: "Jia Jia, don't worry, what happened during the two days I left, you tell me first, and then we can discuss what to do."
It turned out that just two days ago when Qingu was invited to leave by the former head of state, someone from the mansion came.
Did some research...
After all, from the prince to the concubine... everyone is fake, so they are still a little guilty, but they finally dealt with it.
Immediately afterwards, the father-in-law came to deliver the imperial decree, asking the "prince" to go to the imperial capital immediately.
Qingu thought, maybe the people sent by the imperial court to find out the bottom line were actually here to test the prince's attitude.
I didn't expect the prince to be such a "rule", so he came directly with an imperial decree.
But since the imperial court has already targeted him, even if it is not an imperial decree, there will be other names to recall the prince back to the imperial capital.
Yao Jiajia was very anxious: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that it will be revealed that he is a fake, and I am also a fake..."
That is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and murdering the royal family is added, even if he has the credit for saving the world, it is still a capital crime!
Qingu pondered for a moment, then said: "I don't think so."
Yao Jiajia: "You said it wasn't because you saw through the real identity of the prince?"
Qingu nodded: "I'm afraid the emperor's real intention is..."
In fact, Yao Jiajia had already thought of something when she saw Qingu's calm appearance, but the incident happened too suddenly and she was in a mess all of a sudden, hoping in her heart that she would get a comforting answer.
Qingu said: "You are in the palace, everything is under martial law, no matter what happens outside, even if you come to preach the imperial decree, you can't go out again, everything will be discussed when I come back."
Thought: It seems that I have to plan well.
"Sister Qianqian, where are you going?"
Just as Qingu was about to answer, the steward shouted anxiously from outside, saying that the emperor sent someone to deliver the imperial decree again, and asked Qingu to receive the decree.
Qingu planned to disguise himself and sneak into the palace... but he didn't expect the imperial decree to come.
She thought about what had happened in the past few days, why did the court come to investigate just after she left?
Just after he tricked Qiao Zhenyuan away, he came to pass the decree to himself again?
So, maybe the ex-governor asked her to see the old lady, but it was actually a trick set up by the other party.
For the former head of state, although his daughter was demoted and imprisoned in the cold palace, she was still alive after all.
In addition, the life and death of their entire family is only a word from the emperor, and there is no room for resistance to what they are asked to do.
Qingu sighed slightly, the other party obviously wanted to separate her from Qiao Zhenyuan and bring them into the imperial city, to keep each other in check (because she is obviously a striker under the prince's command, a capable general, and a member of the prince).
Although Qingu had instructed Qiao Zhenyuan to weaken her achievements in the Battle of Jiagu Pass, she just didn't want to be too famous.
Others don't know the truth, but Hua Qing, Olu Qinming and He Yun know Qin Gu's methods.
They had long wanted to get rid of this General Yao. On the one hand, Qingu didn't take credit for the incident, but retreated bravely and followed King Anle to the fiefdom.
So even if they wanted to harm them, they couldn't harm them.
In the end, only Hua Qing's position in the palace was stable and she firmly grasped the emperor's heart, so she began to plot all this.
...Fortunately, I got the news and came back early. If I stayed for a few more days in consideration of my face, they would have already brought Qiao Zhenyuan into the palace. Their current relationship is a grasshopper on a rope.
So Qiao Zhenyuan must not have an accident.
Those who delivered the decree must have already prepared it...
Indeed, they stayed at Qingu's house, but they didn't expect Qingu to come to the palace first. When they knew that Qingu had come back but went to the palace and came back again, there was a gap of time, which gave Qingu a little chance to breathe.
Yao Jiajia's face was full of panic and helplessness, Qingu patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Do everything according to what I just said, understand!"
Yao Jiajia nodded subconsciously, "Well, well... Sister Qianqian, you..."
Qingu pulled away the other party's hand that was tightly holding on to her arm, and then resolutely followed the steward to the living room outside.
Thinking about it now, Qingu really regrets that he didn't kill the three of them outright at the risk of disobedience.
It's just useless to regret now.
